OAKLAND, May 4.-When the work
ers in the 10 day 100000 Kings

days subscriptions this evening il
caused the immense hand on the giant
Illuminated clock in City Hall square

cally assured
As the campaign grows apace the
enthusiasm wakes warmer and the 200
campaign workers, all members of the
organization. are determined that the
amount will be pledged by midnight

The results have been highly graft
tying. Thus far only the outlying dis
tricts of Oakland. Alameda and Berke-
ley have been canvassed. By tomor-
row the workers will be busy in the
business sections, when it is expected
that many of the larger commercial
institutions and individuals of means

proportions.
In addition to many sums ranging
from SIS and upward secured by the
workers today, II. C. Taft subscribed
$1,000, Sherman, Clay & Co. $500 and
H. c. Capwell company $500
Director General Noel H Jacks will
tomorrow address the Rotary club at
its MONDAY luncheon on the work the

aims are for the future. 1t is likely
that it will be the means of swelling
the subscription list considerably.
At a meeting of the building trades
council last evening Mrs. II. C. Dow
one Of the prominent leaders, secured
more than 500 in small subscriptions
from the members. The friendly RI
valry between the two divisions. one

MAYOR OBJECTS TO
ward PATRIOTISM
Mott Adjures COunciImen to
Work for Whole City In
stead of Sections

OAKLAND. May 4.-CounciImen were
adjured by Mayor Frank K. Mott to
work less for their separate wards and
more for the city as a whole at meet
ing of the board of public works this
morning. Councilman R. c. Vose ap-
peared before the board to secure its
sanction for the city council resolution
ordering electroliers in Twenty third
avenue from east Twelfth street to
east Twenty-seventh.
vose was told that the city lighting
bill for the coming fiscal year would
be so high that the city could i'll af
ford so many electroliers. The mayor
and City Engineer Turner opposed the
placing of many more of the decorative
lights in the streets.
Il think council action in this mat
ter should be mandatory" contended
Vose. I'VE eleven men pass a resolu-
ton to have it annulled by you three
in this board. When the board of pub
lie works asks for an appropriation it
usually gets it,"
You have the wrong point of view,
Mr.. Vose," was the mayors response.
"Councilmen should work less for the
wards they are elected from and more
for the city they serve. 1 am willing
to see e1ectroliers in the business dis
tricts, but 1 am against placing them
in Twenty third avenue, not in the shop
section, but up to the foothills. The
city electrician has informed me that
the municipal street lighting expenses
next year, beginning July 1, will ex-
ceed $12S 600. To put all these electro
liers in Twenty-third avenue would
make an added expense of $2,500."
After further parley. the board left
the matter in the hands of the mayor,
who will tour the avenue with Vose and
report at the next meeting.

To Be Restored to Entry

AS a result of conferences be-
tween the secretary of the interior
and OF agriculture with the presi-
dent, at least four million acres Of
agricultural land within national
forests are to be restored to entry
Approximately 60O,06O acres of
these lands lie in the states
OF Oregon and Washing
ton. The exact definition of the
boundaries of areas to be restored
are not yet fixed. Statements that
the land has already been restored
are in error.
This marks a new deal in the
administration of national forests.
The objections of the people of
Okanogan, Clallum and Jefferson
counties, together with the mighty
protest that has gone up from Col
ofado, Wyoming. Montana and
other states that, despite the letter
OF the law, the forestry service
blocked all their efforts to obtain
agricultural land for settlement
within national forests, apparently
have haeu heard
The lands to be restored are ones
that the forestry bureau itself has
determined are best suited for agri-
culture, and not needed for forestry
purposes. 1t is possible that other
RESERVATIONS will be made later. 1t
Is apparent that real forestry rather
than reckless land grabbing, with
or without excuse, is to be the
moving spirit in the administration
OF the service. Also it is decidedly
apparent that the secretary of agri
culture is to have something to say
about the administration Of the
bureau of which he is presumed To
be the superior.

Why Men Wear Trousers.

No Living man of this age ever de-
liberately chose to adopt trousers. ="
He was forced into them and all other
eccentrcities of dress 10y women. In
the very earliest sartorial experiences
he is swathed in a queer bundle of
incoherent bandages by woman
Later she puts him in cute dresses so
that the neighbors can't tell him from
his little sister. Still later she cuts oil
his curls and puts him in knickerbock-
ers, and he puts on long pants when
she gives the word, not before.
That is all that man has to do with
wearing trousers. Women forced him
into them in the first place, and now
he is afraid to wear anything else for
fear Of making a sensation. Benton
