Sacramento, April 2S-A day of
conferences between Secretary Bryan
and Gov. Johnson and members of
the California legislature over propos-
ed anti-alien land laws ended tonight
when the conference adjourned to
await replies to messages sent t.
Washington tonight Dy Mr.. Bryan
The impression prevailed here
when the conference ADJOURNED that
tn resolution Of the majority leaders
previously annouac=J to enact BIZ
specifically debarring "aliens ineligi
bic to citizenship" from owning land
! ii California remained unchanged, al
though Mr.. Br7t1 advised sttonslY
AGAINST such action. Gov. Johnson
indicated this in a brief address to the
conference. He declared CALIFORNIA;
right to. follow the lead Of other
States in framing the land bill was
unquest;oned and said such action
now seeI.ed assured. D
81 have presented the presidents
views as understand them," declared
Mr.. Bryan to the conference just be-
fore it adjourned. Tonight 1 shall
submit to him the further questions
you have asked me, calling attention
to the statutes of Washington and
Arizona and I shall be prepared to-
morrow, hope, to give you his an
swer.''
California in the fullness of her right
as a State may enact right land law
barring Orientals from ownership, but
such action would he against admins
tration policy.
This is the substance of the mes
sage William Jennings Bryan, secre-
tary of State and personal represen-
tative of President Wilson, delivered
today to a secret conference attended
by Gov. Johnson, Lieut.. Gov. Wallace
and the 12O members of the California
Legislature.
Secretary Bryan arrived in Sac
ramento at 6 o'clock this morning.
With his consent plans were laid for
an immediate hearing and shortly af-
ter II o'clock the first session OF
the conference began. Until the
doors OF the assembly chamber were
closed and locked Secretary Bryan re-
fused to give an inkling Of his mes
sage to any one and even at the con-
ference he spoke only after legisla-
tors had explained fully the public de-
mand for alien land legislation that
brought about the present situation.

MEANS SAVING OF MILLIONS
u~tliIzation of What Formerly Has
Been Waste Adds to Wealth Of
- the World.

In these progressive days, when up
to-date manufacturers consider from
an economic point Of view the utliza-
ton Of everything possible in their
raw materials. 1t is interesting to know
the value OF some of these in the
shape Of dust which was formerly
wasted, but is now utilized.
A notable instance may be quoted
in the shape of fue dust in the manu-
facture Of pig iron. This dust is
blown by the blast furnaces into the
tlues by the fierce blast necessary to
generate the heat to manufacture the
pig iron, and is composed of iron ore,
limestone, coke, etc.; in fact, the same
ingredients as make the iron. Hither
to, although thousands of tons of this
have been available and known to
be of value, it has been a waste prod.
uct and dumped in heaps owing to the
difficulty of COMPRISING it without a
binder, but there has been discovered
within the last year or so, a process
Of b%riquetting it, and the result is that
approximately the discovery is worth
$40, 800, 900 yearly to the United States
alone, as merchantable iron is now
being made from such dust.

Hint for the Newly-Weds.

How many mothers instruct their
daughters that they must try to love
their husbands relatives just as well
as they love their own? Very few
and many will assert that no such in
.struction should be given; but some
of US think that it ought. 1t is a safe
thing to do-for the chances are 10000
to one that no girl could ever go
so far as that, try as faithfully as she
might. But she can surely learn to
love her husbands family, and she
will add immensely to his comfort by
so doing. Their ways" are doubtless
very different from hers. Sometimes
they receive her with coldness and
suspicion; but by practice and kind
ness and loving attention she can
usually win them. 1t is her mothers
part to teach her this patience and
kindness before she is married. The
art of being a good daughter-in-law Is
a noble one, and like all other arts
it can, to a considerable extent, be
taught.-Leslie's Weekly.

TELLS ANECD0TE OF P0MBo
How Great South American Poet Told
Distinguished Lady to Kiss
Him.

Mr.. Phanor J.. Elder tells this anec
dote of Pombo, the great South
American poet, in a New York literary
salon presided over by a distinguished
Argentine lady, Pombo had been pre-
sented to her, and she asked him,
with much enthusiasm, who was the
anonymous poetess, the famous Edda,
the Bogotana.
do you really find these verses
worth reading?" asked Pombo.
Worth reading! Verses vibrating
with the deepest passions of a WON
ans soul, SO essentially feminine
verses, too, exhaling the mysticism
the alteration of a Santa Teresa! oh
you men! Who among you could
write such verses?"
"Well,' said Pombo, "Edda is now
in New York, and If you want tc
make her acquaintance"
Speak, mani cried his hostess
impetuously. Where does she live
What's her name? I'll see her tomor
row. l will cover her with kisses!'

Once Upon a Time.

Once upon a time there lived and
fourished in a small city a worthy
man. He was devoted to his native
place; he loved its streets and stones,
its strange odors, its smoke, it's high
rates, its Indifferent water supply, it's
clubs and cafes and everything about
it. Nothing could induce him to leave
it ever for the briefest period. In
vain did the railway companies spread
their holiday arrangements before his
eyes; he returned with the more salts
faction to his favorite seat overlook
ing the central square. And, then, one
day, the king of that country, who was
full of capricious impulses, issued q
decree that no one in this little city
should ever leave it again, under pain
of fearful penalties. And Immediately
u friend began to be consumed with
a longing for trayel.-Punch.

Timber lands are being depleted.
The people of the United States are
using more than three and one-half
times as much timber as is grown. 1t
is evident that, sooner or later, pro-
vision must be made to grow more
timber.
The national government owns and
through the forest service controls
100 national forests averaging more
than 100000 acres each. This is
less than one-third of the forest land
owned by private individuals. The
government forests contain about
one-fourth the timber now standing,
1t is estimated that 15,O00, 900 acres
of these forests are at present unpro-
ductive, although they are capable of
producing tree growth. A
Approximately one-half of the area
now unproductiye will reforest nat
urally II properly protected from fire.
The other half, however, must be ar
~tiicially restocked. Such is the prob
lem confronting the forest service. 1t
is necessary that 1t be solved in or
der that private owners may profit by
the results and experience of the gov.
eminent when they finally CON to
realize that they, too, must do their
share of artificial reforestation to

EDISON DENIES HE'S A GENIUS
Tells Reviser Of Latin Bible "lm
Only Mechanic and Couldn't Do

Thomas A. Edison listened intently
at his home at Llewellyn Park. in
Orange, N. j., as the Abbott Francis
Gasquet, president of the English
Benedictine Monks, unfolded to him
the gigantic task in which the com
mission appointed by Pope Plus X, of
which he is the head, is engaged in
revising the Latin Bible.
The inventor, accounted an agnostic,
had asked the abbott to dinner TO hear
of the work he has undertaken. When
the abbott had finished telling of the
tremendous scope of the task, involv-
ing as it does the minute analysis of
ancient manuscripts wherever they
may be found in Europe, Mr.. Edison
turned to him, saying:
Father Gasquet, l want to tell you
that l wouldn't like your job. It's
more than l could do

growing which will yield the greatest
returns. Timber is a crop, the same
as corn, wheat or oats, but is har-
vested after a long period Of years.
All land will not produce agricultural
crops, and some of it now used for
this purpose will yield greater re
turns if trees are grown on it. Be.
sides, a wood lot is indispensable to 6
farm. Should not the farmer now be-
gin forest planting on a small scale
similar to that which the government
has been and is doing?
Why is a wood lot desirable on a
farm? Sin the first place, farmers use
a great deal of wood in some form or
other. A wood lot will furnish fence
posts in a very few years, and some
~large-sized material may be produced
if a few selected trees are left for a
few more years after the bulk of the
crop is cut. Wood will always re-
main the chief source of fuel.
In many sections of the country
natural gas replaced cordwood until
it gave out. Coal is now largely used,
but will not last forever. Oil cannot
be substituted. Secondly, there are
indirect benefits. If the location is
favorable a wood lot will act as a
windbreak for orchards and buildings

POISONS GET IN FOOD
RESTAURANT KEEPERS SOME
TIMES GIVEN scAREs.
sIunders Which Prove Costly to Pro
duesrs Of Eatabies and Serious
hato Customers, Sometimes Re- Jn
Is suitIngt In Death.

II the proprietor of a restaurant
ever has a nightmare. 1t is to the effect
that some poisonous ingredient has
accidentally found its way into a dish
and that the papers are full OF blood
curdling accounts of the su~ferings n
death of his clients,
About five years ago nearly a o
of people were badly poisoned after
dining in the restaurant Of a well
known West Central hotel in London,
and although the source of the poison
was never accurately traced-all that
was discovered being that it was some
form of ptomaine poisoning-yet to
this day that restaurant has hardly
recovered its former popularity.
More recently a blunder was made
In a London fried fish shop. Engine
oil was, in some extraordinary fash
ion, substituted for the cottonseed
oil which is commonly used for frying
fish. This mistake proved absolutely
fatal to the business, and after a time
the proprietor was forced to close his
doors,
Oddly enough, a very similar Incl
dent has Just come to light In another
large town. On the morning of March
Z last a baker made the alarming dis
covery that the vegetable oil which ne
had used in making his fancy bread
and pastry overnight had been deliv-
cred to him In a barrel which had
been previously used for storing kero-
sen
The moment he heard of the blum
der he rushed off and engaged the
services of six doctors and a dozen
carts. The carts were sent round the
town to retrieve the bad bake, while
the doctors gave their services free
to any customers who had already
| partaken of the poisoned food.
Most readers will remember the
arsenic-in-beer epidemic of 1902. This
was the most extensive poisoning on
record in England. 1t was four months
before the authorities realized what
the matter was, and by that time
there were over a thousand cases In
five counties, and 81 deaths had taken
place.
The source of all the trouble was a
minute quantity of arsenic in the beer
supplied by a Manchester brewer. II
was no fault of the firm, for analysis
of the liquor showed that the arsenic
originally came from glucose which
had been made with impure %sulphurie
acid. 1t was the acid which contained
the arsenic.
In the year following the grea'
arsenic poisoning came the oyster
scare. There we're outbreaks of ty
phoid fever at Winchester and al
Portsmouth. The fever was traced t.
oysters, and the result was that fol
some time oysters were almost un
salable. One big oyster firm which
had been paying $3.50 a week in wages
dropped to $75 a week, and 1t is reck
oned that the oyster merchants
throughout the country must have los
at least $500, 900.

This is the way the forest service
