the conservation and forestry service

saying that Roosevelt might think he
was Lord" He denied this but the
reporter declared he quoted correctly.
There is a report that Taft has de-
termined to accept McHarg's resigna-
ton rendered some time ago.

ENGINEERS PREPARE
FOR BIG EXHIBITION
Annual Convention Will Be

Three hundred skilled workmen and
machinery experts are making prepa-
rations for the sixth annual convention
and fair of the national association
of stationary engineers of California.
which will be opened tomorrow night
at the Auditorium pavilion in Fillmore
street and bids fair to surpass any
similar exhibition ever given in the
United States by a state organization
Under the directions of P. E. Enner,
chairman of the committee on arrange
ments. all kinds of modern machinery
and engines are being installed in
readiness for Mayor Taylor TO touch
the button which will turn on thou
sands of electric lights and give the
signal for the opening of the fair. More
than 100 machinery houses have Sc
cured space
The convention will be opened at
o'clock Monday night by Mayor Tay-
lor in the Auditorium annex, and an
adjournment will be taken Immediately
TO the pavilion, where the city's chief
executive will deliver his formal ad-
dress. Following the mayor on the

Fred j. Fisher president of the ma
tional organization, and III. ID. Sayilles
president of the California branch.
The convention will last three days.
but the fair will be in progress for a

THOUSANDS ON THE
WAY TO CALIFORNIA
Within Two Months Over
10000 People Have Left the
East for This Coast

Any one who has read the figures
given by the railroads showing the
number of people who have been com
ing west this spring can not help but
be impressed with the lack of avail
able residential property close 10 san
Francisco. Within 60 days over 10000
people left their eastern homes to seek
permanent locations along the Pacific
coast.
Furthermore. great proportion of
these newcomers constitute business
and professional men seeking city To-
cations, all of which tends to increase
the demand for all kinds of properties
Naturally San Francisco, of all coast
cities, enjoys the bulk OF the perma-
nent benefits from this influx of popu-
lation.
The average citizen has no concep-
ton OF the tremendous influence this
western movement Will have upon
property values during the next 10
years" said J. r. Howell of Baldwin
& Howell. In Los Angeles they have
raised valuations from 100 per cent to
800 per cent during the last 10 years,
and now that land down there has
reached the zenith of valuation they
are turning TO other sections of the
state TOT investment Naturally they
come TO San Francisco, and already
hundreds of inquiries are being made
for peninsula residential sites.
Never in our history have we been
so sanguine in regard to the safety
of peninsula investments" continued
Howell. And it looks right now as
if fortunes will be made in and around
San Mateo, Burlingame and Redwood
City. Land that is now selling at $40
and SO a front foot at San Mateo
should double or even treble in value
in a few years if we are TO take south
ern California's experience with east
ern people as a criterion, and it looks
as if we were going to repeat his
tory all right.
Why. in Hayward park, next to the
Peninsula hotel, at San Mateo, we have
already seen values jump.
There is no doubt that those who are
fortunate enough to secure at present
prices few choice residential lots in
the better neighborhoods down the
peninsula will make a great deal of
money. People who come to California
TO live come to enjoy themselves and
are going to pay us any fair price we
ask. providing we possess something
that is actually gilt edge
