COMPLIMENTARY

H. E. Freudenthal, who was
in charge of the Mineral Exhibit
at the st. Louis Worlds Fair and
his wife, who was Hostess of
the Nevada State Building re-
ceived Sunday from the Exposi-
tion officials each a bronze medal.
In the composition of the OBJ
verse of the medal are shown
two figures, one of which, Col
umbia, tall and stately, is about
to yenvelop the youthful maiden
by her side, typifying the Louis
lana Territory, in the flag of the
stars and stripes, thus receiving
her into the sisterhood of States.
The other figure is depicted in
the act of divesting herself of
the cloak of France, symbelized
in the emblem Napoleon, the
busy bee, embroidered thereon.
In the background is shown the
rising sun, the dawn of a new
era to the nation.
The reverse of the medal shows
an architectural tablet bearing
an inscription giving the grade
of the medal. Below the tablet
are two dolphins symbolizing our
eastern and western boundaries,
the whole surmounted by an
American Eagle. spreading its
wings from ocean to ocean.
The medal was designed by
Adolph A. Weinman. The de-
sign was approved by a COM
mittee composed of j. @. A.
Ward, Daniel C. French and
Augustus st. Gaudens.
The dies were engraved and
the medals struck by the United
States Government Mint at Phil
adelphia. The alloy for the
medals was made especially for
the Exposition after samples
were submitted and passed upon
by expert medalists.

F. w. Burke, a former resident
of Reno, who three years ago
obtained $3.50 from Governor
Sparks, was arrested at Poca-
tello. Idaho, last Tuesday, and is
now on the way to Reno to an
swer the charge. Governor
Sparks alleges that Burke in Feb
ruary, 1903. asked him to sign a
note payable to the Investment
and Loan Company of Denver
for So, 100. This money, Burke
claimed, was to be used in pur-
chasing cattle and the cattle
were to be given to Governor
Sparks as security for the pay
ment of the note. Instead of
buying the cattle Burke pock-
eted the money and left Reno.
From that time until shortly be-
fore the warrant was issued,
Burk was not heard from.

Speaking of what a news pa-
per does for a community United
States Senator David Davis, of
Illinois, made an address that
remains ever green in the men,
cries of news paper men. He
said;
Every year every local paper
gives from 500 to 5000 free lines
for the benefit Of the community
in which it is located. No other
agency can or will do this. The
editor in proportion to his means
does more for his own town
than any other man. He ought
to be supported not because you
happen to like him or admire his
writing, but because local pa
per is the best investment a
community can make. 1t may
not be crowded with great
thought, but financially it is of
more benefit than both preacher
and teacher. Today editors do
more for less pay than any men
on earth. Patronize your home
paper, not as a charity, but as an
investment. "--Newspaperdom.

sMELTERs AFTER ORE.

Down in the neighborhood of
old Phoebe, there is an endless
tonnage of low-grade fluxing
ores, it is said. and some of the
engineers of the American
Smelling and Refining company
have preceded the new railroad
that is to be built in a short time
and taken options on a few of
the big properties in that local.
ity. There is no secret about
the large smelling plants being
in the market for fiuxing propo-
sitions, and the greater number
of independent refners that are
placed in commission down the
valley, the stronger the competi-
ton for the low-grade properties
in the nearby mining camps.
Another feature to this an
'nouncement is the fact that the
A. S. & R. company have given
it out, through its field engineer,
that it is the policy of the COM
pany to employ a large force of
men to mine the low grade ores
and upon the completion of the
railroad that old camp will be
the scene of great activity in the
industry. In addition to
the immense low-grade PROPOSE
tions, there are some valuable |
in that section, such as
is found within the territory be- |
ing extensively operated by the
Nevada Utah company. At this !
property a large force of men |
have been employed in cleaning
up the old workings of the mine, |
and as soon as all the debris has
been removed, the management
will place several shifts of men
to work on developing the prop
erty on an extensive scale. Tel

Astoria Chamber of Commerce Holds
Important Session Last Night.

There was good attendance at the
regular meeting of the Astoria Chamber
of Commerce at the Bond.street head
quarters, last night. President Morse
presided. and Secretary Higgins was in
charge of the records.
There was a multitude of communi-
cations up for consideration. and each
aud all were duly submitted and placed
on file for larger treatment at a later
date.
The important question of the hour
seemed to be the Swallowing conditions
reported from the Columbia River bar,
and the matter was dealt with in a
broad and reasonable manner by all
present. 1t eventuated in successful
motion, offered by J. ". Welch, declar.
ing in favor of the earliest possible use
of the federal dredger, the Chinook, on
the bar, and urging the Portland Cham.

pediting the work. No time will be lost
in making the necessary overtures for

possibilities an appropriation will be
asked at the hands OF Congress to en-.
able the department to hurry the big
digger to the front.
The matter OF the Astoria seawall
was brought up and was widely dis.
cussed, but no action was taken pending
the disposal of the big question by the
committee of citizens now in charge
of it.
