After Mr.. Proctor had asked Mr..
Bailey few questions bearing on
parts of his testimony, Mr.. Proctor
himself again took the stand and made
a short statement.
Mr.. Proctor said he wanted to thank
the committee on behalf of the COM
mission for allowing every one who had
q grievance chance to air il.
You have heard a man. he said,
''who has been intrusted implicitly
with the commissioners affairs and
who has had ample opportunity to col
lect information TO throw discredit upon
the work of the commission, ifshe wants
to do so.
There is nothing / like SO much as
to have my CONT itants get out of am
bush and fight in the open.
Now. you know all OF the cases,
said Mr.. Proctor. 'in which the COM
mission has violated the rules and the
law. The commission will cheerfully
bring before your committee the files
of every case mentioned, that you may
have the full and comniete data on
which the commission based its decis-
ion and action"
Mr. PI'itchard said that the commit
tee would require this TO be done.
'.As / have said" stated Mr.. Proctor
mo appointment or transfer has been
made except according to the law as
the commission construes it. In some
instances, perhaps, we have placed a
wrong construction upon it. If so, we
are responsible to the President and
he may take such action as he sees
fit
Mr.. Bailey was then allowed to ask
MIR. Proctor questions, and quite
lively time ensued. Among other things
Mr. Bailey asked if the question of his
discharge had been considered by the
commission NJ Proctor at first de-
clined TO answer, stating that 1T was d
question which Mr.. Bailey had no
right to ask.
Mr.. Pritcbard here took a hand
and said it was proper
question, and that he would ask
Mr.. Proctor ii the commission had
considered Mr.. Bailey's discharge from
reasons growing out of his testimony
before the committee.
Mr.. Proctor replied that the commits
sion had not considered the question Tor
that reason.

MIR. CODY'S KINGDOM.
The Great Snowman Has a Very Good
 Tract of Land.

DeadwoOd, $. D., Jan. 29.-William F. Cody, better known the world over by the cognomen of Buffalo Bill, was in the city last week with a party of friends en route for his ranch in the Big Horn basin. MT. Cody is president of company that owns 250, 900 acres of land in that section and was on his way out there to direct opera toins for the coming season. The center of the colony is the small, but thriving town of Cody, which con- tains a fine Touring mill, bank, a general store and several other thriv- ing business institutions. An irri- gating canal is now constructing that will cover the basin for a length of 125 miles and carry all the water of a large stream that has its source in the mountains. This canal is fifty two feet wide on the bottom and is calculated to irrigate 169.000 acres of land. A colony of substantial farm CTS from the state of Illinois settled in the basin last year and they are fast becoming prosperous. Although it was late when they arrived on the ground last year, they harvested a fair crop. One farmer who plented oats on June 10 harvested sixty bush -sels to the acre. The soil is very rich and is at least eighteen feet deep, Another colony will go into the basin in February or March which will con- sist of 300 farmers and their families They are for the most part either Americans or Scotch and are compaIa lively well to do, none of them hay ing less than $1 ,000 in ready cash.
 The three great railways of tht northwest, the Burlington, the North western~and the Northern Pacific, hav' aarssady surveyed lines into the 'basir ard the prospects for their being built in the immediate future are very bright.

cident on the Santa F'e, but is expect ed to arrive soon. The plant will co1i- tain forty shearing pens, large d1p- ping vault, and warehouse TOT the storage of WOOL Machine shears Will be put in each pen, and the old nand shears will be relegated to place among the crude implements of inc old days. The machines will be the means of saving greater portiorl of the wool to the owners, as they cb-p much closer and cleaner than t Is possible to do with hand shears. Sheepmen are enthusiastic over the accommodations to be given them by this progressive railroad. They fig ure that they will save great deal of money by having the shearine done at the railroad in the cosi of hauling the wool from the present location of the shearing camps, which is no small figure.
 s. P1Hce Behan has the matter in
 charge and he will lose no time in geitting the, plant in shape to hancle a large number of sheep al the com ing shearing.
 Ehearing usually begins the first of February, but the inclement wealth CT may delay it few days this year. Twio cOrrals, or sheRring camps, have been located near the Arizona canal on the Black canyon road, about ten miles from Phoenix. A large number of visitors are usually attracted 10
 the camps, and their proximity to the city makes the trip pleasant and in teresting one.
 The shipment of sheep will follow
 the wool in May, and the number ot doub1e-decked cars that will be re quired to carry them out of the val I ley is estimated at 250.
 The sheep owners are here looking atfer their camps in the foothills, and
 negotiating with the wool buyers or 1 the sale of their wool. They all veal ] the same glad smile, and when ap-
 preached by a reporter an interview 1 is given in a cheering way that makes
 you glad that prosperity has come tt
 them. The success of the sheep in
 dfustry will augment the wealth O the territory this year by a greater
 sum than ever before.

pany to supply convicts for labor on a canal about to be taken out of the Coorado above Yuma. More than sixty of the prisoners are already at work enlarging a canal below Yuma under the direction of the same com- pany and it is believed that when operations are in full blast on the larger canal the company will require the services of all the prisoners that the territory can supply under the con- tract. A feature of the case discussed by the Enterprise directors at their meeting was the cost of transporting the prisoners across the territory They recognized that this might be regarded as an objection which might, however, be met by the circumstance that Graham county had never before asked favor at the hands of the ter ritiory.
 That objection, though, under the law would not likely cut any figure if there were any available convicts left after the territory had fulfilled the terms of its contract with the Sta,e of Arizona Improvement company Mir Fonda went to Tempe and Mesa yes terday and will return to Phbanix be- fore leaving for home.

ID Work on a Canal in Graham County.

William B. Fonda of Stafford, who has been in town for the last two days, came to take advantage of an act of the Eighteenth legislature, authoriz- ing the board of control to lease con- victs for work on semi-public inn provements Mir. Fonda's errand was undertaken at the direction of the owners of the Enterprise canal, the chief irrigating canal in the Upper Gila valley. Heretofore this canal has been kept in repair or extended by assessments upon the patrons of it and the assessm enls have usually been paid in labor. This system was productive chiefly of dissatisfaction and at a meeting of the directors last Wednesday it was resolved to apply to the territory for the privilege of leasing convict labor
 What encourage ment, if any, MT. Fonda has received is rot known. The territory is under contract with the ; State of Arizona Improvement com

Starvation Wages on the Stage,

Actresses may be roughly divided
into two classes, those who get salar-
les Of G2 a week and upwards, and
the larger number who are employed
as supers, chorus, and ballet girls, and
are paid less. These girls are for the
most part dependent on the stage 10
earn a living. 1t is among this latter
class that the most immortality is
found. Now, it will be agreed that
these girls are as necessary a feature
in the stage picture as the principals,
and, that being so, they deserve to be
paid a living wage. But his is far
from being the case.
We will quote a few instances to
support u contention. In the spring
Of last year the proprietors of a theatre
IN the Strand, which is always open
all the year round, and generally has
crowded houses, were Offering girls 12S.
Cd. a week as supers. Considering
that the theatre yields a small fortune
every year to it's owners, this a only
De called an iniquitOus proceeding. AT
the same time, another going
for a short tour in the country were Of
fering lbs. a week to girls, and had no
difficulty in obtaining them. "A we'll
known stan actress last autumn, who
put on a comedy for a short time, Of
fered girls who had to appear as guests
one guinea a week, and they had to
IND three new dresses.
A peculiarly hard case came to our
notice a. year ago. About $50 girls
were engaged for a play, and for eight
weeks they had to work unpaid at re-
hearsals; during the last week the re-
hearsals lasted up to two in the morn
ing, Obliging many of them to take
cabs, which they cOuld i'll afford, in or
der to reach their homes. The piece
opened at Christmas, and was only
played a fortnight, with the result
that these girls were all thrown out
of employment at a time when there
vas no probability of their getting an
other engagement for a couple of
months.
Allowing that the average salary Of
this class of girls is 3OS. a week CD,
how is it possible for them to live de-
Gently and put aside enough money to
last them while they are seeking an
other berth or are rehearsing? In ad-
dition, it is an absolute necessity that
they appear we'll dressed. 1t is not
temptation hat drives them to i'm
moral ways, it is the dire necessity of
getting enough money to buy the bare
necessaries of life. 1t is a cruel diem
ma for girls to be in, but the response
bility of their sins does not rest on
their heads, but on those of the mana
gers who grind down their wage &C
cOrding to the extent of the supply.

it is impossible for a girl to keep

Two classes of merchants are profit
ing by the war excitement-the book
men and the flag dealers. The demand
upon the latter for the Stars and
Stripes has been greater thar at any
time, Fourths Of July not excepted,
since the civil war, and the stock, so q

day, on hand is now practically ex-
hausted. THE deuce of il all is that"
he continued, although the bunting
factories are working night and day.
we cannot get our orders filled half as
rapidly as we YOU like, n prices
have advanced appreciably in conse-
quence. In fact, the situation ap-

and the buyer who succeeds in getting

colors to proclaim his patriotism is
lucky, no matter what price he pays"

The Awakening OF China.

DR.. Griffith John of Hankow, thinks
it likely that 1898 will he known in the
history Of Chinese missions as 1.-The
foot-unbinding year" The significant
feature of the an~ti-bandage movement
at it's present stage is that, although it
originated within the Christian
churches, it is now being widely
spread by the influence of prominent
outsiders. Another notable fact is
that at the annual NJ. A. examinations
at Nanchang, the capital Of the XII
angst province one Of the questions
put was, What do you know of the
repeopling of the world by Noah and
his family after the food?" When one
remembers the violent opposition that
has hitherto been made to the study
of any literature outside the national
classics, it will be recognized that
such an incident in itself marks the
close OF the antediluvian period in
Chinese history; for in the Celestial
Empire the examination programme
does more to set the fashion in reading
than any combination Of press notices
and circulating libraries could do with
us.-WestminSter Gazette.

No democrat objects to any wanderer
returning to the fold. but on the other
hand, they will always be warmly well
coined. But We do object to a set
of men who want offices trying TO force
down our threats the thing that we have
always "cuSsed'-fusion. Can We, as a
party. turn round and do the thing that
we abused the republican party for doing?
Can We afford to endorse the part of the
shame which was brought on the state
by the aid Of the populists? The repub-
lican party alone is not responsible for
it, and it could never have been done
without the aid Of their allies. no. thank
you; We'll take ours straight, or not at
all.-Wilkesboro Hustler.
The purpose of this article is to say
that if the Iredell democrats desire fu-
sion then they should say 50 and send
a delegation to the state convention in
favor of it. If they do not let them say
so. If the majority of the democrats in
any precinct object to being traded to
Mr.. Butler then they should see to it
that no delegates who favor such trade
are elected to represent them in the cOun-
ty convention; if a majority of the dele
gates to the county convention are OPP
posed to the trade then should see that
they are represented in the state conven-
ton by men who will not trade them. If
those opposed to fusion stand back and
allow the matter to go by default they
will have only themselves to blame. We
know there is a disposition among some
democrats not to go to the primaries
even, because, they say, they will not
abide any fusion and thus they think it
best to stand out until they see how the
land ays.-Statesville Landmark.
We hope that the democrats in the va
rious precincts will give d cordial invita-
ton to white populists and republicans
to join them, and we hope that the pop
uliStS and republicans will appreciate
the concessions made by the democrats
and join them in their efforts to purify
our politics and restore good government
in every department of both county and
state. BY SO uniting the white people Of
this county can select good and true men
to represent them in the various offices
and then we can elect them by safe ma
j%orities. Now there are many democrats
and pOpulistS who have been saying that
the white people ought to get together.
Those who are in earnest have an OPP
portunity now of showing it, and those
who put pie" before patriotism will be
heard from too. They will do all in their
power to prevent the white people get
ting together. The decent people ought
to turn their backs on these little pie
hunters and we hope they will.-Char-
Iotte News.
