THE CHAMPION CRATER.

assay yer at Nogales, and he was
 paid four dollars each for assays
 made on account of the govern
 ment. The average cost of those
 assays was about sixteen cents
 each. So he was clearing nearly
 2000% on the business How was
 that for a graft? And there were
 many. such assays at that extraor.
 dinary rate of profit. When Col
 lector Baker was in charge he re-
 commended that the assays be
 made in El Paso, where the United
 States had an assayer on salary,
 and that way of doing the work
 was ordered, cutting off the rich
 graft Buttinski had enjoyed so
 long. Then through the interces- sion.of someone the order sending
 the assays to El Paso was revoked and they..were returned to But
 tinski, but the price was cut to two dollars per assay. Even then he
 was making nearly 1000Go profit on work that cost him but sixteen cents per assay. When Collector McCord took charge he found that he could get the assays made at the University of Arizona at one dollar each, and he arranged mat ters so that Buttinski was paid but that price for the assays he made, (which was about 500% pro- fit; and at that figure his bill against the government one month last year was about eighty dol lars.
 All the foregoing can be proved, andsit shows what kind of graft CT has been this man Pellegrin. And yetlhe nas the supreme gall to prate about the alleged graft in public printing in Arizona, insist ing that the prices sought to be established by the bill now before the legislature are sufficient, when [ all real newspaper men know that : a hrst class newspaper cannot do i the work without positive loss at [ the prices the Krook bill seeks to ! establish.
 And on his ordinary business of l assaying for the gen. 9ral public it can be seen plainly what highway robber is this man Pellegrin when he charges one dol ; md a half each for assays that [ cost on an average about sixteen U 'ents each. He is getting about i, 5O% profit from the general pub n 4 lc. Yet with all that graft he U must needs butt into the news h paper and printing business, and r york to reduce the already small II profits of the most poorly paid t business in Arizona. Such man } not fit for association with dogs; q nd Nogales suffers constantly for Iaving harbored him. He stands tsll orth as an alleged representative of of itizen, and the Town of Nogales if

SEATTLE, Jan. 21.-The first hear

day by Interstate Commerce Commits
sloner Franklin X. Lane. After four
witnesses had been heard the hearing
was continued until Thursday morn

Ben Campbell, fourth vice president
of the Great Northern and head N

who was formerly connected with the
traffic department of the Hartman
lines as assistant to J. c. Stubs, was
the first witness examined today. Mr..
Campbell was head of the traffic d.
! partment Of the o. r. & N. before the
merger with the Southern Pacific. Mr..
Severance sought to show by Camp
bell that previous to the merger COM
petition did exist between the South
ern Pacific on the one hand and the
| OR. & n, the Oregon Short Line and
the Union Pacific, and that after the
merger this competition ceased. The
| affairs of the o. R. & Ms Oriental
service were gone into and it devel'
oped that these various lines, includ-
ing a service by contract with Dowell
& Company and the o. R, & Ms own
line the Portland and Asiatic, were
operated at loss.
why were these lines established :
!. asked Judge Lovett.
Solely for the purpose of affordine
an outlet at Portland in competition
