The Brandon news. (Brandon, Miss.) 1892-1961, 1906-04-19

AOUf. 1899 IA,1OO,UUU lO,OO| ,UUU
The 1905 estimate will be about as
much too low as those of former
years. If these figures are correct,
and we have no cause to dispute them,
it would seem that the government
estimator has been for long time on
the side Of the "bull" or producer.
Hence there mas been no foundation
for the complaint that incorrect esti-
mates have f.een made.
A South Mississippi paper strikes
the key note in the following:
"What Mississippi wants is honest
men, and any man who will over
charge because it is the state, and will
overlook the sufferings of those who
are in his charge because they are
mere convicts, is not an honest man.
He is paid by the state to relieve them
of their sufferings, and if the suf-
ferers were the meanest and lowest
criminals in the walls of the prison
he would be entitled to as much atten-
ton as the most prominent official
in charge over him. Politics or no
politics, let justice be done, regard
less Of the results. Many a guilty
heart lies behind a smiling face and
starched shirt, that should be punish
ed the same as The man with the gable
end Of his pants worn out. Go on
with the good wcrk.'
The proud distinction that our state
mas borne of being one OF the few
that were absolutely free from graft
must be maintained at any cost. We
need honest men to have the care of
our institutions, and they must be
secured at any acrifce. The salaries
paid are generally not sufficient to
induce the best of men to apply for
these places, but there should be
some patriotism displayed by our
good people along that line.
The high water just passing and
without damage to the lands adjacent
to the rivers demonstrates the effect
iveness of our magnificent levee sys-
tenn. While the levees have proven
exceedingly expensive to build, the
maintenance will be matter Of small
moment, and they are proving that it
was an excellent investment all the
way through. Thousands upon thous-
ands of acres Of the richest lands in
the world have been reclaimed from
the disastrous overfows and brought
into use. The Yazoo-Mississippi delta
alone is sufficient to sustain the whole
population of the states of Mississip-
pi, Alabama, Louisiana, Tennessee and
Arkansas. The value of this terri
tory can be grasped by this compar-
ison. The expenditure of a like
amount for good roads would prove
equally as good an investment. Ten
million of dollars used in the con-
struction Of roads throughout the state
and q small amount each year for the
maintenance would prove as good an
investment for the whole state as the
levees have for the delta.
McCornb City IS building home for
its fire department that will be cred
it to that erterprising city in the
piney woods.
Announcement is again made that
the railroad mp the Pearl river valley
will be built. The timber holdings Of
Foley & Larson have been sold to a
capitalist from Minnesota and the /.
& G. is supposed to be behind the
project to build the road. About
5000, 1000 was paid for the timber land
and the prospect for the building Of
the road looks excellent. It would
open up rich section Of country,
botn for farming and timber.

WOULD HAVE LIGHTING
SECTION DISTRICTED
ELECTRIC COMPANIES PREPARE
TO BID
Say Partial Contracts Will Cost Less
Than One Made for Entire Part
of City to Be ornamented With
ElectroIiers

The Los Angeles Gas & Electric COM
pany and the Pacific Light & Power
company yesterday asked the board of
public works to divide the section on
Hill and Main streets that is to be
lighted by the ornamental electroliers
into districts, so that they can make
their bids for lighting these streets
much cheaper than could otherwise be
done If the contract is let as a whole.
Each of these electric companies had
conduits on Main and Hill streets, but
they are in different blocks on the
street. By bidding for the districts in
which they have conduts and elimin-
ating the districts where they have
none they will be able to name a lower
price than would be the case if they
were compelled to build their conduits
into each others territory.
While this method will practically
eliminate any competition between
these two companies the board of pub
lie works realizes that if the successful
bidder is compelled to build conduits
the price will be higher On the other
hand, the board does not like the idea
of there being no competition and will
probably advertise both ways.

MAY DIE AS RESULT
OF VICIOUS ASSAULT
TELEPHONE EMPLoYE SUFFERS
FRACTURED SKULL
Alteration, With Fourteen-Pound
sIedse as Persuader, Follows Rep
rlmand of Foreman for Unsatisfac-
tory Work

John Curcia, an Austrian, is in the
city Jail charged with assault with "a
deadly weapon, and Peter Marchiando,
an employe of the Sunset Telephone
company, is in the receiving hospital
in dying condition.
Marchiando was brought in from
Leroy and North Main streets, where
he had an alteration with the Aus
trian, in a critical condition, and 1t
was found at the receiving hospital
that he was suffering from fracture
of the. skull.
In speaking of the assault last even
ing Marchiando said: This fellow
Curoia has been doing poor work on
the conduit for the last few days, and
l was forced to speak to him several
times. This afternoon his work was
most unsatisfactory, and so l told him
that he must either quit or do better
work than he had been doing.
II thought nothing more about the
affair until / was struck from behind
with fourt een-pound sedge. L was
knocked senseless the first blow.
At the hospital Marchiando showed
remarkable grit, not even crying out
when the pain was most severe. When
told that he must be kept In the hos
pital the man raised up on the couch
and looked at the officers pleadingiy
and said: II am not badly hurt;
want to go home"

SELL RIVER BED
TO HIGH BIDDER
COUNCIL PLANS REC0UPING
CITYS FINANCES
Huntington and Gould Interests Are
on the Alert and a Big Sum
May Be Realized for
Franchise

The malodorous river bed franchise Is
not yet dead and will probably be re-
vlved at the meeting Of the city coun-
Gil Monday.
While none Of the councilmen Will
talk about the question they tacitly
admit that the river bed franchise Will
be put up for sale at next Mondays
meeting of the council.
r. w. Gilmore, to whom the council
tried to give the river bed franchise
about two months ago, has been seen
about the city hall and has button
hoed several members Of the council,
who have shaken their heads at hrst
but as Gilmore warmed up to the topic
have assumed broad grins.
The city needs money.
The end of this month Will show
whether or not the city VIII be able TO
make both ends meet.
1t also needs Improvements badly and
tried TO get them by issuing bonds. All
bonds but the sewer proposition were
defeated by an overwhelming majority
Funds Spent Ahead
While the tax money gives the coun-
ell more than half million dollars over
the amount it had to expend last year
much of this has already been ex-
pended in such things IS voting ma
chimes that must be paid for after the
beginning OF the fiscal year.
The council realizes that II the people
viii not vote bonds 1t must look else
where for money and has turned Its
eyes to the river bed.
While Herbert j. Goudge when he
was assistant city attorney plainly told
the council 1t had no legal right TO give
away the city's property as 1t at
tempted to do he said nothing about
the city's right TO sell the same prop
erty. and the council is of the opinion
that II can be done legally.

Strangers Suspicious Actions Result
in Drastic Action by Alert
Policemen

Henry Williams, negro, was ar
rested by Officers Craig and Ziegler at
Fourth and Main streets yesterday,
charged with carrying a concealed
weapon.
Williams was seen by the officers
walking up Fourth street carrying

"HANDS OFF"
In GUATEMALA
SPEAKER MEJlA ANNOUNCES
sALVADoR's POLICY
Panama Canals Opening viii Give
Europeans Chance to GobbIe
Trade, but United States Is
the Favored Nation

salvador Is looking forward to the
time when the United States will gct
all the foreign trade that Salvador
must have with any outside country
All efforts to effect such relations are
being made by every public spirited
citizen of Salvador.
"The spirit of enterprise that rules
the United states and the quality OF
goods thnt are received by Salvador
from the states have made a strong and
lasting impression upon the little re-
public."-FcdericO Meiia, speaker in
Salvador Congress.
Federico Mejia, speaker in the house
of congress of Salvador, at present d
guest of the Hotel Alexandra says
that never before in the history of the
little republic of Salvador has this
desire to effect permanent trade rea-
tions with the United States been more
marked.
"The coming opening of the Panama
canal will give the European nations
an opportunity that Salvador is not
specially desirous of seeing material
ize," said Mr. Mejia.
THE United States has so far given
us fair deal in all business rela-
tions and we are perfectly satisfied
with the quality of goods that we get
from the United States" continued Mr..
Mejia.
Want Regular Steamers
"At the present time only one steam
ship company, the Pacific Mail, stops
at our ports. Sometimes they fail to
stop when we have a shipment for the
United States, and sometimes they
stop. What the people of Salvador de-
sire is a scheduled sailing time card
that can always be depended upon.
with these conditions existing the
Salvadorans are continually laboring
under an uncertainty which they are
anxious to do away with. We are doing
all in our power to effect the desired
not because the benefits will be for
us alone but because we know that it
will benefit the United States as WELL"
When asked if Salvador was going
to take any sides in the recent revolt
ton in Guatemala Mr.. Mejia emphat-
ically answered No"
Ignores Guatemala
"Salvador's view of the troubles in
Guatemala is that 1t is none of her
business.
President P. ]. Escalon of Salvador
has sent a telegram to President Roose-
welt assuring the chief executive of
the United States that Salvador will
attend strictly to her own business and
that the revolution in Guatemala is
considered entirely foreign to any of
Salvador's interests.
THE idea that I am in the United
States for the purpose of arranging
any matters in connection with Sal
vador, Guatemala or the United States,
is wholly erroneous.
"The earthquake in San Francisco
brought me here as 1 had two daugh-
ters attending school in Menlo Park.
1 was anxious to see them and help
them in any way that 1 could"

BICYCLE THEIR DOWNFALL
Two Youths Are Sent to the De-
tention Home to
Repent

Ten-year-old Henry Schulz stood be-
fore the desk sergeant at the city Jail
last evening and cried pitifully, as he
looked up at his playmate. Jim Bridges
when the patrolman asked the lad why
he stole a wheel in front of the Grand
opera house Thursday evening.
81 took the wheel, but Jim told me to
take IL and that he would come in the
morning to get it," said the little fell
low.
Bridges, who is a rough looking lad
Of fifteen, leered warningly toward the
smaller boy.
II have the proof that 1 did not tell
you to take the wheel; don't try to
back out of the theft" he said, and as
the sergeant led the boys away, the
little fellow was crying bitterly.
The Officers say that complaint has
often been made concerning them.
They were taken to the detention home.

Huntington or Gould?

H. E. Huntington is recognized as the
force behind E. w. Gilmore and that he
would like to have the river bed
franchise is fact that he has ad-
mitted in writing to both the mayor
and city council.
George j. Gould is another one who
would probably be interested in a
franchise in the river bed. He is build
ing q transcontinental line which he ex-
poets to bring to Los Angeles, and in
message to Mayor McAleer during the
river bed franchise trouble he expressed
hope that Los Angeles would leave
open a way for him to come into the
city.
With the river bed in the possession
of alien hands it might be extremely
difficult for Gould to find a way to get
into the city.
Whoever holds the river bed will
practically have the key to the city's
gates. in the opinion of persons who
understand the situation.
The committee of the whole Of the,
council has a proposition for the city
engineer to make an estimate of the
cost of the city building a railroad in
the river bed and leasing it for term
OF years.
This committee also has some appli-
cations for spur tracks to consider.
AS soon as the holidays are over and
the committee of the whole can report
back to the council it will probably
recommend that the franchise be sold.

LICENSE YEAR EXPIRES
Deputy Collector eesleged by Owners
Of Pets Worried About
Don Catohers

Deputy license collectors i'm City Tax
Collector Johnson's office were glad to
shut up shop yesterday evening, for
during the day they had stood con-
stantly at their little windows issu-
ing licenses for dogs.
At the close of business $50 licenses
had been issued and $50 dogs can now
howl with impunity at the dog catcher,
for they have their little tags On their
collars.
All dog licenses expired yesterday as
IL was the end of the license year.
Early in the morning men and women.
who feared their fuzzy little poodles
would go to the sausage mill without
the little tag, were standing in line be-
fore the license windows and all day
long the line reached from these win
dows to the door of the city hall.
The deputies are anxious the dog
owners know the dog catcher will not
begin to make his rounds until June IS
and there is no danger of the dogs be-
Ing taken up before that time.
