said it at dinner time. Both these dig
nitaries were present at and assisted
in unveiling the Fra Sierra tablet.
The inscription on the tablet, which
is of bronze about two by three feet
in size, is as follows:
The Beginning of Civilization in California
FRA JUNIPERo SIERRA
Apostle
Legislator
Builder
To commemorate his good works
This tablet is hereby placed
Unveiled by William Howard Taft,
27th president of the United States,
October r. A. D. 1903.
Surmounting the inscription is bas

merce boosters who had come here
by rail from San Bernardino marched
up the street just as the president left
the Glenwood Inn the first time. They
gave their cry as he passed. Twice
later they We're in the street to give
him a "hurrah" as he passed.
A committee of local women had
been busy several days decorating the
Glenwood Mission Inn, and the result
was highly creditable to their skill.
The presidents suite, which also was
occupied by President Roosevelt on
his tour in May, 1903, was striking in
it's decorations of characteristic trop-
ical greenery. Date palm branches,
peppers, acacias and umbrella plant
comprised the decorative material.

institute. Here the Indian girls and
their fresh white waists and dark
skirts, and the boys in their gray uni
forms. presented an Impressive and
beautiful sight. President Taft said
a few words of cheer to the govern
ment's wards and was on his way back
to Glenwood inn.
If there was any one thing which
made the celebration of President
Tafts visit distinctive it was the mill
toriness of it. Militiamen were every
where. A guard of honor rode in an
auto near the president, militiamen
guarded the streets and militiamen
formed a Gordon around the GlenWood
Inn after the president was once inside.
Nobody was allowed TO pass in or out
without a pass or showing good cause.
The president is beginning to believe
that all the good secret service men
do not receive their pay from Uncle
Sam. Not an accident marred the auto
ride. There was not one single tire
trouble or other accident, which is a
most remarkable thing.
Given an Hours Rest
There was just an hour between the
time of stepping from the autos until
it was time to sit down at dinner with
the president, yet every member of
his party was ready for the occasion
in conventional dress. Many a gallon
of water was used to accomplish the
result, for the members of the party,
President Taft included, wore a coat
of dust at least an eighth of an inch
thick when the auto ride was ended.

Johnson said grace. Bishop Conaty

AS the presidential party entered the
Glenwood dining room they passed un-
der an arch of date palm branches
with pendant clusters of ripening
dates. The piece de resistance of the
dining room was huge Roman vase,
piled high with oranges and grape
fruit. In the refectory, where the
banquet was served, the president sat
under a canopy of pepper boughs in
which the berries showed crimson
Crossed flags and shield were in place
behind the president. The menu was
as follows:

Says Last Goodby


"There is no experience in my life
so delightful as these seven days in
California. 1t has been strenuous, but
so is life. I regret I must say goodby'
but weA must all part some time
Goodby and thank you"
AS the president concluded his re-
marks, Bishop Conaty rose and,
placing his hands upon the president s
shoulder, said a little benediction, bid
ding him and the members of his party
godspeed and asking heavens protec-
ton for them during the rest of their
trip.
The presidential party went imme-
diately from the banquet hall to the
special train. At the depot large
number of people had gathered and
gave President Taft rousing send-on
as he stood on the back platform OF
his car waving his hand to the people
Some of the boosters had missed thelr
train and were carried ITO Cotton on
the presidents train. from which
point he went to Arizona over the
Santa Fe.
"Boosters" on Deck
The boosters gathered at the pres
ident's car and called him out Joseph
Scott made the farewell address Tor
the "boosters," and said that If their
efforts had made one drop OF Dloou
race quicker through President Ialt
veins then the boosters mission had
been fulfilled. In reply the president
said that he wanted to be considered
one of the boosters" ,,,
AS his tran pulled out he was sun
shaking hands with boosters ana
saying good night and "God pless
every one of you" There ended tne
memorable visit of President Taft TO
Los Angeles the most successful and
best planned affair of a similar char
acter ever undertaken on the Pacife
coast.

COTENANCY LAW

The Supreme Court handed down a.
decision Saturday in the case of
May K. Brown VS.. Henry Holmes, trus-
Tee, ct al, affirming the decision of
the Circuit Court that sale of the
property in question by a commission ar
be made and that the proceeds, after
payment of costs, be divided among the
parties according to their respective
interests, from which decree an ap-
peal was taken by one of the defend
ants, George H. Holt.
In the syllabus the court, in the opi-
Mon written by Chief Justice A. S.
Hartwell, holds:
A cotenant is entitled to a partition
of his share in the common estate, or
a sale if partition would greatly pre-
JUDGE the parties. The fact that there
are minor cotenants unable to purchase
does not affect such right.
cotenant cannot be allowed in case
of sale for money expended for improv.
ing a small portion but not material
ly enhancing the value of the entire
estate.
A finding that under the circum-
stances of this case a partition in kind
is not possible is not reversed for err

SAN FRANCISCO, December "a. -
Sam Fitzpatrick, manager of Jack
johnson, writes FROM Newcastle, Aus
tralia, that interest in the coming
match between Johnson and Tommy
Burns is intense. According to Fitz-
patrick, the land of the kangaroo is
boxing-mad at present, and it is
source of regret to the old-time sport
ing men of that section that Australia
has not fighters of its own who can
claim championship caliber.
Here is what Fitzpatrick has to say:
You would be surprised at the in
terest that is taken here in the TWEEN
ty-round go between Jack johnson
and Tommy Burns. The boom began
of course, when Burns arrived in the
Colonies to box Squires, and at the
present time there are more fellows
talking fight than there were back in
| 81, when Jack Burke, the Irish lad,
spared Larry Foley at the Caring
ton grounds near Sydney. l often hear
some of the old-timers remark: What
q shame that we have no Frank Sla-
wins and Peter Jacksons now. If we
had, you can. bet your life we wouldn't
be waiting to see two foreigners fight
ing for the worlds championship
"They opened the box yesterday
November 23d) and everything points
to a bumper gate Burns and Johnson
are hard at work. Tommy is up in
the Blue mountains and we are locat-
ed at the old St. Joseph Banks Hotel

day or two. Have been taking a run

WALES WANTS To
SEE WELSH FIGHT

LOS ANGELES, December 16.-Fred-
die Welshs professional services are
now in big demand in his own country,
Wales. The English champion tonight
received the following cablegram:
Your countrymen crazy to see YOU
Gable if you will agree to meet winner
of the Britt-Summers battle. Welsh
syndicate being formed to handle dur
ing March. viii give purse G1,OOO.-
Ted Lewis"
Freddie will answer accepting the
terms as offered, but will do a little
long distance jockeying in an effort to
secure a concession in the way of ex-
pense money.
Welsh appeared in the gymnasium
of the Los Angeles Athletic Club this
morning in a three-round bout with
Ivan Kahn, the clever amateur. The
exhibition was arranged for the spe-
cial benefit of James j. Corbett and w.
w. Naughton, neither of whom had
ever seen the British boxer in action.
The verdict of both the experts was
that Welsh is all that has been said of
him, and that he is one of the leading
candidates for the worlds lightweight
championship honors.
Corbett grew enthusiastic over the
cleverness of the past Pontypridd
youngster. Before Welsh and Kahn
bad been boxing two minutes Corbett
said:
This boy has got everything. He
has 1t on any Of the other lightweignts
in cleVerness with the possible excep-
ton of Joe Cans"
The aftermath of the Papke-Kelly
battle is all of a peaceabe nature.
Papke evidently realizes that he was a
very lucky young man to get away
with half of the decision. He is say
ing very little outside of the fact that
he has stated that in finish fight he
believed he would be the survivor.
Neither Kelly nor his manager, Silva
Ferretti, have seen fit to cry "stop
thief" but instead have accepted the
draw decision in a sportsmanlike man
ner.
"Unquestionably Jeffries gave the
decision as he saw it," said Ferretti.
There is a strong probability that
the two middleweights will be matched
again. Both the Los Angeles and San
Francisco promoters are working to
get Papke and Kelly together a fourth
time.
Jimmy Coffroth of San Francisco Of
fered Kelly and Papke the New Years
date at Colma and pledged himself to
secure a February date with Middle
weight Champion Stanley Ketchel for
the winner. Ferretti will visit San
Francisco and look over the situation

REPORT Of THE
CONSERVATION
COMMISSION

The Hawaiian Forester and Agricul-
turlst, in its December number, which
has just been Issued, gives the re-
port of the Territorial Conservation
committee which was made to Cover
nor Frear just before the latter left
for the coast. After it's preliminary
statement, the commission, which con-
ststs of Messrs. Hosmer, w. o. Smith,
j. G. Smith, w. F. Dillingham; and A.
Gartley, makes the following recon-
mendations:
First That active steps be taken
to secure from the Territorial Legis-
lature at its coming session an appro-
priation of not less than $1,000 per
year for topographic and hydrogra-
phic survey of the Territory of Ha-
waii, to be made by the U. S. Geological
Survey
Following the usage customary in
such cooperative agreements, the ap-
preparation should be made contingent
on the expenditure of an equal sum by
the Federal government. Such a sur
vey would serve as a basis for a later
and more extended study of the pro-
blems of retaining the many thou
sand acres of potentially agricultural
land that require irrigation for sue
cessful development.
1t is further recommended that this
project be brought to the attention of
the proper department authorities in
Washington in such way as to at
tract their interest and support.
Second. That there should be under
taken under the auspices of the Ter
ritorial government careful and tho
rough classification of the public lands
of the Territory, with especial re-
ference to the adaptability of those not
now under cultivation for use in the
development of diversified industries
Third That further to make avail
able accurate information of assist
ance to prospective settlers and others,
appropriate action be taken to secure
the extension to Hawaii of the soil
survey conducted by the Bureau of
Soils of the United States Department
of Agriculture.
Fourth. That in view of the fact
that the successful development of di-
versifed industries in Hawaii depends
in large measure on making the agri-
cultural lands accessible, the import
ance of good roads and other means
of inland transportation be emphasized.
In Hawaii there are no internal wa
terways to assist in transportation.
Consequently it is the more necessary
that adequate appropriations be made
by the Territorial and local author
tiles for the building and up-keep of
the principal and secondary roads.
Fifth. That an appropriation be Sc
cured at the coming session of the
Legislature for a Territorial Statisti-
clan.
Such an official should properly be
attached to one Of the existing depart
ments. The salary should be sufficient

WANT ALL
THE MONEY.
MEN WHO WOULD TURN DOWN
ALL HARBOR IMPROVEMENT
TO AID MISSISSIPPI SCHEME.
lsnecial Corresnondencel

WASHINGTON, ID. c., December 90
1t would be very unfortunate thing
for Hawaii if the Federal Congress
paid any attention to the recommen-
dations of the National River ana
Harbors Congress. The latter body 10
not official in any way and its recon-
mendations make little impression on
the National law makers. 1t is the
scheme of the River and Harbor Con-
gress to secure vast sum of money
for the improvement of the waterways
of the nation along lines laid down
by a commission to be appointed for
that purpose, and it is their theory
that the most important waterways
should be first improved and all small
err projects be allowed to wait until
the larger ones are completed.
1t is the opinion of the National
River and Harbor Congress that the
Mississippi River and it's tributaries
should be made navigable from source
to mouth before any other work is
undertaken and if their recommends
tions have any weight with Congress
the money now being expended on
the harbors of Hawaii would be turn
ed into the Mississippi River and it
would be a decade or more before i'm
| provement on the Islands was resum-
ed. At that only the more important
projects would be taken up and the
lesser harbors would have to wait for
perhaps 25 years.
AS a matter of fact, the National
Congress pays not the slightest heed
to the River and Harbor Congress. It
might truthfully be said that the ac-
lions of the busy bodies composing
the River and Harbor Congress are
deeply resented by United States Sem
ators and Representatives.
