JUDGE LAWLOR
INSISTS ON TRIAL
Denies Motion to Dismiss Cases
Against the Lawbreakers in
San Francisco.

The conduct of the bribery graft
cases in San Francisco brought about
another clash recently between Supe-
rior Judge Lawlor, who insists that the
trials proceed, and District Attorney
Charles Fickert, who has repeatedly
attempted to secure the dismissal of the
cases pending in Judge Lawlor IS court.
Fickert moved that the indictments
against Frank Drum, John Martin ana
Eugene De Saba, officials of the gas
company charged with brfbing super
visors during the Schmitz-R uef admin
istration to vote for higher rates, be
dismissed.
Lawlor promptly dismissed the mo-
ton.

Washington, Feb. 21.-Two hundred
million dollars of profit in clean, cold
cash is only one feature of the colossal
game of exploitation of Alaska placed
by the Guggenheim- Morgan syndicates,
according to testimony in the CLAWS
Ballinger administration investigation.
The audience before the committee
on territories of the senate Saturday
was fairly stunned when General Man
ager Birch of this syndicate revealed
the figures of values at stake in this
famous controversy.
At an earlier stage of the Cunning
ham Ba1linger affair il was vigorously
denied by Ballinger's friends that the
coal lands were Of any extraordinary
value.
In order, ostensibly, to clear their
skirts of innuendo and allegations of
improper connection with the exploita-
ton of the richest domain in the
United States, Morgan and Guggen-
helm came out into the open and so
far, instead of helping Ballinger, they
have helped only themselves and CLAWS.
For the mere sum of $250,0O0 Nor
gan and Guggenheim were, apparently,
putting themselves in line with the as
sistanee Of Cunningham for the ulti
mate clean up Of $500, 100000.
One Of the strangest of all the con
siderations is that experts like Cum
bingham did not know that they were
endeayoring 20 get lands which would
make Morgan and Guggenheim inn
monsely richer and that they were to
sell for a bagteller Is rights what would
make them as rich as Monte Cristo.
A statement as startling as Birch Is
mountainous pile Of figures Was that
the syndicate used no influence with
congress or anyone else 10 get posses

Ernest Johnston of near Santa Fe

Gle from which chewing gum is
manufactured. 1t comes from the
tree in the form of thick, milky
fluid which the natives boil down
to a powder. 1t is then bought by
Mr.. JohnsOn's company andexport-
ed to the United States, the only
country addicted to the chewing
gum habit. Mixed with glucose and
favored to suit, it is ready to use.
Mahogany is exported in the log.
Mr.. johnson buys it at s35 to SIS

culture is a big industry down
there he said to an Appeal man

but profitable, bringing the grow

the green ones, of course, are fit
for export. Ripe ones can be had
at most any price. | have bought

Iege. who had prepared the plans
and specifications, and who hal
made the estimates. was present
to advise the board. and upon his
advice they rejected all the bids
and decided to build one bridge
by day labor, under the super
vision Of the Highway engineer.
Mr. Gearhart' 3 estimate for the
four bridges was $11,OOs, while
the lowest bid submitted was for
S14.SOO. This saving to one
county alone will be nearly
S3.OO0-enough to pay the engi-

The Lure Of the Land.

Many people in the cities i'm
agine that they could do wondeTs
il they could get out in the coun-
try,on a farm and make the dirt
fly, says the Live Stock World.
They would soon find. however,
that running a farm entails much
work and that the battle with the
elements and the insects were not
always q success. The man in
the country thinks also that he
could make money faster and lot
easier il be were in the city. Both
are wrong and likely both would
fail if positions were iuterehanged,
because of the lack Of experience.
In most trades the first method
given is the sensible one. SO it is
in the case of farming for country
lads who do not inherit land, and
for men from the city whose wages
are less than three dollars a day.
In the case Of men whose city earn
ing capacity is greater than this,
working for wages on the farm is
likely to prove disappointing and
be given mp in disgust.
The solution, Ia the case of
young men, is the agricultural
college, a course in which will in
crease ones earning power in
agriculture to a point where it will
compare fayorably with city work.
For the man with a family one of
the latter methods must be considss
cred.
In the case Of a cOUutryman who
comes to town, the buying of bust
ness without having had previous
experience 10 related occupations
usually ends disastrousIy. The
city man going to the country fire.
quently thinks be can disprOve
this principle. Occasionally he
succeeds in doing so, but such
cases are often to be explained by
the fact that the city man keeps
summer boarders, finds a superior
market for his products, or in
some other way turns to good &C.
count his city training.
| In strictly farm work lack of ex-
Perienee is very real handicap,
and one that reading books, good
though that is, cannot overcome
City people usually expect too
much Of modern agriculture they
figure probable Yields by exception
al yields that cannot be accurately
anticipated. The result is that
expenses are Incurred upon a scale
that the incoming crops fail to
iustisy.
