IT will be seer that the city coun-
Gil has passed ar ordinance exempt
ing firemen in number to the limit
prescribed by law from poll tax.
This allows three companies Of IA
members each to enjoy that privilege,
and should certainly tend to encour-
age those now having membership
to remain faithful to their trust. A
well organized fire department in Il
town where wateris supplied in such
power and abundance ought to be
able to stand off almost any kind o.
a conhagration.

SURELY CANNOT LAST.

SILVER and silver men are in hard
luck. The price of the metal, which
for eighteen months has been gradu-
ally falling, took it's headlong
plunge on the 9th and 2Sth inst.
When it is said the British Indian
mint was closed. The price fell in
those two days from 81 "a to 81
cents per ounce, which mean there
is no market for it, as there is not a
silver mine in the world a operate
at that figure. Men who have
cherished the hope that the crisis
might finally be averted, men who
believe in the sure and eventual
righting of all wrongs and men who
have accustomed themselves to look
on the bright side of everything,
might have been seer on those ter
rible days walking with downcast
ewes and lips tight-drawn which be-
traved an inward reflection of the
fearful forecast.
Never before has this camp looked
better, or been in more perfect con-
dition for onward development.
Seven mines wese already self sus-
tanning, with prospects bright that
others would also join the ranks of
paying properties. One hundred
cars of ore every month were sent
out for reduction. And the steadi-
ness of every movement of the great
industrial wheels was already an OBJ
ject of great admiration. The long
line of dinner pals that went regul-
arly on and off shift was a sight
which provoked the highest of good
feeling.
But why should we give suddenly
away to disappointment. That a
welcome change will come could not
be more sure. A turn for silver will
be necessary or the financial centres
of the world will be shaken. Let us
hope that the turn will come soon
Darker times than this have over.
Swallowed a nation. A stout
heart and a patient mind Ear outride

There are certain things which the

duced to $40.
CHICAGO, June 27.-The Northern Pa
cifc has announced an all-rail route
from San Francisco to st. Paul of $45
first class and $40 second class. This
is a cut in the first class rate of $40, and
$3.50 in the second class. 1t is now
more than likely that serious troubles
will grow out Of the present condition
of affairs and that a war will be the in
evitable outcome. The Southern Pa.
cific has requested its Eastern connec
tions to join it in making rates equal to
those put into effect by the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific and il
it succeeds in winning them over to its
way of thinking the Union Pacific will
be dragged into the row, and it will
then be almost an impossibility to pre-
vent the Generalization from spreading
east of the Missouri river.

THE VICTORIA DISASTER.
Official Statement Of the Loss of Life
Thereby.

LONDON, June GA number of ques.
tions were asked by members of the
house of M during the day re-
garding the laundering of the Victoria.
Replying to these questions, the Rt.
Hon. U. X. Shuttleff. secretary to the
admiralty, said there was reason to
hope, from kilograms received from the
British consul general at Tripoli, that
the number of persons drowned by the
sinking of the ship would be under the
estimates at first made. Some of the
men belonging to the Victoria had
been detached temporarily from that
vessel and detailed for duty on other
vessels of the fleet during the maneu-
vers. These men had, of course, es-
capped. So far as now ascertained the
lost numbered $50, comprising % Off
GERS and 1913 men. The saved number
2S7, including rs officers and 261 men.

Benefit of Good Rode.

One of the best arguments for good
roads is contained in a calculation re-
Gently published in n of the engineer
ing papers. 1t stated that on the worst
earth roads-not muddy, but sandy-a
horse can draw only twice as much as
he can carry on his back; ON a fair earth
road, 81 times as much: on a good mac.
ladamized road, 0 times as much; on a
smooth plank road, 25 times as much; on
a stone trackway, SO times as much, and
Ion metal rails, "a times as much. The
men who use the country roads can
therefore make money by improving the
roads rather than by buying new horses
every year or two.
