In this country there Is none so large

tance over which the electricity is car
ried, III miles, is greater than has ever
been attempted before and the pressure

there is not the slightest reason for

Los Angeles Merchants VIII Form a
Committee and Conduct a Special
Excursion In Pursuit of
Elusive Dollar

Representative officers from the
chamber of commerce, the Merchants
and Manufacturers association, the
chamber of mines and the Jobbers'
association will meet this afternoon to
form larger committee for active
work in regard to the proposed ex-
cursion to Southern Nevada
AT present the members of the COM
mittee, and who will confer today, are
Gen. John r. Mathews, president of
the chamber of mines; ]. M. Schneider
president of the Merchants and Manu-
facturers' association; w. D. Stephens
president of the chamber of commences;
and c. D. Willard, secretary of the
Jobbers' association.
The Nevada excursion will be ar
ranged mainly for the business men
and wholesalers of Los Angeles who
desire to actively enter the southern
district of the neighboring state in
commercial pursuits. Los Angeles is
the legitimate base of supplies for all
the country as far as Tonopah and
even farther and the work allotted to
the larger committee to be chosen this
afternoon will be to enlist the business
men who should be interested in the
excursion.
No date for the excursion has been
set, but traffic manager Gillette of the
Salt Lake announces that he will make
a rate of S27 for the round trip to
Tonopah. including stop overs at the
towns en- route

BIG CALIFORNIA
TRACT is OPENED
GoVernment viii Release 1ae,2so
Acres in San Jacinto Reserve
for Homesteads-FiIing
August 26

The largest tract of public land ever
opened for homesteauing in Southern
California was released by the gov
ernment yesterday, when 129,2S0 acres
of the San Jacinto reserve were put
on the list of acquirable property. The
lands are subject to entry July 27, but
selection and filing will not be per-
mitted previous to August 26.
This land contains but little desert
soil in its vast area, and is for the
most part fertile and easily worked.
It extends from a point just south of
Riverside clear to the Mexican line and
is at present used as fee range and bee
ranch sites by government permit.
There is plenty of water already in
sight on the property and much more
can be developed with but little work.
Because the land is composed of such
readily tillable acres, and because of
its close proximity to the Los Angeles
markets, it is thought that there will
be a rush of locaters when the reserve
is made ready for filing. The local land
office has not yet been apprised as to
the purposes to which the new tract
can be put and advices from WASH
ington are expected within few days.

Miss Morton has had an enviable

later with the Fischer company, where

understood that the new position she
assumes in San Francisco will give
her much greater opportunity to dis

with a smaller enrolment each than at Rampant in l9O4-'05, namely, 3S. From the school year lS97-'9S to that of 1905- -'O6, both inclusive, the amount of money from congressional appropria- tions and from half of the license fees collected outside of incorporated towns, devoted to educational purposes in Alaska, amounted to S664, ,43S.36, of which about $500 was expended in Rampant.
 In other words, Rampant from the first year of it's existence up to June 30, 1906, received less than $l out of every $1, 100 expended for educational pur- poses. How far this falls below the camps just share of the school fund may be better realized by a simple cal culation. If Rampant received $l out of 100, then in order to equalize the per capita benefit from the school fund the population of the territory will have to be computed at 100 times that of Ram part. No one will claim that 800 is too high a figure at which to estimate the camps average population since lS97- '9S: therefore the territory at large should have 300 times HOO, which is 550 GOO. Besides all this, approximately three-quarters of the population of the territory reside in incorporated towns or in reach of the same for school pur- poses, and are in noWise entitled to and do not receive any portion of the license money mentioned above, provision be- ing made for them out of the licenses collected within the corporations.
 Of course such figuring is ludicrous, but it may be instructive, nevertheless.
 Add to the foregoing the fact that in the near future there seems no likeli- hood oi getting any school money at all and it may very well cause residents to question their wisdom in voting down the proposition to incorporate the town in 1905 With the town incorporated, at least a portion of its license money would be expended locally

 A severe accident bcfell Ben F. Baker manager of F. G. Manley's trading post at Hot Springs, last week. MT. Baker has been afflicted with lumbago for some time. and in going up stairs his legs collapsed and he fell to the floor at the foot of the stairway with great free. The shock was SO severe that MT. Baker had to take to his bed but it is hoped he will come around all right.
 The mild weather started the over- flow on Big minook creek to such an ex- tent that dog teams had to leave the creek and take the unbroken trail over Ruby hill. John Clinton, who had set out to have look at the Tenderfoot country, found the proposition so tough that he abandoned the trip; and Julius Rahmstorf, headed for the other side of the divide, came back without accom- plishing his object.

ated towns of Alaska was paid into the United States treasury for the use of the secretary of the interior in carving on schools in the unincorporated sections of Alaska. The amounts received from this source were:

 The income from this source enabled the secretary of the interior to pay the current expenses of said schools, and in addition to authorize the erection of school buildings at Barrow, Copper Cen ter, Deering, Golofnin, Haines, ley Cape, Iliamna, Jackson, Rake, killisnoo, Xiv aida, klawock, Klukwan, kotzebue, Point Hope, Shakan, Shishmaref, St. Michael, Tanana, Tee Iarbor, Teller, Wainwright, Wales and Wrangell, and to purchase buildings for school pur- poses at Bettles and klinquan, making d total of 26 buildings.
 The Fifty-eighth congress passed an act, approved January ?, 1905, by the provisions of which the governor of Alaska, as eX otficio superintendent of education, was placed in charge of schools for white children and children of mixed blood who lead a civilized life throughout the territory. Under the provisions of this act the education of Eskimos and Indians in Alaska remains under the direction and control of the secretary of the interior, and schools for this purpose are provided for by annual appropriation. In accordance with this legislation congress appropriated $50 ,000 to maintain the schools for natives dur ing the fiscal year ending June 30, 1906, and $100,000 for their support during the fiscal year to end June 30, 1907.
 Of the money from all sources for white and native schools Rampant has had a school but nine months, that be- ing during the school year l904-'05. In the annual statement of the commis- sioncr of education for the year ending June 90, l906, Rampant - not named in q list of places where schools are to be rcopened; hence We may conclude that the school at this place is regarded by the authorities as permanently closed.

Leavenworth Council Passes 4 Strict
Ordinance.

Leavenworth. Kan. Jan. 1S.-A new
ordinance prohibiting the sale and use
CT opium for nonmedicinal purposes
was adopted at the council meeting
last night. The old ordinance was
faulty in the fact that the dope
smoker could not be punished and
the new one was drawn up with the
intention of remedying this and other
minor defects. Besides eliminating
these the ordinance adopted covers
more ground generally.
The police and courts found that
their fight against the dope joints
was ineffectual when they hauled up
loads of men and women caugh
smoking opium, only to have them
turned loose-or at most given a light
fine on some other charge. The old
ordinance provided for the punish.
ment of the owner of the Joint but
seldom if ever information could be
secured that would lead to the dis
covery of the salesman; so it was seen
that if dope joints were to be closed
the user of opium would have to be
punished.
The ordinance adopted makes it
misdemeanor for any person to sell.
keep. give or accept and to smoke
opium it being understood that the
salesman knowingly sells it for the
purpose of smoking.

CEMENT PLANT MACHINERY.
Ten Big Kilns to Be Made at Once for
Independence Deal.

Independence, Kan, Jan. -1S.-Chief En-
gineer Maythan of the Cowham Engineer
ing company of Jackson, Mich, who has
been here for several weeks past in con-
nection with the new cement DEAL left
yesterday for Jackson. He has gone over
the ground of the proposed new plant
carefully and has outlined the plan for
construction. He will complete his de-
signs and estimates and the order for
the machinery will be placed a once.
The order for the monster kilns will be
placed Immediately with Massillon. o..
firm. They will be ten in number, ITO feet
long and feet in diameter inside the fire
brick. These kilns will allow the new
plant to make at least 1000 barrels more
than that produced by the Western States
and it's capacity will be fully great as
that of the Mason City, Ia, mill being
erected by Mr.. Cowham and his associ-
ates Aside from the kilns the same gen
eral ideas of construction as were used
in the Western States will be applied to
the new factory.
The ten monster kilns which will be or
dered can not be delivered in less time
than one year. but in the meantime the
work of laying out the buildings and put
ting in the foundations will be pushed.
