NEW KIND OF MONEY.
Novel Paper VIII Make hank Notes
Flexible as SILK.

Treasury officials are much interested
in experiments now in progress with n
new kind of paper to be used in nation
al currency, says the Washington cor
respondent of the Philadelphia Press.
Mr. f. II. Fowler, chief craftsman of
the coast and geodetic survey. and u.
y. Hoover, chief printer of the bureau
of engraving and printing, have invent
ed chemical treatment for paper that
is said to render il soft and vclvety and
to make it absolutely nonshrinkable. If
adopted the process Will alter the char
acter of paper money, and instead of
the stiff. crisp, cracking bank note the
paper currency will be soft to the
touch. 1t is claimed that sixty days
less time will be required to manufac-
ture bank notes under this process than
under the present method, n very inn
portant consideration when Il supply of
bank notes is required in hurry.
Under the present process of printing
paper money the paper has to be thor
Oughly soaked in water. While in that
condition one side of the bill is printed.
The sheet is then placed in a steam
room and kept under n high tempera-
ture for thirty days. II is again soaked
and the reverse side of the bill printed
Another thirty days drying process is
then required. Where n third impress
sion on a bill is necessary. and that is
required when printing is done in two
cOlors, this wetting and drying process
must be repeated and another month
consumed in it's production. The new
process does away with the soaking Of
the paper in water. There is no shrink
age OF the paper either, and that is re-
Garded as n valuable improvement
There are n few details regarding the
methods of applying the new prepare
ton to paper yet to be worked out. but
the treasury officials believe that it can
be expensive.

Memorial to n snnnrr.

The women of Oregon have formed
an association for the purpose of
erecting a statue of Sacajewea at the
Lewis and Clark Centennial exhibition,
says the New York Evening Journal.
Sacajewea was an Indian woman of
the ShOshone tribe WHO was of great
service to the explorers Lewis and
Clark. She smoOthed their way with
her own, tribe and with the Flatheads
and Nez Perces and procured ponies
for them at time when they would
have been forced to abandon the expe-
dition but for her assistance. She act
ed as their guide, and 1t was said Of
her that she had the instinct of hom-
ing pigeon in threading the wilderness.
The proposed memorial will cost &c.
900.

Thousands of, Venetian workingmen
while rejoicing in the triumph of GiuI

deeply regret that his genial presence
and helpful ministry will be known in

ring appeals to the conscience of Ven
lee.
This scene is a forcible reminder of
the character, methods and power of
the new pope. He believed first of all
In close human contact with his people,
and then in the efficacy of magnificent
church decoration and striking ceremoI
NAL for the promotion of an elevated
state of soul. He thoroughly enjoyed
the splendor of the cathedral of st.
Mark and witnessed with satisfaction
how its spaciousness an. beauty af-
fected the worshipers. He was wont to
organize special services involving dra-
matte elements.
On st. Marks day, before 6 o'clock in
the morning. the cathedral was always
filled with an eager multitude. Large
gondolas brought boat loads of work
ingmen from the different parishes in
the city to the landing steps on the
Grand canal Each parish formed a
procession, with the parish priest at its
head in his black cassOck singing the
litany One procession followed anoth,
err into the church and up to the chan
eel steps, where each in turn broke
ranks. The importing OF these paro-
chiaI professions continued until st.
Marks was packed almost entirely
with workingmen and their spiritual

Then Cardinal SartO, gorgeously ar
rayed. mounted the pulpit and preach
ed Il sermon. His natural eloquence
made doubly effective the incubation
of lofty ideals of private morality, pa
triotism and civic duty. His sermons
were always punctuated with applause
Nobody could overlook the close sym
pathy between the preacher and the
people. 1t is thought i'll Venice that
such Il leader will breathe new spirit
into the papacy which will revive the
most remote disciples of the Catholic
| faith.

The work done by Mr., Frick during
the Homestead strike forms an impor-
tant part of the work. The author
draws a strong contrast between Mr..
Frick. whom he describes as fighting
the battle for the company beset by as
sassins, harassed by political influences
and the like, while Mr.. Carnegie is fish
ing for salmon or playing golf at Skibo
castle. AS a result of the strike, the
credit of winning which is given to
Mr.. Prick, the work says:
It is believed by the Carnegie officials,
and with some show of reason, that this
magnificent record was TO a great extent
made possible by the company'S victory
at Homestead From that time on the
firm profited by the heavy investments 1t
had made In labor saving machinery, and
costs got so low that one year when the
Carnegfes made over $4,000. 900 their chief
competitor, the Illinois Steel company,
had upward of 81 900. 900 loss. The follow
ing year the Carnegies made over $5,000,-
600. while the Chicago company made only
$3.50. 900. BY 1897 the cost of steel rails on
cars at the Braddock mill was only $12 a
gross ton.
Every detail of the bitter quarrel be-
tween Mr.. Carnegie on the one hand
and Mr.. Henry Phipps and Mr.. II. c.
Prick on the other is spread out for
public view backed by documentary ev-
idence, copies of confidential docu-
ments, trade secrets, cost of production
and the like.

A Youthful Horsethief.
on

Sheriff Grant arrived this morning
from Spokane, having in charge Harry
Green, l6 year old boy who formerly
resided near Mabton. The lad is charg-
ed with stealing a horse from f. E. Sell
ley, Mabton rancher, sometime in De-
tober. The animal was recently located
in Prosser feed stable, and as the stable
man demands quite sum for feeding
the animal the owner will probably have
to resort to suit in replevin to regain
possession. If this is the first offense
of the youngster, he may escape with a
reform school sentence should the crime
be proved against him.

From a comparison of the foregoing
figures it will be seen that there was
considerable scratching on both side,.
and the election officers had to be very
particular in calling, as the voters al!
seemed inclined to take whack at some

THE ELECTION Is OVER
PEOPLES TICKET ELECTED
With the Exception of Treasurer, the
"Citizens" are Beaten by Over
wheIming MajOrities.

There was an election in this city
man on the Peoples ticket except one,
and onlooters at the various voting
places, soon after the judges commenc-
ed to count the vote, thought "the tail
would go with the hide" and even Don
ovan, the "strong man. of the Citizens
for treasurer, would go on Salt river
trip along with his confreres, Every
body expected a big vote out of the reg
istry of zoos, and they were not deceiv-
ed. Although the weather was cold and
gloomy, there was a steady call for tick
cts at each of the polling places, COM
mencing early in the morning and keep
ing up the lick until the closing of the
polls at p. m.
The business streets did not evidence
much of the active work being done. out
side the constant passing of various We
hicles engaged in hauling in voters, but
the fact that intense interest had been
worked up has been recognized for sew
eral days, the publication of various ac-
crimonious articles in several of the
city papers serving to line up
the followers of the different stand
ards. Probably the greatest credit for
the result is due to the superior powers
of organization and political acumen of
]. o. Gull, the Peoples nominee for city
attorney. Mr.. Gull is comparatively a
new conner here, and has no extensive
acquaintance, but he had charge of the
campaign for his ticket and proved him
self a POLITICAL strategist of no mean
calibre, even securing the active assist
ance of several ladies in helping his
cause. The main cause of the result is
generally attributed to hostility to the
Water, Light & Power Co., and the Cit
liens ticket, whether deservedly or not,
were credited with being too friendly to
that organization.
The result by wards shows the follow
ing: Votes cast-First ward, 302: sec
ond ward, 337; third ward 200.

VENTILATION.
Mine Workings Should Have Plenty Of

Mine Workings Should Have Plenty Of
Air.
One of the most important matters
for the consideration of mine
manager Is the ventilation of the
workings. II Is true some are far
superior to Others in this regard, due
to many causes. A mine having large
shafts or tunnels, with roomy drifts,
ETC., is naturally better ventilated
than where the workings are small.
A mine heavily timbered generates
more foul air than one where
little or no timber Is employed, par
ticularly where the air is humid.
There are many ways in which mine
air becomes contaminated. The
breathing of the workers; the burn
ing of lights, (other than electric);
the oxidation (rottng) Of timbers;
all consume oxygen and produce
carbon dioxde. Besides these
noxious gases, floating dust, smoke
and other foreign BODIES In the
atmosphere help to cOntaminate the
air the miner must breathe. An alb.
normally high temperature Is also
prejudical to the health Of the miner,
particularly when there is much
moisture present.
Mines which are naturally ventil-
ated, by reason Of connection with
the surface at several points, as In
mine opened by tunnel which 10
connected with the surface with
raise, or workings connected with
the surface by two or more shafts.
Artificial ventilation is provided

of compressed air are employed this
also assists ventilation, though In the
case of the latter the air IL some
times vitiated by lubricating oil aud

by reason of the oil being heated to

that the highly heated oil has been
