HEARTS WILL BE HAPPY O-MORROW,
All Through the Noble Work of the
Salvation Army,
supplemented by the Generosity OF
the People of the Capt.
tai City.

Everything is nearly ready TOR
great time for the poor on Christmas
| Day. said Captain Lewis Of the Sal
walton Army last night.
Money, clothing and toys continue to
pour in, also applications for help. The
latter have kept our people very busy
| investigating and obtaining particulars.
One hundred and nineteen names are
| already on our books as o. K. These,
with what came in to-day too late to be
| investigated, will bring the total num-
Der who will receive presents from the
monster Christmas tree up to 100.
This is about fifty more than we ex-
pected, but as the subscription list has
reached the $500 mark we will be able
to supply them. Each child holding a
ticket will receive a new pair of shoes, a
pair of pants (or dress, as the case may
call for, toys-according to the guam
tity that are brought in-also a bag of
candy and nuts.
There will be no excuse said the
Captain, gleefully, for any man,
woman or child not having a turkey
dinner with mince pie and plum pud-
ding on Christmas Day in Sacramento,
for the Salvation Army is preparing to
furnish all corners with one, absolutely
free, and no questions asked.
"Of course it should be understood
that no one who can afford to buy his
or her own dinner should crowd out
| someone who cannot. On the other
hand, it is not expected that those who
come to the dinner should be in absolute
poverty. For example, the man who is
working for small Wages-just enough
to make both ends meet-and who is
not able to buy a turkey and the other
requisites for Christmas feast for his
family, is he not deserving of one? Yesl
and if they come to Smiths Hall on
Christmas Day they shall have one. Or,
if they would prefer to have it at home,
it shall be sent them, on receipt of an
order at S21 street. An express wagon
will be on hand to attend to all such
orders on Christmas Day. Already a
number of orders are in from those too
cid (or rich) to come.
THE children who miss seeing the
great Christmas tree, with its fine load
OF presents, and Santa Claus distribut-
ing them to the ticket-holders, will miss
a treat, so they had better all be on
hand at p. m. All children, rich or
poor, are invited, and if there is any
room left the grown people can have a
share in the sights and listen to the
music and singing.
.Adiutant S. Wood will have charge
of the proceedings all day Christmas,
also the great praise service at o'clock
All are welcome"

A Firm Which Deserves to Find Some

It is but right that people when pur-
chasing holiday meats should remem-
Der Mohr & Yoerk, the big hearted
philanthropists who are doing so much
to relieve the distress among the unem-
ployed This firm should find a snug
balance of profit for the years business
ir it's Christmas stocking. They give
special attention to their family trade
and a single glance at the fat beeves,
juicy pork and mutton in their popular
market, 1926 j street, explains the Sc
cret of their success. The market and
packing houses are supplied with all
modern appliances for handling meats
in scientific and healthful manner.
Their hams, bacon and sausage are sold
all over the coast and have achieved
most enviable reputation. People have
come to know that anything that bears
the name of Mohr & Yoerk is strictly
hrst-class, and their large and increas-
ing business bespeaks the success of

"ANTI-RAILWAY ROT"


Calls III.
(From the Placerville Democrat.)
The Wave" of last week has very op-
perfume and pertinent comments on the
order OF the United States Circuit Court
allowing the Government, as creditor of
the Central Pacific Railroad Company,
to intervene in the suit of the Southern
Pacific Company VS.. the Railroad Com
mission. 1t puts "the intermeddling,
dissatisfied, agitating ass, who has for
years harassed this corporation-''the
fellow who thinks himself a mass-m meet
ing and considers his hoarse bellowings
for rate reductions the voice of the peo-
ple'-and 'fthe anti-railroad dema gogue
and sensational press" all ON the stand,
and asks them how it strikes them?
1t asks the perspiring blatherskites
who have beloved so long and loud
about the mortgage lien of the Govern
ment who are now protecting it, they
or the much-abused and belied railroad
people? 1t demonstrates beyond all
question that their pretended solicitude
for the imperiled rights and remedies of
the Nation and the State always was
and is venal fraud upon both But
assuming that even the most palpable
fraud must be proved and never pre-
sumed, it arraigns The whole rabble of
demagogues before an unbiased and
fearless Circuit Judge, and puts their
absurd pledges and pitiful protestations
of honesty in evidence against them
Thus by judicial investigation and de-
cision we are to have an end of the bad
smelling anti-railway rot that has so
long been a stencil in the nostrils of the
people. Still better, and more of it. a
Matchmaking, mongrel Railroad Com
mission, created by and for a sand-lot
mob, is on trial for its life.

Appointments of the Mayor Confirmed
"A Question of Telephones to
be Settled.

The City Board of Trustees met IN
regular weekly session last night, Trus-
tees Lawton, Wachhorst, Kent, Davis,
Bragg, Devine, Leonard, Tozer ana
Pennish being present.
The following messages from the
Mayor were received:
LICENSE SLOT MACHINES.
TO the Board of Trustees: l am in
formed that the city of San FRANCISCO
has in effect an ordinance regulating
the use of what is commonly known as
nickel-in-the-slot machines, and pro-
viding a license of 81 per month for
each one in use The same kind of an
ordinance is in force in other cities
At the present time there is an ordi-
nance on our ordinance books prohlb-
iting the use of these machines, but l
think it is well to regulate them and
provide for a small license.
l have requested the Corporation
Counsel to prepare an ordinance upon
this subject repeating the one now
In force, providing a license Tor the
use of such machines in the future,
and I will present the same to you at
your next meeting. Respectfully sub
mitted, B. U. STEINMAN, Mayor.
To the Board of Trustees: Pursuant
to a resolution of your board creating
the same, passed December z, 1880, L
hereby nominate and by and with
your consent 1 hereby appoint E. P.
Filand to be a special policeman for
the district bounded by M and and
Front and Fifth streets. Respectfully
submitted,
B. u. STEINMAN, Mayor
To the Board of Trustees: I herewith
transmit to your honorable body, with
my disapprovaI indorsed thereon, the
contract between the city and j. w.
Casper and G. A. Long for the running
of the Y-street pump from the 10Th of
December, 1895, until the 1st of jan
uary, 1896.
My reasons for disapproving the same
are as follows:
1. That it was the duty of your board
to have let a new contract before the
expiration Of the present one.
2. That the charter requires that all
contracts should be let to the lowest
bidder after proposals have been ad-
vertised for.
3. Because the amount agreed to be
paid under said contract for said time
Is excessive. Respectfully submitted,
B U. STEINMAN, Mayor.
To the Board of Trustees: On De
cember 10, 1895, approved Ordinance
No. -, entitled "An ordinance to reg
ulate the digging or removal of por-
tions of the roadway or sidewalk of
public streets and places. and providing
a penalty for breach of the ordinance" "

time in which to report.
Devine said that he had examined the
ground and did not think there was
any necessity Of purchasing additional

longing TO the city on the west side of

and funds are low

TWO GAMES OF TAN"
They Are the First Ever Run in the
White Sections CT the City in its
History.

A new departure in gambling at
Helena was taken Saturday evening
when Tom Graham started game
known as sian tam" in the big sal
oon at 80 South Main Street. 1t
was the first game of that kind ever
conducted in the city outside of
Chinatown. The tables were crowd.
ed all night, and it was said that
the players had some the best of it
when it closed.
Following Crahan's example, Chas.
Staunchfeld opened tan game in
his place, at llS South Main. Mon
day night. The opening was hailed
with delight by number of Chinese
residents, but they did not succeed
in getting the best of it, on the
whole, and there was small margin
over expensesleft this morning when
the cash was counted.

ATTACHED FOR $4,000
Three Suits Against Tho Kenyon-

nearly $4,000 at the instance Of

filed about half past : o'clock. One
was by w. A. Clark & Bro, bankers
for soS,257.37, money loaned to and
laid out on behalf of the defendant
company at its special instance and
request Interest at the rate of 10
per cent per annum, as agreed on at
the time the advances were made. is
asked. The debt was contracted d
prior to Dec. 81, 1895. The second
of the suits was brought by the Cal,
ifornia Powder works for S6,923. -
for merchandise sold prior to Dec,
II last. The third suit was by the
National Tabe works Of Now Jersey.
for 81, ,553.99, for goods sold prior to
Dec = last. Writs Of attachments
were sued out at once and placed in
the hands of the sheriff for service.
The three attachments aggregate
$50, 0,735.21.
1t is understood that outside cred
itors of the company had been writ
ing to attorneys in Butte for some
time past and making preparations
to tach. The bank. which was the
only local creditor, learning this,
filed its suit to protect itself. Out
side Oft the amount represented by
the three. suits filed that night, the
Indebtedness of the company is said
to be not over $4,000. 1t is all due
to out of town concerns.
The attached property is the stock
in the Main street store. that in the
warehouse at the Northern Pncifc
depot and the powder magazines and
contents. 1t is believed the prop
erty will realize nearly, if not quite
enough to satisfy the attachments.

Up to 1890 the United States had
got back ten times as much as it
paid for the country. The prospects
for the future are even more brilliant
than what have been realized in the
past. The salmon canneries in diff
erent parts of Alaska represent
capital of more than four million
dollars. They export more than
three million dollars worth of salmon
every year. Cod fishing is another
big industry, and it is believed
large part of the Alaskan islands
will be available for stock raising,
But the most valuable feature Of the
country is now turning out to be its
gold mines. The rich placer depos
its on the Yukon river constitute the
best gold fields in Alaska. The
district is producing now about one
million dollars worth of gold Il year,
and the prospects for the future are
exceedingly encouraging. Accord
ing to the survey made by England
and Russia in 1926, this valuable
gold territory is in British territory.
The British contention seems to be
admitted as the correct one. and if
it is sustained it will mean the loss
of valuable gold territory to the
United States, as we'll as some ex-
cellent harbors and most valuable
waterways.
