EVERYONE HAS MONEY, BUT

There is 1885 for every man, woman
and child in the United States, or would
be if the total wealth of the country
were divided up among the people. Ac-
cording to the figures of the census,
Uncle Sam is worth $1S7739, GOO,
nearly twenty five times as much as his
assets amounted to in 1850, the per
capita being multiplied by six and be-
ing kept down by the rapid increase
in population during the two-thirds Of
century. Since the year 1900 the total
wealth of the country has more than
doubled. In 1908 the estimated wealth
of the whole British empire was $685.
2SO,OOO,OOO, the figures for the United
Kingdom being $72,997 100000 The
wealth of Germany in 1908 was esti-
mated at ST., 1864, 100000.
Of course the wealth of the foreign
countries has constantly increased, al
though not so fast as III the United
States, which undoubtedly leads the
world at the present time. Now that
the war has put stop to the financial
growth of the leading nations, the diff
ference will become more marked the
next time the figures become available
Before the outbreak of the war Belgium
was the most densely populated coun
try in the world, as we'll as the richest
The position in which the unfortunate
little kingdom finds itself today may
be duplicated on larger scale before
the struggle in Europe ends. In any
event, a vast amount of property ha

stuffs. Unless all signs fail, it will

has never seen anything like it.

CAN'T AFFORD THE SEWER.

The board of directors of the local
cannery have concluded to build cess
pool rather than pay the city $1,000 for
sewer connections, which they consider
unreasonably high. The cannery being
outside the city limits the council was
of the opinion that it could not be con-
nected with the sewer at any price, and
that if it could 800 was an assessment
proportionate with its valuation as com
pared to surrounding property. Some
Of the councilmen thought the cannery
would be an injury to the sewer and
should have been connected with the
river.

ANNUAL ROUNDUP FINISHED

The roundup of horses on the Fort
Ha II Indian reservation came to an end
last Thursday, although the event is
not entirely over yet. The roundup,
which is an annual event, was called
by Superintendent T. B. Lesieur. There
were several hundred horsemen engaged
and no serious accidents were reported,
although the work was dangerous.
Following branding and sorting, the
animals were again turned out to Craze.
The numerous light rains this month,
says the Indians, have put the range in
fine condition, and all stock will do
finely until the dry season sets in. =

AN UNGENTLEMANLY TRAMP

Last Monday vicious tramp called
at the j. II. Mcdonald home and quite
demanded something to eat.
Mrs. Mcdonald replied that she was
very busy, but her trouble seemed
nothing to him, and he repeated more
forcibly than before his demand for
food, saying he had eaten nothing since
Saturday morning and must have some
thing to eat. Fearing that he might re-
peat his demand more forcibly than
ever, she fastened to get rid of him
by filling him full of food, when a
small dose of lead would have been
more suitable to his case.

AND CREAM
ERIEs FOR BREwERIES.

Prohibition has transformed the
breweries of the State of Washington
into clam and fruit canneries and
creameries, but their products will
never be popular enough to produce the
enormous revenue the breweries and
their saloon allies did. Aberdeen, a
city on Grays Harbor, of 10000 popula-
ton and twenty eight saloons, once paid
an aggregate annual license of $i3,600
for selling five-cent beer and ten cent
whiskey with an oyster cocktail for a

to Georgia, the sanctity of whose law
has been the one real issue and now
the thing most wantonly violated.
And yet that mon of twenty-five men

was obliged to protect, carried him
away and lynched him, took him with

Georgia cannot retrieve the act
for which, through failure of her Off
Gals, responsibility rests upon her.
There is but one even approximately
adequate answer she can make, and
that is punishment of the offenders,
punishment of the slayers of a
States prisoner, OF the assailants Of
the sovereignty OF a State. 1t mat

The Case of Leo Frank

The following comment on the
Frank case is from the Atlanta Con-
stitution, the leading paper of Geor-
gia
Leo M. Frank, life prisoner in
the State penitentiary, where he was
sent by conjoint decree OF the courts
and the Executive clemency power,
has been taken from the state prison
farm, carried more than $50 miles
through the country, and lynched by
a mob, which left his body hanging
to tree near Marietta.
in that act the sovereignty of the
State Of Georgia has been assaulted,
desecrated, raped. No word in the
language is too strong to apply to
the deliberate and carefully conspir-
ed deed of the mob. The assault of
the lowest criminal upon the life, per
son, or property of another affects
directly but two persons, the assail
ant and his victim; the act of the
mob which lynched Leo Frank has
put a stain upon the escutcheon of a
State which more than 100000 peo-
pie are trying to preserve untarnish-
ed.
Every man, woman and child in
Georgia will feel the ultimate effect
of that act Of the law-defying mob
which went to Milledgeyille and
lynched, not Leo Frank, who is only
detail in the awful story, but the
State itself 1t is Georgia, Georgia
law and justice, that was hanged up
on that Cobb County tree. The
strangest part about it all is that it
occurred at all.
There is not a man, woman, or
child of reasonable age in Georgia
but could have predicted the possibil
ity of this wantonly unlawful trag-
edy. Most of all those State authori-
ties responsible for prison safety
should have known the attempt
would probably be made. In the well
known state of public feeling, EN-
phasized by repeated threats and
rumors of violence to the prisoner,
and further melted by Il murderous
| assault upon the particular prisoner
by an inmate Of the same penitenti-
airy camp, it was the duty of those
State authorities, their sworn duty,
to go to every necessary extent to
prevent that act of violence in which
Georgia's shame is now indelibly writ

is not dissimilar to others"

TOM REED MINE
HA5SAFEFUTURE
Mining Experts Declare the
Property Has Unlimited
Career as Producer.

Kingman. Ariz.. April 21.-Determin-
ations of the highest Importance have
recently been made on the 1075 foot
level of the Tom Reed mine, at Oatman.
Mining experts say that conditions at
that depth are such that the Tom
Reed is assured OF practically unlim-
tied life. Since 1910 this mine has pro-
duced IS 900, 900 worth Of gold, but the
owners now feel that they can take out
several times as much in the next five
years and not appreciably diminish
their ore supply
At 1915 feet the vein carries no wa
ter. while on the levels above the flow
is so strong as to necessitate constant
pumping. In character the ore is much
the same, but the rock in the fOotwau
is strikinEly different It appears to
be an andesite dating from the time Of
the precambrian flow which at one
period covered this entire region An
other interesting fact is that at 1870
feet the ore dips to the south, while
above il dips to the north
Most Of the ore now being milled
comes from the $50 foot level The pay
streak on that level is from six to 10
feet wide Stopping is to commence
within a short time.
