MouNTA1NEER,s SAVINGS.

Mostly in Gold, and Some of It Had
 Been Buried for Fifty Years.
 The First National Bank of Logan w. Va, has received a deposit to-day which has an interesting story behind it, the Roanoke correspondent of the Baltimore Sun says. The amount is S6,020. of which S5,000 is in gold coin some of which is fifty years old Twen. ty dollars is in silver and there are fifty S2O bills. The money had been accumulated by Milton Mullens and represents the savings of a lifetime.
 Mullens began hoarding his savings when a young man. This was before the civil war. All his surplus he con verted into gold. which he buried in the yard. A few years ago, when gold coin was scarce and almost out of cir culation, Mullens began to exchange his smaller money for S2O bills.
 These were hidden in a safe place in his barn. It was believed for many years that he was hoarding his money and on numerous occasions marauders have endeavored to force him to re veal it's hiding place, but without sue cess.
 A few days ago his wife died and believing that he would not live long he called his grandson. J. M Perry, and told him where to search for the treasure. The young man, after dig ging for some time, found the treas ure. and this snug little fortune went into the bank to the credit of the now aged and inf1rm mountaineer.

DEATH TAKES US BY SURPRISE.

Death takes us by surprise,
 And stays our hurrying feet; The great design unfinished lies.
 Our lives are incomplete But in the dark unknown
 Perfect their circles seem. Even as a bridges arch of stone
 Is rounded in the stream. Alike are life and death,
 When life in death survives. And the uninterrupted breath
 Inspires a thousand lives. Were a star quenched on high For ages would Its light Still travelling downward from the sky.
 Shine on our mortal sight So when a great man dies.
 For years beyond our ken. The light he leaves behind him lies
 Upon the paths of men. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.

Feeding siIaEe.

Quite a number of practical feeders have adopted the silage method. One man in particular having a large stock farm in Ohio puts up annually be- tween 2,500 and 5000 tons of corn and cowpea silage. which he feeds to his beef cattle. A 1.000-pound steer will usually consume about 50 pounds of silage per day. When fed a ration of this kind. some nitrogenous food should be added. such as oil meal. cot tonseed meal or other concentrated products found on the market The feeder from Ohio referred to feeds on an average about 3 pounds of cotton seed meal per day to his steers and about pounds of clover hay. in addi- ton to the 50 pounds of silage. For beef cattle 1t is usually considered ad- visable to allow the crop to mature before cutting. and also to plant it the same as one plants for grain produc- tion. The cattle feeder is not partic- ularly anxious to obtain a large amount of forage. but he is more anx- ious to get as much corn as possible. A crop of corn that will produce about 50 bushels per acre will make from eight to nine tons of silage planted in the usual way and harvested when mature. It is stated by feeders who are using silage. and similar reports have come from stations. that cattle fed on this produce SCOUT less than when fed on corn and dry roughage.

COUNTY TO IMPROVE
LOS FELlz ROADWAY
Supervisors Abandon Usual Contract
in Order to Have Construction Be-
gun Before East Hollywood
Annexation Election, Feb. II

In order that work may be begun
on the Los Feliz road before February
IL, the date set for the annexation
election of East Hollywood and Ivan
hoe, the board of supervisors yester-
day decided to place the Improvement
of this roadway in the hands Of the
highway commission.
The lowest bid for the work was
$4,000, which was $1,000 more than
the estimate fixed by Chief Engineer
Loder of the com mission. This bid
was rejected, but the lack of time in
which to readvertise before the an
nexation election called for the i'm
mediate beginning of work and pro-
hibited awarding q contract in the
usual manner.
The road to be improved runs from
Vermont avenue at its north end to
the San Fernando road at Tropico and
is 1867 feet long.
The supervisors accepted the bid of
T. F. Prendergast of $30,657 for the
Improvement of Slauson, Florence and
Compton avenues, which will become
the most direct improved highway to
Long Beach.
Specifications for grading Hunting
ton drive from Bairdstown to the city
limits of Alhambra were approved and
bids will be advertised for the work.
This will be a new stretch of road
way, running along the Pacific Elec-
tries Pasadena short line.

VALUE SET IS TOO
LOW, SAY OWNERS
SOUTH PARK PETITIONS ARE
NOT POPULAR
COUNCIL RECEIVES REPORT IN
CONDEMNATION MOVE
Only Per Cent of Frontage In Pro-
posed Assessment District Is
Represented on Papers
Circulated

Petitions asking the condemnation of
land for South Park which were filed
with the council last May and July
bear the signatures of the owners OF
only per cent of the frontage in the
proposed assessment district. This re-
port will be made to the council by
City Engineer Homer Hamlin today.
Last May a petition was filed with
the council asking that the strip of
land on the north side of South Park,
which is cut up into lots and some of
them improved with a good class of
residences, be condemned and the prop
erty added to South park, SO the park
would have q frontage on Forty-ninth
street The following July another pc
tition supplementary to the first was
filed.
No report was made on these petit
tions, as the council was in no hurry
to hear them, and in September the
council passed a resolution outlining
the policy that no petition for the con-
demnation of park property would De
considered that did not bear the sigma
lures of at least % per cent of the
property owners in the district pro-
posed to be assessed.
The assessment district outlined con-
tains SOC, 900 feet, while the frontage on
the petitions represented only $1,000
feet.
It is likely this matter will come up
before the new council, as several OF
those responsible for the first petitions
have not lost confidence in the project.
But the private property owners whose
houses front on South park and who
will be dispossessed Of their property
If condemnation proceedings are car
ried to a conclusion contend that the
strip in question is worth more than
500. 900 and that when the property is
secured only four acres will be added
to the park. They hold that estimates
of $4,000 as the outside cost of land
and improvements which has been
made by people interested in the con-
demnation is not half the value of the
property. They allege that two-thirds
of lot No. 1 was sold six months ago
for $4,000 and the other third for
$4,000. The entire lot was $50 by 127
feet. Twenty-Five lots in the tract, they
allege, are worth $4,000 each without
improvements. The tract they esti
mate to be worth 5000 for the land
and 100000 for the improvements.

PERMITS AWAIT
FIXING OF POLICY
COUNCIL TO DECIDE AS to-
DOUBLE LICENSES
Before Further Action Is Taken an
Opportunity viii Be Given
to Pass Liquor Or
dinance

To give the city council an oppor-
tunity to pass an ordinance estab-
fishing policy for what are termed
double licenses" the police commits
sion last night delayed the case of
the Rainier saloon and cafe, 1877 South
Broadway, for two weeks. By that
time it is expected the council will
have taken action on several liquor
matters and then the commission will
know what to say to A. ]. Barnes,
proprietor of the Rainier, and whether
he shall be granted permits for these
places.
There is a disposition on the part
of the commission to deal as leniently
as possible with the Rainier, for
Barnes was the first saloon man to
accept the invitation of the police
commission to deal squarely by it and
in return receive square treatment.
When John Topham first started his
war against the brewery domination
of the retail liquor business, MIR.
Barnes went to the commissioners and
confessed that his place was controlled
by. the Seattle Brewing and Mailing
company, or the Rainier brewery, as
1t is called. He declared the permits
for the saloon and the restaurant liquor
privileges in the cafe were held in the
lIolIlC VI IL EOlllliilCllJ lONetl eleoCAlt
for the Rainier brewery. He applied
for permits for these places to be
granted in his own name and Mr.. SIM
men signed the revocation for these
permits.
Attorney Howard Fish, representing
Mr.. Barnes, told the commission last
night that when Mr.. Barnes first pur-
chased the place he borrowed $4,000
of the Rainier brewery and the brew
cry took a chattel mortgage on the
stock and fixtures and had the Ii
censes issued in the name of its agent
as security for the debt.
Because of his 'promptness in laying
the facts before the commission Mr..
Barnes would probably have received
his permits last night had it not been
for the fact that there is a door be-
tween the saloon and the restaurant
and the commission has established a
rule that two liquor permits cannot
be held on the same premises when
they are connected.
1t is expected the council will pass
an ordinance on this subject, and
meantime the Rainier will continue
in the old way.

CRACKSMEN BLOW
POSTOFFICE SAFE
Alhambra Burglars Secure 1926 Worth
of Stamps and Escape With
out Leaving Any
Clues

Burglars blew open the safe in the
postoffice at Alhambra about 2 o'clocl
yesterday morning and stole 1926 worth
of postage stamps. Report of the rob
berry was sent to the sheriff's office
four hours later and Deputies Wright
and Mathewson were sent to Alham-
bra, returning later in the day to re-
port that no clue to the robbers could
be found.
The robbers used nitro glycerine
blowing open the outer door of the
safe and shattering the front window
of the postofice. The noise of the
explosion was heard from some dis
tance. A baker in Jordan's bakery
across the street fired a shot at three
men he saw leaving the office, but
without effect. He could give no de-
scription of the men.
The quantity of explosive used leads
the officers to believe that the robbery
was the work of amateurs, and it is
thought they belong to a gang OF
yeggmen who have been robbing in a
number of small towns around Los
Angeles during the past month.

Hostile to Constitution

'GThe right of the telegraph company
to continue the transaction of local
business in Kansas could not be made
to depend upon it's submission to con-
dition prescribed by that state, which
was hostile both to the letter and spirit
of the constitution.
1.-THE company was not bound under
any circumstances to surrender its con-
stitutional exemption from state taxa
ton, direct or indirect, in respect of its
interstate business and its property
outside of the state, any more than it
would have been bound to surrender
any other right secured by the consti-
tuition"
In the dissenting opinion Justice
Holmes declared the state had not un-
dertaken to tax the Western Union, but
simply had fixed the condition on which
the company could transact state busi-
ness within the state.
"The matter is left in the companies
hands," he said. "If the license fee is
more than the local business can bear,
it can stop that business and avoid the
fee"
Justice White concurred in the find
ing of the majority, but for different
reasons, and read an opinion outlining
his views.

CORPORATIONS
ESCAPE TAXES
KANSAS STATE LAW HELD TO
BE INVALID
OUTSIDE COMBINES NEED NOT
PAY CHARTER FEES
Bush Act, Which CompeIs Companies
Incorporated in other States to
Help Support Schools, De-
cIared Unconstitutional
Associated Press1

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE Bush
act of the state of Kansas, which
sought to compel outside corporations
to pay a charter fee for the benefit of
state schools as a condition of doing
business in that state, is held invalid by
the supreme court of the United States
in a divided decision announced today.
Justice Harlan and Justice White
signed the controlling opinion, but Chief
Justice Fuller and Associate Justices
Holmes and McKenna dissented.
The case was that of the Western
Union Telegraph company against the
state of Kansas. The Western Union
has fought the law on the ground of
acquired rights, and unconstitutional as
seeking to impose burden upon inter-
state commerce.
Interpreting his opinion Justice Har
Ian said it was held "that the statutory
requirement of given per cent of the
authorized capital of a telegraph COM
nany. which represented all its busi-
ness interests and property inside and
out of the state, was in it's practical
operation a burden on interstate COM
merce and a tax on property beyond the
limits of Kansas"
Final Conclusions
The opinion closed as follows: "It re-
suits that a decree of custer, such as
the state asks, could not be granted
without recognizing the validity of CIV
ing effect to the unconstitutional re-
ouirement that the telegraph company
as a condition of it's being allowed to
do intrastate business in Kansas should
paw into the state school fund given
per cent of its capital in the form of a
fee based on all it's property, business
and interests everywhere, including
both its interstate and intrastate busi-
