ROCKHILL SURE
OF CHINA'SF FAITH
FORMER MINISTER AT PEKING
MAKES STATEMENT
Prior to Going to ST. Petersburg, Dip
Iomat Declares That orlentas
Are Friendly to Uncle
Sam
(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, July 29-W. w.
Rockhill, formerly minister to China,
has returned to this city, preparatory to
leaving for St. Petersburg is ambassa-
dor to Russia, with a story that augurs
well for the future of China and the
friendship of that nation for the United
= states.
During his four years residence in
Peking, which is but a portion of the
time he has spent in the Orient, Mr..
Rockhill has been a close observer of
the situation in China, and returns to
this country believing that China is
progressing toward reforms in govern
mental administration and is making
an earnest effort to develop its vast
natural resources.
At the same time, he points out that
reforms necessarily work slowly, be
cause of the varying conditions
throughout the vast empire, and says
IL will take years before many of the
urgent problems now facing China can
be settled.
Reform Promises Kept
Prospects Of an absolute adherence
10 the reforms pledged by the late en-
peror and empress dowager harmonic
relations with foreigners and friendship
for them, prospects for temporary
Improvement III IHe monetary Slludll'il
a decrease in the use Of opium, deNel-
opment of educational reform, and the
necessity Of American manufacturers
taking a more direct interest in the
trade of this country with China are
among the impressions gained by MI
Rockhill.
"The policy of reform promulgated
by the late emperor and the empress
GoWager some time before their sudden
deaths is being carried out by the
prince regent" Mr. ROckhll said, and
all observers, I think, agree that the
present government will adhere abso-
lutely to the pledges given by them. In
every part OF the country considerable
progress in harmony with the program
of the government is manifest TO the
most casual observer
Considerable emphasis is laid by the
former minister on the consistently
friendly attitude displayed by the Chi
nese toward foreigners of all nationali-
ties, particularly the Americans
Chinese Anxious to Know
During the four years ne had charge
of the American mission in CHINA SAID
Mr.. Rockhfll, but one serious outrage
of missionaries occurred and that was
settled promptly and satisfactorily by
the Chinese government.
China, according to Mr.. Rockhiu, is
willing and also delighted tn see q tre-
mendous increase of the volume OF
American trade.
Mr.. Rockhil commented favorahly
and with evident pleasure upon the
efforts the Chinese are making toward
the education of the masses and Incl
dentaUv referred to the promise of the
government to cxpend a portion of the
Boxer indemnity remitted by the Unit
ed states in the education of Chinese
students by this country He was sure
This would establish a strong bond of
smity between the nations. Americans
are taking bv far the leading part in
the work Of additional progress.

It is significant fact that the fash

GOVERNMENT TO

OWNERS OF TRUCKEE RIVER
MAKE PROFITABLE TURN
Reclamation Service Requires Supply
of Stream in Order to Garry Out
Reclamation Scheme In
California
CBy Associated Press1

SAN FRANCISCO, July 29.-It is un-
derstood here the agreement between
the government and the Truckee River
Genral Electric corporation provides
the reclamation service viii gain con-
troll of water necessary to complete one
of the federal irrigation schemes, and
that the electric company. which is
headed by w. 2. Harmon, will be
given I'm return perpetual rights for
power plants in the vast Lake Tahoe
and Truckee river watersheds.
William Kent a Marin county CAPT
talist, who recently donated a famous
redwood grove to the state, has pro
tested against the exchange and has
attempted to have the matter brought
to the attention of President Taft, Mr..
Kent who claims to have investigated
the subject, believes the beauty of
Lake Tahoe, one of the famous inland
resorts of western America, will be en-
dangered' by the advent of commercial
promoters.
A f. Boynton. secretary Of the
Truckee River General Electric COM
pany, stated today he had signed a
contract, since forwarded to Washing
ton for signature by the officers of the
reclamation service. whereby the syndi-
cate is given the right to install power
plants in any portion Of the Lake
Tahoe watershed.
Inspects Watershed
A. w. Maltby, an expert of the feder-
al forestry service. has made an in
spection of the watershed and declares
the contract interferes in no manner
with the forest reserves surrounding
the lake.
According to Maltby, the govern
ment in return for the concession
made. is to be given the right to con
troll the flow of the Truckee river into
the main channel Of the Truckee-
Carson government irrigation project.
The electric company owns all the
land at the head Of the Truckee. which
is the only outlet to the lake, and Sec
retary Boynton, discussing the negotia-
tions to which he has been party,
said:
"The government has expended S4,-
100000 on the irrigation project, which
will ultimately reclaim 100000 acres of
land. but the government does not con-
troll the dam site, and consequently Is
not i'm position to regulate the flow of
water necessary for purposes of irriga-
ton.
by the terms Of this contract the
reclamation service will control the
dam site. and Mr. Harmon and his
associates are obtaining privileges they
deem of value to them"
J. is understood the entire matter is
still subject to the consideration of the
secretary of the interior

Lonoaore sauare wins

For a time it seemed that Fitth ave,
nue would become the great hotel
street OF New York. and it still con-
tains many famous hosteries, but dur
ing the past few years the pendulum OF
hotel development has swung back
toward upper Broadway and has cen
tered at Longacre square. one reason
for this doubtless is the fact that no
less than twenty of the leading thea
ters as well as a score of fashionable
restaurants, are located within
