Democratic Banner, Sonora, May 4, 1900.
A dispatch from Angels Camp says
the Utica Company has laid claim to
all of the town, basing their alleged
rights upon the contention that the
site is mineral and belongs to the Utica
by purchase made of Otto Fletcher,
who located the ground in pioneer
days. He sold his interests for S15, 600.
Subsequent to the deal the govern
ment issued title to the town site.
There will be litigation to determine
the question. In our opinion the
Utica crowd will be defeated, for back
of the property owners stands the U.
5. deed, which always holds water.

DISCUSSED ORGANIZED LABOR.

At the Social Science club Monday
Mayor F. M. Currier read paper
on the Present Status of Organized
Labor" 1t was an interesting paper in
which he traced the growth of labor or
CARNATIONS and briefly referred to what
had been accomplished by such organi-
cations. He read to some length from
a recent issue of The Outlook an &C
count of the part organized labor took
in the recent movement for rapid under
ground transit in New York City, and
how by it's insistance for the following
along practical lines, the schemes of
Tammany were defeated. He thought
labor had been greatly benefited through
organization.
E. L. Patterson lei the discussion
and followed to some extent the rise of
labor organizations in this country and
the benefits that had resulted from
them to labor. He also referred to the
effect of profit sharing, etc.
In the general discussion that fol-
lowed several phases of the question
was touched upon, and the effect of
profit sharing upon labor freely dis
cussed.

IN THE PHILIPPINES.
Edward T. Saylor Tells Of His Expert.
ences There.

Edward T. Saylor, son of L. D.
Saylor, formerly Of this city, recently
returned from the Philippines, where
he served Uncle Sam for one year in
the war there. Mr.. Saylor was with
Company 81. first Montana infantry.
and has his papers of an hon
orable discharge from Uncle Sans
services.
In speaking of the Philippines, Mr..
Saylor said he thought they were well
worth the fighting for and would prove
most valuable acquisition to this
country, as they are rich in resources
and will prove fine field for trade.
My Saylor was in number of en-
gagements but escaped injury from
Filipino bullets or bolo knives, though
he had several narrow escapes, one be-
ing rather close for comfort, his hat
being struck by bullet, which went
through it knocking it off. He had no
complaint to make of his treatment
while in Uncle Sans service. While,
of course they saw more or less OF hard
service, as soldier always does, he
said that they always had good clean
food and plenty of it.
Mr.. Saylor says that he would have
remained in the Philippines and en-
gagged in business, but that to do so
one must have permit from the mill
tary authorities, and such were not
granted to soldiers.
He will visit with his brother, VIM.
81. Saylor, for short time and then
return to Montana, where he is located.

EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENT.
San Francisco, Cal,
March %, 1900.

We arrived here this morning all we'll.
San Francisco is a wonderfully busy
city, and withal a beautiful one. l like
Los Angeles much better in many ways,
although it is not nearly SO large Ex-
pect to see Bob Roberts tomorrow, Sat-
urday. Sunday we will take a run
down to San Jose to visit Doc. Nc.
Graw's family.
Mr.. and Mrs. Baker will return to
Mankato about the first of May. They
will make a short stop in Salt Lake and
Denver.
We will leave here Sunday night and
come straight through. 1t takes five
days and four nights to make the run
with no layovers. 1t is long distance.
Los Angeles is one of the most delight
full little cities on the American CONT
nent. It's climate is almost perfect, its
residences are beautiful; it's streets are
clean and inviting; it's stores are mag
nifcent and its hotel accommodations
cannot be surpassed. While there we
visited J. K. Moores family and found
them well. Did not see Mr.. HalfhilI,
but was informed that he is doing a
splendid business. Bob. Evans, of Min.
neapolis. is stopping in Pasadena, and
am sorry to say that his health is not of
the best. Judge Pond, of Minneapolis,
is also at Los Angeles, and expects to
return home shortly. No less than a
hundred and fifty or two hundred Min.
nesotans are in Los Angeles. The city
has been crowded all winter with
tourists, but they are beginning to thin
out some now. The hotels of San Fran
cisco are crowded with strangers just
at this time, and all incoming and out
going trains are loaded to- their limits.
California may be put down as GER
tain for Mckinley, as so also may
Washington and Oregon. Bryan is at

prosperity of this section has doomed

A SMALLER PERCENTAGE.

Tuesdays Chicago Record contains
a column article from Abilene, Kansas,
in regard to the tax dodgers of that
state, which contains the following,
showing that tax experts are willing to
work there for less than they are here.
"a firm in southern Kansas has de-
vised novel method of helping the
counties out of their dilemma 1t pro-
poses to take contract from the
county commissioners by which it shall
have portions to 5 per cent-of all
taxes it shall secure after the assessors
have returned their books. 1t propos es
also to give the agents power of attor-
ney and qualifications to administer
oaths, SO that when the taxpayer is
questioned he shall be compelled to
make his answers as validly as in a
court of law. 1t is claimed that by
this method and by its influence as
fear inspirer the average tax roll can
be swelled from 60 to 80 per cent. If
this is so, it will be bonanza for the
average Kansas community and would
mean material reduction of taxes for
those who are now paying the burden.
Whether any counties will be able to
hire them second year is another
matter"

Considerable work remains to be done
and the ballasting of the track is not

the branch becomes effective, two pas
senger trains day will run through
st. Peter on the present line. The
operation of the cutoff will make very
little difference to stations in the south
western part of the state. Its greatest
advantage is in offering shorter line
