The two measurs are identical.
The agriculture committees of
both houses have had the measures
before them during the past week,
saad have practically decided to re-
tport them favorably. Senator
Smit h and Congressman are CO.
operating to secure their passage.
Distinguished presidents of col
leges of agriculture, representatives
of industrial interests, and leaders
of farm organizations appeared be-
fore the committees and advocated
the bill. An endorsement, says Mr.
Carter, was also presented from the
National Grange and Farmers
Union. DR.. A. M. Soul, president Of

Advance in Silver Benefits Tonopah.

With every cent advanced Tor ms
price of silver the monthly output
of the mines of Tonopah increases
$4,000. according to rough estimate
as compiled by officials OF the Iono'

Nv approximate and are based on a
monthly output OF 100000 ounces
of the white metal.
The silver quotations as received
from New York the first OF this week
show the price of the metal at o5A
cents per ounce, an increase over the
price few days previous OF one-quar-
ter. This is the first time since OCT
II, 1907, that the price has mounted
to its present figure. On Nov H.
1906. the price touched the record
mark of 7134 cents and that quota.
ton has never been reached since. In
fact, it was the highest price paid tor
the metal in many years.
At the present rate of increase it IS
predicted that the old record will be
sent glimmering. Many claim the rise
will not halt until the IS mark s
reached-Tonopah Bonanza.

PAYDAY AT CANAL ZONE.
Over Million Dollars Paid Out Every
Month to Employees.

An account OF only one of the fea-
lures OF the Panama Canal will give
some idea of the immensely of the
work. Thirty eight thousand men are
employed. and each payday. once a
month and covering a space OF three
days, 81 100000 is distributed to the
workmen. The system OF paying OH
is simple and orderly, and so devised
that very little time is lost. The DIS
bursting office is at Empire and here
Edward ]. Williams, the chief dis
bursting officer of the Canal Commis-
sion. and his assistant, William Nj.
Wood. together with large corps OF
clerks and accountants, make out the
payroll for the army of workers.
Various systems of payment have
been tried but the one now IN use
seems to have worked out with the
least friction Every employe Is given
brass check containing number
which will identity him as long ds he
is in the employee OF the Canal Com
mission He is paid by the hour and
and his foreman keeps his time. ms
is forwarded to the disbursing Office
and his paw certificate made out from
this record 1t is authenticated by
the examiner of accounts and us
bursting officer and then returned 10
the foreman. who delivers it to the IN
dividua whose brass check number
corresponds with the number on the
certificate. The man is then told the
hour and day the pay-car will be IN
his vicinity, and he is expected to fall
in line and receive his wages.
Pay day occurs on the Eth, 18TH
and 18th of each month During the
early days of the work is was custom
airy to issue check on the United
States to employees for such amounts
as they required each month as an
accommodation in forwarding money
TO the United States. This, howevGf
was abolished when it was discovered
that some of the men were abusing
the DIlNlCSC ny 9NNhi ms ny Ni'NN'Nr
for the purpose OF selling them to
merchants and others to be used as
New York exchange, the checks beng
sent out of the country to be cashed.
By the present system, the white men
are known as the gold employees
and are paid in American gold coin
and the negroes as silver employees
being paid in Panama silver, equal
in value to gold. For a time the white
men were paid in United States paper
but ii was found that the merchants
and others shipped the bills out of the
country as fast as they came in
The merchants were thus saved from
paying bank exchange, and the eX-
penSe of furnishing this money fell
upon the Canal Commission This
finally led TO the payment OF the
gold employe" in gold coin.-Mrs
c. r. Miller, in Leslie's.

that it is a big factor in attracting

that fans who go to see baseball get
