sesst thou . man diligent in his business.
He shall stand before kinEs.-ProveFbs.

he shall stand before skinEs.-Proverbs.
!. You hear and read very
much lately about Prosperity,
Prosperous Times and Coun-
tries, etc. Suppose you get a
rabbits foot fastened to your
vest chain and stand on street
corners and talk prosperity
and politics, etc., then figure
up your income.
Here is a good one: A rag
man in the country purchasing
a pair of discarded trousers at
a farm house remarked to the
man as he paid for them, II
see, sir, that you are about to
lose your land on a mortgage" !"
II guess you are right" said
the discouraged looking farm
er, "but how the Sam Hill did
you find that out2" Easy
enough" said the ragman; II
noticed that these old pants
are completely played out so
far as the part of 'em you sat
down on is concerned. The
quality of the pants may have
been all right, but the quality
of the man was certainly
wrong" And so it goes.
/. Prosperity depends upon the
man as we'll as the country he
is in.
Quality speaks loudest; quail
ity first, quality last, quality
all the time. Quoting low
prices regardless of quality
does not make a business sue
cessful.
In my business quality is the
all important question, and to
produce that quality you have
got to have energy, tact and
be diligent in business, besides
using the very best of mate
rial. Sugar is our base. Sug-
ar now days is made of vari-
Gus articles. such as sawdust,
beets, corn, charcoal, ETC., but
the quality (speaking of candy
making) that | use has got to
be pure cane sugar. There is
not a pound of Muscovado Su-
gar in this state, the kind white
cane sugar is made Of; neither
is there a bag or barrel in Chi
cago, but as soon as can get
it from New York / will exhib-
if in my store window the real
article. "Muscovado Sugar"
and make some candy out of
it. Samples free. Fresh

Now Let Us Work for Canon.

The election has passed and like
good citizens let us accept the re-
suit with good grace. The fight has
been earnestly waged, each has done
what he could for his party or his
favorite candidate. Our next duty
is that of looking after the interests
of our individual community. The
upbuilding of Canon City should now
be uppermost in our minds. How
shall we best work to induce the To-
cation of large manufacturing enter
prises within her midst. That is the
question. /.
Here we have good natural loca-
tions for smelters and other ore
reduction plants. We have coal in
large quantities; we have direct COM
munication with the Cripple Creek
district; we have promising outlook
from the Dawson City district, and
plenty of water for such reduction
plants.
If then to obtain such plants for
this locality. requires active and
united work on the part Of our citi-
zens, why wait any longer to begin
operations with that end in view?

ORE REDUCTION PLANT.
Canon City Soon to Have A Second
ZiBc.Lead Smeiter.


Enterprises which cut the widest
swath are not always those which
announce their coming with the blare
Of the trumpet. Such has proven to
be the case with the Mineral Point
Zinc Company which has lately locat-
ed at this place and will soon estab-
lish its general western headquarters
in this city, mention Of which was
made in our issue of last week.
This company at present have
twelve large plants located at various
points in the country, and afford en-
ployment to great number of men.
The plant which is to be installed
here. and upon which work will be
started as soon as the plans can be
perfected, will consist of a concen-
traitor and separator and will form
the nucleus for group Of buildings
which when in full operation, will be
one of the finest and best and largest
in the United States.
The company owns $50 acres of
land upon which there is q vein of
coal sufficient in size to supply the
company's need in its work of smelt-
ing operations, and which will be
mined for that purpose and also for
producing electricity.
The company is already buying
large quantities Of zinc ore and have
shipped or have on hand twenty three
broadgauge carloads up to the pres
ent time. A portion Of this ore is
obtained Of W. H. Murray at his mine
1t Parkdale. When the new plant is
ready for operation much of the ore
purchased west Of here will be treated
at this point and the treated product
sent to the works farther east for
perfecting.
Mr.. George R. Shseffer of this city
was fortunate in being an oldtime
acquaintance Of Mr.. W. C. Wetherill,
general manager for the company,
and through this was enabled to set
forth the advantages offered by Canon
City for the location Of plant here.
So great was the confidence reposed
in Mr.. Shaeffer that he was permitted
to select the site and close up other
important matters in the deal, and
thus it was through him and his
untiring efforts that we are to have
q second zinc-lead smelter here, an
institution which means the employ
ment Of large number Of skilled
workmen and cause the expenditure
Of large sum Of money each month.

but will rejoice at such an exhibition of
content, prosperity and high intelligence
as was presented through the Scandi-
navian Singing societies. That men
charged with the most serious response
bilfties of life will, even in America. turn
aside from worldly cares and advantages
for the cultivation of the musical taste
is a most gratifying reflection to all who
recognize the truth that American society
gives too much thought and effort to the
purely material phases of daily life and
too little to those which appeal to the
higher prcmptings of the human soul.
Our native-born population get many a
lesson from their naturalized brethren
which it would be well did they Fay more
heed to than they do. One CT these Is the
mental and moral gain which comes with
the cultivation of the graces of life
Americans drift day by day farther and
farther away from close touch with
nature. The foreign born man, especial
ly he of the North, is unwilling to forcgn
the training and tradition which lead
him to the field and the ford and tell him
that the acquisition of material wealth
is mere minor duty among thosa V. hich
deVolve On men in the realization of their
purpose in life.

A NOISY OUTRAGE.

st. Paul is much in need of an anti
noise crusade. There are probably as
many 1iendish devices for racking the
nerves in use in this city as in any other
city Of It's size in the country The latest
assault upon the eardrums Of St. Paul
citizens is a street parade of two loud
voiced men with an enormous megaphone.
They drive believing through the central
business streets, roaring out some unin-
telligible gibberish every few yards in
such resounding tones as to shake the in
sulaticn OF the electric light wires and
make nervous persons shrink into their
low shoes
Such a dire infection would not be toIer-
ated even In Chicago, and the wonder of
it is that the st. Paul police have not
suppressed the nuisance.
There are certain incidental and per-
haps excusable noises which we are ac-
custoned to and can bear with consider
able fortitude, but this giant megaphone
business is simply unbearable, and must
be bottled up. If the man with the mega
phone has anything to say to the public,
let him rut 1t into writing, and in the
name of white-winged peace let the police
put stopper in his phone

Of man has not actually succeeded in dis
tqgrbing the equilibrium of the atmos-

tain more than its normal proportion of
oxygen; but, whatever 1t may be, whether
oxygen or sun spots. there certainly does
appear to be some grave disturbing in
fuence at work on the earth at present.
The nations are, excited, and some of
them are uncomfortable The smoke Of
war and the scent of human blood per-
wade the world. The stoIid Briton, the
shreWd Yankee land the phlegmatic CHI
naman are suffering from severe attacks
OF the fever. The Russians and the Jap
anese are burning with the desire to kill.
The war lord of the Teutons has sent
his warriors forth to STAY. The French
are eager for fray with some one, and
the Spanish would be in 1t. too. but for
the sad necessity imposed upon them by
recent scrimmage Of stopping home for
repairs for a while. The Italians are
ready to back up the Briton If he will
only sail in and slaughter the Chinese,
and the only people who do not suffer
from war fever are the plague and fam
inc stricken people of India. No doubt
as soon as they can restore the rotundlty

will be able to differentiate between
back ache and stomach ache they will
be ready to slaughter with the rest of US.

savage crimes. And last, but not least,
We are on the eve of a general election.
We see the effects. but where lies the

RAILROAD COMMISSIONERS.

Mortified Independent.
Among the offices to be filled at the
coming election this fall, perhaps none
are of more Importance to the people at
large than those of railroad commission
ers. For these important places the late
Republican convention nominated j. G..
Miller, of Two Harbors; Ira B. Mills
of Crookston, and c. f. Staples, of St
Paul. Just what combinations or in,
huence secured the nominations for those
men may not be definitely known but it
is doubtful if poorer nominations could
have been made had that been the actual
purpose of the convention.
The first named Is an employe of the
Duluth & Iron Range railroad, which is
owned by the standard Oil company, and
this seems to- be the only qualification
that was urged in his favor, or that was
necessary to secures him the ronnina ton
The second one, Mr.. Mills, is the for
mer chairman. of the commission, who
was succeeded by Gov. Lind's appointee
His candidacy was openly denounced by
some of the leading Republican papers,
before the convention, as being in the
particular interestiof the railroad COM
panies and of former Grain Inspector
Clausen, who was said to be the prin-
cipal factor back 5OR it, and who is to
receive the rewardo of his old place in
case of Mills election. This ought to be
sufficient to dispose of Mills.
The third man nominated, Staples, Is
SO utterly unfit for the place that 1t Is
entirely probable his nomination could
not have been secured in the convention
except by trick that put it through In
a time of turmoil. when the delegates did
not know what was going on. Mr.
Staples is probably the worst man of
the three, and that is saying a good deal.
Arrogant, dogrnatic. egotistical, over
bearing, domineering, self-conceited and
supremacy selfish. he Is the last man to
be thought Of for such place. The Office
