The growing of medicinal herbs is
a very considerable industry in Eng
land, where Their are many large
herb farms. Among the herbs chiefly
grown are rue, NORWOOD, comfrey,
horehound, peppermint, rosemary
and lavender. The English oils of
lavender and peppermint are parti-
cularly famous, bringing from two
to five times as much as the same
oils produced in other countries.
Street sale of little punches of laven-
der, particularly in London, has con-
sumed a considerable part of the an
nual supply, but this year it is re-
ported that there will be an ample

miniStratiOn measure. How these
signed statements, intended to inf1u-
ence the action of members of this
body on a bill of grave Importance,
were obtained, or by whom; why
they were put out in this form, or
how much the signers of them knew
about the facts or the merits of the
bill, have not been disclosed, but I
take it for granted that their use
in that way was authorized by the
sfgners Of them. The owner and
publisher of this same newspaper
brought his attorneys and emissaries
here from New York and Chicago
and erphaps other places, to labor
with Senators over whom they were
supposed to have influence to secure
their support of the bill.
6. Ex-Federa1 officers were sup
porting the bill, not on it's merits
but because it's passage would be a
precedent for Federal encroachment
on the rights of the States in the
matter of controlling the distribu-
ton, sale, and use Of water and cleo
trio power. This purpose was openly
avOWed. These men were willing to
sacrifice the rights of the people of
and homes to establish a pernicious
precedent that might lead to further
violations of the rights of the States
T. On the other hand, members
of this body who had heretofore
stood for the rights of the States
in this respect and who had in other
instances voted and spoken against
bills of the kind, but not so obnox-
ious in that particular as this one,
both spoke and voted for this bill,
containing the very same objectiona-
BILE provisions that they had so vehe-
mently combated on previous occa-
siOns.
8. The conditions demand a full
and unbiased investigation of the
needs of both San Francisco and the
landowners of the San Joaquin Val
ley, that justice may be done.
g. The National Government holds
the Yosemite National Park, of
which Hetch Hetchy is a part, in
trust for the use of the whole peo-
pie as a public park and can not in
right or justice commit it or any
part of it to other uses, and parti-
cularly to commercial purposes.
w uCII 1Go0 Cdu CLS GON6iAuISuI justly
or reasonably make it's control Of
this or any other park the means of
making money by selling rights in
it to impound water or generate
power.
10. The grant was made to &c
cities, none of which except San
Francisco have any rights in the
waters of the stream and none of
which are willing to accept or share
in the benefits of the grant.
II. The grant is for privileges that
will enable San Francisco to store
ten times as much water as she
needs or will need for a hundred
years, and to generate many times
the amount of electric power she
will need for use within that time.
10. The fact having been clearly
shown and not disputed by anyone
having knowledge of the facts that
San Francisco could secure all the
water she needed or would need for
a century from other sources at
reasonable cost, as compared with
Hetch HetChy, it was a palpable and
unjustifiable breach of trust for the
National Government to permit
Yosemite Park to be used for a
reservoir site.

it's introduction.
The bill (S. 3839) to repeal an act
entitled can act granting to the city
and county of San Francisco certain
rights of way in, over, and through
certain public lands, the Yosemite
National Park, and Stanislaus Ma
tional Forest, and certain lands in
the Yosemite National Park, the
Stanislaus National Forest, and the
public lands in the State Of Ca1ifor-
MIA, and for other purposes" ap-
proved December 10, 1913, and to
revoke the grant made thereby, was
read the first time by it's title and
the second time at length, as fol-
lows:
Be it enacted, ETC., That an act
entitled "An act granting to the city
and county of San Francisco certain
rights of way in, over, and through
certain public lands, the Yosemite
National Park, and Stanislaus Ma
tiOnal Forest, and certain lands in
the Yosemite National Park, the
Stanislaus National Forest, and the
public lands in the State of Califor-
MIA, and for other purposes" ap-
proved December 10, 1913, be, and
the same is hereby, repealed, and
the grant thereby made to the city
and county of San Francisco for the
benefit of said city and county and
other cities be, and the same is here
by. revoked and declared of no eff
feet
Mr.. Works. Mr.. President, the
Introduction of this bill at so early
date to revoke the grant made by
Congress to San Francisco needs
some explanation. 1t is done for the
following reasons, besides others
that might be mentioned:
l. The bill granting the right of
way was passed without any ade-
quate investigation and under a COM
plete misunderstanding and misap-
prehension of the facts.
2. The claims made, and which
undoubtedly Influenced Members of
Congress in both Houses to support
the bill, that San Francisco was i'm
mediately in need of more water and
that she could not obtain an ade-
Quate supply of water from any 9TH
er source than Hetch Hetchy, were
not supported by any evidence, were
untrue, and clearly dSproved by the
evidence of every engineer who in
vestigated these questions on both
sides of the controversy.
g. The claims made that the bill
made ample provision for the land
owners and that there was sufficient
water in the TuOlumne River to sup
ply both San Francisco and the San
Joaquin Valley lands were equally
unfOunded.
4 That the exercise of the privi-
leges of the. grant by San Francisco
will leave at least 100000 acres of
land wonderfully fertile with irri-
cation barren and practically worth
less.
s. The passage of the bill making
this important grant was procured
by questionable means that should
of themselves induce Congress to re-
woke the grant:
(a) 1t was supported by one of
the most powerful and insidious lob
bies ever assembled in support Of
any bill in Congress.
OBJ That lobby deceived and mis-
led Members of Congress by misrep-
reservations and false statements,
upon which they relied and without
which the bill never could have
passed.

On last Monday morning Mrs.

accident which came very near
being fatal. While passing
through the barn yard alone,
and as she approached the barn

dashing out of the barn and ran
over her. knocking her down
and bruising her seriously. She
was unconscious and without
help for an hour or more, her
husband being at work in town
at the time.
The encouraging news comes
today that she is recovering

there are no serious internal
bruises and that she willsoo3 he

Congressman Adamson of

back stairway of retreat, by de-

Baltimore platform in favor OF
discriminating in favor of A
merican ships was !" s ip p e d
over" on the platform COM

Walsh of Montana, who pointed
out that he and Secretary Bryan
and Senator O'Gorman, as well
as other party leaders, knew just
what they were doing when this
plank was put into the platform.
The President maintains that
our policy discriminating against
foreign ships cannot be carried
out with honor in view of our
treaty arrangements w j t h
Great Britain. The issue ap-
pears likely to be squarely met,
