CLEAN MEN AT SACRAMENTO LIGHT BREAKING AT CASTLE DEMOCRATS AND INSURGENT REPUBLICANS PROPOSE DESIRABLE LEGISLATION Practically All Bills Proposing Desirable Legislation of a Public Nature Sidestepped by Organization Members—Men Like Wolfe and Leavitt in Control of the Senate Strong prima-facie evidence of the domination of the senate by such men as Senators Wolfe and Leavitt is to be found in the fact that practically all bills proposing desirable legislation of a public character, thus far, have been introduced either by democrats or "insurgent" republicans. Senator Black, republican, from the 20th district, has introduced one of the most important measures of the session, thus far. It is senate constitutional amendment No. 6, providing for submission to the people of all laws, statutes, or amendments to the constitution upon the presentation to the secretary of the state of a petition containing the signatures of at least eight per cent of the votes cast at the last preceding election. He is also the author of the senate joint resolution asking congress to enact a parcels post law. Senator Sanford, democrat, has presented several measures of general importance. One bill provides for a two-cent railroad passenger rate; another relates to contributions for campaign purposes; another prohibits lobbying. His senate resolution No. 3 urges our representatives in congress to support measures granting in creased powers to the interstate commerce commission. Senator Boynton, republican, from the 6th district, has introduced several measures of great interest. One of his bills relates to verdicts of juries. His most important bill, however, is senate bill No. 114 known... Senator Boynton, republican, from the 6th district, has introduced several measures of great interest. One of his bills relates to verdicts of juries. His most important bill, however, is senate bill No. 114, known as the reciprocal demurrage bill, over which there doubtless will be a warm contest. Two other measures relate respectively to the treatment of diseases of cultivated plants and union highschool matters. Senator Walker, republican, from the 27th district, in fathering the anti-racetrack gambling bill, which will be known in the senate as senate bill No. 30, will have all he can attend to in looking after this, among the most important legislation asked this session. Senator Caminetti, democrat, from the 10th district is sponsor for several important measures. One proposes to reform the state board of railroad commissioners, making it harmonize with the interstate commerce commission in its operations; another proposes to secure the physical valuation of the property of railroads as a basis for rate regulation; another asks for better state support of highschools; another makes provision for a consulting board of mining debris. Senator Caminetti not only looks after the interests of his own district but, as will be seen, initiates important general measures. Senator Campbell, democrat, from the 31st district, has introduced a bill regulating the board of railroad commissioners and providing for the regulation and control of certain public service corporations. He also introduced a proposed constitutional amendment relative to the railroad commission, and a bill providing for reform in the verdicts of juries. Senator Roseberry, republican, from the 33d district, although a new man, has important measures before the legislature. One is the much discussed postal primary bill; another relates to peremptory challenges in jury trials. Contrasted with the proposed legislative work of these men who are earning the title of reformers, is the perfunctory service of the performers. For example, examine the efforts in behalf of the public put forth thus far this session by Senator Wolfe of San Francisco and Senator Leavitt of Oakland. Senator Wolfe has introduced mea- The obvious purpose was to the upper house, to smoothed death such proposed measures as anti-racetrack gambling bill, titative and, if possible, the direct mary. Johnson's associates committee are Speaker Stanton Messrs. Transue of Los Angeles ter of Tuolumne, Beardslee Joaquin, and Beban of San Francisco. The fight against the adoption the new rules was led by Dr Fresno, the people's leader in lower house. The fight was and bitter one. Beardslee and L. Johnson championed the lost cause of the Performers; of Fresno, Cattell of Los Alameda and Cronin of Solan ing the Reformers to a decisive victory. The vote against the unious Johnson-Stanton proposal 41 to 32. By common consent the most politicians are coming to be really known as "Performers" tinguished from "Reformers." A few weeks since Lieutenanterner Porter, in addressing th ed them to be "performers" than. "reformers" he probably no idea that the name he them ed to the Southern Pacific br politicians, regardless of party stick. But it appears to hav tened itself permanently upon element. It will be well for those d to keep close watch upon the of the present legislature to a note of the line-up for and at the rules proposed by the Pe ers. Here is the way the vote For the new rules: Messrs. dollar, Beardslee, Beban, Collier, Cullen, Dean, Feeley, elle, Fleisher, Gerdes, Greer, iths, Hans, Hawk, Holmquist, son of Sacramento, Johnson o Diego, Johnston of Contra Leeds, Macauley, McClellan, Mus, Moore, Mott, Nelson, Pugh, Pulcifer, Schmitt, Transu Stanton—32. For the old rules: Messrs. Bohnett, Callan, Cattell, Co Collum, Costar, Cronin, Drew, Gibbons, Hammion, Hanlon, Hewitt, Hinkle, Hopkins, Irwin son of Placer, Juilliard, Lightn her, Melrose, Mendenhall, Odor the legislature. One is the much discussed postal primary bill; another relates to peremptory challenges in jury trials. Contrasted with the proposed legislative work of these men who are earning the title of reformers, is the perfunctory service of the performers. For example, examine the efforts in behalf of the public put forth thus far this session by Senator Wolfe of San Francisco and Senator Leavitt of Oakland. Senator Wolfe has introduced measures affecting San Francisco—one proposing a school of trades; another establishing a state board of embalmers, which does not look good to the experienced observer. To his credit may be placed the introduction of the Hetch-Hetchy bill, which was prepared, of course, by a committee. Senator Leavitt has introduced a number of measures of a routine nature. Neither of these men has initiated any legislation of any especial interest to the state at large. Senator Willis, republican, "organization man," of the 30th district, is responsible for a number of bills apparently prepared by others. The first reading of them fails to disclose anything of great importance in connection with any of them. Senator McCartney, machine republican, of Los Angeles, is responsible for bills by the dozen, but if none of them had been introduced, the state would manage to worry along until another session. Senator Stetson, republican of Oakland, was selected to introduce the bill regulating the state railroad commission prepared for Governor Gillett by Attorney General Webb. It does not take the keenest intellect nor the most alert observer to discern the fact that the real performers in the 38th session are not to be Lieutenant Governor Warren Porter's Performers, but that the most desirable legislation will come, if at all, through the efforts of the Reformers. BREAKING AT CAPITAL GETS DECISIVE SET-DEFEAT OF PROPOSED NEW RULE Unanticipated Power Asself With Telling Effect in Legislative Bureau On People Watching Lawmakers to, Cal., Jan. 25.—A brilli light has penetrated the atmosphere which for many invested the political arra-mento. Calmly, deliber-ut ostentation, the true lives of the people, found signs of the democracy and ant republicans, have de-tened the weakness of the al- of corruption. The men of Sacramento prepared to orders of the railroad's fixed their political fort-proposed new set of rules adopted, would have en-ree handful of men to con-slation. But this bold need, and by a vote that guarded as decisive. In which governed the last assembly provided, among its, that all bills should be out of committee with-after they had been reaker Stanton's committee headed by Grove L. John-od to lift the ten day limit bills to be reported unitee "as soon as practo-other words, at the plea-committee having a bill." The Johnson rule also at a motion to recall a committee should not be pursued purpose was, as in house, to smother to proposed measures as the risk gambling bill, the init-if possible, the direct prisoner's associates on the people's lobby has unearthed and given to the press the details of one or two deep-laid plots to render null the efforts of the decent element in the legislature. The first and thus far the most important service to the public performed by the People's lobby is the uncovering of the scheme of the organization leaders in the senate to force upon that body a rule enabling fourteen members to prevent any bill from becoming law. The Performers had hoped to adopt a rule to the effect that no bill should be recalled from committee except upon two-thirds vote of the senate. The People's lobby discovered this plot, gave out the news to the friendly press, and the ensuing publicity put an end to it. The second service rendered by the People's lobby, directly through the moral effect of its very existence, was seen in the adoption in both houses of drastic rules prohibiting the presence of lobbyists upon the floor. Although the machine leaders supported these rules in the expectation that the representative of the People's lobby might be seriously hampered in his work, the direct contrary has resulted; and the fact that the Hattons and the Burkes have been conspicuous by their absence since the first day of the session is evidence of the quality of its work.

It is generally conceded by all thoughtful and observing people that the calibre of the moral manifestation and the intellectual grade of the aggregation of the citizens of a city town or municipality, is shown by the gauge of its public improvements and sanitary condition. Here is the town of Anaheim with its good natural climatic conditions, with good soil and plenty of water and withal somewhat protected from excessive heavy gales of wind. Anaheim is an ideal place for raising all the semi-tropical fruits and berries, as well as oranges, lemons and walnuts. The condition of this principality as it exists today is considerably below par, I am not saying how much below. The need of a sewer system is one of the most pressing wants at this time, and if this is not taken into consideration and the sewerage taken away from the soil, we may expect to reap the due results from slothful procrastination. We have a good city well and electric light system; but unfortunately the well is situated in a locality where a considerable of the drainage is direct toward it. As every new building puts in a cesspool from fifteen to twenty feet deep to carry off the sewage, and there are numbers of buildings going up right along in the path of the incline towards the well of the understrata of water. Now, if this understrata of washed sand and gravel is good for cesspool filtration, and with all the cesspools that are already in, and the many more that are each and every week going in, and some not so many rods away from the well, how long will it take this cesspool sewerage that is tributary to this well, and which is closing in around it on all sides and directions, to permeate the sand and gravel in the underlying strata? How long will it take it with the aid of the storm water, until we commence to pump some of the seepage from this filtering sewage, or in, plain English, to repump some of this same water over again? What about a lot of water? It is strewn along the public. The town is not receiving fit from it, nor is it receive interest on the money paid. How about the public pay take it all back. I didn't say anything about that. Anaheim deserves credit for good points. They are the ownership of her electric and water plants. This is the right direction. Further her public schools are well for, and are second to no locality. And finally the proper thing is for every person, man and woman to get into the harness and Just push steadily for better perhaps you will finally respectfully. INDIAN BASKETRY The University of California just published, through the library Press, a volume on Porter Basketry by Dr. S. A.Barrett of the staff of the Department of Anthropology. Basketry requires California a very high state section, and among no other nation people was there so griefly as among the Pomo, wiled the greater part of Sonoma docno and Lake counties. Thor collected his informationcerning Pomo basketry and designs during some years ence in the Pomo region, fied it by a systematic survey region in 1904. This work ducted as part of the investigation of the ethnographical and of the republican memorial on the question of Senator Bell of Pasadena admitted to party caucus regularly regarded as a fair in the future attitude of the republican senators on questions, such as the initiative and kinesties. Those who voted to are Senators Anthony, conducted the fight for California man, Birdsall, Reilly, Roseberry, Rush, Son, Strobridge, Thompson and Walker. The vote admission to 16 against Governor Porter has landed in the appointment committee on public which consists of Senators (German), Wolfe, Leavitt, Kennedy. This committee the racetrack bill. If through this committee he for action, it will be strong popular uprising the state. In new and unanticipated inserting itself here with It is the People's Leau, or, as it is more referred to by the big dairie People's lobby. For in the history of Cali-people of the state are their lawmakers at close oxy. Already the Peo- the many more that are each and every week going in, and some not so many rods away from the well, how long will it take this cesspool sewerage that is tributary to this well, and which is closing in around it on all sides and directions, to permeate the sand and gravel in the underlying strata? How long will it take it with the aid of the storm water, until we commence to pump some of the seepage from this filtering sewage, or in, plain English, to repump some of this same water over again? We will take the condition, that on certain streets with a cesspool every fifty feet apart one way and one hundred and fifty feet the other way, how long will it take under ordinary existing conditions till the small radius between is completely saturated? And this saturated under soil coming in continuous proximity to a strong drawing centrifugal pump. Is there any doubt of the result? Again, take a vertical pump that is strong enough to collect and pump up a volume of water of fifty or seventy inches more or less. This pumping plant will have a drawing effect on the strata or water basin from one-fourth to one-half mile in different directions, according to the formation of the strata or gravel basin. For example, in the Chino district, where there are over a hundred wells, some flowing and others nearly so, when they uncap and commence to pump from one of the big wells that furnishes water for the sugar factory, it would lower the level of water in wells nearly three miles away. It don't require any stretch of imagination to state for a fact that this water comes from under that town from some direction. It would seem that the most sane and proper thing to do is to commence immediately and prepare for a sewer system. Commence now. Bond the district if necessary. But bear in mind that it takes a long time to get ready under favorable conditions. It would require nearly years before a sewer system was installed and attached for use. In order to prevent mad typhoid fevers, it is not yet to commence now. The cisis situated all right, if there proper sewer leading off between but if a well could be got out of town it would be a proposition.

They can see no use perhaps they have none perpare some people who can go side of a frogpond or a stagnant water, and so they don't die they can see them taking any trouble about it matter as public health. The American soldiers enter streets of Havana, Cuba, they at the people there threw garbage and waste scraps out streets in front, which was the cause of the yellow fever for dangerous diseases. Americans soon made a clean-ly the whole city, and they teach the resident people that is a cleaner way to live. If our surrounding towns are to keep up or ahead of theirs. How is it with our town? Keeping up with the processions, neighbors and citizens, your ears for a space. Are lacking in local pride? Are uncumbered with a heedless-ward real needed improve-ments it for lack of means, or why toward laying the founda-procure means? How about business streets in winter. About a lot of water pipe that along the public streets? It is not receiving any benefit, nor is it receiving any money paid for it. About the public park?

The present work deals with the fibers and rods, feathers and shells, used as materials; the technique of twining and coiling; the forms of the designs, the elements and arrangements of designs used for ornamentation and the patterns in which these were grouped; together with the native names for the designs and patterns, and a glossary of Pomo terms dealing with basketry. The book is illustrated with seventeen plates, and two hundred and thirty-one small cuts showing the designs employed. O.
