SAM JONES ON PRICE OF MEN AND
PRICE OF HOGS IN IOWA.

Sam Jones once lectured in Sigour-
ney, Iowa, and roasted" those who had
signed saloon petitions. This extract
from his speech is from Sigourney
paper:
This nice little Iowa town, with a
farming region around it, makes one of
the garden spots of the world; but with
all your blessings you can't get along
without three saloons to debauch YOUR
village and ruin your boys, because YOU
need the money!
'-Here Mr.. Jones inquired of the sur
prlsed audience, How much is the
license here?' Some one answered, $500
eachto the town. Nine hundred dollars
altogether, resumed Jones. What is
your population?' Answer, 1000
The speaker then did little lightning
calculation, and resumed:
"The liquor dealer walked up to YOU
and said, IF you will let us damn this
town, we will give you forty cents apiece.
Say, what would 200 pound hog
bring?'
Answer, '$12.' SO, resumed Jones.
hogs Sl2 apiece, and folks 40 cents a
head Say, brother, don't you wish
you were hog? You and your whole
family wouldn't bring enough in
this town to buy sucking pig.
This is little lower down than 1 have
ever found them. For the pitiful sum of
4O cents apiece you turn over your bows
TO be debauched, the hearts of mothers
to be crushed, and the town ruined
all for DO cents This is cheap; but l
expect that it is all you are worth, eh?
want to drop this out. There is
not man of you that signed that pe-
tition to bring saloons to this town, or
county, but deserves that every boy YOU
have inyour home shall fill drunkard's s
grave, and your daughters live in the
embraces of drunken husbands. What
did you sign it for. you lousy devils?
Ii you did not want your boy to drink,
or your daughter to marry drunkard,
you damnable scoundrels, what did YOU
do 1t for? Stand up on your hind
feet and talk back. You surely did
not sign hoping your boy would not
drink but your neighbor's would. Why
don't you say, TO tell you the God AL
mighty truth L did it for the 40 cents. >
III the devil don't get you for it, it is
just because he don't want you; and
every man that will sign that pc
tltion-the devil will get the last man
OF you-but thank God he won't get
much If you fellows that signed that
petition don't feel like hog, you don It
feel natural, that's all. 4"

The man with bad digestion usually
makes a bad citizen. No one knows how
much criminality finds its basis in
mind warped through improper nou-
rishment. The healthy man with a
good stomach makes a good citizen.
He feels right, talks right, and acts
right. If we all had good stomachs
countless evils would disappear from
our lives.

SPEED OF FISHES,

When scientists desire to find out how
FAST certain bird flies. it is necessary
only to set up poles and note by stop
watches the time the bird REQUIRES to
cross the interval. The speed of fishes
is more difficult to ascertain. Never
theless estimates have been made show
ing that the mackerel, considering its
handicap III size, comes close to being
the champion racer.
Unquestionably the mackerel travels
sometimes as fast as an express train
at high speed-say, at the rate of sixty
or possibly seventy miles an hour.
Other things being equal, the larger
the fish, the faster it swims, just as the
huge steamboat is able to travel at a
speed much greater than the little
harbor tug.
Undoubtedly the energy employed by
fish of great size, such as thirty foot
shark, when travelling at its best gait,
is something tremendous. An ordinary
tug, which represents maximum of
energy in minimum of bulk, utilizes
about 200 horsepower. Of course it is
only a guess, but it would not seem to
be over the mark to suppose that a
seventy foot whale makes use of 500
horsepower, when it propels its huge
bulk through the water at a rate of
thirty miles an hour.
A whale which is mammal and not
fish, might be compared to freight
train if the shark is cannon ball ex-
press, but it can beat the fastest
ocean greyhound" in a speed contest.
The tarpon is probably faster than
the shark. 1t is believed that a tarpon
N hurry can travel at the rate OF
eighty miles an hour.

DOUBT VALUE OF LONG RUNS
Railroad Officials Beginning to Grow
Skeptica

Railroad officials are discussing the
value Of long runs with heavy trains
Some are of the opinion that 1t is n
great detriment to the rolling stock
while others say that short runs of eight
or nine hours can be of little profit to
the railroad companies.
Many runs which require seven and
eight hours are considered short when
compared with runs which require
eleven and twelve hours with few stops.
The long runs, it is said, not only do a
great damage to the engines, but the
men are worn out and unfit to make
the return trip after they have had only
five or six hours rest.
At many of the divisions it is said
that it is hard to find a place to rest
comfortably and get provisions on the
return trip. Some roads have prepared
for cases of this kind, however, by
building rest houses, where for nominal
prices the men can secure lodging ana
provisions.
Some railroads have not yet decided
that it is a great strain on the engines
to force them through long runs, but
records show that the lines which fol-
low this policy are the ones that are
the most frequent victims of wrecks.
1t is said that the cause of the majority
of these wrecks can be traced to either
overworked men or to bad engine.

The two men mentioned are Roderick
Mckay and w. B. Ellis, the formers

his other work.
One of these experts will be en-
ployed by the gas committee of the

the committee will secure another eX-

He Is a machnist and two years ago

investigate garbage plants in eastern
cities. Previous to that Mckay was

Ellis is a telephone man, but has
credentials commencing him as gas
expert.
Chairman Lyon said that he expected

SPOKANE CASE MADE CLEAR
Will Not Depend on Water competi-
tion Alone

SPOKANE, Wash, Jan. 16.-Through
several answers made to sharp IN
ouiries of Commissioner Prouty at to-
days hearing of the Spokane rate case
it was revealed that the attorneys 1of
the coast cities will not depend upon
the argument of water competltloh
alone. but will maintain that Seattle.
Portland and Tacoma suffer from dis
crimination in favor of Spokane.
By Associated Press.
Joseph N. Teal, for the Portland
chamber of commerce, insisted that ne
desired to give notice that Portlands s
petition for intervention would be
amended to meet the new arguments
of Spokane, for which he said defend
ants had not been prepared.
Commissioner Prouty said:
Il understand that the justification
for a terminal rate exists wholly on the
basis of water competition. Were this
not so the coast cities would not be
justified in having lower rates than
Spokane. 1t has been decided by the
commission that water competition Is
a factor whatever bearing it may have
on the case"

MUSIC AND DRAMA
"M onte Cristo" Popular

James O'Neil was accorded a royal
welcome last night in the production
of his great masterpiece, 1.-The Count
of Monte Cristo." at the Mason.
Los Angeles theatergoers failed to
appreciate THE Voice of the Mighty"
but then the local public has a habit
of failing to appreciate new things. 1t
was not disappointed last night how
ever, for with James O'Neil in the
dual role of Edmund Dantes and the
Count of Monte Cristo and a company
evidently picked especially for that
production. little more could be asked.
OF O'Neils Monte Cristo nothing
can be said. When a man has played
the same part for twenty years or
more he has become so letter perfect
that a critic would not think of do
ing more. than joining in the chorus
of praise
Young Neil manages to distinguish
himself in a minor part under the tu-
telagc of his father, whom he may
some day succeed in the hearts of the
people of the world, who have come to
think of O'Neil as the real Monte
Cristo.
Miss Teresa A. Dale appeared as
Mercedes to advantage. Kate Fletcher
did wonders with the insignificant role
of the Carconte and Edward Donnelly's
Interpretation of Nortier was a work
OF art. Tonight O'Neil will be seen
in Monte Cristo' probably for the
last time in Los Angeles.

MUSHET Stops
CARCASS CRAFT
New Official Holds UP Demand of
Contractors and Calls for an
temzed State
ment

The dead animal graft has met a
snag i'm the watchful oversight of city
Auditor Mushet
Rohrer & Tainter, the contractors,
received a shock when their December
demand for $40495 was held up. Pre-
vious demands for removing and dis
posing of dead animals and condemned
meat have gone through, but the De-
cember demand fell into the hands of
a new official, who asked Rohrer g.
Tainter for an itemized statement.
December, 1905, 12,421 pounds of con-
demned meat fell into the hands of
Rohrer & Tainter There was less
amount last December, the poundage
being 1O,z3O. High water mark was
reached in September when the con-
tractors received 23,25O pounds. The
grand total for the year was 74,S4S
pounds.
Next to the condemned meat output
Is the item for dead dogs and cats
The mortality was high for 1906, the
number Rohrer & Tainter charging for
being 1876 They have charged for 2255

FERD X. RULE IS A GRANDPA
Another Distinction Conferred on a
WelI-knoWn Los Angeles
Resident

To add to the other degrees of dis
tinction belonging to Ferd K. Rule, the
title of grandfather was conferred upon
him yesterday and he is the happiest
man in town.
The reason is, the birth of baby
daughter to his son and daughter-in-
law Mr.. and Mrs. Frank K. Rule of 721
West Washington street.
Mrs. Rule was formerly Miss Miner
and since she ceased to be a reigning
belle among the maidens she has been
most popular young matron, though
home duties have kept her away from
society Of late.
The visit Of the stork is hailed with
joy in both the Rule and the Milner
families and it is said that the smile
worn by the happy grandfather puts
all his former attempts at smiling far
in the background
