EXPECTED Cost of Mountain Water System for Ban Francisco Estimated at $77,000,000 to Be Extend ed Over 50 Tears. WASHINGTON, Feb. 22. San Fran cisco's protracted fight for the ue of the Betch-Hetchy Valley as a reser voir site was won by 'the city today as far as the Army advisory board, on which Secretary' Fisher's decision will be based, is concerned. The board de clares that the Hetch-Hetchy project Is 120.000.000 oheaper than any other feasible project for furnishing an ade quite supply of water to the city. The water situation that will confront the communities around San Francisco Bay if the plan is adopted by Secretary Fisher, as Is probable within a week, li recapitulated by the Army advisory board as follows: "Purchase of Spring Valley Water Company, 135,000,000 to f40.000.000. . Pwer Will Be Developed. 'Further development of this com pany's system to about half the ex tent proposed by the company, 110,000.- 000. "Purchase of water systems of com munities outside of San Francisco, no estimate made. . ' . 'Construction of Tuolumne system, as proposed by San Francisco, to be extended over about 60 years, 77,- 000.000. 'Against these expenditures there will be developed 115.000-horsepower, having an estimated capitalized net value of $45.000. 000." The Hetch-Hetchy Valley is In the Sierra Mountains, within the Tosemite National Park. Oakland. Berkeley, Alameda, San Jose, Kedwood, Palo Alto and other nearby commuultles have in dicated a desire to participate in the benefits of the common mountain water supply. Water Soon Will Be In" Use. The board's report points out that In a relatively few years practically ail available water In California doubtless will be appropriated for irrigation or water power development and it will then be possible to obtain . water for municipal use only at great cose ana damages to existing communities and Industries. "In making provision for future sup ply of San Francisco and other Bay cities,'. It adds, "a source should be selected if possible that is capable of supplying the needs of the communities for the remainder of this century." ' The board estimates the population of h sun Francisco Bay region in the year 2009 at 8.6;3.000. OFFICIAL NAMES BRIBER JOHX AXHUT IS THAWS AGENT, SAYS ASTLUM HEAD.

Ton, Railway Bates Are Likely to Fall. 'v . SAX FRANcffecO, Feb. 22. John Eshleman, president of the Railroad Commission of California, flatly dis agrees with the opinion - of United States Attorney-General 'Wlckersham that under the recent Union Pacific and Southern Pacific dissolution de clsion of the United States Supreme Court the only way to carry out the court's order was to permit the sale of the stock of the Central Pacific Railroad Company, owned by the Southern Pacific, to the Union Pacific Company. While examining William Sproule, president of the Southern Pacific, to day, as to the manner in which the dis solution plans were drawn, Eshleman said: - "I don't think there Is a thing in the opinion of the Supreme Court to Justify the decision the Attorney-General has reached." Board Suggests Different Plan. The board Intimated that the disso lution might be brought about by the purchase of the Central Pacific lines from Ogden to Sacramento by the Union Pacific, with trackage rights over the Southern Pacific rails to San Francisco Bay, or by an exclusive lease of the Central Pacific to the Union Pacific Mr. Sproule said the dissolution plan would make the Southern Pacific a direct competitor of the Union Pacific. "The Southern Pacific hitherto has been an ally of the Union Pacific ovei the Ogden, route east," said Sproule. "Hereafter Jf the plans'carry. we will be in active competition over the Sun set route by way of El Paso. "We, the Southern Pacific directors, were reluctant to sell Central Pacific stock, but the Attorney-General told us that if we did not sell he would compel us to, and we saw interminable litigation ahead of us that would have impaired our credit. Under those con ditions we could not borrow money, and we've got to have it." Mr. Sproule discussed the effect the Panama Canal shipping will have on transcontinental railroad rates. . Canal Will Reduce Rates. "If ships, can carry freight at S5 a ton through the canal, be said. will probably mean a reduction of railroad rates between the Atlantic and the Pacific Of course, there will be enough freight left oyer after the ships take their share to leave us much busi ness. The railroads will handle- all the deciduous fruits and most of the canned stuffs from California. 'It must be remembered that only those ships will be maintained tin the canal run between the coasts that win carry cargoes both ways.. This is the only way trade could profitably be car ried on." President Eshleman agreed with the attorneys that the findings of the Cali fornia Railroad Commission might be presented to the United States District Court at St. Louis, when another phase of the situation Is called for a hearing there within the next few days. . Ground of Opposition Outlined. . Charles S. Wheeler - attorney for the Western Pacific Railway Company, in dicated that he would base his opposi-J tlon to the Union Pacific-Southern Pa cific dissolution scheme principally npon the contention that Its adoption would permit a violation of tne faner- man anti-trust law and would defeat the decree of the Supreme Court of- the United States that Union Pacific stock holders cannot purchase the stock , of the Southern Pacific Company. . . Mr. Wheeler said that some 300 stock. holders in the Union Pacific control 63 per cent of the company's stock, while the remaining 87 per cent is owned by nearly 2'2,000 Individuals. A syndicate of New York bankers, he said, has un derwritten the Southern Pacific stock not taken up by the "outside" stock holders in the two companies, unese number 40,000 persons. TTnder the proposed arrangement. said Wheeler, "these Union Pacific stockholders will be entitled as a mat ter of right to-about 29 per cent of the total Southern Pacific stock. Starting with this, it will be only necessary for a relatively small per centage to fall to them through the underwriting syn dicate In order to leave the domination of the Southern Pacific with them. 'Mr. Harrlman acquired this dom ination with 37 per cent. The Supreme Court formally adjudges that 46 per cent is sufficient to control any great corporation and it is safe to say, the proposed arrangement will yield, at least a dominating percentage into ine hands of the Union Pacific stockhold-- ers. This Is wnat, tne supreme i;oun has declared must not be done." ' IiAMJE DUCK,' RETORTS I.OVETT Union Pacific Chairman Says West ern Is Trying to Unload. . , OMAHA. Feb. 24'.
