Railroad Passenger Agents Taking Lib
critics with the Press.

General passenger agents are en-
deavoring, to distance one another in
stories of wonders along their lines.
G.. IT. MacRae of the Omaha started
out with a story to the effect that
fast train was stalled near Lake Crys-
tai by the lifeblood Of millions of frogs
on the track congealing on the running
gear. W. B. Dixon of the Milwaukee
road followed with a tale that train
on the La Crosse division was stopped
by field mice, which were drawn into
the trucks and axle bearings by cen
trifugal force while migrating across
the right of way. Arthur B. Smith of
the Northern Pacific has just received
q, wonderful ''pipe' telegram stating
that the North Coast Limited ran into

WHATS DOING OUT wEsT?''
Stock Question Fired by Eastern Rail-
road Men at F. L Whitney.

Confirmation of the reports that the
east now watches the west is contained
in an interview yesterday with F.. |.
Whitney, general passenger agent Of
the Great Northern road who has lust
returned from visit to eastern offices
of the line. Mr.. Whitney said: "Things
are extremely dull in the east; there
seems to be very little doing. Eastern
people want to know what the condi-
tions are in the west. It was not very
long ago that New York and little
strip along the Atlantic coast thought
it regulated the business of the country.
Now they realize that there is a great
west out here, and that it has moro
to do with the business than they. So
they are keeping their ears pretty close
to the ground
81 did my best to let them know
what the conditions out here are, and
you may be sure. they did not get any
gloomy reports'

Figures That Tell of Prosperity

The department. of commerce and
labor sends out some interesting figures
showing the comparative increase in
manufactures in the United States COM
pared with the increase in other coun-
tries.
1t appears that during the period
1880 to 1903 the growth of production
of manufactures in the United States
is estimated at $5,932, 100000, and in
three European countries-the United
Kingdom, Germany and France-the
combined production was $3,S63, 100000;
the percentage Of increase for the
United States is IS, while that for the
three European countries combined Is
AZ per cent. In other words, the value
of manufactures has been increasing
twice as fast in the United States as In
Europe during the past two decades.
But a more satisfactory Indication of
the increase in manufactures than it is
possible to obtain from the aggregate
Of the output of all the factories may
be found in the consumption of pig iron,
coal and cotton, which enter so largely
into the manufacturing business Of a
country. Figures with regard to the
consumption of these materials are
available, and from them it appears that
while the United Kingdom, Germany
France and Russia have increased their
consumption Of pig iron by l1,51S,OOO
tons, or 102 per cent, the increase
In consumption of pig iron in the United
States for the same period amounts to
1925, 454 tons, or 437 per cent.
In the consumption of coal the four
European countries named show an in.
crease of 50 per cent from 1880 to 1908
the United States of 364 per cent, the
totals for 1908 being 3SS,S63,O 900 for
the former and 316,O69,OOO tons for the
latter.
AS to cotton, the increase in consump,
ton in the United Kingdom, Germany
and France PRUSSIA omitted), from 1880
to 1908, was only 46 per cent, while
In the United States it was 107 per cent
Germany shows a more healthy con-
dition of her industries, next to the
United States, than is to be found else
where. She has increased her con-
sumption of pig iron by 366 per cent
her consumption Of coal by ia per cent
and her consumption of cotton by l7O
per cent, in this particular excelling the
percentage Of increase II & the United
! States, altho in actual consumption Ger.
many shows the use of less than 100000,
600 tons of pig iron as against 10000.
600 tons in the United States, 100000,
600 tons of coal as against 316,OOO,OOC
tons in the United States, and 815,OOO,
600 pounds of cotton compared with
l,9S0,0OO,000 pounds in the United
States.
Great Britain, of course, is the great
est consumer of cotton next to the
United States, with a record in 1903 OF
1,488, 100000 pounds. Great Britain
also leads Germany by 100000 tons
in the consumption of coal, while Ger
many excels Great Britain by 10000
tons of pig iron.
The wonderfully strong position OF
the United States as manufacturing
nation is also Indicated by the fact that
the United States uses pretty nearly as
much pig iron, coal and cotton as Great
Britain, Germany, France and Russia
combined.

Some months ago the department of
agriculture denounced the ''goosebone"
and astrological people known as long
range weather forecasters. 1t was
pointed out that while these people are
not all deliberate swindlers, they are,
without exception, humbugs. They de-
cetve hosts Of credulous and ignorant
people into purchasing and even gov
ersling their affairs by ridiculous and
worthless prognostications. The weather
bureau has just issued a fresh warning
against these so-called prophets. This
warning will probably have little effect
Yet the two chief fakirs have, during the
last summer, been invariably wrong.
Their predictions were nowhere near the
reality. But the people, or a certain
class of them. will buy their 'almanacs''
and monthly forecasts just the same.

PARDONED OR PAROLED
The Terms of Three Prisoners Short
 ened Yesterday.

Mercy was extended by Governor Brodie yesterday to three inmates of the penitentiaIy or the county jail. The first was Tah Pah Contraris. an In- dian serving a six months sentence in the Maricopa county jail for giving ii- quOr to another Indian. He was sent to the jail last summer by Justice Root of Agua Caliente. The statement made by the incarcerated Indian is that along in the summer he was sui fering of a bad ease of rheumatism and he went to the springs at Agua Caliente for the medicinal benefit he might derive from those waters. In or der to facilitate the work of the wat CTS he had a flask of whisky from which he drank betimes. One day a man who he thought was Mexican came along and asked in Spanish for a drink Tah Pah told him to help him self and he did so to such an extent that he soon invited the attention of the officers of the law who took him in- to custody and ascertained where he got his start. It turned out that the man was an Indian under the care of an Indian agent. Tah Pah was arrest

guilty so that there will be not more than five criminal cases to be tried. In the beginning it was thought that the criminal trial docket would be a long one but on the contrary it will be the shortest within recent years.
 The indictments found yesterday were the following: J. B. Woodward and Bissell Thomas, of which an ac- count appears elsewhere; L. W. Pal mer, late agent for the Singer Sewing Machine company, for embezzlement.
 Two charges of forgery against Thomas C.sHouck were ignored. Some time ago Houck cashed a check for S1CO at the New York store and anoth- CT for the same amount at the Red Light saloon. One of the checks bore the name of his father, J. D. HouclS. and the other had the same signature. though it appeared that the name had been written by a brother of the de fendant. who it was known had been authorized to sign the name of the elder Houck The case went through the justices court and young Houck was bound over. The case against him seemed to- be a strong one and his father announced that he would do nothing for his relief But his broth
 CT appeared before the grand jury and
 testified that having authority to sign
 the name of his father to cheeks he
 had extended that autholity to his
 brother. and that therefore the checks
 were good. On this showing the charg-
 es were dismissed.
 J. R. Cox, who had been indicted the
 day before for forgery, pleaded guilty
 and he will be sentenced on Octo1ar
 r. Frank Davidson, who had peladed
 not guilty the day before TOT an in
 dfctment for grand larceny yesterday
 withdrew his plea. and pleaded guilty.
 He will be sentenced tomorrow. Pal
 mer pleaded not guilty to the indict- ment of embezzlement against him and his trial was set for Friday. John Stanley. alias John Mechel. the deaf mute who had been indicted for forgery. will stand trial He had twice signified that he would plead guilty but his attorney believing that he did rot understand the question put to him. refused to enter the plea and yes terday afternoon by means of an inter- ] preter. he pleaded not guilfy. He admit 1 ted the cashing of a forged check for 9 i small amount while he was drunk but | he said the forgery had been commit ! ted by another man, who received half l the proceeds of the transaction. The only trial of special interest will | be that of Bert Starr for child stealing, which is set for next Monday, but it is i thought before that time Starr will | charge his plea.

ed and though the case was not direct ly within the jurisdiction of a justice of the peace, lhe was sent to the coun- ty jail. where for lack of the waters of Agua Caliente he is still suffering of rheumatism. Tah Pah was pardon ed.
 Bernard Coodstein. serving q ten year sentence in the penitentiary for a murderous assault upon his wife, was granted a parole. GOodstein was con victed and sentenced at Tucson in Oc- tober, 1901. The parole is granted at the request of many of the most prom inent people in the territory and on the recommendation Of the board Of con trol and the superintendent O. the pris- on. He is about to die and his only chance of recovery lies in his getting out of the prison. His prison record is good. Among the petitioners for the parole are residents of Philadelphia and Boston. Among the papers is letter from Lieutenant Governor Guild of Massa chusetts. who testifies to the good character of one of the petition CTS. It is stated that the reputation of GOodstein was good until he became entangled with the woman upon whom he made the assault. She led him a dogs life after their marriage, but the crowning act was her intimcay with Mexican at Tucson and when she has married since the confinement of Good stein in the peniteniary.
 The third beneficiary was James Scott, who was pardoned for the pur- pose of restoring him to citizenship as his time is about to expire. He was sent to Yuma from Gila county last December for period of one year for brreIarv
