There is a fish hatchery at Wawona
from which the waters throughout the
park are being stocker, and in q few
years the government will be able to
issue fishing permits for visitors.
All OF this private property within the
park ought 10 be purcha sed by the govern
ment and the owners would be willing to
sell or exchange for government land in
other parts OF the state.
Only the other day Congress passed an
act authorizing exchange for the Gala
veras Big Tree Forest, which was owned
by Minnesota lumber king. who was pa
triotic enough to wait patiently for years
for Congress to exchange a grove OF the
most majestic sequoia trees in the world
for cumberland of equal value elsewhere
on the public domain.
The chain OF parks in that section of
California belonging to the government
now embraces $4,000 acres, including the
Yosemite Valley, the -Mariposa, the Sc
quota, Gen. Grant and Calaveras groves
Of big trees. all of which should be con-
nected by perfect roadways, so that the
public can enjoy their wonders without
discomfort and fatigue. They are all
acres that will belong perpetually TO the
government. Private individuals are not
allowed to build roads or make improve
ments of any kind without permission.
Therefore Congress should make appro-
priationS sufficient to build a network Of
highways and trails. 1t Is impossible
now to go about either in an automobile
blackboard, or even to make a pc
destrian tour.

discarded, were causing trouble for
them. That complaint was followed
by an order against the sale of the
remaining 5000 rifles by auction.

Complaints From Shippers.

HELENA, April 14.-Operators in

complainants at the coal rate hearing

on this commodity from the mines to
all points In the state. The "arbi.
trary" charge Of SO cents which the
Bear Creek operators were compelled
to pay, as against the coal rate from
the Red Lodge district, prevents the
Bear Creek operators from entering
into active competition with the Red
Lodge mines, and strong fight was
made by the operators ito have this
"arbitrary" charge reduced.

Thar exceptions were reserved

is probable the railroads will apreal

Aside from the Bear Creek field, the
only other objections to present rates
raised by shippers was the'demand for
lower rate on slack or steam coal
than ON the commercial product.
Such rate 10 made by the Oregon
Short Line, and 1t enables the opera.
tors to dispose of hundreds of tons
which would otherwise be thrown on

Many operators were called to the
stand and some salient facts on the
Montana coal situ alton were obtained.
Butte Is the most competitive point in
the state and the bulk of the supply,
between 500 and 600 cars a month,
comes in from Utah and Wyoming
points over the Oregon Short Line.
Because of the keen competition in the
Butte field but little effort is made to
sell coal there, the Montana operators

TARIFF FOR PHILIPPINES.
President Advises Congress That
New Law Is Necessary.


New Law Is Necessary.
WASHINGTON, April 15.-The presi.
dent today sent to congress q special
message in relation to the Philippine
tariff. The message transmits recon.
mendations by the secretary of war for
a revision of the Philippine tariff so
as to permit as much customs revenue
as possible for the islands and at the
same time to extend to the islands the
principle of a protective tariff for its
industries.
The message and accompanying let
tiers with a copy of the proposed act
were submitted to both houses of con.
gress shortly after they convened to.
day.
Generally speaking, the bill SUBJ
mitted by the president makes slight
increase in the rates of duty now lev
led in the Philippine tariff but its
trainers say its tendency is to insure
as far as practical the benefit of the
Philippine market for American N anu.
factures and products. The bill makes
some additions to the free list. There
will be an increase in intern al revenue
duties by which it is hoped to m axe up
the loss which the Philippine islands
will sustain by the operation of the
free trade provisions in the pending
Payne tariff bill.
The internal revenue laws for the
Philippines are enacted by the Philip.
