How to Make the Rooms Most Attractiv,
and Pleasant.
Il is slowly dawning upon the deco
ratively inclined woman that the funda-
mental law of household beauty does not
relate to carpets, hangings, chairs or cab
inets, but TO the coloring OF tho walls.
Vain are fine rugs and etchings of ex-
quisite scenes, vain are shelves Of curioe
and divans with cushions of inviting
contour, If the walls be Of the large flow
cred variety or resemble an ancient patch
work quilt in the number of hues with
which they are covered.
There are few general principles,
says The Decorator and Furnisher, in
accordance with which the walls OF q
room may be treated 80 as to produce an
artistic result. The chief factors In de-
Gliding the color are the size of the room
and the amount of light it receives. In
rooms which face the north the north
light, which IL whitish TO blush in color,
requires that the walls be decorated in
luminous tints ranging from orange yell
low to warm red.
Rooms with a southern exposure, con-
versely, should be papered or painted in
tints ranging from greenish yellow to
blue. Rooms facing east or west should
be decorated in yellow, as east and west
lights have yellow and purple in their
composition.
A hall should be done In strong, dark
colors. while the rooms opening off it
may range from the deep, rich tints suit
able to library to the pale ones of bed
rooms and boudoirs. Pompeiian or Da-
mascus red is a good color In hall.
Russets, browns, dull yellows and tans
are also suitable For libraries rich col
ors are always desirable, as, for example,
reds, browns, golden greens and orange.
For dining rooms soft reds and browns
are good, as are also combinations of
blue or green with silver in small fig
ures Bedrooms require the paler shades
of all colors.
All walls on which pictures are to be
hung should be In solid, or almost solid,
color. No striking patterns should be
used, for it will necessarily distract the
eye from the picture. AS general rule
pictures are most effective against dark
neutral colored background.

WHITE OAKS RAILROAD,

"I still believe" said prominent bust
ness man yesterday, "that the White
Oaks road will be built, and that before
any great length of time. Though the
work may not be commenced as soon as
we have been led to believe it might be,
l have positive evidence that the Goulds
have goodly lot of surplus cash on hand
just at this time, and now is good time
to invest in permanent real estate secur-
tiles such as these stocks would be.
But one of the strongest reasons
have for the belief is that the Texas and
Pacific needs the coal that is to be had
in the White Oaks country. If the coal
fields on the Southern Pacific to the east
of us prove to be half what they now ap-
pear, the Texas and Pacifc's rival, hav-
ing its own coal and saving so much in
running expenses, will be enabled to
transport freight much cheaper than
Gould's lines at the present high price
they are paying for fuel.
"These are good reasons, it seems to
me, why the road should be built at once.
And [ shall not be surprised if General
Manager Thorne announces. when he
comes next Thursday to attend the or
ganization Of the board OF directors, that
work will begin at an early day. 1t will
be big thing for El Paso, and the busi-
ness men of the town should see to it
that these railroad men be made acquain-
ted with the situation as it is."-(Sun-

THE COST OF SILVER.

There is little wonder that the people
OF the East, who know nothing OF mining,
should be perplexed on the sill YER issue,
when the majority of their supposedly
reputable papers persist in deliberately
lying and indulging in misrepresentation
regarding the cost of producing silver,
eide the following from the Toledo Bee:
'If all reports are true the silver mine owners
of Colorado and other western states have had
veritable bonanza. 1t is confidently asserted
that in some of the mines silver ore is extracted
at the low cost of II cents per ounce, and it is
admitted that in Australia the cost Of mining
does not exceed 12la cents per ounce. Then they
have sold much of their product to the govern
ment at the rate of S5 cents to 81 per ounce, and
| more recently at 70 cents. Thus anyone can see
| at glance the enormous profits they have real
lied, and it is no longer matter of surprise
that they should raise such tremendous howl
when they are confronted with the certainty OF
this colossal revenue being taken away from
them, Even assuming" says the Dayton Jour
nal, that it costs them 25 cents per ounce to get
| their produc. to market, it is plain that they
uuheu pTOub VI FL CbubS per ounce, WHICH Is Dy
large odds the greatest return for capital AMI la
Dor known TO any manufacturing, railro ads. or
any other operative business in this country
To arrive at the cost of silver it is
grossly unfair to accept as criterion the
cost of production In some phenomenally
rich mine, such as the Mollie Gibson, for
instance. II the people of the East
would take into consideration the fact
that there are thousands Of mines running
at a loss, where there is one that is pro-
ducing silver at profit and the thous-
ands of prospectors who fail to find any.
thing where one is successful, they would
find that the cost far exceeds the present
market price. Last week the miners at
Aspen, the greatest silver producing dis
trict in Colorado, forwarded memorial
to Congress showing that the actual cost
of producing an ounce of silver in that
camp was S1.021l. And Aspen is the
home of the Mollie Gibson, too. An
Eastern paper recently quoted the famous
Bi Metallic mine of Montana, which has
paid $2,300,000 in dividends, as yielding
the White metal at the low cost of cents
The paper deliberately lied, for we learn
from Supt. j. B. Risque, of the Old Abe
mine of this city, who for six years had
the management of the Bi-metallic, that
the actual average cost was 63 cents per
ounce.
The same objection of the Bee and 9th
ers Of like ilk, might be applied to gold
mining with Just as much reason. For
instance, taking into consideration the
entire cost of development, improve.
ments and running expenses of the Old
Abe, right here at home, the average
cost of an ounce OF gold has only been
about $500, showing a clear profit OF
Sl2.00 per ounce.
If some OF the really brilliant editors
Of the East would study up on this 'cost
Of production" question we don't believe
that they would continue to make such
egregious asses OF themselves.

DOCTOR CLINTON.
Is Seat Is Declared to Be Perfectly
Safe

John SWEET. Superintendent of Public
Schools. was asked Yesterday what he Intended
TO do In the matter OF School Director Clinton's
seat. Director Clinton was granted a sixty
days leave OF absence, but did not return
before the expiration of his leave OF
absence. The code provides that no county
officer shall absent himself from the State for a
period exceeding sixty days. Director Clinton's
leave OF absence commenced on September z
and ended on November z. After this time
resolution was introduced in the board giving
Dr. Clinton thirty days, additional leave of alb
sence. This gave rise to controversy as 10
whether Director Clinton had under the law
lost his seat. Considerable speculation on the
matter has been INDUCED by School Depart
ment officials.
Wnen Superintendent SWEET was asked about
Director Clint0n's seat he SAID: ''You NAV say
that Director Clinton Is all right There has
been some talk about the doctor losing his
seat, but do not think there will be any con.
test. There Is soma doubt about the law but
should there be anything said about Director
Clinton losngJhis seat / will Immediately re-
appoint him, and think that all of the direc-
tors will vote for his retention"
Director Clinton Is expected TO arrive In the
city within few days from his European trip,
and will be on hand TO take his seat at the next
meeting.
The statement of Superintendent SWEET is the
first positive and authoritative one (which in
sures DR.. Clinton his place as School Direc-
tor, though some tine ago Superintendent
Sweet who has the power of appointing a sue
cessor, informed CALL reporter he would not
take any advantage OF DIR. ClntOn's absence,
but would give him reasonable grace.

will recall host of memories to the minds

Ned MCGOWAN was one of those ad-
venturous spirits who came in search of
gold and fortune in the new Californian
FL Dorado of 1849. and as such he had iD-
cidents In his career that were turbulent
and picturesque. At one time. when So
ciety was still in chaotic state in Califor-
MIA, his inclinations led him into posi-
ton that made Ned McGowan's a promi-
nent name in the history of San Francisco.
1t was in no enviable light, however.
that be showed himself in the exciting
times Of the Vigilance Committee. Given
