as it is possible to know such things, that
the additional amount will place it beyond
doubt as good proposition. Such meth
DDS do not appeal to the honest promoter as
being good ones and the sooner this kind OF
work is stopped the better it will be.
We are advised that an element in this
city is angry because we published the yer
dict of the coroner's jury in the Sun and
Moon case. These gentlemen should think
for moment what character of news
paper it would be that kept everything it
was asked to out of the paper. There is
not an item of important news but what
possesses some feature disagreeable to some
one and there is not a week passes that the
Siftings is not requested to Withhold several
items of news. The people must sooner or
later learn that we will not do it. No en-
deavor was made to use the item in radi-
cal manner and those who were using it in
that sense were condemned for it. A news
paper, however, should print the news or
get out of business. Siftings proposes to
do the former and keep right in the latter.

The Big Five association is getting an ell
egant plant of machinery and power house
in shape at the mouth of the big tunnel
The people appreciate the work of this or
ganization in the city and district. Now
it is up to the association to set the machine
going that will build us big hotel.
Advertising will bring results and we be-
leve the Chamber of Commerce is doing
the proper thing when it advocates another
issue of the little booklet 1t can be truth
fully said that this little book has accom-
plished more than any other factor in the
direction of bringing good results to the
city and district and in bringing the true
story of the resources and opportunities of
the district before the people.

Siftings does not promise to do your
work for you for nothing nor will it give
away its paper. Anything that is worth
anything will demand value. We will do
good job printing and do it at the standard
price. No legitimate proposition can do
more than this. As between doing work
for nothing and resting we prefer to rest
and save the wear and tear on the machinery
and type.
Siftings is always pleased to receive cor
respondence from its eastern readers re-
garding matters connected with invest
ments in general but it cannot publish one
received and marked for publication this
week. In this communication the writer
names certain proposition i'll which he
has invested a little money and proceeds to
"knock" it in a manner that would make
some of our local professional knockers
turn green with envy. The property he
refers to happens to be good proposition
one of the best on Seaton Mountain We
do not want correspondence of this charac-
ter and will not publish it, even if signed
by the author. In this case it was not.

The erection of the new building for the
bowling alley is the start in the direction of
business enterprises toward that section of
Miner street. AS the city grows in popu-
lation and business enterprises it must be
spread out and it begins to look as if some
of the residence section would have to give
way.

The chamber of commerce should begin
to keep an eye open to capture some of the
state meetings to be held during the COM
ing summer. The Trocadero will accom- :
modate many of the big conventions and
institutions of this character if we go at it /,
right.
