WASHINGTON. Dec. 8. — For
urelve ..ears. Jwst so long as the city
of San Francisco has aougnt to ac
quire Hetch-Helchy Valley as a site
for a reservoir for its water supply,
j.,*t so long has William Randolph
Hearst fought with all the power of
hie great papers to get this pure w:i-
e r supply for the hundreds of thou-
*ands of inhabitants of that city, an 3
to his campaign more than to any
other one thing is due the victory Just
wo n.
In season and out of season the
Hearst papers, from Boston to At-
anta, from New York to San Fran-
rluco, have urged editorially that Con
gress give the people of San Francisco
the right to convert the mosquito-
ridden. inaccessible valley of Hetch-
Hetchy Into a reservoir for the im
pounding of the pure mountain
itreama, to safeguard the health not
only of the citizens of the city, but of
the millions who pass through It an
nually on their way to other destina
tions.
The closing weeks of the campaign
were marked by two great achieve
ments carried out under the direct
personal orders and supervision of
Mr. Hearst, which struck tremen
dous blows in behalf of the project
and which illustrate better than any
thing ever done before in any coun
try of the world Just what is meant
by newspaper enterprise.
Special Edition of Paper Aids
These were the special Hetth-
Hetchv edition of The San Francisco
Examiner, published in Washington
:ast Tuesday, and the preparation of
* great petition from the citizens of
San Francisco and the residents of
the contiguous territory appealing to
Gongress to grant the plea.
Few persons outside the newspaper
profession realize just what it cost in
money, energy and talent to prepare
and publish the special Hetch-Hetehy
edition of The Examiner, which pre
sented to the members of the Senate
!n graphic form the facts in the argu
ment of San Francisco and the falsi
ties in the argument of the water
power Interests which oppose the
grant.
When Mr. Hearst issued orders for
the preparation of the special edition,
he Indicated that no expense should be
spared to make it the most impres»siv«'
publication that possibly could be
compiled.
Mr. F>dward L. Hamilton, veteran
of the San Francisco office, was
rushed East with a special staff of
sides, every one of whom was thor-
oughlv conversant with the situation.
Artists and men skilled In preparing
"copy” and making up newspapers
were hurried to Washington from
New York. The entire Washingt>n
bureau of the Hearst service, num
bering about 25 men. were placed at
Hamilton's disposal. The work of
preparing the edition, Including writ
ing the articles, gathering the inter
views, makine sketches and cuts and
printing the edition was accomplished
in about three days.
On Tuesday morning, four days be
fore the date set for a vote on the bill,
every member of the Senate found on
his desk in his office a copy of this
special edition, on the first nage of
which appeared a sufficient reason for
its being, and a reproduction of a
notice issued by the company which
now supplies San Francisco with wa
ter warning the people to conserve
every drop, as "the water consump
tion now exceeds the dependable sup
ply available for distribution."
Pleas by Noted Persons.
Accompanying this warning, on the
same page, were statements by Vice
President Marshall, Secretary of
State Bryan, Secretary of the Inte
rior Dane and Secretary of Agricul
ture Houston, urging that San Fran
cisco’s appeal be not heard in vain.
The remaining fifteen pages of the
special edition were filled with simi
lar statements by noted engineers.
State and city officials of California,
members of Congress and other men
and women high in public life, all to
the same effect.
Mr. Hear st’s San Francisco Ex
aminer. which has been, of course, a
devoted advocate of the Hetch-Hetchy
reservoir site for many years, lent a
great stimulus to the fight for the
adoption of the Hetch-Hetchy bill in
the preparation of the petition above
referred to.
In repeated editorials The Exam
iner asked its readers to write per
sonally to members of the Senate,
urging upon them the imperative ne
cessity of a water supply for San
Francisco and its neighborhood, and
requiring them to vote for the Hetch-
Hetchy bill.
As a result of this appeal, thou
sands of letters were sent to Wash
ington, among them letters from the
Vrnost influential citizens and organi
zations in the State.
As a final argument to lay before
the Senate The Examiner had print
ed and circulated throughout San
Francisco and all the territory tribu
tary to the metropolis a petition to
the Senate of the United States call
ing for its favorable vote upon the
bill giving San Francisco the only
available water supply adequate to
its present and future needs.
* Signatures Pour in.
The petition was first circulated on
Saturday, November 22. Citizens
everywhere seized the opportunity to
sign it with enthusiasm. A minia
ture petition was printed each day in
The Examiner. Readers were asked
to sign this and return by mail.
Every mail following the first pub
lication of this petition brought hun
dreds of signatures.
Wednesday, November 26, was the
last day upon which th£ petition was
at the disposal of citizens. Although
the five days during which the peti
tion was in circulation included two
holidays, Sunday and Jupipero Serra
Day, a state holiday, more than 15,000
signatures were affixed.
This petition, signed by the Gov
ernor of the State and the Mayor of
San Francisco, was brought to Wash
ington in charge of Mayor Rolph, of
San Francisco, and was laid before
the Senate.
The mass of signatures affixed to
the petition indicates how earnestly
i the people of California desire this
water supply for San Francisco, for
which that city has been fighting for
twelve years.
Even’ class of citizen was repre
sented among the names on the peti
tion. Entire communities remote from
San Francisco, which rely upon the
metropolis for their welfare and de
velopment, signed the petition en
masse.
Civic Organizations in Plea.
Clubs, social and improvement or
ganizations were represented on the
petition in a body, through the names
of their presidents and secretaries.
The people of San Francisco and
the communities tributary to it real
ized in The Examiner petition an
opportunity to make a direct and per-
| sonal appeal to the Senate for the
1 water supply of which San Francisco
| stands so greatly in need.
A great number of names were
signed to the petition in Oakland and
the cities across the bay from San
Francisco, thus refuting claims late
ly made by Senator Works, in the
name of the people of Oakland, that
that city was not fully protected by
Hetch-Hetohy bill.
Signatures of a great many mem
bers of the Sierra Club were found on
the petition as a protest against the
opposition of a section of the clifb to
the reservoir site in the Hetch-Hetchy
Valley. In addition to signing the
petition, many members of the Sierra
Club wrote letters to The Examiner
vigorously denouncing the theory that
the formation of a lake in the valley
would mar its beauty and make it
less attractive to nature lovers.

It might be a pretty good thing to
begin the week with a little reminder
of the Empty Stocking Fund of The
Georgian and Sunday American, and
of what it means.
For a whole week now you have
heard every day about the ambitious
plans arranged to make it attractive
to give. You have heard of the tango
party that will be held at the Wine-
coff Hotel after the theater Monday
night. You have heard of the all-
star matinee Friday. You have heard
of the dolls to be dressed.
You have heard these things until
you are about to fall into the danger
of forgetting what it is all about.
What do you think of a word just
now of the spirit behind it all?
Suppose we talk to-day of little
Johnny Merritt, who never dreamed
of a tango party, and whose theatri
cal experience has been limited to a
wistful inspection of the bright-col
ored lithographs that stand on the
outside of all moving picture shows,
and who thinks of Santa Claus only
to feel a little dull ache in his heart,
an ache that has a whole lot of envy
in it because he hears the other boys
and girls-talk happily of the Christ
mas that will be here soon.
Dreads Day Others Welcome.
Johnny can’t conceive of Christmas
and happiness together. Christmas,
he thinks, will be a day like last Sun
day—a cold, wet, gray day, with no
fire inside the house, and no sun out
side, a day made miserable by a
lingering hunger for goodies to eat.
and by his child whimper for some
thing that he wants, without know
ing what it is. , M .
A stocking with just the toe full of
candv and a single orange would sat
isfy that hunger A horn or a wood
en gun, or——oh, no, it could never be
—a cowboy suit, would quiet that
pitiful whimper.
And a whole pair of shoes and
warm stockings probably would have
the effect of brightening the whole
winter for him.
That’s a moral effect, you know,
because contentment makes a good
boy, where di.«oontentment would
make even a 6-year-old person surly
and cross, and a fruitful field for the
germ of bitterness.
Johnny, ragged little fellow, can t
arouse much cheerfulness by his
thoughts of Christmas. But the
Christmas Editor is here to tell you—
that is. if you won’t tell Johnny—thai
the little boy is in for a great sur
prise.
Atlanta People Responding.

Atlanta people are listening to the
appeal of the Christmas Editor, that
person is proud to inform you. And.
as this story has told you once before,
a number of arrangements have been
made so that it will be attractive to

It will be a glorious affair. It will
be epoch-making, because, if all the
plans work out, Atlanta will see

the Empty Stocking h und and will be
devoted to purchasing the dream that
little Johnny is afraid won’t come
true. •
Don’t Forget the Dolls.
Surely you can make your contri
bution through this channel, and be
glad of it, no matter if you be the
crustiest man alive.
Isn’t it being made attractive for
you to give?
And if you be a. woman, with a
woman's heart for the dear, dainty
task of sewing pretty things, it must
be attractive, indeed, that you have
an opportunity to dress the Christ
mas dolls. There are still a number
of these dolls at The Georgian and
Sunday American office on Alabama
street that you can dress, if vdu want
to, for the poor children’s Christmas
presents. A great opportunity to
help thwart the Empty Stocking
specter.
But never mind the attractive part
of this thing. There is your duty
Everybody has a duty at Christmas
time, to do something, probably only
a very small something, to make the

BOSTON, Dec. 8.—Andrew Carne

with the exception of $15,000,000, ac
cording to a Wall street correspond
ent for a Boston news bureau.
The story is that Carnegie had
planned to save $25,000,000, but found
that as some, of the, trustees of his
various funds differed with him on
some of his ideas, he was forced to
take $10,000,000 from his private for

about certain bequests.
He has provided handsomely for

Great Incohonee Carl Foster, of
Bridgeport, Conn., and visiting chiefs
of the Improved Order of Red Men
now In conclave here were shown At
lanta Monday morning pending the
completion of preparations for the
great celebration Monday night.
This is the first time the chief of
the national body has visited this city.
He expressed himself as surprised
and highly pleased with Atlanta.
”1 have heard a great deal of this
city," said Mr. Foster. “Wherever I
travel—and my duties for the Re 1
Men carry me to every part of the
United States—I am told of the won
ders that Atlanta has produced. It
Is all true.”
Other Officials He
On the tour with the great incohc-
nee were a number of officials of th?
State organizations, including George
A. Treadwell, of New Orleans, past
great sachem of Louisiana, now gr°at
chief of records of that State; Charles
F. Stroberg, of Macon, great sachem
of Georgia; J. F. Bush, of Macon,
great guard of the forest; J. R. Mill
er, of Marietta, great senior saga

ers.
An outburst of applause was ac
corded Judge R. T. Daniel, of Griffin,

body, when he appeared at headquar

The present incohonee in appear
ance resembles more closely a Ger

of an organization numbering 500,006
men. Mr. Foster is large of stature,
with bushy head crow ned by a cap,
and he wears spectacles.
His work as head of the Red Men
has met with marked success De
spite the xactions of this great organ
ization, however, he conducts also a
large business in his Connecticut
home.
When asked to say something of
the future of the order, the great In
cohonee “bubbled over.”
Lodge Growing Rapidly.
"We are gaining strength every
day," he declared. ’’At present the
organization never was in better con
dition, in my opinion. Reports to me
from all over the nation show this,
and more—they show a most wonder
ful future.
“The order of the Red Men. you
must know, is not an Indian institu
tion. Its basis is patriotism. The
organization is in no way interested
in politics, and takes no active stand
at any time in political affairs, except
for* the good of our country.”
The motor car tour of the city wai
scheduled to last from 10 until 2
o’clock, and at 6 o'clock Monday even
ing It was planned to form a double
line of Red Men. each with a red
light fuse, from the new wigwam m
Central avenue to the Hotel Anslev,
through which triumphal gauntlet the
guest of honor and the high chieftains
of the order will drive in motor cars

Two more remarkable cases we r e
brought to the attention of the Health
Teacher when here, which serve to
prove that worms are the cause of
over 60 per cent of all ailments of
children, whicn has been the conten
tion since the Hea’th Teacher has been
here. Mrs. A. L. McClendon, living at
176 Kelly street, has three children,
one six years old, one ten years old
and one thirteen. All were in a weak,
puny, run-down condition, restless at
night, nervous and fretful, and were
listless, not having ambition to even
play They would eat very little food,
and were the source of much anxiety
to their fond mother Mrs McClendon
procured a treatment of Quaker Ex
tract from Coursey & Munn's drug
store, and. after giving It to her babes
for about two weeks, says they are all
as red-cheeked and rosy, and full of
real life, as any children ahe ever saw
They eat almost anything they can
get and are gaining strength right
along One of them, the oldest, ex
pelled a large number of stomach
worms soon after beginning the use of
] Quaker Extract The other case is
that of the dear little flve-year-old
daughter of Mr E Robinson, living at
l 463 Bass streer. who is a motorman in
this city. His little one. who had been
complaining with pains in the stomach,
restlessness and languid feeling, ex
pelled a great stomach worm, over 7
Inches In length. With this proof that
their child was the victim of these
parasites, the parents began to give
the little girl worm syrups, candies,
powders and various parasite expellers
(so called), but there were no more
worms of any kind passed. Still the
child became worse right along The
father got a bottle of Quaker Extract
from Coursey & Munn's drug store,
and after taking but four doses his
baby passed over 24 large stomach
worms, averaging about four inches in
length, and all of which were alive.
This had been the entire cause of her
very alarming condition, and Quaker,
by expe ling the cause, bad created a
complete cure for all her symptoms.
Now, If your children are pale, puny,
restless at night and nervous during
the day, picking at their nose, gritting
their teeth, listless, and having pains
In the stomach, with a poor appetite,
don't you think you owe it to them
