THE statement was recently made
that palladium is the most valuable
of any of the metals except platinum.
A recent list of current prices in New
York gives the value of platinum as
somewhat more than half that of gold
with the following rates per troy
pound for metal worth more than
gold: barium, 81 ,492; calcium, So
$50; cerium, $2,798; chromium, 1868;
didymium, $3,357; erbium, $2,797;
gallium, $50, 220: glucinum, S4,476;
indium, $3.357; lanthanum, $3.50;
lithium. $3.50; niobium, $1,S65;
osmium. $3.50; palladium, 1920; rho
dunn, 81, sos; ruthenium, 81. 052; ru-
bidium, 1856; tantalum, So, 1857; tit
anium, 1921; thorium, $6.341; vana-
dunn, 80, 2O6; yttrium, 1887; zircu-
MUM, $3.50. These prices being
equivalents of quotations by the
gram, it is probable that for so large
. quantity as a pound. considerable
discount would be made.

Such Testimony as is Given by Those
Who Are Cured" at the Scott
Medical Institute.
Catarrh Followed by Incipient Con-
sumption.

That neglected catarrh will result
in consumption in many cases has
been abundantly demonstrated by
the testimony of patients who have
been cured of the first disease and
had the second arrested in time by
the physicians of the Scott Medical
Institute.
The statement of Mr.. Charles Cob

A NORTH DAKOTA MONSTER.
The Huge Pre-Adamite Relic Dug Up
by Railroad Men.

by Railroad Men.
81 have just returned from trip to
North Dakota" said James b. Hendry,
of Cincinnati lately. 81 had some
business to transact in Dickinson, a
fairly good-sized town in Stark coun-
ty, in the Western part Of the state,
on the Northern Pacific One of the
leading men of that section of the
country is Colonel ]. II. Ray. Now,
however, he stands n good chance of
becoming famous all over the civilized
world, owing to recent find of his.
He is interested in the building of a
railroad in Montana, and some time
ago his men dug up in gravel pit
near Glendive, a small Montana town,
what the colonel believes to be most
valuable relic of prehistoric times.
From its structure the relic is sup
posed to have been the back bone of
biped fully sixty feet tall. a section
of the vertebrse of human being six
feet in height was laid beside it, and
each was found to be an exact counter
part of the other, with the exception
that the relic was ten times the dimen-
sions of the human backbone. Colonel
Ray told me that the find had been
examined by mem bers of the Smithson-
ian institution and Oberlin college, and
all agreed that the discovery of the
relic was one of the most valua BILE of
lis kind ever made on the North Ameri-
can continent. The thing that bothers
Colonel Ray is what sort of individual
must it have been to possess a back
bone like thato"

Which cannot obtain, for see, with pain,
Ihave really none TO spare.

For Cupid, grieve to hear,

Though to me and to you It may seem quite new

snobomish's Smallpox Problem.

The council of Snohomish, Wash,
has been for several meetings wrestling
with the question as to whether the
city ought to furnish all smallpox
patients at the pest house with as
much whisky as they wanted at 81 per
gallon, the latter being the price
quoted on all bills thus far rendered.
The feeling prevailed that the small
pox epidemic was not likely to end
while the city furnished 81 whisky in
unlimited quantities.

A Grave Omission.

The Florence Tribune very per-
tinently remarks:
Whenever deliberativc assem-
blage Of any kind, otherwise than
partisan, gathers in the capital Of
a commonwealth, it is the univer--
sal custom to invite che chief ex-
ecutiye of the state or territory to
address the body in session, either
in words of welcome or in kindly
wishes for its work. That is o
courtesy due the position whether
the ,nan deserving of scant courte-
sy or none. In that particular the
recent statehood convention at
Phoenix committed very grave
mistake-one which it could not
very well afford. It is true the
convention was in the hands Of
Governor Hughes personal enemies
within his own party; but they
should not have forgotten the
amenities of the occasion. Men
who aspire to control the destinies
of great state are usually a little
broader than that.
The worst feature is the objec-
tion it puts in the mouth of those
Who oppose in congress the admis-
sion of Arizona. They can cite to
the committee sent on to Washing
ton, as an instance of unfitness for
statehood. this very omission Of
the convention SO sending them"

Some one has arisen TO remark
that Arizona is better off today
than it was ten years ago when sil-;
yer mining was in It's glory and
then infers that silver is not one
of our leading sources Of wealth.
The truth of the matter is that
Arizona does not contain as many
people as it did ten years ago if We
can take the vote cast IN 1883 and
that cast last fall as q basis. Tho
vote cast nine years ago for dsle-'
gate to congress was l2,342 while
