1t is furthermore alleged that there
are other sources from which san
Francisco can draw an adequate
water supply.
1t will be seen that there does not
exist on the west slope of the Sierra
and north of the Tuolumne river a
single stream which could be utilized,
as has been SO glibly suggest ted. More
over, If those waters could be utilized
there yet remains the fact that these
very corporations are allied in such a
way that San Francisco would have to
purchase from one Or the other the
power necessary 10 raise these waters
to sufficient elevation to supply all Of
the five upper levels. if not the lower
ones into which the city is naturally
subdivided.
Even the attorney OF the Spring Val
ley water company has pleaded that

ings. Moreover, no protest was raised
when the law opening these reserva-
tions TO fling was proposed. Only
after six-eleyenths of the Hetch Hetchy
valley is owned by san Francisco and
the remaining fve-elevenths vet stand
ing in the ownership of the govern
ment and opened by its own acts to
acquisition and utilization and after
san Francisco has been legally granted
the use of this remainder have pro-
tests been urged.
These protests come from two classes
or sources: First. the Spring Valley
water company, holding a monopoly of
water supply for the city of San Fran
cisco under the crude and III advised
laws Of the early history of the state
Of California, aided by those who have
secured water power rights of enor-
nous value for the development of cleo

in one sided discussions among them
selves have decided that to "the people
of the United States the Hetch Hetchy
valley has been decided in perpetuity
by congress" and that any utilization
thereof, in accordance with the laws
of congress and in accordance with the

north side of the valley there is a

brothers in appropriations.
But Secretary Garfield. after a
statesmanlike study of the entire sit-
uation and having at his command the
skilled and highly trained officers of
the United States geological survey
and the water supply experts of the
government. decided that In consider
ing the reinstated application of the
city and county of San Francisco I do
not need to pass upon the claim that
this is the only practicable and rea-
sonable source of water supply for the
city. II is sufficient that after careful
and competent study the officials OF the
city insist that such is the case. By
granting the application opportunity
will be given for the city by obtainin g
the necessary two-thirds majority vote
TO demonstrate the practical question
as TO whether or not this is the water
supply desired and needed by the resi-
dents of san Franciscof
1t has been alleged that San Fran
cisco should be charged for the power
developed by these stored waters It
is again significant that those urgings
have not been made as regards power

is clear that the opposition of this
monopoly is selfish and that its leading
but misguided allies are the group of
sentimentafists above referred to.
Some few of these have actually seen
the Hetch Hetchy valley; have de-
scribed the beauties of the flowers
growing on the lands owned by San
Francisco, have gone into ecstacies of
delight over the curves and beautiful
sinuosities of Tuolumne river flowing
between green banks owned by San
Francisco. have uttered their protests
against cutting down oak, pine and ce-
dar trees growing upon lands owned
by San Francisco; have intimated that

law IL VIII also be seen that this ac-
tion was not taken without due con-
sideration. Years of examination and
study were devoted to the question by
the trained officers of the geological
survey, and more than a year after
their report had been rendered con-
gress passed the second Of the laws
above quoted This latter law especially
provides for the granting OF rights Of

Such regulations shall provide for

During the years 1857, 1Ses and 1889

Now, the facts are that only to six
elevenths of the floor of the Hetch
Hetchy have any patents whatever by
deeds in perpetuity been passed by the
people of the United States These are
held by San FRANCISCO. San Francisco
also holds the right under the laws
of this country to food the remainder
and use this and her own holdings
for the highest purposes for which they
can be used. The bills before con-
gress were not to grant San Francisco
the right to use the valley, for that
right that city already holds. They
were to effect an exchange of lands
in order TO return to the government
lands to which it desires to recover
title, and to remove the revocabIe na-
ture OF the permit already granted. It
is not, however, probable even If no
exchange be effected that after large
expenditures have been made that any
secretary of the interior would in his
discretion feel justified in considering
the revocation of these permits.
1t is manifest to any student of the
economics of water supply and of de-
yelopHent of electricity by water power
that it is not intended by corporations
who have appropriated or secured most
of the sources of natural wealth, that
a city like San Francisco shall break

way for reservoirs. The reservoirs
were surveyed and pointed out by
scientific bureau Of the government.
Among these is the Hetch Hetchy res
ervofr On the floor of this reservoir
there are meadow lands of something
like 400 to 1900 acres in extent. The
title to more than six-elevenths of this
area had passed from the government
TO private parties prior TO the act Of
February 1, 1890. These patented lands
san Francisco purchased and holds. San
Francisco also holds the right to utilize
the remainder OF the reservoir space.
under the decision Of May II. 1908, OF
the Hon James Rudolph Garfield, sec
retary Of the interior, acting under the
law of February Is, 1901. This latter
right san Francisco holds under a law
of congress directly and distinctly
passed for the purpose of pointing out
to the public at large and making pos
sible the utilization of reservoir spaces
within the limits of the Yosemite na-
tional park, as well as other parks
public lands and reservations named in
the law cited.
It is to be noted that other meadow
lands and other valleys have been filed
upon by private individuals and by cor
porations within the limits of this
reservation, but not one word of pro-
test has been raised against these fil-

and in that of the Merced-some in the
Yosemite valley itself-only one OF
which will be in the least affected by
the use of the lands owned by san
Francisco for a water supply. The
other seven are more than 20 miles dis
tant and six of them are not in the ba-
sin of Tuolumne river.
Another in the May number of the
World Today publishes five pictures of
similar features. The lower portion of
the scenery in one only. namely, the
falls of Hetch Hetchy, will be affected
to a point some so feet below the bot
tom of the lower fall; the falls are
above the highest proposed reservoir.
The others are no more affected by this
utilization of San Francisco's lands and
holdings than win be Central park in
New York or Hyde park in London. Yet,
upon such articles as these public opin-
ion is being formed upon the most err
roneous and unjust basis.
Mr. John Muir describes some of these
endangered features as follows:
