Something like 50,000 siiinro | mlle of th
mounlolnoiis country of western Canada ban
been surveyed with the camera. Notlilng
comparable to this In the way of photographic
surveying bin been accomplished on any such
BCio ! any n hero cl o In the world. How the
work has been accomplished anil bow other
surveyors may learn to follow the same
method bit * been pointed outcry fully In a
llttlu book just Issued from the press of the
Canadian government printing bureau , writ'
ten by Mr. 17. Ocvlllc , surveyor genrral of
the dominion lands , who Is probably the most
experienced nnd accompllrhed photo survejor
In the world.
The word photo-surveyor , by the by , Is only
a makeshift. The method of surveying with
the camera being as yet comparatively little
Used except In restricted terrltorlefl , no name
for tbo method has como Into general accept

that bavo been suggested nro photogram-
motry , metre-photography , to\ophotography [ \
and Iconomi'try , ot which the tast , which
means literally o means ot measuring by
perspectives , Is held by Mr. Dovllle to bo
pet haps the most -desirable.
CIIAIITINO INACCESSIBLE MOUNTAINS.
Names aside , the method Is a most Im
portant one , enabling the surveyor to chart
niountalnotm lands that are practically In
accessible to the carrier ot chain and trident ,
and altogether so to the user of the plane
table , and to do the work not only well but
cheeply. This being the case , It seems
Blrango that the method has not come Into
universal use , for It appears that , though
still In a sen.io a novel jnutbod , It is by no
means new. It originated as long ago < u >
1849 with the distinguished Frenchman
Laussedat. who at first practiced surveying
with the use ot the camera luclda for making
the drawings , and wlio soon afterward sub- i
Btltuted the camera. Ho published lull ac
counts of what bo had done , and , Indeed ,
brought the photogiaphic method to full per
fection , notwithstanding the relative crude-
nesa of the Implements then at command and
the great dllllcultles ot the old wet method
of photography.
It Is not strange , perhaps , that Lanssedat
found tow followers In the day of the old
wet-plato photography ; but why there have
not been more of them since the dry plate
came to simplify photography Is not at first
Bight BO clear. Mr. Hevlllc , himself almost
the flri't and by far the most advanced ot
Laussedat's disciples , explains It , however
as duo to tbo real dllllculties of the photo
graphic method , oven when practiced with
all moJcrn aids. Theoretically. It might
seem the easiest thing In the world. In this
day of universal "push and button" photo-
'graphy , to Instruct the trained surveyor u-o
that ho could substitute a camera for his
plane-table , and at once secure excellent re-
ultB. A drawing which with cmy othci
means would require hours to secure , even
li > outline , may be transferred to the gela-
tlno plato , as everybody knows , In the frac
tion of a second. Havlug secured a series
of LMicb sun records , from fixed and recorded
points of observation , the photographer has
but to take his negatives home , print en
larged pictures from them , and proceed to
Ills real surveying In his ollice.
PHOTOGIIAPHINO BXTHAOftDINAUY.
Hut In practice. Mr. Dcvlllo assures \\s , tbo
case Is quite different , and lila warning Is
the more to bo heeded because It comco
from mi ardent advocate of the method , The
causes of failure on > the part ot many who
have tried the method and discarded It In
disgust are chlolly two. Ono of these Is a
dofcctlvo knowledge of descriptive geometry
neil perspective , which are essentials of the
plotting of photograplc surveying , but which
have , of course , little Interest for the general
reader. The other dllllculty lies In the
manipulation of the photographic ratua
Itc-elf , and the making of a proper negative.
This , wo are assured. Is by jio means the
easy thing It seems , clnco photographs that
would bo highly occtmtablo to the average
photographer , professional or amateur , might
ibo quite usclcca for the purpose of tbo BUT-
voyor.
For example , tbo surveyor's picture , Ui
order to bo ot use , must bo taken with the
camera In precisely the horizontal position ,
tilting never a hair's breadth In ono direc
tion or another : the lens ho uses must bo an
auastlgmat , and absolutely rectilinear , that
tbo Imago may not be In the least distorted ,
und the plate must bo of a special kind , and
adjusted Ut the camera with u degree of
nicety of which the ordinary photographer
lias no conception , The detail * * as to all
these things that Mr. Devlllo gives irp
highly Interesting , when divested of their
technical nomenclature , and must tend to
in a I ; o any ordinary photographer feel that
the art of taking pictures as ho follows It
la crude -toil utiscloutlllc to the last degree ,
compared with what It might be. In Mr.
Devlllo'g Iiailds U baa become , In tbo most
technical teneta science. )
DEVICES OV INTEHKST TO AMATEUItS.
We rod. for example , of the exact deter-
initiation of the right tlmo for exposure for
o Riven negative , in which algebraical form-
tiU and mathematical cbarta figure In a w y
that would bo quite bewildering to the average -
ago lover of the Mmoraj but In the midst of
these tcchnlc&I details Are many points of
practical value to every photographer. Thus ,
the simple device of having a , net suspended
between the logs of the tripod , In which
stones are plsccd to steady the camera , would
save many a negative In windy weather that
now Is lost through tbo vibration of the In
strument. And the care which Is counseled
In determining the exact period of proper
oxpojuro for o glvcni plate , lens , nnd light ,
even If carried out with far less ot scientific
precision than Is here suggested , would en
able many an amateur who now wsstea sev
eral plates for every good negative to re
verse the proportions of failures and suc
cesses.
Ono curious feature of the photographic
iiurveylng , which the amateur would not care
to 'follow ordinarily , but n knowledge of
which might provo of service on.occasion.
Is that the aerial perspective , making the dis
tance hazy , Is practically eliminated by the
use of orthochromatic plates , which arc little
affected by the blue rays , combined with the
uvo of an orange-colored screen In front of
the lens. The result , of course , Is a picture
devoid of atmosphere , and hence defective
from the artistic standpoint , but palpably
more valuable for the purposes of the sur
veyor , who very likely has taken the picture
solely to sho\v the exact location , altitude
and contour of a distant mountain.
The use of these methods for restricting
the light nccersltates very long exposures ,
and this In turn makes requisite the use of
plates coated on the back with a light-ab
sorbing material ( so-called non-halation
ulates ) , else the light tellccted from tbo back
surface of the plato would fog the film. Mr.
Dovlllo Is careful to point out that this coat
ing must be In optical contact with the tur-
fnco of the glasi , In other words actually
r n In toil upon It , the mcro placing of a black
cloth or paper against the bick of the plate ,
for Instance , being of no service whatever.
OTHER COUNTRIES TAKING IT UP.
When all these technical dllllcultles of
photoginphlc surveying are made clear it no
longer seems so strange that the method has
been but slowly adopted by surveyors , even
In those districts where Us advantages would
bo most marked. The surveyors who trle-1
it usually failed to get any available results ,
and they did not realize that the fault lay
with thcir.belves , and not with the method.
The Canadian survpjo , however , have now
proven beyond cavil what the method Is
capable of , and quite recently other countries
are falling In lino. In Germany and In Italy ,
Indeed , much valuable work In this direction
had been done oven earlier than the
Canadian surveys , though nowhere on any
such scale as 'here. ' Hut It Is a curious fact
that In France , the homo of Liussedat , the
originator nnd perfector of the method , no
oniclal support or recognition was accorded
it until , almcat half a century after Its tlrst
introduction , It comes back to its original
seat , bearing the approval cf half a doen
outside governments , In particular of Camda.
Hut now ut last the value of LautHcdat'a In
vention Is coming to bo recognized even by
hla own couiiitrymen.
To any one who reads of the Canadian
surveys It will bo clear tbo surveying with
a camera on iv tripod Is an accomplish ; re-
biilt. There Is yet another application of the
photographic method to surveying , however ,
which Is still In the experimental stage.
This Is the use of cameras not mounted on
trlpo-ls , but suspended from kltrs and bal-
loana. There are enthusiasts who believe
that all the surveying of the future , no
matter what the character of the topography ,
will bo done exclusively In this way. Mr.
Dovllle , It should bo noted , docs not share
this view ; yet his results with the tripod
method would seem to give a certain warrant
for the great expectations ot the balloon
photographer. So eson as the dirigible ( lying
machine IB -accomplished mo 'rani ' in , tli re
would seem to bo no further reason for the
surveyor to clamber laboriously over rnoun-
talnis to take his photographs , when he can
so much more comfortably soar over them
and take his snap-shots from the cloud line.
Hut with the non-dirigible balloons of tbo
present. It does not seem feasible to sup
plant the work of the tripod camera.

UUBUQUB. la. , Nor. 6. ( Special. ) The
aldcrmanlc Indictments have created considerable
"
siderable of a sensation In this city. The
list ot Indicted men Includes : Mayor I'etcr
Ollngor and Aldermen J. W. Hatpin , A. A.
Cullcn , Tim Shea , Anton Voglcr , John
Schulto , P. W. Crawford , Theodore Haucr < Md
Joseph K. Kauffman , who are charged with
willful ami corrupt misconduct In office ;
c.x-Comralttco Clerk John O'Connell and ex-
Street Commissioner T. W. HaRerty , who
are accused ot stuffing the street conimls-
slouer's r-iy roll ,
The story dates back for thirty months.
The aldermen formerly received salaries of
1300 per > car. In April , ISO. , the council
raised this amount to $500 per year. Two
members , W. W. I'onson nnd Philip Hyitcr ,
nt present chairmen of the republican and
democratic county central committees , re-
sppctlvoly , voted against the proposition ,
Nothing was thought about the matter until
the fall of 1S95 , wliou the council made al
lowances to the members of the Hoard of
Health , which Included the mayor and some
aldermen. The mayor , \\ho was cx-odiclo
chairman , was allotted ? 500.
A local paper announced that thVj was Il
legal , as ho was receiving $1,500 per jear ,
the limit of the salary allowed by law for
all duties connected with the office of mayor.
This statement WES denied , and an Investi
gation of tbo law , undertaken to support
the assertion , brought to light the fact that
the aldermen were prohibited by ( section fief
of the upeclal charter from voting cm any
matter in which they were interested. De-
splto the newspaper discussion and the
warning given the aldermen orderoil the war
rants drawin and the mayor dad several al
dermen took the money at once.
FIRST INDICTMENTS.
Judge Hutted Instructed the grand jury to
Indict the major should It be found ho hid
taken more than $1,500 and such aldermen as
might be found to have voted for the resolu
tion Increasing their own salaries. The jury
Indicted the mayor and the eight alderman
named.
The defendants demurred to the Indict
ments and Judge O'Drnnoll , fiom motives of
delicacy , requested Judge Waterman to come
up from Davenport and hear them.
Judge Waterman sustained the demurrer.
Ho held the act of Mayor Ollngcr In taking' '
more tl'Oin the legal salary was r.-ot a crime ,
because ho had act voted the salary to him
self and because tbo statute limiting the
compensation was not punitive. lie added
that If the legislature should vote him more
balary tlirn tie ! constitution of the state al
lowed a judge ho would take It.
Ho held the alderman had committed no
crime , becatiso the hectlon of the city charter I
prohibiting them fiom vctlng on any
matter In which they are Interested was not ]
punitive. Ho also held they had nnt violated
this section , becatiso another section gave j
them the power to fix the salarlra or all city j
olllcers. The Indictment did not allege that I
tint salary of this council had been fixed by H I
preceding one. Therefore , ho held , this j
council had the right to llx the ialarlci , cf iln
own members.
The cases were appealed and n few weeks
ago the supreme court reversed Judge Water
man on very proposition ad\onrcd In
cither case It held , the mayor , who took
salary In PXPCBS of the legal limit , and the
aldermen , doing thinga pioh.blted liy charter ,
wtre liable undo * the statiito providing that
any public olllcer performing In his ofllchl
capacity any act prohibited by statute nhould
bo liable to a flno of $500 to $5,000. or to Im
prisonment lu Jail for not moro than one
icar , or both.
LOW UK COURT IinVHRSKD.
It also held that bectlon 5 of the city
charter prohibited the aldermen from raising
or fixing their own salaries. A procedcrdo
was rutuined In each cnbc , and the now
Indictments returned today followed swift
upon ithcm.
Mayor Oltnger and all of the Indicted alder
men , who came up for re-election In the
bprlng of 1E9G , Just after Judge Waterman's
dcclsloi worn defeated Olliiger failed to
carry a single precinct In a city In which ho
Lad carried every precinct the previous year ,
and this notwithstanding ho had given the
mcst economical administration In the city's
history.
Major Ollnger came from Luxemburg
na u boy and picked up Hngllsh from the
wood choppers , with whom he spent his first
winter. Then ho became grocer , liveryman ,
vard boss , alderman and mayor. Mean
time ho became a patron of the turf and

Ho was captain of the Thlid Iowa Infantry
an' ' served with General Phil Sheridan at

tltlo of colonel comes from his service In
the Iowa mllitlai after the war. Among the
constituents ho represents in the council
mi Senator Allison , Congressman Hender

Tim Shea Is altgocther the most plc-
turcsqu" , Interesting and original character
of the group. 'Mr. Shea begin lifeas hotel
porter and won fame as a promoter of sport
ing e\ents. Ho rnn'a bonding-house and pros
pered to such a. degree that he affected the
quarter stretch and the betting ( .bed on his
visits to Nutwood park. As a politician who
! ilwa\s fctood leady to p-Il the vote of the
biys for his favorite he became Influential at
the city hall.
"EASY" TO BEAT.
When It was announced In the spring of
1891 that Tim would be a candidate for
rldorman the affair was treated as a Joke.
Ho was cute enough to give out the lmpirs-
slon that ho was only a " 3'all" and would
withdraw at the eleventh hour In fnvor of
another man the committee had In train-
In . Tim was thought so easy to beat that
every other man In the opposl'a party was
a candidate against him. Only one was
chosen and the disappointed candidates
turned In and helped to elect Tim Just nj
that Individual had calculated from ths start.
Sbea'B originality and hearty manner , the
absence of bitterness In his nature and : i
candor like Webster Flanagan'n made him
ngreoablo to his fellow members , while all
elements ot the community regarded him
kindly. In 1895 he was In favor with the
administration and had the chairmanship
lot bavon committees , Including nearly every
committee thai bought anything tor the
city.
The pay roll scandal came to light last
May after the retirement of Committee
Clerk John O'Connell from a position lie had
held many years. O'Connell was the handy
man about 'the ' city hall , and long experience
had made him very car.sbl1. He earned
their gratitude by writing resolutions nnd
preparing reports for alderman anil pxecn-
tlvo olllcers who hnndled the pen only with
fear and trembling. Among those dependent
on his courtesy was Street Commissioner
Hagorty , whoso pay roll , signed by Hagerty ,
was compiled byi O'Connell from the 111110-
books kept by thp twelve strsot bosses. Hag-
orty also turned into O'Connell the time of
the men woiklng un'dcr his personal supervi
sion. Thus O'Cnnniill alone knew what namei
and tlmo had ben turned In. If the name
nt someone unknown to him appeared on
the published pay roll and , of course , there
were many Instancies of the kind every
month each bos.3 , supposed the man had
worked for some c.f the others.
There came a ( lay when an alderman
wanted O'Connrllls place for his nephew , and
by trading with others Interested In eandl-
dates for other offices , he secured It. Then
