Advertise all the time. Don't think
that '97 advertising will do for '9S also,
There are too many others pushing their
business to give any one advertiser q

Cuban conditions are as frightful as
war and famine can make them, and the
generous heart Of this nation must re-

crying outrage that the people of the

starving Cubans while Spain throws her
treasure into war as unholy as any

The state supreme court last week
handed down an opinion in the case OF
Arthur Brown, appellant, w. George v.
Bryan and George W. Venable. The
opinion is of particular interest, as it
definitely lays down the doctrine that q
trust deed in this state must be fore
closed as a mortgage. This has been
the opinion Of leading members of the
Shoshone county bar for some years. A
trust deed is practically no deed at ALL

1t is firmly believed by bimetallists,

form great majority Of our people, and
that if all the bimetallists will unite on

A few weeks ago when q number OF
the people in and near Colfax took the
law into their own hands and lynehed a
murderer serious reflections were cast
upon the residents of that vicinity. The
sentiment that found expression in that
act, however, was not, in our humble
opinion, half as dangerous as the disloy-
atty shown by several citizens of that
town who, about q week ago, publicly
endorsed the Justification towards the
United States government voiced by Ed
ward Boyce and Judge Richardson, Of
Spokane. 1t is a fortunate condition for
this country that the Boyces and the
Richardson's are largely in the minority.

The experiment OF bringing reindeer
into this country to be used in Alaska is
likely TO prove a sorry failure. Some
body acted very hastily in the matter.
The moment the bill was passed by con-
Eress an agent in LaplaDa was cabled TO
secure the animals. They have been
purchased and shipped to the United
States, with a lot Of natives to act rs
drivers. Since the order was given for
the purchase it has been discovered that
. reindeer cannot travel any better in
Alaska than a mule. 1t may be good
thing to add these animals to the herd
in Alaska, as they are hardy and may
be useful hereafter, but for the purposes
oil the relief expedition they are not
likely to be Of any particular advantsgs.
