PRESCOTT COMMERCIAL CLUB.

The new officers of the Yavapai Com mercial Club reports things looking very bright for the club. Active work was begun this week in soliciting for new members and getting the old char ter members into line. In about two days something over $500 was collected as charter fees and the committee has not nearly completed its work to have a paid up membership of between 130 and 150 members by July 15, at which time the initiation fee will be raised from $25 to $50. Those who desire to take advantage of the S25 rate had bet ter see the secretary. Harry Majors, before that time. as there is so much ground to cover that the committee may not be able to see all who would like to join the club. From the interest so far displayed by the members and the willingness with which they are putting in their money shows that the club is going to be hummer, and the magnificent new quarters will be fur nished in a splendid manner.-Journal Miner

UNION SALOON ROBBED.

The Union saloon on Tenth street was burglarized early Wednesday morning and the proprietors suffered loss of about $50 left in the register. The burglars entered from the rear and did their work quickly and quietly.
 It Is evident they were we'll acquaint- ed with the place and the fact that money was left in the register when the night man went off watch.
 Nothing else of any value was taken from the saloon and it Is not likely that the gentlemen who turned the trick will be disturbed in the enjoy ment of the same. In the future the night receipts will be taken home and the register nailed to the back bar.- Douglas Dispatch.

Daffy's Pure MaIt Mhlskey

There is no uncertainty at all about what the senate will do. IL win dis regard all the appeals that the Utah man be unscated- Nobody makes any charge of polygamy against Mir Smoot- All that is said against him is that he Is an officer of the Mormon church. and that sort of an accusation Is not guins to have any influence on the senate.
 Just because Brigham H. Roberts. "A few years ago. was prevented frorn taking his seat In the house Ot reip- resentatives. a few persons appear 10 think that every Mormon whom any body protests against can be shut out This Is folly. Mormons have represent ed Utah in congress ever since that community was admitted to statehood seven years ago. Mormons repr~- sented it in the house most O; the tisne from the beginning to the end O; its territorial days. A Mormon is inst as eligible to office In this country as is a Presbyterian. a Methodist, a Catholic. an Episcopalisn, or a Jew The United States has no established church. all though there ere some persons in the country who would be glad to create one, providing it would be their church-
 The difference between Roberts case and Shoots is vital Rooerts was a polygamist. He acknowledged this. but said that the plural marriages had taken place before Utah's admission as a state. Shoot is no. now and never has been a polygamist- He has said this often. None of his enemies charge him with being one A person from Utah made such an accusation a y-a- or so ago. but the rest Of Shoots Utah enemies silenced that accuser. The iat- ter know more about the senator than did or does the other persOnage- He was hauled off the case promptly. and that was all there ever was about poly gamy in this affair. AS no one is max ing a charge that the senator has more than one wife. or has ever had more than one. the persons who are asking to have him unseatsd win fail His title to membership in the senate is just as valid as is that of Mir.

AN UNUSUAL ACCIDENT
Boy Killed Near netcalf By Rolling
 Rock.

sad accident occurred at a new mining property located about three miles above the town Of Metcalf last Thursday. says the Clifton Herald. It is owned by our prominent townsman, Isaac M. Stevens, and others. The miners were running a cut on the hill- side and occasionally little Chico Nor ales, the ten-year-cld son of one of them, would get down in the cut with them. The boy was there Thursday, when MT. Stevens went up the hill a little farther to examine the work. While climbing on to the dirt pile above the cut where the miners and little Chico were, Mir. Stevens acci- dentally stepped on some brush that loosened a hidden boulder and started 1t down the hillside toward the miners and boy. Mir. Stevens frantically shout ed to them to Look outi" but while the men escaped the boy was struck on the back of the head by the stone as he started to run. He was bleeding and unconscious when picked up. Shocked and mortified by the accident. MT Stevens immediately summoned a doctor and provided for the care of the boy. But all to no avail. After finger ing in an unconscious condition for 24 hours the boy died. The coroner and boys father, being convinced that the sad affair was clearly an accident, no inquest was held. In deep sorrow and sympathy Mir. Stevens purchased the little coffin and paid the other funeral expenses.

THIS MAN HAS A MEMORY.

Detroit has a memory prodigy in the person of William Putnam, who is in the employ of Uncle Sam as mail car rier. In 1891 he won an Oxford Bible as a prize TOT reciting the golden texts and titles of Methodist Episcopal Sum day school lessons. Five years later he won a gospel story of the fife of Christ for reciting 2.O00 scriptural verses. and car now recite fully 5000. He is thor oughly posted in history and can tell the date of any event of consequence. He can recite the entire constitution of the United States with its amendments. In five different hymn books that have been used at different times in the Methodist Episcopal church he knows the title and number of every song. and at meetings. if anyone wants to know the number of a certain song all he has to do is to furnish the title, and Putnam will tell it. or if told the num- Der, he furnishes the title. Putnam delivers mail on route that comprises 1.400 people, and if anyone wants to know a persons street number. all he has to do is to give the name and Put nam will tell it, or vice versa

a section inches long is done here

least s feet long. The writer has
held that the above test in water is
Of value in determining the absorb
tive powers of the different timbers
with reference to correctly handling
them in treating, and has spent much
time and expense in this direction.
The above is believed to be in con-
firmation of this view. Similarly, the
softer oaks-black, red and water
oaks-absorb 80 per cent: the noun
tain pines of the more southerly
Rockies about 40 and the loblolly
(short leaf pine), as high as so or
more.
1t is easily seen that in each local
ity and with different timbers, the
strength Of the solution must be
varied to meet these characteristics
of the timber. In treating the New
Mexico pines. one-third of pound
was easily introduced in .0l5 solu-
ton. and now at the expiration of II
years some of these are still in serv-
ice.
With the timbers in northwestern
Montana the resins are undoubtedly
the main source Of difficulty in secur-
ing the desired absorption. They are
very resinous and but small por-
ton of the resin can be extracted by
| the steaming. 1t is believed, how
ever, when the resins are disturbed,
as they undoubtedly are by the
steaming, they will assist much in
resisting the actions of decay and
that a less amount of anti-septic is
necessary.

What effect the less amount of

so far been determined. It is proper
to call attention to the fact, however.
The effect of this treatment upon

fact that the increased weight of the
timber amounts to near IS per cent.
A tie weighing 100 pounds before

The Great Northern tie preserving
plant at Somers, Flathead county,
was completed in June, 1901. and be-
gan operations on October I, of the
same year. From that time until
August. 1902, about 100000 ties
had been picked as is said of the
process in common parlance. The
plant is located about threequarters
OF mile in an air line from the John
O'Brien Lumber company's saw mill.
The latter company saws the ties
most of them in triangular shape
and delivers them to the yards of the
preserving plant by two l00-horse
power electric motors. At the pre-
serving yards the ties are left to sea-
son for from 80. to 60 days before
treatment, after which they are
ready for immediate use. About IS
men are employed and the retorts
are in operation day and night. Mr..

These works We're planned with a

largely from we'll grown and large

more difficult to penetrate with tn
