During his stay in this city Mr.. Sand
ers was questioned particularly regarding
the proposition to remove the cannery
in which he y the principal owuer, now
located q Delta. - this city.
Mr.. Sanders, in response toan inquiry.
stated that reasons bad arisen which
would prevent him from accepting the
proposition offered by the citizens Of
Meea county to remove his canning fac.
tory here this year. That his action wss
not caused by any failure Of the citisens
to fully comply with his request and
that their proposition was all that q
reasonable man could expect, but that
matters had arisen since his departure.
which would prevent him from accept
ing this year. What he would do in the
future is very uncertain; that he had
made no plans for the operation Of the
plant in Delta county. but would decide
what to do when he returned home. as
he had propositions from the citizens
there.-Grand Junction Sentinel.

Insurance


Considerable attention mas been given
by this committee to restrictive legislation
respecting insurance companies and as
sociations doing business in the District.
The committee has also had under con-
sideration the question of putting into
operation a better system of police resu-
1ations for the protection of property
against loss and damage by fire. and to the
end that the cost of fire insurance may be
reduced.
Membership.
Deaths. designations and non-payment of
dues are reported as responsible for de-
creased membership. The committee will
not accept as valid the excuses of many
who have permitted themselves to be
dropped from the rolls simply because the
cues were increased from $ to SO. The
broad argument is that any Washingtonian
who has property interests here can surely
afford 70 contribute annually the small sum
needed to carry on the work Of this Or
gantZation. by which the property-owner
and all other residents are Immensely bene-
tted. To make the benefits more easily
visible and to encourage enthusiasm the

His Wit Saved Him.

From the San Francisco Ware.
A strict rule promulgated by every sue
cessive commandant at the navy yard pro-
hibits smoking on Mare Island, under the
most stril gent penalties. Admiral Miller
sauntering one recent afternoon through
distant part of the island, came upon an
Irish 1aborer digging a trench and smoking
a short black pipe. He was putting away
serenely. unconscious of regulations and
with evident enjoyment. The admiral, who
was in undress uniform. stopped.
Don't you know, sir, that smoking is
absolutely prohibited in the navy yardY'
he said.
The Irishman looked up, and with a
kindly smile answered:
''1ndade, that's thrue. but here am I all
be meself. wild not sowl to say a wurrd
to- and 1 thought I'd take a puff or two
to ralave the silence"
1.-THE regulations are explicit SIR" re-
buked the admiral. land the silence does
Eot excuse you. What's your name, sir?''
AN who may you be, anywayg' asked
I'm Admiral Miller, SIR"
"Ah, it's the new admiral We are. IT'S
the fat job you have. admiral. Be careful
to kape 1t. Me names Pat McGinnis."
Report at my Office this afternoon with
out fail. McGinnis,' said Miller. who could
hardly keep from laughing. At o'clock
poor Patrick, who had made up his mind
there would be the devil to pay. tramped
over to headquarters and the orderly usher
ed him into the dreaded presence OF the
admiral, who said:
''Sit down. Pat"
Pat sat down. Miller touched q bell. The
orderly appeared.
Bring bottle OF champagne and two
glasses" he said.
: Not q word was spoken until the wine
arrived. The admiral filled the two glasses
and pushed one over toward the Irishman.
Pat" he said. "give me the pipe. You'll
not need II again.
The mystified laborer obeyed.
Now said the admiral drink hearty.
Pat, hut you'll keep your job as long as
I'll keep mine"

Convict. Guarding Themselves.

From the st. Louis Globe Democrat,
The anomalous spectacle of large gang
OF penitentiary convicts working in the
open, with no officers or armed force to
guard them, is presented every day at
Yuma, Ariz. They are camped on the Col
orado river, a little above Yuma to be ex-
act, and they are engaged in cutting wood
for the territory. None of them escape.
None try to escape. Why do they stay?
Because each man guards the other Each
man is short terrner," none of them hav-
ing more than a year yet to serve. All are
allowed rebate for the work they do
When a convict has cut two cords of wood
he has earned a days rebate on his term
but should one of the gang escape, then
every man In the gang loses all rebates
Thus, each man becomes his brothers
keeper in more practical sense than the
beautiful theory is often carried out among
freeiren.
