Bring Your Wives and
Mothers With You.

When it comes to getting the
full moneys worth for every dollar
woman demonstrates her infinite
superiority. Most men would be
better clothed for less money if
mothers and wives were consulted.
Most women are enthusiastic over
our clothing. They can properly

our mems departments. Bring

Hopes For It's Success.
(Mother Lode Magnet.)

Yosemite Valley belongs to the State,
and the rough territory that surrounds
it is owned by the nation, and the
Record Union" is urging a good
scheme when it earnestly asks the peo-
pie of the State to petition the Federal
Government to construct a first-class
wagon road across its own lands over
the most approved lines into the valley.
Access to the valley should be made
easy. This done the poor as well as
the rich may see it. We trust the
Record Unions crusade will be
crowned with success. If the Federal
Government can be induced to take
hold of the matter we may be assured

keeping the accounts all straight on the
walls Of iSroffice. For many years af-
ter his term of office expired he lived
on q farm, near where the writer was
living, and patched and farmed, tend
ing as high as 120 acres of corn some
years. He soon became quite wealthy,
and began to buy up all the land ad-
joining him. He had large cribs of
corn, large pens full of hogs and pas
lures fuli of cattle. About this time
a handsome young lady came to Phil
lips County and settled with her par
ents on a tree claim south of the river.
She soon saw his cattle and hogs and
horses and his broad green pastures,
and after learning that he was a quiet,
Christian gentleman, who would pro-
vide we'll for q wife, she consented to
occupy the farm with him. They were
married. Thirty-four young border
rufffans from the adjoining country
went with guns and bells and tin pans
to serenade the newly married couple.
They made night hideous for a. while.
but at last the gentleman got out of
bed and rolled a. sack of apples out
at the door to the yelpers outside. But
this wouldn't do. They must see the
bride. Seeing no way of escape, he
called to Sadie to get up. Presently
she came out. She was introduced to
the motley gang, each one in turn kiss
ing her, much to the delight of the new
husband, who saw plainly that he was
not the only admirer she had. After
this the couple were among the most
prosperous people in that section

SACRAMENTO Hell PING ALONG
MONEY FOR THE COLOMBIA
TION PROJECT.
Five Hundred Dollars Subscribed
for the Salvation Army's
Colony.

For some time past there has laen

by the Salvation Army people to colon

country and give them a chance to
support themselves on farms equipped
with the necessary appliances for work.
ing them.
Last evenings Bulletin published
letter from H. Weinstock of this city
to ex-Mayor L. r. Enert of San Fran
cisco, in which Mr.. Weinstock refers
to his success in raising funds here to
help along the colonies. The writer
says:
Il. r. Ellert-Dear Sir: I beg to re-
port that during the very limited time
at my command I have canvassed
among our citizens in behalf of the col
onization work. and will state that thus
far I have secured subscriptions to the
amount of $500, which amount you are
at liberty to draw upon at your earliest
convenience. I think I can obtain
somewhere between $500 and $500 ad-
ditional subscriptions, and will make
final report at an early date. Mean
while, L beg to remain, yours very
truly"
The colonization scheme is going
along in a healthy and practical man
ner. Arrangements have been made to
commence plowing 500 acres on Mon
day at a cost of 81. On Friday the
Crocker estate gave Major Winchell
check for $3.50, the first installment of a
gift of 81, 900. The committee has now
at it's command about $1,000 with which
to go ahead. The people are waking up
everywhere to the feasibility of the
scheme
The colony will for q while be under
the management of Staff Captain Wood.
Lieutentant- Colonel Evans, who sue
ceeds Colonel Keppler, will assume an
active part upon his arrival, which
will be next week. There are some
houses on the land already ready for
occupancy, and more will be built inn
mediately. Professor Hilgard will give
valuable assistance and will analyze
the soils of the different localities.
Major Winchell has another project in
view for the benefit of a helpless class.
The Salvation Army has been providing
for a number of helpless children and
families, until it's resources are over
taxed, and they now have no more room
for applicants, no matter how pressing
their needs.
Major Winchell proposes to obtain a
tract of land somewhere near the cities
of the Bay, and there build an immense
orphanage, that shall be open to all
creeds and conditions of life. without
regard to race or nationality. The
children taken into this orphanage will
be taught all of the essential branches

British Naval Officers Pay.

The relative rates of American and
British naval officers pay in compari-
son are as follows: Naval cadet, $500;
nidshipman, f32, about $160; ensign,
81, 200; Lieutenant, E91, about
S455, with extras as navigator, f45
about S225; Lieutenant, Junior
grade, S1,S00; Lieutenant. f1S2
to 1856, about 5000 to ST.
$50 with extras up to E73, about
$3.50; Lieutenant, S2,4O0; Lieutenants
in command, f201 to 1914, about ST.
COS to $1.370, with extras from fS4 to
f141, about 1920 to S705; Lieutenant
Commander, $500; Commander. So,
800; Commander, 1866, about 81, ,S25,
with extras to f141, about S7O5; Cap
tain, $4, 800; Captain, f410 to 1902
about S2,050 to 5000, with extras
from f91 to 1928, about 500 to ST.
$40. Thus only the senior Captain in
the British navy, with full allowance
of extras, receives more than our jun
ior Captain. But after one gets to
be Captain, things change. In the first
place, every British Captain becomes a
Rear Admiral in a few years, as the
rank of Commodore is simply tempor-
ary, and a Rear Admiral starts with
fl ,642 (about IS, ,21O), and may wind up
with f., 737 (about S13, 500. Our Rear
Admirals only get $4,000 at most, while
their comrades of equal rank in the
army, the Major-Generals, get 900
Then the British sailor has two, and
sometimes three steps after he gets his
flag; he may become Vice-Admiral
with pay ranging from So, 775 to S15,-
so. and even Admiral, with pay and
allowances of S17,100 to $19S35. If
the British officer pulls along until he's
a CAPTAIN, he's all right; 1T is just the
other way with our officers. Our lower
ranks are paid better than the upper
ranks, proportionately.-M Jour-
