1t is evident from the wording of some
of these acts of many years ago that
our national law makers even at that
time saw the great opportunities in the
future for advanced and scientific farm

s. P. RAISED TO
S3l,500 PER mile

At the meeting of the state board
of assessors Thursday afternoon motion
was made by Lemarie, seconded by
Randall, that the valuation of the
Southern Pacific railroad be fixed at
$4,000 mile. Wethers moved to
amend, seconded by McInerney, that
the valuation be made $31 800. By a
vote of seven to eight the amendment
was carried. Ayes: Whitehead, Weth-
ers, Ingalls,, McInerney, Leonard, Nor
ris, Malley, Miles. Noes: Sitton, Ar
rid, Lemaire, Randall, Reagan, See-
man, Hayes.
Valuation of sidetracks was placed at
$4,000. Last years assessment of main
line was $4,000, which gives an in
crease of $4,000 this year.
The board decided to leave the valua-
tion of the Western Union to the asses
sors of the various counties. This is
in line with the policy pursued in re-
gard to other telegraph and telephone
companies. There was some talk of as
sessing the Western Union $40 wire
mile, but this was abandoned, and in
stead each assessor will fix his own
valuation.
The Pullman company was assessed
$3.50 a mile on the Southern Pacific and
Clark roads, and 800 mile on all 9TH
er roads upon which their cars are ope
rated.
Final action in regard to Wells Fargo
has not yet been taken. A motion was
made to fix the valuation at $500 a
mile

1t now transpires that the Bi-Metallic
Mining company, which fled its arti.
cles of incorporation with the county
clerk the first Of the week, is composed
principally of Chicago capitalists and
is one of the strongest mining corpora
tions on the coast. On the third of the
present month the company took over
the Ralnolia No. 1, located at Barrett
Springs, purchasing same from George
w. Hartley and associates. A 20-fOot
shaft had been sunk on this property,
on 14-inch vein, and assays gave
values of from $40 to 500.
Yesterday morning Superintendent
Barlow commenced work, with two
shifts, for the purpose of continuing
the shaft down to a depth of $50 feet.
At so feet whim will be employed to
hoist the ore and at $50 feet drifting
will be commenced. at this depth a

LOCK-STE ABOLISHED
WASHINGTON STATE PRISON

Declarig it utterly useless and
worthless, thing without good, G. 8.
Reed, warden of the state penitentiary
at Walla Walla, WASH, formerly con-
signed the prison lock-step to the
Oblivion from which it came. Since
the beginning the lock-step has been
the custom at the penitentiary. When
the prisoners came in to their meals
or marched out to them they did so in
lock-step. The lock-stcp, stripes and
other relics of more barmarous age
are thing of the past at Walla Walla.
The lock-step and the striped suits, -
continued Warden Reed, "have come
down to us from the past. Why or how
they originated is now of little inter
est. 1t suffices that whatever may have
been the reasons which actuated their
originotors, they do not hold good to-
day. The lock-step serves no purpose.
1t accomplishes no good. 1t is sense
less custom which has outlived its time.
The prisoners wear plain gray clothes,
with no distinguishing mark but the
prison number

INLAY BANDITS ON
PRELIMINARY TRIAL

The preliminary examination Of ].
Frank TRAINER and MIN X. Uric,
charged with the murder Of Jean
Quilici at INLAY week ago last night,
was begun in Judge Dunn's court this
morning. The State was represented
by District Attorney Callahan, M. s.
Bonnifield appeared for J. Frank
Tramner, w. s. Bonnifeld, Jr., for MIN
X. Uric, and J. Lozano acted as official
reporter.
Alesandro Lammori, a brother Of
Mrs. Quilici, was the first witness call.
cd, and gave his testimony with the
aid of an interpreter, Adolph Crotti,
being unable to speak English. He
testified substantially as follows:
Shortly before 10 o'clock on Fri
day night, the 9th instant, / left Mr..
and Mrs. Quilici sitting in the saloon
and carried the baby into my room
to put him to bed. While undressing
him, / heard three shots in the bar
room, after which some one command
ed hands up, in loud tone of voice.
i ran to the door Of my room and lock-
ed it. Heard some one walking
around, trying thedoors to my room
and that Of my sister, and afterwards
heard some one open the cash register.
Uric then came back to my room and
broke in the door, after which he
searched the bureau drawer and my
trunk. He then marched me out into
the saloon, where TRAINER commanded
me to throw up my hands and stood
guard over me, with gun, while Uric
went through the cash register. While
standing in that position 1 looked about
and saw both Mr. and Mrs. Quilici lying
on the floor.
'After Uric was through with the
cash register, they were joined by a
third man, who had been standing at
the front door, and all three men Left
thehouse by the back door. After they
were gone | picked up my sister and
took her to her bedroom and placed
her on the bed. She then told me that
the robbers had secured about $1,000" !"
After Lammori had concluded his
story, Judge Bonnifield stated there
would be no ross-examination.
There have been about 90 witnesses
summoned, and it is thought several
days will be occupied in the prelimi-
nary. 1t is stated that w. 8. Bonni-
field, Jr., attorney for Uric, will not
allow his client to take the stand and
repeat his confession.
Hearing Goes Over to Monday.
This afternoon John Robinson, w.
+. Kelly, A. Fronceschi, Pete Martini
and Sheriff Lamb were called to the
stand and all gave practically the same
testimony as at the coroner's inquest.
At $3.50 an adjournment was taken
until 10 o'clock Monday morning.

OVERLAND. LIMITED BAN
DTS STILL AT LARGE

There is still no development of an
important nature in connection with the
Overland Limited hold-up, despite in
Vulnerable rumors to the effect that the
robbers have been capturd, says an Og-
den dispatch.
1t was rumored again that the fright
men" had been apprhended during the
night and were placed in the pail at
Pennington until further investigation
could be made. Another report, which
was widely circulated, was that the
men were confined at the county jail
in Ogden.
These stories have all been found to
be groundless and, although the police
are hopeful that important arrests will
be made within the next twenty-four
hours, nothing tangible has been given
out for publication.
1t is thought to be almost certain
that the men are still in the vicinity
of Ogden or Salt Lake and are being
so closely watched that they dare not
leave the state. Scores of suspects are
being watched day and night by de-
tectives who await only a suspicious
move before pouncing upon them with
warrants.

MRS EDDY's WILL DE-
CLARED NULL AND VOID

The residuary clause in the will of
Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy, founder of
the Christian Science church, is null
and void, in the opinion of former
United States Senator William K.
Chandler, Hannis Taylor, professor of
constitutional and international law at
George Washington university, and 9th
ers.
The clause in question provides for
a gift Of 100000 to the First Church
of Christ, Scientist, of Boston, known
as the "Mother church."
A statute of New Hampshire, prohib-
iting a bequest to church of more
than $4,000 annually and one of Mas
sachusetts forbidding more than $4,000
annually are the basis of the opinion,
which was written by Professor Taylor,
formerly minister to Spain. Referring
to the residuary clause as "null and
void' the opinion says:
GAS to the void gift, the testatrix
died intestate and its subject matter
passed on her death to her next of kin,
under the New Hampshire statutes of
distribution.
In the closing paragraph the opinion
advises the attorneys for the next of
kin that such agreements and contracts
as they made with the testatrix and her
trustees in her lifetime, bind them
only "to recognize as valid such pro.
visions of her last will as are legally
valid"
"To that EXTENT continues the
opinion, "you are bound and required
to join with the executors in requesting
the probate court of New Hampshire to
admit such will to probate in solemn
form, in order that all its provisions
may prevail so far as they are not for
hidden by law.
"After you have so acted and per-
formed every part of the agreement you
have entered into, it will remain for
the courts Of equity, federal or state,
to construe the will in order to deter
mine whether the residuary clause is
valid or void"

new CAPTAIN
FOR STATE POLICE

]. P. Donnelly, of Goldfeld, was
Thursday morning appointed superin-
tendent of the state police. The new
superintendent was for fourteen years
member of the California National
Guard, in which body he was for six
years first lieutenant of the signal
corps, tenth battery, sixth brigade,
during the administration of Governor
Waterman. Following that he was for
eight years captain adjutant in the
same battery and brigade. There was
practically no contest for this appoint
ment, inasmuch as it was generally con-
ceded that Donnelly was the man who
would receive the appointment.
