St. Clair Creamery Association Holds
It's Annual Nesting.


Its Annual Nesting.
From Fridays Daily.
On Wednesday afternoon the st.
Clair Creamery association held its an
nual meeting, electing the following Of
ficers: President, John Bestman; vice
president, George May; secretary, Frank
Lossow; treasurer, Charles Pagenkopf;
directors, Frank Amberg, Fred Kruse
and George Juliar; manager, Chris
Fronk. The affairs of the association
were reported to be in good condition,
so the prospect for the coming year is
very bright.
The opening season benefits all kinds
of outdoor artisans. Among these An
drew Quinn, whose particular joy is to
punch the face of Mother Earth with a
well outfit, is very happy. He has just
finished job for Mr. Kruse and is now
engaged in putting down well for
Charles Pagenkopf. In week or so
another one on the farm or Martin
Welggen will be driven.
"John, the Baptist Vox Claimants in
Deserto," was the subject of Father
Sherlock's sermon on Sunday morning.
He argued that even as John prepared
the way for the coming of Jesus, SO we
should by penance prepare our way to a
proper reception of the spiritual fruits
of the coming Christmas season. Father
Sherlock is very busily engaged in rails
ing the $500 still remaining of the
church debt. The season of rejoicing is
an especially good time in which to
prosecute this good work.

A PERTINENT QUESTION

ASK then, Has the President been q
good citizen, . good soldier, Q good man
In all personal relations? Is he o man
Of intelligence, Of education? Does he
know this country well? Does he know
the world outsider Has he studied
law. history and politics? Has he had
great chances to learn, and has he i'm
proved them? Is he sound and strong In
mind, body and soul? Is he accessible
and friendly to all sorts and conditions
Of men? Has he the courage and the
candor, and the God-given ability to
speak to the people and tell them what
he thinks? To all these questions they
will answer, Yes. Then what 10 your
objection to him? They will either
stand speechless or they will answer
with the parrot cry which we have
heard o often: He is unsafe
"In . certain sense we will have to
admit this to be true. To every grade
Of lawbreaker, high or law ; to . mar
who would rob a till or q ballot box ; to

and the humbug. Theodore Roosevelt Is

Camps at q Standstill To-day May
Be Moving Tomorrow.
The revival of an old mining camp at
Reveille, Nye County. Nevada. is an in.
stance of the energy with which the
mining industry is being urged in that
State. Reveille was an old and practi-
cally abandoned camp 80 years ago.
During its early days in the latter six.
ties it was q shipper Of high grade ores,
but the rich spots were not numerous
enough for the times and gradually
mining in that district came to q stand
still. Now, however. with a railroad
at Tonopah, only so miles away to the
westward, new conditions have devel-
oped for Reveille district just as they
have for many other districts, both old
and new, in Nevada and Utah.
The veins of the district are large and
well mineralized. and the probability is
that ome Of the new undertakings will
become profitable and long continued
producers, while some of the old ones
will share in a measur this revival of
prosperity. The camp is only another
illustration of how time and changing
conditions make the unsuccessful and
poverty stricken camp Of to-day the
rich and prosperous one Of tomorrow.
