MONTPELIER. Oct. l.. - Al yes
terday session of the public service
hearing w. 4. Graham continued his
cross examination OF NiceP President

company, directing il mt first to the
relations of the Champaign Valley com

The details OF t o different stock is

pcared that there was Il total Of -.
$50 OF preferred stock and @l6.17o OF
common stock outstanding. OF this
amount the New England company
owns S37 600 OF the preferred and sill
80 OF the common.
1t appears that the Peoples com
pany was owned and operated hv T. II.
Chandler and associates, and that he
expected to enlarge that company by
selling stock locally. Finding ii ditii-
cult or impossible to do this he con
soIdated with the Champaign Valley
and is now the general manager 81 the

Mr.. Graham asked whether the rca-
son for the existence of these subSi-
diary companies WAS not to battle
with competitions Mr. Hall reuIicd
that the competition was practically
all over when these companies were
consolidated.
I Previously each side had fought n

they couldn I do business on losing

the New England company.
Mr.. Graham inquired as 10 the free
service furnished the state. and Mr..
Hall read list Of 4 dozen telephones
furnished in various Offices without
charge and also said that during the
legislature, toll service, for which no
charge WAS made, was furnished 10
state officials and members OF the
Legislature.
This practice has been a custom for

Commissioner Pollard said that this

that il was not-that this free scrt icC

GOOD REPORTS COMING IN
 FROM NEW INNOKO DIGGINGS

The returns are the more surpris- ing when it is considered that very little digging has been done; most of the time being occupied in building cabins and packing supplies.
 Cripple City is quite a town. Cox < Hagen have built a fine hotel and Erickson's log building is finer than anything of it's kind in Iditarod. Miss Peterson is also building lodging house. In addition there are stores and many cabins going up.
 Gray & Edwards still nave a little stock. but are out of some things. Max Simel has a fine stock at Diskaket, and as his prices are very reasonable, he should do a big business this win ter. Mir. Simel says he will build a store at Cripple and ship in a big stock in the spring. At present flour is $l1 per 100, bacon 40 cents, pota- toes IA cents and dog salmon 20 cents.
 The writer of the letter says that Colorado creek has the appearance of carrying a paystreak, and the country around seems to abound in porphyry dikes From other sources it is learned that several boilers will be taken in over the ice from Ophir.

.FIREMEN'S DANCE
 A BIG SUCCESS

The Sixth Annual Ball of the Juneau fire department at Elks' hall last night, called a very large attendance. It was a benefit ball and the fire laddies are well satisfied with the results obtained
 Socially it was one of the most en- joyable affairs this season. The floor was in excellent condition and six piece orchestra furnished music that was all that could be desired.
 There was not a dull moment from the beginning until the last waltz was played at one o'clock this morning.
 There were quite a number over from Douglas and Treadwell and a special ferry took those home who cared to dance the entire programs. Among the Island people the following were noticed: Mir. and Mrs. L. Multi gan, Mir. and Mrs. Dahl, Mir. and Mrs. Coughlin, Mir. and Mrs. Bennett, MT. and Mrs Price, Mir. and Mrs. Wilson, and Miss Mae Mccormick.
 No. Fire Company, of Treadwell, was represented by a contingent wear, ing red shirt-uniforms which lent a bit of picturesque collor to the ball room. The Treadwell fremen in at tendance were Chief John Wilson Captain Ed Mccormick of No. 4, and the following men from No. No. 4 Co.,: 1 C. E. Bennett, H. Vandewier, D. Darn edy. Richard Price. Bert Graham, A | |Lagergreen, William Frank, John Kar kes, and H. Manners.
 Chief Ed. Hurlbut, of the Junear department, was present and aided by several members of the local organ ization endeavored to see that every one was having good time.

Writing to John Strelic from Grip pie City. nuoko, J. w. Atkinson speaks hopefully of the future of the camp, says the Iditarod Pioneer While details are meager, it seems that pay has been located on at least three creeks-Colorado. Cripple and Fox gulch.
 Sutherland * BacksUom, who have a lay and option on discovery, Fox gulch. have good pay. They will move a big plant on to the ground, hauling it from Ophir as soon as the trails permit. On discovery Cripple, where Charley Hall and Big Murphy have a lay. good pay is reported at a point 500 yards below Fox gulch. Planning tndiscriminately from a 7.foot face. the Iaymeu got 42 cents from eight pans. and since then claim to have even got better returns On Col orado creek. Fred Anderson claims to have pay running from 9 cents to 9 cents to the pan. and some pans as high as five cents. These pans were taken from the cut bank. Lower down the ceerk on the Dikeman assiciation, Jensen X Mcdonald claim similar re- turns. These laymen have the only hole to bedrock. on the creek.

FIRST NATIONALS
 GREAT SHOWING

National Bank Examiner J. l.. Proc tor began examining the First Nation al bank of Juneau on Feb. 9, and has just finished his labors. Every item of resources. cash or notes, was gone over and checked as to value and ne probability.
 The interval between this examina- tion and that of Bank Examiner J. Goodheart's in July, 1911. has been time of remarkable progress.
 Deposits have increased from $171,- 900 in 1911. to $349,OOO in February, 1913 The profits of the institution rose from nothing to SS1,OOO which amount has been added to the capital making a fund of $S1 1000, which is held as security for any contingency.
 It is doubtful if many banks serving a city the size of Juneau can make a showing equal to that just reported for the First National bank of Ju' peau. a fact of which the people of this city should be justly proud.
 The directors of the bank during this period have been: F. W. Brad. lev John Reck. Geo. Miller, T. F. Ken. nedv P H. Fox. E. p. Kennedy, M J. O'Connor and A. A. Gabbs.

RECORD SYSTEM
 FOR LEGISLATURE

J. B. Marshall, of the firm of Gunni- son and Marshall, returned on the Northwestern this morning from a brief visit to Sound cities. While be- low Mir. Marshall went to Olympia for the purpose of learning what he could of the methods in use by the Washing ton Legislature in keeping the detail record of bills introduced in either house from time of their introduction until their final disposal.
 Mir. Marshall was given a very hearty welcome by the various State officers there and was furnished with complete copies of the various forms and records used by them in keeping track of their work,
 On account of the membership of the Alaska legislature being small Mir Marshall thinks the methods may be simplihed in some instances but the records that they keep and the forms they have devised are the result or long experience and it is his belief that Alaska Legislature can proftably adopt some of their methods
 Mir. Marshall says that he feels chiefly indebted for the information given him to Mir. Loren Grinstead, an attorney of Seattle, and formerly sec retary of the house of representatives of Washington, but there is no foun- dation for the statement appearing in the press to the effect that Mir. Grin stead had been engaged by him to in troduce a system of keeping records for the Alaska legislature.

MEXICO CITY, Feb. 13.-The bat tie between the followers of General Felix Diaz and the adherents of Pres ident Madero in the streets of this city. was rsumed at o'clock this morning at closer range than in the battle of yesterday, Many dead bod ies are in the streets.
 Mrs. w. II. Holmes and Mrs. Percy GriRiths, both Americans, were killed by shells which struck their homes.
 At ten o'clock today Gen. Diaz trained heavy artillery upon the pal ace. A shell landed in the library of the American Club, exploding and wrecking the room. Fortunately no one was killed.
 The rules of warfare are being grossly violated.
 The streets are choked with dead and horrible sights are seen wherever battles have ragged. Robbery is com mon both of the living and the dead, and to this rowing bands of cut, throats are adding murder of non.com- batants.
 The president of the Red Cross So. clety and several of it's officials have been carrying ammunition in ambu- lances. There have been several eX- cautions.
 It is estimated that 100000 persons have fled the city since last Sunday

came into control of the situation. The conservatives plan on carrying out the old Diaz regime under an osten- sibly different system. The elder Diaz will return and be on the board of advisors should the second revolu- tion establish stable government The younger Diaz is a hot-headed youth capable of keeping the country in an unstable state. The Socialists will continue in their restlessness. The Madero government is assuredly ended and Mexico will be in a state of chaos.
 The final scene in the drama must be the entry of the United States in to Mexico. There is no other solu- tion.
 Mexico would gain much by such a move. but the burden to the United States would be great
 This in brief is the opinion of Dr. Ruffo. who has ben on the scene and in the thick of all the momentous events for the past three years.
 In regard to his trip here the Doc tor stated very frankly that it was his hone to establish himself here if Jul peau would be so good as to have him. He had made friends in Seattle and tbev had all advised him to come. 1t was his idea that owing to his com mand of European languages that he would be enabled to build up prac- tice among the foreign element of the the population here.

Dr. Juan Butista Rurfo. Marquis of scilla. and recently of Magdalena, Sc nora. Mexico. arrived from Seattle on the Northwestern last night Dr. Ruff ro is an Italian physician, who was chief surgeon for three years in the Madero army. Dr. Ru0o was fel- low student with pr Campo. in a Paris medical college. Both of them after ward came to Mexico and became in volved in the strife that has wrought such havoc. Dr. RuGos family were all killed and their property destroyed in the Messna earthquake.
 He came to America and joined the Madero revolutionary forces. The second revolution. the Doctor says, was started by the Socialists at the head Of whom was his old friend and fellow student Dr. Campo. He per suaded Campo of the futlity of his efforts and the latter is now settled in St. Louis. Dr. Campo is very wealthy.
 Dr. RuTo says that Madero is fine character and that his plans were beau tiful but that the people do not under stand him and have not given him an opportunity to make good. The elder Diaz. while apparently retired and away from the country has not been absent so far as his power is con cerned. The conservative party had not given up and when the Socialist started the second revolution against the Progressive Madero the Diaz party

A FIGHT BEING WAGED
 ON FISHER AND ADAMS

The Portland Oregonian's Washing ton correspondent, writes under date of Feb. 6:
 Vigorous protests to Woodrow Will son against the appointment of Wal ter l.. Fisher, or Samuel Adams, of Chicago, as Secretary of the Interior in his Cabinet continue to pile up in President.elect Wilson's mail. Wheth- CT or not Mr. Wilson has the present Secretary or his assistant under ser ious consideration nobody seems to konw, but the persistence with which some of the Eastern papers insist that Fisher or Adams will be chosen for Secretary of the Interior has caused much concern among those Senators who are desirous that the next Ad. ministration shall make fresh start on the conservation question.
 While Senators who are protesting against the appointment of either Fisher or Adams assert that they be- lieve neither of these men will be ap- pointed, they seem to have no posi- tive assurance to that effect, as evi' denced by the fact that they are threatening to oppose the confrma- tion of either man if appointed to the Wilson Cabinet. The talk now cur rent in Senate cloakrooms indicates that a merry fight will be started in executive session of the next Senate if either Fisher or Adams should be nominated in face of the fact that the Senate almost invariably confirms the
The Alaska daily empire., 1913-02-13

Cabinet appointments of President without criticism.
 Western Senators regardless of party, however, are hostile both to Fisher and to Adams, and Republicans and Democrats alike will join hands in fighting the nomination of either. It is no secret around the Capitol that Western Senators, almost to man, have had enough of Fisher, and they are even more displeased with Adams than with Fisher Much of Fishers unpopuIarity is attributed to the arbi. trary methods of Adams. who has han. dled the bulk of public land questions since Mir Fisher became Secretary
 "The great objection, both 10 Fisher and to Adams, is that neither has a comprehensive understanding Of West ern problems. Adams in particular has little more than a pullmon.car acquaintance with the great West. Secretary Fisher has made several trips through the West since he be- came Secretary, but Adams has re- maiucd steadily at his desk in Wash ington and has no desire to absorb either the Western atmosphere or the Western viewpoint He is quit con tent with his own viewpoint, which is decidedly different from that which prevails to the West. In brief, Ad. ans is typical beaureaucrat devel. oped unmindml of Western disapprov- al of his action and Congressional dis approval as well as though the West had no right to criticise or condemn"

 Colonel Roosevelt spoke of the Pro gressive movement and what the par ty had accomplished since it's formal organization last August, and he de- clared in the fight for progressive principles and policies there must be neither compromise nor yielding on the part of Progressives. The line of

SEATTLE DAILY TIMES
 DESTROYED BY FIRE

SEATTLE, Feb. 13. - Fire, which broke out in the building occupied by the Seattle Daily Times, at the corner of Second and Union streets, practi- cally destroyed the plant of that news. paper, with the exception of the press es in the basement of the building.
 The building was a four-story brick structure, with basement, and was owned by the estate of the late A. A. Denny. No estimate of the dam- age has yet been made.
