Very Strongly Condemned by Gran

Jury.
To the Editor OF the New DOMINION.
There is quite an interesting re-
yival service being held In the M. K.
church at Granville under the minis
try of the Rev. MARBLE. The excer-
ciscs have been very interesting and
profitable. The work of the minister
far above the average, and the citizens
Of this little village have show n much
concern, there being Is or 90 grown
persons at the altar. On Sunday eve
Mig lot OF Hoodlums in the guise Of
young men put in an appearance.
During the services and afterwards
their conduct was outrageous. AS
they came from Morgantown they con.
cluded to form in procession as they
left the village and did so, marching
through the streets, singing "What
the He'll do we Care". Now some Of
us care-and we will keep on caring
and intend to see that the Grand Jury
takes hold OF these Blackguards who
should never venture outside OF your
town limits until they learp how to
conduct themselves properly.

Occurred in the Tunnel.

The following account of the col
ision in the tunnel yesterday was
given in the Denver papers:
''Westbound Rio Grande passenger
train No. 3 which left Denver at I
30 p. m. yesterday, collided with an
extra eastbound freight in the mid
die of Tennessee pass shortly after G
O'Clock yesterday morning.
The passengers were badly shaken
up by the impact. hut no one is le-
ported seriously hurt.
They were precipitated against tie
seats and sides of the cars and the
most inteuse excitement prevailed.
When it became known that col
lision had occurred the screams of
women and children rendered the
work of the train crew in getting the
tains apart most difficult. The tun-
mel was narrow and filed with foul
air and smoke. and for a while it was
feared the passengers would suffo.
cate. With much difficulty the trains
separated and No. 3 backed out of the
tunnel and took the siding at Ten
nessee pass station, allowing the
freight to pass through.

OPTIMISM AT 10 CENTS PER

Did you ever stop to consider
that the business Of mining is
based on confidence and optimism?
While confidence plays an impor-
tant part in all business, to make
a success in mining we must have
a plentiful supply OF optimism, In
dividually and collectively, Every
one interested, directly or indi-
rectly, in mining should be an op-
timist and should help along the
industry at every turn and in
every conceivable way.
The more "noise" made for each
mining section, the more capital is
forthcoming for developing the
mines of that section. The more
work done, the more shippers and
dividend payers developed, the
more is enhanced in value every
interest in that section. Every in
dividual stockholder should con-
stitute himself a committee Of one
to further the best interests, not
only of his own company, but OF
every enterprise in the district in
which his company is operating.
He should make all the "noise
he can for his district and interest
other investors in enterprises there.
The more that become interested,
the more is indirectly benefited
his own individual holdings.
Stockholders should consider it
a duty to talk up their own com
panies and the districts in which
they are interested. They should
continually sound its praises
make all the "noise" they can,
and be optimistic all the time

the compromise was agreed upon
by the board for. taxes due for the
year 1902-03, whereby it agreed to
accept sum of about $4,000 less
than the amount due as per the
assessment for the year Sitting
rs a Board of Equalization, at the
same time, the assessment for 1908
was reduced from $3,000,O00, in
round numbers, to about $1,20O,-
900. The latter action, however,
did not figure in the suit subse-
quently brought by E. S. Clark,
who asked for q writ OF certiorari
on the compromise.
In his petition he set out the be-
lief that the board had exceeded
it's authority in compromising the
tax case.
The Board employed f. E. Elm
wood to represent it and he entered
a general demurrer, but, which, as
a matter of fact, raised the three
essential points in the case as fol-
lows:
First-That the Territory of Ari-
zona was not the proper party to
bring the action.
Second-That the action of the
board was discretionary and not
judicial.
Third - That statements have
been made in the petition for the
writ which did not appear of record
and upon the record alone the
Board Of Supervisors would be
presumed to have been regular and
legal.
In overruling this demurrer, the
Court practically decides all the
points at issue, and it means that
the case has been won by the tax
payers, for which they owe debt
of gratitude to E. S. Clark.
Mr.. Clark was assisted in the
case by Attorney General Wells
and the law firm of Andrews q

great assistance, Mr.. Pattee giving

In THE course of hearing which
a Senate committee accorded the
other day to advocates of Consti-
tutional amendment establishing
woman suffrage a former Governor
of a Western State explained that
he was personally acquainted
with 10000 women voters " and
was prepared to assert that the
right to vote did not detract from
their womanly instincts as mothers
and wives, nor mar their feminine
refinement" One hardly knows
which is the more surprising-the
singularly extensive "circle" of
this gentleman's female personal
acquaintance, or his marvelously
minute knowledge of the charac-
ters of his "lady friends" When
one thinks of the magnitude of the
studies that are necessary in order
to be prepared to assert" thing
of that kind one is consumed with
envy of the intellect that could
endure the strain ! 1t is not sur
prising that such man became
Governor; the wonder is that he
did not become two. - Ambrose
