Washington, Dec. 9.-President
Roosevelt will in no way assist in Sc
surfing the passage of the omnibus
statehood bill. At the present time
the president is inclined to believe
that neither New Mexico nor Arizona
ready for statehood. The presi-
Dent talked Monday with numerous
republican senator's and, while he
was not active in his oposition to
the omnibus bill, he made it known
TO all callers that from the informa-
ton he had gathered he believed the
majority report of the senate COM
mittee on territories presented the
only solution of the statehood ques-
ton possible at this time.

TERMS FOR WEEKLY SENTINEL.
SMElTER TRUST
NOT PRosPERINc.
From the Salt Lake Herald.


The coming annual report of the
American Smelling & Refining Com
pany, it is said, will be very disappoint-
ing. says the Boston News Bureau. The
price OF silver is lower than 1t has been
for many years, while the lead business
of the company has been barely profit.
able. This announcement will not
cause any great amount of sorrow
among Utah miners who have been
fleeced to the limit Of endurance by
this same smelter trust ever since its
organization. According to local min
ing men, the real trouble with the trust
is not the low price OF silver nor yet the
low price of lead. The small earning
capacity of the corporation is due to the
fact that it will not make terms with
the producers such as will enable them
to keep the smelters supplied with ore.
The trust has not been willing to allow
the mine owners to make any money at
all over the cost of mining and the
freight charges. As result. produc-
tion has been curtailed and the smelling
plants controlled by the combine could
not be operated at their full capacity.
A few days ago the company was forced
TO shut down its big plant at Pueblo be-
cause most OF the ores that formerly fed
IL. and which came from the mines
about Park City, have been diverted to
the new 81 900, 900 plant in the Salt
Lake Valley. Even with that change
only three OF the eight furnaces here
are being supplied. Utah mining men
declare they have plenty of ore, but
they are not willing to present it to the
American Smelling 4 Refining Com
pany. They say they are entitled to a
share of the profits, and they are right.
The trust is doomed to inevitable col
lapse, unless il revises its present meth
DDS. For years il has been paying divi
dends on thrice -watered stock, and the
time has come when the mine owners
will bear the burden no longer. II the
American Smelling & Refining Com
pany doesn't want all of its plants tc
become idle, it will adopt some method
by which the producer will receive foi
his ores something more than the cos'
of mining and freight. Otherwise indie
pendent smelters will spring up all ovei
the West and the trust will collapse oi
it's own weight, an example for all time
OF the evils Of greed.

CONCERNING COATS.
Sensible Hints in Regard to Wear and
Care Of Garments.

care Oh darmenCS.
From the New York Times
Now that the overcoat season is on
again." said an uptown tailor in the course
of conversation on the care Of clothes,
zone sees the utter inability Of the average
man to properly wear and care for his gar
ments. Jackets may be worn anyhow with
out much detracting from their owners ap-
pearance, but oyercoats, like frock coats,
require care in handling and in wearing.
Not one man in thousand knows how to
put on his coat correctly Ignorance and
carelessness in disposing of the garment
when not in use make the wearers Of even
the best coats look like 30 cents beside the
man with a cheaper article, but who knows
how to wear and care for 1t.
Men curse their tailors when after few
days wear they find their coats out of
shape at the shoulders and hanging badly.
deal to do with the appearance of a coat,
but on the customer himself much more de-
pends
Most men when they are being measured
and fitted assume all sorts Of unnatural
postures. They forget that what they real
ly want Is garment to fit their ordinary
shape and not the forced figure which they
present to the tailor.
''Then, again. when the new coat comes
home the owner tugs 1t on anyhow and
wears 1t Tapping OPEN Every new coat
should be carefully nodded by the wearer
into the shape of his everyday figure. He
should get his shoulders well into It, and
in order to arrive at that result he should
have assistance on at least the first six oc-
oasions on which he wears the garment.
The coat should be carefully buttoned
downward, not the reverse, as is so often
the case. For at least one hour on each of
the first six days of use the coat should be
kept buttoned. 1t will then have adjusted
itself to the peculiarities of the figure"

ANTHRACITE HISTORY.
Coal That the Public at First Refused
to Use.

From the Toronto Mail and Empire.
Anthracite coal, which we are all so anx-
ious to get just now, was less than a CEN
fury ago, when the first efforts were made
to market It, denounced as a fraud. The
people Of those days declared it was i'm
possible to burn such stone" At the close
of the eighteenth century, in 1871, the Le-
high Coal Company tried in vain to sell In
Philadelphia the new fuel which had been
found on its property in Carbon county.
Several attempts were made to burn an
thracite, but for a long time the results
were uniformly unsatisfactory. Finally, in
1915, the secret was accidentally discovered
Tests had been made in a rolling mill at
Schuylkill. After repeated attempts to
make it burn by means of frequently rak-
ing the fire, the workmen gave up the ex-
pertinent in disgust, filed the furnace with
the worthless black stones and left 1t.
Returning a, few hours afterward they were
amazed to find fierce fire with terrific
heat, and thenceforward the problem Of
burning anthra cite was solved.
But the people were slow to believe that
1t was possible to get heat by burning the
black stones. AS late as 1898 one Charles
Miner wrote as follows: while we push
forward our labors at the mine, hauling
COAL building arks, ETC., we had the greater
difficulty to overcome Of inducing the pub
lie to use our coal when brought to their
doors, much as 1t was needed. We pub
lished handbills In English and German,
stating the mode of burning the coal, either
in CRATES, smiths fires or in stoves. MI
merous certificates were obtained and print
ed from blacksmiths and others who had
successfully used the anthra cite. Mr. Cist
formed model Of coal stove and got a
number cast. Together we went to the
several houses In the city and prevailed on
the masters to allow us to kindle fires Of
anthracite in their CRATES, erected to burn
Liverpool coal. We attended at back
smiths shops and persuaded some to alter
the 'too-iron.' so that they might burn the
Lehigh coal; and we were sometimes
obliged to bribe the journeymen to try the
experiment fairly, SO averse were they to
learning the use Of new sort of fuel so
different from what they were accustomed
to-
But even these methods were slow to
overcome popular prejudice. 1t was only
when, through a sudden rise in the price OF
charcoal, the manufacturers began to use
anthracite that the new fuel found its way
into favor.

A traveller in Siberia says that few people

vegetables and strawberries. raspberries
and currants grow. and sheep, cattle and
horses Craze unsheltered the year round.
