We call the attention Of the county
road commissioners to the bad crossing
that will be- left at the Armenia mine
where the new railroad crosses the
county road. According to present
calculations cut i5-feet deep will be
made across the road and unless some
thing is done the public will be incon-
venienced and put in actual danger of
life in making that crossing.
The railroad company should be com.
PEELED to put 10 an overhead crossing
at that point and our commissioners
should be content with nothing less.

TAFT WINS FITZGERALD.
Cannon Democrat Takes a Whack at
Roosevelt's Extravaganza.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-'A man
has come to the White House who
has some idea of the value of money
and the necessity of saving it," de-
clared Representative Fitzgerald, OF
New York, in the House today, add
ing that it was the duty of the House
to back up the president in his eff
forts to economic. Fitzgerald is
the man who at the extra session led
the Democratic bolt to Cannon.
1t was in opposing an appropria-
ton for a clerk for the House COM
mittee on the Alcoholic Liquor Traf-
fc that Mr.. Fitzgerald took the OPP
portunity to refer to what he de-
clared was the extravaganza prac-
ticed under the administration of his
old enemy, ex-President Roosevelt,
Representative Sperry, of Connect
cut, chairman of that committee, In
asking for the appropriation. said
that last year when he did not need
a clerk he had been given one and
there was objection to his having it.
The House, by a vote of 1873 to
124, decided to allow the commit
tee to retain its clerk.

SOME INTERESTING POINTS ABOUT THE
RESOURCES OF AMALGAMATED AND PART
THEY WILL PLAY IN THE BIG COMBINATION

control, which has extensive coal
lands and 100 coaking ovens, and
the further holdings of 1900 acres OF
coal lands through the company's
ownership of the Washoe Copper Co.
1t has also been conservatively es-
timated that the coal and coke prop
critics of the Amalgamated are worth
over $4,000, 900, and the statement
has frequently been made that If all
the Amalgamated property aside
from it's copper mines, were apprais-
ed the aggregate value would closely
approximate the total value of its
outstanding $155,Ovo,000 of stock.
1t is reported that the company
has liquidated all its investments in
hotels, department stores and other
extraneous property and has thereby
considerably increased its cash hold
ings.
The Amalgamated, of course, has
some very valuable copper properties,
although so much has been heard
about steam shovel propositions of
late that the impression has been
gaining ground that Amalgamated
vas not very much Of a factor in the
copper market on account of it's high
cost of production. 1t has frequently
been stated that the Amalgamated's
cost of production is over 10 cents a
pound, but through the adoption of
the most modern and scientific
methods, it is believed that at the
present time the actual cost of pro-
duction has been reduced to about
9k cents. The company produced
in 1906, 224, 600 900 pounds of cop
per and it is not unreasonable to pre-
sumo that this production will be in
creased from year to year as the de-
mand for the metal improves.

FAMILY FEUO.
Shooting of MRS. HinkIey Lays
Bare the Skeleton

SAYS IT'S JEALOUSY.
Daughter, Held on Charge of
Firing the Shot,
Says Her Mother Was in Love
With the Son.in. Law.
SAYS IT'S JEALOUSY

Chicago, July 24.-Jealousy is given
by Mrs. Agnes c. Mayffeld as the ex-
PLANTATION of the circumstances which
led to her arrest on a charge of shoot
ing her mother, Mrs. Gertrude A.
Hinkley.
In a police station cell Mrs May
field added volumin ousIy to her first
version of the development of an in
/ tense hatred between herself and the
other members of the family.
Mrs. MayfieId eIoped with DR.. R.
Newton Mayfield. a man as old as
her mother in February, 1908, ac-
cording to her own story of the
family quarrel. She asserted that her
mother loved the man at that time
and had not changed her attitude
since the marriage.
Another daughter of Mrs. Hinkley,
Mrs. H. Sheldon Peck, speaking for
her mother who had not recovered
from her wound sufficiently to talk,
denied the story of maternal jealousy
and declared that Mrs. Mayfield was
only talking for effect because of the
change made against her.
The family feud as described was
said to be. more acute because of
business rivalry for the control of the
Colorado Mining company and the
Colorado PenoIeS Tunnel and Mining
company, in which nearly all the
members Of the family are stock
holders

Eaton of this city served notice on the
club houses to close he was retired
from the field without making any in
vestigation of the premises. The club
took the stand that it was not violating
any law when its members kept their
own liquors in their private lockers at
the club house.
The next chapter in the controversy
was written when Governor Stubbs
withdrew his membership from the To-
peka club for the alleged reason that
the club was violating the law and he
did not want to cripple the efforts of
the attorney general in his war on the
club.
The club stood pat on it's declaration
that it is not violating the law. Many
of the brightest lawyers in the state
belong to the Topeka club and they
have all taken the stand that the club
is not violating the law. When this
case is settled by the supreme court
next fall the courts decision will either
make the prohibition law ironclad and
copper riveted in this state, or it will,
if adverse to the attorney generals
opinion. define the limits to which the
state law can override the constitution.

constitutional lawyers in the state, re-

Socialists Manifest COnsterna-
tiOn at the Fact
That War and Navy Is Given
Over to Professionals.

Paris, July 24.-M. BRAND today
definitely succeeded in forming a new
cabinet to succeed the recently re-
signed Clemenceau ministry, his Of
fer to General Brun and Admiral De
La Payrere to take the portfolios of
minister of war and minister of ma
rine. respectively, having been ac-
cepted.
The new cabinet is made up as fol-
lows:
Premier and minister of interior

Minister OF war-General Brun.
Minister of marine-Admiral De
La Payrere.
Minister of justice-M. Barthou.
Minister of foreign affairs-M.

Minister of agriculture-M. Rua.
Minister of the colonies-M. Trouil-

The Paris press seems skeptical
regarding the duration of the new
cabinet, but the general impression
IS favorable Inc mOneyed interests
are especially gratified at the disap-
pearance of Nj. Cailliaux from the

The socialists manifest consterna-
tion at the fact that the portfolios of

but the course of NJ. BRAND in plac-
ing the national defense in the hands
of general and an admiral is con-
sidered the best guarantee that the
