A killing occurred at the pool
hall this evening One Dave
Myers, laboring man who was
intoxicated, came in and began
shaking dice with the boys. A
little later ne wished to borrow
some money from them but they
declined to accommodate HIM.
Seeing a chance he lodged be-
hind the counter and picked up
revolver of heavy pattern and
attempted to enforce his request
for a loan. AS he was drunk the
boys telt that it was dangerous
for him to have the gun and one
named T. b. Reynolds attempted
to take it from him. In the scuffie
the piece was discharged and the
ball struck Myers in the groin
producing death in a short time.
Reynolds at once gave himself
up to the marshall, but as there
was no intent to hurt his victim
and he was acting solely for the
salty of those present including
the man who was killed there is
likely to be release on prelimi-
nary examination. The dead
man has relatives here and all
sympathize with them in their
grief. Myers was not quarrel
some man except when drinking,
and indeed the whole affair was
void OF any bad feeling. Ii is the
first violent death to occur here
for a long time.

K00TtNAl COUNTY CASE
DECIDED AGAINST GOVERNOR

The supreme court has just
handed down his written opinion
in the action brought by c. L.
Hoffman in the interests of himself
and other electors of Kootenai coun-
ty to test the constitutionality of
the apportionment act approved
March 7, 1905. The act of appor-
tionment is held valid and consti-
tutional, except wherein it awarded
two senators to Lewis and Clark
counties. An oral opinion was
given in this case some time ago.
The written opinion by Justice
Sullivan and Associate Justice
Ailshie and Chief Justice Stock
Slayer concur.
The first paragraph of the sylla-
bus by the court covers the salient
features of the case. 1t is as fol-
lows:
"The legislature undertook to
create the two counties of Lewis
and Clark out of Kootenai county,
liiCluuiilS III Sdld Lewis dilu Sldl n
counties the entire area included in
Kootenai county and thereafter
passed an apportionment bill which
was approved on the 9TH day of
March, 1905, whereby the said
counties of Lewis and Clark were
each given one senator and two
representatives, and each of the
other counties of the state one sem
ator and from one to five represen-
! tatives. Thereafter the said act
creating Lewis and Clark counties
was held unconstitutional and
void. Held, that as the legisla-
tive intent was to give to each
county one senator and representa-
tives according to the number OF
votes cast at the last preceding cleo
ton, Kootenai county was entitled
to one senator and four representa-
tives.'
The closing paragraph of the
opinion reads as follows:
1.-THE court concludes that sale
apportionment act is valid anc
Kootenai county is entitled to one
senator and four representatives,
and no more, and that the cleo.
ton proclamation of the governor
should carry out said apporticn.
nent act as herein construed, anc
it is so held. No costs awarded il

the heavy movement OF currency TO
the west reaches its height it is
difficult to see how the speculative
element can find resources for such
bull movements as have character
lied recent dealings in Wall street.
In the far west, the speculative
money market is not so important,
although it has its bearings on the
tlotation of mining stocks and par
ticularly of new ventures. But
when copper production is so ac-
tive and prices SO good, when new
mines are coming in and adding to
the volume of wealth, the inevi-
table result is the release of actual
money in such amounts as to pro-
vide a heavy surplus for invest
ment and new development. Cop
per and lead and silver, to say moth
ing of the flood of gold from new
mines, afford the most substantial
basis imaginable for operations on
large scale; and the west is rapid
1y becoming independent of specu-
lative assistance in its application
of the tremendous mineral resour-
ces of the west.
Unless all the rules Of economies
are to be upset, this fall will see
the best season the mines have ever
known, both for the volume of
metals produced and the prices to
be paid for the output. Salt Lake,
particularly, is in way to benefit
because the Ely region will be open
TO railroad communication, the rich
Bullfrog country will have its Clark
road finished to Rhyoilte and Beat
ty, and the newer mines along the
main line of the San Pedro will be
in the market with their products
and prospects. Speculation or no
speculation, it is going to be a
great year for Salt Lake. Salt

BANK RESERVE AT BED ROCK,
SPECULATION RAMP ANT

The financial situation in New
York, so far as it affects speculation
presents an anomaly without paral-
lei in the history of the country.
Although the bank reserves are
down to bed rock, and although
there is little probability of gold
imports from abroad, because for
eign banks are carrying light re-
serves, the stock market has been
very strong and there is apparently
no indication of any unusual weak
ness for some time to come. The
rate on call money, which is a gov
erning factor in speculative deal
ings, was per cent on Tuesday,
and the failure CT the Real Es-
tate Trust company, of Philadel-
phia, was a depressing influence. In
spite of these conditions, the spec
ulative stocks are high and well
supported, probably because the
corn and wheat crops will be the
largest the country has ever seen in
the aggregate, and the prices on
these staples guarantee prosperous
times for the farmers. While this
promises good earnings for the rail-
roads which will move the crops,
it also foretells a tremendous de-
mand in the west for money with
which to move the crops. Wher

osna.ursd Alcohol Freed from Taxation.


On May "a the Senate passed by a
unanimous vote the bill which pro-
vides for the freeing from taxation
after January 1, 1907, of denatured
alcohol used for industrial purposes.
The bill had previously bean passed
oy the House, where it was opposed
chiefly by the manufacturers of wood
alcohol. This substance is to be
used as an adulterant, however, to
make the alcohol unfit for drinking.
According to the provisions of the
new law, the adulterating Or dena-
turizing of the alcohol is to be done
in the various factories under the
supervision of an internal revenue
officer.
BY removing the tax from indus
trial alcohol our government has
effectually put stop to the domi-
nation Of the oil trust over the use
of liquid fuel for light, heat and
power. In Germany and France de-
vices for using denatured alcohol for
these purposes have already been
perfected and placed in actual use,
and their adoption in this country
will no doubt come quickly as soon
as industrial alcohol is on the market.
AS this fuel can be produced from
many vegetable p,oducts that have
heretofore gone to waste. and that,
too, at considerably lower price
than is obtained for gasoline and
kerosene day, there need never be
any fear of lack of fuel, even should
the coal measures all become ex-
hausted and the supply of natural
oil cease.
The new fuel, besides being cleaner
and less volatile, will, when used in
suitably designed internal, combus-
tion motors, develop about as much
power per gallon as will the old,
while for light and heat it is far su-
perior. Its introduction will create
new market for the farmers of our
country, while they will benefit di-
rectly from it also by using it them
selves for the production of light
and power.-Scientific American.

Horror. oi tho msa. Packing Houses.

The scandal of the Chicago meat
packing houses has been brought to
the fore again, this time with more
tremendous force and effect even
than was the outcome uf the EN-
balmed beef sensation at The close of
the Spanish. American war. Upton
Sinclair, the author Of a recently
published novel called "The Jungle,"
is the starter of the ball this time.
Sinclair tells of the horrors of the
packing houses in a way to make the
hair stand OH end and TO make stom-
ach sick. The appearance of the
poyel was an eye.opener to an extent
seldom realized, and as the result of
it Presiden. Roosevelt not long ago
appointed commission consisting of
Prof. Charles p. Neill, commissioner
of labor, and James b. Reynolds, of
New York, to investigate the matter
thoroughly. The commission has
completed its report and the same
has been made public. Sinclair has
given number of authentic letters
from former packing house employ
ees dealing with the situation. These
letters set forth the manner in which
the government inspection laws are
farce. The laws only provide for
the inspection of meats intended for
export. and all staff that is unfit for
export is sold for home consumption.
The letters tell how If carcass
shows signs OF disease, turberculous
sores, bruises, etc., these are merely
trimmed off and the balance is used I.
They tell how cattle that died of
disease or of smothering or by acci-
dent, are used for beef the same as
others. 1t is asserted that all kinds
of diseased and unfit catile are used
for canning purposes, and hams that
are full of maggots are treated with
chemicals 80 as to destroy the often
sive smell and are sold for good hams.
Instances have been known where
workmen have fallen into the boiling
watts and such parts of their bodies
as could not be recovered were al
lowed to 60 into cans. Sometimes
workmen lose their fingers, hands
and arms in The sausage machinery
and these parts are allowed 70 90 on
all the same into the cans. 1t is said
that workmen prefer to spit on the
heaps of meat rather than on the

New e. =. Q. 0rdsr.

The Post Office Department has
issued circular stating that on and
after July 1, 1906, patrons of the
rural free delivery service will be re-
quired to display signals on their
boxes when they leave mail in them
for carriers to collect, as, after that
date, carriers, when serving their
routes, will not be required to open
and examine any mail boxes than
those on which signals are displayed
to indicate that there is mail to col
lect.
The requirements are that all rural
boxes shall be provided with proper
signals attached to the boxes, which
when displayed shall show the pass
ing carriers that there is mail to he
collected. 1t. is not necessary, that
this device shall be complicated or
costly, for a very simple arrange
ment will answer the purpose.
Rural route carriers have been in
structed not to lower the signals on
the boxes after making collections,
provided there is no mc;, left thel Elm,
but must display the signals when
they leave mail for patrons, ruless
the patrons have made a request to
the contrary.
Carriers have been instructed to
promptly inform patrons of their
routes with regard to this order.
