SMELTERS.

Mr.. Ryan's views on the smelter
question are entitled to considera-
ton. Viewed in the light of his
somewhat antagonistic interests,
they are really a significant admis-
sion. That gentleman, it should he
generally understood, has begun the
construction of extensive smelling
works at Tacoma, and is naturally
disposed to discourage other capital
lists from erecting competing
smelter in Spokane Falls. The RE-
VIEW has no intention of claiming
that there are no obstacles in the way
of the successful operation of extcn-
sive reduction works i'm this city. But
it does claim that those obstacles are
no greater than such as other cities
have successfully combatted.
In some respects our interests are
counter to those of the transporta-
ton companies, who always seek
the longest haul. But this does not
apply to the vast quantities of low
grade ore found in every mining
district, which even the railroads
can not afford to haul to the East,
but which could pay fair tolls to
Spokane Falls and still leave profit
to the mine owner and the smelter.
The Spokane q Northern has al
ready pierced the extensive mineral
belt extending far to the northward,
and the Manitoba will soon give us
the advantages of II competing line
to Puget Sound, where, for the pres
ent, we should probably have
to look for Al supply of fuel.
Already this city is in direct
connection with u fair variety
of ores, and the construction of an
extensive smelter would increase
that advantage.
1t Is vain to- wait In idleness for
the development of more mines.
The smelter will quickly bring that
result, and do more to encourage
exploitation than any other step
within the powers of the people of
this city.
This is question which should
deeply concern the vast section
tributary to Spokane Falls. But
the people of this city are more di-
rectly interested, and they should
take whatever steps the consum-
nation of this great project may re-
auire.

pated all over the United States. A

pated all over the United States. A
moments consideration will demon-
strate the advlsability OF IA move
ment In this direction. IF Spokane
Is to develop into the city we all
believe she WILL thousands and
thousands of tons of lead pipe, sheet
lead, red and white lead for paints,
and hundreds of miles of copper
wire Will be required In the build
ing. All of this may and does come
out of the rough ore now whrled
through this city and on to Eastern
manufactures. The magic task of
its transformation gives employ
ment to thousands of skilled laboreis
and artisans. This class of work
men are paid high recompense. AS
a rule they build comfortable and
often beautiful homes; they are just
the class we require in this city.
Once these manufactures are
placed upon profitable working
basis, perpetual market for their
products will be found in the rapidly
growing cities of the Pacific coast.
And if there should be Il surplus, II
hundred ships will be ready to carry
IL to Europe and Asia.
This Is not the dream of a vision
ary; 1t Is possibility that vigorous
action upon the part of the COM
mercial representatives of Spokane
Falls can change into an established
fact.
Gentlemen of the board of trade, n
sublime responsibility is upon you.
The REVIEW trusts you will rise to
the occasion.

A MAGNIFICENT FIGHT.
Judge Turner Is Getting to tho Front
In Great Shane,

In Great shape.
Judge Turner has been working like n
beaver during the recess, and his friends
claim that theJ changes that have oc.
Cured since the adjournment of tho
legislature have made the defeat of Al.
zen certainty. Judge Turner comedies
Tonight that Allen is sure of forty votes
and possibly forty-four but ridicliles the
poast OF the Allen men that they have
seventy votes behind him. The Spo-
kane Fails candidate was reluctant
ABOUT giving figures OF his own strength,
nut SAID ne would show up In good
shape, when the ballot is taken next
Iuesday; He hopes that the legislature
VIII not insist nnon electing two sena-
would he unfair-frst because the
united states statutes do not legalize II
ana IN the second place IL would admit
oi a combination between the leading
candidates, which would make the elec.'
tion of both more certain.
Judge turner's chances have un-
questionably improved since tho adj
Journment of the legislature. Since
then Brents has encouraged his support
ers 70 work for the Spokane man, whose
voting strength Is now put at between
thirty.siX and forty.
Judge Turner has not been letting the
grass grow under his feet. Besides CON
ducting his canvass, he has been irving
to harmonizo the nine Spokane mem.
bcrs, and to induce them to obey
the resolution under which thoy
were nominated to support the
spokane candidate having the
largest following outside of his county.
This. it seems, Is a hopeles task. HYDE,
who is disgruntled because of the with
drawal of his brother Grubb, and Clark
seem determined to vote for Allen Van
Houten is tending toward Allen, and so
IS Watt, and both are claimed by Allen,
but Turner's friends say they will vote
ior their man If Allen Is not elected on
the iirst ballot. In short, Turner is
hopeful of being supported by his coun-
" delegation, when they find out that
he stands good show.

THE MONTANA CONTEST.

The political contest in Montana
is virtually blocked. Each party
claims to have a majority of the
legislature, and in one judicial dis
trict two judges have been qualified
and claim the right to preside at
the same bench. The result is that
all litigation i'm this district has
stopped, litigants refusing to have
their cases placed In the hands of
a court which may fail to be de-
clared the lawful claimant of the
ermine. Governor Toole has called
session of the legislature to
meet on Saturday, the 23d, at
which time some interesting
features of party procedure Is
expected. Under their form of gov
ernment the state auditor is required
to call the roll of the members of the
legislature, and as he is u republican
II is expected that he will recognize
the republican members from pre-
cinct 81. This will force the demo
cratic members from that precinct to
become contestants before the legis-
lature. BY some it is thought that
the. democrats will refuse to join
with the republicans In the organ
izatlon, but win perfect a separate
organization and elect United States
senators. Ifthis Is done, two sets
of United States senators will be
elected, who will carry claims their
TO the United States senate for settle
ment. ail .tg'.a

THE "rRoHrBITIoN SHIP"

Miss Frances Willard is a noble
woman, endowed with lofty spirit
of philanthropy; but for all that her
vision Is dimmed by the hazy at
mosphere of impracticability that
hangs over the prohibition camp.
She IL the trusted leader of an or
ganization of truly good women,
whose actions are controlled more
by emotional impulses than by the
cold light of reason. So when she
arises In convention and deals out
glittering generalitles about the hap
py time when the "good ship Pro-
hibition" shalllcome sailing into har-
Dor, with colors flying and u cargo
of prosperity and good will on board,
she Is cheered to the echo, and her
auditors hug to their bosom the de-
lusion that they are saving the
world-and are happy. This is all
very fine, and does little or no
harm; but for all that 1t will never
solve the liquor problem. Prohibi-
tion has had II fair trial, and has
been found wanting. A few years
ago the school of emotional orators
acclaimed so loudly and earnestly
that great many people who rec
ognized the evils flowing from
the saloon, and observed, as
all do, that high license
fell short of the IDEAL were inhu-
enced to the extent of giving prohi-
bition trial. That they have lived
to rue the day, the results of the re-
cent elections in prohibition states
give ample proof In some Of these
the sentiment against the expert
ment has grown so strong that the
people, grown weary of an era of free
whisky and unrestrained saloons,
have risen with strong impulse
and cast the incubus away from
them.
II the good ship Prohibition car
ries so generous II cargo of content
ment and sobriety, how comes 1t
that Iowa, harboring, as she has for
several years, this figurative craft,
has been unable to share IL few of
these blessings? If prohibition
closes the saloons, banishes prisons
and makes tenantless the aims
houses and insane asylums, why do
we find these deplorable institutions
within the limits of Iowa, Kansas,
Vermont and other prohibition
states? And where shall we seek
an explanation of the political revo-
luton that last week swept across
the state of Iowa, and converted IA
hitherto republican stronghold into
IA democratic state, if the voters of
that state are so contented and
happy? If there are no prisons, nor
nor asylums within the
broad borders of prohibition Iowa,
why are the people complaining of
taxes, and emigrating
by thousands into surrounding
states where the high license system
is in operation?
The REVIEW Is no friend or adj |
mirer of the saloon. 1t does not |
seek to gild vice or evil, but 1t rec
ognizes In the saloon the outgrowth,
the effect, of cause, and that cause,
IL believes, Is IA curse that has always .
the progress of humanity,
and always will so long as the ami
NAL part of man delights in the
effects Of alcoholic stimulation.

sPoKANE,s ADVANTAGES.

The question AS to what is the
best plan to reduce the lead and sill
yer ores so abundant in this locality
is being considered by some of the
most practical mining men. Fol
some time it was thought best to
locate smelters in many of the best
mining districts, where mineral
could be found accessible in great
quantities. With this view a
smelter was built near Colville, one
near Wardner In the Cnur d'Alene
district and ANOTHER one has been
under way i'm the Kootenai district.
Recent experiments show, in nearly
every instance where smelters are
located In a mining camp, that the
cost of transportation of huxing ma
.terial necessary for smelling pur-
poses is equal If not greater than
the cost of getting the mineral to be
reduced to the plant. This causes
the treatment of ores to be very ex-
pensive, and makes the profits for
the smelling company and the mine
owner very small.
&, This disadvantage can only be
overcome by establishing plant
where several kinds of mineral can
be obtained for smelling purposes
and massed so that the combination
will form II complete charge. In
the Colville and Kootenai districts
are found large quantities of dry
ores, including iron, and in the
Coeur d'Alene district the lead or
wet ores are mined in great qunnti-
ties. These when combined with
limestone (Which is abundant here
make Il compound which Is readily
smelted. Thus it Is seen that all of
these can be easily obtained in the
yicinity of Spokane Falls. No other
city has such variety of smelt-
Ing ores in its immediate
vicinity. The present railroad
connections with nearly all the
mining districts i'm this section en-
able the shipment of all classes of
ores to this city at reasonable rates.
In many instances large bodies Of
low grade ores are found which will
not pay to ship a long distance, or
Justify the cost of building smelteri
on account of the expense of buying
and shipping the necessary fluxing
material required. AT present such
mines are virtually worthless. But
as soon as a large plant can be es-
tablished at point where all smelt-
ing ores can be reduced on paying
basis, all these low grade ores would
become valuable and salable. If
the citizens of Spokane Falls,
through the board of trade, or other
wise, would give this matter espec.
ial attention, capitalists, who now
stand ready to build a large plant,
would soon have a smelter in opera
ton, giving employment to a num-
ber of men. This would develop
the mines throughout this great
mineral belt and bring millions of
wealth to the city annually.

SEATTLE's fight against the de-
praved CLASSES within her limits is
bold and energetic. Last Sunday
one of the ministers took as his text
the prophet Isaiah's arraignment Of
the municipal authorities of Jer,lsa-
lem, as follows: "Wherefore Is IL
said ye have entered into covenant
with death and an agreement with
hell" The application of that verse
might Ike extended to cities other
than Seattle.

TRUE TO HIS CoLoRS.

There is much to admire in the
character of Judge George Turner.
He has set his eye upon the high
goal of the United States senate, and
proposes to stand by the interests of
Spokane Falls until the last gun Is
spiked. 1t il safe to say that Mr..
Turner will not allow himself to be
swerved from his high purpose. He
is not of that class of politicians
who aim at the sun in the hope of
hitting the moon.
The senatorial contest has mar
rowed down to this proposition: If
Mr.. Allen Is to be beaten, 1t is pretty
certain to be done by candidate
from Spokane Falls. The whole
fight east of the Cascade mountains
lies between Walla Walla and this
city. The REVIEW fancies that
those gentlemen from this county
who have gone to the support of Mr..
Allen will experience some difficulty
i'm the task of convincing the people
of Spokane that in opposing the
candidacy of IA republican of ability
and social and political fitness who
is fighting under the home flag, they
are acting in the best interests of
their constituency. So long us
Judge Turner has a fighting show
of success, he ought to receive the
support of his home delegation.
Then, If he fall short of election,
they will have done their duty, and
not word of censure will come
from the people of Spokane co unity.

A GREAT FIGHT,
Judge Turner Is Getting to tho Front

Judge Turner Is Getting to the Front
OLYMPIA, Wash, Nov 16.--It is first
one thing and then another in the sena-
torial question. The all absorbing topic
now is whether two senators can be
legally elected at one ballot, which, un-
til the agitation of this point began,
seems TO have been tho determination
of the Squire and the Allen men. Now
that everybody is discussing the ques-
ton, and besides 1t having been seen
that 1t is possible to give three men a
majority Of the votes cast, the adherents
of the leaders have stopped to give tho
subject thought.
Governor Squire telegraphed to John
w. Vroman Of Herkimer, N. ", for his
opinion. Mr.. Vromans answer, which
came tonight, was that the law author
lied the election of only one senator at a
time. 1t was argued by those favoring u
double ballot that Pomcroy and Lane
were chosen ut tho same ballot in Kan
sas in 1861.
