BEDsTEADs FOR CATS

If American toms and Tables could
only be made to understand descrip-
ton Of the manner of living Of the cats
of Princess Victoria Of Schleswig- Hol-
stein the eyes Of the native animals
would take on a greener hue. The prin-
cess model tcattery," at Cumberland
lodge, Windsor park, is built like an or
binary dwelling house. On the upper
floor is a comfortably fitted bedroom
with several bedsteads. Here sleep
prize chinchillas and blue Persians. In
winter the beds are heated with hot
water bottles, SO that the pampered
pussies may not get chills. One cat,
however, holds himself aloof from his
pillows and dwells il, solitary state in
q house Of his own. In this abode is
a full record Of the prizes he has taken
at shows.

AIN AcoEprAB1E PRESENT

An acceptable present for most girls
who wear white waists and do not live
at home is set of irons. These come
in different shapes for fancy ironing.
Some are long and very narrow, and
some are oval. Some are made with
electric attachments, and others are
heated by being placed over gas or
regular range. The finer waists are
easily laundered in one s room, and will
escape the tears and strain that are
given them when sent out. The same
is true of laces.

Sugar Trust Fails TO Meet |0-Cent Cul
From the San Francisco Examiner of Aug. IL

A peculiar situation in the sugar
market of the country lies in the fact
that the Sugar Trust Of the Coast has
been underbid 10 cents the hundred
weight on refined sugar and apparently
is not making any effort to meet the
cut.
A man who is in touch with market
conditions said yesterday:
"Three days ago the California and
Hawaiian Refining Company dropped
the price of refined sugar 10 cents per
hundred-weight under the quotation Of
its competitor. the Western Sugar Re-
fning Company. and at the same time
took steps to protect stocks in hands of
Jobbers against the decline.
SIN the New York market during the
day refined sugar brought $4.75 per 100
pounds; In San Francisco the figure
obtained is more than one-half cent a
pound less.
shipments Of sugar can now be
made to Missouri river points at net
gain Of three-eighths of cent pound

this the Union Sugar Company and the

NEVADA NATIONAL BANKS
Another Effort Being Made to
Make Them Pay Taxes
in This State

A Reno, Nevada, dispatch to
the Sacramento Bee says:
Another suit has been fled by
the State of Nevada, inv Washoe
County, to compel the Farmers
and Merchants National Bank to
pay taxes. A year ago a similar
suit was filed but was never
pressed by the District Attorney
on account of the irregularity of
the complaint.
Good attorneys say the State
cannot compel the National
Banks to pay taxes in Nevada
unless law specifically covering
their case is passed. The banks
have steadfastly refused to pay
with the result that the county
treasures are deprived of many
thousands of dollars. The taxes
on the National Bank in Reno, il
paid, would amount to $1,000 a
year.
The last Legislature passed a
special Act, based on that of the
State of Massachusetts, which
would have compelled the pay
ment of taxes by National Banks,
but Governor Sparks vetoed it.

Discing Alfalfa Fields

The Deseret Farmer states that 1t is a
good plan to disc an alfalfa field
thoroughly after the first crop of hay is
cut and follow the disc with the smooth
ing harrow. A field of alfalfa which
was thoroughly disced early in the
Spring has this year yielded % per cent
more hay without irrigation than field
alongside which was irrigated three
times. Excessive irrigation carries much
valuable food plant out Of the reach OF
the crops and for this reason the Deseret
Farmer advises farmers to cultivate
more and irrigate less.

LABOR UNIONS LACK HARMONY
Industrial Workers Boycott of
Certain Newspapers Opposed

The Sacramento Bees Goldfield COR

unusual aspect Of strong Labor Unions

ganized in the two camps, recruiting
most Of its members from the unor-
ganized trades aud callings, such as
restaurant aud hotel employees. messen-
ger boys. newsboys. teamsters, com.
mon labor rs aud the like. In both
camps it was strongly organized. and
then came demand for an eight-hour
day and better wages.
In many instances the demands OF
the Industrial Workers were met
with speedy compliance, but both at
Gold6eld and at Tonopah strikes are
on in several stores and in two Of the
newspaper offices. The Goldfield Sun
Is under boycott and SO is the Sun at
Tonopah. which has caused the Typo

nounce the methods of the Industrial

provoked.
