p
lin consultation with DIR. Roberts
Tuesday morning. He spent few
hours in town with friends. This
was hisifrst trip to our town. Dr.
Simpson in the past has done quite
a deal of practice in this section,
and quite frequently was called in
consultation cases at Old Reyno,
but since the new town has been
founded the Doctor, on account OF
ill health, has not been able to visit
our section so often, professionally.
DR.. Simpsons memory of Old Rey-
no and the stirring times of those
days is replete with story and song
and it is a rare treat to listen to
him anent those historic times, in
fact, the Doctor is a fine story tel
Ter, or rather entertainer, | should
say. Glad we are to have you visit
us, Doctor, and make it convenient
to see our little city oftener.
Remember the w. O. w. m-
yelling at the Johnston cemetery
Sunday, and all Sovereigns please
be on hand and assist in the ser
vices.
L. F. Maynard is yet looking for
that span of ponies-write him
what you have. He wishes a
matched team, weighing each about
900 lbs, well broke, young, good
drivers.
Wonder why our ball boys don't
have a good matched game on our
home diamond? 1t appears that it
is about time for some of us to be-
gin getting a dividend on our in
vestment. For one, I'd rather see
those new suits walking across the
ball yard as to see them perambula-
ting the streets.
Perry Simpson, the gentlemanly
assistant cashier of the First Ma
tional Bank of Corning, was in
town a few minutes one day recent
ly. Perry formerly held a position
with the j. M. Hawks business
here. He was accompanied by the
two Misses Gray of Corning. They
stopped few hours with Miss Nota
Abbott.
S. Z. Dixon, 'our ex-chille man
of Datto was in town Wednesday.
Mr.. Mayor, of the town of Rey-
no, what do you think Of calling
the business men together for the
purpose of organizing Board of
Trade? And Mr.. Plain Common
Business Man, don't you think it
would be moving in the right di-
rection to organize, Our town
needs harmoniously thought-out-
plan of action on all lines. Let's
work together for Reyno's future;
all for long, strong together pull.
Our sanitary committee issued
their circular the l4th calling for a
general cleanup of the city within
l5 days from said date. Our city
dads are going about their duties in
a business-lke manner, and from
the comments made by the citizens
we suspect that a harmonious long,
strong pull will be made to make
sure-enough clean up.
d. Blackburn was in town Tues
day having lot of plow fixtures
fitted up. Mr.. Blackburn is one of
our best farmers and business men.

Scotch blinking Less.

Edinburgh-The budget has already
had its effect in making the Scotch
a soberer nation. Official statistics
published here show that since the
higher duty was imposed on whisky
there has been reduction Of 1000 in
the number Of arrests for drunken
ness. In other Scottish cities there
has been a similar diminution in al
coholic crime, notably in Dundee
where last year there were 1864 ar
rests for drunkenness, compared with
1856 in 1908. These significant facts
seem to confirm the Scotchman's
reputation for careiessness in expendi-
ture.'

'QUEEN OF FAK|RS'
IN TROUBLE AGAIN
MRS. JOHNSON FACES
STILL ANOTHER CHARGE
Woman Well Known in This City
Wanted for Swindling Portland
Man Of $50 -Four Years Ago Still
IARguishes in Vancouver Jail.

According to the Portland Journal,
Mrs. Maud Baney, of Johnson or
Hazelton, or whatever her name is,
will have still another charge pend
ing against her when the Vancouver,
Washington, case is disposed OF. This
time she is wanted in Portland on the
charge of buncoing a man out of $50.
The following is tn Journal story:
Ayra Baney, Queen OF Women
Fakers" has been charged in the mu-
nicipal court with working a bunko
game four years ago on Adam Diller,
1880 East Salmon street, for $50. The
woman has gained considerable no.
toriety the past few years by bring
ing personal injury suits against street
railway companies, and by other
bunko games. She is now on trial at
Vancouver, Wash, for attempting to
get a sum of money from the railway
company there for an alleged injury.
Diller is a retired fruit grower, and
alleges the woman came to his home
May is, 1905, and wanted to borrow
S5e. She gave a mortgage on a horse
and buggy, COW and calf, and four
chicken incubators. She drove to his
home in a livery rig, which she rep
resented was her property. The two
went to her home at 1897 East Pine
street, where she showed hm the COW
and calf and incubators. and received
the money.
Just before the mortgage was due
Diller discovered that the mortgage
was no good, and began a search for
the woman. She could not be found,
but was later located in Washington
and was the plaintiff in personal in
jury suit against the Spokane street
railway company.
Mr Diller made the complaint this
morning to the district attorney and
a warrant was issued for her arrest
and she will be held in case the Van
couver case is dismissed. He says she
told him she wanted the money to pay
q physicians bill for a sick sister.
The woman has gone by several
names. but the most frequent one
used was Mrs. Johnson. Her method
Of operation was to get injured on a
street car, and bring suit 1t has
also been discovered that the COW and
calf which she mortgaged to Diller
was also mortgaged the previous day
to another man.

STEPMOTHER Will
CARE FOR HEIRESS
Miss Jennie Allen Fails to Sc
cure Custody OF, Mayis
Allen, Her Niece

A contest for the legal custody of
Mavis Kathryn Allen, young heiress
who viii eventually inherit about $50
600, was fought out with some asperity
before Judge Trout yesterday, the riv-
ais being Mrs. Louisa V. Allen, step
mother of the girl, and Miss Jennie AL
len, an aunt. Mavis is 10 years old. Her
father was Peri Z. Allen, lawyer, who
died last August.
Judge Trout refused to disturb an
order he had made September Is, when
letters Of adoption were granted to the
stepmother, Mrs. Louisa Allen.
Il don't care about this child's prop
erty, but 3FlOye her 8s I love my own
life exclaimed Mrs. Allen in court 'T
have reared her and I should be al
lowed to retain her custody"
Judge Trout questioned the little
girl, who IS very precocious. She said
she loved her stepmother, but that she
didn't like her aunt, and never did like
her. The judge wanted to know wheth-
but she positively denied that her step
mother or anybody else had told her
what to say.
Miss Jennie Allen based her appIica-
tion for revocation of the letters of
adoption granted to Mrs Louisa Allen
chiefly on the ground that the child's
dead mother, in her will. expressed the
desire that Mavis should be cared for
by the aunt. She. admitted to the court
that If she was given legal custody of
the. child she would take her to SwitZer-
land. When her brother, Peri Alien,
died Miss Jennie Allen was in Switzer-
land. She telegraphed to Attorney C.
L. Brown asking him to act for her in
any appncat ton for guardianship, and
Brown wrote her that nothing would
be done until she returned to CaIifor-
MIA Upon reaching San Francisco,
however, Miss Allen discovered that pa
pers of adoption had already been
granted to the child's stepmother.
Brown testified yesterday that he had
not misled or deceived his client. rs
Judge Trout said he did not feel
justified in disturbing his former order.

DRIED BANANAS ARE
SOLD IN GERMANY
Best Brand of Fruit Imported
From Jamaica 4.

Dried bananas and what are known
here as dried banana chips have been
offered for sale in Germany with in
creasing commercial success for more
than two years.
1t is impossible to obtain reliable
statistics, as the import figures are
included with those relating to fresh
bananas, both the dried and the fresh
fruit being free of duty. Importers
consulted state that they have been
able to sell without difficulty all the
bananas shipped to them, and that the
difficulty has been rather to obtain the
goods than to ind market
The consumers OF dried bananas and
banana. chips were originally vege.
tarians. who discovered attractive ways
of serving them. but there is now a
considerable demand for the dried fruit
in all Glasses of society and one sus-
ceptible of being extended materially
Thus far the best dried bananas have
been received from Jamaica, which
also seems to be the chief country of
expectation. The whole fruit is
shipped in wooden cases weighing rs
kilos, or 5s English pounds, and chips
are received In sacks. Importers are
paying %. marks (S5.95) per 100 Eng
lish pounds for goods delivered in Ham
burg, at which price a fairly rernu-
nerative business. can be carried on.
Any substantial increase in the whole

BURNETT TO LEAD
COMMISSION Fight
San Francisco Senator Cham
piOn of Measure for Public
Service Body

Senator Lester G. Burnett of San
Francisco is to lead the fight for the
enactment of the promised public serv-
ice commission measure The bin,
which is being prepared under the di-
rection and with the assistance of City
Attorney Percy V. Long, will be com
pleted this week and ready for intro
duction when the bill hopper is opened
at Sacramento.
There is some public misunderstand-
ing as to the provisions of the pro-
posed law and more as to their scope
Many persons are of the opinion that
the enactment of a public service COM
mission law will provide for commits
sion that will supersede the railroad
commission. That is incorrect The
railroad commission is constitutional
body and will not be affected by the
adoption of the public service commits
sion idea
The public service commission law
proposed for California will provide
for commission of three members
charged with the general supervision
of all those public service corpora
tions that do not come under the super
vision of the railroad commission and
which now virtually escape all but the
most perfunctory supervision.
Senator Burnett, who, it is under
stood, will have charge of the ad-
ministration bill in the upper house, is
a holdover completing his first term
He was the general secretary of the
Independent republican clubs move
ment in San Francisco in 1907, and in
the 1909 legislature he stirred up the
animals by his management of the
investigation of carrier charges, which
was cut short by the senate's refusal
to provide funds for its prosecution
and completion. AS an attorney he
has been prominently identified with
the prosecution of the car lot" rate

MILLIONS PRODUCED

chihuahua District Was Opened
Under Spanish Dominion

The richest and most important min

With the exception Of Morelos and
Guadalupe Calvo. discovered in 1880
and 1885, the mines Of Chihuahua were
known and worked successfully during
the Spanish dominion. despite the fact
that labor was very scarce and trans
portation and refining facilities so
crude and expensive that ore Welding

less. Of these old districts, Urique.
discovered in 1880. but now practically
abandoned, was famous for the rich
ness Of its silver and lead mines
Batopilas. discovered in 1892, is cred
ited with having produced more than
$50 O00, 600 before 1921. Cusihuiriachic.
discovered in 1866. returned up TO 1884
s22. 100000 worth of silver. Santa
Eulslia and Santa Barbara are also
two of the very old mining districts.
Shipments from the former (silver and
lead) prior TO 1903 are said to have ag-
gregated over $500, 600. 600. Santa Bar
bsra in 1907 produced S2,300,Ooo gold
and silver.
The later growth of the mining in
dustry in Chihuahua is shown in the
steadily increased output of the mines
and by the immense area covered by
mining claims. From the records of
the Casa de Moneda (mint), established
in the city of Chihuahua in 1911 and
maintained there until 1895, the eSti-
mated value of the mineral output
during those years is given as $29,-

Since 1908. when business was at it's
lowest ebb, the rise has been rapid and
sustained. The increased capital dur
ing the present year must be attributed
almost exclusively to extension of busi-
ness on the part of existing banks
rather than to the establishment of
new institutions. OF the S25, ,435, 900
