circulated through the street; only S

To Repay Damages.

Nj Racket proposed that if the bin
were to pass there should be included
a section providing that the damage
which the building of the road would
cause to property should be paid for by

cent lead in carload shipments
and almost invariably high silv
er values, The most important
contributors to the past year:
shipments were Cave, Pacific
Turtle, Democrat, Silver Brick
and Barton. All of these mines
have produced a large amount Of
ore and are still mere prospects
in depth. They are all so situa.
ted that they can be tapped by
tunnels to great depth and prom.
Use extensive ore reserves when
thoroughly exploited. The Tur.
tie mine was purchased during
the year by the Standard Metal
Production Co. of Philadelphia,
who are actively developing
the property at the present
time. They have opened up a
fine showing of ore and are plan
ming TO erect a mill on the prop
erty in the spring.
There are a number of fine
lead-silver lead prospects and
mines scattered along this belt
for 40 miles lying idle at the
present time and should the deal
for the big properties above re-
ferred to be consummated and a
decent size smelter built, it would
reap a rich tribute of custom ore
from a dozen different districts,
for Custer county's silver-lead
resources are not confined to this
main Salmon river belt alone, for
rich deposits of this class of ore
are being developed in the Sea-
foam, Greyhound Mountain,
Sheep Mountain, East Fork and
the Lost river ranges, all of
which would come to active life
and profitable production if af-
forded a decent local market.

The long looked for decision
in the great Merger case, North.
ern Securities Company VS.. the
United States, was given out on
the 18th by Justice Harlan in the
Supreme Court. 1t was held
that state corporations are under
Federal control when they inter
fere with interstate commerce.
A state may grant a monopoly
within its own borders if it wish
es. The Minnesota court was
sustained in every particular,
and the merger declared to be
unlawful. Any restraint of inter
state commerce is forbidden.
Competition between interstate
railroads must be free.

accountable,
1t is no wonder that compare
lively few attain success. The
average young man starts out
with the idea that he will reap
something different from what
he sows. He is often the very
persontication of thoughtlessness
and selfishness, and he can't see
beyond the tip of his nose. He
thinks of success as a pretty
good thing, but he is not willing
to work hard and unremittingly
to get it. The idea of sacrifice
doesn't appeal to him a little bit.
He prefers to strut about, put on
airs and play the contemplate
snob. What does he, care for
success or the serious things of
life Why, he is a man of the
world 4! He can't bother his pre-.
cious head about such things.
But there comes that terrible
reckoning, and he realizes that
this is a world of realities. Gen
orally too late for his own good
and the worlds, he appreciates
the fact that, after all is said and
done, the one great thing that
stands out as worth while in this
world is character, and that
kindness, a fellow-feeling for
mankind, courtesy, considera-
ton, self-denial, self-sacrifce,
self-control, ere the things that
are worth having and worth
striving for. The crucial test of
men consists in the estimate that
they place upon these things.

Is the Associated Press defunct
or only comatose :? President
Eliot Of Harvard, with eight
other college presidents and
many eminent authors and pub
~licists, organized a week or two
ago as a philippine Independ-
ence Committee" and the Assoc
lated Press hasn't heard of it
yet. If they had organized for
any other purpose under the
sun, it would have sent a column
of their letters, speeches, and
purposes to the ends of the
country. Is it too much to polit-
ely invite this somewhat preten
tious Institution to wake up ?

A great discovery is announc-
ed which promises to be Of great
benefit to the South. Cotton

Il CRUCIAL TEST.

There comes to every man,
sooner or later, the conviction
that life and the world are made
up of so many decisions, and that
success or failure, happiness or
unhappiness results as each Of
these decisions tends toward the
good or the bad.
The crucial test of men, there
fore, does not consist in any one
decision, though it may temper
arily be of great moment, but
rather in a deliberately chosen
and protracted course of action
is, in turn. dependent upon the
estimate that the Individual
places upon things. Social sue
cess may be considered the all
