partnership for the profits realized
therefrom.
The plaintiffs further allege that
Weber, while the partnership was
still in effect, secured an option on the
Boulder and the Boulder No. l, and
caused the option to be taken in the
name Of John I. Hodson for the pur-
pose of ~defrauding the partnership.
That thereafter the Boulder claims
were transferred by Hodson to the Ne
vada Hills Mining company, in which
Weber and Davis received a large
number of shares, and refused to make
al accounting to the partnership.
Plaintiffs also alleged a conspiracy on
the part of Hodson and Weber to de-
fraud the partnership.
WeLL,r and Davis denied the exist
ence of any partnership with the
Plaintiffs on February ), 1906, except
tnat they entered into an oral agree

the trip into Fairview, and that the

PINEAPPLE PRICES TO DROP;
EXPLANATION FROM HAWAII

Los Angeles Express.-That pine
apples will be cheaper this summer
than for several seasons was the pre-
diction made today by C. S. Marston
of Marston & Martin, fruit dealers. Mr..
Marston has just received eommuni-
cation from Byron o. Clark, one of the
largest growers in the Hawaiian Islands,
which describes peculiar condition in
the pineapple market there.
.SThe financial depression of last year
curtailed the demand for plneapples
and destroyed the market for the
fruit, - said Mr., Marston.
Consequently, a large number of
the growers found themselves with their
money tied up in canned pineapples, as
the crop was large last year, and
great many growers canned heavily on
the prospect of good market.
'.These growers now have large
stocks of canned fruit on their hands;
their funds are tied up in the banks,
and the new crop is coming on. There
are also great many new plantations
just coming into bearing. Ii mar

President Taft and Secretary Bal

it would not be inconsistent with the
interests of the public service to di-
vulge the details of the information
gathered in the oil fields of Mexico by
DR.. Hayes, the chief geologist. The re-
port says that the product is of low
grade, valuable only for fuel use, and
that the republic is likely, for a long
time, to consume it's own output.

The Poor BRIDEGROOM.

Even the English Language empha-
sizes the insignifcance Of a man at his
own wedding" said the prospective
bridegroom disconsolately. There isn't
an independent word to designate him.
He Is merely called the groom Of the
bride, as If he were just about on a
level with the bridesmaids and q 1T
tie below the maid Of honor. Best
man. of course, means the bridegroom's
best man. but the phrase itself tends to
exalt this individual at the expense Of
his superior.
Then there's no adjective to de-
scribe what pertains to the male half
Of the affair. You can't speak Of the
'bridegroomal trousers or necktie. On
the other hand, bridal applies not only
to the possessions Of the girl, but to
what relates to both Of them equally,
like the trip and the bridal chamber.
The very words 'matrimony' and mat
rimoniaI' are from the feminine side
only. 'Patrimony' has nothing to do
with the nuptials. 1t applies only to
wealth and signifies that a mans part
In the affair Is to get out and hustle
