Men go to Washington with all kinds of hope in the world and then are flattened out like I would crush a cockroach beneath my feet said Mir Gilman. They are expected to achieve great results alone.

ANOTHER STEP TAKEN
 IN I. M. M. LITIGATION
Brief in Opposition to Special Contract Bondholders' Motion for
 Rehearinu

Attorney F. A MLeod of New York yesterday filed a brief in United States court in one phase of the bankruptcy proceedings of the Tomb stone Mines and Milling company Some time ago the special contract bondholders filed a motion before Daniel MF'arland, of Tombstone ref cree in bankruptcy asking that their bonds be declared liabilities of the sOmpany and that they be given the same standing as other bonds. The referee denied the motion and mo- ton for rehearing was filed in United States court.
 The brief of Mir. MLeod is in op- position to the motion and it contains citations from numerous cases show ing that the claims of the special contract bondholders are not provable. A supplementary brief taking the same ground was filed by Ellinwo6d X Ross of Bisbee, representing other creditors. The applicants for the motion for a rehearing have ten days in which to
 file reply briefs.

MADE THEIR OWN
 SIGNS OF GOLD
4 Furious Hunt That Went On in
 the Superstition Mountains.

Charles Cox related yesterday this story of q hot and furious three days search for gold in the Super stitions He was accompanied in the quest by Cal Williams. No two prospectors in all the history of min ing had ever been lured by so many and increasing signs of gold It was visible everywhere on the rocks but a we'll defined ledge could not be To- catcd though the prospector5 knew that it must be somewhere in the vi cinity
 The signs were confusing and every morning there were more of them than there had seemed to be the day before Rocks on which tiny flakes of gold seemed to glitter all day about them, not in any special direction but everywhere. Some of the rocks were loose and some were in ledges put when the top had been broken off there were no signs of gold beneath the sur face.
 Thus the inquisitiOn for the mother lode went on day by day. On the night of the third day. the hunters were sitting by their camp fire eX- changing confidcnece that the moth CT lode could not clude them much longer. It must be somewhere in that vicinity and it was only a question of a very short time be- fore it would he uncovered. Williams began rising, when his feet slipped and the soles of his shoes scraped along the surface of

the rock on which he was standing. Immediately tkere were more marked signs of gold than had yet been dis covered. His shoe soles were rein forced by heavy brass hobnails and wherever he stepped with a gliding motion the brass adhered to the rock. When this discovery was made the hunt for the mother lode was aban- GCned

EFFICIENCY
 IN GOVERNMENT
It is Necessary to Ascertain Just What is Needed and Then Go About Getting 1t i'll a Busincss-Likc Way

In view of the early session of the legislature and also of the circum- stance that Phoenix will probably, be- fore long enter upon a new system of government, the following from the FOn dulac CWis,) Reporter will be of local interest:
 Adopt q budget and then observe it; have scientific management; have follow up system and see that you get results. These are some of the things urged to promote efficiency and economy in all affairs by Prof. S w. Gilman, of the University of WiscOn- sim in his address on Scientific Man agement" at the meeting of the Twi- light club held on Wednesday evening at the Bellevue.
 Prof. Gilman declared that no con- gressional committee had a budget He said that they may prepare one, but it is altered and altered to suit those who have most influence and finally becomes effective that way Every group has key man." said the speaker. Get to him and the rest is easy. It is evident that if all the items of government expenditures were published they would meet with a great protest. Supply this to the people, and they would put it over. but the people get on about eight years after the big interests have planted the thing in @the government that they desire. The people get en- thusiastic and then they lag. They don't have brilliant men constantly working for them, while the interests have men who are working all the time"

Churches Are Lax.

The speaker said that churches are more lax in their methods than any other institution. This waS due, he said to the lack of a budget. and scientific management. He said that the tendency was to shift the work onto some one else and that 1t was universal rule that no one would take responsibility if they could avoid it. He urged the adoption of follow up system and then the necessity of keep ing al it.
 Anyone can plan a system,' said Mir. Gilman. The great thing is to get it adopted and to prevent it from being hindered or sand thrown in the gear ing Get a budget, stick to it; have scientific management and see that you get results"
 "The speaker said that city officials must be backed up in their work. He declared that there should be some kind of a body strong enough to en- force public opinion and that such a body was needed to represent the community He declared that Scien- tific management was just as neceS- sary in public as in private affairs, ii the best results were to be obtained. While he said that technical training was to be desired, still the great per sonal gift of a charming and winning personality should be used to attach to everyone a host of powerful friends who would lend assistance in any cricic

Must Get Results.

According to the speaker budget is absolutely necessary to the success of any enterprise. He said a budget should be adopted and then observed to the letter Its use would save big sums in every business. However. in addition to a budget. he declared that scientific management must also pre- vail. Every effort, he declared. must be made to eliminate waste. Syste- matized methods must be adopted and once effective should be followed mp and care taken to see that the results were as they should be.

Madero Near Bankruptcy.

Los Angeles, Oct. Senator Will
liam Allen Smith of Michigan, chair
man of the senate committee probing
the Mexican situation, continues the
taking of evidence here today.
Testimony adduced yesterday
points to the near bankruptcy of the
Madero administration. Ridley Lu-
jan, Pascual Orozco's accredited
agent, threw light upon the financial
affairs of the administration.
AT the time Madero took charge
of the government, he said, there
was $67,000,O00 (Mexican money! in
the treasury"
Part of this 0,OOO,OOO, the COM
mittee established, was contributed
by two American corporations with
an eye on concessions in Mexico.
Lujan established that at the pres
ent time there is less than $4,000
600 in the hands of the Madero gov
ernment and at the present rate of
expenditure this will be exhausted in
nine months.

WHO is WILLIAM p. MEALE?
Said to BE Ashland Lawyer in Dam
age Suit.

Who is William P. Meale? The
Redding Searchlight gives him as
attorney in a recently filed damage
case against mining company. Nc
such name appears in either of the
two last city directories, and so far
as can be learned no such party re-
sides here. The following is the
item referred to:
IS. c. Logsdon, who was a brake
man on an ore train for the MAN.
moth Copper Company at it's plant
year ago, brought suit Tuesday
for 1000 damages, which he claims
as recompense for being permanent
ly injured and crippled when a car
on which he rode threw him off and
onto trestle.
"The complaint relates that the
accident occurred September Is,
1911, and that it was due to care
lessness and negligence on the part
of the company in operating its line
when not in fit and safe condi-
tion.
"Logsdon's attorney is William P.
Meale of Ashland, Ore. There are
several mine damage suits now wait
ing trial"

BIRDS OF HELP TO FARMER.
As Consumers of Squirrels and Mice
They Are of Value.


Probably no class of birds has
been more often misjudged or misun-
derstood than the birds of prey. In
fact the time is not long past when
the name hawk or owl was enough
TO convict any bird. In these days.
however we are beginning to realize
that with few exceptions, they are
among the most valuable, if not the
most valuable birds that wage war
against the foes of the agriculturist.
While the smaller birds destroy the
insect foes of the farmer, the hawks
and owls help to hold in check the
small animal life, which, when un-
controlled, works such havoc in the
crops
II has been estimated that every
hawk and owl, in the course of a
year, kills at least a thousand mice
or their equivalent in insects. If
each mouse or its equivalent in in
sects caused the farmer a loss of
only two cents per annum, this would
make each hawk and owl worth at
least twenty dollars a year to the
farmer.
For convenience he may divide the
birds of prey into the general classes,
those almost wholly harmful, and
those almost wholly beneficial
In the first class, among the hawks,
are the Coopers, sharp-shinned and
duck hawks. The Coopers and
sharp-shinned are very similar in APP
pearance, the sharp-shinned being
simply a smaller edition" of its
larger cousin. These are the two
species commonly known as "hen and
chicken hawks" being especially de-
structiye in the poultry yard.
Aside from the direct loss which
they cause the farmer in this way,
they also add to his loss by killing
great numbers of the useful insect
and seed eating birds. The de-
crease of certain game birds, in some
localities, can also be laid at the door
of these desperadoes in feathers. "
The duck hawk, being found chiefly
about large bodies of water, con-
fines its depredations almost entirely
to waterfowl, so it is of little interest
to the farmer.
One practical farmer has suggest
ed that shelters which will enable
chickens to escape from hawks can
be easily made by putting forked
sticks in the ground and over all a
layer of brush, foot or IS inches
from the ground.
Among the most common of the
beneficial hawks may be placed the
marsh hawk, the western red-tailed
hawk and the sparrow hawk. While
these birds may occasionally invade
the poultry yard or destroy birds, the
harm done in this way is very little
compared with the good which they
do in the destruction of injurious ro.
dents and insects.

sAGEs CAN EXPLAIN OREGON.
Professor Believes Voters Ought to
Read ZOla, Shaw and Wells.

University of Oregon, Eugene
To throw the light of genius so
far as possible upon the problems of
Oregon is the purpose of a new
course in Socially Significant Liter
ature of Today" just formulated and
offered by the correspondence school
of the University of Oregon.
Now that the whole body of Ore
gon citizens is called upon to legis-
late on all manner of questions, the
university is trying to carry the re-
suits of the widest experience of
other countries straight to the vot-
ers. The reading course includes
twelve great interpreters of social
problems: Henrik Ibsen, Count Toll
stoy, Maxim Gorky, Andreiev, Zola,
Maeterlinck, Bernard Shaw, Arnold
Bennett, G.. K. Chesterton, Galswor-
thy, William Morris and H. G. Wells.
The course does not try to appraise
these men as artists. Instead, Pro-
fessor H. G. Howe has so prepared
his full directions for study as to
guide the reader straight to the value
for Oregon citizenship in each book.
Things appear in Europe before
they do here" says Professor Howe.
Oregon can find all the economic
and social problems they are going
to face in the next ten years helpfully
analyzed and often solved in the
works of men like Ibseh and Zola,
to whom they are old stories.
The university will furnish guild
ance and mail instruction, and Pro-
fessor Howe will visit any citizenship
study clubs formed two or three
times during the year to give lee
lures and hold conferences on the
work.
