A DISTINGUISHED OFFICER Capt. Richard Wainright, commanding the Louisiana, in Admiral Evans' battleship fleet now at Callao, is said by a Washington despatch to be slated to command the fleet on its arrival at San Francisco, when Evans will have reached the age limit and will be retired. Wainright will become a rear admiral on Evans' retirement, and will in all respects be an ideal commander of the fleet. He commanded the converted gunboat Gloucester in the fight at Santiago and single handed fought the two Spanish torpedo-boat destroyers, Pluton and Furor, sinking both. One shell from the Gloucester struck the Pluton amidships and split the destroyer in two. While the larger vessels of the blockading squadron, following Sampson's signal, "Close in and engage," were paying attention to Cervera, whose ships were shot to pieces in their wild run along the southern coast of Cuba, Wainright attacked the two destroyers, which While the larger vessels of the blockading squadron, following Sampson's signal, "Close in and engage," were paying attention to Cervera, whose ships were shot to pieces in their wild run along the southern coast of Cuba, Wainright attacked the two destroyers, which were the last vessels out of the harbor. What happened to the Viscaya, the Almirante Oquendo, the Christobal Colon and the Maria Theresa, at the hands of Sampson and Schley, also befell the two destroyers, which were easily defeated by Wainright's rapid fire as well as the precision of his gunners. This young officer proved himself to be one of the heroes of the fight He will do to command the fleet. When Cervera sighted the island of Martinique and prepared for his jack-rabbit hike over the waters of the Caribbean, it was the Pluton which gave the Americans the first positive indication of his whereabouts. The destroyer entered the harbor of Martinique to file despatches and was sighted by the scout ship St. Paul. The Americans were right after the Spaniards, but the latter, scampering for the island of Curacao, eluded their pursuers. As a sprinter Cervera was a success, as his subsequent flight to Santiago proved. The Spaniards were greatly elated at their ability to elude their pursuers, but Cervera got all that was coming to him in due season, and Capt. Wainright was in at the killing.

With the exception of a small area in the northern part of Lassen county, all the lands put within the forest by this proclamation are situated in Modoe county. The exact area of the additions is 570,000 acres, which brings the total area of the forest up to 859,018 acres. The land proclaimed a part of the Modoc forest will be put under administration at once, with Supervisor C. E. Rachford, whose headquarters is at Alturas, California, in charge. The additions to the forest have a stand of valuable yellow pine, which will amount to several million feet and will average 12,000 feet to the acre. There is little or no agricultural land in the addition. President Roosevelt is convinced that Secretary Taft will be nominated on the first ballot and there is no shrewder judge of political events than Theodore Roosevelt. He knows that the people are for his policies and he is sure they will appreciate that Secretary Taft is the only candidate in the field who is for those policies in his heart. SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE An article setting forth the appears to Mr. De Young, that cannot be nominated for presidency. Mr. De Young likely caught red-handed in giving a franchise from the supervisors, and his reputation as a blackmailer extending the past thirty years, is such attention is paid to his spiels nowadays. Yet he stood to be slated by the San state central committee state at large to the Chicago union. Perhaps this is more feature of a slap to Editor of the Call, who has been the corrupt machine polithe state, rather than as a to De Young's qualities as and statesman. Of course, man dared throw the Calilegation against Secretary would do so; but as the seems a sure winner, how small must these railroad appear to be! The people Taft, and Mr. De Young to vote for the war secreor Mr. Harriman is too a political billy goat not to the winning side when the agon comes along. UND STATES HALTS JAPAN Japanese may think twice before they push on with their aggressions. The most that is hoped for is to stay their hands temporarily and give China a chance to find a way to help herself. The protest may not do much good in the long run, as the Japanese are famous for never giving up anything they once get into their clutches and they are as fertile as the Russians in finding pretexts and justifications. Just after the Russo-Japanese war, many students of world affairs were alarmed lest Japan attain ascendency over China politically, commercially, militarily and create an oriental empire which might menace the whole world. If Japan ever had such a dream—and there is evidence that once they did—it has been rudely dispelled. The Chinese hate them and will have none of them. TRADE AT HOME That there is a vast amount of money flowing into Los Angeles from all parts of Southern California constantly, will probably be admitted as true by all. This money goes for dry goods, clothing, furniture, groceries, and many other commodities, including printing. It's a good plan to do your trading at home, even if your purchases cost you a trifle more than they come to in Los Angeles. As to printing, here are the facts: If this office enjoyed the amount of work that is sent by outside towns to some of the city offices, we would probably reduce rates al- UNITED STATES HALTS JAPAN United States government hearing a formal protest by Japanese usurpation of power and territorial control in Japan. This protest will soon end. It will undoubtedly be held as a sensational event all over the world, and will cause an alarm scare, so reads a descent Washington. Protest will be a strong and uneven and, though addressed by Japanese government, it will only be sent to all the powers of a joint note. So far no moral influence of the American government can be exerted, being possible will be done to Japan to observe her treaty ous and to respect the territory and administrative rule of China. Japan is not king in Manchuria as was reef her by the treaty of South. Nor is Russia, for matter. Each power is jealous of the other, and each is seizeable and more the reins of authority and ousting the Chinese. The Japanese are more aggressive.

The Chinese government had made representation to Washington concerning seriousness of the situation. furniture, groceries, and many other commodities, including printing. It's a good plan to do your trading at home, even if your purchases cost you a trifle more than they come to in Los Angeles. As to printing, here are the facts: If this office enjoyed the amount of work that is sent by outside towns to some of the city offices, we could probably reduce rates, although they are now as low as quality of stock and superior workmanship will permit. If our merchants could multiply their business by ten, or by fifty, indubitably they could offer the public lower prices than at present are possible. This office is the direct means of support of several families, all of whom make it a rule to do their buying of the local grocer, dry-goods man, butcher, baker, furniture dealer, and so on. How about that order for jobwork, Mr. Business Man, which you sent to Los Angeles this week, when you receive hundreds of dollars annually in trade from this office? Is that giving us a square deal? Let us all get together, brethren, on this subject, and with malice toward none, and with charity for all, resolve here and now to do our trading, and all our trading, at home. The idea suggested by M. O. Leighton of the geological survey that disastrous floods can be prevented by constructing conservation reservoirs along the banks of those rivers which run through mountainous country is likely to command considerable attention. Mr. Leighton says that the Ohio river is especially adapted to the construction of such reservoirs. His plan is to construct the reservoirs in natural overflow basins, to keep them empty under normal conditions, but when the river rises to the danger point to turn the overflow into the reservoirs.

Mrs. During conduct has greatly affected the Chinese authorities, only a few days ago the cable news of a conference of the governors of the three provinces of Manchuria to be held in next week. The Chinese government had made representations to Washington concerning seriousness of the situation. It has been said that the situation in Manchuria was the real for the dispatch of our fleet to Pacific. The troubles with the Japanese and the loss of our government to help Chinese were a contributing factor of the decision. The dominance, and as Secretary Taft recently declared in a public statement, was to give the orientals direct-lesson to the eye to show the only thing the most of understand and have any re-actor—a demonstration of power in general the fleet was an aid to our diplomacy, our diplomacy is endeavoring results with peace. Probably it is impossible for the real to attach as much importance to a pledge or a treaty obligation is commonly done by occi-cles, but, after the protest of the United States has been issued, the river which run through mountainous country is likely to command considerable attention. Mr. Leighton says that the Ohio river is especially adapted to the construction of such reservoirs. His plan is to construct the reservoirs in natural overflow basins, to keep them empty under normal conditions, but when the river rises to the danger point to turn the overflow into the reservoirs. There it could be conserved until a period of low water when it could be turned back into the channel thus facilitating navigation and maintaining effective waterpower. Mr. Leighton points out that the last flood cost the Ohio valley about $100,000,000, and it is probable the present one will cost as much, and that by the expenditure of the like sum once, for the construction of reservoirs, all future damage could be averted. It is a matter of extreme chagrin to the President that a certain trading company is exerting its influence in congress to prevent his being able to keep his promise and relinquish $13,000,000 of the $24,000,000 which China obligated herself to pay to the United States as damages growing out of the Boxer uprising. The claim of this company, and that of all others who suffered damages as a result of the Boxer troubles, was adjudicated by the department of state; its alleged damages were bride, played Mendelssohn march.
