To some, covering beneath the protec-

A FREE PRESS Wall

The Free Press foams at the
mouth because Senator Newlands
and Pittman favor thu Hetch-
Hetchy bill for furnishing San
Francisco with a proper water sup
ply. Its ignorance ofrthe matter is
shown in the charge that it is d
fight between San Francisco and
the State of California. How cau
this be when every congressman
from California voted for the bill
in the House and fought for it.
Senator Pittman is a member Of
the Public Lands committee IF the
senate and has doubtless studied
the question far more than the
Free Press has. He is in excellent
company in supporting the bill as
officers from the engineering corp
of the army visited Yosemite val.
