SMOOT CASE RE.OpENED.
Senator From Utah Is subject of speech
BY One of His Associates.

WASHINGTON. Dec. Ill Senator
Burrows, chairman of the senate com.
mittee on privileges and elections.
opened the Smoot debate this after.
noon. In a speech of 10000 words.
which had been carefully prepared, he
marshaled the arguments against the
seating Of Smoot. Early in the argu.
ment he said there was no evidence
that Smoot had been guilty OF poIyg.
amy.
He referred to the position held BY
President Smith, the leader of the
Mormon hierarchy, the husband OF Ave
wives and the father of 10 children,
and quoted Smiths testimony in the
investigation, where he said that con
gress can have nothing to do with pri.
vate life.
Senator Burrows said that Smoot is
disqualified to serve in the senate be.
cause he is a member of the Mormon
hierarchy. and this membership inter
feres with the functions of state be.
cause the hierarchy of which he is a
part encourages polygamy.
He gives the further reason agains,
Smoot that, as a member of the bier.
archy, the latter has taken an oath
hostile to the government of the
United States and incompatible with
his oblig ation as a senator.
The speaker reviewed the DONNA.
ton of the church over politics in
Utah, and to prove this assertion he
said there is no case in Utah showing
the defeat of a man at the polls who
was favored by the church, and nc
case of the election of a man who was
opposed by the church.

StOSkmcn Make Complaint.

WASHINGTON, Dec. Il. a new
complaint that the Chicago, Burling.
ton and Quincy, the Illinois Central,
the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul,
and numerous other carriers engaged
in transporting live stock to Chicago
from Texas and other points in the
southwest and from states in the
northwest are exacting ''unjust and
unreasonable rates" is filed with the
interstate commerce commission to-
day by the Chicago live stock ex.
change and the Cattle Raisers' as.
ISOLATION Of Texas. 1t Is alleged that
the rates complained of have been in
force since June l, 1894. The COM
plant recites that on the date named
the railroads imposed upon the ship
pers Of live stock to the Chicago mar.
ket at the Union stock yards a charge
Of - per car load. in addition to the
through rates, which additional
charge sis commonly known as the
terminal charge" The contention is
made that no similar charge is i'm
posed at stock markets outside OF
Chicago. This case will be giver
consideration by the commission al
public hearings that are about to bt
held.

lion six hundred and seventy-seven
thousand dollars. Another way to
figure this is that it means in 1905
Montana's mineral wealth yielded a
sum nearly sufficient to pay every
man, woman and child in the cOm.
monwealth two hundred dollars each.
In all respects the mining industry
Of Montana is in a ilOurishing cOndi
ton, according to the report OF Mr..
Tatem. The price Of copper is much
higher than it was last year, while
the tonnage promises to be greater
than for 1905. No where in the world
are the conditions under which mining
is carried on nor stable than in this
state, and there is nothing to indicate
a possible break in those conditions.
Mr.. Tatem reviews the operations in
the state in respect to output. 1t is
noteworthy that the gold and silver
production of the state for 1905 fell
short Of that for 1904, but the increase
in the production of copper was so
great as to make the total increase ex-
coed $40, 900, 900.
The gold output Of 1905 vas $685.
551 less than that of 1904. The silver
output was S1,491,3l5 less coinage
value than for 1904. The copper out
put was Sl1, 754,967 greater and the
lead output $3l, 635 greater.
Mr.. Tatem's concluding table shows
that since 1862 Montana or the terri.
tory now included within its bounds
has produced in copper, silver, gold
and lead 81, 230, 2SS, 100, divided as fol-
lows: Copper, S49S, 493, OBS: silver,
S42l, 799, 400: gold, 1896, III $50: lead,
$l3, 1873 ,23j. There are no yearly re.
ports covering the period from 1862
to 1882 and during that time there is
no record available or estimate made
for either copper or lead production.
So far as the record shows there has
been only two years since 1882 when a
decrease in the total output from that
of the year before was shown. Those
were the years 1900 and 1901, the first
showing q decrease of ! per cent. from
that of 1899, and the latter a decrease
Of 5 per cent. from that OF 1900.

Blamcs McxicanS For Floods.

WASHINGTON, Dec. II. = Senator
Flint today called at the state depart.
mcnt to make representations con.
corning the Salton sea, and to request
the department to make a demand
upon the Mexican government imme'
diately to repair the damage that has
been done at the outlet Of the Imperial
canal.
While watering lands in California,
that canal is taken out of the river on
the Mexican side, and the senate.
takes the position that a break in the
levee Is due to the failure OF the gov
ernment to exercise proper supervision
over the construction of the canal.

Food Scarce In Alaska Camps.

TACOMA, Dec. IL. - Supplies are
very short in at least three Alaska
camps. The Mayo and Duncan creek
districts, on the Stewart river, are
short of butter, cream, milk, candles
aud kerosene. A special from Daw.
SOW says that according to news
brought from Tom Hinton. mining re.
corder on the Duncan district, Jim
Phillips, who owns the largest trad
ing post on Duncan, IL en- route to
Dawson to obtain the supplies which
are necessary if mining operations on
the Stewart river are to be continued
during the winter. He has determined
to get a stock of food into camp at all
costs. Freighting from Dawson to
Mayo costs 10 to l. cents a pound,
and from Mayo to Duncan three cent:
additional. Supplies are short be-
cause the last trailers leaving Daw'
son for the Stewart river last fall were
caught by the water.
Alexander Patterson, who was a
Dawson from lower Yukon points
says supplies are short in Chandler
and other new districts near Tanani
and koyukuk. The food on hand q
Circle and Fort Yukon will hardly
maintain the miners who went into
these districts last summer. Wore
has been SEN out that all newcomer.
into these camps must take their owr
food supply with them.

The Most Precious Gem.

An official of the national museum
at Washington gives some facts not
generally known concerning the rela.
tive values of diamonds and rubies.
According to the latest figures OBJ
tainable, a ruby weighing as much as
five carats is worth ter to twelve times
as much as q diamond of the same
weight, even though the latter be OF
the first water. The ruby, there
fore, instead of the diamond, is the
material that embodies the highest
money in the smallest compass.

Mr.. Jones stated that Solicitor Jer-
vey had the right to mol pros the
cases, but it was matter of surprise
that he did so. This territory was in
Solicitor Davis circuit until the TO-
circuit act was passed and Colleton,
Dorchester and Charleston were plac-
ed together,
1t is little singular that the pen
sion frauds tried in the Federal
courts Of this state have been con-
fined largely to that section where
there have been so many negro "vet-

These ignorant negroes have been
swindled time and again and the peo-
pie guilty Of sharp practice have been
caught sometimes and cases tried in
the United States court right here in
Columbia have resulted in white men
being sent to the United States pris-
on. This sharp practice was indulged
in by conniving lawyers and men
holding commissions as notaries pub

Now Making Five Dollars Where
They Formerly Made One.

Thousands of young men are now
making salaries five times as large
as formerly, as the result of securing
a thorough business education at that
widely renowned institution located at
Macon, Ga, the Ga..Ala Bus. College,
while hundreds Of others who were
trained there are now at the head of
large and successful business enter
prises of their own.
The great reputation for expert
work which the graduates of that Col
legc enjoy has caused business men
everywhere to call upon it for office
help far beyond it's ability to supply.
The College has therefore very gen.
erously resolved to give to every boy
and girl in the land, no matter how
limited their means or education, an
opportunity to secure practical
business education and get the bene-
fit of these good places. Every am
bilious young person is urged to write
this very day for the special offer
and written guaranty of position,
Addressing,
Z. L. Martin, Pres,
Macon, Ga.
