SACRAMENTO, Oct. 4.-After
one of the longest jumps on
his trip, travelling for 25 hours
through Oregon and northern Cali
fornia, the president arrived tonight
at O'Clock, to remain until A to-
morning, when he will pro-
ceed to Oakland and San Francisco
During his visit here Taft was en-
tertained at dinner, taken autoing
through the city, and made an ad-
dress at the state capitol grounds.
The principal topic of his address
was conservation of the natural re-
sources.
The president thoroughly enjoyed
the day on the train He read a lit
tie, lounged about the car, and
played friendly game of bridge
with members of the party. Dur
ing the five or six hours that Mount
Shasta was in sight he admired that
towering peak in all the changing
aspects that the winding railroad
brought into view. Shasta is the
first snow covered mountain the
president had seen on the trip, the
mountains of Colorado and Wash
ington being hidden by clouds on
the days he visited those states.
After spending tomorrow in San
Francisco, Oakland and Berkeley,
the president heads for the Yosem-
ite Valley and is looking forward
to that feature of the trip with the
greatest of pleasure. The president
was welcomed to California at Red
Bluff by Governor Gillett, Lieuten-
ant Governor Porter, Senator Per-
kins, former Secretary of the Navy
Victor Metcalf, M. H. De Young OF
San Francisco, and other members
of the committee, who had gatherei i
from different sections of the state.
Members of the San Francisco COM
mittee represented both the graft
prosecution supporters and the anti
graft prosecution faction.

Beekman Winthrop, assistant Sec
retary of the navy, was also a
guest. He devoted his remarks %
the ship subsidy as it affects the
navy. He said the navy department
was anxious to expand the merchant
marine in every possible way, as
the navy had to depend upon the
speed and number of ships in the
merchant marine in time of war, as
emergency coal shipments are neces-
sary, as the movements of the At
lantic fleet have demonstrated. The
navy department is throwing all the
business it. can to American ships,
he declared.
