Assessor Miles is a Democrat. Also
he is a sore tnorn in the side of the
Democratic gang and graft associa
tion in this country. Which explains
current attacks upon him in certain
quarters. There are always two sides,
and we shall wait to hear from Mr.
Miles. Meantime the “make haste
slowly” motto seems to have been
lost sight of, as all convenient bits of
buncombe generally are.
At the annual meeting of stock
“**— , swift & Co., the financial
report submiuoa obnwed that the
gross business in the fiscal year end
ed September 30, i»oo, wa8 j„ ex
cess of $250,000,000, or in the
neighborhood of $10,000,000 more
than the previous year, and about the
same as in 1907. The figures indicate
earnings on the greater amount of
stock of about to,do pc* *.»***, --
pared with slightly more than 15 per
cent in the previous year and with
12.60 per cent in 1907. All of which
tells a good story for the Swift Co.,
as well as of the improvement that
has come about in the country.
The law provides that to the as
sessors of the various counties, in the
discretion of the majority, may be
left the fixing ot valuation as aiTect
fng their immediate districts. Thus
the assessor in earn county will, by
the ruling of the present state gath
ering, fix the rate in his county on
hogs. Several other exceptions have
been made, including the assessment
upon telegraph and telephone mile
age in each county, ine latter step
having been taken to knock out a
graft game in which It appears that a
considerable combine of worthies
were engaged.
Secretary Knox suggested to the
powers interested in the Manchurian
railway situation a plan contemplat
ing the neutralization of those rail-1
roads by their sale to China, the I
transaction to be financed by an In
ternational syndicate. If Mr. Knox's
plan is carried into effect as now
seems probable, the result will be to
take Manchurian railways out of ori
ental politics and place them under
economic and Impartial administra
tion. The ownership of the railways
will be vested In the Chinese govern
ment, the funds for the purpose to
be loaned to China by the bankers of
those countries which are pledged to
maintain the open door.
HERE'S A HARD RAP.
A merchant was disgusted because |
bo many of the fam»eis were buying
of mail o'Sei- houses, and one old
• auener being cornered the other
day was asked about it. The rancher
told the merchant that he could do
better by buying of the catalogue
houses. He then asked the farmer
for his order b'ank and did a’ little
figuring on it.
“Why,” he exdamed at last, "1 i
could have saved you a dollar and j
six bits on the bill, delivered at your'
kitchen and done It right away.”
‘ Well,” said the rancher, as much
disgruntled as the merchant, “why
in heck didn't you say co before? 1
never see any of the goods advertis
ed, how am I to know. The mall
order people send me a catalogue
and tell me how the goods look and
how much they cost, and some of
them look good to me. Why don’t
you do the same?’
That was a hard rap. We wonder
how many merchants are losing
money as well as business because
they do not go after it?—Ex.

tue’s cause.—Shakespeare.
MINES AND MINING
KILLED IN MILL
-WARNING Ml
WAS FAILURE
Demetrius Terris, a Greek, 24
years old, was killed yesterday morn
ing about 7 o’clock by being crushed
beneath a carload of ore while work
ing on the ’’Grizzlies” of bin No. 2 of
the concentrator at McGill. Tom
Lontos, another Greek, of the same
age, who was working with Terzis at
the time, narrowly escaped the same
fate. As it was, he was slightly cov
ered up by the falling rock but sus
tained no serious injury.
Coroner A. J. Cartwright went to
McGill immediately upon receipt of
the news of the fatal accident and
impaneled a jury to make an Investi
gation, which resulted in the return
of a verdict to tne effect that Terzis
came to his death through his own
carelessness, evidence having been
introduced showing that a warning
was given before theore. '
ed from th«a<ftrg phn„pB j B Grif_
flths, Bert. Caples, Jerry Hogan, L.
M. Smith and James Ragan.
Comment on the case was consider
able around McGill yesterday, the
Jury verdict not being accepted as
fully covering the case. Warning, it
is pointed out, was evidently not
heard or understood by the men un
der the car, else they would have got
out of the way.
TO HORK FOR OIL.
Washoe ( onipany Will Soon Start
Active Operations.
The oil excitement in Humboldt
county is not merely of speculative
interest, but will be followed by a
campaign of actual development
work by men familiar with oil ex
ploration, backed by ample capital,
was demonstrated yesterday when it
w'as announced that expensive ma
chinery has been purchased for drill
ing in the Black Rock desert ( says
the Reno Journal:
The Sitting Hull Oil company, in
corporated five days ago in Washoe
county, has already purchased ap
proximately *lu,000 worth of ma
chinery, including engine, boiler,
rigging outfit, cable Ashing tools,
casing and even a hanging crane for
sharpening the drll. bits.
“The machinery purchased is de
signed to drill 3,000 feet if necessary
and it has been planned to use 12
inch casing from the start.
“Oil is expected to be encountered
at a depth of 350 feet, that being the
depth at which the first indications
were found.
“Many other companies are being
formed to exploit the oil Helds be
lieved to lie In this vicinity and a
season of active development work
is believed to be at hand.”
