JOHNNIE MUIR'S POSTAGE
BILL

The people of San Francisco may
not know it, but they ought to take
an interest in John Muir's postage
bill.
The thrifty, canny Scot, judging by
the number of his letters to the
newspapers, and the number of
newspapers from Maine to Flor
ida. from New York to Omaha,
which have printed his letters, must
be conducting press bureau on a
scale equal to that of modern three
ring circus. And-Hoot mon! do ye
ken Johnnie is footing all the bills?
There, there, now, don't ye get mad
with Johnnie; he simply can't stand
San Francisco and doesn't want it to
have water enough to wash itself. at
least, not from Hetch Hetchy.--
God bless the duke of Argyle, where's
yon scratching post for johnnie
Isna it a shine to poke fun at puir
Johnnie? He is so sure San Fran
cisco is a sink of iniquity and a
den of thieves. each. one bent on steal
ing a bit of the Hetch Hetchy.-Has
ony one a haggis for Johnnie2 A
Sleeps stomach, you know, stuffed
wi bonnie Scotch oats. Gle him yin,
gin We git it He may play with that,
and not Hetch Hetchy.
All the misinformation with which
John Muir is filling the eastern press
is about as accurate as the one state
ment he repeats with doddering in
anity that San Francisco, if it gets
the Hetch Hetchy valley for reser-
voir, will thus be tdepriving 100000
of people of one of their most price
;dess possessions for the sake of
saving San Francisco dollars"
If John Muir were not so old and
had not shown such single purposed
devotion to nature in his writings
(paid for at current magazine rates.,
he would deserve TO be spanked, no
more, no less That punishment
would just about suit the mischievous
character of his work.
John Muir simply has an obsession
on the subject of Hetch Hetchy, which
Is as much of fixed idea with him as
the itch used to be a fixed fact with
some of his forbears in the eighteenth
century. But as he gets away with his
dope in the eastern press and has
them all bowling about the robbery
of the 100000 by the 100000 here,
it is time that some one bawled him
out for what he is-a literary hasbeen
who is neither stating the truth nor
the facts, They are contained in the
report of the advisory board of army
engineers, out of which he garbles a
paragraph to make it appear that they
support his case, when they do not

How many rural communities can
make the financial showing of the
Livermore valley after two bad crop
years? The resources of the local
banks, according to their sworn state

with the fact that there are very few
