PRESS AND PROMOTION.

The way San Francisco business con-
Germs support the newspapers in their
efforts to advance the interests of that
community, is aptly illustrated by the
number of copies of the recent special
edition of the Chronicle which are be-
ing received here from the San Fran
cisco connections of local houses. The
mercantile establishments of the coast
metropolis are making an organized
distribution TO their correspondents of
this special number. The advantage
to the City and State must be very
great and such support of the paper
by the merchants enables it to issue an
enormous pictorial edition. full of spe-
cial articles, without too great loss to
itself.
Few people have any idea of the

THE PANAMA CANAL.

The relations between the United
States and Colombia have been fully
ventilated, and now even the factious
minority in the Federal Senate appears
to have been driven into acquiescence-
in the course pursued by the Admins
tration. An Illuminating speech, how
ever, lately made by Assistant Secre-
tary of State Loomis, before the Quill
Club of New York, conclusively proves
the degradation of the Colombian Con-
gress, by which the discarded treaty
was rejected. He shows that the Co
lombian Government wanted delay, so
that the franchise to the French com
pany for the construction of the canal
would lapse, and the forty millions to
be paid for the work done be turned
into the Colombian treasury. An cleo
ton was ordered, in which the popu-

waiting for Mr.. Quinn to draw his
money. Originally the payroll for Mr..
Quinn read 10 days, making total of
$5S.52. The number of days have been
raised by someone to %, and the
amount to $8l.35. This was done sim
ply by drawing a couple of lines
through the original figures and plac-
ing the higher amounts above them.
There is nothing on the payroll sheet
to indicate whether Mr.. Quinn really
worked % days or only the 10 days
or which of the two amounts he should
receive. There is nothing about it to
indicate whether after the payroll was
made out it was decided to change it
and allow Mr.. Quinn to collect for
the time he was in Olympia, or wheth-
er the change was made merely with
the idea of figuring it in a different
way so as to allow Mr.. Quinn a little
more money for the same service. In
either. event, as the payroll now
stands, Mr. Quinn is to be allowed pay
for the time he was in Olympia.
A. L. Tillish is another of Mr.. GilPs
men who were at Olympia. He is
foreman in the street department and,
according to the payroll, he is entitled
to the 800 he draws per month, re-
gardless of the time he was away. Mr..
Tillish has already drawn his wages
for the month.

the CITY ANSWERS
HOWARD

The city has filed an answer to the
action brought by Henry Howard to
restrain the city from grading Cedar
street The attorneys for the city say
the city has exclusive control of the
streets. In July, 1908, an ordinance
was passed ordering the grading Of
Cedar street between Fourth and
Fourteenth avenues. Anyone who OBJ
jected to the ordinance was expected
to appear before the city council, but
the city alleges that Howard did not
make any complaint until the work
had been carried on for some time
and was about to be completed in
front of his property. The city al
leges that unless the work is allowed
to be resumed in front of the prop
erty held by Howard the street can
not be opened.
