YUr1A HOTELS.

We are pleased to see so many of our citizens taking pride in their homes. The word home, next to that of mother, is the greatest ever uttered by human tongue. What d refuge home is when the darkness gathers! How glad one is to get a glimpse of home when time and space have separated him from it if even but for brief period.
 There seems to be good natured rivalry here in an effort to make "our home" look little heater and thus be the more in viting than all others. Such ri- yalry is certainly pardonable.

When you want good job of printing done just take your copy to a printer and tell him to do you good job, and he will. If you think you know more about the business than he does and you select your paper and instruct him what type to use and all the little details, you will usually get a botch job. A printer working under instruc- tions from one who knows noth- ing about the business, no mat ter if he is an expert, cannot get out neat job.

Cons piracy Against the President

$OIlS p1I dCy hSGikSt lhC TICSIOCht
 Skepticism is expressed in
 some quarters over the reality of the story about a financial conspiracy for checkmating the president. Of course there is a
 possibility that the story may have been overdrawn or that the conspiracy was further develop
 ed in wish than in actual fulfill
 ment. But those who are loud
 est in decrying the story are not those upon whose absolute good
 faith and loyalty the president places the most dependence just now. And there is little doubt among the real friends of the administration that the president has taken the best, as he has cer- tainly taken the most direct method of meeting the move against him. One of his strong est weapons has always been publicity. It has not been the habit of presidents to take the public into their confidence. But 1t has certainly proved, m the ease of Mir. Roosevelt, that his readlest and surest defense against any attempt at ''infiu- ence" has been to give the whole story away and let those who have tried to approach him take care of themselves as best they might. In the present case, how ever embryonic the combination against him may have been, the people have had due warning ot it's existence. and they will be the more careful in scanning ev- cry move made in the presiden. tial campaign from this time on. If there are any interests that want to beat the president aud his policies, they will have tc come out and do it in the open.

INFRINGEMENT IN
 RECLAMATION WORK.

The secretary of the interior has issued the following general instructions to the director of the reclamation service:
 l. Concentrate on and give preference to the works upon which construction is nearly completed and where the pro. jects will soon be producing rev enue.
 ?. Discontinue further eXpen- ditures for general investiga- tions.
 3. Arrange wherever practic- able for the reduction or suspen- sion of work on projects which are so located that favorable bids for construction have not been secured.
 f. Recommend for restora- tion to entry all lands now re- served under the terms of the reclamation act, the reclamation of which cannot be undertaken in the near future; withholding, however, all reservoir sites or lands that may be required for rights of way for future works whose practicability has been determined.
 In explanation of these in structions the secretary said:
 ''The notably increased cost of materials and construction, the uncertainties encountered in transportation and the scarcity and high price of labor are deter ring contractors from bidding for the government work.
 Conditions have altered so materially since the first esti- mates of cost of construction were rade and the allotmentS of the fund approved that 1 have deemed it advisable to direct that a reduction of the work in some instances and a suspension in others be considered. It would be most unwise to continue work where circumstances are so dlS- advantageous or to incur eXpen- ses which in the future may be considered as unduly large.
 By concentrating on those works now nearing completion new revenues will be coming in- to the fund and when the labor conditions and transportation fla cilities become normal the work on otifer pro5 .cts can go forward more economically and with greater rapidity. The expendi- lures during the last quarter have averaged about S1, 800, GOO a month. At this rate the funds available for new construction will be exhausted before the end of the calendar year"

also is served here and sandwiches and

VALUABLE PRODUCTS,
MADE FROM COAL TAR

So many valuable products are made
from coal tar, the refuse left in the pro-
cess or making coal gas, that II would
take several pages to describe them.
Among them are the various brilliant coll
ors used In dyeing: ammonia. carbolic
acid and salicyclic acid, and In addition
10 these many other important medical
remedies. There is antipyrine, which is
very effective In fevers, and much cheap
er than quinine: thallium, a sure remedy
for yellow fever; phenacetine, which is
used for headachts. colds. neuralgia and
whooping cough. Then there Is sulphonal,
which will induce a dreamless sleep which
will last for seven or eight hours, and
from which one awakens refreshed and
strengthened, and without any of the bad
effects produced by other opiates.
Then there are many delicate perfumes
produced from coal tar; n substance many
times sweeter than sugar and an explo-
sive that is fearfully destructive. In all,
some sixty different substances have al
ready been discovered In coal tar and al
mast every year one or more new ones
are added to the list.
About 40 900 men are at present employ
ed In extracting valuable products from
this refuse OF the gas retort. The coal
tar products OF Germany alone sell for
$50, 600 year.
