THE ECONOMY STORE
Oceans Of Dry Goods, Dress Goods,
Hats and Caps, Boots and Shoes,
Lace Curtains, Ribbons, Neck-wear,
Notions, etc.

Economy, thrift and saving is the
one great gift that stands preem-
inently above all others, that enables
the poor man or woman and those of
moderate means to most surely reach
the top Of the ladder that leads to the
possession of wealth, and nowhere is
this more fully illustrated than in the
everyday purchases Of the necessaries
Of life. 1t has been the policy of this
enterprising house to adhere to the old
adage "live and let live" to the full
letter, and by so doing they are now
reaping the benefits of this liberal pol
Icy The wonderful growth of Min
eral Point in the past few years as a
merchantile and manufacturing point
is largely due to the enterprise and in
telligent efforts Of the men who CON
duct her representive houses in every
branch Of trade. On every side we see
the colossal results Of their ability and
perseverance. In this connection it is
a pleasure to record the character and
career Of thoroughly representive
Mineral Point concern, and one which
in its particular line has distanced
all competition and won the proud po-
stion Of leader in the trade. We re-
fere to the Economy store. This
business house is one Of the largest
and best arranged in the city. They
occupy magnificent double store
which is two story and a basement
brick structure, located on High street
All of this immense space is required
for the display of their enormously
large stock Of goods, which consists of a
general line Of boots and shoes, gents
cloaks, dry goods, carpets,
etc At this establishment the latest
styles and patterns in dress goods Of
every material are constantly secured
for the inspection and choice of their
patrons, and the firm spare no labor,
time or expense in filing their shelves
with articles that cannot be eXcelled
either in novelty, quality or economy
of price. Their stock Of notions and
furnishing goods is large, varied, and
invariably shows that it has been Sc
lected with judgment and good taste
In the clothing department the goods
have been selected again with a view
to the needs and demand of their pa

MINERAL POINT
LINEN FIBER co.
An Organization with Capital Stock
of 100000.
The Preliminary Work of Construct
ing Pulp and Paper Mills Begun.

The latest acquisition to the man
ufacturing establishments of Mineral
Point, and one that will exert n
marked influence upon the material
prosperity Of the city, and which will
give employment to from fifty to
one hundred hands, is the Mineral
Point Linen Fiber Co. This company
was organized in May, 1891, with a
capital stock OF 100000, for the pur-
pose of manufacturing pulp and ma
nilla paper, The majority Of the stock
is held by local capitalists. The fol
lowing representative business men
are the officers: Phil. Allen, Jr, pres
ideut; Richard Kennedy, ylce-pres-
identi Guy Cobb, secretary; and Cal.
vert Spensley, treasurer. These gen
temen, with w. A. Jones, constitute
the board Of directors. Mr.. Tower,
the patentee Of this process, will act
as superintendent and manager. lie
Is a gentleman who has made u life
long study Of this particular line, and
by his process the making Of paper
has been simpliled to such IN extent
that, whereas, it formerly took ten
hours to cook the pulp, by his method
it Is reduced in one hour which means
the saving Of large expense. The
main building will be II brick and
stone structure, one story high and
llSxl18 feet, with wing 56xll8 feet,
in dimensions. The rooms will be high
and spacious, and will leave Is feet
in the clear. The factory throughout
will be equipped with I'LL the latest
improved special machinery known
to the paper industry and power
will be furnished by 400 horse power
boiler, with one 225 and one 5O-horso
power engine. There will also be four
l,OOO-pound beating engine, and one
Jordon relner, one llO.inch triple cyl
nder machine. This machine Is used
in the forming Of the paper The
estimated output of this factory will
be from ten to fifteen tons of pulp and
paper daily. The water for this work
VIII be supplied by five large wells,
sunk IN the sand-roclS to the depth Of
100 feet, giving an abundant supply
Of wafer as pure rs that from n
spring. No industrial enterprise of
Mineral Point has ever started with
more suspicious opening or n more
propitious future than has that Of
the Mineral Point Linen Fiber Com
pany; and, like the saying of Rip Van
Wrinkle, May she live long and pros
per, Is the wish of every citizen Of
our city.

Speaking Of a Tacoma political

respondent az Olympia writes:
Judge Calkins was unfortunate in
the selection Of the men who champ
ioned his cause. If he had scraped
Hades with a fine-tooth comb he
could not have found a worse man
than Nelson Bennett. If BULLDOG
ing and hoggishness make a politi-
clan, then Nelson Bennett is a poll
ticiau, and let the world Of politi-
clans take notice and emulate him;
but H it requires suavity, knowledge
Of practical politics, common court
esy and ability to treat men with
peliteness, then Nelson Bennett is
not a politician. Nelson BeDnett
was the leader Of that outrageous
attack upon Representative Meany
in the lobby Of the Olympian hotel
last Monday night. That he did
not cause a riot was not bis fault.
Aud yet he poses as one Of the fore
