To the Farmers,

Ny dear farmer friends and citizens
of Ohio county: About eighteen
months ago 1t dawned upon the mined
of one man In the United States that
the American Farmers condition
from a financial standpoint might be
made better than 1t exists to day.
The man referred to Is Mr.. J. A. Ever
EFT, of Indianapolis, and In order to
help the men who create the wealth,
he has perfected an organization,
known as the American Society of
Equity, with headquarters at the above
named city.
In organizing the farmers OF the
land and country it Is not the iaten-
ton to put the price on farm products
so high that the poor man cannot
touch them as some would have you
believe, but the object Is to have a
regular price for everything produced
on the farm.
The time has come when we as far
mers will have to cooperate Il we
wish to continue In business, not
simply to be more enlightened on the
subject of farming but necessity de
mands that we bind ourselves to-
gether In order to secure a more just
and equitable price for our products,
and to put ourselves on an equal foot.

the Chicago bootblack to the Stand.
ard oil magnate.
Before we can get ourselves In shape
to handle our product, we will frs
have to be organized by school dis
tricts, then by precincts, then by
county and so on. Under the presen
system of marketing our crops, WI
are under the direct control of set o
merciless and bloodsucklng Chicago
gamblers, whose every object Is to die

our stuff. Every man that Dough

man that buys a wheat drill this fall
will buy it from the American Seed
ing Machine company, it does not
matter what the name Of it Is. We
cannot buy anything we use on the
farm or about the farm without pat
ronizing trust In some form or 9TH
er, and we cannot afford to take
chances very much longer without an
organization of some kind when all
other classes of labor are organized.
We are the class of citizens that Gre
ate the wealth but the other fellows,
such as the Chicago grain gamblers,
the pork packers, machine mauutac-
turer &c, get the money and we get
the experience. Truly, .I

ENCOURAGING REPORTS.
Advices From All Parts of Country
Show Unmistakable Progress.

NEW YORK, Aug. 12.-R. G. Dun
& Co.'S weekly review of trade to-mor-
row will say:
Moderate improvement IN midsummer means
more than equivalent increase at any other
season, and the better trade reported during
the past week IS consequently most encour-
aging. Dispatches from all parts of the coun-
try are bv no means uniform, IN some cases
the outlook showing no change, while at few
points there have been SetbackSs but on the
whole the progress is unmistakable. Two labor
controversies are particularly harmful, but
others have been settled. The Fall River strike
has been broken and several threatened diff
CULTS have been averted. Despite some injury
to spring wheat the agricultural prospect is
very bright while higher prices promise to
neutralize the effect of such loss in quantity
as occurred Interior buyers have placed lib
eral fall orders in the leading dry goods mar
kets. and confidence in large spring trade is
becoming general The approaching Presiden-
tial election Is viewed with more equanimity
than any other contest Of recent years. both
in financial and Industrial circles. Net earn
ings of the railways making favorable
compa risons; gross earnings for July but

CITY OFFICIALS MAKE
INSPECTION OF CANNERIES
Satisfy Themselves That the CompuI-
sorry Education Law Is Con-
stantIy Violated.

Superior Judge Murasky, Superin-
tendent of Schools Langdon, School
Director Boyle and R. d. Faulkner,
principal of the San Francisco Pa
rental School, yesterday visited Fon-
tana's cannery and the American Can
Company's plant at the foot of Bat
terry street. Truant officers Floyd and
Campion accompanied the city officials,
their object being to learn whether the
compulsory education law is being
violated and to devise means to COM
pei children under IA years of age to
attend school.
1t was ascertained that the truant
officers had in their reports repre-
sented things exactly as they are.
Many children under IA were found
working in the cannery. They scam
pered in all directions on the appear
ance of the city officials. The children
are not on the pay roll, but accom-
pany their parents to peel the fruit
In the American Can Company's
factory boys under Ia are actually on
the pay roll. Principal Faulkner wa.

Police Commissioners Want, to Con-

Police Commissioners Want to Con-
troll Advancement in Department.
At a special meeting of the Police
Commissioners yesterday afternoon an
other charter amendment was proposed
for submission to the voters.
1t was in effect that section of
chapter be amended for the bet
ter efficiency of the department to
read as follows: "All promotions in
the Police Department shall be made
by the Board of Police Commissioners,
seniority and meritorious public ser
vice being considered" Section 1 of
chapter 9 was also amended by add
ing the words: Promotions shall not
be subject to the provisions of article
13."
1t has been a sore point with the
Chief and Commissioners ever since
the charter came into effect that in
efficient officers have been promoted
TO positions of command through
passing a civil service examination,
and Commissioner Howell voiced the
sentiments Of the department yester-
day when he said: Many sergeants
who took the civil service eXamina-
tions and failed would make better
lieutenants than those who passed.
This is not intended as a criticism of
civil service. which is well enough in
the first instance, but after the men
are in the department their superior
officers are the best judges of their
capabilities.
The proposed amendment that a
majority of the Superior Judges
should appoint the Police Judges was
not carried. Commissioners Hutton
and Howell voted in the affirmative
and Reagan and Drinkhouse in the
negative, making it a tie vote. 1t was
agreed, however, that Hutton and
Howell should as private citizens sub
nit the matter to the Board Of Su-
pervisors.

EXPLAINS PLAN
TO CLEAR RIVER
w. Fl. Hall Appears Before
Engineers Employed by
the Drainage Association
SILT CAUSES SHOALING
Erosion Will Work Sacra-
mento's Salvation if It Is
Given an Even Chance

Plans Of the distant past, devised to
control the flood waters of the Sacra-
mento River were explained in detail
yesterday to the Board Of Engineers,
employed by the River Improvement
and Drainage Association, by w. H.
Hall, formerly in charge of the re-
clamation work Hall first gave a sue
cinct history of the floods and the i'm
mense loss that has followed in their
wake and placed most of the blame for
the condition on the shoulders Of the
hydraulic miners, the debris from
whose works filed the streams for hun
dreds of miles around and ultimately
found it's way into the great rivers
that are now the subject of so much
concern.
The plans, Hall pointed out, had in
view, not the building Of levees along
the river so much as did the
temporary assistance OF the stream,
until it could work out its
own salvation by the process
of erosion. Hall pointed out that the
river, if debris was not constantly car
ried into it by the mountain streams,
would ultimately clear itself by the
erosive force of its flow. The question
that remained to be solved is: How
can debris from these mountain
streams be prevented from reaching the
main river until such time as it's wa
ters have secured its banks and bottom
and removed the tremendous amount of
silt that has raised it in many places
above the level Of the surrounding
country?
The most comprehensive plan, Hall
said, involved the interception of the
waters of the many small streams that
flow into. the Sacramento River from the
west having their source in the slopes
of the Coast Range. This plan would
necessitate the construction of an in
tercepting channel that would carry
these silt laden streams below the in
undated territory, or, If necessary, to
tide water
Going to the east side of the river, he
said the problem of controlling the de-
bris that is yearly carried down the
Feather River from the old hydraulic
workings must next be grappled with.
This plan would require the diversion
of the waters of the Feather River
into the great basins, where the slack
ening of the waters force would result
in the deposit Of silt 1t carried, and
then, comparatively clear, the stream
would again be turned into the Sacra-
mento River as far down as topography
would permit.
This is the plan in brief as explained
by Hall, but it was embelIished with a
fund Of technical points and conditions
that were apparently appreciated by the
board. Hall was thanked at the con-
clusion Of his talk and assured that the
same had given the members of the
board a fuller understanding of the
problem that is before them.

The joint committee on Finance and
Charter Amendments of the Board of
Supervisors yesterday reported in fav-
or of submitting amendments provid-
ing for an increase in the pay of lieu
tenants, engineers and hostlers in the
Fire Department, increasing the num-
Der of firemen in each company by two
and providing for sixty-three days va
cation each year for members OF the
Fire Department.
Petitions signed by 1900 voters were
filed requesting the submission of the
proposed amendments to the people
and under the law the board has no
alternative but to comply.
Several engineers of the Fire Depart
ment urged an amendpent fixing their
salaries at $140, but the committee in
formed them that the amendments al
ready adopted fixed the salary at
SIP so.
The committee reported in favor Of
the petition Of the Police Commission
that charter amendments be submitted
raising the eligible age limit for police
men from 81 to 25 years, providing for
three grades Of patrolmen at monthly
salaries of $780, $95 and 800, and limit
ing promotions to corporal to PATROL
men OF. the first grade after five years
service.
The committee ruled against the
amendment to create a new position
called Inspector of Police" and to in
crease the pay of police lieutenants to
1920 yearly.
The committee reported in favor Of
a charter amendment providing that
a permit for the construction of a spur
track shall be revocable at the pleas
ure of the Board of Supervisors and
shall only be granted under conditions
which the board may prescribe. The
amendment was called for by a petit
ton of the North Central Improvement
Association.
The petition for a charter amend
ment raising the salaries Of guards at
the jails from $50 to SIS was deferred
until the Sheriff shall be heard from.
City Attorney Long petitioned for an
amendment providing for an extra
stenographer and two additional depu-
ties in his office and the committee
ruled in favor Of it.
The petition of the Mission Improve
ment Club for an amendment permit
ting that a property owner may at his
own expense tear up the streets for
side sewers and other work under the
supervision of the Board of Works was
granted with the proviso that the cost

reports that the Metropolitan Gold
Mining Company, that has been oper-
aung the Allison group of mines, has
ceased to exist. Miners and Iaborers
are looking for their pay, with little
hope of getting it. Time checks were
issued for labor two months ago, but
no one would honor them. Some rich
rock was run through the mill, so says
the Echo, and the proceeds were
cleaned up and carried away. The
men were paid in time checks.
