From the Knights of Honor Reporter
1t was of no vital Importance to the
public nor to the polcyholders of the
Equitable Life Assurance Society wheth-
er President Alexander succeeded in
ou>tiraSs Vice President HYDE nor is it
of any particular consequence to the
policy-hoders or the public what the ul-
innate outcome of the struggle between
these two officials will be. And neither
is it likely to make much difference in
the relations of the policy holders to the
company in case of the consummation
of the proposed mutualizing Of the cor
poration, for whether it remains. as at
present. a stock company, or is changed
into a mutual concern. there is no reason
to suppose that it will not continue to
be controlled by small coterie of capi-
talistS. Theoretlcally the holders of
policies will have the right to take part
in all legislative proceedings. but i'll
reality they will probably have little
more power than they now possess,
which is none at ALL The directors will
be able to hold so many proxies that it
will be impossible to obtain such popu-
lar representation at it's meetings as
will be of any real help to the policy
holders.
The thing in this whole affair which
should interest and warn the public is
the sovereign power which in this and
also in any of the other great life in
s,,rance companies is welded BY a few
men to whom the policy holders are
under complete subjection, and their in
vestments. and therefore their validity
by a sudden turn of the stock market
The cry that has been raised against
Mr.. Hyde that man who will throw
away hundred thousand dollars upon
a single nights entertainment is likely
to bring suspicion upon the solvency Of
the concern in which he is the first vice.
president, and was raised merely as a
means to get Mr. Hyde out of the office
which Mr.. Alexander wants for some
body whom he can control; but it
throws no light upon the kind of men in
whom policy-holl lers are obliged to put
their trust 1t shows also that the men
at the head of one of these big life
companies must be in receipt of opulent
incomes which ought to be divided with
the policy-holders. for it is the latter's
money which earns this income. In a
word, it now should be manifest to the
blinded policy y-holders that they are
but the tools of the men in control of
their company, and that it is to these
men in control of the lions share of the
earnings. share SO large as to make
the little that is begruigingly dealt out
to them as dividends ridiculous by COM
parison.

carrying frosts far southwark. Then
will come a sharp rise in temperature.
About April 2S and 20 weather features
will begin to show marked increase in
intensity: by 30 ani May I the weather
bureau will hang out storm signals
from the great lakes to the Mexican
seas. Just here will come period of
great danger in the vicinity of where
the storm wave is at that time. | can

when and where these great storms will

20 to May j. place the date on May
;. but it may come little earlier and it
might go over to May S. Within the
next twelve months | will be better fixed
to deal with the exact date and places of
dangerous storms.
By reference to the first paragraph
above. the reader will note where | ex-
pect the disturbance to be each day, and
by watching the weather bureau maps
the location of the "low' on the map
will keep you informed. The dangerous
storms usually occur 100 to 800 miles
southeast of the low.
Although my forecasts of dangerous
storms first part Of April proved good
| have no doubt the great earthquake in
India lessened the force of the storms
on this continent Earthquakes in coun-
tries where they sometimes occur are
probable between now and May S and if
none should occur before May 3, | will
expect the storms on this continent to
be the more severe The severe storms
on this continent the first week in April
occurred about the same time as the
great earthquake in India Many earth
quakes are caused by electrical disturb
ances similar to that which causes light
ming and thunder.
About and Immediately following
April 20 high temperature wave is ex-
pected on Meridian 90. little earlier
west and little later east of that line,
and weather features are expected to be
very radical. During the balance of the
month rainfall will be uneven1y distri-
buted, very heavy in places, many thun-
der storms. good supply of hail and
more ethan one tornado. You will prob
ably need something better than an um-
brella.

Want Carson Goods.

One firm in Carson has gained a
reputation that is spreading and is
also dong good. This the firm OF
Davey and Maish, confectioners. Dur
ing the past two months they have
been kept busy manufacturing fancy
CONNECTIONS for Lake Tahoe. The
Tallac House alone has a standing or
der for fifty boxes of choice bon
bons, prices ranging from % cents TO
dollar boxes. This has been the o.
der for the past two months Other
places at the lake are coming in line
and a great deal of this trade has
been maintained all summer.
1t looks good to the Carsonite to
see the fastidious guests at the big
resorts asking for Davey and Maish
candy instead Of Maskey or some of
the city firms The goods are care
fully made and that they are equal
to the best is certified to by the fact
that the orders are all that the firm
can handle.

PEACE Is IN SIGHT.
Japan Makes Concession That Russia
Will Accept.


WASHINGTON, ADJUST 29.-Every-,
thing but the formal announcement OF
peace has been arranged by the Com
missioners. assembled for the purpose
of bringing about conditions between
Russia and Japan.
President Roosevelt and his plans
have carried the day and it is the
greatest American victory won in a
diplomatic way in many years.
At the meeting of the ENJOYS today
the plans of the American President
were gone over carefully and it IS
announced that Japen has conceded
the terms asked by Russia and that
an armistice will be negotiated pen!-
| ing the drawing OF the peace condi-
tons and the treaties that will have
to follow.
Japan has acted most generous IN
! the matter, and had she not done SO
the war would have been prolonged
1t was with the Japanese Commits
sioners that President Roosevelt di-
rected his time and attention and in
giving away as thu Japanese have, It
/ is believed that the American govern
ment and the Orient VIII become
closer allied.
The terms as far as stated seem
hard for Japan to concede. They con-
sits of the returning OF the captured
warships, waving the claims for in
demnity or reimbursement for the
cost of the war and to cede back the
northern half Of Saghalin Island and
leaving the price of redemption of the
sale to arbitration of mixed CON-
mission Japan is to retain the pro-
tectorate of Korea and Port Arthur
will remain neutral port, eventually
to be ceeded to China as was agreed
at the time of the Japanese-China war.
There is a great deal of speculation
as to what the nature OF the new
treaty between the warning nations
will be, as the lately signed treaty
with Great Britain may have consider
able to do with the new arrangements
Germany and her ambassador are
among the anxious ones.
The exact terms of the new treaty
are not known here but the diplomats
are aware that some of the clauses OF
the original treaty have been greatly
modified and that others have been
extended.
JJpon the announcement today
cablegrams began to pour in from all
sources and President Roosevelt has
received more than the other rep
resentatiyes. 1t is a great compii-
ment to America and her executive.

A BIG CAVE.
State Well Again Does the Unexpected
Thing Yesterday.

The State well seems to be a hard
problem all the way round. Yester-
day the contractors started lowering
the new casing down when a piece Of
ground about the size of an ordinary
house sank out of sight. In fact there
is cave that will require several
days OF hard hauling to hold back and
probably couple of hundred loads of
sand and material to make it level
ground again. Six loads of prison rock
were thrown into the cavern yeste--
day and hardly made a showing. Ad-
ditional teams will be put on today
in the hopes of stopping the cave
from reaching the entire width of the
derrick, and when this is done drilling
will be resumed.
The cave went to the water level
and shows great reservoirs of water
fifteen feet below the surface in this
valley.
+, Contractor Gray accounts for the
cave from the sand that has been talk
en- out. In going through the quick
sand a great deal of earth has been
removed and left caverns between
the strata of sand and the hard pan.
When the hard pan settled the whole
affair caved and only the grass roots
have held the ground for some time.
and when they gave way the entire
section OF ground moved with it as
is shown by the cave.
Mr.. Gray has now come to the con-
clusion that this is about what hap
pened to the first hole sunk. A big
caved occurred down the line of pipa
and moved the casing with it. In
moving, the pipe was kinked and this
stuck the tools and also prevented the
drawing of any more pipe to the sur.
face. When it is remembered that
several days were taken up in NOV
ing the debris from the first hole
and like amount has again accumd
lated, it is easy to see where the
sunken earth has gone.

STREET MENplNc.
Carson City Has Plenty Of Opportunity
To do the Work.

For week or more one man and
team mas been employed repairing
the main street of this city and during
that time he has performed consider
able good work, which makes a very
creditable showing. What has been
done is only q starter toward what
should be finished. The tE>ter
months are coming on and storms will
soon lay the dust and pack the streets.
Before that time a great deal Of roal
work should be performed in and
about this city.
The work of the one man with
a team only shows what the Appeal
advocated some time ago; that Car
son City should own team and a
won and do her own work, not one
week in the year, but every working
day Of the year.
A good man and a team could at
least fill one block of street with soil
in a week, and during the year such
work would make several miles Of
very presentable streets and improve
every piece of property that it passes.
Where stone is needed for a founda-
ton, this team should be used for
that purpose; all the city hauling
should be done and a man and team
would be handy for hundred diff
ferent things that are needed every
month and every day.
The soil that is being used as filling
on the main street makes an excel
lent road bed. The soii from the
bank back of Gardeners makes a road
equal to pavement, as can be fouu
by a trip over that particular piece
of road.
AT the meeting of me City Trustees
they had better take up the matter
or see what man and a team cal
be hired for by the month and give
the matter a thorough test.
