Whatever you do, don't loose sight
of the fact that Jim Lakin is a Young
vigorous man, strong in intellect,
and absolutely honest. Compare him
with Tom Davis, and he towers above
him in every respect. except in
wealth. But the plain common people
of this district know they will fare
better in the hands of Jim Lakin than
in the hands of Millionaire, Davis.
One is young. .the other old one is
ascending the ladder of success, the
other has almost finished his course !;
one is healthy and strong, the other
is old and decrepit; one stands for
protection. the other for free trade !;
one believes in republican principles.
the other has always opposed them i,
one endorses the present administra-
tion, the other says ii is "a failure /;
one will be elected, the other Will be

gressional district, chuose between
the two, but choose wisely, and Jim
Lakin will be elected on the 9Th day

has made friend of you, Wherever

not abuse him severely it recognizes

Dowie ProcIaims Overtime Work for
Stork

Dowie ProeIaims Overtime Work for
Stork.
Chicago.-New baby every year for
every family in lions husky cohorts
overtime work for the stork-away
with race suicide.
Such is the last ukase by Apostle
John Alexander Dowie. The former
ruler of the north shore colony wants
to see birth rate figures go soaring
skyward in a way that will make sta
tisticians sit up and sharpen their
pencils. In the same breath the mas
ter of Zion commands that there shall
be no kissing am hugging in court
ship.
Apostle Dowie always has express
ed a great admiration for President
Roosevelt and also has opposed race
suicide. Now he has taken practi.
cal step toward putting his ideas into
effect, and today he issued formal
order that henceforth every couple in
his flock shall lead little lamb to
the baptismal font every IL months.
1t is Dowie's hope that from now on
when one wants to know the size of q
Zionists family all that is necessary
will be to know how many years the
Dowieite has been married.
Members of the Christian Catholic
church community at Zion City, fol
lowing the command of the first apos
tie in all things, say they will obey
the order.

MINING NOTES.

The men of the Crows Nest Pass
coal mines have been called out by
President Sherman of the United Mine
Workers of America.
Powerful speeches in favor of the
establishment of a department of
mines and mining were advanced be-
fore the Transmississippi Commercial
congress at recent meeting at Port
land.
Commencing next week the old Unit
ed States marble Quarries in Stevens
session of the Nerd Antique company
and open a new chapter.
Owing to the closedown at the Gran
by smelter to connect up new furnaces
the Boundary ore shipments were
smaller last week than for many
months.
1t is reported at Wallace, Idaho, that
the New Jersey group, north of the
Hercules, have recently uncovered six
feet of low grade carbonates in the
tunnel. The ore was disclosed about
1875 feet from the portal of the tunnel
al a depth of $50 feet. c. B. Johnson,
who has been working on the Napo-
leon group, north of the New Jersey,
reports nncovering IL foot ledge. 1t
has not yet been explored.
Eric Stevenson, leaser of the Grown
Point mine, at Rossland, B. c., has let
a contract to w. F. Lingle to haul 5000
tons of ore from the mine three quar-
tiers of a mile to the Columbia &
Western railway. Mr.. Stevenson's
lease runs for one year, and he is re-
stricted to the extraction of 5000 tons.
It is said there is $4,000 tons of ore
in sight in the old workings.
Directors of the Tamarack & Ches-
apeake Mining company, owning prop
erty between the Custer and Hercules
mines in the Occur d'Alenes. decided
at recent meeting to commence ship
ping ore from the mine at once. An
arrangement for the treatment of the
product has been concluded with the
Salt Lake smelter, and the first con-
signment of ore will be forwarded in
few days.
E. B. Braden, formerly representa-
tive of the American Smelling & Re.
fning company at Spokane, has been
promoted to be one of the three west
ern committeeman representing the
American Smelling Securities COM
pany. That is the branch of the smelt.
ing trust on the Pacific coast. He will
! join his family at Helena and they
will go to San Francisco to make their
home.
