TURN UP AS
USUAL, LOOKING FOR LAND

The Chronicle contains the follow
ing, which will be read with amuse-
ment here where the tricks of the
Molokans are well-known:
w. NJ Coward of Stockton arrived
at the Palace Hotel yesterday, accom-
panied by a Russian interpreter, for a
conference with some representative
Russian settlers who wish to form a
large agricultural colony in California.
The vanguard of these colonists is
already in San Francisco, and 5000
more of them are temporarily working
in Los Angeles until such time as their
spokesmen shall decide upon the most
desirable place for them to settle in
one large colony occupying at least
80. 900 acres.
Their interpreter, himself Russian
Jew, discussing these prospective set
tiers yesterday, said in effect:
They are the most desirable class
of coIonists in all Russia. They are
big, powerful men, and their women
are very strong and helpful Those in
Los Angeles are all working. The men
are mostly working in the lumber
yards, and earning 81 and $3.50 a day,
and their women are making s1.5o a
day doing laundry work.
Those who have arrived in San
Francisco are working at the Union
Iron Works.
They are a distinctive people. They
are neither Greek Catholics nor Jews.
They believe in Christ. but their re-
ligion is peculiar. They believe that
everybody should work; that all should
do something useful. They abhor pork
and will not touch it, and they observe
fast days. They have no ministers.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1907-03-30

They do not believe in paying men Of
their own class to teach them religion.
The older men in each settlement take
turns Sundays in conducting religious
services
These people neither drink nor
gamble. Their religion forbids such
vices, and the people observe the rule.
They come from a district near Mos
COW, in that part of Russia which was
one time Turkey.
This is my first visit to San Fran
cisco and I have not seen these people
before, but from my conversations
with them | believe that if these now
in California find locality where they
can settle and form al agricultural
colony by themselves, il will only be
three, four or five years before all the
rest of their people will emigrate from
Russia and settle in California. There
are only 10000, all told. What they
seem to want is wheat land, about 100
or 40 acres for a family. They are
extremely thrifty, and are losing no
time making money while their agents
are looking over the State for a satis-
factory location.
They caln themselves 'Molakanos.'
That is the name of the religious sect
they belong to. From the way those
that 1 have seen talk, they appear to
be the best possible type of European
colonists. because they are temperate,
thrifty and industrious"
Several of these exemplary Russians
appeared at the Palace Hotel yester-
day, and excited a great deal Of inter-
est because. of their size and their dis
tinctive Russian garb, high top boots
and long skirted coats fitted close at
the waist

I The men then said that they'd go out
side to get their Colonel
But the Lieutenant Colonel had a
word or two to say on the subject. His
ambition has been to be Colonel of the
regiment and to see a subordinate
placed above him, didn't strike the
Colonel in any better light than it did
Sam, So he made compromise, He
gave his word of honor to the men that
if they elected him Colonel he would
quickly retire from the command.
This proposition suited the men and
Chas. w. Ziegler was elected Colonel
last night. 1t is stated on good
authority. that he has already handed
in his resignation to take effect as soon
as his successor may be legally elected
which will be after the elapse of four
teen days.
OF course Sam will be 'it," and the
matter of two weeks won't make much
difference.
Colonel Ziegler will command the
regiment next Tuesday at the Park but
that will probably be the only chance

Washington. Jan. 2A-The Secret Service has lust

at Richmond Va and the discovery clears up a
mystery that has been worrying the Treasury De-
partment for sixteen years
In 1891 Congress passed "a bill making IL unlaw-

Treasury Department, TO have in his possession
samples or counterfeit money OF any description
All the banks In the country promptly turned IN

terfeit money had been In the safe but had rnyste
riously disappeared. Although dlligent search had
been made for the missing bills. they could not be-
found. and no clew could be obtained OF their
