JAPANESE WORSTED BY
HIS NEW MOTORCYCLE
Oriental Tries to Ride TWo-Whee!ed
Go-DeVil-Breaks Leg, Loses
Part of an Ear and
Much Money

A broken leg, half an ear gone and
SIS damages beside considerable loss
of time and money for sundries and
repair bills constitute the price which
l. Nikano, proprietor of bicycle shop
in the local japanese quarter, has paid
for the necessary experience in acquir-
ing the ability to manage a motor
cycle.
Nikano' purchased the motorcycle, a
powerful racing machine, several weeks
ago from a Los Angeles merchant, and
as result of the many accidents he
has been unable to pay in full for the
machine. The first accident happened
shortly after the wheel was sold to
him and Nikano had forgotten how to
slow down the machine. When he got
between a couple of vehicles, instead
of turning the power off he threw wide
open the throttle as far as it could go.
AS a result he shot squarely into the
back of milk wagon, breaking his leg.
Only a few weeks ago Nikano met
with mishap by running into another
motorcycle and as a result he was com
PEELED to pay the damage, which
amounted to over $40.

When the big wagonload of provis-

S. K. Sewall, superintendent of the

SIGNS ORDERS
FOR FORESTS
IMPORTANT CHANGES TO BE
PUT IN FORCE
MANY BOUNDARIES ALTERED BY
EXECUTIVE DECREE
Object Sought Is to Equalize Area of
Units and Facilitate the Admin
istration of the Different
Districts

w AOf1lNIION, july lU.-1no preSl-
dent has just signed executive orders
making important changes in the
boundaries of practically all the ma
tional forests in the state of California.
This is another step in the comprehen-
sive plan of redistricting the national
forests in all the western states.
No addition in forest area is involved
in the redistricting plan. The object of
the work is to equalize the area of ad-
ministrative units and to arrange their
boundaries in such a manner as to pro-
mote the most practical and efficient
administration of the forests. 1t will
enable officers of the forest service TO
give prompt attention to all forest bus
mess, and will further the interests and
lumbermen, miners and other users or
settlers in the national forests. The
California national forests which will
be affected by this Encouragement and
the redistribution are as follows:
The San Gabriel and San Bernardino
national forests will be combined in q
new forest, to be known as the Angeles.
Supervisor r. H. Charlton who has
been in charge of the San Gabriel and
San Bernardino forests, will be in
charge of this new forest, with head
quarters at Los Angeles, as at present.
The forest is located in San Bernardino,
Los Angeles and Riverside counties,
Cal, and has an area of /, $780, OIL acres.
California is the name given to what
was formerly the Stony Creek national
forest, along with a part of the Trinity
national forest approximately in I. rs
N, r. IL W., M. D. M. Supervisor
Ernest Britten, who has been in charge
of the Stony Creek national forest, will
be in charge of this forest, with head
quarters at Willows, Cal. The new
California forest is located in Trinity,
Tehama, Mendocino, Glenn, Lake and
Colusa counties, and has an area of
969, 500 acres.
The new Inyo national forest will in
clude the old Inyo and Sierra (E) ma
tional forests with the White noun
tains addition to the Inyo national
forest, beginning approximately on the
south side of T. 80 S., R. &c E., M. ID.
M, and extending about twelve miles
north of the California and Nevada
state lines in approximately 7. N. r..
rs E., M. D. M. Supervisor A. H.
Hogue, who has been in charge of the
Inyo and Sierra (E) national forests,
will be in charge of this forest, with
headquarters at Bishop. This forest is
located in Mono and Inyo counties,
Cal, and in Esmeralda county, New,
and has an area of 1,5O1.9SO acres.
Forests In the North
The klamath national forest has been
combined with the Goose Neck addi-
dition on the east side, small part of
the Trinity national forest on the north
adm part of the Shasta national forest
on the west. and will continue to be
known as the klamath national for.

The entire issue of Owens river bonds
is sold. and the aqueduct is financed
for all time to come.
The proposition presented to the
council by the New York syndicate
just before adjournment Thursday
evening was the one accepted when
that body convened yesterday morning
and the vote was made unanimous, but
only after Councilmen Wrenn and
Yonkin had voted no and before the
vote was declared, changed their ball
lots to aye.
1t was evident before the council con-
yened that an overnight reflection had
had the desired effect on a number of
the members of the council and there
were the necessary six votes to pass
the measure, even IL Councilman Wal
lace and his second, Councilman Yon-
kin, persisted in their attitude.
Councilmen Lyon, Blanchard and
Healy declared their determination to
vote for the measure. Councilman
Clampitt, who from the start has been
more or less in favor of the PROPOSE
ton, was completely won over and his
mind was made up to vote in favor of
the ratification of the contract when he
reached the city hall yesterday morn
ing. Councilman Wrenn's position was
not so well defined, but It was believed
when he saw the sentiment of the nee
essary two-thirds was against him. He
had found some fault with the meas
ure, as had all members of the coun-
Gil, but he had made no declaration
that indicated the state of his heart
1t was with some surprise, then, that
during the general discussion preced-
ing a vote on the measure Mr.. Wrenn
took the floor and declared he did not
propose to vote in favor of ratifying
the contract unless the amount to be
paid the city during the next year was
$5,000,000, the sum the board of public
works has estimated in round figures
would be necessary to carry the work
through the year.
Plenty Of Money
Gen. Adna R. Chaffee, the member
of the board of public works in charge
OF the aqueduct construction, said later
the $4,080.000 which will be delivered
during the year would amply cover
the years expenses and there would be
little surplus.
When the meeting was called to or
der by Barney Healy, chairman pro
tenn, the atmosphere was charged with
suppressed excitement. There was one
very noticeable feature and that was
that the rival bond buyers were on the
best of terms. They were chatting
amicably the entire morning, while on
previous days they had stood apart
IN corners and glared at each other
in a manner unbecomnig men of af-
fairs. A seraphic smile illumined the
countenance of ]. w. Billiard. the rep
for he felt confident his work Of the
Los Angeles herald., 1908-07-11

Wrenn said he was still opposed to the
measure, but as his single little vote
would not count for much he would
change it to the affirmative.
The city treasurer was authorized
to execute the contract and the bonds
were sold.
