RUEF's NAME ON PAYROLL.
Pacific States Telephone Company
Gave Him Handsome Salary.


San Francisco-Two sensational
pieces of evidence in the bribery-graft
investigation were adduced before the
grand jury Saturday. Three members
of the executive board of the Pacific
States Telephone & Telegraph CON-
pany, E. S. Pillsbury, Homer 5. King
and Timothy Hopkins, testified that
they had no knowledge whatsoever Of
the alleged bribing of supervisors to
vote against the award of a competi-
tive franchise to the Home Telephone
company and that if bribery was COM
nitted 1t was up to" Vice President
Louis Glass, whom the grand jury al
ready has indicted on nine counts, to
explain. Another member of the exc
cutive board, Percy S. Morgan, made
the same denial of knowledge several
days ago when on the witness stand.
The second sensation came when E
S. Pillsbury, who is a director of and
attorney for the Pacific States Tele
phone company, testified that Abra
ham Ruef, the indicted political boss
has been for more than two years OF
the private payroll of that corporation
and has been paid regularly $1,000 8
month. This, said Pillsbury, was more
than the salary paid to himself WheI

MINING NEWS.

According to Manager James F. Nc
Carthy, the total output of the great
Hecla mine near Wallace, is 81, 900,
up to the first of last January. Dur
ing 1906 the mine produced 1854. 900,
the aggregate value of 1852 tons Of
concentrates and shipping ore.
Decline in the price of silver, after
reaching the highest figure it has at
tanned in years, is being closely
watched by owners of silver proper
ties throughout the country who have
either started work on development,
or are contemplating doing SO if high
prices continue to hold.
According to reports the Hercules
mine at Burke, Idaho, has just tap
ped a rich ore body in No. A tunnel.
This is the lowest tunnel on the mine
and was started over a year ago. 1t
has now been driven over 1000 feet,
ind the figures OF the engineers show
that it is necessary to proceed 1000
feet further before the main ledge is
encountered. This strike was entire
ly unexpected, for the company was
not expecting ore before the main
ledge was struck.
During the four or five years the
mine has been producing it has paid
between s2,500,000 and 100000 in
dividends. Last year it paid nearly
81 100000. Most of it's profits have
been made firm clean shipping ore, for
II has only been during the past year
that it's concentration has been in oper-
alton and any income has been de-
rived from this source.
Seven furnaces were running last
week at the CRANKY smelter in British
Columbia maintaining an average of
400 tons each per "a hours. Saturday
2940 tons were put through, being the
largest output, with the exception of
one day last year, that the CRANKY
pant has ever recorded. The eighth
furnace will probably be ready in a
week, at which time. if nothing unfore-
seen happens, the smelter should beat
it's record. One of the big Jumbo
blowers is in operation, requiring for
its running TWO motors, each or lou
horse power capacity. About a.
horse power is now being utilized from
bennington falls. Coke is coming fair
ly well.
Since the consolidation of the Re
public, San Poll, Black Tail, Quilp
and Ben Hur mines at Republic,
Wash, was effected 1t has caused the
industry of the camp to assume a
much better tone. 1t is expected that
the properties will be worked on a
large scale this summer. These mines
have the ore and the ores have the
values. 1t is believed that oy the con-
centrating and cyanide systems to-
gether that the ores can be treated
at a profit. 1t is supposed that both
plants will be erected this summer IN
treat the ores Of the properties.

Premier StoIypin's Programme

When one recalls what Russia was
fifty years ago, the programme OF Pre-
mier Stolypin is reassuring, for he pro-
noses TO inaugurate these reforms:
1. Freedom of speech and of the
press,
2. Liberty of faith; habeas corpus,
on the same basis as other states.
3. The substitution of a single form
of martial law for the various DEGREES
of exceptional security.
A. Local self-government
8. Reform of the zemstvos. Re-
sponsibility of ohicials.
G. Agrarian reforms; the abolition
of the free entry of goods into Vladivo-
stok; completion of the Trans-Siberian
railroad in Russian territory; popular
education.
These reforms are all good so far as
they 90. but so long as they leave all
power in the hands of the Car and
the bureaucrats they will not be ac-
cepted by the Russian people. The
Russian people want government re-
sponsible TO parliament, not to the
Gar: they want general amnesty for
all political prisoners, and they want
a comDlete cessation of drumhead
courtmartial for political oifenses.
The Stolypin programme does not
touch any of these propositions, anu
this is why the premier, who Is a man
far superior to the average bureaucrat,
can make no Roadway among the peo-
pie. 1t is but natural that the Russians
should demand the opening of the
doors of Siberian prisons. They de-
sire to welcome back their eXiled
brothers. and there can be no security
of life or person while drumhead court
martials are held by scores daily. Nor
can there be any semblance of popular
participation while governments are
formed regardless of the wishes of the
peoples representatives in the duma.
The battle is really between the duma
and the Czar--between the people and

go on in its second century as success

both building and equipment.

The fire in its Office occurred just
when the paper was going to press, at
3 o'clock in the morning. Every line
of type and every plate was destroyed,
and yet at 10 o'clock of that morning
the Chronicle appeared. The days

is proof that the work of rebuilding
will be thorough, modern and satisfac-
tory. Long live the south's Oldest

JOHN n. BANkHEAD.

From the Tuscaloosa Times Gazette
The naming of ex-Congressman John H.
Bankhead as member of the new inland
waterways commission by President
Roosevelt was a worthily bestowed COM
pliment. AS outlined in the letter of the
President to each of the commissioners
named. the inland waterways of our
country are now and are susceptible of
being made more important factors in our
system of commerce. The commission
will doubtless find plenty of work to do.
There could hardly have been found a
more competent man than Mr.. Bankhead
for such work as this. His record as con-
gresham representing the Sixth district
of this state is testimonial to his APP
probation of and ability to develop water
ways of all kinds, and one of which he
may be justly proud. This substantial
recognition of his labors in this direc-
ton by the President is much appreciated
by all the citizens of his home district

Irish immigration

The recent celebration of st. Pat
rick's day brings back. to mind the
whole course of Irish immigration. The
population of the green isle has fallen
from about 100000 to 4,456,546, but
new conditions in the ould country
have largely lessened the outward flow.
Once nearly 100000 Irish people came
to this country annually; now we get
less than 10000 a year, and the indi-
cations are that this number will be
reduced. ireland may in the next de-
cennial census hold its own in popula-
ton, That census will be taken in
1911, and the anticipation is that it
will demonstrate the ending of the
great emigration movement.
The upbuilding of Ireland is due in
part at least to the land act which is
gradually abolishing landlordism, and
to the hope that some form of local
government will be granted. Irish
manufacturers are keeping step with
The Improvement in agriculture, and
altogether there is promise of pros
porous and contented Ireland filled as
ever ~ Irishmen. When landlordism
is actually and fully driven out Ireland
will certainly become attractive to
Irishmen. It Is free from crime and
violence, and happy Ireland is in

A mere number or a letter, which at

Co.operative Housekeeping

The destruction by fire of Upton SIN
clair's Helicon Hall. near New York,
has called public attention to the vari-
Gus plans that have been tried to carry
cooperative housekeeping to its limits.
The hall that was rudely destroyed in
lie night was full of people, and there
was a long waiting list, and the author
of "The Jungle" has already announced
that another Helicon Hall will soon be
prepared for occupation.
Urban cooperation is an everyday
matter. Every flat-dweller lives in
practical communism. His rooms are
heated and lighted comparatively. The
water he uses does not come from his
own well, but from communistic pipes.
He rides to and fro in yellow popu-
lar car that he has no more control
over than he has over the moon. His
children go TO a cooperative school.
His bread is baked in a general oven,
and when the living of flat-dwellers,
men and women, is analysed it is seen
/ II he and she are no longer living
on an individual basis, but are in truth
parts of smooth-running, laborsaving
community life. All society for that
matter is an agreement to live together
oommunistically, and there could be
Il civilization of a high grade without
some degree of communism.
Upton Sinclair is applying to sub
urban-to village life, in other words
a. much of community living as cir
cumstances will permit. He aims to
7, luce housekeeping until the word
light" when applied to it overdescribes
1t, and he attempts to bring in various
economies through the work of trained
workers for all. Helicon Hall is new
in the fact that it is an attempt to
apply in the country what has long
been utilized in city flats. But all do
not desire to become of choice flat
dwellers, and there is no probability
Il t other Helicon Halls will arise in
otaer suburbs or even in small de-
tached towns. The flat-dweller is out
of place and out of spirit and out Of
local coloring, so to speak, in the
open country.

Amazed at Growth.

Birmingham is hustling city, and /

at the growth when arrived here today"
said Carl Hutcherson Of Atlanta, former
ly a newspaper man on the Atlanta Jour
nal and the Atlanta News. 1T is six
teen yeare since | was in Birmingham
and | hardly realize that this is the same
town. | cannot say that 1t is better
than Atlanta, for that would be lack Of
loyalty. but it is running a close race
with the Gate City,,
Il wish that we had the wide streets
that Birmingham has. They say a wide
street Is the indication Of country town,
but / wish that Atlanta had a few more
indications of the country village If wide
streets are an indication.
Birmingham appears to me to be a city
of 100000 or 10000 inhabitants, for the
streets are crowded, the stores all seem
to be doing an enormous business and
everyone looks prosperous. In fact this is
a prosperous looking city from all View
points.
