without recognizing today's delibera- tions. Furthermore, MT. Clark pre- scented for publication the following signed article as a statement of his side of the controversy:
 To the Editor The Republican, Sir:
 The articles appearing in your col umns of this date relative to the For tuna Gold and Copper company and it's properties, contains some erroneous statements as applied to me.
 It is true that a serious controversy has arisen, but the real cause was not stated. Dr. Simpson has, according to his own assertions, sold shares of the corporation amounting to $37,5O0 only about $10,000 of this sum has been expended in the development and pur- chase of the properties. I have repeat edly asked for statement showing what disposition, if any, had been made of the remaining $27,OO0. He seeks to sidetrack me in the management and thus avoid an accounting.
 With regard to certificate No. 57, the facts are these. Early in January of this year MT. Wm. Buckingham, Arizo- ma representative of the Fairbanks Morse company called on me and re- quested me to go with him to see a

certain property a few miles north of our camp. I went with him, we stop ped for dinner at our camp, he was seemingly much impressed with the favorable showing of our ores as to extent and values Next day he called on me and asked if We would consider a proposition to sell so small an amount of stock as 5000 worth. l re- piled, "Yes gladly" He then asked what condition our company was in, how many shares sold, how much funds in the treasury, what prospect for resuming work, etc. My reply was that I would write Dr. Simpson. would probably have the information on his next visit to Phoenix. 1 did write at some length explaining the situation to Dr. Simpson. but the information was not furnished. pr. Simpson did. how ever, send certificate No. 57 without my request. signed in blank. stating that I might fill it out for 200O shares in MT. Buckingham's name, stating cOndescendingly that I might keep the 5000 here to aid in development work which had ceased for want of funds in October 1905. MT. Buckingham declin- ed to put in the money in the absence of any. statement as any good business man would. Subsequently, in order to protect the interests of all concerned, filled out this certificate in the name of a prominent citizen of Phoenix as trustee for 250,OOO shares of the com pany, being the entire promotion stock in which as per agreement, several are interested and in whom l am in honor bound to protect.
 I have d letter from Simpson dated February Sth, last. in which, referring to the division of promoters shares, he says: 'I have issued Cobb 2600 shares. He has had now all and more than he is entitled to-" I have been informed he is willing to allow me 25.00O shares, retaining for himself over 100000 shares. A nice settlement, eh ?
 The statement that I have not put one dollar into the property is untrue. I have put in $40O0 in money and four years of hard work. made dOubly so during the past year by Dr. Simpson failing to furnish the money as he agreed.
 These trumped up charges have ap- parently prejudiced the gentlemen, who have invested money with us, against me, but the truth will come out in

The populist convention was one Of
the most notable gatherings that ever
assembled in this state or any other
in many particulars. The convention
was made up in the main Of sturdy
farmers whose skins were bronzed by
Gods own sunlight, and whose hands
were hardened by honest toll. There
was not a free pass holder among
them. Many of them were men of ad-
vanced years and all Of them far
above an average in intelligence. They
were men of individuality and con-
viction, men of present valor, sturdy
iconoclasts free from party idolatry,
political pathfinders.
The exhibition they gave of loyalty
to principle and love for their leader
was touching in the extreme. They
paid their railroad fares and hotel
bills, and took their time from their

the most distant parts of the state
for the sole purpose of endorsing the
entire democratic ticket in case that
party proved to them it's good faith in
its professions by heading the demo-
cratic ticket with G.. w. Berge for
governor, the man who had their con-
fidence and their love. Eighteen
hours is long time to sit and wait
when the thermometer registers SO in
the shade. Yet this Is what the pop
ulist convention did, with two short
recesses. Can any one wonder that
such heroes, for such they were. were
incensed when they learned that their
efforts were in vain. Is it to be won
dered at that the spirit of rebellion
manifested itself. And who can fail
to admire the disinterested patriotism
that marked their proceedings
throughout Such efforts of such
men are not in vain. 1t may not be
given to us to see in what way the
fruits of such efforts may come, but
come it will because God still lives.

that veteran, DR.. Hall, succeeded in
making but a slight impression.
In the democratic convention the
peace-makers had almost as difficult
task. DR.. Hall made masterful
plea that the convention should make
some oyertures to the populists, give
them recognition on the ticket and
unite the reform forces Of the state
He pleaded in the name of Shallen-
berger, entreating the convention not
to send that gallant leader forth to
make his fight shorn of part of his
armor. In a fiery and impassioned
speech ]. w. Woodrough of Omaha,
though expressing his love and re-
spect for the gray-haired Lincoln
banker, declared that the parting of
the ways had been reached, and the
democratic party must go it alone.
Many delegates took the same propo-
sition. Harry DUNCAN, Gilbert M.
Hitchcock, Richard l.. Metcalfe and
other prominent democrats all tried
their hand, but the convention seemed
obdurate.
The truth is that Shallenberger's
victory came as surprise to perhaps
most of the delegates and practically
all of the spectators. The Berge can
didacy had been so persistently
doomed by the republican papers of
the state, both in Lincoln and Omaha; ;
such showing had been made of
Berge sentiment and Berge badges by
populist delegates and outsiders; such
stormy cheers from the side lines
greeted his nomination, that the gen
eral impression seemed to be he
would win in walk. But Shallen-
berger and his friends had been indie
fatigable and unremitting in their eff
forts and had scored great tactical
victory in the withdrawal of w. H.
Thompson from the gubernatorial
race. Here the Berge leaders were
fooled, since they confidently believed
that Thompson's withdrawal would
benefit their candidate. They soon
since once the fight was squarely be-
tween a democrat and populist, it
was found that the tide of Shallen

455 3-5 for Shallenberger to 331 2-5 for

counties changed from Thompson tt
Shallenberger before the announce

have no reason to blame themselves
in the retrospect, for the character
of the fight they made Considering
that they were contending for the
nomination of populist, however
popular, in a democratic convention
and the great hold that Shallenbergel
has on the democratic heart, the
Berge followers made a remarkable
showing that is a splendid tribute t.
Mr.. Berge's standing in the party.

this year, as indicated by Washington

Therefore, today we are still in the
spring season. but tomorrow we shall
be in summer.
With the exception of perhaps half

A RED LETTER DAY

In the annals of Los Angeles a "red
letter" will mark the date June 10, 1906.
The record will show that on the day
noted the first million dollar building
was officially begun in the City of the
Angels. 1t will be shown, further that
the firm of Hamburger & Sons obtained
permit for the great structure and
ing the largest sum ever received by
the building department, down to that
time, for building permit.
But the significance of the million dol
lar building permit is of broader con-
sequence than the breaking of the per-
nit record. 1t exemplifies, most strik-
ingly, the saying that money talks"
1t draws attention to the Los, Angeles
of the past, marks the Los Angeles of
the present and points to the Los An
geles of the future.
Hundreds of hale and hearty citizens
remember the modest little store on
North Main street where the seed of the
present business of Hamburger & Sons
WAS lHGSe tlllZeUS nave seen
the seed sprout and grow in the genial
warmth of Southern California pros
perity to the stupendous proportions
indicated by the starting of million
dollar structure in which to house the
business And the sagacious managers
of that business now show their un-
bounded confidence in the city's future
by giving tangible form to Secretary
Shaw's advice to Los Angeles people,
Build big-build for the future"
A walk through the leading business
thoroughfares of Los Angeles today
will show probably not less than &c.,
900, 900 worth of large and costly mod
ern structures in course of erection.
Every one of these buildings is monu-
ment to the judgment of capital in the
future growth and greatness of Los
Angeles. outside the business section
are thousands of homes, in various
stages of construction, every one attest

that this city is the ideal home site-the

He failed to do so and when the flames
were seen from the street by M j.

fire was quickly extinguished and the
property loss was about $500. The baby
was taken from the room by a fireman
