OTIS; at the same time he gave warn- ing to them that they must go into immediate liquidation.
 Further still was MT. Fields bound by his oath of office to make this re- port as it should have been made. Section IA of the act reads as follows:
 "The commission, If in their opinion any such corporation or It's officers have violated any law in relation to port the same with such recommenda- tions as they deem expedient to the Attorney General, who shall forthwith institute a prosecution for such viola tion in the name of the people of the State"
 It would be uncharitable to say that MT. Fields had not discovered very serious violations of the law when he went through the books. The fact that the very report he signed showed in 1896 that the association held over $106,000 in real estate, when the law never contemplated nor permitted any holdings in real estate, should have at least merited some reference. He also found S19,7S5.50 delinquent interest. The fact that Edwin K. Alsip is now an absconder is due to the violation of law while he was the secretary of the association, yet MT. Fields found 1t not, or at least he made no report of 1t, as the law directs.
 It is a bad kettle of fish all through; at the same time there Is little solace in such a reflection on the part of those who intrusted their investments to the supervision of MT. J. L.

SEEK A REDUCTION OF
 THEIR ASSESSMENT
The San Mateo Electric and Nevada County Marrow Gauge Before
 the State Euualizers,

SACRAMENTO. July 21.-The San Francisco and San Mateo Electric Rail- way Company had its inning to-day be- fore the State Board of Equalization. In his petition for a reduction the secretary of the corporation, William Clayton, made the following statement: ''The company values the roadway, roadbed and fran chises at $75,00O and rolling stock at $19,- 76. The earnings of the road for the year s1S4, ,716 s6 expenses s17O 45O A."
 MT. Clayton said that the road last year was assessed by the State Board at s75.- GOO, in view of the fact that the worn out tracks were being renewed, that the of the road had suffered much on account of the rough roadbed. This year the com pany has constructed ten miles of track the best piece of work of the kind ever creased the assessed valuation on the road from $40,00O of last year to S95,00O. The latter amount, it was contended, was true and honest valuation of the road as far as concerned the power of the board to assess 1t. The power house, real estate and improvements of the company are
 In speaking of the franchise MT. Clay ton said that for the franchise to be val uable the road must earn about 8 per cent in order to right the depreciation of property. renewals repairs and loss in life of the franchise itself. he considered that his road was entitled to at least 3 per cent on the amount or US lnVeSment Therefore the company would have to earn more than Il per cent before the franchise could begin to confer any priv ileges on the company. He maintained that it was unreasonable to assess a franchise on the total valuation of stocks and bonds of railroad company. as ad- vocated by Mayor Phelan of San Fran cisco.
 George Fletcher, secretary of the Ne vada County narrow gauge railroad, run ming from Colfax on the Central Pacific to Nevada City, distance of 22.1S miles, appeared for his road. The road was as- sessed last year for s1o0,0 which has been the amount of assessment for the five previous years. According to the rail- road statement on file, the value of the roadway, roadbed and franchise Is placed at $45,000, and the rolling stock at $23, 200. The earnings of the road for the year ending December 31, 1897, were S10S 1892 6S. expenses SS7. .373 43; net s21,219 25; interest payments S,344 50. The improvements and real estate have been assessed by the County Assessor at $51 ,072.
 MT. Fletcher said that, compared with last year, the company had increased the assessed valuation in some respects. The road had no up-country business this year, due to the fact that the small hy draulic mines could not be worked for want of free water coming from the melt ed snow. of which there was light fall during the past winter. The business of the road, however, was increased by the prosperity of the quartz and drift mines in Nevada County. The mines received a great deal of new machinery, which was hauled over the road.

shoals by carefully avoiding dangerous details of facts and figures. MT. Fields ingeniously declares: "I found that all moneys had been properly entered and all payments had been made by defendant" Beyond this the certificate does not go." Of course not, and for this the building and loan associations of California are taxed to pay the salaries and travelling and office expenses of two Commissioners and a secretary to expert the books and accounts of the building and loan asso- citations of California
 MT. Field, the secretary, is supposed to do all the work of the office, and the man. ner in which 1t Is done is evidenced by re- suits in Sacramento, where the deluded stockholders of the Union Building and Loan Association have been literally rob- bed under the nose of the secretary of the State Commissioners of Building and Loan Associations.
 If put to a vote of the officers of these associations they would almost unani- mously declare in favor of abolishing this worthless and expensive excrescence on the body polite of this State.

LIN OF REGIMENTAL DRILL
EIGHTY CASES OF MEASLES
 AMONG THE BOYS.

CAMP MONTGOMERY, Santa Rosa, July 21-With deafening shouts and blood -curdling war whoops over 400 League of the Cross Cadets charged across fields and scrambled over high fences this morning in regimental drill in a way that would have struck terror to the hearts of Blanco's army had they been in the vicinity. That the bows are benefited by their encamp- ment is more apparent every day, both in their drills and also in their soldierly department.
 Every morning while 1t Is still cool the regiment is marched out to the drill grounds and two hours hard drill ing is accomplished under the careful instruction of Colonel Sullivan. This morning found twenty-eight young of lenders in the guardhouse; they were all put to work cleaning the camp and were discharged from custody soon after 10 o'clock. The call for dress pa rade this evening was sounded soon after supper, and, headed by Colonel Sullivan, the entire regiment marched to and held the impressive ceremony of dress parade in front of the court house. Fourth street was thronged by the residents, who loudly complimented the cadets department and their natty appearance in white duck trousers. Before going to the courthouse the regiment paid the Rev. Father Cassin a visit, marching past his house at ''the present" The march was then resumed to the Ursaline Academy. where the band took up a position on the lawn and rendered the Sisters of the academy a military serenade.
 Tomorrow his grace Archbishop Riordan, accompanied by the regimen tai chaplain, Rev. Father O'Ryan, will pay the boys visit. He will arrive In Santa Rosa at 10 o'clock and he will be met at the depot by the entire regiment and escorted to and from the camp by the cadets.
 Captain F. G. Monahan has the measles. The hospital has so far treated eighty cases in camp.

When tho late Neal Dow was young
man, he was chief Of the volunteer fire de-
partment Of Portland, Ne. His activity
in temperance reform made him unpopu-
lar with the liquor sellers, and they tried
to get him removed.
At a hearing on the matter one witness
testified that Mr.. Dow was arbitrary and
reckless of the lives Of the men. BY way
of illustration, he said that he was ordered
by the chief to take tho pipe which he was
holding into place where he refused to
go, telling the chief that no man could
live there
On cross examination he was asked:
"What did Mr. Dow do them
"Snatched the pipe from my hands and
told me to clear out"
"Whnt else2"
'Ho took it into the fire himself"
At that point the case against the chief
broke down.-Youth' 5 Companion.
