place this very desirable institution
upon a permanent basis, the fact re-
mains that it Is still struggling. as 1t has
been in the past. upon the ragged edge
Of dire distress, with the possibility, mo-;
to say probability Of dissolution staring
its promoters squarely in the face.
The importance Of preserving the in
stitution is apparent, and requires no
argument, but just how to do this Is a
question which may not be so readily
determined. The fault, if fault there
be, is evidently not with the manage
ment, which has been able and diligent.
II is possible, but we do not desire to be
understood as being positive in the mat
ter, that change of location might be
advantageous, and result in placing the
institution upon a permanent paying
basis.
mend its removal. nor do We iiissnS %
suggest any remedy whereby this very
sick patient may be benefited, bot in
the event of a decision to try some other
location, We are quite positive that the
most desirable point in the Hills for its
relocation is Custer. 1t is possible that
we may, in the not remote future, have
the opportunity to make bid for it,
and II we should, we should leave no
stone unturned to secure it We have a
great advantage over all other towns in
the Hills in this, that We are favored
with cool climate, the finest mountain
water, and the most delightful sites for
its location to be found anywhere ont Of
doors, and in the event Of removal, let
US put our heads together with view 10
determining the most plausible plan for
securing it. What say you? Do you
want it? If so, say SO when the time
comes, and we can get it with less effort
than any town in the Hills, because we
have all the gilt edged requirements

TELLCRIUM TEST.

A very simple test to determine the
presence of tellurium in ores is as fol-
lows, all that is necessary being blow
pipe, alcohol lamp and a small quantity
of sulphuric acid: Break off a small
piece of the ore to be tested, place it in
a saucer or other small porcelain vessel,
which should be previously warmed to
prevent breaking, apply the blow pipe
until the ore is at an oxidizmg heat,
pour on few drops of the sulphuric
acid and allow it to mix with the ore, il

Immediate and will show beautiful car

ORANGE RATES
The Shipping Weight Raised From 70 to u
Pounds Por Box

ROUNDS FOR BOX
Los ANGELEI, Feb. IA
The chief topic of interest among orange
shippers is the new freight rate which was to
have gone into effect on the 18th, by which it
was proposed to charge $1.25 per 100 pounds
actual weight for oranges to all Eastern points,
instead OF S71ac per box of estimated weigh. of
70 pounds. The kick from orange growers,
shippers and dealers, both here and at the
East was so emyhatic however, that the
freight rate committee of the Transcontinental
Association at the last moment relented and
modified the order so that, instead of charging
for actual weight. boxes will be estimated at
IL pounds instead Off as heretofore. This
will increase the freight $3.50 per carload of
800 boxes. and will make gain of $40, 900 to
$40, 900 to the railroads on the seasons ship.
.ments.
The growers and shippers, while not satisfied
with the change from the old arrangement,
are, nevertheless, pleased with the concession
made by the railroads In allowing them to
ship by estimated weight, as they thus know
precisely what the weight will amount to per
box, which is great convenience. The pro-
posed blind rate was very unsatisfa C tory, and
had it gone into effect would have worked a
great hardship on the growers and shippers,
They, therefore, rejoice that they are still al
lowed the privilege of estimated weight, even
il it is in the nature of a raise.
The fruit exchange managers have their
hands full now filling the orders that are
pouring in. The demand is quite unprece-
dented for this season of the year, and unless
prolonged cold weather again set in at the
East, the crop will be moved at lively rate
from now on.
