Will Become a Miner.

The Journal Press of Wednesday
has the following to say with
reference to Geo. w. vogel the we'll
known insurance man:
Geo. w. Vogel, who left here Feb.
8, returned last night from. the
Pacific slope, having been gone about
six weeks. He and Mr.. l.. S.Thomas
have bought eleven placer mines on
the Sultan river near Sullivan City,
Washington. These mines are about
fifty miles above Seattle and are
situated near the Great Northern
line. Mr.. Voegl is very enthusiastic
over his gold mines, believing that
they are very rich in gold after hav-
ing experimental and thoroughly
examined them. In these placer
mines the gold is panned. He
obtained 4S "colors" to the pan.
Unlike the quartz mines which re-
quire an Investment OF $4,000 to
work them, these can be successfully
worked, he says, with q capital nj
seven or eight hundred dollars, and
require the work of only three men.
He will return in June or July to
reside permanently upon the golden
shores of the Pacific While on the
slope he saw DR.. Beebe and his
brother, having visited Los Angeles,
Santiago and Travelled from Southern
California to Washington. He says
the slope is nowi just recovering from
the reaction which followed the
excessive booming about Ave years
ago. Tn his way back he visited
Salt Lake City and was surprised
at the grandeur and magnificence vi
the Mormon temple and tabernacle.
The temple will be dedicated April
3, after having been fifty years in the
course III construction. It is onG oi
the most magnificent structures tile
world has ever known, having with
the tabernacle, cost about $5, 600, tlOt).

THE DAILY TRANSCRIPT.
Gives All the News Week Before the
Weeklies.

The subscription list of the DAILY
TRANSCRIPT is increasing rapidly and
before June !, we expect to have a
circulation OF at least 700 in the city.
The people appreciate a daily paper
which contains all the news, and from
the number of names placed on our
books within the past week we
Judge that the DAILY TRANSCRIPT is
that paper.
All the latest telegraphic news is
published about 4 O'Clock every
afternoon except Sunday.
AS to local matters, a full and
complete account is given in each
issue. For instance the murder trial
of last week, the testimony was
given in full each day as was also
the Judges charge to the jury, and
our readers were as we'll posted on
the matter as if they had been il,
court all of the time. In about one
hour after sentence was passed ou1
readers had received the paper
announcing the fact, In this one
case about fifteen columns of reading
matter were given. This complete
account was also published in the
WEEKLY TRANSCRIPT while some
OF the weekly papers merely men.
toned it.
The city election held on Tuesday
was reported in full the following
day, and the vote on each candidate
given.
We have just put ON severa
additional carriers and the DAILY
TRANSCRIPT is delivered to all parts
of the city.
AS an advertising medium it can
not be surpassed. The rates are low
considering the large circulation il
the city.
Now is the time to advertise if you
wish to catch your share of thu
spring trade.

Truly ShOckinRi

The science and art of buying the
votes of Legislatures, municipal councils
and boards Of education are infinitely
laid down in The Forum by one who has
either tried it himself or is close kin to
somebody who has. He speaks by the
book. If city governments had no con-
tracts to award, boards Of education
no textbooks to buy. legislatures no fat
jobs to let out, then there would be no
corruption. the writer says. His name
Is not given. From the nature of his ex-
ceedingly interesting information one
can readily see that his modest reserve
is reasonable. but the information is so
plain that the mere tyro can follow it's
suggestions and go out at once and buy
up whole board.
Every legislative or municipal body is
composed of members who can be CLASH
fed as follows with reference to their
purchasability. says The Forum: One
third of them can be bought outright
with no trouble at all and are ready to
sell out to the highest bidder. The only
danger is that they.will not stay bought,
but will sell their votes to any rival
firm OF contractors who offer them a
higher price. A second third do not like
exactly to sell their votes and generally
occupy respectable position in society,
but they are weak and often deeply in
debt, and of course fall victims to the
vote buyer later if they do not sooner.
The remaining thlrd will vote as they
think best always. and cannot be pur-
chased. 1t will be seen that unfortu-
nately the members who are pure hasable
are in the majority, according to this
classification, The surest remedy against
municipal corruption is to elect no man
to office who is III debt. the Forum
writer says.
The persons who desire to. buy votes
are mostly the agents Of manufacturing
firms-those making waterworks ma
chinery. bridges, pavements, etc., and
in case of school boards the runners
] LII CCACOOOhOs p1VOAL uCSA0 1Au 0OAOOA-
room furniture. The agents all agree
on the degree of purchasability Of va
rious classes Of men, The leaders of
workingmen's and farmers political
movements can be placed on the list of
men who can be bought without trouble.
It is to be inferred that the writer has
some spite at such leaders and takes this
method of paying it off. A politician
who makes profession of religion is not
thereby prevented from selling his vote,
though he is slier about the manner OF
it, the writer continues.
This shocking and dreadful man goes
on to say that farmers in politics fall an
easy prey to social attentions, while
preachers in politics must be bought by
indirect methods

The governors Of both these splendid
territories present in The North Ameri-
can Review their respective claims to be
admitted as states into the Union. The
presentation is so clear and forcible in
each case that, after reading them, one
is constrained to ask, Why are not New
Mexico and Arizona admitted to state
hood?" The closing thrust of Governor
John N Irwin of Arizona is driven home
as follows: More ignorance is natural
lied, more crime is sworn into citizen
ship and more unftness made into vot-
ers in New York and Chicago every year
than there is in the entire Mexican vote
Of Arizona"
The qualifications for statehood are
these, according to Governor Irwin: A
people intelligent enough, population
numerous enough and financial strength
and resources enough to sustain a state
government. These requisites are pos
sessed by both territories. By the census
of 1890 New Mexico had a population Of
1885, 76, not counting Indians This is
49, 900 more than Delaware has at pres
ent, and three times as many as Nevada.
kNew Mexico has at present not less
than 100000 inhabitants The assessed
value of property in 1891 was $45, 329, 563.
Further, Governor L. Bradford Prince
of New Mexico tells us that this territory
has greater natural resources, and
greater variety Of them, than any state
now in the Union. She has all the
vegetable and mineral productyeness of
California, and almost limitless beds of
anthracite and bituminous coal besides.
Both the territories have good public
school systems supported entirely by
voluntary taxation, since until they are
admitted as states no public school land
grants can be made to them by congress.
Three times enabling acts have been be-
fore congress to make a state of New
Mexico, and once the act passed both
houses and only failed for want of time
for the senate to concur in a slight
amendment. New Mexico has been a
territory 43 years this 1898.
Arizona Undoubtedly now contains
rore than 10000 people" the census CIV
ing her SO, $40 in 1890. Women vote at
school elections. Her mines produced
50, 700, 900 in ore last year, and she has
$4,000, 900 worth Of live stock and oyer
1000 miles of railway. The soil pro-
duces all that grows in the northern
states and the semitropical fruits be-
sides.

ANTI.SALOON SENTIMENT GROW.
mo

There is Enthusiastically growing
sentiment in the country against the
saloon. Its evils have long been
apparent, its burden has long been
felt, both in its effect on the moral
life of the people, and economically.
There have been many plans proposed
for Kidding the nation of this drain
upon its resources, but nearly all have
failed of lasting results. With these
failures sentiment has become stronger
that the question of saloon abolish
ment must be left with the people,
instead of with the state. When the
public conscience becomes aroused,
then, in most instances, the saloon
has to 70.
The spring elections held in the
East a few days go,bring this question
into prominence. Out of 70 towns in
Massachusetts, only Is voted for
license. Here we have the prohibition
sentiment backed by majority of the
people, and brought before the people
in manner that fixes responsibility
in more marked manner that when
state votes for prohibition. But one
Of the most interesting anti. saloon
victories was at Ithaca, N. Y, city
Of several thousand population, and
the seat of Cornell university. The
battle was fierce, but the temperance
forces won by majority Of 1877, the
first notable no.saloon victory in a
large city.
There was union of forces in the
Ithaca contest. The temperance
sentiment of all parties united, and
the result was success. The saloon,
fight is at last coming to the cities
and it may not be long before Mime
apolis will be called upon to settle
the question of saloons or no saloons.
If the figures given by a correspondent
in The Journal Saturday are ue,and
there is no reason to doubt them
Minneapolis could we'll afford to let
the saloon 60 on the matter Of
finances alone. Public sentiment is
surely crystalizing against the saloon
in manner that is practical, because
results are being produced by local
option, and results are preferable to
theories.-Minneapolis Journal.

HOW TO DRESS THE HAIR.
Ideas and Suggestions Suitable For 4
Focos orI S<11os

Ideas and Suggestions Suitable For All
. Faces and Styles.
Ladies of taste do not pile the hair in
coils and puffs on the top of the head,
but arrange it at the; back in graceful,
long shaped twists. This suits most faces
admirably, as it softens hard features
and emphasizes delicate ones, though it
is whispered by those in authority that
these modest coils are only the forerun-
ners Of large chignons, such as were dis
played by the bellies of 20 years ago.
May the day never come when women
will again allow their heads to be dis
figured with these monstrosities, which
absolutely ruin the natural growth of the
hair.
One should always be careful to dress
the hair in a style which will harmonic
with the contour of the head and shape
of the features, thus insuring an appear
ance which is never obtained unless the
hair is carefully and becomingly ar
ranged. Indeed this is a detail which
marks well dressed woman, and with
out which the most elaborate toilet looks
dowdy and incomplete. The band called
the fillet should serve to bind the hair
against the head. Fillets were used when
there were no hairpins, and they will be
more graceful now if made part of the
hairdressing instead of mere ornaments
It you wish to secure the Greek effect,
discard hairpins. Braid the hair loosely,
! starting little above the nape of the
neck, and pass your fillet about the head
and over the braid, looping it up little.
The end of it hangs against the neck and
comes undonc as it chooses. If the start
of the braid bulges and is not pretty, put
another band around to hold it in place.
The hair at the sides is pulled very loose,
or the short locks are pulled from under
the fillet and are drawn back loosely over
it. Almost all the Greek ways are mod.
ifcations Of this method, and all depends
upon the looping of the hair through the
bands of the fllets, which should not be
too tight.

The Government Gold Reserve Fund.
Matthew Marshall recapitulates the
history of the 100000 400 gold fund in

The fact is, and it cannot be too strongly i'm,

the reissue of the redeemed legal tenders, NJ:
Sherman cOntrfved q scheme for making them

The amount OF this fund he arbitrarily fixed
at 40 per cent of the 34G,0O0,cOO legal tenders
which were outstanding on Jan. l, 1879, or say
$14O,O0O.m, and he actually had at that date
this amount of gold in tlie treasury vaults. He
procured S95, 500 GOO Of It by selling bonds, and
The rest he saved out Of the surplus customs
revenue, which thep had to be paid in gold.
His successors continued bis policy, and thus
this SO called reserve fund in process Of time
came to be accepted as a permanent institution,
and to be spoken of as such. In 1852 section
was inserted in the act for extending the char
tiers of the national banks. in which the fund
created by MI. Sherman is described as being
reserved for the redemption of the legal ten
