STAND TAKEN BY
THE MACHINISTS

The heads of the thirty-five plants in the
city employing machinists have refused to
sign contract presented to them by the
men, in which it is asked that they agree
to pay 80 cents an hour for labor during
the coming year. The contract was to have
taken effect on May 1.
Though that rate is no higher than Is now
being paid after the Employers Association
investigated the matter ii decided that 1t
was not the best thing to do. Members dis
covered, they say, that only three shops
in the city have written contracts with their
men. 1t is also said by the association that
all of the employing machinists run open
shops.

Chased AwheeI and AfOot.

Trusting more to the speed and endurance
of his legs than TO the bicycle which he
was riding, Hey Clark, 337 Anderson street,
abandoned the wheel which he was ac-
cused of stealing yesterday and continued
his flight afoot, closely pursued by Bike
men Hull and Wilson. The chase was a
long one and attracted a great crowd of
negroes, who enjoyed the finish, at the rear
of Lafayette place, and saw Clark meekly
taken away in the patrol wagon. Clark S

he tried to use in his escape first directed

HEAVY REPAIRS FOR
COUNTY GRAVEL ROADS

Yesterday was gravel road" day with
the Board OF County Commissioners and
the demand on the county for these repairs
was heavier than it has been for many
years, caused by the large number of wash
outs by the recent floods. Six thousand
dollars was paid out 10 the different
road supervisors in the county for the
repairs in the various districts. WASH
ington and Decatur townships suffered
most in this particular and in many in
stances roadways for a long distance were
washed out completely.

Does advertising pay? Well,
three St. Louis shoe firms in
creased their business a total of
100000 in the year 1903, an in
crease that was never known be-
fore. All of them advertised.
AS a coincident, three St. Louis
shoe firms quit business in 1903.
None of them advertised.
The shoe man who told the
above is not a member of either of
the first three or of the second
three shoe firms, but he is a be-
lever in advertising nevertheless,
whose firm has done as we'll in pro-
portion to the capital employed.
The point he makes is forcible
and understandable. The leaders
advertise. A growing business
needs it, and a business that uses
it grows.-Shoe and Leather Ga

Silver as a Reflector.

Silver is we'll known to be the
best metal for rejecting light; by
means of high polish, it can be
given brightness which surpasses
that of any other metal; it is of an
almost faultless white color with a
very faint trace of yellow. AL
though silver counts among the
precious metals, it is of little use
in close vicinity to electric arc
lamps; for silver mirrors, probably
owing to the influence of ozone,
which is always produced in small
quantities by the glowing wire,
quickly lose their brightness and
become dull. Under similar con-
ditions metal palladium remains
unaffected, and Furthermore it is
of nearly the same witness as
silver. In an article lately pub
lished in German electro-chemi-
cal paper the way to manufacture
rejecting mirrors out of this very
expensive palladium natal is de-
scribed, as follows: The outward
curved, paraboloidal surface of the
glass model of a mirror is first
thinly covered with silver, and
then a thicker copper covering is
put on. By means of heat the
metal cover is removed from the

A Timely Warning.

1t may be interesting to some
who have slipped in "just a few
words" of writing in a package OF
paper or merchandise mailed at
the lower rates to their friends
that the abuse has become so COM
mon that postmasters have been
instructed to examine such pack
ages and report it, if writing is
found, to the department officials.
The next the sender knows will be
a visit from a Deputy United
States Marshal with a warrant of
arrest, with the result of having
to pay a fine of S25 and the cost

mas county, at least fifteen or per
haps twenty miles from the line of
his proposed railroad" up Feath-
er river. AS all of the claims are
on land heavily timbered l think
it must be the timber he is after"
OF course it is timber he is after,
but he is riding rough-shod, over
the rights of miners to further his
piratical ends and Benjamin, who
is receiving $1,000 per year from
a few machinery houses which are
led by him to believe that the
California Miners Association" of
which he is secretary, represents
the miners, is helping him to steal
timber and mineral land.
The official paper of the Cali
fornnia Water and Forest Asso-
citation says in reference to these
ldnQ IODDeTleS:
"The withdrawal of some I2,-
600, 900 acres of land in Northern
California for examination under
the Forest Reserve law, has had
one important result. 1t has put
an end to the vast system of
frauds that was rapidly turning
the forest and mineral lands of the
State into the possession of few
INSCRIPTIONS landgrabbers.
How extensive these frauds
have been may never be known;
but that they are enormous in
extent is sufficiently shown by the
investigation of the Government
agents, and the testimony in the
trials that have been held before
the Federal District Court. Al
though many of the witnesses on
whom the Government depended
have escaped from the State,
enough evidence was brought out
in the recent trials to lead a jury
to bring in a verdict of guilty
against those of the conspirators
who were put on trial, though a
technicality of law has enabled
them to escape from punishment.
But the evidence has shown that
systematic spoilation of the Gov
ernment forest and mineral lands
has been going on for years. Men
have been hired in shoals to file
on land they had never seen, and
to perjure themselves by swearing
to a compliance with conditions
that they never had the oppor-
tunity or intention to meet. The
lands have been turned over to
the land-grabbers for a trifling
consideration. The Mining and
Engineering Review.

AFTER LAND GR.ABBERS
Their NefariOus Work Injurious to Mining as
Well as Other Industries.

| ISSeHldtlVe OF tne sacramento Bee,
advances new principle of min
ing law in defense of his unlawful
seizure of mineral and timber land
in California. 1t is Mexican law,
and perhaps better law then we
have in the United States, but un-
fortunately for the Yard-Benj amin
land-grabbing ring, it is not United
States law. Here is Mr.. Yards
idea of the Federal mining laws as
quoted in the Bee:
"If you have timber claim and
even if it is patented and | come
along and find mineral, | can file
a claim. The result would be that
you would own the trees and |
would own the minerals. If you
have placer claim and | come
along and find lode or quartz
vein, my claim supersedes yours" )"
eve thing we can see Lindley
and Ricketts, smile.
Whatever Mr.. Yards opinion of
the laws regarding the location of
mining claims may be, it is an un-
disputed fact that he and Benja-
min, his advisor, have clouded the
titles of many locators, who had
complied with all the required
conditions of the Federal laws,
some of whom were actually work
ing their claims at the time that
the Yard Benz jamin hired locators
went through the farcical opera
tion of stalking and locating I3o,-
600 acres of timber and mineral
land in Plumas and Butte counties,
covering by illegal claims not one
valid location but mines in actual
operations.
In order to steal mineral land
with some semblance of being
within the law, the Yard Benja
min combination organized the
Northern California Mining Co.,
which is the parent company to
the Indian Valley R. K. Co. and
the Butte & Plumas r. r. Co. and
filed on 600 mineral claims of 100
acres each in the two counties
named.
Now, the facts are that Yard, as
we are informed, is simply pro-
moter, with no capital of his own
to either mine or build railroads;
that he and Benjamin are work
ing" the public, for they know, or
they should know, that they can
not hold the mineral land" To-
Gated by them, for the reason that
mineral has been discovered on
only a small portion of it; that
they cannot hold their timber To-
cations if their claims are contest
ed, for the reason they were IL
legally made; and finally, that the
whole business looked like a fieec-
ing operation, with eastern lambs
as victims.
As an instance of how Yard and
Benjamin are operating, 1--WE use
Benjamins name advisedly, be-
cause it was through his advice
and cooperation that Yard came
to California, and that it was inn
possible for him to begin and
to carry on operations here), we
give the following extract from
letter written by a resident of
Bangor, Butte county:
"Out of forty-fve quarter sec
tions that Yard did assessment
work on in township "a north,
range 7 east, he did not have over
four or five notices. He neverthe
less sank shaft or ran drift on
each quarter. The land | speak

in Comps
New York April 15.-Drastic action
against cut rate tickets has been taken
by the Theatrical Managers associa-
ton of New York In order to stop the
traffic in billboard tickets, carried on
chiefly in small tobacco shops through
out the theatrical district a resolution
was adopted providing that after Au-
gust 1 no member of the association
shall use or permit to be used any
form of advertising for which tickets
of admission may be given, and that
no advertising shall be done in New
York by Autographs otherwise than
rented boardings, photographs, hang
ers, banners, etc.
Another resolution to charge ten
cents each on complimentary tickets
up to the number of ten for each the
alter each night is expected to add
sufficient revenue to the actors fund
to do away with the necessity of bene-
fits.

ayers which shall have among other
objects these reforms

maid in family in New Jersey. In all
the years of her married life the mis-
tress of that household never enjoyed
such peace and satisfaction as when
gentle, neat handed Haru was with her.
This golden maid busted the rare brio
a-brac with hands that showed she
loved it. She counted every day the
silver, even the drinking glasses. Once
she came and informed the house mis-
tress that one drinking glass was miss
ing. She could not account for it, she
said, only it just wasn't there. Then it
transpired that the lady of the mansion
herself had broken the glass and had
failed to report it to the maid.
The eagerness of the Japs to learn
western ways is accounted for in one
word-patriotism. The awakening in
1853 of the island empire from its 1000
years sleep was followed by an out
burst of nationalism only equaled by
that in our land at the outbreak of the
revolution. One idea arose suddenly in
the Japanese breast-we viii become a
great sea people, modern nation
among nations. The astonishing feats
If the Jap navy, the indomitable jap
DARING and persistence, come from a
love of country that no other oriental
race knows.
The women caught the fame of pa
triotism from their men; they enkin-
died it in their children; they began to
feel pride and love for their land.
Nine. Uchida, wife of the japanese
consul general at New York, said when
the news of the first victory of the mi
kado's men over the Russians reached
her: ooh, I am so happy at the news!
But now could it be any other way

japanese women in America are rails
ing fund of $1,000 for the Red Cross
society of their native land.
So has been developed the new wo-
man of Japan, hustling. busting, like
the capable American woman, yet still
full of the thought of loving service.
In Honolulu is published the only daily
japanese newspaper in the Hawaiian
Islands, and its business manager is a
japanese woman, very successful in
her enterprise. A few years ago a uni
versity for women students was es-
tablished at Tokyo The government
also maintains 2 trade school for girls.
The empress of Japan herself may be
said to head the new woman movement
of her country. She herself establishe ed
in Tokyo a hospital which is the finest
in Asia, and she maintains it out of her
private purse. She has a palace of her
own, separate from that of the mika-
do, her husband This imperial ladys
name is Haru-ko. "Haru" means the
''springtime" and it is a not uncom-
mon given name for girls in Japan.
When Earu-ko was married she re-
fused to conform to the old japanese
custom which required all japanese
wives to blacken their teeth. Conse-
quently this hideous fashion has most
ly gone out. to the great improvement
of the beauty of Jap women. Empress
Haru-ko keeps well informed of the
new woman movement of western
countries. There is, however. in ia
pan a Salic law against women occu-
plying the throne as rulers. 1t was
adopted in 1889.
