Keen Competition Among Colorado
Smelters.

Colorado Is in a position to have the
ores from her mines treated in smelt.
ers that are under a variety of differ.
cnt arrangements. There are eigh,
shelters, all told, in operation in the
state, and three of these are i%ndepend.
ont OF all the others, and five are UNI
der the management OF the American
Smelling and Refining Company.
There is an independent smelter at Sa.
Ida, one in Denver, and II in silver
ton, all running in GOOD shape, which
permits the miner TO sell his ore wher-
ver he wishes.
4 great deal Of harm has been done
in the East by the statement that PEG.
pie investing in mines in Colorado
were under the restraint Of being com.
PEELED to have their ores treated In
smelters that were all under n man
agement. AS n matter Of fact, there Is
plenty OF competition and that keeps
down the cost of smelling, and gives
the man with money invested in mines
every opportunity TO thrive.
The American Smelling and Refln.
ing Company has twenty-five plants
scattered about in the United States
and Old Mexico, but claims II Is
not making any great profits of OF It's
Colorado investments. because the
competition here with the independent
plants is so brisk, besides the ores
of Colorado are proverbially low grade,
and the working charge at the smelt-
ers Is necessarily made on Il minimum
basis.
The American Smelling and Rein.
ing Company, which Is in part con.
trolled by the Guggenheims, is about
TO spend a million dollars in the state
to put in a new system Of mechanical
roasters, and has ample confidence in
the future Of Colorado. The company
has idle plants in Denver, Pueblo and
Leadville, which were constructed at a
large expense, and which will be
called into requisition as the mining
interests in the state grow and metals
advance. Just o they are a ire,
mendous charge upon the companies
that built them, and the fact that they
are kept ready to operate on short no,
tice shows how fully their builders
are confident in the future Of this great
mining state.

GOOD METHOD FOR SKIRTS.
Simple and Effective Way Of krrsnc.

There Is a simple way to 50 C IN

skirts for young people from tets TO
half grown girls. 1t Is better than
letting out tucks in the usual way
when the plain spaces usually coma in
the wrong place.
With this plan, which may be Used
whether there are or are not o.lcr
tucks, the tuck is laid directly C;e"

which, after being pressed. have the
appearance of one.
AS in all things, there ia a siMp'e
and easy way TO accomplish it. tis
way in this ease being to turn ths

The Same Old Rations.

Subsistence supplies Of a kind simi.
lar TO those now used by the army in
the Philippines and Porto Rico will be
used by the army In Cuba in the event
OF intervention by the United States.
The troops will be given in rations
what they have been accustomed to
and not what anyone might suggest
they ought to have for service in tropi.
Cal countries.
Some military observers marveled at
the wonderful amount of work accom-
plished by the Japanese soldiers on a
diet OF rice and dried fish. II was sug-
gested that American soldiers when
performing services in tropical coun.
tries ought to be given a large amount
OF rice In their rations. This question
was considered by the army authori-
ties, and they decided adversely to the
rice diet. A strong, sustaining Amer.

If they go TO Cuba-just as good a ra-
ton as % is served to them at their
stations in this country. No chances
will be taken on creating discomfort
among the troops by denying TO them

NEW FANCY IN EMBROIDERY.
Biedermeier Has Many Qualities to
Recommend II.

One of the latest fanCiCs Ia M.
broidery is known as the BieG ArNeier.
This is in u way a return to the old.
style simple embroidery that was in
vogue before the idea Of many tones
of color. While different tones are
used, only one tone appears in a sin.
gle figure. The embroidery is on
linen, for table covers, scaris, pillows
aad other useful articles.
The designs are stamped, eand with
each piece comes the quantity and sc.
lection of threads and colors to use.
One OF the designs, for instance. Is
for a pillow cover. In the center is a
wreath, and below this at either side
an orange tree or similar conventional
figure. The wreath Is OF green leaves
and roses. There are roses of three
or four different shades OF pink, but
only n shade is used in Il rose. The
one shade of yellow is all that APP.
pears in the oranges.
In the center Of one wreath Is q
miniature portrait, the bonnet of one
color, the dress of another, the drapery
of a third. In the center of another
wreath is a portrait in silhouette Cir
profile and all black. 1t would he
quite easy to make this silhouette Dor.
trait that of the giver or the recipient
and thus give an added value to the
pillow.
The trend of the day is to make
~iancywork less difficult than formerly
and TO that end are many parts of en,-
Droidery that come ready to apply to
the foundation of whatever Is used.
This more simple %embroider. will be
eagerly sought, not only for tie ease
with which it may be accomplished,
but because it is particularly suitable
for a room having mission furniture.

CHEMAWA INDIAN SCHOOL IS
SECOND IN UNITED STATES

Wyoming, and from there he was pro-
NOTED to the position of supervisor Of
Indian schools. In this place he was
of invaluable service to the Indian de-
partment and his report on the vari-
Gus schools were of great assistance
in bringing these institutions up to
their high state of proficiency.
In October, 1904, he intimated to
the department that he would prefer
the superintendency at Chemawa to
the supervisorship he then held, and
the appointment was promptly made.
He is held in high esteem by both his
assistants in the work and the pupils
and all combine to render him every
aid possible in bringing the school up
to its present high standard of excel
lence.
AS an instance showing the careful
way in which things are managed it
might be stated that the total cost Of
maintaining the school, furnishing
food, clothing, medicine, tools and
everything needed to carry on the in
stitution does not exceed $167 per pu-
pill for the entire year. This natural
ly does not include the cost of build
ings that are erected. There are now
36 commodious buildings on the
ground and two new barns are being
erected at the present time.

Sketch of Toppenish by Umatilla
Traveller.

Toppenish, Dec. 2s.-(Editor East
Oregonian.) )-"These are the gardens
of the desert;
These the unshorn fields, boundless
and beautiful,
For which the speech of England has
no language"
/ Twenty-three years ago a tender
foot from the east; from land of 10
acre fields and rail fences, found him
self one summer evening on one of
the hills overlooking this valley, of
which the Indians with their herds of
cattle and horses were at that time
the sole denizens.
The boundless stretch of prairie
and valley land through which the
river and its tributary streams, firing
ed with their belts of timber wound
their ways, made their own impress
sion, here and there the growth Of
the native grass was so luxuriant that
the head and shoulders of the horse
ma. nriding after his herd were alone
visible.
Noting these things, the tenderfoot
found himself saying, what pic
ture!" The picture is still here, but
the twenty odd years which have
elapsed has changed it somewhat
Toppenish is no longer simply a
river crossing which the traveller
crossing the reservation can either
ford, or take his chances on the crazy
Indian structure which spans it.
A great railway on its way to tide
water has passed through the valley,
many miles of irrigating bitches have
been constructed, the native grasses
have to a large extent disappeared,
but in their place has come clover,
timothy, alfalfa, wheat, oats, barley,
fruit and hops. Capacious warehouses
have been built for the housing of
these different products which, with
the cattle and sheep raised here swell
the shipments from this point to 90
cars a day, when they can get the
cars. At present they average three.
Verify the world has moved and
time has wrought it's changes at Top
penish as at more pretentious places.

arrived here yesterday from Mexico
on the steamer Curacao.
The unusually heavy rains that
have been falling in Mexico are the
cause of the floods All the rivers in
the state of Sinaloa have overflowed
their banks, causing great damage and
loss of life. The floods had not abat-
ed up to the time of the departure of
the Curacao from Mexico. In de-
scribing the situation in Sinaola, Mr..
Du Fresno said:
During the latter part of Novem-
ber and in the present month Mexico
has been having an unusual rainfall.
The cloudbursts in the mountains have
swelled the streams into raging tor
rents, and have broken their bounds,
destroying much valuable property. 1
cannot estimate the loss.
"In Sinaloa 10 people have been
drowned. Some were drowned while
attempting to ford rivers, while
others met death in their homes,
which were swept away by the tor
rents. Many farm houses have been
leveled by the rushing waters. The
rivers that are causing the destruc
ton are the Fuerte, Culiacan and San
Lorenzo. Part of the railway between
Culiacan and Altata has been destroy
ed by the flood"
Joseph Hampel, who was also a
passenger on the Curacao, states that
10000 acres of land purchased by DR..
Ernest Angemann, at the mouth of
the Fuerte river, has been entirely in
undated. The land was purchased by
Angemann with the view of establish
ing a colony of Germans in Mexico.

STEUNENBERG'S LIFE.
Brief History of the Assassinated Ex-
Governor of Idaho.

Frank Steunenberg, who was killed
by bomb at Caldwell last evening
was A years old last August, having
been born at Keokuk, Iowa, on Aug
ust s, 1861, says the Idaho States
man. He lived in his native state
until he was 26 years of age, remov-
ing to Idaho and settling in Caldwell
in 1887. He acquired his education
in the common schools of Iowa, and
then went to Iowa Agricultural COL
lege at Ames to finish his education.
He served as a printer in Iowa until
his removal from that state.
He made his home in Caldwell con-
tinually after removing to this state,
entering the printing business there.
the same as he had carried on in the
east He took great interest in pub
lie affairs of his adopted state from
the very beginning, and was elected
a member of the constitutional con-
vention in 1889, assisting materially In
framing the document that has since
served as the fundamental law of the
state. He served upon several of the
important committees.
The democratic convention in Ada
county, which then embraced all of
what is now Ada and Canyon, NOM
mated Mr.. Steunenberg for represen-
tative and he was elected to that posi-
ton, serving with honor and credit to
himself and his constituency. He also
served two terms as a member of the
board of trustees for Caldwell.
In 1896 he was nominated by the
democratic party, and indorsed by
the peoples party. for the governor
ship and was elected over the repub-
lican and silver republican nominees
by a good majority. He served ac-
ceptably to the people of his own par
ty, and to the people in general. and
when his term expired in 1898, he
was reelected to the position for an
other biennium.
In his first message as governor to
the legislature Governor Steunenberg
took a firm stand against some abuses
that he insisted needed correction,
and outlined the policy of economy
that he followed throughout his two
administrations.
Governor Steunenberg became
person of national reputation during
his service as governor by his vigor
Gus handling of the troubles in the
Coeur d'Alenes. AS illustrative of his
eastern reputation, Governor Gooding
stated to the Statesman last evening
that during his recent trip to Wash
ington and the east, he found no pri
vate citizen of Idaho who was so well
and favorably known as Frank Steun-
enberg.
Governor Steunenberg is survived
by his wife and three children. These
are Julian, aged 20; Miss Frances,
aged 12, and Frank, jr aged 5. They
are all at home with their mother in
Caldwell.
There are five brothers and a sis
ter, who are living, all but one resid-
ing at Caldwell. These are A. K.
Steunenberg, the Caldwell banker;
VIII and John Steunenberg, who are
in the shoe business there. Lieutenant
George Steunenberg, U. S. A., who is
the military instructor at the Univer-
sity of Idaho; c. b. Steunenberg Of
Caldwell, and Mrs. Van Winegarden
of Caldwell.
The former governors father, B.
Steunenberg, is still living, making
his home with A. K. Steunenberg at
Caldwell.
