MILLS STARTS UNIQUE PAPER
Saturday Evening Tribune to Be
Name Of The Freak

Walter Thomas Mills, who lectured
on socialism here yesterday evening.
intends to start weekly paper in Sc
attic shortly which he believes will be
a little different from any other paper
ever published
The unique feature will be in the
manner in which the news is to be ar
ranged. All the political news of the
week will be summarized in Succinct
paragraphs and placed on one page;
all the religious news on another, labor
and fraternal news on another and so
On The idea is to make it possible for
one reading the paper to tell at a
s'ahce what effect the events of the
week nave had on progress in the diff
'eFent lines of activity of the country.
MT. Mills believes that in no other
paper Is the news classified and
ouhched' in exactly this way but
'hat II Is scattered indiscriminately all
'.er the paper. In this paper the kind
Vi news and not what is generally
'@Ned It's news value will determine its
place in the paper.
hu'ofially the paper will be social
,Suc as Mr.. Mills himself will manipu-
m'e 'he We columns. The Saturday
1'eiilils Tribune will be the name of
"e journalistic oddity and it will be a

SAN FRANCISCO, Mch. 21.-Pre-
pared for almost anything as the re-
suit of the graft developments of the
past three days, San Francisco, was
compelled to gasp with astonishment
when it had laid before it this morn
ing the tabulated dishonesty of it's su-
pervisors as revealed by the indict-
ments reported against Ruef and The
odore Halsey, and was given an added
shock when in the list of impeach-
ment of lawmakers was found the
name the president of the board Of
public works. Duffey, who since he
left the supervisors board has became
a public idol because of the great en-
ergy displayed by him in bringing the
city out of a state of chaos.
LangdOn's statement that men of
the highest business and social stand
ing, pillars of the church and society,"
are caught in the net and will be pros
ecuted without mercy, has created a
sensation almost as great as the an
nouncement of the supervisors confess
sion.
If all Langdon says is true, and
there is every reason to believe it is, in

Hammers are out for the new far
mers' employment agency and there
has already been considerable amount
of knocking on the organization which
the farmers of the county formed for
their protection.
:. The Irregular employment agent is
the "sorest" man of all. Visions of de-
pleted revenues have caused him to
begin his work of opposition to the
farmers. y - -.--r,
One agent called around at the rooms
being fitted up on Alder street yester-
day and gave some unsolicited advice
to Agent Emil Sanderson and also
threw in his opinion of the new scheme
for good measure Sanderson declares
he proposes to mind his own business
and expects others to do the same;
that he Is a little man but it will not
be exactly healthy for even a big EN-
ployment agent to interfere too much
around the farmers headquarters

tiOn of opposing the new agency If he
had to meet every train and turn every

''We hardly expected oppc sitipn from
the newspapers. We thought the
agents would kick, but cannot see why
any Of the newspapers should knock
us.
This aeenLy has nothing to do with
politics, there are democrats and re-
publicans and boxers who went into
this together and it is hard to see why
any paper in the city should oppose
u.s."
: In spite of the various sorts Of op-
position the new agency seems to be
prospering. The room has been pa
pered and fitted up with stove and desk
and by tonight Agent Sanderson thinks
everything will be in shape.
A goodly bunch of men looking for
jobs were hanging about the place
this morning and several of them were
sent out to farmers who wanted help.
Applications for laborers were tele-
phoned in to the agency from farmers
on every side yesterday and were noted
down in the register established for
the purpose. The places will be filled
with laborers as fast as they apply.

STRIKE VEIN Of
BEER MAKER
After Spending Thousands
Betz Brewery Is Lucky

After spending $4,000 and more than
one year in drilling an artesian we'll
to obtain a flow of water, the Betz
Brewing company has found a spring
near the well which promises to pro-
vide an ample supply for the use of the
company.
Its discovery was made by workmen
excavating for the city sewer. The
stream of water running into the ex-
cavation is of fair size. An effort will
be made to discover it's source.
The artesian well was sunk a depth
of 1910 feet. 1t was piped to the bottom.
The stream which issues from it is
small and would not be drop in
the bucket to what the company re-
quires for it's use.
Manager RetZer said this morning a
part of the pipe would be removed
and an effort made to locate the exact
location of the subterranean stream
flowing into the we'll. 1t is believed
this is about 700 feet fro mthe sur
face. If such should be the case

be increased. The water was analysed
and found to be almost pure.
The stream which was discovered
flowing into the excavation Is only a
short distance from the well. An effort
will be made to locate it's source. The
sewer is only IL feet deep. The water
comes from the direction of the exca-
walton in the rear of the brewery. Only
a few feet would be excavated to find
it's source. If possible the water from
the spring will be either turned into
the artesian well or into a well UNDER
meath the brewery.

''THE AUTHORITY OF CHRIST"
Theme of Sermon by Rev. Victor

The sermon of Victor Doris at the
Christian church last night was one
of the best. The Authority Of
Christ" was the theme, and IL WIS
made TO stand out as the thonght
above all others that needed empha-
sis.
MANY are willing to accept the
authority OF Christ in many things"
said the speaker. but in many things
they ignore the authority OF Christ.
And II Christ gives n command for
the performance OF any thing. or for
the acceptance OF any principle. II is
our duty to accept--to be obedient
TO II. The whole question of Chris
tianity rests on the authority OF
Christ. II Christ has not all author
ity in heaven and on earth. he has
no authority at all.
"And So" the evangelist insisted,
1--WE have no right to make distinc-
tlons between what was the authori-
~ of Christ and accept or reject
what we pleased for our personal
or religious views or teachings"
II was great sermon and was list
ened to by q splendid audience OF In

vices will be resumed Friday even
