Grant county is right ia IL with
New York city on the ice trust busl-
ness. 10 New York the ice trust Ia In
the hands OF Tsmmany men, the dem.
ocratlc push Of the town, and the
price Of ice was doubled. In Grant
county the ice trust Is also managed
by the democratic politicians, but In
stead Of increasing the price OF the
ice they have cheapened It's quality,
aud Kept the price at the old mark.
Like the democratic party Of the
county the ice trust has its head
quarters 10 DeminR. Instead OF
Mayor VanWicR IL has John r. John
son, a democratic politician, at its
head. In order to force It's ice ON the
people of this section Of the county
the Ice trust sen a representative here
IN the spring and eudeavored TO make
an arrangement with Z. G. Belt who
handles the ice business here, to buy
ice Of the trust. Belt belongs TO the
antitrust section Of the democratic
party, and refused TO buy, as be could
get better ice at the same figure. The
ice trust man then began canvassinp
the town for customers, aud offered t.
deliver ice here at a price less than
Belt could buy it,. lie got orders
from enough customers so that there
was practically no business left, then
told Belt If he did not buy from the
ice trust he would supply the town.
Belt had to come down, and make ar.
engagements with the trust, and has
handled its ice this summer. The ice
be gets from the trust, although made
from Deming water Is the poorest ice
ever brought TO town. A cake Of it
consists of an ont side covering of ice
this is hlled with slush ice, and there
is generally a large hole 10 the center
of the cake, the water not having
been. left in the machine long enough
to freeze to the center. This week be
needed a new supply of ice, aud Of
course ordered 1t from the ice trust,
and was four or 1--we days getting it.
In the meantime his supply had given
out, aud be had to pay express charges
on ice TO supply his customers. The
ice furnished by the trust costs the
same as ice could be delivered here
from Ell Paso, and the El Paso ice is Of
the best quality and would last several
times as long. Mr.. Belt, being a good
democrat, is more opposed to trusts
than ever, since he has been squeezed
by this one. In Deming the local ice
trade is supplied by John Corbett,
who has handled the local trade for
many years. Corbett is in the same
plight as is Belt. He has not made
any great roa about the trust, and il
is not known whether he is in 1t, or is
gIitting his teeth, and swearing under
his breath. The ice trust is a great
institution, but L%ordsbu.g has enough
of 10.

shaft which long had been abandoned.
AT the depth OF thirty-ave feet they

feet wide. They took a sample Of it
which was sent to the Ell Paso smelt-
ing works for analysis, 1t was found
to contain thirty per cent Of copper
and six and eight tenths ounce OF

enough but as the fastenings are strengthened
only at long intervals the traveller is sometimes
hurled into the gorge beneath. Mr. Cobbold
narrowly escaped this fate, and only saved
when the path broke beneath his weight by
the exertions of his native guides, who let down
their unwound turbaus from above and SO gave
him something to grasp in a slow crawl to
safety.
Mr. Cobbold gives us a picturesque sketch of
u Chinese Taotai. Governor, in Kashgar, rid
ing forth from the seclusion of his yamen TO the
firing of guns and the sounding of trUmpets, and
preceded by number of sandwich men carry
ing placards. which are inscribed his numer-
Gus titles But we are more concerned with
what he has to say about the presence of Eng
lsh and Russians in the regions he traversed.
His conclusion in a nutshell is that the English
are honest III their dealings with the natives
that the Russians vicious and despotic
but that the latter at present possessed of
far more influence than their rivals. For ex-
ample. the British agent in Kashgar is handi-
capped not only by a natural indisposition TO
fraternize with the native after the Russian
fashion, but his home Government refuses to
accredit him to the Taotai in fitting style Con-
suar rank is denied him. he cannot even wear
a inform. and this latter point which may
seem trivial to Western readers is almost more
important than the former When the Russian
representative goes to visit the TaOtai he bears
the title of Consul-General and marches in
gorgeous array. The natives are impressed
But while some of the omissions of the English
in the construction of their Asian policy might
be repaired with profit the points on which they
differ most radically with their Russian rivals
are OF a nature quite beyond any administra-
tive reform We may cite IN Illustration one
of Mr.. Cobbods most piquant anecdotes:
One day 1 had an interesting opportunity of
seeing how the Russian conduerors treat their
subject races. L happened to be at the con-
sulate In kaShSar when Andij JAM merchant
called on some business, and was promptly IN

wailing that could hear it for miles On
the whole Mr.. Cobbold's report Of the condition
of women i'm the Pamirs makes unpleasant
reading. There is something more engaging in
his story of the old Krghiz who had trained an
enormous eagle to do his hunting for him The
bird killed many foxes for his owner in the
course of the year and it asserted that 1t
could also bring down "Ovis POli' and hex, but
the author is unwilling TO vouch for this There
are some interesting notes the native ways
of bridging streams and making practicable
paths around mountain side. The bridges are
built by anchoring one end of a heavy log on
the bank and then fastening others to the pro-
iecting end each log reaching a little
further out over the stream. The fabric being
duplicated on the other side of the river, pres
emily the points Of the two are near enough to-
gether for a foOtpath of withes and boughs to
be flung across and securely bound The paths

region, and in his observations the manner
in which England and Russia are playing their
political parts delicate ground. With text
and picture ne makes us better acquainted with
places and peoples around which a comparative
ly small body of literature has thus far gath
cred. He tells Us how the natives of that remote
country will cure pony that has eaten poison

methods of the official who decides to organize
a horse for the edification of the people

belong to him. Awarding to himself the first
and second prizes that have been made up by
general subscription, he marches off with a
benignant smile, amid the plaudits of the spec
tators. Life is simple enough in Asia.
At Kashgar Mr. Cobbold saw the tomb of the
maiden who, according to the legend. was sent
to the Emperor of China The Kashgarians for
warded such a gift every year. This time the
girl sighed for her native land and the EN-
peror permitted her return giving her box
of sweets to open when she entered the town.
AT the proper moment she opened the box ate
some of the sweets and Immediately expired
The contents of the box had been poisoned.
This anecdote leads Mr.. Cobbold to describe
some of the social customs Of Kashgar Mar

in fact, when the wedding takes place a divorce
contract is also signed. Mr.. CObbod found one
girl of sixteen who told him she had already
been married twelve times And yet" he adds.

The classics have 4 curious way of coming
out on top We referred last week to the
pressure of war books, khaki books" as
the LondonerS call them on the literary market.
The sad plight of the miscellaneous authors of
the day remains unchanged. But the news
comes that the sale of classical English litera-
ture has been little affected by the war depres-
sion" Scott and Dickens 90 on selling: the
poets, that is to say the immortal poets, are
printed and reprinted and bought. Which goes
to show that the great wave of literary" trash
that is sweeping over the world may divert
attention from some of the living writers of
eminence, but cannot Submerge the great
authors of the past. OF course there are pes
simiSts with cynical explanations of the phe-
nOmenon. They point to the dainty editions of
Jane Austen and Shakespeare that are left on
drawing room tables with leaves forever uncut
We are told that the people have discovered the
decorative value of books and that seven
eighths Of the new editions of the classics pub
IShed whether they be of Marcus Aurelius or
Keats, Mallory or Lamb, are used for the same
purpose as wallpaper, Chippendale and Chinese
idols. Most of us have known instances of this
Specious enthusiasm for pretty books But if
the classics are being sold in great numbers inst
now among people absorbed in thoughts of war
we may be sure that something more than a
decorative ambition is at the bottom of it. Nor
are we willing to believe that half the world
buys Shakespeare to leave him unread on the
table, with the intention of deceiving the visitor
into the belief that the household is n cultured
one The classics are bought because people
want to read them.

Lord Roberts has in his possession the head OF

with horns measuring seventy five inches from

sixteen inches. Is ii any wonder, therefore,
that with the hope of some such trophy as this

the hardships of exploration in the heart of

In reviewing a few weeks ago the Memoirs
of the Baroness Cecile de Courtot' felt con-
strained to east suspicion upon their anthem
ITCHY. They were too picturesque by half, and
begged for some explicit information con-
corning their origin. The London publisher now
ratiies our suspicious by inserting the following
note in the book: "As the authenticity of these
memoirs has been challenged, and as he has not
been afforded an opportunity of seeing the
documents on which they are based the pub
Usher wishes it to be understood that he can
not guarantee their historical accuracy. &.
1t is only fair to remember that in the face of
al doubts the compiler maintains his statement
that he has cOnScientiOuSly used his material"
The last sentence is inimitable We do not
doubt i'll the least that the compiler has con
scientiouSly used his material" But what
about his material: We are sorry for Mr.
Heinemann if he has been unable to get at the
documents in the case, but regret even more
that he did not see fit to include his note Of
explanation in the first edition. The Memoirs
are so amusing that they would have been read
anyway. But possibly Mr.. Heinemann's reader
was taken in by the extremely plausible tone of
the book. The incident is not only warning
to professional readers, but to publishers. We
trust that the next time a volume of this sort
is published it will contain in the preface some
intimation of the circumstances surrounding its
preparation

1t is the fashion to get up novels as one
''sets up book on astronomy or bottle wash
ing. Emulating the historical romancer who
deves first i'll one period and then in another,
the contemporary novelist deyotes one book to
life in lumber camp, the next to a particular
university, third to Monte Carlo a match
factory. He is strong on local color. If his
heroine is shop girl he can tell you, and does
tell you everything about a department store
from top to bottom For the novelist of this
sort the great show at Paris offers Il unique
opportunity. The life of those officially at
tached in one way or another to the gigantic
enterprise must inevitably take its color from
its surroundings. There must be peculiar Situa-
tons among the denizens of the side shows"
Out of the commercial rivalry involved in the
occasion there must spring some strange &C
currences. And exhibition like that at Paris
is a world in itself; it has the odd quality of
seeming to share in the general permanencc of
civilization, whereas it is one of the most
ephemeral things we know. One novelist has
begun to use the opportunity, but SO far it seems
likely that his stories will only deal with few
travelling Americans and will make their adj
ventures incidental to a description of the fair
