MINE PAYS cITY's BILLS.
Baker City, Washington, Owls Profit

Baker City, Washington, Owls a Profit
able Deposit of Gold Ore.
The town Of Baker City, Wash, is
one of the most favored of municlpaIi-
ties, for 1t is the owner of a water sys-
tenn which is veritable gold mine.
About year ago the city authorities
issued bonds to the amount of 100000
and established gravity water sys-
tenn TO supply the city from Elk Greek,
ten miles away in the mountains Aft
er the new system was nearly com
pleted it was discovered this summer
that the flow Of water was not sufi-
cient to meet the demands of the city
and the council issued more bonds and
purchased the celebrated Auburn ditch,
which brings large supply of water
from the mountains to a point about
eight miles from the city. The water
is excellent, there is plenty of It and
It will soon be connected with the main
water system.
All this is very well, but there is
something distinctly peculiar about the
new water system of Baker City. The
title to the Auburn ditch carries with
it the title to the celebrated Nelson
placer mines, situated eight or ten miles
west Of the city, and in securing the
water the city also acquired a gold
mine, probably the first ever owned by
any municipality in the United States.
These mines have been leased In the
past year by year to people who have
taken out good returns every season
This year the owners have made a good
cleanup. Next year the city can ope-
rate the mine itself or lease the priyi-
lege to others.
1t is estimated by mining man of ex-
perience that the Nelson placer mines
will pay sufficient revenue to pay all
the expenses Of the city government of
Baker City and afford many improve
ments now greatly needed by this rap
idly growing little city. For instance,
the town is In urgent need of a good
sewerage system, electric street lights,
street pavement and systematic street
sprinkling during the dry months. 1t
is also proposed to erect in Baker City
next year permanent mineral palace,
to be constructed of gold and silver
ores and to contain large collection
Of the ores from every camp and
mine In Eastern Oregon, SO arranged
and exhibited as to answer all ques-
tions as to the mineral resources of the
country. 1t would show to stranger
the exact location and character of all
the different kinds Of ores, gold, silver,

COMPEL CITIZENS TO VOTE.
All Belglans Qualified Must Exercis
the Elective Franchise.

All BeIxlans Qualified Must Exercise
the Elective Franchise.
The Belgians have made an important
discovery. They have found out how
to accomplish something that no Amer
lean commonwealth aceomplishes, They
have found out how TO compel citizens
to vote, They do not send the nonvot,
ers TO Jail, but the coercive means en-
ployed Is so effective that at a recent
election out of l,05S.1 .16S eligible voters
only 1851 failed to vote without giving
previous notice to the courts as required
by law, and of this number 2.621 were
summoned before the magistrates, were
able to present acceptable excuses, such
as age, illness or unavoidable absence.
The number punished for not voting at
that election was 1880. or exactly 2.T6
out of every thousand,
How has this wonder been aieyed2 7
In the case of first offenders the state Is
far from being harsh. The magistrates
simply admonlsh the negligent citizen
that the habit Of staying away from the
polls will cause him trouble If persisted
in. He has begun to make entries on
the wrong side of his account with the
state. If he fails to vote second time
there viii be penalty. In that event
he hands the magistrate $5. and IL he
still continues to refrain from voting
as the elections recur his political rights
are suspended for ten years. Some day
We shall be as efficient as the Belgians
are in enforcing the performance of po-
litical duty.
II men will not vote why let them call
themselves voters? Why bother to keep
their names on the voting lists? Why
not let the fact of their refusal to take
part in the government of the country
be known of all men by reason of the
absence of their names from the suf-
frage lists?
Before the year 1898 in Belgium it is
said that 16 per cent of the voters re-
manned away from the polls at every
election in spite Of all that the party
workers could do to get them there. But
as soon as the law making voting COM
pulsory was passed the rate Of Austen
tion fell below per cent.-Hartford

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

By local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion OF the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition Of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets In
famed you have q rumbling sound or impeE
feet hearing, and when IL is entirely closed
deafness is the result, and unless the infamma-
tion can be taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing viii be destroyed
forever; nine cases out Of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an infamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.
