An Amusing Incident

An incident which happened in the
New York court a short time ago
startled somewhat the judge and the
lawyer
The following is the story:
Sadie Levine, a bright little girl of
IL years, startled Justice Foote and a
jury in the supreme court the other day
by lecturing a lawyer who sought to
prove that she had testified falsely in
behalf of her father, Frank Levine. He
is suing the New York City Railway
company for $4,000 alleging that by
power ofspeech. The little girl tettified
about an attack her father had suffered
four weeks after he was injured. Then
Frederick Moses, counsel for the
company, took her in hand. Moses
tried to get her tangled up in her testi-
mony. When he had finished, Sadie
was told she could leave the stand.
Before l go, your honor she said,
st .nding up and looking at Justice
Foote, Il want to tell this lawyer some
thing. He acted as if everything 1
said was lie. He sneered at me all
through my testimony. If your honor
will permit me, will take an oath
again before the Almighty that every
word / saiG before the court is true
I would not tell lie for my father or
any one else.' 1T is not necessary for
you to take an oath my child Justice
Foote replied: you took the oath when
you took the stand Yes, your honor,
but Mr. NJ Uses sneered at me and acted
as if 1 was telling tibs, I want to tell
Mr.. Moses right now that he may
have seen little girls who would tell
fibs in court but want him to under
stand that am not that kind He
may have doubted your testimony my
little girl the justice replied, but 1
did not. and do not think these men
il the jury thought you were fibing.
You are excused.

Capacity of Carson Mint is Trebled

Superintendent Colcord, of the u. s.
Assay Office, at Carson has received
word that he should put in his requisi-
tiOns for three new gas furnaces, with
blowers, motors and other machinery
needed for their operation.
These furnaces will take the place of
the old coke furnaces. Two of the old
furnaces will be dismantled and on
retained for emergencies. The new
furnaces will be installed as rapidly as
possible. The blowers will be run by
electricity and it will be possible to do
in 30 minutes the work that now re-
quircs an hour and u half, thereby
doubling the capacity of the Carson
Assay Office about twice. Two addi-
tional men will he required and will be
provided
The Office handled last month about
$780, worth of bullion and would
have handled about three times as much
had it not b,en for the unfortunate fact
that the furnaces are not large enough
for the work required in this state
Superintendent Colcord asked for these
improvements some months ago when
the Goldfield Consolidated shipment
of 5000, 900 worth of bullion was tran
shipped because the superintendent had
no facilities for working it. When the
improvements are finished the Mint

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1909.
THEY WORK TOGETHER.

II is hardly necessary for US to
say that the actual commencement OF
canal construction on last Thursday
afternoon will long be remembered
by the large number OF men and wo-
men who participated In the initial
cermonies at the Ament dam. 1t
was an occasion worthy OF those who
gathered at the river side to give aid
and sympathy to the men who have
made II possible to commence this
public enterprise which Is to mark
the dawn Of new era In the indus
trial life OF the people OF the county
OF Josephine. The bright sunshine
and spring like weather added to the
enjoyment OF the patriotic company
who had come to do what they could
to make the Rogue River Valley
bring forth and mature bountiful
haryests OF alfalfa and fruit. Men
talked OF former conditions when the
parched earth refused to make re-
turns to the husbandman. This was
a condition that should obtain no
longer, a fact which seemed to give
great satisfaction to the multitude.
Nature has completed the glorious
valley and caused the beautiful
Rogue River to run through II. but
man, as the orator OF the occasion
said, was required to make union
OF the water and soil, thus complet-
Ing the design Of the Creator. II
has been said that God made the
country, but man made the town"
This is undoubtedly true, but It is
not all the truth. Man Is required
In this advanced day Of civilization
to walk hand In hand with the MAX
or OF heaven and earth, and complete
the work OF the Almighty and make
these OF service to the people.
While we are celebrating this most
important occasion It is to G. w.
Ament, G. @. Ament and M. G.
Amcnt and their capital and energy
we owe very much at this time. Had
they not Joined us in this irrigation
movement II would have been i'm
possible for us to have put water on
our land until some years later, but
fortunately they had the monster
plant. the water and the disposition
to meet all demands and It is largely
through the patriotism OF these gen.
tlemen that We are able to secure ir-
rigation. They came to our aid In
the time of need and gave us the
use OF a great pumping plant and
dam; yes, sold II to us. with practi-
cally nothing In hand.
