Now to Make Altar OF Roses.

Directions for arranging a rose
potpourri prove of special interest
each year as June brings its wealth
of fragrant rose leaves, but still
more worthy of yearly repetition is
the home manufacture of a delicate
perfume almost as acceptable as the
high priced altar of roses. To make
this use the fragrant petals of flow
ers of the same season. Roses and
jasmine, with small quantity of
sweetbriar and mignonette, make a
nice mixture. There must be a
greater quantity of rose leaves than
of all the others together.
Spread the petals on a layer of
cotton, which has been dipped in
the finest Florence or Lucca oil, and
sprinkle over them little fine salt.
Lay on another sheet of cotton and
add petals and salt as before; repeat
this, with layer of the oiled cotton
between each layer of petals, until
you have filled china bowl or a
wide-mouthed jar. Tie a bladder
closely over all and place the ves-
sci in the sun; if under a garden
forcing glass all the better. In about
fifteen days remove the bladder and
squeeze the cotton and petals, when
a fragrant oil will be expressed re-
sembling the high-priced altar Of
roses sold by, druggists. The bottle
into which this oil is squeezed must
be corked up Immediately. A bottle
with glass stopper is best for the
purpose. If cork is used, tie piece
of bladder over it.

If you favor more money you are

THE TRANS-MIShI@SlPPa CON.
MERCHAL CONGREsS
Ninth Annual Session to be Convened d
at Halt Lake City, Utah, July 14th,
1897.

1897.
Although William Jennings Bry-
an failed in his election as Presi-
dent of the United States, he still
retains his position as executive Of
ficer of great commercial organi-
zation, which is second only in i'm
portance to the National Congress.
This is the Trans Mississippi Com
mercjal Congress. which will hold
its ninth annual session in Salt
Lake City, Utah, July 18th Of this
year. 1t will be a notable gather
ing of western statesmen and will
comprise governors and ex-govern-
ors, present members and ex- mem
bers of the National Congress, and
the most prominent and influential
men of s-mississippian territory
to the number of one thousand, ex.
elusive of the ladies who are expect
ed to accompany them.
The objects of the Trans. Mississ-
ippi Congress are to secure such
national legislation asshall promote
the interests of the states and terri
tories lying west of the Mississippi
river; to increase reciprocal trade
among them; to cultivate a frater-
nal feeling among the various COM
mercial bodies represented; to bring
together, each year, the prominent
and influential members OF these
widely scattered communities, in
order that their views may be known
and discussed, with the purpose of
uniting upon such recommendations
and plans as seem best calculated
to promote the general welfare.
IT.
It's sessions are held once each
year at some prominent city west of
the Mississippi river, attended by
delegates appointed as follows:
The Governor of any State or
Territory may appoint ten dele
gates; the Mayor of each city one
delegate, and an additional delegate
for each five thousand inhabitants;
provided, however, that no city
shall have more than ten delegates;
each county may appoint one dele
gate through its executive officer;
every business organization one
delegate, and an additional delegate
for every fifty members; provided,
however, that no such organization
shall be entitled to more than ten
delegates.
At these meetings any quesClon
affecting the welfare of the territory
represented may be introduced and
discussed, and any resolutions
adopted are regarded as expressive
of the sentiments of the Congress,
and are used to influence National
legislation in favor of them.
OF all the efforts that have been
made In the last twenty years to
force an acknowledgment upon the
people of the East of the wonderful
resources Of the West, it is doubtful
ifapy have been so far reaching and
as beneficial in effect as has this
commercial and fraternal organiza-
ton. II is composed of the repre-
sentative men Of every county and
city and trade body Of the twenty
four states and territories west OF
the Mississippi river. This Con

the commercial necessities of over
twenty millions of people. 1t affords
the only chance, outside Of the rep
resentation it has in the National
Congress, of making its great needs
known in Legislative way to the
remaining fifty millions Of United
States citizens. It is u commercial
educator, and with indomitable per-
severance during the past ten years
Fit has dinned into the perceptions
of the East a great part of the
knowledge the East possesses of
western energy and wonders, and
forced a recognition of western
rights and privileges that otherwise
might never have been accorded.
To one observant of the measures
that have been introduced in the
National Congress of late years it
is surprising and should be most
gratifying to the members of the
Trans Mississippi Commercial Con-
gress that SO many. had their origin
in its sessions. The Nicaraguan
canal project; the Hawaiian cable;
3
Hawaiian annexation; deep water
harbors on Pacific Coast and in
Gulf of Mexico; coast defence and
protection; improvement and deep
ening ofrivers;. ocean mail subsid
les; admission of territories to state
hood; appropriation for government
buildings; preservation of forests;
reservoir reservations; returning
Indian reservations to public do
main for entry; irrigation projects
and financial bi-metallic questions
have been prominent in its discus
sion. The great Trans Mississippi
exposition, which is to be held at
Omaha in 1898, had its inception
here; resolutions that have led to
the cultivation of special agricul-
tural products, and that have given
inception to railroad, canal and
shipping projects, also originated
here. g.
The Trans Mississippi Congress
during its nine years of existence
has steadily gained in Importance
and acquired such influence that it
is now regarded as the representa-
tive commercial body of Western
America. At the eighth annual con-
vention OF the Commercial Congress
held in Omaha, November 28th,
1895, Hon. Geo. @. Cannon, presid-
ing, resolutions were presented for
holding the next session at Des
Moines, Iowa; Boise City, Idaho;
Portland, Oregon; Salt Lake City,
Utah; Nashville, Tenn, and Hot
Springs, South Dakota. An elect
ion resulted in comforting the favor
upon Salt Lake City by unanimous
vote. The advisory committee had
planned holding the Congress dur
ing last September, but the nomi-
nation of its president, Mr.. Bryan,
by the Democratic party, for Presi-
dent of the United States, necessi-
tated a postponement until this year.
California, Colorado, Missouri,
Nebraska, Louisiana and Texas
have in turn borne the expense and
have Hospitality and bounteously
entertained the previous sessions.
The Utah State Legislature has pro-
vided the necessary means to de-
fray the expenses Of this one, and
the Executive Committee Of Utah
are determined to outdo all previous
efforts in hospitality and in further
ing the interests of the Congress.
AS this Congress will be held dur
ing the fayorite tourist month; at q
point the most lovely of all in the
Lyon County times. [volume] (Silver City, Nev.) 1874-1907, 1897-05-15
Jones' strategy.

Jones' new suit fit beautifully,
but he was $40 shy on the price. He
needed the clothes badly, but his
tailor was decidedly disinclined to
part with it till it was paid for.
After lying awake all night revolv-
ing in his mind various schemes
old and new to get possession of the
coveted attire, Jones evolved bril-
liant idea. He put on a high collar
two sizes too large for him. went to
his tailor and tried on the coat
again. Ofcourse it did not fit around
the collar and would have to be let
out. The next day he put on
collar half a size too small and tried
it on again. The collar of the coat
bulged out in the back as if it had
been constructed for the neck of q
pugilist.
Il can't wear that thing" declar-
ed Jones. ut does not fit at all"
"No, it does not seem to-" admit
ted the tailor.
you've tinkered with it now till
you have nearly ruined it. guess
I don't want it."
well, III tell you what I'll do"
proposed the tailor, who did not
want misfit left on his hands.
"I'll knock off $5 on the price"
Don't want o suit that don't fit,"
declared Jones.
"Well, I'll make it $10"
MAKE it $3.50 and I'll take it,"
"All right, but / lose money on
it at that"
Jones paid another tailor 81 to
have the collar altered, paid for his
suit and had $3.50 with which to
"wet it."

one-half of my life in the country or
country towns. living sixty miles from
any town during the first nine years
was in California, and have seen more
of the inner life of the country in several
states that most men.
In the widest of the backwoods where
almost everything about the house ex-
cept the matches and the window glass
was home made, where people had no
money and no need of any, on the
prairie before civilization invaded it
with it's line of gimcracks, and even in
intimate acquaintance with country life
that can be got only by staying at places
and on hunting trips, and 1 protest
against this idea as utterly false. say
that the man who can sit down in his
shirt sleeves and harpoon potatoes and
meat of his own raising before he has
fairly touched the chair is in every way
happier man than the wretch whom
fate has condemned to dress in swal-
low-tail coat to sit down to a dinner
that he may not be able to pay for If
the market goes wrong, who don't dare
take his seat until liveried waiter
shoves chair under him, and who can
get nothing to eat until a swell cook
decides that the requisite number of
minutes have elapsed since he began to
warm that chair.
I claim that the man who can enjoy
beer and sauerkraut Is far more lucky
than the man who can buy turkey and
champagne. We all know he would eat
sauerkraut if it's origin were more styl-
ish and if beer were 81 bottle and cham
payne two bits, we know too we'll wha
would line the table at the rich mans
banquet. We have substituted style for
nature in too many things and then
envy those who conform to it. We
even go farther, and quietly as
sumo that every one who puts
on style is rich and therefore to be en-
WED, whereas we ought to know that
most Of those who do so are mere gen.
teel deadbeats aping the rich at the ex-
pense of tradesmen and friends.
In the long and severe depression that
followed the panic of 1857 it was said
the farmer was the most Independent
man alive. He really was so then, for
he smiled at the ruin around him. The
merchant had to earn money to buy his
food, but the farmer had his on his farm.
1t has been very much so in the present
depression. So far as we can see every
one has lost by it. If any one has made
money out of the hard times it is not
very apparent. Even the sugar trust
would have made more had the times
