UNION LIGHT GUARD
 ARE IN REUNION

WASHINGTON. Oct. 4.-Veterans of the Union Light Guard, who are here attending the encampment of Grand Army of the Republic are planning reunion to be held this week. The Light Guard was the bodyguard of President Lincoln for two years during the Civil war.
 While couversing with Secretary of War Stanton in 1868, the Governor of Ohio offered to obtain a bodyguard for President Lincoln. Secretary Stanton accepted the offer. The Governor therefore asked for a pick ed man from each county in Ohio, but did not say what the service was to be. The mastering officer was Capt. Elmer Otis, Fourth United States Cavalry. They left for Wash ington December p, 1863, and on re- porting to the Secretary of War learned for the first time what their duties were to be.

FINE PAY ON
 CACHE CREEK
RICE CLEANED UP HUNDRED
 DOLLARS \ DAY DURING THE PAST SEASON.

John Rice, who has been over in the Cache Creek country for the past few months working on his quartz claims, returned on the car yesterday afternoon and says that for the A days he was able to operate this season he took out on an average about $lOO a day. He went over there in the latter part of February but said it was June before he was able to do any work For the seven or eight months spent over there he was able to get in only A full days of work. owing to the fact that the ground was frozen part of the time and also because of the lack of water some of the time. Mir. Rice had four men at work this season. He says that if he had that piece of ground near here, where the ground would not be frozen so long, it would bring in a handsome revenue. Mir. Rice will leave in a day or so for his property near Mile 20, which requires assess ment work.

BRITISH SYSTEM NOT
 PRACTICAL HERE-LANE

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-Replying to American opponents of the British system of giving Cabinet officers seats in Congress, Franklin K. Lane, secretary of the Interior Department, told the United Press that in his esti- nation the scheme was neither "prac- ticable nor advisable"
 Speaking for myself" said Secre- tary Lane, "I would not have the time to use my seat in Congress if l had one. Cabinet positions in America are purely administrative positions as opposed to those in England, where the supervision of the various de- partments is mostly carried on by under-secretarieS.
 "As the situation is now, we Cabin ct officers have all the opportunity desired Co make clear our ideas and wishes to Congress. In the first place the recommendations in our annual reports state our positions to Cong ress as clearly and forcibly as we could state them if We addressed the members from the floor of the cham Der. In the second place, We have ample opportunity to appear before the Congressional committees and speak on any measure within our province.
 In addition to that, all bills concern ing our respective departments are submitted to us as soon as introduced for the purpose of getting our opin- ions on them. During the last ses- sion of Congress I wrote reports on 5000 bills thus submitted. You can realize that I would have hardly time to make three thousand speeches for or against them.
 Looking at the proposition from the point of view of the Congressmen and Senators themselves, do not be- lieve they would favor the plan. ] believe that the distinction between administration and legislation, as now recognized, is what they would continue to favor and insist upon
