THO MILLION ACRES
MORE ARE NEEDED

Surveyor General Chas. Decay is
now hard at work 'on his ali n ial
report which will soon be Gem
pleted and will be filed with the
governor. 1t will be placed in
pamphlet form at the State Print
ing Office and it will be one of The
best read documents sent out by

considerable space to the workings
Ct the Carey Reclamation Act in
this state.
In conversati IN with represent
alive of this paper We, terday he
stated: prior to assuming charge
of the Office in 1908 very little
feffort had been made and nothing
accomplished toward the reclama-
ton of the arid lands of the state
under this act. At the last
legislature an act was passed at
my instigation which authorized
the state through this office, to-
deal with companies and corpora
tons who desired to promote such
reclamation projects in this state.
Under the Carey Act which
was passed by congress in 1894, one
million acres of desert land was
donated to the state for reclama-
tion purposes. Since October 1909,
twenty five companies and corpora
tlons have filed lists for segregation
in the State Land Office aggregat-
ing 999. 869.82 acres of land leav
ing only 100 acres let in the one
million grant. Of this amount
segregated. the United States
government has so far approved of
ll9,535.54 acres. There is now
pending before the department
for approval a total of 52,S24.
acres which undoubtedly will be
approved and patents granted
Preliminary applications for $685.
49l.45 have been made in the State
Land Office under a temporary
reservation, pending the completion
of plans and applications for
segregation in the United States
Land Office During the past week
applications have been received from
five different companies amounting
to 100000 acres.
This means family or a set
tier on evry one hundred and sixty
acres of land and this within the
next five years and the results
derived to the state from this
source cannot be estimated as it
will mean the building w IF
populous communities where now
is only barren waste. Without a
dpubt this act is one of the best
things that ever took place within
the state.
1t will be necessary to call upon
the next congress for a donation
of one or two million more acres
of land to be donated to the state
under the Carey Act as the demand
for the land is so great that we
have not land enough at our
disposal to meet the demand"
Mr. Deadly showed us in his office
the contracts made with the
government for the land which
was issued under the Carey Act.
The documents bear the signature
of Secretary IF the Interior r. A..
Ballinger, G. L. Deadly, the State
Land Regiser, and of VIM. H. Taft,
the president of the United States
and is an ironclad agreement

c1eon In Honor of Leaders of
Religious Auxiliary

ing the Christian Endeavorers in this

welcome yesterday at luncheon
given by the Church Federation club

classed the speakers with himself as
former intimate friends in the east.
DIR. Clarke spoke enthusiastically OF
the conditions of the work of the
Christian Endeavor union in this and
other countries.
William Shaw, speaking from the
standpoint of the layman, said:
'eThere is much for young men and
women to do in Christian Endeavor
work. We have not had much use for
the girls who play cards and dance
until 3 o'clock in the morning, but we
have places for girls who have time
to work for the upbuilding of the good
cause of the Christian Endeavor union.
"Time was when preachers seemed
to ignore the present auxiliary work
of the churches. But it is now ac-
knowledged that such helps as the
Christian Endeavor union are meeting
the requirements necessary for the
great achievements attained"
The Los Angeles Christian Endeavor
union will hold a rally and mass
meeting this evening in the First Con
Rregational church, at which Mr.. Shaw
will be the principal speaker. DR..
Clarke left last night for the north.

out of a previous round of shots, the

% years of age, is being searched for
by Sheriff Hammel and his deputies
as the man who shot and killed the
ranchman, William Moss, near Piu-
mas winery, six miles from Whittier,

against Manriques was made by his

accessory probably will be filed today.

to be a full confession of the affair to
Sheriff Hammel and Deputy Sheriff
Martin Aguirre stating he and his
brother had been in the winery with
Moss and that they had taken excep-

rancher with reference to their race.
Moss left the winery some time after
the two men, and they attacked him,
Lee Manriques saying he struck the
rancher on the back with bottle
my brother pulled his revolver and
I told him not to shoot, but he fired
a bullet through Moss heart" said
the prisoner.

sensation a fortnight ago by repre-
senting that she was the mother of
quadruplets, and greater sensation
a few days later when it was learned
the children were gathered through
Mrs. Catherine Smith from different
parts of the city, was again in Judge
Wilburs court yesterday to fight for
the custody of two little girls and
boy, who have been in her home since

humane society, officers of which had
filed a petition that they be removed
from her home on the ground that she
was an unfit person to care for them

stories of a number of neighbors VINO
detailed what they observed during
frequent calls at the Wilson home on
East Forty ninth street, and the tes-
timony of Mrs. Wilson and the little
girls, ordered the children placed in
Mrs. Wilson's care as dependents. This
action was deemed necessary, as the
parentage of the children could not
be established.
Mrs. Wilson'S attorney, John Boards
ley, filed a petition yesterday asking
the superior court to grant her request
to legally adopt the children, and
nearing Oh ILLS PCllliOh WIZ W AAe'A 80

Il see no reason why Mrs. Wilson
should not be permitted to adopt the
children" Judge Wilbur. said, as he
closed the proceedings.
Mrs. Wilson told the court the chill
dren were given to her in Chicago and
that she knew nothing about their
parentage. II love them more than
my life," she said, and the children,
clinging around her and at times halt
ing her speech with kisses, apparently
reciprocated her feeling.
Several women testified that Mrs.
Wilson was harsh in her treatment of
the children, one neiShbor stating she
slapped their faces; another thats she
saw dirt in their ears" while third
said she heard Mrs. Wilson call them
"rascals."

HAS TO BORROW CARFARE
Left Wallet in Trousers Pocket al
Washington When He Answered
Hurry Call from Constituents

ST. LOUIS, Feb. Limited States
Senator Gore of Oklahoma arrived in
st. Louis last night in a state of great
financial embarrassment. In fact, he
was compelled to borrow money of a
stranger on the train to pay his fare
from Washington to St. Louis.
His predicament came about, he ad-
mitted to friends who heard his ap-
peal for a loan in this city, because
he boasts two pairs of pants. One he
had on; the other, with his wallet in
the hip pocket, occupies the post of
honor in the senator's boudoir at the
capital.
Summoned to Oklahoma by an ur-
gent message Saturday night, he has
tily donned the trousers in which he
likes to appear before his constitu-
ents and hurried to the train. When
the conductor came along he found no
wallet and bat for a kindly stranger
the senator would have been COM
PEELED to walk.
Former Governor Francis and other
Democrats came to his rescue when
he arrived here, and he was able to
continue his journey later in the
evening.

wanted to accept it, as it would take
him to Inyo county most of the time
Williamson has been offered a much

DIR Hammond testified that she gave
Brown a check for the $500 January D,
instructing him to purchase Missouri
Pacific stock. The certificates were TO
be delivered within thirty days, she
said, but UP to the present time they
have not been produced.
It was suggested by Brown, said Dr.
Hammond, that the transaction be
made through him with the firm OF
Logan & Bryan, as a larger number Oh
shares could be purchased for the mon
ey in this way.
'I agreed to this" said the witness,
"because he told me he, with Logan ~
Bryan, had Joined five or six million
aires in forming a pool for the purchase
OF MISSOURI GdClllC SlpChs GlAAe CAAe'N -
stock, which was then quoted at 69,
would go to 100 within few weeks.
A month later, when the certificates
were not forthcoming, DR.. Hammond
said she wanted to close out the stock,
but testified she was told by Brown
that such a course would be foolish, as
there already had been an advance OF
$8 a share.
when I became persistent in my de-
mands for O settlement" she said, he
told me he was having trouble with
the Japanese, and that Logan & Bryan
had become jealous of him and refused
