mill.
At the time the establishment of
a mandatory in any part of Amer
lea. was considered a. bold and danger
Gus experiment and hailed by press
and people as a patriotic act. Skilled
workmen were rare, and it was more
difficult to reach a market few
miles distant than it now is to encir-
Gle the globe. There were only few
paper mills and these were obliged to
shut down frequently for lack of
operators or of raw material. There
was no systematic method of collect
ing rags and much of the product Of
the mills was carted about the country
and exchanged for rags and a little
money. While the colonies were I'M
der English rule it was the policy to
repress colonial manufactures. The
few that grew up were forced TO their
full capacity during the Revolutionary
War and threatened with extinction
when the peace of 1888 permitted the
impor ration of foreign goods, thus linn
iting by competition the sale of do
meStic manufactures.

defended the prisoners who were. with

months. and the experience he gained
then stood him in excellent stead when
he became states attorney.
There was this characteristic about
him while he was engaged in this
work: he would not always contend
that his client was not guilty. Per-
haps he was guilty, but had sufficncient
evidence been brought out to prove
him guilty? This line of reasoning
brought him no little success, and
eventually led to his being retained
in cases of more and more Importance,
in which the fee was not merely a
passing thanks or shake of the hand
from some poor devil of a fellow.
But before these more substantial
fees began coming in, young Deneen
had to seek the cheap basement res

From the Chicago Chronicle.
Zenas Crane was the first paper
maker in the United States, and it
is recorded in the archives of Mas
sachusetts that he spent his first night
in Berkshire at a little wayside inn,
within a stones throw of where the
handsome residences and thriving mills
of his descendants now stand and al
most on the identical spot where his
grandson, formerly Governor of Mas
sachusetts, superintends the vast ma
chinery of the famous mill where all
the paper for United States money is
manufactured. But the pioneer;
weary from the long journey on horse
back and without any capital save
brains and an Independent spirit could
scarcely have prophesied the proper
lions to which the seed he was about
to plant would grow. In fact, it was
not until two years later that the
money was raised and partners secur-

also informed that his offspring had

a hen was ashamed to look the patient
fowl in the face.
Left His Bride for a Case.
Six years after going TO Chicago
Mr.. Deneen was married, but his law
practice had not become so extensive
that he could afford to miss a case
So when a murder was committed in
the stock yards on the day of his
wedding, and he was notified that his
services were wanted in the case. he
felt compelled to leavez his bride of a
few hours and grapple firmly the piece
of good legal fortune that had befallen
him.
While he struggled upward as a
lawyer, Mr.. Deneen interested himself
in politics. He took to it as a duck
does to water. Politics was bred in
his bones. His great grandfather had
been Speaker of the Illinois House of
three legislatures. His grandfather
was County Surveyor, and his father
was always more or less active in
politics. The son began right at the
beginning in the precinct. His hand
shake and his voice soon gained him
a wider field. Then his ability as a
political adviser became evident; grad
ually he evolved into the leadership
of his ward, and the first thing the
old bosses knew young Deneen had
been nominated for and elected to
the Legislature.
This was in 1898. In the ten years
following ne has become a leading
political figure not only in Illinois,
but in the nation, because of the fight
that will be made around him by the
Republicans on the one side to carry
the state for Roosevelt and by the
Democrats on the other to secure the
electoral votes for their Presidential
standard bearer-electoral votes that
may decide who the country's Presi-
dent for the next four years will be.

City Dads and Railroad ofncials will
Get Together on Crossings DIM
Guilty According to Attorney Judson.

What threatened to be a clash be-
tween the police and the Northern
Pacific railway in regard to keeping
open the street crossing at Sprague
avenue and Division street was avert
ed this morning when Corporation
Counsel Judson received a letter from
Manager Thomas Cooper stating that
he would be in Spokane within the
month and would see that all diff
culties between the city and the rail
road were settled.
I'VE are willing to see that the
people of Spokane received all their
rights in the matter OF the crossings
on Division street and Sprague avenue
and the crossing in Brownies addition
and think we can come to an agree
ment as soon as arrive in Spokane"
Orders which were given to the
police this morning by the police COM
missioners to see that the way was
kept open it is thought will be re-
voked.
Mr.. Judson stated this morning
that nothing would be done in the
matter until the arrival of Mr. Cooper,
He sent word to the manager of the
railroad this morning to that effect.

His Criticisms.

editor in the papers of his county
upon his return home.
Archer had his remarks written out
in manuscript form and he dealt with
the editors history from his parent
age down. He spared no adjectives
and the paper was sensational In the
extreme. After the reading Of this
paper the president of the meeting
stated that no formal action would
be taken in regard to the press criti-
cisms referred to, but that Member
Archer's remarks voiced the senti-
ment of the members.
The railroads were hard hit today
by an increase Of Is cents a foot on
the rolling stock valuation. Next
years valuation was fixed at 40 cents
against 25 cents for last year on first
and second class roads. Third, fourth
and tifth classes remain as before.
This means an increase from 1890 to
$2110 a mile. which, on the bases of
last years figures, means a lump in
crease of $2.004.552. This is consid-
cred a very heavy increase and, taken
with the increase on the roadbed, will
cause the railroad managers bad
night.
Committees on mining, timber
oyster lands, live stock. steamboats,
and banks reported. Mines are to be
left to the individual county assessors
to act upon the best information OBJ
tainable. The best timber land Is
