Cup1'uIll.

Engineer E. H. Hesse has finished
his survey and plat of Cuprum and
the number of claimants OF lots runs
to something near 125 names. Ow-
ing to the scarcity of lumber that has
prevailed for the last few weeks,
building has been greatly retarded,
but as Allen & Brown have their saw
and shingle mill in operation again
this difficulty will be speedily over
come; lumber can now be turned out
ut the rate of 5000 feet per day
which will enable all who are anxious
to build to carry out their desires.
A number of lot holders have cleared
and graded preparatory to building
and the town as a whole presents a
busy scene. The incoming of new
people, falling of trees, sounds OF
the saw and hammer, aud the gener-

FILIPINO ACTORS.
Ten of Them Want to illustrate the
White Mans Burden for a
Salary.

United States Immigration Commission
er North addressed a query yesterday to
the National Commissioner of Immig ra-
ton at Washington as to the right of ten
detained Filipino immigrants to be land
ed in this country The passengers are
to be taken to New York if allowed to
land and exhibited as part of The
White Mans Burden in a typical village
near New York City. They will sing and
dance under contract, and being to that
extent actors they claim to be entitled TO
admission. The doubt in Commissioner
Norths mind was rs to whether they
were actors. Mr.. Powderly replied by
wire:
Filipinos must be examined other immi-
grants, and If they come to this country in
violation of contract labor laws should oe re-
fused a landing.
Robert Watchorn, United States Special
Contract Labor Inspector arrived from
the north Yesterday morning and called
upon Mr. North. Mr.. Watchorn rejected
seventy Japanese immigrants in Seattle
because they had come TO this country
in response to an advertisement of rail

He held that this fact made them con-
tract laborers.

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the we'll known remedy,
SYRUF OF FIGS, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. It
is the one perfect strengthening laXa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispeiling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance. and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels. without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants, by method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please

81. There allegations OF favcritism
which have been seriously made are too
foolish for consideration, though it may
be mentioned that the working draw
ings for the Atbara bridge were all
made after the contract was signed.
1t is curious that so much ingenuity
should be exercised in %inventing OBJ
vicusly false and shallow excuses when
the reasons are obvious, and unfortu-
nately very serious. In the first place,
bridge design and construction in the
United States has long been reduced to
a system of manufacturing a few spec
ial and standard types (exact, of course,
in special cases.; under these condi-
tons plants of the most complete and
efficient kind can be laid down with
confidence, for it can be employed in
the rapid manufacture of the various
standard types of bridges. Moreover.
no machine or plant is allowed to be-
come obsolete, and in such works as
those of Pencoyd land there are a doz-

States) a machine or a plant becomes

contract, and which happened to
be in stock. The nswer to
which excuses are: a. That the
American works are driven fully as
much as those at home during these
busy times, but American makers can
always find means to take and COM
plete another contract. Thus at the
present time, besides their current
work, the Pencoyd company has in
hand the 5000 tons OF steel viaduct for
the Burmah railway, twelve large steel
bridges on Russian account for the So
berian railway, and 10000 tons of
steelwork for the framing of Wanna
makers new store in Philadelphia. (2)
That neither construction nor material
is inferior in the Atbara bridge; it was
made under close official inspection.
while the steel analysis tell their own
story. 90 There was a fair business
profit on the Atbara bridge contract,
and in this connection we may mention
that Mr.. Roberts, the president of Pen
coyd, told us a year ago hat he hal
rendered for a large German bridge,
and though he had allowed a wide mar
gin for contingencies, duties, profits,

longest, it is said, hitherto built. The
government invited tenders from four
British and Two American firms. Three
of the former declined to tender. and
one firm that had not been asked re-
quested and received permission to do
so. Thus two British and two Ameri-
can firms rendered; the lowest offer of
the former was 3150,000 and three
years for completion; the best of the
latter was G65.000 and one year for
completion. No amount of patriotism
could condone a loss of 100000 and
two years delay, so the order was CIV
en- to Philadelphia, to the shops that
built the Atbara bridge.
The causes alleged for these defeats
of British industry are: % Extreme
pressure in u own construction
works; CD inferior construction and
material in American work; CD will
ingness ON the part of American firms
to do work at a loss in order to secure
business; (4) undue favoritism to
American makers by the British and
Indian government agents; 60 the
willingness Of the latter to accept
bridge spans made for another

part of Lord Kitchener's great achieve
ments during his last two campaigns,
says British Engineering.
And since this surprise of the At
bara-a surprise as great as that of the
Khalifa's hosts when British and
Egyptian troops scattered them-an-
other object lesson that has been
taught. On one of the government rail-
ways now being built in Bermah. a
large steel viaduct is required-the
