Monday morning the first seriousmishap occurred on the West SideFlume and Lumber Company's narrow-gauge line when ten trucks, makingfive cars, loaded with logs, wero backedoff the track. The accident was causedby an open switch.'

The first reports of the'wreck to

reach Carters were to the effect thatall the trucks were completely demol-ished, there not being enough left tokindle a firewith.

Later more definite news was re-ceived, when itwas learned that all thetrucks were naturally damaged to someextent after rolling down an embank-ment witha mixed load of ponderouspine saw logs, and piling up ina pro-miscuous heap, though tbe wreck wasnot a:serious

The Southern'Pacific Exhibit In Paris

\u25a0' ' *Beneficial to California."'

(From the San Francisco Post.)Colonel Ben C. Truman, one of Cali-

fornia's Commissioners' to the ParisExposition, has written an interestingletter on matters pertaining to

'his of-

fice to the Los Angeles "WesternGraphic." As Commissioner ColonelTruman has had opportunities of view-ing exhidits that few persons have en-joyed, and has had means of investiga-tion that were denied others. His com-parisons are of an. instructive, nature.Inspeaking of the exnibit which theSouthern Pacific Company sent to theExposition, he says it is of the finest'quality and jwilldo the /state an im-mense amount of good. , ..

Part of Colonel Truman's letter is asfollows: •

"TheSouthern Pacific Company, un-der the management of W. H. Mills,one of the most energetic as well as oneof the most brilliant

men . living, be-sides havinga fine large salon on thoBoulevard dcs Italiens for an exhibitionroom, has secured a lotnear the Troca-dero, right inthe midst or the ColoniesBuildings, and is putting.up a largestructure thereon, to bo completed ina few weeks.

"The Southern Pacific has receivedall of its exhibits, 144,000 pounds, .ingood shape, most allof whichis alreadywarehoused in, this city or on the ex-position grounds.

"Itsexhibit willbe of great good toour State, and is one of the finest quali-ty. Mr.Flicher, who is to assist Mr.Mills, willarrive here to-day, and Mr.Mills willarrive. in London with hisfamily next week and come toParis ina few days afterward.

"Alltravelers who have reached theinterior of the Philippines agree thatthere are undeveloped resources which,under, the direction ofenlightened capi-talists with full liberty*to employ thebest machinery, would jyield immenseriches. Enough gold has been extractedby simple means to reveal great possi-bilities. There is also iron, copper andcoal. '

The timber resources, includingmahogany and teak,' are vast, and caneasily be made profitable. Up to thepresent moment the products of thefield have been the chief resources ofrevenue. Itis not unreasonable to thinkthat under the policy of this countrythe mining of gold will be carried onwith great

-results. . The enterprises

which are certain to follow the pacifi-cation of the islands willgive ample em-plojment to the natives inthe primitiveoccupations of agriculture, lumbering,mining and the like, and we shall haveno reason to fear the competition inmanufacturers of the Filipinos. Theidea that an indolent people reared in atropical climate could be induced to in-vade a northern and civilized countryto compete with its thrifty populationinindustrial work or that manufactur-ingenterprises like our own, but withcheap labor, willspring up in southernislands, could occur only to astatesmanin need of an argument in favor of atariff wallbetween the archipelago andthe Continent. If this Governmentshall adopt a sensible course the Philip-pines willprove a most valuable acqui-sition."

"Readers of any life of Nelson willrecall his Interest inthe Spanish vesselswhich carried treasure from the Philip-pines a century ago. Under the prim-itivemethods of that time gold enoughwas mined to make of those Islands therichest possession inSpain. Nomodernmethods have ever been applied there.Itwas the deliberate policyof the Span-ish Government to keep the poeple ofthe islands both poor and ignorant. Toenrich or educate them was regardedas the surest means to promote theirrebellion; hence most of the great re-sources of the Philippines remained un-developed. Spain was satisfied to drawsome $10,000,000. annually from them,besides the personal gains of the Span-ish officers at Manila. Every attemptto introduce modern appliances for min-ing or workingplantations was defeatedas a deliberate policy."

The standard of scholarship of theUniversity has been raised by theadoption of the rule that any studentwho fails to accomplish at least fivehours of work each term to'- thethorough satisfaction of bis instructorsshall be dropped from the rolls. Here-after there willbe no discriminationagainst athletes. The old rule thatthe athlete must attain a standard ofscholarship not required of otherstudents, if he would not forfeit theright to represent his University inintercollegiate contests, has been re-pealed. Arule has also been establish-ed that there shall be no sin-rial exami-nations, but at the beginning of eachterm re-examinations willbe offered inall courses, so that any student mayhave the opportunity to make hisrecord clear.

A notable event of commencementweek was the annual public jaddresslast Tuesday afternoon before tho PhiBeta Kappa society by Rev. Robert J.Burdette of Pasadena, Mr. Burdette,Professor Joseph La Conte, and fourmen and two women of the graduatingclass were on that day initiated intoPhi Beta Kappa.

Mrs. Hearst made commoncomentweek very delightful for the studentsand alumni. On commencement dayshe entertained fifteen hundred peopleat lunch at Hearst Hall. Last Mondayshe took the graduating class' byspecial train to her country place IntheLlvermore Valley, La Hacienda delPozo de Verona, thirty-fivemiles southof Berkeley, for a lunch and gardenparty. Last Friday evening the soni-ors were her guests at the commence-ment ball in Hearst Hall. Saturdayevening the graduating class gave adinner inhonor ofMrs. Hearst at thoPalace Hotel inSan Francisco.

President Wheeler dwelt upon thegreat inadequacy of the University'sIncome. The annual income, exclusiveof that of the Wilmerding School, isonly $420,000 per year. Harvard Uni-versity has five dollars of income forevery one that the University of Cali-fornia enjoys. The annual expenditureper student of the University of Cali-fornia is less than $150; at the ColumbiaitIs $400, and at the Harvard about$350. ," !

Miners Should Do More Cross Catting.

The irrigation appropriation 0f5250,-000 whichis asked for the use of theGeological Survey, would enable thatbureau to vigorously prosecute itsneedful work of getting at the factsconcerning the water possibilities ofthearid region, and making surveys toshow definitely where water can bestored, lh what quantities and howmuch there willbe to store. These areall subjects of vital interest to aridAmerica and which Congress owes ittothe West to provide for liberally.

Ihave suggested Is adopted, there willbe lawsuits and controversies betweenStates wherever a river crosses fromone State to another, which willin-volve an aggregate cost of enormousproportions, whilethe outcome cannotin any case be satisfactory. Itappearsto mo to be very largely the oldquestion of people who should be goodneighbors, fighting, over a dividingfence and wasting time and moneyenough to builda good bull-tight fenceinstead of getting together in the be-ginning and co-operating. If the irri-gation interests inquestion wouldcometogether and bend their efforts towardsgetting the government to complete itshalf finished work of reservoir survey-ings inthat section, then the matterwould be insuch condition as to enablethe parties in interest to proceed intilli-gently on a definite basis."

"There are other cases are there not,besides the Arkansas river which arelikely to cause trouble and litigation:?"

"It would necessarily have to bethrough some third disinterested partyacting as agent, and in whom bothStates would have confidence. Ibelieve that in a general inter-Statematter of this kind the federal govern-ment is the most logical and naturalparty to decide and administer such acase equitable and satisfactorily."

"How would a proper distribution 'ofwater between the twoStates be effect-ed, ifall the water possible should bestored? 1

'

• "Ifthe floods of the rivers flowingthrough these States were properlyconserved in storage reservoirs -therewould be enough water to supply allthe lands at present under, irrigation,and to vastly increase the irrigatedarea, whereas now there is a scant andunreliable supply even for that landwhich is said to be 'under irrigation.'

"

"Very expensive litigation is likelyto result from this attompt of Kansasto compel Colorado to stop using waterand Ithink when they get throughwith it, they willbe just about wherethey are to-day. Icannot but thinkthat if this expense could be devotedto the continuation of the work uponwhich the government surveyors wereengaged some years ago, a definiteknowledge would be obtained as to thepossibilities of, supplying both Stateswith a water supply on a business basis.

COSTLY LITIGATION.

. Commenting upon this litigation be-tween the two statos, Mr. F. H. Newellhaving charge of the irrigation survey-ings of the Geological Survey, madesome interesting remarks. "Thattrouble would sooner or later ensue,"Mr. Newell said, "between these twostates over water rights,' has been for along lime evident . to people familiarwith the conditions affecting them. Anumber of years ago the GeologicalSurvey undertook some important sur-veys ofColorado witha view to deter-mining the perennial water supply ofits rivers and its capacity for .waterstorage. The rivers heading in Colo-rado furnish a vast water .supply andthe sites available for reservoiring theflood waters of these streams are verynumerous. Our work enabled us tolocate and survey a largo number ofsuch sites, but there are hundreds ofothers, although right in the midst ofthe work af making these- surveys, .wewere cut off through lack of appropri-ation. .. .1,-; \u25a0 .

After years of threatening, the Su-preme Court of the United States is tobe asked to decide the case of Kansasagainst Colorado In the matter of thediversions of the Arkansas riverIn thelatter State. This river in Kansasflows through some thirteen counties,forming a valley of 2,500,000 acres,almost as rich as the valleyof the Nile.The claim made.is that Colorado hasdiverted so much of the water of theriver as to seriously damage Kansasfarmers.
