SOMETIMES IT HAPPENS
STOCKS ARE VALUABLE

Aaron B. Donaldson, a former st.
Louis broker, who was serving a
three-year sentence in the Illinois
penitentiary at Chester. has been pa
rolled. 1t developed that certain al
legged worthless stock which he sold
has proved of value.
Donaldson was convicted of sell
ing worthless mining stock to Mrs.
Belle Ridgely and to her father,
Jas. Downs of Assumption, III. They
invested about $4,000 in the stock.
Mrs. Ridgely asked the Illinois board
of pardons to parole Donaldson be
cause the mining stock is now yield
ing a good return.
While Donaldson tried to prove in
court that his stocks were good, the
Judge and jury, who had all been
soaked in mining ventures, were not
very long in arriving at a verdict and
decision of what to do with the first
mining shark they had had an op-
portunity of getting even with.
Now, the stock which was supposed
to be worthless. has commenced to
nay rich dividends and the prospect
is good for large returns on the in
vestment. The application for the
pardon was endorsed by the judge
who tried the case. and the convict
was released from prison on PAROLE
CS.son News.

SECOND FEDERAL
JUDGE FOR NEVADA

Senator Key Pittman is confident
congress at this session will enact in
t. law his bill for new judicial dis
trict in Nevada, says Washington
SPECIAL to the Bee.
He believes the house and senate
will heed the same arguments that
were persuasive on his bill for an
additional public lands district. These
were that the state was so large
and many people were seriously incon-
venienced at having to travel so far
to Carson.
Would Create Other Offices.
If the bill for a separate judicial
district becomes law it will necessi-
tate the nomination of another Unit
ed States district judge and also of
another United States attorney, Unit
ed States marshal and other officials
of the court. Senator Pittman says,
however, that the saving to litigants
will be very large. At present juries
for the Federal Court are drawn
from about five counties, because of
the expense in getting jurors from a
distance.

METAL MEASURES
WORLDS WEALTH

The imperrishable wealth of the
world is based upon the metals com
ing from the mines, and values of all
kinds are measured by them; while
the civilization of any country is de-
termined, very largely by the volume
of its circulating medium, whose basis
of ultimate redemption is gold and
silver.
In any country where money is
plentiful, intellectual and financial
advancement speedily follow. Destroy
the circulation medium, which is in
variably based upon the metals, and
man retrogrades almost to a state of
savagry. When money is plentiful
mankind advances; when it becomes
scarce and practically unobtainable,
want and distress follow, and a nation
long derived of circulating medium
of physical as well as mental exist
ence.
There is no doubt but that at least
one-half of the civilized world knows
nothing of the true source of imper-
ishable wealth, while the major por-
tion of the other half takes it as a
matter of fact that such wealth
should exist without going to the
trouble of determining its origin, lit
tie thinking that it is founded upon
the output of metal mines in hundreds
of isolated localities, concerning
which they know but little, if any
thing.
Every year new wealth, practically
indestruetible, is being added to the
world IS circulating medium, and this
new wealth comes from the mines.
But, mention mining to the rank and
file of men in all walks of life and
they will, almost invariably, hold up
their hands in holy horror, for they
have always been led to believe that
mining is hazardous and illegitimate,
and that as an occupation it is only
followed by crooks, robbers and
thieves, and yet the average man is
only too glad to get and keep the very
gold and silver that is produced, ac-
cording to his way of thinking,
through the medium of an industry
the mention of which is tabooed in
good society.
And vet, Notwithstanding the as
pensions cast upon this industry, min
ing in the United States, during the
past twenty-five years, has eontribut-
ed forty billion dollars to the circu-
lating medium of the country.
1t is generally very difficult to con-
vince people that mining is legiti-
mate, profitable and respectable; that
it is no more risky than any other oc-
cupation or pursuit, and that, through
its means, civilization is being ad-
yaneed the world over, and for the
reason that it is through this avenue
that imperishable wealth is obtained.

6 sPROGRESSIVESo COMING BACK
INTO REPUBLICAN FOLD

Where does the Carson News get
that stuff about the "new Republi
cans' coming back to the fold. There
is no such thing as "new Republi-
cans The Republicans are all old
time believers in the precepts of the
party, and they are dyed in the wool
and not likely to be seduced from
their allegiance. California shows
what is going to happen in other
states where the defective Republi-
cans wandered away from the fold to
taste the flesh pots of novelty They
are coming back, as the registration
shows. Returns from the registration
agents in the various counties of Cal
ifornia show Republicans stand 1000
ahead of the combined strength of
Bull Moose and Democrats. Some saw
what asses they made of themselves
and came back, but some still think
they can swell up and be known as
Bull Moose-Bonanza.

WESTERN PACIFIC

Rapid progress in the development
of the Western Pacific has been noted
since f. L. Brown took charge of the
road, less than a year ago. Improve
ments that were needed and the lack
of which retarded progress from the
advent of the road, have been made.
The changes for the better have been
going on all along the line, says the
Herald Republican.
But the plans for this year are
much in excess of all that has been
done. An additional wharf will be
constructed at Oakland this year at a
cost of $1,OOO,O00. About $25O,O00
will be spent in widening fills and
cuts and in ballastino tracks. All the
tunnels in the Feather river canyon
will be lined with concrete during the
year at an approximate cost of $240,-
900. About $lsO,0O0 will be spent in
replacing wooden bridges with steel
and concrete structures.
Among the improvements that have
been made since Mr.. Bvown took
charge is the completion of the nine
mile loop between Arnold and Proctor
in Nevada, which eliminated the only
Rfdue III tAttSS VI OH6 per Ct0J De-
tween Salt Lake City and San Fran
cisco. This was done at cost of
1926, 900. New shops in Sacramento
have been completed. Two new fuel
oil stations have been established.
The renewals have cost the company
$175,000 These with other improve
ments in the last six months will total
in the neighborhood of $1,500,00
New traffic contracts have been
made with the Petaluma & Santa
Rosa railroad, the Central California
Traction company, the Northern Elec
tric railway, the Tidewater Southern
railway, the Oakland, Antioch & East
ern and the Eureka Palisade railway
In addition new switch connections
and agreements on interchange of
traffic have been made with the South
ern Pacific and the Atchison, Topeka
& Santa Fe railroads.
