WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-Foiiowing i.
4 copy of a letter written by Secretary
If the Interior Garfield to John Muir o.
san Francisco, in reply to statements
made by Muir regarding the Hetcf
9etchy valley.
January 21, 1909.
My Dear Muir:
l have just received copy of
circular entitled Save the Hetch
Hetchy Valley" signed by the fol-
lowing:
John Muir, president of the Cali
fornia Sierra club: ]. n. Leconte, E.
T. Parsons. William F. Bade, Har
riet Monroe; George A. Dorsey,
president Chicago geographical so
eiety; Frederick Greedy, president
Chicago playground association;
Alex NJ Wilson of the Saturday
walking club; Dwight H. Perkins,
William s. Monroe, Graham r. Tay-
lor.
Surely this must have been done
without your consent, for there are
paragraphs in the circular which
are fragrant misstatements of fact.
The paragraphs are as follows:
Not only do the San Francisco
grantees propose to destroy the val
ley as a pleasure ground, but to ex-
clude the public, on the preteXt of
typhoid contamination, from the en-
tire Tuolumne watershed by far the
finer half of the Yosemite national
park"
The public is not excluded from
the entire Tuolumne watershed, but
that area would be used by the
public subject to such regulations
as would prevent the contamination
of the water supply. So far as this
is concerned, similar regulations
must be enforced whether there be
a reservoir or not 1t is simply
question of degree of use of the
water and probably contamination.
The grant abandons this enor-
nous water power, gives it away to
the city and probably to predatory
private interests, instead of using
the revenue for park purposes.
The terms of the grant are<Speclfic
and absolutely prevent any .tpreda-
tory private interests" from acquir-
ing the citys rights. The reason
that no charge is made is that the
permit runs TO the city, and the
federal government never makes
charge for such public use. The
city of Los Angeles obtained from
congress very much broader
grant than this. and, of course,
without charge.
I inclose a marked copy Of my
decision upon the application of the
city of San Francisco for the
Hetch Hetchy valley and Lake
Eleanor sites.
The argument advanced regard
ing revenues seems to me rather
curious, for certainly l do not un-
derstand that it is your desire to
have private corporations use the
Hetch Hetchy site for the develop
ment of power, even If such use
should yield a revenue.
Mr. Pinchot, as you know, mas
given this matter the most careful
consideration and is in full accord
with my action in granting the
right to the city. Very truly yours,
LANES RUDOLPH GARFIELD.

dent Taft's appointment of Prof Glas
son, of the chair of economics at Trim.
ity College, as Census Supervisor in
the Fifth District, has aroused a bitter
protest from the Republican organiza.
ton. The district was represented in
the last Congress by a Democrat, the
present Gov. Kitchin. At the last
election John Motley Morehead, a Re
publican, was chosen to succeed him.
Naturally, the Republicans expected
the President to hand out the census
plum to an organization man. Prof
Glasson, who got the place, is said to
be Republican, but Secretary Bran
ham, of the Republican County Execu-
tive Committee, voiced the sentiment
of the organization, it is stated, in
the following statement issued Tues
day night:
I'VE were voting the Republican
ticket when it was considered a dis
grace to do so. Yet a Massachusetts

worthy men worked hard for. Two
