The United states is the richest
county IN the world, as far as ready
cash Is concerned. This fact IL
brought home 10 the people by the
annual report OF the treasurer OF the
republic, summary OF which was
given out the other day. According
to his statement, the treasury now
contains nearly $3.50, ,o0o,0oo In gold,
a greater supply than this or any
other nation has ever had
IL Is difficult TO form a conception
OF what this great sum OF gold means.
Roughly speaking, there are 81 800, .
600 ounces OF IL, or 3.i25. 900 pounds.

The country that can show such

reserve Is only a part OF the resources

The increase In gold circulation hai
been greater than the increase In an.

any necessity for boarding the yellow

Gov. Folk as 4 Possibility.

Some astute politicians IN these
parts bold that the result OF the elec-
tion this week In the east make Gov.
Joseph W. Folk, OF Missouri, very
prominent candidate for the demo-
cratic presidential nomination.
There appears to be reason back or
this belief, for 1t Is evident that the
peoplei all over the country are op-
posed to machine rule, and when ii
comes to ring smashcrs, the governor
OF Missouri heads the list. He was
In great demand In the late cam
paiga wherever the fight against corr
ruption was being levied. lie made
a notable speech for the rciormers In
Philadelphia, and during the last few
days before election he made whirl-
wind tour OF Ohio In q special train.
Indications are that the people OF
the United States aie looking more
to men now than TO platforms, and
they have determined to put a stop
to grating and TO break up corrupt
political machines.
With President Roosevelt outof the
road In the next presidential cam
paign, 1t does look as though Gov.
Folk might sweep the entire country.
There Is no one In the republican
party upon whom the R0oseycltian
mantle could fall with grace. but
Gov. Folk stands for the same things
that SO many citizens ind to admire
In the president.
IL the nation Is looking Tor an apos-
tia OF honesty, rather than leader
of any particular political faith, u
can hardly llnd the equal OF Mr.. Folk
In this respect.
Personality counts for q great deal

Youns Men in Politics.

There are many persons here who
are acquainted with Robert Ruther-
ford Mccormick. who was elected
Tuesday as president Of the drainage
board OF Chicago, these having met
! him while be was spending a vaca-
tion here d few years ago.
The oiflce to which he. has been
elected Is second In Importance only
to that OF mayor. IL pays salary
OF 81 900 year and there are some
900 employees whose appointment Is
controlled by the president OF the
board. There was hard light waged
against Mr.. Mccormick but he se-
cured u good majority, thus winning
Il signal triumph.
Mr.. Mccormick Is a young man; he
belongs to wealthy family and does
not need the salary. He went into
politics because, like so many other
young men in recent years, hc bc-
iieved 1t was the duty OF such as he to
take nn active interest In public at
fairs.

Shipments From Gilmore.

Among the lead-silycr properties OF
the state there are very few that ont
rank the Gilmore In Lcnhi county.
Readers or the Statesman are some
what familiar with 1t. The mine
produces quantities of ore carrying
large percentages OF lead and good sill
yer values. This ore Is so good that
1t Is shipped over 50 miles to the
railway and then to the snelters.
When the season opened II was am
nounced the company had made ar
rangements to send out 30 tons day,
but 1t seems the shipments have run
considerably greater than that.
A recent issue of the Salt Lake
Tribune carries this information con-
cerning the company's operations
"After being isolated for six months
in the diegings OF Gilmore Ida.
President and General Manager, A.
s. Rose, OF the Gilmore Mining COM
pany, returned to the city during the
day and will be here until Saturday
before resuming his journey to Pitts
burg, where he will spend the winter.
President Rose brings news OF a
district little skopen OF in this Sec
tion, and yet one In which numerous
Salt Lake operators are heavily In
terested.
"The ores Of the Gilmore property,
| located at the headwaters OF the
Lemhi river, are rich In both lead
and silver, affording to the company
good margin Of profit, despite a
wagon haul OF 80 miles to Dubois, the
nearest shipping point. The crude
ore shipped, says Mr.. Rose, carries
an average OF so per cent lead and p
ounces Of silver per ton. while the
recently installed concentrating plant
Is turning out product of consider.
ably higher values While there has
been no attempt to crowd the output
an average OF 500 tons monthly las
been maintained, and the develop.
ment work has now reached stage
that gives large ore reserves.
"The district. says Mr. Rose, has
been active throughout the summer
and although the winter is hard, worl
will be continued on several proper
ties. The Silver Mountain mine
operated by j. d. Wood and his asso
ciates, Is In promising condition
and the Liberty Mining company o
the same section now has on the
market Its first shipment Of good ore
Mr.. Rose is enthusiastic over th'
outlook for the development OF Ida

presses his firm belief that when TIN

portation facilities 1t will prove on

the Sacred @ougll.

Mistletoe seems now lnsepalHDie
from Christmas, but it was not always
so. The use Of the mistletoe in our
christmas festivities is generally con-
eeded to be a survival Of Druidic cere-
monial. Looking back now, we can see
that to this worship of the mistletoe'
and the wonderful cures the Druios
Effected by means of it, was due
much TO the yeneration in which they
themselves were held. 10 them 1t was
of Divine origin, possessing powers OF
healing and curing disease mat gave
II the name of 'curer. of oil Ills" or
the "all-heal." The ceremonial rites
connected with the worship of the mis-
tletoc were performed on scale OF
great magniticance, In the sacred
month of December, during the feast
tbot ushered in the New Year. The
time for the beginning of these rites
was announced by the priests, who
went about shouting outside the
houses. New all-hcal. new all-heal"
or "The New Year is at hand, gather
the mistletoc." The cry was followed
by the congregatlng Of the people IN
great crowds, to follow the priests In
solemn procession, as all went into the
woods to search for The sacred plant.
Two white bulls were taken for sacrl-
fetal purposes, while the three most
ancient pontlffs carried respectively
bowl of bread, wine and water, ana
hand of ivory attached to a wand, this
representing power and justice. 1t
must have been an imposing process
sion. with the ancient pontiffs In full
ceremonial costume leading the way,
followed by the bards and priests OF
various ranks, each in the costume OF
his order. and following these the peo-
plc all eager to find the mystic plant
that was a panacea against all Ills and
the true source of happiness to all WHO
could possess it.

Story of the French Knight.


The French myth Of the Christmas
tree is the most complete and will be
the most interesting to children who
may wonder why the Christmas tree
is among them, and if the gifts which
it bears are its only reason for exist
ence. On one cold Christmas night
early in the thirteenth century ga
French knight was journeying to MS
chateau. Suddenly in front Of him
he saw the vision Of fir tree aglow
with lights. He looked closer, and saw
they were candles, some burning right
side up and some hanging downward.
On top of the tree was curly headed
child. with a halo about its head. The
vision greatly troubled the knight, and
he referred it to the Pope for an ex-
plunation. He was told that the mr.
tree represented humanity, that the
.llild was Christ watching over all.
and that the lights represented men.
Those which burned right side up were
those whose deeds were good, and
those which were upside down repre-
scnted men whose deeds were bad
rhis is the story which is told to the
title French children Of Springfield,
and they try during the coming year
10 act in such manner that the can
lie which represents them on the next
Christmas tree will be upright and
ourn with a strong, true flame.
