promotion companies found it diff

the sale OF the treasury stocks which
are set aside for such purposes.
Where it was possible to dispose oi
such stocksthe price obtained was
low. Even where attempts We're
made to complete the sale of good

sual and unwaranted number of fall

proportion of the mining interests of
Colorado suffered. Several good

SMALLPOX STATISTICS.
Government Report Shows Disease
Prevalent Over Entire Country.

The United States Marine Hospital
reports just issued by the Government
show that smallpox prevails at this
moment in all of the fifty one States
and territories except six The States
and territories given as being free of
the disease are Arkansas, Idaho, Maine,
Nevada, Oklahoma and South Dakota.
The report is incorrect, at least in the
cases of Nevada and Idaho, smallpox
having been prevalent in both States
for some time. The State Boards of
Health everywhere have taken the sit
uation in hand and have appealed to
all citizens to be vaccinated.
1t is estimated that about one-sixth
of the people of the United States have
been vaccinated in the past few weeks
this would mean about twelve mil
lion sore arms or legs between, Maine
and California. Smallpox is not a
funny thing, and yet the humors trag-
edies and even romances of this pres
ent epidemic are curious and interest
ing.
Hundreds of villages throughout the
country are quarantined on account OF
smallpox. Several persons have been
shot for attempting to break through
the quarantine. Green county, Ken
tucky, is completely quarantined. The
disease is equally distributed through
the South, the Southwest and the
Northwest.
A Pullman car full of people was iso-
lated for three days in Colorado be.
cause of case on board. Two men
have married brides who are suffering
from smallpox in order to share their
quarantine.
Many physicians believe the disease
has been brought into this country and
distributed by soldiers returning from
our tropical possessions. The majority
are of opinion that Cuba is the source
of contagion, but some say it comes
from the Philippines. .-SilUer States.

soles From Scraps.

Next winter you'll be wearing shoes
with soles made from leather scraps,n
said the manager of a Massachusetts
shoe factory recently, as reported by
Shoe and Leather Facts. mo, they
won't be pieced together, if that's
what you mean by asking if such soles
won't be rough looking. The leather
will be made much after the process
that turns wood pulp into paper, only
the pulp will be made from leather
Some genius has invented machinery
which will take a pulp made of leather
scraps, press and mold It into a solid
mass, and run it out at the other end o
continuous strip of shoe sole. You
will soon be able to buy sole leather
by the yard and at price that will
make going barefoot a crime.
''Sole leather has been costing us
from eighteen to thirty cents a pound
for years. There is a great deal OF
waste and practically no use for the
scraps. This new process will use all
the scraps which can be secured, and
will bring the price of sole leather
down to five cents pound The
leather manufactured in this way will
have no pores, and for that reason
will turn water better.r

Times: A good story is told on a con-

running out of Grand Island AS the
train pulled out Of Grand Island one
day last week, there was on board a
stout colored lady with pickaninny
about ten months or a year old that
was as obstreprous and contrary as
one of its dimensions could be. The
mother threatened, coaxed and re-
sorted to artifice with but little sue
cess. Finally she opened her bosom
and produced ''dinner'' of very gen.
erous proportions, but the little fellow
squalled and refused to be tempted in
to quietude, and she resorted to STRAIT

conductor said he had just iunched

A Western Fight,

Some hundred prominent daily East
ern newspapers recently have editor
tally expressed views favorable TO a
system of national irrigation. 1t would
seem that the East is we'll in line in
wishing the development and recla-
nation of the great area west of the
hundredth meridian, and that it is
realized that such development would
benefit the entire country and be ma
tional benefit, adding to the general
wealth and power of the Nation. While
the East is thus willing to assist and CO.
operate, it expects, of course, that the
West will make it's own fight. Every
local Western organization of what
ever character chambers of com
merce, boards of trade, commercial
clubs, business associations = every
thing with president and secretary
should discuss and take action upon
this question of national irrigation and
Government appropriations for the
building of storage reservoirs, and
then stand ready to cooperate with
the National Irrigation Association,
for whatever procedure is necessary.
