Propose Removal of Capital Likely to Cause Bitter Fight

•SACRAMENTO. Ffb. 24. — Curbstone'

J«-re Burk«" has taken 1n giving im- \
_ ret'-is to ;the."mpvement to lift the;
Ephesian". dome of the Capitol f rom j
Sacramento to- the slope of the Berkc- j
ley hills. .!

f«esons, "bur it develops that he has
..considerable realty holdings in the
;Jowd .of ; college dons and may have
;v#ry material motives !n lending the j
project his • Support.
WljatCvor ihis motives may be. how

fect in tlie; campaign being waged by
the Berkclvyites.
The ag)t»tion for the removal of tho
mpit&l w'a;' at first not accepted seri
ously, but it promises to develop into
the most vigorous fight of the session.
It has relega-led nearly every other
thing to the rear and is about the only
piece of proposed legislation that is
beinjj talked of here by others than
lawmakers. ; •'
Besides trie .influence of Burke, the
trip of- the Legislature to Berkeley '*
Saturday, fur" the purpose of looking 1
over the proffered site has enlisted
much unlocked for support to the
project.
Senator L<?avitt of Oakland has been
making- a personal canvass on the sen- :
timent of the. members of the upper i
\u25a0house, and it was said tonight th.it :
only eleven votes will be cast against
the proposal when it comes up on the
noor.
, Sentiment in the- Assembly is not so
on^-Eided in favor of the removal, but
The colons In charge of the movement
predict a big change of heart before i
the session is many days. older.
SACRAMENTO MAKES REPLY
The Sacramento Chamber of Com- ;
merce has ; sent the. following com-;
munication to F. 'W. "Foes, president
of the Berkeley Chamber of Com
merce, relative to the proposed' change
'of the Capitol site:
• Dear Sir — We a.re in. receipt of your circular
letter asking nnr co-operation "for the general
good of California in otuxice the I<egislature to
sflbTjilt to Hie people a constitutional amend
ment wtTeby Btrke>y h1:»!! Ix-come t!ie ~aj»
Its I." 'and *skinr our body to ad»pt resolutions '
urging the submission of tLe unestlon to the
people. . \u25a0
In replying .to roar letter xr» shall endenvor
to do 6o In a disinterested spirit and regardless
fit the fact that we are citizens of and repre
sentatives of • Raeram-ntc. As citizens of the
State of California we feel that the welfare
of the State has arrester, claims npon o« than
any one loesllty. and hence we should not hes
itate to sacrifice local .interests if. In so doln~
<«rt> work for the welf<o- of the commonwealth.
Th« following farfs. however. whMi we believe
can neither be, refuted nor successful ly disputed
make !t plain to ns that to comply* with tout
request would be hurtful not only to the "city
of Sacramento and the Sacramento and San
Joaqula valleys, bet also to the State of Cali
fornia as a whole:
CLIMATE NOT UNHBALTHY
tn the first place, your communication states
that Sacramento "if unsiilted in climate." This
statement; we denounce as untrue and most
emphatically resput. As you know, the climate
of the city of Ssrraroento j« the climate of the
two great valleys <>r California, the Sacramento
and the San Joa<jn!a. To sty that Sacramento
1* uc2t for the purpose* of » State capital la to
My that the vast ar<-a Camprtidng the rrext val
leys of the State are nuadapted to residence and
business purpose*. The people o f the Sacra
mento and Joaquin valieyß hare during the
pest decade or more Kprnt tens of thounanOs of
dollars «nuu*!lj la adtertisUis the statement
throughoc: this cor.ntry and abroad that the
climate of these valley* I» one of the finest in
tto* world. - To admit your statement U to de
nounce the people of the Sacramento and San
Joaqula valley* s« public liar*, and to charge
them with having willfully misrepresented the
character of tlieir climate to the people of the
world.
To respond fevorablr to yonr request for unb
mi«*ina to the people of tlie f»ursiinn of capital
removal means tifat tbe-raeuil»crii of the legis
lature shall 6ay to the whole world that they
as representatives of the people, believe that
all the reasons you give In favor of Berkrlev
.ere lacking U Sacramento and the great valler'a
of the Btete.
A* to the correctness of yonr charge that the
climate of Sacramento In nnSt we cball let the
following recorts sriealc for themselves We
<jaote from the statistic* as published by the
State Board of Trade for the year 190). wherein
we compare Sacramento and 0.-.U'and (tbe latter
beicg the nearest city to Berkeley from which
we coi-.ld obtain data), and we find:
Sacramento — Annual mraa temperature, Co I*
total rainfall, 20.99 Inches ; number rafoy days,
78; dear' day*. 203; partly cloudy days, 76;
clnndy dty», S3. ,
Oakland — Annuxl mean twnperatnre. 57.0; to
tal rainfall, 33.08 Inches;' number of rainy days,
62; clear days. 15<S; partly cloudy days,- 08;
cloody days. ill.. .
DEATH RATE IS LOWER
' In addition to the foregoing facts, we ' quote
from the of£c!at records. tbe anneal death rate
for 1906 per thousand, as follows: Oakland.
J&.06; Bacramento, 12. . . \u0084 : • .
- To say, as yon <Jo, that the present Capitol
building is "outgrown,- worn out \u25a0 and ancredit
able." Is a statement that Is absolutely false.
Tbe present building is one of toe finest Capitol
structures In the United States, and when the
alterations are completed (now going on :Under
the appropriation already made), it wlU.fumich
ample room for all purposes of our State.gov
ernment. It will be . one of ' tbe , most . beautl
rol bcUdings In the State, modern in all respects
- and one that could not be duplicated today for
lm.tfcaa f7.000,W0. Add to this $ 1,000.000,
Photo of Grounds Where New Capitol Will Be Located if Berkeley Succeeds in Its Efforts to Secure Its Removal From Sacramento
; the Taluo of Capital Park, which would revert
i In the case of removal to the city of Sacramento.
\u25a0 and the extent pf tlie Tain* of the proposed
ihandoninent can be partially understood. Onr
nnlr frulde for the future Is the exptrience of the
i past, and this experience shown tbnt the erect
ing of great public bulldlnjts In modern days
means au oatla.r out of all proportion to the
iultial estimate. We hare proof of this In the
experience, for example, of the building of the
State capltols at Albany, N. V.. at Harrisburg.
Ta., and the City Hull in Philadelphia. The
initial estimate for these buildings wan between
two and four millions of dollars, the final cost
of each was ten millions and upward, and the
time of construction was nearer ten years than
two; meanwhile, the ofttcial bridles were sub
jected to great aunoyar.ce and inconvenience for
the want of proper accommodations.
It Is pointed out us one reason for the re- I
moval of the capital to Berkeley that the State I
cow pays in San Krancifro rentals amounting to
i about j'JO.OOO a year which could be saved If
the capital wa« noted to Berkeley. Under the
laws of the Stale all of .these officials should
make their headquarters at the capital. They
do not do bo now, nor is tbeie any guarantee |
that you can five to the people of California
that these officials will do so even should the
I capital be removed to Berkeley. . ;
SACRAMENTO XOT ISOLATED
It Is not true that Sacramento is remote from
the main movements of the people, as you
claim. There are six distinct railway lines cen
tering in Sacramento at present, five additional
lines aftnally building and two projected for the
Immediate future, making it the greatect rail- i
way center in the State, and the greatest west
of -Denver, Colo.
You say in yonr communication that the State
capital at Berkeley would lx» visible from every
Incoraiug Khlji. Lvt us remind yon that in the
event of war with a foreign cation, the first
point of attack t>n tl«e Pacific Coast would be
Sau Franclwo and its vicinity, and the fir^t
point of attsck In Ran Francisco and vicinity
wonld be. as you point ont, the exposed Capitol,
which would make it possible for the enemy
to reduce to ruins In au hour an investment of
tnillicns on the part of the State.
In view of nil these facts we are utterly at a
lots to see any advantage that Is to be gained
by the people of the State as a whole by In
dorsing Uie movement you represent; bnt on the
contrary, we can st'c ' nothing bet needless and
excessive taxation for nn indefinite number of
years. We feel sure that you, in common with
ourselves, realUe that the State is sorely In need
of many public betterments In the. way of
schools, asylums and other essential public utili
ties,especially on account of the late catastrophe,
which the State must meet, and that our great
university at Berkeley Is seriously cramped In
Its possibilities because the State cannot afford
to appropriate the amount which. In the Judg
ment of its representatives, is absolutely essen
tial for Us proper maintenance. It teems to iv
\u25a0d absurdity wtrn there are so many urgent
and pressing needs, to ask the Legislature to
submit to the. people a proposition which Is In
the nature of a needless expenditure and which
in the judgment of disinterested people will look
like an act of folly.
WORK OP REALTY DEALERS
Ycnr letter would lead uninformed readers to
Infer that this movt-ment for the removal of the
capital from Sacramento to Berkeley is prompted
by a. general desire on the part of the people of
California, when as a matier of fact you know
that this movement was Initiated by a coterie
of Berkeley real estate speculators who se
cured control of a large tract of land north of
Berkeley, have cut It tip Into town lots and
have been laying plans for weeks, and perb&ps
months. In cdvance for making this capital re
moval a part of their real estate campaign, and
that all the Interest that has recently b«en
aroused in this matter in purely artificial, has. been
very cleverly Mrorked up by* those who are so
directly and so selfishly Interested In this move
ment, and who are striving to make the members
of the Legislature and the people of California
merely a tall to their real estate town-lot kite.
Gegretting that you should have been led to
use arguments in your contention which unavoid
ably must reflect on the great valleys of tbe
State and thns Injure the best Interests of Cali
fornia at home and abroad, we are.
Yours truly.

BERKELEYITES CONFIDENT
BERKELEY, Feb. 24.— Turn their
eyes in any direction they will,; the
people of Berkeley who are committed
to the task of making their city the
seat of the' State government can see
nothing but rosy light, with fair winds
to fill their *sailß while they navigate
the political waters which must >be
traversed before Berkeley becomes the
capital of the State. This feeling Is
part of the aftermath _of th«, visit of
the Legislature on Saturday. . The hun
dreds of prominent men who inspected
the site for the new capitol buildings
> were so palrjibly impressed with the
beauty and availability of. the grounds
for, the purpose that Berkeley's faith
in her destiny as the capital city was
mightily/ strengthened. \ The launching
of the capital ship was an indubitable
success.i and those who know, the charts
say that* the voyage now to jbe : taken
by the Berkeley men in quest of a capi
tal will certainly result in the bringing
to this. city of the sought for prize.
Berkeley men will be in attendance
at the Legislature tomorrow, watching
the fatft'of'tho bill which provides' for
the submission to the people, of , the
question of .changing the capitak from
Sacramento to Alameda \u25a0 County. The
bill 'will have: its first reading tomor
row. A canvass of the Legislature; by
citizens of this county has ... shown to
the satisfaction of Berkeley that the
votes , necessary 'to secure ; the j passage
of the bill will be ready "when the bill
comes ; up for a- vote. : There- is ap
parently no serious opposition to- the
bill. . -
Berkeley men have ; noted, the . pro r
* V \u25a0 . . ."•'\u25a0,.
THE SAN FRANCISCO CAT/Iv MONDAY, FEJBRUARY -25, 1907;
posals of other cities, Including Mo
desto and Santa Cruz, that the capital'
be moved to such places, and are not
perturbed by the proposals. Instead j
the Berkeley citizens who are in charge i
of the capital transfer project rather, '
appear to welcome the offers which I
other cities make to secure the capital.
The logio of the situation appears to I
be this: If other cities call for tho re
moval of the capital they are bound to :
show that Sacramento Is an unsuitable
place for the seat of government, which
is not a difficult task. When that is
proved, thon Berkeley is willing to let
Its claims be compared with those of
such cities as Santa Cruz, Modesto or
others. Berkeley's arguments -all call
attention to advantages which no other
city except a city in this region can
offer, and when the campaign of edu
cation Is in full swing throughout the
Stale, as It will be this wc£k, citizens
; of California: will be -told In. clear, ac
curate terms exactly why. Berkeley =be
, lieves the. State capital could be profit
ably transferred to Berkeley, and why
It should be done, and done as soon as
possible.
The publicity committee Is prepar
ing matter for general circulation
throughout the State, and if the argu
ments contained In the committee's
literature do not convince a majority of
the voters that the State will be bet
ter and more economically served 'and
every Interest be more properly cared
for with the capital at Berkeley than
at any other point, then those who are
behind the project to move the capital
will not be discontented. Their, fight
is 'based on reason, sense and ' good
business policy, they say, and if that
sort of fight does not get' the approval
of the State, then nobody in Berkeley,
Oakland or Alameda will be disheart
ened.

NEW ROAD TO CONNECT
SONORA WITH TONOPAH
Scarcity of Mining Timber
Prompts Syndicate to
Make Outlay
The great need for timber to be used
in the mines of Nevada was respon
sible for a deal, recently closed, by
which the old Mono timber r<sld, a
thirty r mlle narrow-gauge line running
eastward from the Summit, near So-
Nora, in Tuolumne County, changed
hands. The syndicate which has taken
over the ancient road will tear up the
old rails and build a broad-gauge rail
road on the same right of way, to
connect with the Southern Pacific jn
the vicinity of;,Tonopahi. -» '
One of theVmost- difficult problems
confronting the mine operators ,in the
gold-, fields of. Nevada ia to 'secure tim
ber for mining at a price which -will
allow a fair profit in working low
grado ores. As there is little \u25a0 or' no
timber native to the mining regions
and the cost of transportation by
wagon is so great that timber often
costs $50 and $60 a thousand laid down
at the mine, capital has recently been
attracted to railroad construction and
much of the money comes from the
pockets of the mine owners themselves.
The new line will open up .a long
neglected- territory in Nevada. It will
connect with the Sierra Railway, a
distance of sixty miles, ( by an electric
system, which is projected by the same
interests which have acquired, the.
Mono road.
INJURED ON CROWDED CAR

Wire*-
Every nerve is a live wire
connecting some part of the _
body with the brain. They arej J
so numerous that if you pene-#-.jj
trate the skin with the point ot
a needle you will touch ?. nerve
and receive a. sho-^k — pain it is
• called. Aches and pains come
from a pressure, strain or in-
jury to a nerve ; the more prom-
inent the nerve the greater the
pain. When the pain come 3
from a larjre nerve it is called
Neuralgia
whether it be the facial nerves,
or the heart, stomach, sciatic
or other prominent \ nerve
branch. To stop pain, then,
you must relieve the strain or
pressure upon the nerves.
Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills do
this.
