SunHOwpr Fuel.

In Russia sunf1ower stalks gathered
from the fields and dried in piles have
entirely replaced firewood. In fact
these stalks are preferred even to pine
wood, producing a quick and hot flame
fire. About 1000 pounds of such fire.
wood are gathered from an acre OF
land. thus adding a great boon to a dis
trict where wood is scarce. Suniower
shells are also used for heating pur
poses no only in private houses. but
in large factories as well. They are
burned in ovens specially prepared fol
their consumption.

Few Mormons in New Mexico.

The Territory today contains on a very conservative basis at least 2S4,000 people; of this number less than 800 men, women. and children are of the Mormon faith. Native citizens of Spanish or Mexican de- scent are very tenacious, cling ng strong ly to the faith of their fathers. and no Mormon proselytes are ever made here. The New Mexican does not know of d single native New Mexican of Spanish or Mexican descent who has left his church and embraced Mormonism. Among the citizens of New Mexico who have come here. whether native Americans or na- turalized Europeans not one has ever turned to be a Mormon and this paper believes that in this Territory not sim gle Mormon convert has been made The Mormons in New Mexico come from Utah, and are recruited from there. They are good. law-abiding and hard-working citi- zens. who do not figure In the courts, who mind their business and take very little part in politics. The Mormon ques- tion in New Mexico Is of as much mo- mentum as one house fly would be in the month of August in that rather hot and tough place called the City of Fl Paso, in Fl Paso County. Texas. It Is to be hoped that the people of the Unl ed States will be spared repetition of the balderdash and rotten talk on the Nor Il on question in New Mexico which, dur ing the last two sessions was in vogue in the United States Senate

ALUMINIUM COINS IN IOWA.
How Business Men of the Town of
 Williams Keep Trade at Home.

How Business Men of the Town of
 Williams Keep Trade at Home.
 For several months past the coin of tho Williams Exchange, Williams. Iowa, used by the farmers of that section of HamIl- ton County, has been passing current, and it is now In general use almost to the ex- clusion of dollars. half dollars. quarters. dimes, and nick4es. The new currency is made of aluminium. and the coins are about the same size as those used by Uncle Sam, but not nearly so heavy. Farmers come to Williams often with an overcoat pocket filled with dollars. and the whole outlay of riches will not weigh as much as twenty silver dollars.
 The aluminium coin used by the farm CTS in and near Wi Hams is now being talked about, and inquiries are coming from various sources as to the system which is in vogue. The exchange has without doubt received more free adver- Using the past few weeks than any other financial institution in the world. The advertising Is worldwide, and lette are being received almost every day at the bank of Williams making inquiry about the aluminium coins. and from collectors of coin all over the world. offering large premiums for specimens.
 In fact, the Williams Exchange is not a very pretentlous affair. It is intended only for the use and accommodation of the business houses of the town of Wi!- Hams. In business deals with their customers. and is not an original Idea ex-

There is no disposition to rob the government Of its right t. dis tribute real coin among the people of Williams.
 The purpose of the exchange is to buy butter. eggs, and poultry, and when the produce Is sold to the exchange the farm CT receives a ticket for the amount, which may be exchanged for merchandise at any of the Williams stores. Farmers may receive any or all of their payment in trade cheeks or coins. good in trade only at any store in Williams.
 Inasmuch as the trade checks pass for money in any store in Williams, the checks are looked upon by the farmers the same as money and are exchanged back and forth the same as money. Small debts are often paid in trade checks at no discount.
 The Williams bank Is the only instItu- tion in town where the fiat money is not recognized. Bankers will not accept the coin.
 The farmers like the Williams elastic currency plan because the Williams Ex- change pays a little higher price than Is paid for produce in surrounding towns Of course this bigge- prce is paid In aluminium coin. of which merchants in other towns make all sorts of sport, out so long as the Williams store keepers sell as cheap as the store keepers in other towns. the farmers feel that they are ahead.

 Interesting Little Colony.
 Early in the morning, when the show trains arrive, several tents have been pitched by the Indians, some of whom came the night before. This little colony Is almost as interesting as the circus it. self. It is a veritable bazaar of relics and pappoose exhibitions. While the old squaWs are getting breakfast the children are playing games and the braves are taking their knick- -knacks to market.
 When the doors are open the Indians are the first to land on the blue blanks, and they never move during the entire performance. Applause is unknown to them If the trick elephant were to climb the center pole they, no doubt, would en- joy the performance but they would make no more show of surprise than if they
 rfeN -tn k1,, mules were to walk out on the hippo drome track and make a concert an- nouncement in the Indian tongue, they would only grunt.
 After the performance the braves tackle the white mans flrewater. and while they are enjoying their intoxica- tion the squaws and children wait on lumber piles until the gray streaks of dawn begin to spread over the hills, and then the unsteady train winds out of the town over the trail.

BISHOP SLIP TO

TRANs-PACIFIC RATE WAR is
LOADING STEAMSHIPS so THEY
REQUIRE GREATER DEPTH.

The bishop slip is to be dredged
deeper.
The cut in freight rates made by the
Pacific Mail steamship in order to
strike a blow at the new China Mutual
steamship company that has entered its
field, has had the effect of sending the
Pacific Mail steamships out to the
Orient loaded down to the load water
line. The Korea, on its last trip here
was drawing thirty feet of water, and
could not enter the Bishop slip and
berth at the Bishop wharf. She was
taken to the Naval wharf instead
" here the slips were dredged deep
enough to admit vessels. drawing the
water that the Korea was on this
trip.
To meet this state of affairs, If 1t is
to continue, and of course the owners
of the steamships hope the days of
full loads will always continue, the
Bishop slip is to be dredged deep
enough to admit the largest vessels
now or soon to come into the Pacific,
even when they are loaded to their
capacity.
