new SCHEME OF
CUT-ThROATERS
Advance Money in Stocks
Pound Down The Price
And fOreCIOSe.

The wonderful expansion of the
mining business IN the past few years
and the interest that the public has
shown In making Investments In min.
ing stocks, has brought to the front a
class of "f%nanciers" who for ways
that are dark and tricks that are
keen, are giving the heather Chinese
points and making the astute Jap feel
like a relic Of q past ge.
The last trick Of the cut rate
broker Is to advance money on stock
certificates, and the contract he re-
quires a customer to sign is a work of
art that would puzzle a Philadelphia
lawyer. About every possible con.
tingency appears to be covered to the
advantage of the broker, and the
owner of the stock buys a vsritable
gold brick when he obtains a loan On
his stock certificates.
The cut-rate broker, while exact.
ing 4 liberal rate of interest for the
loan, also expects to make money
through various means ut the expense
Of the borrower. A favorite method
which these gentry use Ia to make a
concerted drive at Il particular stock
at a particular time, In order to make
a quotation which will enable the
broker to call on his customer for
more security. aud In default of the
customer putting up u satisfactory
security under the wording of the
prommissory note given ut the time
the loan Is made. the broker Is ut
liberty to sell the stock. OF course
a bona fde sale is very rarely ever
made. The broker simply notifies
his customer that the stock has been
sold. ana frequently notifies the
cosutomer that there il IA Lalanc"
due the broker, on account Ut the
stock not having brought the amount
of the loan; but the broker gets the
stock every time.
Most of these notes are made pay.
able at from four to nine months and
during that time II IL not IA difficult
matter for the broker, In collision
with some friends of his on the Min
ing Exchange, to engineer n quotation
which will wipe out the customers
margin.
Any one who will take the trou-
BILE to look Mt the quotations of min
ing stocks of the so-called Mining
Exchange when 1t started business and
at the present time, cai' see that most
stocks are selling o at very much
less than when the Exchange started
business.
The cut rate brokers commenced to
loan money on stock certificates just
about the time that the Exchange
started In business, aud a great many
people regard II rs a curious coinci-
dence. The fact remains that prices
of stocks have had a steady decline
with very few exceptions, and we
venture to say that when brokers have
secured a pretty good supply of stock
certificates from customers who have
borrowed money, somebody will have
to pay for higher quotation on stocks.

A VOICE FROM THE VANoUIsHED

Missouri's gone republican. There amt
much more to say,
Pm waitin' now to see the world turn
round the other way.
Considerin' what has happened 'twon't
surprise me in the least
To see the sun rise in the west instead
of in the east.
l half expect to see the sky come down
and rain ascend
There really amt no tellin' where the
thing is goin' to end.
l can't find proper language for express
sim my dismay;
Missouri's gone republican. There amt
much more to say.
1t isn't any wonder that my courage
kind o. fails;
Twas hard when West Virginia went
a-waverin' in the scales,
Twas even worse to realize the music
of the band
Took on a special meanin' when it play
ed ''My Maryland.
But when you start a-tumblin', why
there amt no way to tell
Just when you finally have reached the
bottom of the well.
Give 'em Tennessee and Texas to in
crease the strange array,
Missouri's gone republican. There amt
much more to say.

Merely Railroad Talk.

If Grangeville and Lewiston
don't look sharp Elk City will be
in the railroad building business
before either of them. The
amount of powder burnt by the
press of those towns in the con-
struction of their paper railroads
is something fierce to contem-
plate. But that is ever the way
with those little country villages,
they begin whistling for a rail-
road just as soon as they are big
enough to support their first
country store. The ambition is
laudable, however, and does no
harm, and sometimes leads to
really good and even great re-
suits. We do not look for rail-
roads on Camas Prairie, however,
until it is proven that the miner
al country back of it is properly
opened, when the combined ton
age of the two would furnish the
only reason entertained nowadays
for building a railroad, and the
people of Grangeville and the
prairie are in a position to hasten
that time materially if they will
do so.

SANTA CRUZ COUNTY.

All the ranchers are now busilv engaged in blowing and planting and they keep closely to their ran ches.
 Upon the Flux mine, on the west side of the Patagonia noun tains a cross cut running under the ore body is developing fine ore.
 The Happy Jack Mining Co.,, which is operating fine properties in the Santa Rita mountains. is producing very high grade ship ping ore.
 In the Hardshell mine, near Harshaw, drift is being run up- on the 325 foot level, from which an upraise is being made. Both drift and upraise are in good ore.
 In the Hermosa mine near Har- shaw, the tunnel running 10 cut the ore body below the old work ings is going steadily, and will soon reach the point where the up- raise will be started toward the old workings.
 Mir. l. N Curtis, general mana ger for the Globe Exploration Co.,, Is reported to have returned to the Mowry mine, near Harshaw, with the intention of inaugurating exten- sive development work upon that valuable property.
 Proto Brothers are pushing operations upon their Abunduncia | and Thessalia mines. on the west side of the Patagonia mountains, not far north from the Washing ton Camp road, and are making | fine showing of high grade ore.
 A great deal of activity in the Tyndall district during the year is anticipated. Besides active opera tions upon the Goldtree group of mines, mentioned last week, the Trenton, Wandering J w and Apache Chief will all be scenes of great deal of work. Farther over, in Josephine cahon, there will also be great activity.
 From over in the Harshaw re- zion there come good reports of rich petdnca ores being taken out of the tunnel on the Abe Lincoln mine (formerly the Blue Nose). Superintendent J Johnso ayers that the Abe Lincoln is a contin- nation of the great Worlds Fair ledge, and that it will prove as great mine. For the sake of Santa Cruz county it is hoped that his view is correct.

STOMACH DOSING WILL NOT CURE
Only Way to Cure Catarrh is
by Breathing Hyomei.

Ask any physician if catarrh is a
blood disease and he will tell you that
it is diseased condition of the mu-
cous membrane and that it cannot be
cured by blood purifiers, pills, tablets,
or other forms of stomach dosing.
The only sensible and scientific way
of curing catarrh is by the use of Hy-
omei.
Breathed for few minutes, four or
five times day, through hard rub
Der inhaler that is so small that it can
be carried in the vest pocket, Hyomei
will absolutely destroy all catarrhal
germs and cure the disease. Catarrh
can never exist where Hyomei is used.
1t has a two-fold action, destroying
the disease germs in the air passages
and lungs, and soothing and healing
the infiamed mucous membrane.
Hanson & Emerson, one of the
most reliable firms in Sank Centre are
giving their personal guarantee with
every package of Hyomei they sell,
that it will effect a cure or they will
return the money. They have had
scores of reports of remarkable cures
of both acute and chronic cases OF
catarrh by Hyomei.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
81 90 and comprises an inhaler, a
bottle of Hyomei and dropper. The
inhaler will last a lifetime; and adj
ditional bottles of Hyomei can be
obtained for Soc.

LET ALL ANSWER.

Herbert J. Miller, candidate for
congress in the second district,
writes Congressman McCleary an
open letter and asks him eleven
pointed questions. We think every
candidate for congress in Mime
sofa and the United States ought to
be required to answer them. They
cover points of vital interest to
every voter in the country. They
can be answered by eyes" or emo. :"
How many will respond?
First-Would you favor a tariff
built on the line of the difference
in labor cost here and abroad?
Second-Do you believe that the
59th congress should take up the
question of tariff revision?
Third-When the tariff is re-
vised, do you believe that the
revision should be on an ascending
instead of descending scale?
Fourth-Do you still maintain
that "revision upward can always
be undertaken safely"
Fifth-Do you know that a COM
bination exists whose purpose is TO
exact enormous profits on the price
of lumber? If so, or if such is the
fact, do you favor the retention of
the present tariff on lumber?
Sixth-If no such combination
exists, do you still favor the reten-
ton of the present tariff rate on
lumber?
Seventh-Do you believe in a
protective tariff on wood pulp and
pulp wood?
Eighth-Do you believe that
commodities that are absolutely
controlled by trust or monopoly
of any kind should receive the
benefit of protection?
Ninth-Do you believe that in
dustries that sell the comm odities
they produce cheaper in the markets
that they are protected against than
they do at home, should be pro-
tected?
Tenth-Do you believe that the
industries known as the ''steel
trust" and the international Har-
vester Trust" require, deserve or
should have protection to guard
and develop them?
Eleventh-Do you believe in
reciprocity? If SO. do you believe
that republican reciprocity means
reciprocity in noncompeting pro-
ducts only?

Official announcement as to the

The same paper takes issue with
the report that Eddy had removed
from Glenwood to Sank Centre,
where his other paper is, and insists
that he still lives at Glenwood and
will continue there.
As the Bemidji Sentinel has al
ready brought out Darius F. Reese

there is evidence that at least two
politicians in Minnesota have no
great fear of long campaign.-St,

Wireless Telegraphy in the
Far East.

The recent successful employment
of wireless biography in the far East
in affording means of communities
ton from the beleagured Port Arthur,
and especially in the transmission OF
war news from, the war zone, has re-
newed attention to its potential utility.
1t is known that wireless station was
established at Golden Hill, at least as
long ago as the spring of 1903, for
regular communication between Port
Arthur and the Russian warships in
the Gulf of Pe-chi-li. In the waters
OF the far East there are at least five
different systems of wireless teleg-
raphy on the various warships and in
the forts. The British have more
than twenty vessels in those waters
equipped with the Marconi system in
which the filings coherer is used.
The Italians, also, employ the Mar
conf system with the Solari coherer.
The Germans are using the Slaby-
Arco or the Braun system. The
French vessels are equipped with the
Braun system. The Japanese are en-
ploying a system which, it is asserted
is a modification of Marconi's; but
this is denied by the Japanese. 1t is
known that wireless experiments have
been carried on by the Japanese De-
partment of Communications and the
