Sl,OOO,OOO Fortune IS
Mzde in Past 10 Years

NEW YORK, April 22.--According
to members OF the firm OF Harper a.
Brothers, Mark Twains publishers OF
late years, the noted humorist died A
very wealthy man, worth probably
81 100000 or more. even after he had
sacrificed one great fortune TO pay the
debts OF a failed publishing firm In
which he was financially interested.
"A rough estimate-and by no
means accurate-of the number oil
Mr.. Clemens books that have been
published In America alone would be
between 5000 000 and 100000" said
a member OF The Harper firm today
1t is no exaggeration TO say that even
at this late day the works Of Mark
Twain are selling more rapidly than
those of any other author, living o.
dead
Mr.. Clemens works have been
translated unto many tongues, ho~
many We do rot know. for he attend.

published his works in America. Other
firms did so In England and France,
and the other countries where they
were issued
Makes Long Lecture Tour.
Many years ago Mr.. Clemens
entered the publishing firm of f. I.
Webster In Hartford. This firm pub
lished several OF his books. but later
failed. and il was this failure which
caused Mr. Clemens TO travel about
the world on a lecturing tour which
was followed by the publication OF his
books "lnnocents Abroad" and Fol
lowing the Equator" He did not rest
until he had paid all the debts Of
that firm.
Then his books were published by
the American Publishing Co, OF Hart
ford but for the past 10 years Mr..
Clemens books have been published
by Harpers.
while we do not care TO say what
We paid Mr. Clemens for his numer-
Gus short stories. which we published
I'm our magazines. or what royalties
we paid him when the stories were
later put into book form. il has been
truly said that Mark Twain received
more per word for his stories and
higher royalties for them in book
form than any living author. Mr.
Clemens income was enormous OF late
years. A large sum Of ready money
was always at his command and 1t is
probable that such bosom friends as
II. H. Rogers assisted him in investing
that money wisely and safely

TEKONSliA, Mich, April 22.-Mrs.

rush out of her home with her cloth

but her wearing apparel had been
burned from her body.
There was no one else In the house
and IL Is not known just how Mrs.
Snow caught fire. but the finding OF
a burned match and the further fact
that her dress was saturated with
gasoline gave color TO the suicidal
theory, although no reason could be
given for Mrs. Snow taking her own

Laborers for Canal

Fifty or more laborers, with
names as long as an irrigation
shovel and as jagged as crosscut
saw, arrived Saturday to work on
the Canyon canal. They are all
foreigners. From their appearance
one would guess they were Greeks,
but George Knowles says they hail
from Austria, and as evidence,
marked Exhibit xxx, he offered
their names. There were Ole
Manfriday, Sour Biscuitavitz, A.

and his cousin by his wife's moth
er, Handirus. There are 40 9TH
er with similar appendages, but the

men were employed because it was
found impossible to secure suffici-
ent laborers to complete the work
in time for the irrigation season.

IMPROVE CEMETERY
Movement Among Local Lodges
to Undertake the Task.

A movement of importance was
inaugurated Tuesday evening
among the lodges of tie city, look
ing toward the orr auization of a
cemetery association that shall take
over the burial grounds and i'm
prove them. Representatives of
several OF the societies were pres
ent at the meeting. After a dis
cusslon of the matter. a resolution
was adopted asking each lodge in
the city to send two delegates to a
meeting to be held in Commercial
club rooms on the first Friday
evening in April. The object of
the meeting is to consider plans
to take over the burial ground
north of Town and take prelimi-
nary steps toward organizing a
corporation composed of as many
lodges as can be induced to join.
The Emmett cemetery has long
been disgrace to the community.
For many years its condition was
excusable because no water was OBJ
tainable to irrigate the land. That
excuse is no longer good, and ac-
tive steps should now be taken TO
make this sacred ground the most
beautiful in the entire country.
