FIGHT FOR GOVERNORSHIP CURRY, GILLETT AND BELSHAW NAMED FROM NORTH Gillett Sawing Wood, but Wise Ones Say Quien Sabe When Asked if He Will Run—Phil Stanton of Bay City is in the Fight to Stay The avowed candidacy of Secretary of State Charles F. Curry, who is out in earnest for the gubernatorial nomination, and the reticence of Governor Gillett, have intensified public interest in a gubernatorial situation which ordinarily would not arise for several months yet. Curry's Candidacy Curry is a candidate. He is also busy attending to that candidacy. He has long wanted to be Governor. Circumstances over which he had no control compelled him to be content with the berth of Secretary of State. In the direct primary law he saw a lever big enough to lift him over those untoward circumstances. He was not prepared to admit that the proposed direct primary law would be a good thing for everybody, but he did esteem it as a good thing for Curry, and did what he could to boost it along. And he could do considerable, too. As soon as the Legislature which enacted the direct primary law took itself off Curry waited on Gillett. He told the Governor that he wanted to run for Gillett's job, but that he would smother his ambition if Gillett intended to try to succeed himself. Gillett was not prepared to state what he might do. Not so with Curry. He began hustling primary votes for Curry. been said, and with little color or exaggregation, that Curry has done a favor for at least one man in every voting precinct in the State. He and his closest friends are calling on the friends who are not so close. Organization is being perfected. The latest thing in the way of organization for Curry is an association of wholesalers. A temporary organization was effected last week at a meeting held at 227 Front street. It was attended by about 45 wholesalers, chiefly cigar and liquor men. The meeting decided to perfect an organization of 200 wholesalers, who through their representative could reach effectively into every county in the state. Arrangements for a permanent organization were left to a committee consisting of Joseph Herrscher, Edward Wolf, Charles Reinhardt, Thomas 'Costello, Dr. Joseph H. Poheim, M. Wolfsohn and Eugene E. Pfaeffle. Belshaw in Fight Former Senator Charles M. Belshaw of Contra Costa county, is sounding the sentiment over the State and expects to go into the game hard at what he may decide upon as the strong time. Belshaw gave it out some time ago that he would not be the candidate for any faction, but that he would go before the whole Republican party on his record as a citizen and a public servant. Belshaw has money—lots of it. If he decides to let go of it he should make a decided stir. And Phil Stanton too Speaker Phil Stanton is convalescent at Bay City, his private real estate gold mine in Los Angeles county. He has been very sick, but is sufficiently recovered to be able to hear the clarion call of a downtrodden people insist that he become the Republican candidate for Governor. If the last event city. A second edd held this year land. And if in the matter is clearly unheard will be made the Legislature tween Los Anting out Sacramento.

He told the Governor that he wanted to run for Gillett's job, but that he would smother his ambition if Gillett intended to try to succeed himself. Gillett was not prepared to state what he might do. Not so with Curry. He began hustling primary votes for Curry. That does not dispose of Gillett. Nor does Gillett's continued silence dispose of him as a probable contender for the Republican nomination for Governor. He has tentatively fixed next spring as the time best suited to the announcement of his intentions. Meanwhile every man who holds a job by virtue of Gillett's interest or influence is putting on all the pressure he can bring to bear. They are not keen about the "wait until spring" scheme. It might be too late then for some of them to get seats on the band wagon if Gillett should declare that he would not be a candidate. Gillett Proud of Work It is known that Gillett would like to be re-elected Governor. He is very proud of the work of his administration. He has a right to be. He has enough personal pride and ambition to want to be the first Governor since the memory of man runneth not to the contrary to get a renomination and re-election. Gillett likes the Governor's job quite as well as his many friends like it for him. He believes that under the direct primary system he could be renominated and that, nominated without any convention scandal, he could be re-elected on his record as a public servant. But believing all these things, Gillett is not ready to declare himself in the race. Gillett's three years in Sacramento have been years of trouble. The summer climate of Sacramento does not agree with him. The illness of his little son and Mrs. Gillett have kept them out of Sacramento much of the time. The home life, which is the biggest factor in the happiness of Gillett, has been virtually destroyed. He has been dangerously sick himself. He cares more for his family than he does about the office of Governor. And beyond that there is another ambition, and it is not all Gillett's ambition. That ambition has money—lots of it. If he decides to let go of it he should make a decided stir. And Phil Stanton too Speaker Phil Stanton is convalescent at Bay City, his private real estate gold mine in Los Angeles county. He has been very sick, but is sufficiently recovered to be able to hear the clarion call of a downtrodden people insist that he become the Republican candidate for Governor. If through lack of organization or medium of articulation, the downtrodden do not call, Stanton is more than likely to issue one himself. He is intimately acquainted with the man whom he esteems the ideal candidate for Governor and is just idealist enough to spend a few thousands to prove that he is right. The extreme long hairs and those whose hair is not quite so long are no more than mildly excited about any of the candidates mentioned. The anti-Machine Republicans—those with both long and short fringes—will take a look at the gubernatorial situation soon after the election in November. Collectively, at least, they have no candidate in mind, but they may come through with one, if they can pick one who measures up to their standards and can also be figured as a vote getter. For Lieutenant Governor The nomination for Lieutenant Governor has not attracted a large preliminary field. It is a $4000 job now, but Warren Porter announced last winter that he did not care for more money—he would not accept a renomination. Senator Willis, some time of San Bernardino and latterly of Los Angeles, was groomed a bit for the nomination last winter. The organization was working Willis overtime then. Little has been heard about him as a candidate for Lieutenant Governor since. "Bob" Beardslee of Stockton former Speaker of the Assembly, believes that he would make a good presiding officer for the Senate, and will endeavor to have the Republican ticket graced by his name. It is not understood that the Beardslee candidacy for Lieutenant Governor will be coupled with that of Stanton for Governor. FEARS FOR FAIR Capital City Hustling to Pay Exhibition's Expenses summer climate of Sacramento not agree with him. The illness of his little son and Mrs. Gillett have kept them out of Sacramento much of the time. The home life, which is the biggest factor in the happiness of Gillett, has been virtually destroyed. He has been dangerously sick himself. He cares more for his family than he does about the office of Governor. And beyond that there is another ambition, and it is not all Gillett's ambition. That ambition leads to a seat in the United States Senate. In the event that Senator Perkins should complete the term which he began last March it is extremely improbable that he will be a candidate to succeed himself. Perkins is in failing health and may not complete his term. It is not nice, not even in politics, to figure on coffin-made vacancies, but Perkins may resign. Senatorship Figures If Gillett is re-elected Governor and Perkins resigns during the term for which Gillett is elected—that is until January, 1915—Gillett can not go to the Senate. The constitution stands between him and that seat. Gillett sacrificed a chance that was almost a certainty of election to the United States Senate when he left Congress to run for Governor. Few men familiar with the politics of California will seriously contend that had Gillett staid in Congress he could have failed of election to the Senate last January. That senatorship is one of the questions which make up the gubernatorial problem for Gillett. And let no one think he did not have a Humboldt county candidate for the United States Senate in mind when he favored the district vote plan for the direct primary law. In any event Curry believed he was entitled to a definite answer from Gillett. Failing to get that answer he is hustling for votes. His hustle is on from Oregon to Mexico. It has ing officer for the Senate, and will endeavor to have the Republican ticket graced by his name. It is not understood that the Beardslee candidacy for Lieutenant Governor will be coupled with that of Stanton for Governor. FEARS FOR FAIR Capital City Hustling to Pay Exhibition’s Expenses At a meeting of civic associations at Sacramento steps were taken to raise $20,000 by the sale of 4000 season tickets at $5 each to insure the success of the State Fair, which opened Saturday. Sacramento, for the first time in years, is thoroughly alarmed about its claim in perpetuity to the fair. When the State Fair appropriation was first brought before the Legislature at the last session, $40,000 was the estimate placed on the amount it will require to carry it through to a successful conclusion. But instead of $40,000, only half that amount was given. And the State Fair directors were told in action, if not words, that this year is to be the test. The fair must pay or be taken from Sacramento. It is with this expectation that ten special agents, employed by the civic organizations, will canvass Sacramento, selling tickets. An appeal is sounded, asking all who feel that Sacramento should be vindicated, to buy tickets. It was announced at a meeting in the Chamber of Commerce there that the State Fair appropriation at the next Legislature depends entirely on whether or not sufficient money is taken in at the sale to pay the expenses. No deficit will be met, no quarter will be given, and if Sacramento fails to assist this time, this fair will be complaint from someone or leave swallowing it and if any flies should room, so they germs from rest of the children from swarm and from one first place dry, fruit o' where flies Flies lay manure, and screens or flies away be hatched know of swarms have swarm your father Board of Board will stablemen fore you ing careless it possible sance, because clean, boxes are files.

And if Sacramento falls down in the matter of meeting expenses, it is clearly understood that an effort will be made at the next session of the Legislature to divide the fair between Los Angeles and Oakland, cutting out Sacramento. IDAHO AND MONTANA Reconnoissance into the Geologic Formations In 1905 an area comprising the "panhandle" of Idaho and an adjacent portion of Montana was reconnoitered by a United States Geological Survey party. The region is occupied chiefly by stratified rocks and are among the most ancient to be found in the earth's crust, and the study of these rocks was the principal object of the work. Incidentally some information was gathered concerning the mineral resources. As the area adjoins the famous Coeur d'Alene mining district, the question of its economic possibilities is an interesting one. It was found that the geology of this region bears much resemblance to that of the Coeur d'Alenes, and that its ore deposits, which locally contain commercial quantities of lead, silver, gold, zinc, and possibly copper, are in a large degree similar. They are by no means so rich or abundant, however, as in the Coeur d'Alene district, whose wonderful wealth in minerals probably depends on exceptionally complex faulting combined with the intrusion of syenite and monzonite. Nevertheless the region contains many prop- POLITICAL POINTERS Three Doubtful Men in Taft's Cabinet President Taft is evidently trouble with his cabinet. So much might have been expected at the start from the constitution of that body. The Secretary of the Interior had not been in office 24 hours before he withdrew from the national reserves and reopened to entry thousands of acres covering water rights of immense value. Whether those rights have been seized by the water power trust is still matter of dispute, but the secret withdrawal of the land by the secretary has created a very bad impression, which has been heightened by the knowledge that Mr. Ballinger was in private life attorney for the coal land grabbers in Alaska. Attorney General Wickersham was not long in office before he announced, with slight disguise of language, that the Roosevelt policies in relation to trusts had been abandoned by his administration, and his language is confirmed by his subsequent course. In the expressive phrase of the street there is "nothing doing." Now it is learned on the authority of Bernard N. Baker of Baltimore, that the Secretary of War, Mr. Dickinson, does not believe that the Panama railway should be used in competition with private enterprise. Mr. Baker's words are quoted: "On Saturday, May 1, I met the Hon. Jacob M. Dickinson. He stated that he thought the government had no right to use the Panama railroad in competition with the transcontinental railways, and further, that he thought no secretary of war would have the right to do it, and that it should be only done by congress." Mr. Baker was appointed by the president to investigate conditions go- RESEMBLANCE to that of the Ocean d'Alenes, and that its ore deposits, which locally contain commercial quantities of lead, silver, gold, zinc, and possibly copper, are in a large degree similar. They are by no means so rich or abundant, however, as in the Coeur d'Alene district, whose wonderful wealth in minerals probably depends on exceptionally complex faulting combined with the intrusion of syenite and monzonite. Nevertheless the region contains many properties that can be profitably developed if they are wisely managed and kept clear of legal entanglements that have hindered exploitation in some of the most promising mines. The report on this reconnoissance, by F. C. Calkins and D. F. MacDonald, is published as bulletin 384 and can be procured without cost by application to the Director of the Geological Survey, Washington, D.C. THE FLY NUISANCE Apropos of Prof. Jenkins' lecture on Sanitation at Odd Fellows' hall on Monday evening, the following facts upon the Dangerous House Fly, taken from a recently issued pamphlet, will be found of interest: Flies are the most dangerous insects we have. They are much more dangerous than bees or hornets; as these may sting you, and the sting is painful, but you soon get over the pain. Flies do much more harm than this. They walk over filthy places like sewers and garbage cans, and after eating the filthy food which they find there, they come into your house and walk on the food you eat, carrying on their feet the tiny germs which live in filth just as you live in a house. These germs are not only filthy and disgusting, but many of them cause such diseases as typhoid fever, cholera infantum and summer complaint. When the flies bring them from some dirty place to your food or leave some of them when they crawl on your face or hands, you may swallow these germs without knowing it and be taken ill with one of these diseases. So the fly that seems so harmless may do you much more harm than a bee or a hornet. Your parents should place screens at their doors and windows during the warm weather, to keep the flies out of the house. If they cannot petition with private enterprise. Mr. Baker's words are quoted: "On Saturday, May 1, I met the Hon. Jacob M. Dickinson. He stated that he thought the government had no right to use the Panama railroad in competition with the transcontinental railways, and further, that he thought no secretary of war would have the right to do it, and that it should be only done by congress." Mr. Baker was appointed by the president to investigate conditions governing traffic by the isthmian route and to ascertain why that means of transportation had proved wholly ineffectual as a means of competition to regulate transcontinental business. He found in the first place a condition of gross discrimination against American shippers, and this discovery was supplemented by the monstrous declaration of Secretary Dickinson. Where such views are held by men in authority it is not surprising that the Panama route must be left out of the count. Under Dickinson's control the Panama road might just as well be nonexistent as far as commercial purposes are concerned. Mr. Taft is not in sympathy with Dickinson's view. He has said as much to Mr. Baker, and the shippers and producers of the Pacific coast still entertain the hope that he will succeed in influencing his cabinet ministers. The country has the fullest confidence in the president, but that feeling does not include Ballinger, Wickersham, or Dickinson.—Call. OAKLEAF DIET Killing Many Cattle on the Southwest Ranges The stockmen grazing their cattle on the National Forests in the Southwest especially in Colorado and New Mexico have suffered serious losses during the present summer through the cattle eating oak leaves. In that section of the country the season has been unusually dry and grass extremely scarce. To eke out the scanty forage supply, the cattle have browsed heavily on the scrub oak which cuovers large portions of the range. Ordinarily the stock does not browse much on the oak and the little they do get, taken with other food, is not injurious, but when, as in the present season, the oak browse furnishes a large proportion of the daily food of the cattle, the results complaint. When the flies bring them from some dirty place to your food or leave some of them when they crawl on your face or hands, you may swallow these germs without knowing it and be taken ill with one of these diseases. So the fly that seems so harmless may do you much more harm than a bee or a hornet. Your parents should place screens at their doors and windows during the warm weather, to keep the flies out of the house. If they cannot screen all the rooms, they should screen those in which food is kept; and if anyone is sick in the house, flies should be kept from the sickroom, so that they may not carry the germs from the sick person to the rest of the family. Children may help to keep flies from swarming in and around houses, and from carrying germs of sickness from one person to another. In the first place, they should not buy cany, fruit or other food which is left in front of stores or anywhere else where flies may feed and walk on it. Flies lay their eggs chiefly in stable manure, and if this is left without screens or other covers to keep the flies away, great numbers will thus be hatched in every stable. If you know of stores where food is not covered from flies, or of stables that have swarms of them around, get your father or mother to write to the Board of Health about them, and the Board will make the store-keepers or stablemen obey its rules. But before you report other people for being careless and dirty and so making it possible for flies to become a nuisance, be sure that your own house is clean, and that no garbage-cans or boxes are left uncovered to attract flies. If you and all the people you know in hot weather, and there will not be nearly so much sickness and death especially among children, as now. In that section of the country the season has been unusually dry and grass extremely scarce. To eke out the scanty forage supply, the cattle have browsed heavily on the scrub oak which cuovers large portions of the range. Ordinarily the stock does not browse much on the oak and the little they do get, taken with other food, is not injurious, but when, as in the present season, the oak browse furnishes a large proportion of the daily food of the cattle, the results are serious. The oak leaves and sprouts contain a large percentage of tannic acid. The action of this acid on the stomach is extremely injurious and the losses have been unusually heavy. The symptoms of the disease are staring eyes, feverish and blistered lips and nose, the animal ceases to graze or seek for food, standing in one place for hours at a time. The coat becomes rough and the hair is all turned the wrong way, as in cases of loco poisoning. The animal does not chew its cud and in a comparatively short time it becomes too weak to remain on its feet and then death rapidly follows. So far as is known the only available remedy for this trouble is linseed oil given as a drench in amounts from one to two quarts. The oil appears to overcome the injurious effects of the tannic acid and if the disease is not advanced too far and the animal can be furnished sufficient food it will not be forced to eat the oak, it will generally recover. The best method, of course, in handling the trouble, is, if possible, to get the cattle away from the range where the oak is found and furnish them with plenty of fresh green feed to build up again.
