Interesting Pen.ion Figures,

The first annual report of the new commissioner of pensions is an unusu- ally interesting document. Our dis patches a few days ago gave the out lines of the report, but a more extens- i've digest is furnished by Bradstreets, from which publication the figures be- low are taken. In addition to the in formation ordinarily contained in the annual report, Commissioner Ware gives statistics as to the cost of the pension roll for the various wars in which the United States has been en- gagged since its beginning as an inde- pendent country. The pension roll is still below the million mark, although it is rapidly approaching it.
 The total enrolment on July 1 last was 999, ,446, an increase of LII as com pared with the corresponding date last year. Of the total mentioned 26O, ,637, or considerably more than one-fourth, comprise widows and dependents. The OcboA oAiOhhl pau TUT peIlSlOHS uuTlUB the year was s137. .504, ,26S. and the yearly cost of maintaining the bureau and the agencies. beyond the payment of pen sions proper, was $3,590529. At present the average value of each pension it T little over $132. The bureau seems to be making headway in disposing of &C., cumulated work. for last year it dis posed of 47,1O6 more applications than it received. It happens that the appli- cations for pensions filed during the fiscal year numbered 1S8, ,626, but 11S,- 464 applications were rejected and Ill., 268 were granted. As will be seen from these figures. a little over half the ap- plications considered during the year were rejected. There are now 339, ,436 cases undergoing examination in the bureau and otherwise in the process of adjudication.
 In earlier years the pension roll was a much lighter one. The pension dis bursements rom the beginning of the government to June 30 1865, more than two months after the close of the civil war, were less than those for a single year under the new order of things. The disbursements from July 1, 179O, to June 30. 1865, amounted to $96, ,445, A, which is over $41, ,000. GOO less than those for the fiscal year ending June 30 lasr. The relative amounts expended in pen sions on account of the wars in which the country has been engaged are set forth in the following table supplied

PROTECTED CRIME.

The horrid Craft murder perpetrated in New York last Saturday y~1morning is but one example of the results which surely fullCw in the train of the de- moralizing influences so long at work in the city's police department under Tammanys rule. The blackmailing system, which year by year has be- come mere and more barefaced in it's practice, is a distinct encouragement to criminals to go to New York and to pursue their evil practices. The more of them there are the greater will be the revenue to be drawn from them. Immunity from punishment on the part of the police for their share in the un- holy alliance between them and the vicious and criminal is bound to reach point at last when the latter will gain the upper hand and be able to de:y those who have been giving them pro- lection in return for pay, even if these should consider it necessary to punish a good customer who has gone little too far and shown plainly just what it is that the System" stands fer
 In the present instance the dive in which Craft was so brutally killed to make robbery easier was one of many similar traps for the unwary situated in Twenty-ninth street. close to Broad way. Their character is well known to frequenters' of the "Tenderloin:" they exist contrary to the law, and can do so only with the guilty connivalce of the police. This one, the Empire gar den,' managed by a, well known crimi- nal seems to have been especially fa- vored. and the boldness with which the crime was committed and the careless manner in which attempts were made to hide the traces of it show that its perpetrators had little fear of the con sequences and great confidence that their, pull would be able to save

OLD PEOPLE HAVE THEIR
 TROUBLES.

Mir. Francis Little of Benton Har- Dor, Mich, is over eighty years of age. Since 1865 he has been troubled mere or less with indigestion and constipa- tion, and has tried almost everything in use for those ailments. Last August he began using Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets and was soon feel ing much better. In a recent letter he says: "I have ueei three boxes of the tablets and now think I am well. !"

Actual total disbursement

<ASludl AOldl QlSOQISSIIltHl
 Tn pensions $2 9O0, ,S54, 3O2 It will be seen from the above table that thus far the war with Spain has cost the country less in pensions than any other in which it was engaged in the past. The total was only $3,275, 1S4. The Indian wars. from 1882 to 1S42, cost $5,S14,207 on account of service simply, without regard to disability. The war with Mexico involved disbursements
 amounting to $31, ,S61, 33S on the same
 basis, and the war of 1912 called for the
 expenditure of $45. .2s7 in service pensions. The cost of the revolutionary war in pensions is estimated at $70.000.- 900. All other records are, of course, dwarfed by that of the civil war This gigantic struggle left a pension bill
 which 1t has thus far cost $2,744, ,S7S. .276 to discharge. The total cost of the pen
 sions for all the wars amounts, as will
 be seen. to not far from s3,000. 900. 900.
 It has been said several times during the last decade or so that the pension
 roll had reached high-water mark. but the total number of names on the roll at the close of the last fiscal year is the largest yet recorded.

THE CALIFORNIA WINE TRADE


 Statistics of the wine exports of the state for the fiscal year ending June 90, 1902. published in the current num- Der of Pacific Wine and Spirit Review, makes an excellent and highly encour- aging showing for the industry. The grand totals both by sea and by rail are given in the following table:
 Fiscal year ending June 30, 1902 cases. by rail. il............ 56, ,139 Cases, by sea-. ...................... S,766

 Increase in all exports of case goods over previous fiscal year, 6.21S cases.
 Increase in all exports of bulk goods over previous fiscal year. 553, ,352 gal Ions.
 The Review goes on to point out that this growth in our wine export trade has been obtained despite the efforts of portion of the eastern jobbing trade ito substitute cheap sophisticated wines for the pure products of the state." We shall O; course have all ways to meet that fraudulent conpe- tition until some kind of well devised national legislation can be enforced for the prevention of the adulteration CT sophietice tion of articles of food and of drink.

The Philippines are Rich.

Ernest Weeks, a young man
who worked for Doty Brothers on
their ranch on The Muddy, several
years ago, was here Thursday for
a short visit. Weeks has been
visiting his former home in Colo
RADIO, having recently returned
from the Philippines. He en-
listed at the beginning of the
Spanish-American war and after
serving his enlistment spent some
time prospecting the interior of
Luzon. He secured the services
of two natives to whom he paid
fifteen cents a day each and went
into the interior visiting tribes
who had never seen a white man.
He found some placer mines and
was able to pan out as high as
S27 in a single day, but the ma
laria with which his system had
become impregnated while soldier
ing in the swamps compelled him
to return to Manila for medical at
tention and the doctors advised
him to get out of the country for
awhile.
Weeks says the mountain coun-
try OF Luzon is very similar to the
mountains of Colorado and Wyo-
ming, and he thinks some very
rich copper and gold mines will
be discovered.-RawlIns Repub-

Hot Weather Hints.

Hot weather common sense is
again in order. Fortunately the
summer garb of orr people has
within the last few years been
adapted to the tropical conditions
in which We must live for two of
three months. Rational people
have learned also to modify their
diet and their drinking with some
regard to the thermometer. Some
men would think it a crazy per-
Torrance to feed a furnace ia Ju-
ly do not see the folly of stocking
their systems with heat producing
red meats and frey wines and
liquors. A large part of the suf-
fering and mortality during the
heated term is due to errors of
diet. Next to these the rush hab.
it is to be avoided. Start a little
earlier or arrive a little later, but
don't hurry in hot weather New

Made Strike in Gold Coin.

Gus Jensen, president of the
Badger State Mining Co., which
owns the Gold Coin, paid that
property a visit last week. He
reports the work of sinking the
shaft under the contract as prog
ressing very we'll. The contract
ors began sinking at the bottom
of the old shaft, which was 50 feet
in depth. At a depth of about
60 feet they struck a fine body of
ore which looks to be very rich.

Replsnishing Streams with Trout Fry

Last Saturday a team arrived
here from the railroad with 81 5000
trout fry from the state fish hatch
cry at Laramie for distribution in
the waters of this valley.
c.. w. Scott placed $4,000 in the
river here at the bridge; 5000
went to Horace A. Nichols at En-
campment, where they will be
placed in the Encampment river;
5000 more went to W. E.. Tilton,
at the mouth of Brush creek on
the Platte river; 5000 to w. G.
Forney on Jack creek and 5000 to
@. NJ. Wilcox, to be placed in Cow
creek.
The fry were all in splendid
condition and there can be no
doubt but what they will all live
and grow to be food for the people
of the valley.

RUDEFEHA MINING COMPANY
A Group Of Claims, Situated on an Ex-
tension Of the Ferris-Haggarty Mine,
Organized into q Company by Indiana
Men.

G. d. DE Witt, of Rudefeha, has
owned four claims ON an extension
of the Ferris Haggarty mine for
several years. The proposition
was a very promising one and he
has associated w. L. Smith, of
Morristown, and j. E. West, of
Fairfield Ind, with him and form
ed a company recently, which is
to be known as the Rudefeha Min
ing Co., with a capitalization of
100000. The shares are s.
each and worcestershire.
The directors for the first year
are w. T. Smith, j. E. West, and
@. ID. De Witt; and at the election
of officers w. Il. Smith was chosen
president, j. E. West vice-presi-
dent and treasurer, and G. d. De
Witt secretary.
The four claims are all located
on one lead, which a be plainly
traced over the top of the noun
tain to within a quarter of a mile
southeast of the Rudefeha mine
and it was the opinion of Hon.
George Ferris, expressed before
his death, as we'll as that of Hon.
[. G. miller, the president of the
Ferris Haggarty Mining Co., that
the claims are on an extension of
the lead which has made that mine
SO deservedly famous as a cop

these Indiana people do well in
this venture and we believe they
are in one of the pest locations

Presbyterian church here last
week, commencing Thursday ev-
ening. The attendance was good

where Rev. Brundage will preach
the installation sermon at the in
stallation of Rev. Giffen.
The singing of Mr.. Schureman
was very much enjoyed by our
people. He has a splendid voice,
one full of expression and feeling
and it will be many days indeed
before the sound of his voice will
have died out of our memory.

sheepmen Warned.

The following notice appears in
last weeks issue of the Battle
Lake Miner, in connection with
the sheep troubles in that section:
'To the herders and camp own
ers, warning:
"Sheep herders and camp NOV
ers are requested by the citizens of
Battle Lake to not bring their
herds across the North Fork of the
Encampment creek, on the south
of the township of Battle Lake,
or across Cow creek on the north
side of said township.
"This notice is intended as q
warning to all sheepmen and theii
employees to refrain from encroach.
ing on pasturage that is absolutely
necessary to the citizens of this
community, and in case of viola.
ton thereof, the residents of Bat.

In Mad Dog Days.

If dogs could speak in human
language, very few of them would
ever go mad, either actually or in
the imagination of persons. If a
dog could stop you in the street,
and say: please, sir, will you
give me a drink of water?"
there would be few cases of actual
rabies, aud fewer cases of imagin-
airy rabies.
But, as long as the dog cannot
do that, why not anticipate his
needs, and therefore not
only to his own benefits, but our
own safety, by providing public
drinking fountains for him? We
do so for the horses; but, as a
rule, these are too high for the
dogs To use. AS a matter of fact,
the drinking places provided for
the horses are altogether too few.
There should be many more of
them, says the Buffalo Times, and
each one should be constructed so
al to include a smaller reservoir,
near enough to the ground to per
nit even a little yellow dog to
drink therefrom.

LIGHTED BY ELECTRICITY.

Saratoga is now lighted by cleo

The other towns of the state
will please take notice that we are
now in the procession and very
near the head of it, too, and we
we propose to keep very close to
the band wagon from this time on.
On Thursday night the electric
light plant was set in motion and
the light was turned on up until
about 11:30. Everybody was out
promenading the streets and driv-
ing around, enjoying the novelty
of the situation. Regular service,
however, did not begin until the
following night, August LIST, when
town was kept lighted and the
electric light company commenced
filling its contract with the city.
The large arc lamps, of which
there are four, give very brilliant
lights. The globe gives the light
a very beautiful tinge of blue as it
falls on the ground, restful 10 the
eye and very beautiful in it's effe CT
The 32 candle power lamps which
have been placed on the large iron
bridge which spans the river, give
an abundance of light and that
structure is as light as need be
both for travel and for a promen-
ade for anyone desiring it.
Nearly all of the saloons and
many other of the business houses
have heen lighted, including the
Hotel Wolf, and the work of put
ting in other lights as they are re-
quired will go forward from this
on until all who wish are supplied.
So far the light gives satisfac-
ton and it is believed the com
pany will give good service.
