SACRAMENTO, Cal, Aug. 13.
California has state fair, the
same az Kansas and Iowa and Me-
braska, only it is different. State
fairs are due at time of the year
when the tang of the fall is in the
nostrils, when the woods flame red
and gold on the hillsides and when
the pumpkins glow among the
shocks of corn. That is the time
Iother states have it. They have IL

But crops are ripening here
from Jan. / to Dec. 81 and the ex-

WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-The
Gore investigation is not the first
time that the name of Vice Presi-
dent Sherman has been connected
with a deal involving the plum
dering of Indian lands.
1t is recalled here that in 1901
when Mr.. Sherman. then a con-
gresham from New York, was
chairman of the house committee
on Indian affairs and had influ-
ence at the Indian office, he ap-
peared as the champion of the
Florence Mining Co. of New Ter
sey, which was exerting the
strongest kind of pull here to
get mining monopoly in the Unl-
tab reservation in Utah.
1t was brought out at the time
that another company of New Jer-
sey origin was also fighting for
the control of asphalt and mining
claims in the Uintah reservation.
E. r. Harper, a law partner of
Senator Dick of Ohio, was appoint
ed by congress on u commission to
investigate the question of having
the lands opened for, settlement.
He entered into a plan to induce
the Indians to refuse to sell their
land, but instead to sell their
mining privileges.
The rival company was able to
checkmate the efforts of Harper
and others, including Mr.. Sher-
man, through influence welded
by Senator Curtis of Kansas. Then
the two companies combined I'M
der the Florence Mining Co. name.
The mineral lands of the In
dams aggregated two or three
million acres. The Florence COM
pany offered royalties to the In
dian proprietors of per cent. The
usual royalties are 25 to so per
cent for such privileges.
Henchmen in Utah represented
to the Indians that the Florence
company had the approval of the
federal authorities, and a delega-
ton of Umtah Indians was taken
Ito Washington to influence the
Florence company's chances of

typhoid fever, which has appeared
in the Roseburg company of Ore
gon guards. Private G. r. Kirk
man was taken down with the
disease yesterday. He became in
fected when at home or en- route,
and the officers fear the whole
company and possibly some out
side may have been infected by
the Roseburg company.
Maneuvers have been slightly
interfered with by the fire situa-
ton, but light work for the
guards will be put on today, and
there are more battles coming next
week.

Two more battalions of troops
from American lake maneuvers
were sent east yesterday to assist
in fighting fires. Seven companies
of the Twenty-fifth infantry, with
16 officers, were dispatched to
Spokane, where they will be dis
tributed to points most needing
them for the quenching of forest
fires. Other calls from Washing
ton for soldiers to fight the fires
in the states of Montana, Wash
ington, Oregon and Idaho are ex-
pected today. There are fires in
all of these states, and the re-
