THE board OF county commissioners
has been 10 session this week, listen
ing to the report Of the assessor. The
board OF equalization has ordered
that all patented claims be assessed az
$50 an acre, instead OF, as heretofore
at s. per acre, the price the miner has
has to pay the government for the
land. In compliance with the 10.
structions OF the board equalization IL
is probable that the assessor will re-
commend the raising Of the assess
ment OF the patented mines 70 the
figure demanded by that board. Sew.
eral OF the mining companies have
presented protests TO the board, OBJ.
jecting TO its taking such action. Pro
badly the strongest protest was put in
by Sanford Robinson, OF Steeplerock,
agent for the S%teeplerock develop

THE senate has practically been
short a member since Senator Burton
was convicted OF crime, in appearing
as an attorney before the postoGlce de-
partment as an attorney for n OF the
get rich quick outfits. After his con-
victlon Burton did not appear in the
senate, as he had been notified that If
he did a motion for his expulsion
would be presented, but nothing was
done 10 the case, as be had taken an
appeal to the supreme court. When
the supreme court decided against
him, IL gave him a chance to ask for a
%reheariug, but that could not be ar
gued TIL fall. Part OF the sentence
was $500 lne, and by fall he would
have drawn that amount as wages as
senator. The senate did not like this,
and practically told Mr.. Burton that
if he did not resign this week be
would be expelled. He resigned Mon
day, and Governor Hoch, of Kansas
has appointed Foster D. Coburn as
senator In his place.

,,SOMt MORE RAILROAD TALK.
The Latest is a Line from PhOehus
to Yorktown.

For the past four or five years we
have frequently written of proposed !
traction lines from Hampton Roads |
to Yorktown. 10 Williamsburg and
thence TO jamestown. These rumors
would sometimes develop into facts
so far as the paper" part OF this
much tslked-of road building was
concerned.
Nearly five years ago some VII
liamsburg gentlemen got two chart
ers-one from jamestown TO VII
liamSburg. another from this city to
Hampton. OF some other point
down that way. These charters
were sold 10 o. d. Jackson. OF
Norfolk. at a profit. That was mere
ly speculation. Jackson talked rail-
road with a vim. but It al ended in
talk.
Then came some Newport News
gentlemen with a new charter 70
Yorktown. J. L. Patton headed this
company. To hold the charter a
little work was done. But now comes
the report that this charter will be
allowed TO become void. Here IS
the very latest development. and We
must admit looks more ike business.

FLUE CURING IMPROVES T0eAcc IKE
ROASTING IMPROVES GREEN COFFEE
FIue Curing Develops the Stimulating Aroma and Taste
Found In Schnapps that Satisfies tobacco Hunger

There are three ways used by far
mers for curing and preparing their
tobacco for the market; namely, sun
cured, air cured and fiue cured. The
old and cheap way is called air cured;
the later discovery and improved way
is called flue cured. In flue-curing
the tobacco is taken from the field
and suspended over intensely hot
flues in houses especially built to re-
tain the heat, and there kept in the
proper temperature until this curing
process DEVELOPS in the tobacco the
stimulating taste and fragrant aroma
found in Schnapps tobacco, just as
green coffee is made fragrant and
stimulating by the roasting process.
Only choice selections of this ripe,
Juicy hue cured leaf, grown in the
famous Piedmont country, where the
best tobacco grows, are used in
SchnapPs and other Reynolds brands
of high grade, f1ue CURED tobaccos.
Virginia gazette. [volume] (Williamsburg, Va.) 1893-192?, 1906-11-17

Hundreds Of imitation brands are
on sale that look like Schnapps: the
outside of the imitation plugs of to-
bacco is fiue cured, but the inside is
filed with cheap. fimsy, heavily
sweetened air cured tobacco; one
chew of Schnapps will satisfy tobacco
hunger longer than two chews Of
such tobacco.
Expert tests prove that this fue
cured tobacco. grown in the famoUs
Piedmont region, requires and takes
less sweetening than any other kind,
and has a wholesome, stimulating,
satisfying effect on chewers. II the
kind oftobacco yoE are chewing don't
satisfy, more than the mere habit of
expectorating. stop fooling yourself
and chew Schnapps tobacco.
Schnapps is like the tobacco chew
ers formerly bought costing from 75c.
to 81 90 per pound; Schnapps is sold
at soc. per pound in sc. cuts, strictly
10 and IS cent plugs.

PREFERS SOCIALIST
TO DR.. LINDLEY IN
OFFICE OF MAYOR

The following open letter has been
made public in response to request by
the Republican campaign managers for
support for DR.. Lindley:
II received your postal asking me to
vote for DR.. Walter Lindley You say
your candidate Is a successful business
man. 1 am somewhat suspicious of sue
cessful business men. James Hazen
Hyde, ]. Ogden Armour. McCurdy, Nc
Call ct al. were also successful bust
ness men.
II don't want to vote for that kind Of
man. / want to vote for man who
will carry out program that will for
ever prevent any person from achieving
that kind of success.
what we need more than clean
streets is a clean Industrial system, and
your candidate and your party does not
and cannot stand for that, for both are
dominated by that class Of men who
make millions out Of an unclean sys-
tenn system under which the neces-
stiles of the many are owned by the
few.
Another plank in your platform is
freedom from dust
1--WE need freedom from graft more
than we need freedom from dust. Your
party cannot free he city from graft,
because graft is inherent in the present
You stand for q system which permits
a few commercial buccaneers to DOM
mate the Industrial world. These
pirates, in struggling with each other
for the privilege of robbing those who
produce wealth, find it highly important
to control public officials; and so graft
is the natural result. And graft will
last as long as the system of special
privileges lasts.
You say you favor lucrative employ
ment for workmen. If your party really
stands for that will you not kindly ex-
plain why the Republican administra-
ton of this state recently permitted
several thousand armed strike breakers
to invade this state to prevent section
OF the workingmen from securing more
lucrative employment?
"Why did the Republican city council
refuse to pay the union scale of wages
to city employees if you favor more
lucrative employment for'workmen?
"I believe the best way, to get more
lucrative employment is to abolish this
system of private ownership Of public
property, under which the workers re-
ceive only II per cent of their product
and establish a cooperative system,
where every toiler will get all he pro-
duces. I believe that 100 per cent would
be more lucrative than II per cent.
"If one gets the full product Of his
labor this is as lucrative employment
as he has right to; and more lucrative
than he Will ever get under the system
or private capitalism.
Therefore cannot vote for the can
didate of your party or any other party
that favors this system of special
privileges. The only candidate for
mayor who stands for justice to all is
Frank A. Marek. shall therefore cast
my ballot for him.

LAKE VINEYARD COMPANY
DROPS DICKER WITH CITY

PASADENA, Nov. 17.-That the di-
rectors of the Lake Vineyard Land &
Water company have adopted res
.olutlon in which they practically de-
cline to renew negotiations with the
city council water committee for the
purchase of the plant, was admitted
this afternoon by an official of the
company. In the officials own Lam
guage the resolution is, something
in the nature Of the one adopted by
the West Side company"
The West Side directors, while re-
fusing to make their resolution pub
lie, practically admit that they have
decided not to renew negotiations with
the city at all To have the two big
gest companies stand out will mean
that by resembling the former proceed
ings, which many maintain was a
very unnecessary step. Mayor Water
house and his followers in the city
council have practically killed the
chances of Pasadena to secure a mu-
nicipal water plant for anything like
the price agreed upon about two years
ago

FOREST FIRE UNDER CONTROL

(. SANTA MONICA, Nov. 17.-At mid
night the forest fire that ragged in the
Stone canyon all day was reduced to
smoldering embers, and it is believed
that no more damage will result unless
high winds again set in. The fire
burned until it struck another district
that had previously been burned over
and was forced to die out through lack
of material to feed the flames.
1t is impossible tonight to estimate
the amount of damage that has been
done. Nothing but a thick pail OF
smoke can be seen, and behind this
black devastation. 1t is known that the
watershed of Santa Monica has re-
ceived serious damage from the fire and
that a reforestration will be necessary
for a vast area.
Several small ranch houses have been
destroyed and the feeding range is re-
duced to a char.
All day long hundreds of men fought
the flames. The frantic call of the
Santa Monica Land and Water COM
pany, which viii probably be a heavy
lcser caused fire fighters from West
gate and Sawtelle to hurry to the scene.
Men from Sherman, Hollywood, Santa
Monica, ocean Park and Los Angeles
passed the entire day in beating back
the flames, but were almost powerless
on account of the velocity of the wind.
The fire was driven rapidly up the
canyon, and not until late tonight when
the wind veered were the fire fighters
able to make any headway.
Good tuna running at Coronado.
