Editorial Note and Comment The Republican State Central Committee met in San Francisco on Saturday and issued the call for the Republican State Convention, which will be held at Sacramento August 25th. The convention will consist of 820 delegates, to be chosen at primary elections or by county or assembly district conventions, whose members shall be elected by primaries. In deciding that the delegates shall be elected and not appointed, the state committee has acted in accordance with the policy consistently advocated by Governor Gage. Under the apportionment fixed by the committee, San Francisco has 176 delegates. Los Angeles comes next with 96; Alameda will have 71 and Santa Clara 37. Orange will have 11. The proceedings of the committee were for the most part purely formal, but J. Alva Watt of San Francisco excited a discussion by opposing the adoption of a resolution advocating the increase of wages for letter carriers. He declared that it was designed as a slap at Congressman Loud. “This same resolution was introduced at the San Jose convention by a rival of Loud’s for the congressional nomination,” he declared vehemently, alluding to the fact that State Senator Wolfe offered a similar resolution at the state convention of Republican clubs. TWO COUNTRIES CONTRASTED How American Hotels Compare with those of Europe, Chambermaids, Bellboys, Porters, Bills and All. BY FRANCIS E. CLARK, D. D. [CONTHUTED TO THE GAZETTE.] The American traveler in Europe is sure very quickly to be concerned with the old, old question, “What shall we eat and what shall we drink?” to which he adds very soon the related question, “Where shall we lodge?” Howeveresthetic the traveler may be, and however far above matters of bread and butter, the hotel question very soon forces itself upon him, for the first night on dry land after crossing the ocean mikes it an imperative matter for the traveler to find a roof over his head. In some respects, undoubtedly, the hotels of Europe have the advantage of those in America for the average traveler. To be sure, there are no more splendid caravansaries in the world than are found in our leading cities east and west. A dozen such hotels might be mentioned which would equal and perhaps surpass anything in Europe. But in the more moderate and unpretentious hotels Europe undeniably surpasses America. In the latter country there seems to be a sulden descent from the superb to the squall, from the splendid to the untidy, from the first class to the third or fourth class. There are few that reach the happy medium that suits the pockets of a poor man who at the same time has nice, if not fastidious, tastes. In America one can find any number of good hotels if he can afford to pay three, bur or five dollars a day. Now and then in a small place you can get very fair accommodations for two dollars a lay, but if one has a regard for can plan” has come to stand for the lump-sum, unitized bill. The number of “extras,” on the other hand, which a European landlord can find to charge for is often exasperating in the extreme to the American On arriving he is told that the price of the room is so much—a very reasonable charge, as it seems to him. But when he comes to pay the bill, he finds a startling array of small items—light so much, fire so much, attendance so much. He cannot get along without light or fire or attendance, and why he should be compelled to pay for them any more than for the curtains or the carpet he cannot understand. The only place where I ever saw the European system carried out to its logical perfection was in Siberia, where when I came to pay my bill in the Central hotel of Blagovestchensk, I found a long, long, itemized account. I thought that I had been very modest in my “extras,” and asked the proprietor to tell me why my bill was so long. He could speak no English and I could speak no Russian, so he pointed to the sheet on the bed and held up ten fingers, signifying that that was ten copecks. Two sheets amounted to twenty copecks. The towel was five copecks more. Of course light, fuel attendance, etc., were all charged for separately as well as the milk and sugar I had used in my tea and the butter I had spread on my bread. No wonder that my bill was a long if not a large one. THE TIP SYSTEM. Another most disagreeable feature of the European hotel which the American largely escapes is the tip system. To be sure, it is being introduced into America, more’s the pity, but has not yet reached the acute and aggravated stage it has attained in Europe. The larger the hotel the worse is th Francisco excited a discussion by opposing the adoption of a resolution advocating the increase of wages for letter carriers. He declared that it was designed as a slap at Congressman Loud. “This same resolution was introduced at the San Jose convention by a rival of Loud’s for the congressional nomination,” he declared vehemently, alluding to the fact that State Senator Wolfe offered a similar resolution at the state convention of Republican clubs. Judge Henry C. Dibble, Judge J. W. McKinley and others opposed Watt’s views, and the resolution was then adopted with only one dissenting vote. C. M. Belshaw was the only member of the committee who had supported Watt in the debate. Watt then addressed the committee, saying: “If you are here to do politics, I will do politics myself,” and he offered a resolution calling for the investigation of charges made by the San Francisco Call reflecting upon the management of San Quentin prison and accusing Governor Gage of having profited from illegal expenditures of state funds. A shout of laughter greeted the motion, and a motion to lay it on the table was carried by unanimous vote, even Watt failing to vote against it. Watt has been a persistent applicant for favors from Governor Gage, but he has been uniformly unsuccessful. He has been a candidate for a number of appointive offices, the latest being building and loan commissioner. Contemptible Politics. The desperation of the enemies of Governor Gage is being illustrated daily by the conduct of the few newspapers that are opposed to him. For example, a recent broadside of excerpts from rural papers was published, which were prefaced by a big heading and introduction to the effect that these were sample utterances of the press against Gage. Yet of the dozen papers quoted, five are known to be supporters of Gage and two of the others are the property of the paper publishing the garbled and emasculated quotations. An attempt is being made to hold the Governor responsible for the appointment of officials by various commissions over which he has absolutely no power. The Governor has no more to do with the selection of the secretary of the Board of Horticulture than he has with the secretary of the Board of Education of Alameda. Yet it has been charged that he “foisted one of his creatures” into the place. Other equally unfair and malicious assertions are made along the same line, all showing the desperation to which the enemies of the Governor have been driven in the effort to stem the tide of sentiment against them and in favor of an official who has given the taxpayers the lowest rate they have ever had, and this without in the remotest manner crippling any department of the government. In the latter country there seems to be a sudden descent from the superb to the squalid, from the splendid to the untidy, from the first class to the third or fourth class. There are few that reach the happy medium that suits the pocket of a poor man who at the same time his nice, if not fastidious, tastes. In America one can find any number of good hotels if he can afford to pay three, bur or five dollars a day. Now and thin in a small place you can get very fair accommodations for two dollars a lay, but if one has a regard for cleanliness and for digestion let him beware how he attempts to go below that sum. SECOND-CLASS HOTELS. But in Europe are many hostelries where far from one dollar to one dollar and a half a day you can get good beds, spotless linen and excellent fare. These are not, to be sure, “first-class” in the technical hotel sense of that term; they are not starred, perhaps, in Baedeker, but they afford all that a reasonable heart can wish in the way of cleanliness, prompt service and delicious toothsome fare. In Great Britain, too, are many “Temperance hotels,” which are really comfortable and pleasant abiding-places with a moderate tariff. In America the temperance hotel is usually an abomination, and the name is often used as a trap to lure people in on the ground of their principles who otherwise would never think of patronizing such dismal inns. THE “HOSPICE.” In Germany and Scandinavia also are many “hospices,” or “mission hotels,” as they are sometimes called, which are largely patronized by religious people who like to meet together where a blessing is asked at the table and prayers are held morning and night. There is, however, no constraint about these hotels. One can attend or not as he chooses. They are held at a regular hour, and are conducted by the proprietor or by the chaplain of the institution. Notice is posted in each room, but that is all. These houses are however, peculiarly quiet, orderly and often homelike, and are patronized by a class of people who enjoy one another’s society. They are not particularly cheap, but the traveler always feels that he is getting his money’s worth, and in most of them tips are forbidden, which is a boon to the harassed American, who is never sure how much he ought to give to the expectant servants. The hospice in Berlin is a fine modern building in connection with the Young Men's Christian Association, as are several similar hotels in other cities. No one could ask for better accommodation than he finds in the hospice in Stettin in Germany, or in the New Mississippi hotel in Christiansia in Norway. It must be confessed, also, that the service one receives in a European hotel is much more to one's mind than in the average American inn. The fresh and comely chambermaids in their neat uniform, the attentive bell attendance, etc., were all charged for separately as well as the milk and sugar I had used in my tea and thyme butter I had spread on my bread. No wonder that my bill was a long if not large one. THE TIP SYSTEM. Another most disagreeable feature of the European hotel which the American largely escapes is the tip system To be sure, it is being introduced into America, more’s the pity, but has not yet reached the acute and aggravated stage it has attained in Europe. The larger the hotel the worse is that tip nuisance. Servants seem to stand in every corridor and spring up from every landing-place. The chamber maid always happens along as you leave your room. By a kind of instinct she seems to know just when you are going. The porter, of course, must have something for bringing down your bag after the waiter stands, napkin in hand, so you pass the dining-room door. The porter opens the carriage for you and must have his fee, and “boots” is a ways lurking near for his share of this plunder. The whole thing is an unmitigate nuisance, leading to servility on one side and to a kind of lordly patronage on the other, both of which are destructive of true manhood. But this topic is too large to be exhausted at the end of a brief article and I must for bear. At present American, as conditions now are in Europe, must pocket his republic feelings, tip the expectant and service crowd that always speed the part guests as nicely and judiciously as I can, and devoutly hope and pray that this wretched and undemocratic custom may never become fully acclimated in his own land.

Why Depew Refrained? “Mr. Depew,” said a gentlemen speaking recently of the Senate ‘pays a compliment as graceful as any man, and one would never expect to see him fail to rise to the casion. It was therefore a matter considerable surprise to me when, as dinner where the Senator was a guest I observed that he allowed to pass an eral excellent opportunities to comment a charming young lady of company. Afterward I commented upon the omission to Mr. Depew himself. “You observed the lady?” he said. “Yes,’ I answered. “You noticed that she might be tremely sensitive?” he went on. “Yes,’ I replied, though truth tell I hadn't considered the lady’s position at all. “Well,’ said Mr. Depew slowly once told a sensitive girl that I thought The hospital in Berlin is a fine modern building in connection with the Young Men's Christian Association, as are several similar hotels in other cities. No one could ask for better accommodation than he finds in the hospice in Stetin in Germany, or in the New Mission hotel in Christiansia in Norway. It must be confessed, also, that the service one receives in a European hotel is much more to one's mind than in the average American inn. The fresh and comely chambermaids in their neat uniform, the attentive bellboys and the smiling porter that manages the "lit" all make you feel that you are very welcome. THE BELL-BOY. No rude, unkempt youth raps on your door as if he were trying to wake the dead, saps down a pitcher of ice-water with a bang that you fear will forever run the pitcher, and then slams the door after him without a polite salutation of any kind either going or coming, as I have often seen him do in America. In Europe this same boy who answers to the ice-water lad in America, though he would stare if you asked him for any such liquid refreshment, is always polite and deferential. He always touches his hat to you in the hallway. He treads softly. He says "Bitte" (please) when he opens your door. He learns your wishes assiduously and executes his orders speedily. Moreover he does not resent it if you put your boots outside the door to be polished, or if you hang your coat out to be brushed, but in the morning you always find a pair of shining boots and a suit of well-brushed clothes to put on. ON THE OTHER HAND. However, there are certain well-defined advantages in an American hotel that must not be overlooked. One of these is that you know what you are to pay, and do not have to trouble yourself about the long string of "extras" which is likely to meet your eye when you examine your European bill. This is only another illustration of the wholesale and retail habits of the two continents, of which I have spoken in a previous article. The hotels in America are conducted distinctly on the wholesale system. The "Ameri- The Excitement Not Over.

NUMBER 31 MEASUREMENT OF RIVERFLOW Notable Work Undertaken by Government Looking to Development of the Arid Region During the year 1900 rivers have been measured in various parts of the United States from Maine to California, and the estimates obtained of the daily flow of streams form the foundation upon which rest matters relating to the hydrography of the country. The arid regions of the United States include about two-fifths of its entire area, and extend from about the middle of the continent westward nearly to the Pacific ocean. A broad intermediate sub-arid or sub-humid belt, near the center of the United States, extends over North Dakota, South Dakota, western Nebraska, western Kansas and into Oklahoma and the panhandle of Texas. In very wet years the sub-humid region creeps up to the foothills of the Rocky mountains; during dry years the greater part of the plains region west of the Mississippi becomes semi-arid. Arid regions are those in which the average annual rainfall is twenty inches or less. Large tracts of Canada and Mexico, as well as of the United States, and a great part of the countries of the Old World are, according to our standard, arid. Irrigation was the basis of the agriculture, and therefore of the civilization, of the ancient peoples, a fact of much significance to us. If the surface of the globe were flat the rains would probably be distributed uniformly in broad bands parallel to the equator, but the uniform movement of the atmosphere is interfered with by lofty mountain masses. In the United States as a whole the general movement of the atmosphere is from west to east. The damp winds from the Pacific deposit their moisture on the high masses of the Sierra Nevada relation to the development of irrigation and the complete utilization of the water resources of the public domain. Some of the actual desert lands in the United States produce nothing, even when watered, as, for example, the broad flats adjacent to the Great Salt lake in Utah, and the lands around the Humboldt, Carson and Walker sinks in Nevada. Others, like the Mohave desert, near the Colorado river in Southern California, produce large crops when watered. Portions of these desert lands, therefore, are reclaimable by artesian wells or by reservoirs for storing the intermittent floods of the small streams flowing from the bordering mountains. It is most important that thorough geologic examinations should be verified by drilling a few wells to a depth sufficient to determine for a large desert area whether an artesian flow can be surely obtained. Professor Newell summarizes the great advantages resulting from local co-operation with the hydrographic work of the geological survey, whether the assistance be given by state authorities or by local organizations, as follows: An extended record of a stream shows the area normally irrigable with safety from that stream, as well as the power possibilities, and, in connection with reservoir surveys, indicates the volumes of winter and flood water available by storage. The records of stream flow are an official basis for the legal adjudication of water rights. They are essential in considering questions of domestic water supply, irrigation and overflow. The length of time required to establish average water conditions prohibits private investigations, and the construction of reservoirs by the public is improbable without this information. All of these data are officially distributed, either free or at the bare cost of printing. Topographic maps are important for educa- PROTECTION FOR RURAL MAIL BOXES Persons Who Maliciously Injure Them of Tear Them Down Will Be Prosecuted to the Full Extent of the Law. Postmaster Littlefield has received from General Superintendent A. W. Machen of the Postoffice Department at Washington a circular regarding persons who interfere with or tear down rural delivery mail boxes. From it we take the following paragraph. Whoever shall hereafter wilfully or maliciously injure, tear down or destroy any letter-box or other receptacle established by order of the Postmaster-General, or approved or designated by him for the receipt or delivery of mail matter on any rural free delivery route, or shall break open the same, or willfully or maliciously injure, deface or destroy any mail matter deposited therein, or shall willfully take or steal such matter from or out of such letter-box or other receptacle, or shall willfully aid or assist in any of the aforementioned offenses, shall for every such offense be punished by a fine of not more than one thousand dollars, or by imprisonment for not more than three years. Mr. Littlefield reports that numerous cases of injury to mail boxes upon routes west of town have been reported, and that it is the desire of the department that offenders be brought to trial for their offenses and punished. Certain it is that parties who molest, tear down or destroy mail boxes ought to be summarily dealt with. Let no guilty man escape.

Afterward I commented on the omission to Mr. Depew him. You observed the lady?' he said. 'I answered. You noticed that she might be extremely sensitive?' he went on. Yes, I replied, though truth to reason didn't consider the lady's dislike at all. Well,' said Mr. Depew slowly, 'I told a sensitive girl that I thought she sweet as honey, and the result was astonishing.' How so?' I questioned, though I do have known better.

According to the will as originally drafted, he left $6000 to Newton of Syracuse, N. Y., to be formerly engaged. He chanced her name out and substituted Miss Platt when the change over his affections, and only one witnesses to the will was apprised of the change, which was equivalent taking a new will.

The higher mountain slopes and mesas have a covering of trees. Within the arid and semi-arid districts of the western states nearly 120,000,000 acres are covered with woodland, and in addition, more than 75,000,000 acres are covered with commercial timber; about 470,000,000 acres are grazing land. Thus, as to area, the grazing industry will probably always be the great industrial pursuit. The open range of the arid region may support one cow to every 20 acres. The same land watered may support 10 cows to 20 acres, or in orchards may support 5 persons to 20 acres. The open range may sell for 50 cents an acre; watered it may be worth $50 an acre, or in orchards, $500 an acre. The grazing land has the greatest extent and the least value; the irrigated land the least extent and the greatest value. The forests of the arid region mark the greatest rainfall and also the sources of the streams. In obedience to public sentiment the government has already set aside many millions of acres of forest woodland, primarily for the supposed beneficial influence of forests upon stream flow. The open grazing lands of the arid west have had and still have their history of conflicts between the interests and the persons of the settlers, the cattlemen, the sheepmen and the lumbermen. So uncertain are the conditions surrounding the use of the public lands for grazing purposes that practically all of the farmers and the irrigators of the arid region, as well as the stockmen, ask for legislation by which temporary rights in the form of licenses can be had to the use of the forage, pending final settlement of the lands. As it is now, the ranges are frequently so overstocked that the valuable forage plants are eaten down and destroyed. This matter of grazing in the west, being of fundamental concern in the arid region, is constantly brought before the hydrographer, and it has an intimate SCOTT'S EMULSION OF COD-LIVER OIL WITH HYPOPHOSPHITES should always be kept in the house for the following reasons: FIRST — Because, if any member of the family has a hard cold, it will cure it.
