SCORED AND PRAISED
Different Views Expressed at Mass

Pastors and Turn VereiH.

PATERSON, Feb. 26.-Two public
meetings at which proposed excise
legislation a discussed were held

the liberties of the people.
The meeting in favor of the Miller

the Rev. c. E. Wilding, pastor of the
Market Street Methodist church, Pat
erson; Dr.. E. V. Nash, president of
the Anti-Saloon League, of Newark,
and w. H. Beech. of Jersey City.
DR.. Wilding declared that if the
local option bill is defeated the ad-
vocates of law and order would at
least know who were responsible for
it's defeat, and every man who voted
against the bill would be held ac-
%countable." Petitions were circulat-
ed among the people for signatures.
These petitions call upon the senator
and assemblymen from Passaic Il
ty II urge and vote for the passage Of
the Miller bill.
At a mass meeting in Turn Hall,
under the auspices of the German
American Central Turn Verein, Col
onel Ernest c. Stahl, of Trenton. and
Leonard L.. HUFFMAN, of Paterson,
were the principal speakers. They
declared that the laws o on the
statute books, if enforced, We're all
that the most radical a~nti-saloon man
should expect. Resolutions were pass
ed calling upon the Passaic senator
and assemblymen to oppose both bills.

HI BILL is
NONPARTISAN
Remarkable Situation in Con-
gress Over Hepburn BilI-TiII-
man Makes Comment.

WASHINGTON, ruN ga most re-
markable and unprecedented situation
has been brought about tn congress by
the selection of Senator Tillman to
make the report of the senate inter
state commerce comnAittee for the Hep
burn rate bill WITHOUT amendment.
1t has given the fwhole rate question
a political importance that it has not
hitherto possessed Democrats are
jubilant because thay believe they are
TO get the credit befdre the country for
rate legislation, whitb they predict the
Republican party will be split open by
the bitter |dissensions in the senate.
Commenting on the bill, Senator Till
man said in part:
The presidents views are well I'M
derstood. He has expressed himself
very fully in his message and in inter-
views. The newspapers have not
spared any opportunity to announce
what they suppose have been his views
on this subject. Therefore there is no
further need for anybody to get his
views, and he has been very free to
communicate his views to congress
whenever he has seen fit to do So
DO you take the view that this rail-
road Legislation is Il Democratic meas
IRE now that it has been reported by a
majority of Democrats on the commit
tee and by Il Democratic senator?'
1T is Il ~nonpartisan measure re-
piled Senator Tillman. 1T is neither
Republican nor Democratic, but it al
no longer be called a Republican meas
s1lre3
FroIS che time that Senator Tillman
presented his report on the bill to the
senate today until the measure shall
have been finally disposed of by the
senate the bill will actually, if not
technically. occupy the foremost place
on the senate calendar. From the be-
ginning of the session the rate regula-
ton question has received eager atten-
ton whenever the subject has been APP
preached, even though in an informal
way, as has been the case on several
occasions, and the formal reporting of
the measure will necessarily intensity
h interest in it.
All senators, whatever their individ-
ual view, unite in considering the rail
road question as the most important
before congress, and friends and oppo-
nents of the Hepburn-D olliver bill alike
unite in the desire to have it disposed
of as promptly as possible.

THE GOLDEN GATE PROPERTY.

Scale this Season Experienced
Man In Charge.

H. B. Frank, who recently took
hold of the property of the Golden
Gate Mining company in the scoop

over Sunday. He has a force of
seven men at work getting every
thing in shape to push active devel

blacksmith shop and boarding house
will be completed this week, and the
force will soon be increased to 25
or 80 men. Mr.. Frank stated that
within sixty days from the time
actual development is begun he will
be prepared to ship ore.
81 am not footing my horn very
much just now," said Mr.. Frank,
s'for it takes something more than
talk to develop mining claims. But
l have got faith in this property,
and have purchased 65, 900 shares OF
the company's taeasury stock, and
will invest more if necessary tc
develop the mine,"
Mr.. Frank is a mining man o.

determined manner in which he hal
taken hold of the work on tn,

he expects to get returns from tn,

Enormous Copper Consumption.

Experts estimate that the produc-
ton of copper in this country last
year was approximately 943, 900, 0eO
pounds, or 1873, 900, 900 pounds more
than in 1904; and it is predicted
that this year will show an even
larger increase, says Washington
correspondent. Yet at such pace
is the consumption of the metal
growing that the output of ore does
not meet our national needs and we
are importing larger and larger
quantities from across the Atlantic.
First and foremost this is an elec-
trlcal age and utilization of electric
ity Is largely dependent upon copper.
Transmission of electrical energy
for use in lighting streets and dwell
ings, operating power plants and
railways, and making possible com
munication by telegraph and tele
phone, Is prime factor in twentieth
century living. Power transmits
sion. for lighting and manufacturing
purposes, though its future possibil-
tiles are enormous, is largely unde
veloped; SO, to some extent is the
electric railway; so, most of all,
perhaps. is the telephone, though
already the Bell system alone has
nearly two and a half million tele-
phones in use. All of these utilities
use vast amounts of copper not only
in the form of wire but in the
powerful and mysterious machinery
by which they are operated.
Aside from the electrical indus.
tries nearly every form of present
day activity employs copper, and
the compositions of which it is q
part, to considerable extent. En-.

latter as sort of apprentice, and
between them there exists warm
friendship. Mr.. Clark is over 20
years of age, but is hale and hearty

teller.
Away back in 81 Mr.. Clark was
given the job of finding a route and
setting the stakes for the Oregon

fact that while the Union Pacific has
spent vast sums Of money changing
its route and Strengthening out the
kinks the Short Line has found no
imperfections or changes necessary
in its right of way.
In '82 Mr.. Clark was ordered to
explore the Snake River canyon
He came TO Emmett and bought
lumber Of Jim " ardwell's sawmill
for boats in which to make the trip.
1t was hazardous journey, espec-
tally an it was made in January.
The boats were capsized, three of
the six men in the party were
drowned, and all their provisions
were lost except the -four.
"B.scuits' for breakfast, dinner
and supper, mixed with Snake River
water, were not the best eating in
the world" said Mr.. Clark, 'sbut
no one complained OF the grub or
seemed to lack an appetite"
To add further to their discom.
forts, their bedding was destroyed
by fire. The capsized boats were
later picked up at Portland, and
San Francisco papers contained
graphic descriptions of how "Old
Man" Clark and his party had
perished. They did not turn up fol
six months.
Mr.. CLARK says at that time ht
thought the promoters of this rail
road were the biggest fools OIL
record to spend their money to buile
a road through the Idaho desert

tire fiat that Weiser is built on fol
