is to them a different person from the
next chief magistrate of the United

on his privacy. This. however, does not
apply to the American tourist or to the

has had SO often to seek seclusion to

any stipulation i'm the permit for the use
of Hetch Hetchy valley that would al
low the city to hold the power privilege

The hearing on San Franciscos right

the possible alternate sources of water
supply for San Francisco. such as the
Sacramento river.
Fisher Imposes Conditions.
Secretary Fisher stated during the
hearing that, while he would not agree
to anything that would lock up the
Hetch Hetchy water power, he would per-
sonally favor giving the water power free
to the city of San Francisco if the city
proposed to develop it Immediately for
municipal purposes.
1T is to the public interest" Secretary
Fisher said. that the hydro-electric
power be developed to take the place
of coal. oil and other fuel If San
Francisco will agree to develop it within
a reasonable period i favor that devel-
opment of water power without charge

soldierly-looking man with a stiff mus
tache and as straight a carriage as if
he had ramrod inside his coat. When
he drove over to the other side of the
harbor to see the governor the other day
he sprang lightly up the steps Of Glen
cove and looked around for the front
door. Now, Glencove is built in de-
ceiving sort of way, so that what loks
like the side door is really the front.

house helplessly and then held con-
sultation with Lady Bullock. She couldn't
see "a door either. So Sir George left her
