Seattle, Of all places, is experiencing II
moral reform wave and the gambling
element lie having hard time to pre-.
eerve the conditions which have made
Seattle famous In this respect. The
reform element is led by the Post.In.
telligencer, the leading paper Of Seattle,
while the mayor and police force are
arrayed in favor OF the "wide-open"
element. II is an up hill fight for the
reform people, but they are making
determined struggle and the Seattle
sporting element has not that feeling of
security that has been their lot in
former years. Seattle has been widely
known as gamblers paradise for
long time, but the wave Of progress
could not overlook 30 important a city
and wide open" towns are now out Of
date.

ABOUT CHEMICAL ENGINES.

have noticed from our Press Bureau
OF late, reference to possible purchase Of
chemical engine, and that v. , is 10 be
taken April 22nd, on the question Of
dispensing with hydrants. and substilu-
ting chemical engine, or having por.
tion o. the present number Of hydrants
and chemical engine.
A chemical engine is indispensable to
good fire service, but ii is, in no sense, a
substitute for water in fighting fire,
The smaller fires, and particularly those
inside Of buildings, can be and are ex-
tinguished by the use Of a chemical en-
gine alone, doing away with the use Of
water, thus saving or avoiding water
damage.
The larger fires, however, cannot he
extinguished with any chemical engine.
The proper equipment OF fire department
Is to have both, chemical engine, hose,
hose carts, ETC., for handling water, in
case water is required. Now, with this
frank statement, want to say a word
to you about chemical engines. There
is one standard chemical engine, recog.
nize1 everywhere by fire departments,
and city officials, as the only absolutely
reliable machine Of It's kind. This is
called the. Champion" chemical engine.
OF late years, several so called chemi-
cal engines haye been put on the mar.
ket, among them, air pressure machines
which are worse than useless, for the
simple reason that they are depended
upon until the moment they are needed
at fire, and then from various causes,
absolutely fail, causing much additional
FIRE loss, by reason Of the time wasted

Rich Strike at Mountain Lion.

strike OF extraordinary importance
was made last week at the Mountain
Lion quartz mine in the Missouri Flat
district on the Applega,e. In the lower
tunnel, which has been in course OF con
struction lor some time body Of ore has
been discovered, Of which the most ordl.
nary rock carries values OF several hun.
dred dollars TO the ton and in some speci.
mems the rate runs into the thousands.
This tunnel taps the vein at depth Of
about 200 feet and was being extended
to catch a rich pay chute that was
formerly worked nearer the surface
The owners did not expect rich ore in-
side OF 100 feet farther, but the recently
discovered pay chute is an altogether
different one from that which appeared
at the surface aud so Is In the nature Of
pleasant surprise. The vein Is about
two feet In width and almost every piece
oil rock shows free gold visible to the
eye. while some specimens are literally
full OF the precious particles. The rock
is also rich in sulphurets. Having
found On ore body o. such richness
where It was not expected, the owners
are naturally curious to know what they
will find when they reach the point
where they have reason TO believe the
rich ore chutes of the surface will be
tapped. There is good reason for beliey-
ing that the present ore body will be
surpassed when that point is reached
and the dip aud trend OF the veins sug.
gest the idea that large ore body of
greater richness exists at create
depth. Only u short pay chute Of the
quality recently discovered Is necessary
TO insure fortune and this ore body,
In connection with The reasonable in.
serences drawn from indications and
former workings, gives the mine an
outlook Of brilianoy seldom surpassed.
The mine is the property Of l.. l..
Jewell, &. +. Harmon aud George and
John Bailey. II is equipped with a
stamp mill which will begin operations
as there is sufficient quantity Of ore on
the dump.
The ore OF the Mountain Lion is
almost identical in APPEARANCE with that
OF the Exchequer, Goconda and other
mines in the same locality.

CURIOUS TYPE OF CRANK.
Ihe One who Confesses Crimes lie
Never Committed Annoys
the Police.

"The most curious type Of crank
in the world, in my humble opinion" "
said an old police officer. according 10
the New Orleans Times Democrat. "is
the fellow who makes fake couies-
sion. The outside public has no idea
how frequently that sort Of thing oc-
ours. Whenever we have a murder
mystery the authorities are absolutely
certain To hear from one or more
persons who assert positively that
they have committed the crime, and
whose stories are generally self-evi.
dent fabrications. As rule the con.
fession crank writes letter. and now
and communications are so plaus-
ible and circumstantial that the po-
lice would be thrown completely of
the track were il not for the fact
that they are always on their guard
al just that kind OF false leads II is
very strange. and there seems to be
absolutely no motive beyond an in.
sane passion for medding. Occa-
sionally the crank will present him
self ia person aud insist upon being
locked up, but his first few words
will usually bctray h.m. and unless
he is violent, he is quietly escorted
20 the door. \ veiy singular incident
OF that kind took place seven or eight
years ago in connection with a mys-
tcrious murder in the 'Ieudor,oin dis
trict.

ROAD BILL KILLED.
Senate Says Highway Taxes
Need Not Be Paid in Money.

The Miller bill providing for the pay
ment of road taxes in money was
brought up this morning in the senate.
The bill had been thoroughly discussed
in the committee of the whole but the
same objections were again made this
morning. The members from the west
ern part of the state objected because
they do not need the work on the roads
in that section that is required in the
eastern part of the state. Senator White
offered an amendment that the bill
should apply only TO counties east OF the
sixth principal meridian. 1t was car
ried.
Senator Miller made a strong plea for
the bill. He stated that the bill had the
endorsement of the Good Roads con-
gress and of every farmers institute in
the state. The bill was changed some,
what from the original on account Of
the objection offered that because a
township trustee was elected he would
benefit one part of the township at the
expense of the other. This was elimina-
ted.
Senator Stewart said that the bill
would be a good thing for the poor man
as ne would get a chance to work for
cash. He also called attention to the
fact that the bill would require the rail-
roads to pay in cash what they are now
working out with gangs of men who
really do no good to the roads.
Senator Hurrel moved to strike out
the enacting clause and the motion was
lost
county out of the effect of the law and
as the sixth meridian runs through the
county he moved that his county be ex-
c1uded- This started another debate
and resulted in q reconsideration OF the
motion to exclude all the counties east
of the sixth meridian. The short grass
country was taken in again on the re-
considering.
Every effort was made to kill the bill
or get it put Off without a vote but 1t
finally came to vote which resulted IN
its failure. the vote standing 20 to Is
