HILE public attention is diverted to the W meat trust and the packers’ merger, another phase of the beef supply is less thought of. This is the decline of that supply, as the forage on the public range disappears. The first symptom of the progressive destruction of the forage was tt which by law is free to all. It was declared by a stockman in Colorado that in this strife the homi- cides number five hundred a year. He said that only the great battles are noted and get into the news- papers, while hundreds of homicides committed in the same sort of strife go without mention. If this be true, and the number and ferocity of the great | battles indicate the number of smaller affairs, this is the most fatal season in the history of the range. War began late in the winter and there were numer- ous fatal encounters in Colorado especially between sheep and cattle men. It is proved by experience that the forage disappears faster and reproduction is more completely sheep than by cattle. Sheep graze closer and their habit of flocking and feedipg close together causes | the tramping out of the/roots of such grasses as spread by the roots as well as by seed. Cattle feed separately and even on their march to water the ground and its cover in better condition than sheep. It is an interesting fact that instinct guided the buffalo to preserve the forage. The fine and nutri- tious buffalo grass, one of the best of the natural grasses of the range, prropagates rapidly by the roots. A buffalo herd always went from its grazing ground to water in single file, so that only a narrow strip was tramped out, and the meadows were preserved without loss of their feeding capacity. Since the buffalo disappeared and the public range, free to all, has been occupied by herds and flocks, no care whatever has been taken of it, and its forage is 80g destroyed at the rate of five million acres per vear. This destruction of forage is reflected in the flecline of the supply of range cattle, which in five years ending in 1901 amounted to 61 per cent, show- ing that only 39 per cent of the potency of the range remained. Under such circumstances, it is no wonder that the contest for what is left takes on a form of greater violence than ever. Since the 30th of June, about one month, there have been encounters which much property was destroyed. On June 30, the settlers in the north end of ‘Grant County, Oregon, armed with Winchesters, sur- rounded all the large herds of sheep on the range and killed them all. In Bear Valley in the same State, the settlers shot all the range sheep, and killed the teams and pack horses of the herders and their dogs. Two men were also shot. Near Black Canyon, in the same State, masked Lorsemen held up the herders znd killed all their sheep. A news dispatch from Pendleton says that in addition to these larger ex- ploits shooting affrays between stockmen are of daily occurrence, in the strife for occupancy of the public range which belongs to one as much as to another. At Lander, Wyoming, on July 24, a band of one hundred and fifty men, masked and mounted, killed the herders of several thousand sheep and slaugh- tered all the animals. In addition to the several thousand sheep slaughtered, 63,000 sheep were left without herders or dogs, and scattered off the range into the barren mountains, where they soon starved to death, or were destroyed by wild animals. July 28, several thousand sheep were slaughtered by riflemen on the range south of Pendleton, Oregon. The attacking party appeared in the evening dusk, and after driving the herders off killed the herds. On the same day at Grand Junction, Colorado, twelve masked men attacked a valuable herd of Angora goats and killed five hundred of them. The owner, Mrs. Irving, had six hundred more on another part of the range and next day was notified that they would also be killed, if they were not removed from the Pinon Mesa. On August 2, a Mexican sheep- herder, at Granada, Colerado, was murdered, his body mutilated and his sheep killed. This is the bloody record of one month. Is it not about time to haye some law of the range that will stop this discred- itable and savage vioience, and at the same time pro- tect the forage from destruction and make the meat supply from the range more abundant and per- manent? leave in —— The summer has been so cool in the East this year that the summer resorts have had to lower prices to fit the temperature, battle for possession of the range, | and Wyoming, | destroyed by | THE EVIDENCE. offense. plenty of occupation. it they are unfit for their offices. will be done about it?

It has been be- lieved that the manufacturers and dealers in food products are as a class opposed to the regulation of the :lrade by statute, but it now appears they are willing to accept a Federal law for the sake of getting rid of the coniusion caused by the diver‘ laws of the States. The evils resulting from the variety of State laws | are said to be sufficiently grave to seriously interfere | with the industry. A report of the proceedings of the | meeting states that the discussion on that subject | brought out the fact that the manufacturer is hampered on every hand whenever he wishes to send goods out of his own State. In the matter of labels, | for instance, there is absolutely no uniformity. A | package sent from Wheeling, W. Va., through Ohio | and Penmsylvania must bear labels conforming to the | requirements of each of those States. Ohio laws de- mand that the label shall state just what percentage of ingredients the contents of the package contain. Pennsylvania, on the other hand, in the case, for instance, of a jam which is not pure fruit and sugar, requires simply that the package be labeled “com- pound jam.” Illinois wants it called “imitation jam,” while Minnesota demands that it shall be marked “mixed and adulterated jam.” Such a diversity of statutory requirements naturally results in confusion and in annoyance to the trade, and as a consequence there has developed a strong sentiment in favor of Federal legislation. It is con- ceded that some sort of statutory legislation will have to be enacted, and since that is so, it is clearly better for the trade to have a uniform law covering the whole country than a number of diverse statutes vary- ing with State lines and in some respects almost con- tradictory. | Another interesting feature of the proceedings was the discussion concerning the comparative healthful- |ness of the various kinds of preservatives which science has placed at the service of the trade. On that question it appéars the association is likely to { come into conflict with the United States officials who are now investigating the effects of chemical preservatives. Members of the association are re- ported to have asserted that chemical preservatives are necessary; that the use of salicylic acid has long ago been abandoned and that its place has been taken by other preservatives that are harmless. That issue of course is one that will have to be left to the decision of the Government chemists who are even now carrying on investigations. A curious phase of the subject is found in the statement of one of the leaders of the associdtion that the main difficulty in the way of obtaining a Federal pure food law is that the people are indifferent to the subject. He is quoted as saying: “The average Congressman does not take much interest in food legislation because he feels that | the people at home do not demand it. Any one who can show us a way to stir up the people will take a load off our minds.” It is not easy to understand why the people should be indifferent to a subject of this kind. Every con- sumer has an interest in obtaining pure food; and the farmers, winemakers, fruit growers and olive growers have certainly a keen interest in a measure designed to protect them from the fraudulent competition of manufacturers of sophisticated or adulterated articles sold in the market as genuine jams, jellies, preserves, wines and oils. The luck with which a bogus Baron escaped prose- cution in this city for his misdeeds is a fair indication that there are still among us many who have a reverential consideration for that part of the species which insists that when it is puncttired it bleeds blue. —_— & Some of the experts in dear old England are firmly convinced that in the protection from fire in cities we are sadly deficient in precaution. This opinion should fortify us anew in the efficiency of what we have. Kipling is having -trouble with the public near his English country home. This appears to be nothing more than tit for tat. The public has had trouble long enough with him to be justified in fighting back. In San Francisco perhaps the most unreasonable and unthinking man on earth has been discovered. He is suing his wife for a divorce because she 1 wouldn’t protect him against his mother-in-law. SHAW ON THE TARIFF. OMMENTING in his recent speech in Maine ‘ upon the question of tariff ‘revision, Secretary Shaw said that revision is at this time in- expedient and that it should never be undertaken until the time comes for dealing with the tariff as a whole. In support of his view he declared that the history of tariff legislation in this country from the Morrill act down to the present time is antagonistic to any idea of partial revision. In elaborating his theory the Secretary went on to say that the moment experiment with partial revision begins confusion follows. When one locality comes | forward with a proposition to reduce the tariff on | some article which it consumes but does not produce, another locality comes forward with a demand for re- duction on some other article, so that one step in revision leads to another, or else to antagonisms that weaken public support of protection as a principle. Later on-the Secretary is reported to have repeated that view of the issue in an interview at Washington, and to have said that he would not like to see any schedules revised until the whole list is ready for re- vision, repeating again the argument that the moment " the protection accorded by the present. tariff is shaved down those engaged in that industry will demand that the reduction be extended to- other ‘articles. The emphatic utterances of the Secretary on the subject are the more .iniportant because they come in time to meet the demand of the Republican conven- tion in Iowa for tariff revision.- That convention after declaring emphatically its support of the general system of protection went on to say: “We favor such changes in the tariff from time to time as may become advisable through the progress of our industries and their changing relations to the commerce of the world. We indorse the policy of reciprocity as the natural complement of protection, and urge its development as necessary to the realization of our highest commercial possibilities.” Secretary Shaw’s aigument meets that platform declaration fairly and exposes its futility. Protection as a principle can be applied as a fiscal system only when every industry in the country is taken into con- sideration and the proper measure of protection is granted to all. Tariff legislation is not a matter for tinkering, nor can it be wisely made the subject of treaties with other powers. The question of the amount of duties to be imposed at our custom-houses should remain in the hands of Congress-and not be left to the diplomats of the State Department. We have had experience of what results from reciprocity nego- tiations and the experience was far from satisfactory. It is not to be expected that the present tariff will be immutable, but it is to be expected that it shall | not be subjected to tinkering in the interest of this or that section of the country. When the time comes for revision it should be revised as a whole and by statesmen who understand protection as a principle and who do not look upon it as a mere question of expediency in which certain interests are to be guarded at the sacrifice of others. e —— It will be remembered that a short time agg Russia announced to the world that orders had been given to her troops to withdraw from Manchuria, but it is now said the country is so overrun by Chinese rob- bers it has been found necessary to rescind the orders. It seems that when once a strong power has a weak one by the throat the weak ome will never behave long enough to give the strong one a chance to turn loose. > Prussian officials at Posen are said to be greatly irritated because they cannot get the Polish children to say their prayers in German. It is even said that when the whip is held over them the children will start in with a weird German dialect mixed with Pol- ish and then the officials do not know whether the children are praying or swearing.

THE STRUCTURE WILL BE IXOCATED AT THE NORTH- EAST CORNER OF MONTGOMERY AND SACRAMENTO STREETS. LANS: for an up-to-date banking house for the Italian-Ametican Bank hate been drawn by Archi- tect T, J. Welsh. The structure will stand on the site of the old Donochoe Bank on the southeast corner of Montgomery and Sacramento streets. President Sbarboro and the directors of the bank expect their building to com- pare favorably with other such structures In this city. The new bullding will be seven stories high, with basement ten feet high in the clear. The style will be mcdern renaissance. The material will be iron and stone largely. TPhere will be frontages on both Montgomery and Sac- ramento streets. The entire area of the lot, which is 42 feet' on Montgomery street, 108 feet on Sacrameto street, with an L extending southward, 137:6x34:6 feet, will be occupied. The foundation walls and piers will be ‘ot concrete throughout. The:superstruc- ture, above footings, will be supported by steel girders and columns, whi¢h will ex- tend to the third floor, The front on Montgomery and Sacramento streets will be faced with granite, extending from the sidewalk to the - third story. The third, fourth, fifth and sixth storiés will have a veneer of Colusa sandstone and the seventh. story and cornice are to be ‘finished with terra cotta veneer, colored like stonme. The first floor will contain banking rooms, 26x69 feet and 18 feet high, with president’s, directors’ and,stationery rooms and steel-lined vaults. The wals wili be lined with marble. The floors will have handsome mosaic tiling. The offices will be fitted with polished hardwood and bronze work. The entrance to the bank will be at the corner. This will be flank- ed with granite Ionie columns. The main L e e o e ) IMPROVEMENTS FOR TOWNS OF SONOMA COUNTY e Andrea Sbarboro and his associates will in a few days incorporate a company having for its purpose the furnishing of | electric light and electric power to the | northern portion of Sonoma County. The company will render possible several en- terprises that are desirable from every point of, view. Power will be conducted to Clovérdale, Preston, Asti, Geyserville and Healdsburg. Mr. Sbarboro said yesterday that consid- erable progress has already been made to- ward damming up the waters of Sulphur Creek, five miles west of Cloverdale. In a fall of 400 feet, thus furnishing a large | amount of power. Wineries all along the | line will have the benefit of the power. | There is a fine wool country in that see- | tion, and possibly a woolen mill may be ccnstructed when cheap power js ready for aige. In the towns of Cloverdale, Preston, Asti, Geyserville and Healdsburg | many small industries are likely to start | up. Alfred E. Sbarboro is co-operating with his father and has secured a fran- chise from Sonoma County for erecting the poles for a line that will be about thirty miles long: The name of the new corporation wiil ba'the Cloverdale: Eight and Power Com- | pany. The capital stock will be about $100,000. The greater part of this has been subscribed in the communities that will be benefited hy-the enterprise. Before the winter seasoni the water will be con- trolled, according to present expectation, and the erection of the power plant can be advanced rapidly. Along the Russian River there are sites that are favored for a modern first-class tourist hotel, but such an enterprise' is impossible without electric lighting. A hotel is counted.in among the possibilities. PERSONAL MENTION. Jesse D. Carr of Salinas is at the Lick. J. O. Hestwood of San Jose Is at the Grand. Paul D. Walsh of Canton, Ohio, is at the Lick.

Telephone Main 1042 EXT Sunday’s Call will inau- H gurate an entirely new. de- parture in modern journalism. It will present a feature absolutely unique in the history of the news- paper world. In two consecutive edi- tions of the Sunday Call our readers will get the latest revised edition of the novel “None But the Brave,” the literary sensation of the year, for ten cents; five cents each 'Sunday. In book form it is a $1.50 novel. The first half of the story will be pub- lished in our special book edition of August 10, (next Sunday) and the second half, completing the book, will be printed on Sunday, August 17. Nothing like this has ever been at- tempted in the West before, but this is only the beginning of The Sunday Call’s’ new literary policy. Bigger surprises are to follow. The next novel to be published in this form will be “Lazarre,” which has had a wonderful success in the East and also in Europe. Following “La- zarre” will come “Alice of Old Vin- cennes,” “When EKnighthood Was in Flower,” etc., all $1.50 books, which you will get with the Sunday Call for less than one-tenth that price. The books and the price speak for them- selves. Not the least interesting feature of this new literary policy is the man- ner in which “None But the Brave” will be illustrated. Every character has been represented by a living, breathing human being. This idea is also absolutely unique. In order to carry it out p: rly the full strength of the Fn::ll:y ‘am- pany, now playing at the Grand Opera-house, was utilized, because all the members have appeared in plays of that period and consequently are thoroughly versed in the customs and manners of the times. _ Goldstein & Co. costumed the char- \ acters and gave their whole staff to the task to insure correctness in every detail, while Goldstein & Cohn furnished the wigs. And then to carry this perfection of detail still further the pictures were made at the Stan- ford Studio, where the operator, Mr. Morrison, gave particular attention to the setting. The outdoor pictures— those on horseback—were taken un- ‘der the supervision of Professor Dil- lon, riding master of the Park Riding School. Never before has so much effort been given to illustrating a book in any form. Alice Johnson for'the imdoor pic- tures and Eva Dennlison for the out- door pictures alternated in the part of “Debby” Philipse. Miss Thais Lawton was Baroness Riedesel, while the male members of the company sumed the parts as follows: &‘ Mr. Crane as Merton Balfort, Mr. Brewers as Lieutenant Hazeltine, Mr. Tracey as Lisutenant Curtis, Mr. Rob- ertson as Lieutenant Acton and also Jim Marvin, and Mr. Travis as Lieu- temant Atherton. - The pictures are masterpieces in photography. Remember that the first half of this great story will be out in The Sunday Call of next Sunday and the second half will appear in the Sunday Call of August 17. The story complete will cost you but ten cents and you will have read onme of the most popular $1.50 novels 'of the day. There will be no waiting from week to week for the continued chapters of the story, as is the policy of magazines and newspapers heretofore in running se- rials. This arrangement will give you the complete book in twe numbers of The Sunday Call and avoids that most unpleasant ‘“Continued next week” that ruins a good story for the reader by appearing just at the most interesting point in the nlrnflvs_‘ y
