Be formed for the construction Of strictly
branch sewers. In order that this may be
done an amendment to the charter will
doubtless be necessary. If any district is
SO thickiy settled as to require sewer con-
nection there should be some way of max
ing the owners ofunimprovedp property pay
their share of the expense. 1t is doubtful
If this can be done under the provisions of
the charter now in force relative TO local
improvement districts.
The question in all its details is com.
piIcated one, and the council should seek
for q solution that will be just and at the
same time practicable. They should con.
stantly bear in mind, however, the fact
that in almost every city in the country
branch sewers are constructed BY the or
ganization of local improvement districts
and not ont of the general fund of the city.

Mormonism. q modern religious i'm.
posture. has lasted sixty.three years. Forty
years ago the foundation of tho Mormon
temple was laid, by Brigham Young at
Salt Lake City and the completed edifics
has recently been dedicated. This temple
has cost s., OOo. 900. The founder Of Nor
monism. Joseph Smith. was an nliterate,
cheap, unprincipled man, but his disciples
included one man of remarkable genius
for social leadership, civil organization
and administration. Brigham Young, to
whose brains are due the building up Of
desert Utah into q prosperous territory.
Mormonism was in its faith moth ing but q
gross imposture born of ignorance and
craft. but using its dupes to execute his
will. Brigham Young placed his name on
the list of able founders Of states. Polyg-
amy is going. if not nearly gone fl Utah,
and with its extinction Mormonism can.
not long survive

itselfon the exposure of the puget sound

strongly enough the fact that Portland
and San Francisco cuatoms officials let
the coolies and opium in. # tho Puget
sound customs force were doubled it
could not stop the shipment of Chinese
and opium from Victoria and Vancouver
to Portland and San Francisco. The Gus
toms officers in the latter cities are notified
Of shipments, but take no action. 1t is
not above suspicion that the San Francisco

Every good thing has its host of imitators;
every genuine article its counterfeits The
imitators always choose the most valuable
and popular article to counterfeit, so that
when they claim their sham to be equal, or as
good, or the same as "So-and-So's,' the
public may depend upon it that "So'and-So's"
article is the best of the kind. The sham
proves the genuine merit of the thing it copies
and never has this been better illustrated
than by the limitations of Allcock's Porous
Plasters. Allcock's Porous Plasters are the
standard of excellence the world over and its
imitators in their cry that theirs is 'as good
as Allcock 5" are only emphasizing this fact
and admitting "Allcock's" to be the acme of
perfection, which it is their highest ambition
to initiate. The difference between the
genuine and these limitations, which copy
only general appearance, is as wide as that
between copper and gold, The only safe way
for purchasers is to always insist upon having
Allcock's Porous Plasters. They are the
only perfect plasters ever produced.
