I outing park, at the same time, by a devious route, stretch the roadbed and rails thitherward? Let them even open a mountain villa tract and sell lots to defray a portion of the expenses of an attraction so worthy and one sure to benefit all parties concerned.
 Then this is a splendid field for the operations of a board of trade. By the cooperation of all the busi- ness men and interests of the city as sisted by the adjuncts that make up the mining communities contiguous, the population and prestige of Pres colt could be doubled within a very few years. Manufacturing industries, by fair proposals from such men as comprise the business force of the commonwealth, could, no doubt, be induced to locate their plants or branches of their concerns here and when one of these arteries begins to throb, kindred industries will soon become tributaries and life pulsate all about us.
 As Denver is to the state of Color ado, so is Prescott destined to be to the 'state"of Arizona. As all the min ing interests of Arizona are closely allied with those immediately sur rounding us, it is as natural as it is the case, that Prescott should be the acknowledged headquarters for min ing news, mining men and investors. And when prOspectors are once brought to realize the advisability of constructing smelters here for the re- duction of their ores, the day of Pres cott's genuine aggrandizement will have dawned.
 There is so much of good in store for the general welfare of the city when once the different propositions

Dear Sir Lead and oil is no longer
the paint to be prosperous with.
As everybody knows lead and oil
chalks or powders off in about three
yeas-three years Is Its limit.
Painters are putting little zinc in
their lead to make it fought lasts a
good three years with little zinc.
But painters don't like the job Of
mixing zinc. It's a tedious job, and,
both being white, nobody knows when
the mixing is thorough. 1t gets half
mixed and the paint goes on, streak
Of lead and streak Of zinc. That is
not good work.
The mistake made Is In trying to do
BY hand what better done by machin-
cry. HAnd-work can't compete with
machinework.
Devoe lead and zinc Is your paint. 1t
wean twice % long as lead and oil.
This reduces the cost Of keeping .
house well painted to hall.

CONDEMNED IN MISSOURI AND con.
FISCATED IN NEW YORK.

Judge Clarke of st. Louis has con-
victed and fined heavily number of
grocers for selling baking powders con
tanning alum.
The week before the Health Depart
ment of New York seized quantity of
stuff being sold for baking powder
which they found was made from alum
mixed with ground rock, and dumped
1t into the river.
The Health Authorities are thus TAX
ing effective means to prevent the in
PRODUCTION into our markets ofinjurious
substitutes in place of wholesome bak-
ing powders.
AS alum costs only two cents pound
there is great temptation for those
manufacturers who make substitutes
and imitation goods, to use it. Alum
baking powders can be detected by the
health authoities by chemical ANALYSIS,
but the ordinary housekeeper, whose
assistance in protecting the heath Of
the people Is important, cannot make
a chemical examination. She NAV
easily know the alum powders, how
ever, from the fact that they are sold
at from ten to twenty cents for a pound
can, or that some prize-like spoon
or glass, or piece of crockery, or wooden
ware-is given with the powder as an
inducement.
AS the people continue to realize the
Importance of this subject and consum-
ers insist on having baking powder OF
established name and character, and as
the health authorities continue their
vigorous crusades, the alum danger
will, 1t is hoped, finally be driven from
our homes.

New Railrsad.

The Western Maryland railroad
which extends over a territory from
Baltimore to Marietta, this state, and
is owned by the municipality Of the
Monumentical City is offered for sale
and among the bidders, Is the Phila-
delphia 4 Reading Railway Company.
To the casual reader the above infOr-
nation does not seem startling but
further investigation reveals the fact
II the Philadelphia & Reading Railway
Company secures this line, It means
much prosperity for the entire division
between Williamsport aud Tamaqua.
For some time the Western Mary
land line has been for sale and about
one week ago the bids were opened.
A syndicate from Baltimore offered
$ll ,OOO, 900, the Philadelphia 4 Reading
Railway Company $4,000, 600 and the
Baltimore 4 Ohio Railroad Company
81 100000.
The directors of the rilroad declared
all bids of. The reason advanced was
that the City desire to sell only to o
business advantage to the City. They
favored Philadelphia 4 Reading Rail-
road Company because If that corpora
ton bought the line, it would mean the
advent Of q new railway into tho city
and direct line to Buffalo, N. Y.
Later in the week meeting of the d.
rectors Of the Philadelphia 4 Reading
Railway Company was held, and in
formation has it that corporation will
increase its bids to $40, 100000.
In the event of sale to the last named
line, the Reading will own its own
road from Baltimore to Harrisburg.
At present t he Reading owns
right of way between Harrisburg and
Clement station opposite sunbury, and
part of the line has been granted.
With this connecting link completed
the RsSding would be thrown into ii,
rect tcompetition 18th the Pennsylvania
Railway Company and besides would
hay" shorter route to Buffalo.
Again the Reading would be in pos
session Of shorter route south for its
hard coal and other freight, as under
the present system all traffic from the
west and the coal region Is taken via
Reading and Harrisburg over its own
road and to Baltimore over leased lines.
The acquisition of the western Mary
land railroad with the connection link
built between Harrisburg and Clement
would divert the traffic that is now be-
Ing hauled in roundabout way and
over leased lines.
