There is little use in apportioning
the tax roll Of the city so long. as any
department is permitted to oyerdraw
its account at any time for any amount.
What is the use of having a credit
balance in fund when there is no
money in the treasury to meet it? The
work of the finance committee is di-
viding up the revenues counts for
nothing under the present system
where the first department to go broke
gets the money.

General Demand

of the Well-Informed of the World has
always been for simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; a laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its com
ponent parts are known to them to be
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex-
celient combination of Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of SIENNA, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits of the laxative for its remark
able success.
That is one of many reasons why
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of SIENNA is given
the preference by the Well-Informed
To get its beneficial effects always buy
the genuine-manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale

-as it's western boundary is another
section with an acreage Of mil
lions, and a probable yield OF ten
bushels per acre.
West of this section is an "un-
known wilderness" as far as esti-
mates go. There are 100000 acres of
wheat in this section and Mr.. Koontz
says that it will produce 3,200.000
bushels Of wheat. This makes the to-
tai acreage in wheat million acres.
Last year the acreage was IN mill

6N million acres and the yield was
more than 81 million bushels.
Each year the freight department
of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
makes up it's estimates just before the
harvest begins. This estimate is for
warded to the officials of the traffic
department so that they may have
plenty of time to make arrangements
for handling the crop. The estimates
are prepared from reports of agents,
mill and elevator men, grainmen and
farmers.

HIS PERILOUs TASK.
John Clugston Climbs State House
Dome Flag Pole.

A dollar. minute is better than fair
wages for workman and yet that is
just what the state paid John Clugston
for a few minutes work Monday after
noon and the average man is willing
to concede that he earned his money.
For some time past the pulley at the
top of the flag pole over the secretary
of states office on the capitol building
has refused to work properly and final
ly the rope dropped from it.
Then the trouble commenced for the
pole is a slender affair at best and
shoots forty feet into the air from the
top of the roof of the building. A con-
ference of the state house employees
failed to locate man who was willing
to undertake the task of repairing the
pulley and placing the flag rope in
position even though a fair sized bonus
was offered.
The secretary Of state then called up
Mr. Kellam Of the Bell Telephone COM
pany and asked him If he knew of q
man who would undertake the job ana
Mr. Clugston, the trouble shooter" for
the company. volunteered to undertake
the task. 1t took but few moments
for him to climb the pole after he
reached the top of the building and
affix the rope and adjust the stubborn
pulley. 1t was for this service that
the state officers paid him fee which
amounted to about dollar minute
for the time he was actually employed.

GENERAL SIMON IS
 CHOSEN PRESIDENT

Port au Prince December 17-Gen. An lution in Hayti that resulted in the flight of President Nord Alexis from the capi- tai, and who made his triumphal entry into Port au Prince 10 days ago, was to- day unanimously elected president of the republic by the Haytien congress
 As the result of the election became known the great crowd that had assem- bled outside the departmental building broke into cheers and salutes were fired from the forts and the Haytien gunboats in the harbor.
 Tn other aspirants to the presidency did not come forward actively The req son for this course was the fear that an- other outbreak of the disorder would re- suit in American intervention.
 Congress met in the palace of the senate under the presidency of Senator Paulin. The roll call showed the presence of 117 representatives, and when the vote was counted it was seen every delegate had expressed himself in favor Of General Simon. Senator LaRoche delivered the speech nominating the successful revolu- tionist. He recited General Simon's qual- ifcations for the office and made refer ence to the prominence of the Simon fam fly in the past. He urged congress to keep in mind one single objective-the good of the country-and elect Antoine Simon.
 The nomination was seconded by Dep uty DeLam Brunum.
 At this point number of senators and deputies asked permission to speak, but a majority protested and insisted the vote be taken af once.
 The authorities took ample precautions for the maintenance of order. The streets leading to the palace were guarded by attachments of police and battalion of troops was in front of the residence of the chief executive. All citizens were al- lowed free access to the building, but teh authorities made sure that no man with weapons on his person passed the gate.

PANAMA TRIP IS
 DISCUSSED BY TAFT

Charlottesville, Va, December H.-Pres- ident-elect Tafts visit to the White House today was at the instance of President Roosevelt, who wished to con- suit. with him regarding the details of the Forthcoming trip to Panama, which MT Taft IS to take. While all of the ar arrangements have not been made, it was decided that the trip should be made with two cruisers of the navy. The start will be from Charleston on January 20.
 The decision to have two cruisers to convey the President-elect is a precau- tioE which has been suggested by certain Senators on the ground that there Is no legal provision for a successor to the presidency in the event of a fatality over taking President elect prior to his in- auguration. Further details of the Pan anna trip are to be worked out by Presi- dent Roosevelt.
 This information was made known by Mr. Taft, who passed through here on lis way to Augusta, Ga, tonight. It is probable that Alfred Noble of the Penn sy1vania railroad, and Frederick P. Stearns of Boston, will accompany Mir. 1alt on hs Panama trip. They are both civil engineers.
 Senator 1ilman, who went south on the same train, had a pleasant conver- sation with MT. Taft during the trip.
