Fifty years ago boys and young men
in the wooded districts of the West Sc
cured pocket money through the sale
of ginseng root. Stories were told of
how the demand for ginseng came from
China, and that this steady demand en-
abled the local dealers to pay a good
price for the product that grew wild in
the woods. AS early as 1922 the Unit
ed States shipped $4,000 pounds of
ginseng yearly to China. This had a
value then of $4,000. The 10000
pounds shipped from this country to
China in 1897 had a value of $40, 1000,
and the 125,000 pounds shipped in 1899
had value of 100000. In the early
years Of the trade American physicians
scorned the idea of ginseng's having
any great therapeutic value. The ply
sicians of this day take the same posi-
ton, and yet the ginseng root, worth in
its green state from 40 to 80 cents a
pound in this country, and from $1.75
to $3.50 pound dried, sells in China at
prices ranging from So to $25 pound.
The rapid settlement of the West and
the destruction Of forests curtailed the
production of ginseng, but it is esti-
mated that since a shrewd old African
sea captain opened the trade with
China 100 years ago we have sold to the
Chinese ginseng to the value Of $685.
100000. This is so much clear gain,
because there is demand for the root
neither in this country nor in any for
eign country except China. The present
disturbances in China have interfered
with the occupation of the ginseng dig
gers in the mountains and wooded dis
tricts Of Kentucky, Tennessee, West
Virginia and North Carolina. AS no 9TH
er country will buy their Sang" these
diggers are in favor Of an early settle
ment of the Chinese troubles.

Cool Stage Robber.

Nevada City-A four-horse stage,
bound from this city to Downieville,
was held up by a lone highwayman,
while ascending the grade one mile
and a half above Niger Tent, twenty
seven miles from here. The robber,
who was armed with a doublebarreled
shotgun, covered L. L. Gaffney, the
driver, and the latter at his command
threw out the wooden way box of
Wells, Fargo & Co., which was empty,
all the treasure aboard being in an
iron chest bolted to the bottom of the
stage.
The only passenger aboard was w.
F. Eschbacher, editor of the Downie-
vile Messenger, en- route home from
the Native Sons celebration. Thirty
dollars was obtained from him. The
robber, who appeared to be perfectly
at ease, ordered Eschbacher to re-
mount and babe Gaffney drive on. He
then disappeared in the forest with the
empty treasure box under his arm.
The robber was about feet 10 inches
tall, wore overalls, barley sack mask
and sacks on his feet.

Murdered for their Money.

PHOENIX (Ariz.,) Sept. 15.-News
reached here this morning of fearful
double murder at Gutherie, near Clof-
ton, last Tuesday. While John MCGEE
han and John Mcbride wer asleep at
the saloon of the former, party of
Mexicans visited the place about 3
o'clock in the morning for the pur-
pose of securing. a large sum of money
believed to be in McGeehans posses
sion.
The sleepers were awakened, and
opened fire, but both fell before the
bullets of the robbers, and were dead
when neighbors aroused by the shots
came to their assistance. A hat left
by one of the assassins furnished a
clew and the owner and one other
Mexican were arrested and taken to
Clifton. 1t is believed three more are
implicated in the murder.
The populace was greatly aroused
over the tragedy and lynching was
feared. A guard was set around the
prison and the following day one of
the guard, Longfellow Saldo, was
killed by a bullet from a gun carelessly
handled by Manuel Bristlles, another
guard. Mcclellan was formerly of
Shasta county, Cal, where he has con-
siderable property, Mcbride was also
a California man.

Census Work Progressing.

Washington, D. C.-The opera
tors of the counting machine in the
Census Office have counted more than
100000 of the names of residents of
the United States and are going ahead
at the rate of million a day. 1t is
the expectation that this machine count
will be completed within the next
thirty days, as the generally accepted
total population of the country is in
the neighborhood of 75,000,0OO.
AS fast as the count of any one city
is verified the population is announced.
Director Merriam will only announce
separately cities of $4,000 population
and over, those of less size being in
cluded in State returns. The director
says the count of cities has been COM
pleted, and in some States nearly so,
and he will be able to begin the pub
LEGATION of State populations by Octo-
Der 1.
The count of Los Angeles was com
pleted several days ago, but the veri-
fication proves slow work.

LOS ANGELES JOBBERs SUE
Santa Fe and S. p. Accused of Unlawful
Discrimination in Freight Rates.

San Francisco, Sept 14-The Los
Angeles Traffic Association has begun
its threatened suit against the South
ern Pacific and Santa Fe before the
Railroad Commissioners. The COM
plant was filed today, and in volum-
GUS typewriter pages it charges the
two railroad corporations with unlaW
full discrimination against the jobbers
of Southern California in the matter of
freight rates into the san Joaquin
Valley, which is declared to be in &C
cordance with an unlawful traffic con-
tract existing between the two COM
panies. The complaint proceeds to
show that the Southern Pacific, long
before the completion of the Santa Fe
system, established certain schedules
of rates, and adds:
Notwithstanding the said Santa Fe
system is under a different manage
ment, ownership and control than the
Southern Pacific system, and is a COM
peting line, nevertheless it did not,
upon the completion and establishment
of it's through system, establish diff
ferent or competing schedule, but that
the said Santa Fe system adopted the
which had many years prior thereto,
and was then, adopted and carried into
effect by the said Southern Pacific
Company, and upon the information
and bill of the complainant alleges
that the adoption of the Santa Fe sys-
tenn of the identical rates of the said
Southern Pacific Company was done
solely under and by virtue of the terms
of a traffic contract now existing be-
tween the Southern Pacific Company
and the said Santa Fe system; that
contract has for it's purpose and OBJ
ject, among other things, the perpetu-
alton and continuance of discrimina-
ton and inequality of rates against
Los Angeles, and upon like infor-
nation and belief the complainant al
leges that by the terms of the said
contract, and by an agreement between
said parties, the defendant earnings
of the said Southern Pacific Company
for doing the carrying of said freight
are shared by said Santa Fe system
to the extent that the said railroad
companies of said systems do not par
ticipate in said carrying, contrary to
the provisions of section 20 Of article
- of the constitution of the State OF
California
Attached schedules show the extent
of the alleged discrimination in rates.
The Los Angeles jobbers ask for in
adjustment of the rates on mileage
basis, which has heretofore been re-
fused by the carriers, for the reason
that in their opinion the greater cost
of hauling freight over the Tehacnepl
Mountains does not justify it.

A Tragedy of the Pacific.

A story of a battle on Layson Island,
a small speck in the Pacific, which was
once a Hawaiian dependency, reached
here today by the bark Ceylon, which
brought to Honolulu all the partici-
pants in the affair. 1t was fight be-
tween Capt. Spencer, the king of the
Island, and forty Japanese laborers,
who were taken there to help to load
vessels from Honolulu with guano.
The captain fired eight bullets into the
crowd of forty men killing two of them
and wounding three others.
There were only five white men on
the island when the trouble took place
According to the story of Capt. Spen-
GER, the Japanese had planned to seize
the island and kill all the whites. On
the evening of August IL they assem-
bled in front of his residence, and there
was a lengthy discussion. 1t ended
when the Japanese made a rush to take
the place Capt. Spencer stood his
ground with a six-shooter in each hand
and fired at the leaders. The ringleader
and one other man fell dead, and three
Japanese dropped to the ground with
serious wounds. The other thirty-five

remained on guard all night, and the
next day they began to round up the
Japanese and put them on board the
Ceylon to be taken to Honolulu. They
were all put below in the hold, with
the matches fastened down, and the
bark started away from the island,
leaving behind two white men, Capt.
Spencers son and the carpenters en-
poyed by the guano company.

Much Lootino in Pekin9.

Picking. Looting in Peking contin-
ues, both authorized and unauthorized.
Few houses are guarded, except those
occupied by foreigners, the palaces and
those in the Sacred City. Almost
every house is destitute of furniture.
Gen. Chaffee says he could not have
believed that any city would ever be
given over so completely to looters,
and he earnestly desires the co-opera-
ton of any nation to prevent this.
On the other hand, the missionaries
complain, because the Sacred City has
not been looted. They urge that the
royal family and other highly-placed
Chinese personages who were behind
all the trouble should be made to suffer
more than those who blindly followed
them.
Gen. Fukushima, the Japanese COM
mander, informed Gen. Chaffee that
brutal outrages were being committed
in Tung Chow. He told the American
commander that he had positive infor-
nation that many women had thrown
themselves into wells or committed
suicide in other ways, after having
been outraged, and that there were
several authentic cases of coolies who
had been killed under peculiarly afro
cious conditions. He requested Gen.
Chaffee to investigate and then to CO.
operate with him to check these bar
barities as far as possible. Gen. Chat
fee ordered Maj. Muir to proceed i'm
mediately to Tung Chow and to report.

affirmation, more or less explicit, of the

the killing of Humbert was desirable.
Otherwise sympathy could not be ask
