The exposition association will have
on hand a fund of $2,074.S9 when the
percentages due the association from
the concessions to the charitable or
ganiZations are collected The percent
ages will amount to $46346. 1t has been
suggested that this money, which is 40
per cent of that earned by the various
charitable organizations at the exposi-
ton, be returned to them to be used
in the various charitable enterprises
backed by the organizations, but the
plan is meeting with some opposition
among the members of the board of
directors.
However. in event this money is re-
funded a balance will be left the Mid
winter exposition association of $1,611-43
as profit.
This is in addition to the $1SS paid as
interest to the library fund of about
1912 borrowed to begin the work of the
Midwinter exposition.
If the managers of the exposition can
not agree upon the disposition of the
unexpected profits they might, simply
as a peace measure of course, in which
the newspapers have no Interior mo-

CITY PRIMARY MARCH 5
Australian Ballot Will Be Used
as Usual.

The Republican primaries for the city
election are to be held March 5. There
will be a voting place in each precinct.
names and addresses of all who vote
will be taken, and only known Repub-
licans'' will be allowed to vote.
Such are the rules adopted by the Re
publican city central committee at it's
harmonious, but developed several close
votes on several of the propositions dis
cussed.
One part of the committee wanted the
primaries held on February %. Another
favored February 2S and a third was in
for March 5. The latter date won.
1t was decided that every candidate
must file his name and pay his assess
ment to the secretary of the city CEN
%. The amount of the assessment has
not yet been fixed. A meeting of the
executive committee is to be called to
arrange for all the details of the pri-
marieS, and determine the amount nee
essary for assessment to pay the ex-
penses of the primary
Considerable sentiment was manifest
in favor of abolishing the Australian
ballot and voting by the old-fashioned
system of scratching out all names ex-
cept that of the candidate for whom the
eIector desired to cast his vote but the
committee decided to stay by the Aus
tralian plan, modified if necessary to
suit conditions.
Instead of consolidating some of the
voting precincts, in order to save the
expense of a few judges and clerks, the
committee decided to vote at all the
polling pla ces as usual in regular elec-
tions. This entails more expense but
avoids much confusion.

In conclusion he said: 1.-THE attorneys

law will be valueless for what it was

circumvent their evasions."
Mr. Hansbrough IN. ID addressed the
senate on his bill apprOpriatings the re-
ceipts from the sale of public lands
in certain states and territories to the
construction of irrigation works for the
reclamation of arid lands. He claimed
that the proposition was not a sectional
one and said it would provide homes
for many now homeless.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Hansbrough's
speech the irrigation bill was ordered to
be the unfinished business when the

OH THIS MONEY.
Exposition Association Is al
LOggerheads.
Directors at Variance About
Disposition of Funds.

''What shall be done with the fund
created by the profits that resulted from
the Midwinter exposition held here in
january"
That is the question that will come up
for consideration by the board of direc-
tors at their meeting at the Commercial
club Friday afternoon, and may be the
basis of a lively quarrel.
Four officers of the association have as
many different uses to which they de-
sire the fund to be applied.
President John E. Frost, president of
the Commercial club, and one of the di-
rectors of the Midwinter Exposition as
sociation wants the money turned over
to the Commercial club to be merged
into the general revenue fund of that
organization
T. J. Anderson, secretary of the Com
mercial club and one of the directors of
the Midwinter Exposition association,
wants the money to be applied to the
pipe organ fund now growing for the
purpose of installing a $4,000 pipe or
gan in the Auditorium.
r. S. Brigham who was secretary and
general manager of the exposition de-
sires to see the fund kept intact to use
in holding a similar exposition next
year. 1.-The success of the exposition
this year. he said, has demonstrated
beyond a doubt that the continuation OF
the exposition in the future would be
profitable to everyone concerned, and al
though 1 shall never be connected with
any future exposition, should one ever
be held. heartily desire to see the mon
ey kept as a fund for this purpose
Edward Wilder, treasurer of the San
ia Fe and vice president of the expoSi-
tion association, wants to see the money
loaned to the city library fund and put
out at interest. The interest to be used

An ingenious invention which has
been successfully experimental with
in several collieries in Lancashire,
England, bids fair to add greatly to
the simplification of coal mining, says
the New York Times. Under existing
conditions the coal after it has been
undercut is brought down" by an ex-
plosion of gunpowder. The new device
brings down the coal by water power
exercised through hydraulic car
fridge and obviates the wasteful shat
tering of the fuel.
Made of steel. the cartridge is TWEEN
ty inches in length. Along it's sides
are orifces, each of which admits of
pressure of three tons per square inch.
the total pressure being over sixty
tons. When inserted into the hole
bored into the coal to be operated
upon, the cartridge is connected with a
small hand pump. In few minutes
after the apparatus has been at work
the coal breaks up and comes down in
great blocks. There are no clouds Of
dust such az are caused by the gun
powder method. and the entire opera
ton IL carried out without the slightest
danger to the workers. About one and
4 half pints of water are used in the
operation, and as the liquid returns to
Z tank 1t can be repeatedly used.
Although the initial expenditure is
greater, the cartridge method is much
more economical than the system now
in vogue. It reduces the cost Of Ia
Dor, prevents waste and secures round.

How to Manage the Aquarium With
Little Trouble.

Little Trouble.
The care of goldfish is very simple
They require very little food. A ter
cent box of fish food will last four fish
several months. Care should be taken
not to put more food in the aquarium
than they will consume, say, within the
hour. 1t must not lie and dissolve, az
it will make the water milky. Feed
very little at time-best in the morn.
ing.
The common theory that the water
must be changed every day or two is
erroneous, says the st. Louis Post Dis
patch, and in cold weather frequent
changing Of the temperature is abso-
lutely injurious. OF course where three
or four fish are kept in gallon Of wa
ter: in dark, poorly ventilated room.
the water must be changed often, but
when an aquarium is placed where
there is good light or, still better,
where the sun will shine on it an hour
or two day, provided with proper
proportion Of aquatic plants and suf-
ffcient quantity of sand for the same
to grow in, there is no occasion to
change the water except when the
aquarium is to be cleaned. Cleaning
itself Is more matter Of taste than
necessity in many instances. Some
people object to the formation of algp
on the glass: others, again, prefer to
see the glass covered with alg@ and
the top of the water with profuse
growth of the plants, thereby giving
the whole a more natural appearance.
When the fish remain down in the
water, it is an indication that all is
right but when they come to the top
and gasp for fresh air 1t is sure sign
that the water is foul or, at least,
that the oxygen is exhausted. This
may happen at any time from neglect
of proper care; not otherwise, except
during long continuation Of cloudy
weather. which interferes with the ac-
lion of the plant in the water. Then
change of water becomes necessary
OF all animal house pets fish are the
least trouble and expense If their treat
ment Is properly understood.
