The bloomer girls have new fad,
saws the st. Louis Republic. They fire.
quently take spins on their bikes out
into the country. Farmers dogs are
unaccustomed to such means of loco
motion, and frequently run after them.
The country around ST. Louis is also
infested with Numerous tramps, who
are sometimes impudent, and to pro-
tect themselves from dogs ard tramps,
they have added the pistol pocket to
their trousers. fIow, almost every girl
who rides bicycle in regulation cos
tune, has neat ivory handled six
shooter protruding from her pistol
pocket. A young lady, who was nov
ice on the bike, went to tailor to have
her suit made. After the tailor was
through with hismeaauremonts, he ask
ed the young lady whether she wanted
them with or without" "With or
without what ?"inquired the young lady.
"The pistol pocket" was the answer.
"Do you make It where the boys carry
theirsq" was the next question. ''Yes."
with quiet little gi9gle, she replied:
"With," and Immediately went to the
hardware store to buy the gun. Our
ladies are up-to-date in almost every
thing, and we should net be surprised
to see them adopt this newest fad. It
would be quite becoming and would
command respect.

1t is the opiniou Of many mining

prospectors it should have. The indi-
cations are strongly n favor of the
opinion advanced BY them that the

may not be SO strong there is reason
to believe that The district extends
back from the canyon twenty-five
miles. The greatest distance from the
rim where development work has been
done is about fifteen miles. There are
no evidences that the gronnd south of

The refusal of the board of control

provement company until the latter
shall have executed to the territory an
indemnifying bond, guaranteeing the
completion Of the proposed irrigation
works, should meet with hearty appro-
val and go far toward esta ablishing con-
fidence in Governor McCord's admin
stration. There can be no valid OBJ
lection to leasing the labor of the
prisoners, but as under the terms of
the contract their worE is to be paid
for in water shares issued to the terri
tory, it is certainly a reasonable re-
quirement that the works be compile
ted and put in operation to insure an
intrinsic and convertible sValue to

this matter is especially gratifying, as
