AROUND THE CORRIDORS.

S. NJ. Gardenhire, member OF the Kansas
Legislature, playwriter and defender in court
and press of playwriters' rights, finds IN the
sights and scenes of San Francisco much 10
think about. He saw the City "under the
auspices OF General Robert A. Friedrich, hrst
vice-president of the Union League cup.
Speaking of woman suffrage in Kansas, MI.
GaIdenhire said: SIN cities of the first, second
and third class women have the right 10 vote.
In the large towns or cities the right is not
freely exercised, but IN the small towns winch
comprise the third class the ladies, as the say
Ing goes, vote to a man." Regarding the
general effect of the extended franchise Mt.
Gardenhire remarked that the cause OF gooo
local government was promoted by woman
suffrage. 'Ip Topeka, a city OF 4o,ooo' we
have prohibition. Now, it doesn't prohibit
people from drinking liquor, because all VINO
want it and can afford to buy it can get 1t any
quantity desired from Kansas City, sixty mics
distant, but since prohibition took erect the
hummer element has disappeared from the
streets. We do not claim in Topeka that we
are the best governed municipality in the coun-
try, but compared with New York, Chicago ana
st. Louis we are wbite-robed angels"

only man in the party, Jack, who is versed in
the genealogy of the American River hope
you will keep duly sober or We'll get lost"
There is more hydraulic mining on a large
scale being done in Trinity than in any other
county in the State. There is no trouble over
the debris question. Fred Beaudry, who has
charge Of the big mines on Oregon Gulch,
owned by Baron La Grange and other French
capitalists, and Edward Saladih, who has
charge of the Hayes property at Junction City,
which is owned by other French capitalists,
are at the Palace. Mr.. Saiadin said yesterday
that 1t was the intention of his company to
enlarge their ditch leading from Canyon Creek
from capacity of 5000 to 5000 inches. 1--WE
are putting in a telephone line also and having
mines lit up by electricity for working at
night" he said. "We own 1900 acres of land,
most of Red HILL"
Mr.. Beaudry said: "We have fourteen and
half miles of ditch bringing in water to the
La Grange mine, and have spent about
100000 on improvements. We have in con-
temptation other work to bring in larger
supply of water that will involve an expendi-
ture of $500, 900 or $500 900 more. At Miners
vile on my own property we are taking in
$500 inches of water
