Department. | | | Although no quorum was present yester- da\ at the mee v\g of the Regents of the niversity of California at the Hopkins ute, President Wheeler was author- ized to announce t a new and most important department. to be known as the department of irrigation, would be or- ganized on March 1 at the great educa- tional institution with Professor Elwood Mead at the head. At present Re is the director in charge of the irrigation inves- tigation of the United States Department of Agriculture. While remaining at the head of this im- | portant work, Professor Mead will make Lis residence at Berkele; fessor of the university and will devate | a portion of each semester to lecturing there. He will lay the foundations of an irrigation department which it is planned 1o develop into one of the most important activities of the university. Professor Mead is at present at Chey- enne. ident Wheeler made the necessary rangements_for securing the s Professor M ) lacks as yet the formal approval of the regents, tacit consent has been given by a majority of them to make his appoint- ment public. Regents Wallace, Foster | and Houghton, the only ones present, said vices of that no objection could be made against | this course. An -important part has been played by | Professor Mead in_advancing the inter- | ests of irrigation. During eleven years of service as Territorfal and then as State Engineer of Wyoming he rescued that State from the confusion into which it had been thrown.by its poor system of | 1rn:m&nn law and established a new sys- tem which serves as a model to other States Professor Mead comes from an old American famiiy and, although but 43 years of age, has won laurels in his chosen profession. He is a native of Patriot, Ind., and graduated from the scientific and agricultural departments of Pardue University and from the civil engineering partment of Towa University. He has held many important public positions. He is not unused to a professorship, as he has a number of Eastern col- leges. Since 189 he has been the irriga- tion expert of the United States Govern- ment. About six weeks voted to lectures field work will be of each term will be de- at Berkeley and then undertaken. President | Wheeler and the regents deem the new department to be of particular value to the State, as water storage and supply and foresfry conditions are at present ab- sorbing topics.

Need of Direct Steamship Line Discussed by Busi- ness Bodies. Aalage & Congressional Committee on Rivers and Earbors Also Invited to Visit the State in the Spring. s The question of a direct line of steamers from San Francisco to Manila was dis- cussed yesterday afterncon at a special | meeting of prominent business men called together by the Board of Trade. The meeting Was a representative one in every respect and those who were present at the gathering are determined | that the vital question of securing and holding the Manila trade shall be propenly solved. The various commercial organi- zations were represénted as follows: Board of Trade—President A, A. Watkins, J. Parsons, Isaac Upham, Sanford Bennett, & Freuchtwanger, Willlam Ciuff, S. Nickel burg, Martin Triest and H. M. Holbroo per of Commerce—R. J. Chapman, W. Meghill and A. Chesebrough. Manufacturers' and_Producers’ Association—A. C. Rulofson, A. Sbarbaro and Edward Everett. Mprchants' Association—Hugo Rothschild, B. §. Benedict, . Cale, A. M. Davis and Lrank J. Syram Merchants' ~ Exchange—W. E. Meghill, Chesebrough and J. Rosenteld San Francisco Produce Exchange—W, Babcock, H. C. Somers and_Horace By special invitation A. Loveland, W. R. Wheeler . D. Woods were also mmmnzmm neRRRRy mumummmmum nene mugmmnmm present. Association of the The Ship Owners’ to send a Pacific Coast was requested delegation, but did not do so. | “President Watkins in calling the meet- ing to order stated that it was for the | purpose of securing a direct steamship | connection between this port and Manila. | Goods were being damaged in tranms- | shipment from Hongkong to Manila and considerable pilfering existed; all _of | which resuited in a serious loss to San Francisco merchants. President Watkins then told how a let- | ter had been sent to the Pacific Mall | Steamship Company early last December, calling the attention of the company to rho matter, but that the only reply re- | ceived was t Mr. Schwerin of the com- New York and on his return 2 ve the subject his attention. Although Mr- Schwerin had returned at of December, no statément had »l\P-l from him. Ru n said he had recently )ken to Mr. Schwerin and that man had informed him that the | Mail “Company would not attend » meeting, not having received an in- vitation to do'so. = Regarding pilfering of goods sent to Manila, Mr. S informed Mr. Rulofson that the steamsh: : ompany was not responsibje for it and that the goods must have been tampered with on the docks at Manila. Mr. Rulof- son cited an instance where 2000 cases of beer had been shipped from San Fran- cisco to M . via Hongkong, and on being_repac at Manila, it was found that 10 per cent of the beer w missing. | The ~)\n.4kv>r had the assurance of Mr. 1 th if the merchan of San the mount of the company “on direct steamers, but ot Parsons of the Del Monte Mills | said that if Tacoma, Seattle and New crk could support a direct line of ships , certainly San Francisco could “We are suffering heavily,” said Mr. | | Parsons, * because we have no direct line {and if we had one it wou.d promptly put an end to the pilfering on the docks at Maniia and during. the reshimpent at Hongkong. The trouble is that San Fran- | cisco has not taken as much interest in the matter as other citieis have. Los An- | | geles_has established a direct coast line and Seattle has the Skaguay trade, us- ing twelve steamers. All the goods | shipped to Skaguay come from San l-‘ran-‘ | eisco.” | . Sanford Bennett read s number of let- | ters he had received from the Oregon and. Oriental Steamship Company of Portland, Oregon, offering to put on two steamers from San Francisco to Manila if sufficient freight was guarantced. The company | quoted a direct rate of $9 per ton, as com- pared to $10 per ton ow charged from San Francisco to Hongkong, which, added 10 §3 3 per ton for reshipment from Hong- | kong to Manila, made’the through rate | A’ general discussion of how to accept | the offer made was then participated in ‘h\ W. R. Wheeler, Horace Davis, Isaac | Upham, Hugo Rothschild and H. D, Love | land. The last named gentleman ta\d that the City.of Peking had recently jeft | this port for the Orient crowded with | Eastern freight and 1ot a pound of San Francisco freight had gone on the vessel, This, he said, was a constant occurrence, ““There is a necessity for the line,” sgid Mr. Loveland, “and we will have no tro | ble in getting it. An offer has been made; | don’t let us sit down and see other cities secure the l{ado which belongs to us.” C. Haswell of the Johnson-Looke Mer- cantile Company said that three steam- ship companies which s firm represented were willing tb put on vVessels direct from San Francisco to Manila, provided enougn freight was guaranteed. The ships wera | | American built and were undt‘r the Amer- ican flag and it would be better to secure American ships for the trade than foreign ones, which, iIf the Philippine Islands were made part of the Union, could not | carry freight between American ports. On motion of Mr. Parsons, a resolution was carried that President Watkins ap- point a committee, to consist of five large exporters, to find out the amount of ! freight which can be secured from San | Francisco for Manila and that the com- | mittee confer with the various steamship | companies in the matter of securing direct shipment between the two ports. “Congressman 8. D. Woods was then | introduced ‘to the meating by President Watkins and recelved a hearty reception. Congressman Woqds cstated that he was present to speak on 4 matter in which Congress needed an object lesson—the needs of California. The appropriations asked for from Congress for river and | harbor improvements in_ California had been turned down and the Representa- tives and Senators irom California had thought that the Committee on Rivers and E\rhnfi should be invited to visit the State and see for itself the needs for the appropriations asked for. An amendment was now before the Seiate on the appro- riation bill and the Californfa delegation fiad thought it important Pnnu}h for the | speaker to come back to Californfa and | | secure invitations for the Committee on Rivers and Harbors to visit the State. Congressman Woods noped that the meat- ing would take some actidn in the mat- ter and, if the committee was invited, that the California_delegation in Wash- ington should be asked to present the fn- vitation to the members of the River and Harbor Committee.: A resolution that tha invitation be ex- tended by the various commercial bodies represented at the ineeting was then | passed and an adjournment was taken.
