GIN CHOW PASSES

HIN CHOW, CALIFORNIA; elderly Chinese
u weather prophet, proved that he
could prophesy as correctly IN other
fields as he could about the weather.
Last fall, following a mix-up with
bull, he predicted that he would meet
death this year His prediction came
true yesterday when he died from in
iuries received in a traffic accident last
Saturday.
AS weather prophet Gin Chow was
able to bat very close to 100 per cent.
Using his own system and with no such
elaborate apparatus as government fore
casters use, he made good on his ram
predictions with a frequency gratifying
to his supporters and embarrassing to
those who termed his success mere
matter of luck.
In addition to being weather pro-
phet of the first rank, Gin Chow seems
to have been a very highly respected
member of his home community IN Lom-
poe. He was one of the older type OF
Chinese with which Californlans are IA

WASHINGTON, June 10. up
Americas gold supply apparently
is destined to join the limbo of
forgotten things for many wears
with not even a IS gold piece to
be available for little Willie's
Christmas gift.
The federal government, of course
won't forget its $3,600,000,000 worth
of gold coins, bars and ingots, but
all signs indicate that golden mon
ey probably will not be placed in
circulation again soon in the Unit
ed States.
The vast hoard now is something
of a white elephant to those who
must keep it safe. Since the country
went off the gold standard the
tons and tons of bullion in various
federal reserve banks are utterly
useless as. far as the average cit
izen is concerned.
The gold can't be spent in this
country The government, never
theless is making an intensive
drive to obtain the 100000, 900
worth of gold still in the hands of
the public. None in high official
life will say why.
1T is very necessary that we
get this gold" said Attorney Cen
eral Cummings in explaining the
progress of his drive against gold
hoarders.
What do you want it for, Mr.
Attorney General?" asked a news
paperman.

Officials of the treasury depart

finance and its relation to public
confidence. Suffice to say that the
American government probably will
not plant its gold supply on any
islands.
The money is now in the IL Fed

of it in the super BURGLAR proof

PROPOSITIONS ON BALLOT

PROPOSITION No. 2-Unemployment
relief bonds Officially this is sem
ate constitutional amendment No. Al,
which ratifies the unemployment relief
bond act of 1888, authorizing the issu-
ance and sale of S2O,O00,OOO in state
bonds to provide fund for loans to
counties and municipalities for unem-
ployment relief
Two features of this proposition should
be thoroughly understood by the voter.
First, redemption of the bonds will not
be the cause of an increase in either the
state or county tax rates. Second, un-
less the state shows a willingness to give
at least partial care to its unemployed,
it can hope for no assistance from the
government in the form Of K. r. I. funds
The bonds are self-liquidating. The
state will sell the bonds to the K. +. I.
and those counties or municipalities
which elect to borrow, will pay back the
state by permitting the state to withhold
payments from the counties share OF the
gasoline tax in 10 annual installments,
beginning in 1897. The counties are not
forced to borrow the money. They may
do so if they wish
1t has been the policy of the national
government to refuse R. F. c. loans for
