STOCKHOLDERS
WILL MEET
Mining Bureau Will Hold An Ad'
iOurned Meeting
Soon

Much will depend upon the actions
Of the members Of the bureau as well
as the citizens of Lewiston, as to
whether the bureau shall be main
tanned in this city as a permanent fix
ture. There is now a debt against the
bureau Of something in the neigh
hood Of $1,000 which viii have to be
taken care Of by the members and 1t
is stated that the membership has de-
creased at such rate in the past few
months that the burden of the debt
VIII fan on but few.
The fact that mining bureau IS
maintained in Lewiston will be OF
much value 10 the mining industry in
Central Idaho in the future and every
effort must be made to keep the or
ganization alive
In speaking of the organization
well known mining man today said:
From all the information that l can
CLEAN the bureau has not been pay
ing proposition under the present man
agement and at the coming meeting the
matter of why so many members nave
dropped out should be thoroughly In
vestigated There is no question that
the roposition is a good thing and the
members who now belong should all be
present at the coming meeting and dis
cuss methods as to how the bureau
should be maintained. A corporate
body must be organized which will give
the bureau a financial standing and If
the excuses OF the bureau are kept
thoroughly in hand there is no reason
why n deficit should occur"
There will be an adjourned meeting
of stockholders of the Central Idaho
Mining bureau at their rooms in the
/ Thiessen building Saturday February
/ 10, for the purpose OF taking action on
making the present bureau n corporate
body and to discuss means to form a
mining exchange to be conducted in
connection with the bureau, but under
separate heads.
All stockholders or members of the
bureau should be present in person If
possible to help further the plan and
to use their best efforts to promoting
the well fare of the bureau and the
mining industry of Central Idaho in
general.
In the past the mining bureau has
been of inestimable value to this sec
tion of the country in being the means
Of bringing before the public many ex-
cellent mining properties tributary to
Lewiston.

Near pebbled walk and quaint kiosk
In costiliest urns their colors rest;
They beam on beautys fragrant breasti

You know what splendor, pomp and pride
Full oft your brilliant sisters see:
What sorrow, too, and bitter fears
What mad farewells and hopeless tearsi
How some are kept in old. dear books
That once in bridal wreaths were worn.
How some are kissed with tender looks
And later tossed aside with scorn;
How some their taintless petals lay
On icy foreheads, pale as they!

Shy roadside roses, may you bless
Tho face that rules your modest lot
Like rustic maids that meekly stand
Below the ladies of their landl

eEMBLE ON RULERS LIVES.
English People Make Practice of This
Form of Insurance.

Form of insurance.
Policies, I'll wager, are already
being taken out in London on the life
of little Alexis, the new heir to the
Russian throne" said an insurance
agent The English gamble horribly
IN life insurance, and Alexis must ap-
peal to them as a wonderful risk.
They will pay high for him, though.
The insurance rates on all royal
lives are a tribute to the power of
the nihilists and anarchists, for they
are SO huge as to be almost prohibi-
tive. The rate on the King of Eng
land is enormous. and among mon.
archs his is the lowest rate of any.
That on the Russian car is the high
est. The car is bad risk. Many
companies would not insure him on
any consideration.
But Lloyds, the great London con-
Germ, would insure anything or any
body-Prof. Langley going up in one
of his flying machines, a Japanese spy
about to enter Port Arthur, a Russian
battleship going into battle. And hence
Lloyds is willing to insure the poor
little Russian heir. and certain class
of men, taking advantage of this fact.
are procuring policies upon the baby's
life.
Gambling on lives is ghastly
form of sport, and believe that it is
practiced nowhere but in England. It
ought not TO be practiced there. The
law ought to prohibit it At Lloyds.
however. it is always going on. Poli-
cies at Lloyds are continually being
taken out on persons of eminence ali
over the world. "

Passing of Partisan Restaurants.

"A good many of the famous and
long established restaurants of Paris
have gone out of business of late"
said w. Wright, an English gentleman
who has lived many years at the
French capital.
These were generally resorts where
the cooking was superb and the
charges high-places where the aver
age patron would give from 25 to 80
francs for his dinner. These high
priced establishments found that busi-
ness was leaving them, and perforce
closed their doors. Nowadays if you
see people in a Partisan restaurant
where the tariff is high you can gam
bic on their being oreigners-usually
Americans.
THE Frenchman of to-day is moth
ing if not economical. If he is in
clined to gamble he will go to one of
the numerous baccarat clubs, where
he will get dinner for six francs
that easily cost the management
twice that sum. The reason such
meal is furnished at loss is to keep
the players in the house, the proprie
tor knowing that after man has had
a good dinner he is in a mood for fur
ther encounters with fortune. If al
lowed to go away he would satisfy his
hunger elsewhere and probably omit
further gambling for that day

Large Rhode Island Hay Crop.

Ia SO '1'N"S iS'oIo EIdJ SFOP.
The one salvation of Rhode Island
farmers this year is the hay crop,
which has been almost phenomenal,
the records of the State Board of. Ag-
riculture showing very great in
crease in the size of the crop over
preceding years. The after-feed has
not come UP as well as might be ex-
pected on account of the cold wealth
er, but it is on the big hay crop that
the farmer must get his money this
year; and very few grangers will be
able to show balance on the right
side of the ledger with the advantage
of increased hay money, as the pota-
toes and fruit in many sections of the
state will be dead loss.-Providence
