case of the city engineer no action
could be taken owing to the fact that
the council had neglected by res
olution to set his salary for the en-
suing three months, but we believe
Engineer Johnson had turkey for
Thanksgiving just the same.

OF encouragement is the readiness of individuals to en-
gage IN the purchase of the loot Recently at Bendgo an
peas were taken from number of convictions for alleged gold
stealing In one Of these the appellate judge after
hearing the evidence declared that in the light of the
brought before him. there had been epidemic of gold steal
ing and receiving stolen gold at Bendigo There were
ases before him dealing with the crime Con
derng the in which the penalties had been increased
The buyers of stolen gold deserved little mercy the accused
the first decided having been shown to be deliberately
folding himself out purchaser of gold secured dishonest
~ The court considered the sentence too low and believed
should be increased whereupon all the other appeals were
withdrawn.
The suppression of theft in the gold industry whether
be in the stealing of bullion rich Ores must be dependent in
great measure public opinion especially as reflected in
the judgments of the and the disposition of legislators
and prosecutors Wherever there tendency to wink at
such forms of larceny the practice apt thrive whereas the
sturdy execution of justice would do to abate what often
proves to be serious injury the operation of gold proper

Some time ago it will be remembered the Spokane Min

hange Of heart and has passed another resolution which de-
lares in favor of retaining the tariff this metal Just
what is the of all complete change able to

lucers Of British Columbia owned in Spokane and with
caring what the results would be to other localities the
resolution passed unanimously. Since the Underwood

heir opinion the threatened reduction the Spokane Mining
hub has been brought to realization Of the bunder they
made and this most likely the for the passage of the
econd resolution Spokane has for many years thrown bo
ue at the business of its residents although
heard much of them outside of the Spokane circle
me thing is certain however, and that is if the proposed
educton carried out Spokane will have ample opportunity
observe just how wise and glorious it is they advo

THE WORLDS TELEPHONES

TT has been roughly estimated that, of the
ten million telephones in the world, seven
millions, or seventy per cent. of the whole
number, are in America, two million in
Europe, with the remainder scattered over
the earth's surface.
The reason why Europe presents so poor
a comparison in this respect with America is
said to be because four or five of the most
civilized and populous countries are extra
ordinarily backward in telephone develop
ment. France, Austria, Hungary, Belgium,
the Netherlands, and Italy, in the first four
of which the telephone is entirely in the
hands of the government, may be instanced.
In the whole of the French Republic, it is
estimated there are few more than two hun
dred thousand stations, and in Austria and
Hungary combined there are actually fewer
phones than in Chicago.
Ancient cities of universal renown, pros
porous and thriving places of from four hun
dred thousand to five hundred thousand in
habitants,-in many cases centers of great
Marseilles, Naples, Antwerp, and Prague,
are far behind American towns with fifty
thousand to one hundred thousand people,
such as Peoria, St. Joseph, Dayton, and
Norfolk, towns that Europeans in MANY
cases have never heard of; while Vienna,
with a population somewhere near two
millions, has not SO many stations as San
Francisco, with one-fourth that many in
habitants. If the countries of Central and
Western Europe were as well provided tele-
phon1cally as Great Britain and Germany,
to say nothing of Scandinavian countries,
the Old World phone statistics would COM
pare far more favorably with those of the
New.
