The Gaze Breton Coal syndicate

1t is now stated that the Cape Breton
coal syndicate has raised in various ways
the sum of sci 600, 600 on the property it
has acquired. The stock issued amounts
to SlS,000,e 600, and besides this a loan Of
$4,000 900 secured by mortgage has been
obtained. The purchases made by the
syndicate represent an expenditure of
$4,000, 600. What has become of tn.
balance of -s1S, 100000? Possibly very
little of the stock is paid up, and if that
is the case the promoters have obtained
. vast franchise at very slight outlay.

The city of Berlin is absolutely cholera
proof, writes Mr.. Poultney Bigelow in
The Cosmopolitan. Besides that she dis
poses of all the sewage within her Dor
ders at a profit of 2 per cont. The two
faces belong together. The city of Ber-
lin nearly 20 years ago purchased some
thousands Of acres of fiat sand wastes
adjacent to her boundaries With these
she began the experiment of utilizing
sewage. The city was divided into dis
tricts. In each district the sewage flows
into an immense cesspool. Thence it is
removed by powerful pumping machin-
cry to the fields of the sand wastes and
spread upon them.
There are no ''barnace politicians" in
Berlin to hang on and ruin the workings
of the municipal government, Mr.. Bige-
low says. The administration of the
sewage farms is in the hands Il citizens
of the highest responsibility, and under
their management the result has grown to
be an object lesson to all the cities of the
earth. The pumps work night and day.
The lands irrigated by the sewage bitches
are cultivated in grain and vegetables.
The product is the finest by far that ap-
pears in the Berlin markets and is the
most in demand. Land about Berlin in
its natural state before the sewage irri-
CATION was applied to it was worth $182
the acre. AS soon as it is put under the
operation of the gigantic pumping works,
however, it Immediately rises in value
to $400.

AT the time of the Barring, failure in
1891 the New York banks helped the
London banks substantially in their
straits. The Bank of England is now
returning the kindness by facilitating
the movement6f gold to America. This
is partly to relieve the American money
4ringeney, partly also to enable British
merchants to get in a good stroke of
work in the way of making large pur-
chases of breadstuffs in the United
States while the price is down.

This autumn the medical department
of Johns Hopkins university will be OPEN
ed to women students on equal terms
with men. The requirements for ad-
mission to the medical school are Of
the highest grade-maintaine in this
country. The applicant to Johns Hop
kins must be a graduate of regular
college or have an education equivalent
to it. The medical course itsef, has been
heightened to four years. If this sort of
training for physicians becomes general
in America, the doctors of the twentieth
century will every one of them know
how to spell. The University o. Penn
sylyania has heightened the medical
course to four years, so also has Harvard.
All of them should demand the college
education Or its equivalent as prelimin-
airy to entrance on the physicians
course. The lack of literary training in
our medical profession has been serious
drawback hitherto.

paid no attention to him, thinking
there was some mistake, he went off to

year, the KooTENAI HERALD is ena-
bled to make several decided i'm
provements for the coming year.
1t will print an eight page paper, all
home print, and have plenty of
space to devote to heralding the fact
that Bonner's Ferry is the CONNER
cial center of the greatest mining
country on earth. The plant will
be enlarged by the addition ofsteam
power, stereotyping outfit, and
other machinery and type as its
needs require. About March 1, we
will issue a special edition giving a
general write up of the Kootenai
country. Newspapers feel hard times
Just the same as other enterprises,
and cannot do successful business
without the, backing of a number
Of enterprising, prosperous bust
ness men who advertise and give
them their printing. But with a
satisfactory year behind us and
bright prospects ahead for Bonner's
Ferry, we shall endeavor to keep the
the paper up to the highest limit
Of what its patronage, present and
prospective, justifes.

A GREAT NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE


Combination is the characteristic
of this age, and when capitalists are
combining in trusts, working men
in labor unions, and farmers in al
liances, newspapers can hardly be
blamed for joining the procession.
Mndeed it is remarkable that the
press has not led the way in taking
advantage of the power Of associa-
ton, instead Of tagging behind.
The Press Claims Company,
whose advertisement appears in an
other column and will become ia
miliar to our readers during the
coming year, illustrates the advan-
tages of cooperation on an extensive
scale. 1t is combination of hun
dreds of the leading newspapers of
the United States for the purpose of
protecting their patrons against
INSCRIPTIONS Washington claim
agents, and securing prompt, effici-
ent, and economical service to all
persons having dealings with the
Government. incidentally the COM
pany expects to make profit for
itself. 1t will secure patents and
pensions, perfect land titles, and
attend to all legitimate business Of
that kind on terms that will make
its employment necessity to claim
ants having proper regard for
their interest.
Membership in this company is
a guarantee Of the high standing Of
any newspaper, all application for
stock having been carefully consid-
cred and passed upon before allot-
ment. The company comes before
the public backed by the collective
Endorsements of over five hundred
Of the leading journals Of the Unit
ed states. That the KooTENAl
HERALD has been admitted to such
an association is a compliment
which our readers will appreciate
as highly as ourselves. We take
pleasure in recommending the Press
Claims Company to all who may
desire the satisfactory transaction
Of business in its line.
