ately investigate the charges by James

Fort Smith railroad company, in Texas,

$1,000 stud that he was sui ject to out
rageous abuse, and that the policeman,
with a confederate, attemp tfd t, extort

of the finest vineyards on the coast, but
when converted to prohibition he had
every vine torn up and the roots burned.
He has had q remarkable and varied
career. Born August 5, 1919, in Chau-
tauqua county, n. Y, and taken in
early boyhood to Erie, Pa, he went
thence to Ashtabula, O., for IN educa-
ton, and then taught school in Ohio
and Missouri. In 1871 he was one of
the famous pioneer band to California
which has furnished so many materials
to local historian and romancer. This
was the first band of settlers to cross
the plains, and was six months on the
way from Missouri All the rest has
been told by the general himself in his
admirable sketches in the Century Mag.
azine.
lie served in the war against Mexico,
and was later brigadicr general in the
state militia, was the trusted manager
of Gen. Suttcr, n member of the consti-
tutional convention of 1910, an operator
in gold mines and finally member of
congress from 1865 to 1867. He has also
served in the state legislature and other
local offices. Meanwhile he had secured
tract of some $4,000 acres at Chico, in
Butte county, WHICH he has made one
OF the finest places in the world. He
has constructed twenty miles of ele-
giant drives through this tract, which
are open to the public six days in the
week, but on Sunday the gates are
closed.
lie was democrat till the civil war
closed, then u republican till after Gar
field was elected, and then became an
advanced prohibitionist, casting his first
vote Of that sort for ST. John In 1854.
Not the least interesting fact about him
is that, though nearly seventy-threc
years old, he has the air and bearing
and apparently the vigor of man of
fifty. His wealth is great, and he is
very popular with his neighbors of all
ranks.

For the past two Weeks II. j. Senay,
who keeps barroom on the corner Of
Colorado and Calhoun streets. has been
away in the North with his family, and
in his absence his business has been at
tended to by Arthur Wingfeld, his bar
keeper. who at night sleeps on tho sec
ond story of the saloon. About half
past one Friday morning Mr.. Wingfleld
was awakened by hearing noise down
stairs, and the scent Of fire. Hastily
giving the alarm he rushed out of his
bedroom and found the wineroom door,
opposite his own, wide open and dense
volumes OF smoke coming therefrom.
Upon investig cation he discovered that q
box containing straw bottle covers had
been saturated with oil and fred. This
he grabbed and threw out OF the window,
then hurrying down stairs he found four
different places where straw and paper
were burning. by this time the alarm
had become general, and the fire com.
pany with reels from the engine house
across the street having arrived and
the hose having been attached TO is con-
venient hydrant. all signs of fro were
soon extinguished, though OF course
some damage was done by water, which
is covered by insurance.

ASSESSMENT MATTERS.

Last week we published the valuations
placed on the merchants stocks in this
city by the Assessor and Board of
Review, since which time there has
been considerable discussion. The
firm of Johnson, Hill & Co. have two
stores and employ fourteen clerks.
The other stores of Corriveau, Kellner,
st. Amour, Greenberg and L. NJ. Nash
& Co. all together employ y clerks.
The valuation on the merchant stock of
Johnson, Hill & Co. is $10,5OO. On all
the others above mentioned together it
amounts to about the same. The
question arises, is the assessment equal
and in justice to all. We leave it to the
reader to decide for himself. The firm
of Johnson, Hill & Co. think it unfair
and unequal. We heard Mr.. n.
Johnson remark that he would trade
his stock for all the others and give
$4,000 cash besides. You can readily
see that he is firm believer that his
assessment is altogether too high. Mr..
Johnson also said that their firm,
according to the present assessment,
would pay one-twelfth of the entire
city tax. The Board Of Review, which
consisted of John Schnable, mayor; 7.
J. Cooper, assessor; and Frank Rourke,
city clerk, worked hard to make the
assessment equal as to their best
Judgment. Now if they have erred
they stand ready to give the facts which
led them to make the assessment as
published.

WATER WORKS.

! We want to be understood as favoring
water works in any city that can afford
1t. In our case we want to be placed
on record as opposing water works al
/ this time. Our local Indebtedness is
about $4,000 with two of our largest in
! stltutions exempt from taxes for a
| period of five years. The limit of our
| bonded indebtedness is already nearly
exhausted and to assume the expense
of water works now would be poor
business tact 1t was only few months
ago that our city felt too poor to spend
| few hundred dollars to provide a
place for public library which was to
be given as gift from Mr. j. d. Witter
and now some of the city fathers be-
lieye they can see their way clear to
burden the city for four times the
amount necessary than it would have
taken to provide a place for a public
library. 1t may be said one is a neces-
sity and the other a luxury. This is
true, but the library would have proven
a valuable adjunct to the educational
institutions Of our city.
The members of the common council
would certainly be doing their consti-
tuents an injustice if they 60 and pro-
vide for water works without a vote of
the people on this question. We are
not posted as to the law regulating
franchises whether common council
can give a franchise of this character
for period Of years without a vote of
the people. If it can be done without
a vote Of the people, We believe it
would only be spirit of fairness to
take vote upon the question.
We take it for granted of course that
the members of the common council
have canvassed the question closely
and believe the majority to be in favor
of water works, but from the evidence
we can CLEAN the majority are not in
favor of it at this time. They all favor
the use of water works but believe
it should be postponed for a year or
two at least. We stand ready to acquie-
see to the will of the majority, but we
want to know positively that the ma
iority is against us.
