HUNGER SCATTERS
 UNEMPLOYED ARMY
 OF SACRAMENTO
Food Supply Officially Shut Off and Men Scatter Through Rural
 Districts

Sacramento. Cal, March 11.="Gen- eral Kelley's army temporarily de- tained on It's march toward Washing ton, went to bed supperless tonight in the shaelSs that form it's camp in Yolo officially shut off the food supply which had been contributed by the county but issued an order forbidding any person conveying supplies across the bridge beyond which the industrial workers are camped.
 This move was ordered by the city and county authorities yesterday in the belief that it would cause disintegra- tion of the army. But someone dis obeyed and twice a day food in large quantities was sent to the camp. It was explained today when the source of the army's supply was discovered that the order for single meal given by citizens committee, had been un- derstood to mean supply until further notice"
 The result of shutting off food be- came apparent immediately. Men be- gan leaving the camp singly and in groups. By night the army, which had numbered 1500 Monday and dwindled to 1000 yesterday, further had been re- duced to about 600 men. Leaders were finding it difficult to hold these In hand.
 Overrun by Hungry Men
 The rural districts of Yolo county are now oyerrun by hundreds of homes grv men, who appear at orchard homes and enforce with threats their de- mands for food. Perhaps half the male population of the county tonight were guarding homes and property,
 While the shutting off of food Is In a measure solving the problem the situation with regard to the several hundred irreconcilables bent on march ing on the national capital regardless of all obstacles is desperately involved. Sacramento will not permit them to pass through. A half dozen surround Ing counties have served official mo- tice that they will meet with armed force any attempt to send them across their lines.
 Plans to ship the men in small groups in various directions, scatter ing them beyond hope of reorganiza- ton fell flat today when the railroad companies refused to carry them There is a state law forbidding the trans- portation of undesirables.
 Gov. Hiram Johnson, addressing the Ad club here today praised Sacramento officials for their stern suppression of General" Kelley and his army.
 The governor declared the problem was not one of men involuntarily out out of employment, but of men who preferred vagrancy and would not work

A VOYAGE THROUGHTH THE CANAL

When the Panama canal is COM
pleted and the first ship is piloted

make IT. In every possible way
has the safe navigation of the
great water way been provided for

The first thing the pilot of an In.
coming vessel sees ahead of him MS

is a huge light tower, which in
conjunction With another points the
way toward the first set Of locks
at either end. On either side Of
him as he proceeds he finds innum-
cradle lighted and unIighted buoys
and beacons that indicate the limits
of the channel.
The locks themselves will be as
brilliantly lighted as the Great
White Way" itself, and the passage
of a large ship, herself brilliantly
lighted from stem to stern, with
electricity is expected to become
one Of the most spectacular fea-
lures of an interocean voyage.
Then comes the passage through
the canal, with It's numerous range
light towers on either bank, its

THAT INVERTED
PYRAMID OF DEBT

A distinguished local financier
being asked yesterday his opinion
of the new currcncy-law, replied
that be had always believed in
a central bank; that If this present
measure could be steadied along
and amendments made as expert
ence dictated the need of them, his
belief was that it would eventuate
in a system that would receive
the approval of the nation.
When it was suggested hat it
would at least knock the club from
the hands of the gold combine in
the east that had held that club
over business for so many car he
answered THAT combine had to
hold that club for there was bat
1000, 600 900 of money with
which to stand off the S13, 5000, 000,-
600 of monied Indebtedness Of the
country.
That is a most interesting state
ment and causes one to EvIder
what would have happened. had
not the mines Of Cripple Creek, of
the Rand and Rhodesia and West
Australia, and the discovery and
practical application of the cyanide
process for cheaply reducing low
grade gold ores been discovered
the demonstration of silver.
Perhaps there would have been
ess speculation, and still the COM
ng of the automobile would have
given the new demand for gutta
)ercha: the transformation brought !
the new uses of electricity
Ueuld have naturally doomed cop
DER; the nations and great cities
would have made the call for steel
ships and houses and railroads
and rolling stock.
One of two things would nave
happened; there would have been
general slowing down of progress
or a universal smashing of bust
ness.
Contemplating it one easily sees
the lack Of wisdom and the surplus
of avarice and wickedness that
prompted few men in London and
New York to destroy one-half the
metal money Of the world.
Those two cities, or rather a few
men in those cities started the cry,
they poured out their money like
water to swell the cry; there was
not one month between 1878, when
our congress, under a misappre-
hension of the facts, passed the act
of decentralization up to 1898, when
they backed Mr.. Cleveland to carry
through a final contamination of
the fanny, that they could not
have stopped the hideous crime.
And how are things now? How
has their work left our business
with t%wo.thirds of the inhabitants
of the earth?
And do the~ not make a g~rotesque
spectacle as they lean their backs
against the awful inverted pyramid
of debt, which rests upon o point
of gold, and try to keep the whole
from crumbling like a rotten ice
berg around them?-Goodwin's

CATTLE BAROAS
IN THE SADDLE

The Tonopah Bonanza works the
following out Of its system in its
issue of the 10th.
The cattle growers OF Nevada
have organized an association which
has for its chief purpose the abol-
ishment of the tax commission Of
Nevada. War has been declared
and the beef bsrons of the fast fad
ing range country are in arms
against the new system of levying
taxes. From the tone of their state
ments one would imagine they are
enduring hardships entirely foreign
to what others experience. but, on
sitting down these m%utterings, n
finds they are conferred on the n
thought of how to escape their
shares of taxes. That's all there is
to it but the gentlemen of the
range fail to see the exquisite
humor of the situation as pictured
by themselves. They would like to
have a return # the good old
baronial days when it was custom
airy for vaqueros to make sport Ct
the small farmer or newly arrived
settler by utilizing him and his
family as targets for their Win
chesters and six shooters. The cat
tleman asks that he be exempted
from contributing to support Of the
State. He is not satisfied with feed
ing his herds and tlocks OIL the pub
lie land without paying a sou mar
quee for the fodder, but he has the
lordly impudence to demand that
he be exempt from more than q
fractional share of the taxes.
The writer can remember the
day when it was customary for
county assessors to hold their jobs
for a lifetime without a thought of
making a regular campaign or ap-
pealing to the voters for reinstate-
ment. All they had to do was to
elaborate with the livestock men
and they did the rest. 1t was to
their interest to have a creature Of
their own at the county scat and il
paid them literally to have one of
their choice in office. Once in a
while just for the sake of appear
ances, the assessor woulj run for

raised ten acres of beets, which will
net $50 an acre or about 5000; forty
acres Of corn which will net $500

and about 5000 worth of eggs from
100 chickens.
in addition he will have profits
from stock which run over the re-
naming seventy acres of his tract.
