THE czAR AND HIS MONEY
Enormous Income of the Russian
Emperor

From the Saturday Evening Post.
The fact that the czar has just made a
little contribution Of 500 100000 from his prl-
Vate purse to the Russian war fund reminds
us that Mr.. Rockefeller Is not the only rich
man I'm the world There are a few Others
and there Is hardly doubt that the Russian
monarch overtops the Standard OIL emperor
not only as the first OF autocrats. but as the
first OF plutocrats
Most royalties are very small potatoes H.
nancially compared with any one OF several
American millionaires Mr.. Rockefeller could
put all the sovereigns OF Europe, except the
czar, on his payroll at their present wages
without deprlving himself OF a single bowl
OF crackers and milk or ever lacking a quar-
ter 10 drop in the contribution box ON sun
day. He could pay the salary OF King Edward
or of the kaiser for year out OF a months
income. and hare something left for car fare
But the Russian emperor Is In different
class. In the imperial budget the allowance
for his household Is figured at the meager
rate OF about SS,000,00O a year, but that Is
merely the beginning Of his resources. He
owns great part OF Russia his private
property-mines, forests and ilimltable
stretches OF arabic lands. In European Russla
alone the strictly private dcmains OF the Inn
psrial family ara AZ large a. india. The state
owns twenty times as much more and the
czar Is the state In Siberia the imperial re-

sources are still more opulent. Most of the
rich mines Of gold, platinum and precious
stones are worked for the benefit of the czar
and his family.
But beyond all this. the emperor is the alb
soute master of the national treasury and all
its varied sources of income. In England
the king talks in his speeches of my army "
my navy and ''my exchequer," but all this
Is understood TO be a legal fiction Everything
is regulated by parliament, and the king
cannot touch a penny that is not appropriated
to his use. But in Russia the czar can speak
of my army and my navy In literal fact.
He could disband the whole outfit IL he
chose and poclset the money saved by the
operation. His civil list Is simply the amount
that he sees tit 10 dip out OF the treasury.
lie could double or triple 1t without asking
permission. The whole treasury Is
his, and all the taxing power OF the empire
to the limit OF the ability OF his subjects
to pay. Is IL not clear that the difhdent young
Nicholas is the richest man In the wofldg

SMALL FIRE CAUSED
BY A LIVE WIRE
DEPARTMENT MADE A RUN TO
STRONG RESIDENCE LAST EVEN
ING DURING FIERCE ELEC-
TRlCAL STORM.

About $50 o'clock last night the fire
department was called to the resi-
dence of Harry Strong, 724 South Third
street, to extinguish a small blaze
caused by a live wire becoming short
circuited on a gas pipe. The blaze
was quickly eXtinguished with chem
icals and the damage was very slight.
After the first alarm was telephoned
to the fire station and the wagon had
responded, another alarm was turned
in and "Don" and "Dan," the old fire
team, attached to the auxiliary wagon,
responded. There was a fierce elec-
trical storm in progress at the time
of the fire, and Don" does not like
lightning.
When Driver Mooney reached Rail
road avenue and started to make the
turn west, an unusually vivid flash OF
lightning caused 1Dop" to make a
lunge to one side, With the result that
the wagon came in contact with tel
ephone pole directly in front iof the
White Elephant. 'Ntl
The force of the collision threw
Mooney and Fireman George Bassett
off the wagon, but fortunately neither
was seriously hurt, although II Is q
wonder that both were not killed. The
horses were not hurt. 1t was through
no fault of the driver that the acci
dent occurred.

VEYEo LAND NEAR FORT STAN.
ToN-soUATTERs MUST MOVE.

The government has decided 10 in
crease the area Of the Fort Stanton
reservation in Lincoln county by add
ing a large block of land which lies
on the north side and as a result at
least four families will find themsel-
YES homeless. The order came 10 Uni.
ted States Marshal c. VI. Forakers
Office some time ago to have the peo-
pie living on the coveted land appear
in court and show why they should
not move their homes.
The land which the government pro-
poses to add 70 the Fort Stanton res
ervation is unsurveyed and has been
open land since time eternal, and of
course the best of IL was settled upon.
One family has lived upon one claim
for thirty years, another for twenty
one years, and two others have lived
on claims for about eight years each.
All the settled property is well i'm
proved and is all that these people can
call home.
United States Marshal Foraker car
ried out his instructions by dispatch
ing Deputy J. NJ. Wiley to these so
called trespassers summOning them to
appear before the courts. Mr.. Wiley

KINGDOM OF COOS
MAKES CONQUEST

Portland, Ore. Aug. did you
ever hear of Coos? If not, you need
only to come to Portland these days,
and you will hear much of it. Coos
is a county on the coast of Oregon.
1t is the only county that ever erected
a separate building at any exposition.
That is one claim to distinction, and
notable one but Goose county has
others. Leaving aside all expositional
exploitation, Coos Is entitled to a hear
ing because of some extraordinary
conditions which have been met and
overcome by her enterprising citizens
and also because of the fact that with
in her borders there Is something new
under the sun.
I'VE are out of the world" said a
Coos county man, in the new town of
North Bend, on Coos bay when there
was talk of holding a Lewis and Clerk
centennial celebration at Portland.
Here's a chance to get into the
world" said another. Lets go up to
Portland and show them. Some folks
have laughed at Coos little, because
its name sounds funny. Now is our
opportunity to prove to the world that
we are in and of it. and that Coos
county is a kingdom in herselfp
County and individual appropria-
tions, of cash and building material,
of architectural talent and industrial
skill, swelled the working capital of
Coos county for exposition purposes to
about $4,000, which exceeds the ap-
preparations of some of the large
states, and yet Coos is only a county
in Oregon, far from the beaten track.
The result of this enthusiasm is q
thoroughly handsome building at the
Portland fair, adjoining the Oregon
state building. But the Coos county
structure is much more costly than
the Oregon building. 1t is worth about
10000 as it stands, for it is built al
together of Coos county woods, in
side and out, and each separate piece
of wood was worked and polished and
yeneered until it looks more like an
enormous precious gem than a piece
OF timber.
The Coos county building is the
bright particular gem of the Lewis
and Clark exposition, so far as nicely
of workmanship goes, even when you
do not consider the remarkable loca
ton of the county with reference tc
the rest of the world-the world oil
vessels and locomotives. 1t is 12t
miles from North Bend, the metropO
lis OF Coos, to the nearest railroad
line. Coos has absolutely no rail
road connection with the outside
world. To get there from Portland
you must take an ocean-gOing vessel
sail down the Willamette and the
Columbia, and skim along the coast
entering the county through Coos bay
from the Pacific ocean, or, If you pre-
fer a land trip, you may stage 1t tC
Myrtle Point, siXty-fye miles, over
the coast range of mountains-wild
and ptctu. esque enough 10 suit any
body, and truly a route through the
tall timber, and from Myrtle Point on
to North Bend you may ride on one
of the trains that run on a dinky lit
tie coal and timber railroad

TWO STATES OR NONE
SAYS Mr.. JONES
The Foremost Man Of the
Statehood Movement in
Oklahoma.
Dimes HERE WITH B. 5. RODEl

Is the statehood sentiment gaining
ground in Arizona? c. G. Jones, of
Oklahoma, who has just finished a
weeks sojourn in the southern part
of the sister territory, says that It is.
He says that the people of Arizona
are coming around to think fairly on
the statehood question.
Mr. Jones is chairman of the Re-
publican central committee of Okla
homa, and was chairman of the joint
statehood convention which met at
Oklahoma City, July 12. This con-
vention was attended by over a tnou-
sand delegates from Oklahoma and
the Indian Territory, and there was
not a dissenting vote out of the whole
assemblage, when the matter of joint
ure came up. This convention was
attended by the reds and whites
alike. There were two Indians on
the resolutions committee and the red
men took an active part in all the do
ings of the convention.
And" said Mr.. Jones, 1--WE are with
the southwest territories now and for
all time. There was a time when we
would have pulled out and sought
statehood in our own canoe, but we
now realize that 1t is too late for such
a move. There will be no single state
hood granted, not even to Oklahoma,
with all her advantages. Congress is
going to admit just two big states, and
there will be two states or none. Mr..
Rodey will tell you that" and Mr..
Jones turned to Hon. b. S. Rodey, who
had been advised by wire of his COM
ing.
Mr.. Jones and Mr.. Rodey breakfast
ed together at the Alvarado this morn
ing and then Mr.. Jones returned to
train No. 2. and continued his journey
toward Oklahoma City.
Mr.. Rodey says that Mr.. Jones is
worth three-quarters of million dol
lars, and is devoting all of his ener
gies to the mission OF joint statehood
During the last session of congress
Mr. Jones and fifty other prominent
Oklahomans were at Washington
working for statehood, and did much
good in furthering the interests OF
the disfranchised territories.
