THE RE-D|sTR|CT|AG
OF CALIFORNIA
An Anticipation Of Adoption of the
Crumpacker Resolution.

Sacramento. Cal. March 10-The
plan fer a congressional reapportion-
ment drafted in the assembly by the
reapportionment committee was APP
proved by that committee tonight and
will be reported to the assembly to-
morrow. The scheme which is en-
bodied in the committee bill divides
the state into eleven congressional
districts. on the assumption that the
Crumpacker resolution apportioning
one congressman for every 211,0O0
population will be passed at the spe-
cial session of congress.
Los Angeles county gets one addi-
tional congressman. Alameda county,
which is made a separate district, gets
one and San Francisco and san Mateo
share the third between them, these
two counties being thrown together
to form the fifth and sixth districts
Other changes proposed are sweep
ing. The congressional map is al
tered in its general aspects as To Del
Norte and Los Angeles. The general
plan followed was to redistrict the
state according to natural lines, and
according to mountain. valley and
coast divisions.

four months for 10000 men Twenty
thousand troops are expected 10 mob
llize here but it is thought that half
that number will be detailed elsewhere
along the border after a practice in

IS generally taken as proof that the

believe that they will see real service.
Heavy supplies of food and the absence
OF blank ammunition form the basis
for that belief
When the Seventeenth infantry left
Fort Mcpherson the men jumped at
this conclusion and fairly tore the roof
off the barracks with cheers The trip
here was made in twenty four hours
