as the corporate home of the company
was in San Francisco and the franchise
was not assessable outside the corporate
home. He maintained, further, that ii
the franchise were to be assessed the only
proper and legal way to arrive a. its value
was to take the market value OF the stock
as basis, inasmuch as it represented the
earning value CT the material property.
The franchise, he argued, was merely the
privilege of doing business under certain
conditions. and the value Of the franchise
was determined by the pro6tableness of
the business done. The material prop
ertv was assessed according to its market
value, and the value of the franchise could
be ascertained by deducting the assess
ment on the material property from the
market value of the stock.
County Assessor Ortman's position was
that the market value of the bonds should
also be considered in determining the
total value of the company's property.
District Attorney Nutter rendered an
exhaustive opinion, in which he held that
this county could not levy taxes on
franchise granted by the State and owned
by a corporation having its principal
place of business in another county, for
its principal place of business was the
place at which its trancise should be
assessed.
And l am," said the District Attorney,
'of the further opinion that in arriving al
the value of franchise assessable In this
county you may adopt any reasonable
mode OF arriving at that value"
This opinion affects the assessment of
the franchises of the Stockton Gas and
Electric Company, the Sunset Telephone
Company and the Stockton Water Com
pany, all of which were incorporated else
where.

PHOENIX, ARIz., July ia company
OF more than 100 Japanese is now camped
on the outskirts of the city, at the Five
Points, awaiting transportation back to
California. The japanese are penniless
and in want, and their future disposition
is a serious matter for Phoenix, which has
already a sufficient number of unem-
ployed. The Japanese were brought here
from California last April under six
months contract 10 dig wild canagre
roots along the banks of the Hassayam m pa
River. Later they were used in the so me
work OH the Verde. and then the Salt
River and the Aqua Frio.
The Anglo merican Canaigre Com.
pany is responsible for their importation,
on the supposition that the thrifty littl e
brown men would prove more profitable
10 the company than the shiftless and
happy Mexican. But the result d not
bear out this theory; and then, too, the
company found itself stocked with
canaigre root three months before the ex-
piration of its contract with th japanese.
The Japanese were not only thrown out
of employment, but the money tat had
been held back TO pay their return trans
portation TO California was fatty refused

who had the outfit in charge, was ordered
by wire to dismiss the whole force.

was, he said, valuable. The Bible was o
truly sensational book. 1t needed a

Leslie w. Drake and w. F. Reagor gave
some splendid suggestions in the discus
sion.
The Pastor in the Pulpit" was pre-
sented by t. D. Butler of Hollister. The
speaker advocated short sermons in a
very spark ling manner.
Z. w. Jopson in discussion said the
sermon ought to be practical, sympa-
thetic inspiring.
l.. F. MeCray of Ukiah read a paper on
"The Pastor in Relation to the Denomi-
nations" 1t was scholarly and laid stress
on courtesy and cooperation. The pastor
here must be big man, tactful man !;
he must stand for Christian union.
The open Darllame Mt that was held after
the reading of each paper brough. out
some practical suggestions that were of
much benefit to those in attendance.
At A. NJ the Ministerial Association
was called to order. After the reading of
the minutes the com mittee on nomina-

1t was resolved that the association hold

other conventions.

Il. w. Drake of Saratoga delivered an
abe sermon at the evening service, and
during his discourse mentioned the lack
OF confidence OF many people in the MIN
listers, and suggested that if men and
women loved Jesus more devotedly they
would help clear away the obstructions
that apparently hid Jesus from the sight
of those who went to church expecting to
find him there, and would be a little aid
TO the minister in filing the empty
churches. He suggested it would be be- ter
not to spend so much money on church
architecture and more on the needy of the
churches.

Walks FROM TOMBSTONE JAIL.
Burnett, Released on a $4,000
Rond

TOMBSTONE, ARIz., July lin the
case OF the Territory against Rancher w.
G. Greene, who lhot and killed ]. c. Bur-
nett on the public streets last week, bonds
of $50, 900 have been accepted by the
court and the prisoner has been released
from custody. The sympathy OF the en-
tire community is with Greene and no one
seems TO regret that he killed Burnett.
Within ten minutes after the court had
concluded to release Greene on bonds the
necessary amount of security was forth
coming, and undoubtedly it would have
been had the amount demanded been
doub bic or even treble. The bond for
$50 900 was signed by E. J. Roberts, who
put $4,000 opposite his name; by Hon.
B. A Packard, who signed for $4,000, and
by Sam Barrow for like amount.
Greene's reason for killing Burnett was
that the latter had destroyed a dam that
let loose food which drowned his little
daughter and her playmate. Greene
claims 10 have indubitable evidence that
Burnett blew up the dam with giant
powder ana in spirit of pure malice.
1t is said that Burnett had repeatedly
threatened to Kill Greene and that at the
time of the Killing he was sitting within
reach uf his Winchester and surrounded
by his friends. Burnett was known to be
q bad man and in the older days won and
gloried In mortality record of considera-
bic length. Greene, on the other hand, is
a most peaceable man. a thorough favor
ite in the region and one whose slightest
word has always been good for almost any
amount of money on credit. He is one of
the largest cattle ranchers in the yicinity
and possessed of considera bic wealth. His
attorneys are w. IL. Barnes and w. p
Harlow, while Colonel William Herring
will assist District Attorney A. r. English
in The prosecution. The case will not be
tried un til the October term.

Stockton Rail.cay sued for Beer.

STOCKTON, CAL, July 1.-THE Stock
ton Streetcar Company was to-day sued
for $68 worth OF beer. The company had
not been greaslng its tracks with the bev-
erage, much less using it instead of ice
water, but it had been dispensing it at
Goodwaier Grove, and hence the suit.
The action is an aftermath OF Woodford' s
management of the grove, and was
brought by ]. B. Meloche, to whom ali
the claims against the company were as
signed. 1t is claimed that the electric
road company, which owns Good water
Grove, assumed the managers RESPONSE
bility. Several months ago Woodford was
attached, and then the company flied an
affidavit setting forth that Woodford did
not own anything at the grove and was
merely an emplove.
