Engineers Steal March on the Military Guard of the Park. Return to Forbidden Territory After Being Ejected by the Federal Troops Who Were on Guard. The oft talked of railroad to the Yo- semite Valley seems to be the object of not cue but two surveying parties that are now in the field in that section. Now that the military patrol of the national park has been abandoned for the winter and the park is left without head or rule the surveyors are running lines in all di- | rections without fear of soldiers or fed- 1 | eral authorities, and it is apparent that | preparation is being made to begin work in the spring. The present surveying is supposed to be in the interests of the Crocker Estate Company and the sur- veys are so elaborate as to indicate both an electric road and a power plant to be operated from the Merced River, which rveying party now at work: a few days ago.

The engineers will not give out any formation, but a close ovservation of the op- | tions of the party leads to the belief that a cctric road and power plant 1s | | the object aimed at. { | SURVEYING IN THE VALLEY. | will be at work in the yalley for the mext three | mont making surveys between here and | Merced Falle. It 1s plain that if the object was merely to survey for a pole line it would | not take so long, nor would the surveyors have to come up the river this far if their object was 1o lay out @ route for a canal, | Some further f: of the operations | |of Ersineer Martin and his party are | that the outfit arrived in the foothill re- gion of the Sierra on the lower part of | the Merced River during the latter part of | the summer. The men made surveys | running along the canyon of the Merced | until they reached the Yosemite National | Park lines, which at this point are nearly | miles from the Yosemite Valley itself. Mr. Martin made some surveys | and planted a lot of stakes, when a pa- | trol of the Third Cavalry, then guarding | the National Park, found the men at| work: The matter was referred to Ma- | jor O. L. Hein, the acting superintendent at Wawona, and Major Hein ordered the | op work and ejected them | from Acting upon orders from | Washington, Major Hein then had all of | | the svrvey stakes pulled up by a patrot | of soldiers. T settled the operations | of the Martin party until the soldiers de- | parted. MARTIN MAKES ESTIMATES. | After the party left the limits of the | National Park it retired down the Mer- | yon to the neighborhood of Mer- | where it completed surveys for | plant that was sufficient to sup- | ply power both for general commercial purposes and also an electric road. But Martin wanted information and by the name of Ray, whose employers are | | unlnown, and one by a party supposed to | be backed by the Yosemite Stage and Turnpike Company, of which the late.

W. P. Laird, the Democratic Assemblyman from Bak- ersfield. Judge Laird at the time denied his authorship of the amendment, but | spoke in support of its provisions. Sena- tor Curtin was its consistent opponent |i both during its pendency before the Leg- Daroux, of poolroom fame, boasted re- cently that Sausalito, the only precinct in the State that gave the amendment a plurality, did so owing to his influence, and explained that he“worked for it be- cause of personal friendship for Senator Curtin, who, he said, was the.author of the measure. . ‘Senator Curtin hastened to disclaim responsibility for the amendment, and investigation supports completely his statement of the history of the proposed amendment which the yoters condemned so unsparingly at the poll: — e — WITHDRAW OPPOSITION TO J.

A startling error has been discovered by the deputies in the Registrar’s office in the returns filed by the election officers of the Seventh Precinct of the Forty- first Assembly District, whereby it is rea- sonably certain that E.

The semi-official returns disclose that the candidates for Congress were credited witH about 100 votes more than were poll- ed for Governor. In other words, more votes were tallled for the Congressional nominees than there are voters in the precinct. The vote was, Kahn-145, Liver- rash 157, Costley 1; total 303. The vote for Governor was, Pardee 118, Lane 91, Brower 2;. total 211 The fact that the district-is Rerublican, 2ccording to the'registration officlals, in- dicates that Livernash will be the loser, especially when the vote for other can- dfdates is considered. Braunhart (D.), for Railroad Commissioner, polled 57, and Andrew (R.) 132. Langdon -(D. - U.-L.), for Superintendent of Schools, polled 60 and Webster (R.) 136. The deputy Regis- trars believe that Livernash should have been credited with 57 votes, instead of 157, At the:present stage ' of the official count Livernash has gained 21 votes, which, added to his plurality of 215 on the semi-official returns, puts him 236 ahead of Kahn. Should he lose 100 votes in the Seventh of the Forty-first he will | only be 136 ahead of Kahn. | In yesterday’'s official count there were found 233 ballots cast and 234 votes count- ed for Governor in the Twelfth Precinct of the Thirty-third District. The elec- tion officers will be called upon to ex- plain the difference. In the Eighth Pre- cinct of the Thirty-second District Lane lost one vote under similar circumstances. Alford, for the Board of Equalization, gained 5 in the Fifth Precinct of the| Thirty-third District. | e TANNERS’ STRIKE MAY BE SETTLED BY ARBITRATION Conference Is to Be Held at Acting- Mayor Brandenstein’s Suggestion. | The “.investigation into the alleged threats of violence on the part of the striking tanners was resumed yesterday in the Mayor's office and resulted in the taking of preliminary steps for the set- tlement of the strike by arbitration. After the evidence was all in Acting Mayor Brandenstein stated that he would reserve his decision, although he was satisfied that threats had been made. He then suggested that a conference of em- ploying tanners and employes be held with a view toward settling the strike. Herbert Kullman, president of the Cali- fornia Tanners’ Association, said that his organization would agree to a conference. D. McLennan, secretary of the Labor Council, agreed to bring the matter before the executive board of the labor union. Brandenstein said he would not have the policemen who had been withdrawn, ST, ia .
