did you know Hocky" remarked
Mr.. David Gimbold to his partner, Mr..
Israel Hochheimer." did you know
that just previous to his death, Ros-
well P. Flower was planning a corner
In zinc?"
MOI I did not know It," replied Mr..
Hochheimer, rehectively, gazing out
Of the window of their Wall street Of
fee.
i've been thinking, Hocky," went
on Mr. Gimbold, that we might take
UP the matter where Flower laid it
down. l have notion that we might
corral the necessary funds simply by
modifying Mr.. Flowers methods. In
fact, | believe we could get the gov
eminent to help us.
Nearly all of our zinc comes from
Arkansas and Missouri. There is a
trust, but 1t is puny affair, down at
Joplin, with a paltry half-million at
stake. For a peculiar condition ex-
lists. Most of the land in the zinc
country is government land, subject
to the homestead law The govern
ment charges a fee of about $14 for
every $50 acres Of land, but every APP
plicant must live five years on the
land. before he gets his title. Now,
If we could get that government land
we would be able to control almost
! half of the zinc output of the district.
And we could force the trust to buy
us out"
Very good" said Mr.. Hochheimer,
as Gimbold paused for breath. "But
since no man can secure more than
$50 acres, and since each applicant
must swear that he intends to estab-
fish a home, and is not taking the land
for purpose Of speculation, how are
we to get around it?"
'Hocky," replied Mr.. Gimbold, wav-
ing his hand around comprehensively,
there are many poor fellows in this
city who would be glad to own land
in Arkansas or in Missouri. You
know a great many, and so do L"
Il know a great many poor fellows
too many" murmured Mr. Hoch-
heimer.
well, then, If we showed those
poor fellows how to get land free in
Arkansas and Misouri-if we paid the
government fee for them, and bought
them railway tickets to their new

dense appearing intellects became re-
ceptive to ray of light which would
serve as a guide to where the child
could be found. If the mother wants
her child she ought to have it. It's
an act of savagery and barbarity to
deprive her of it. There should be
a way of making those people who
gave it away tell where it is.
The Sheets and other cases are still
in Statu quo ante. No grand jury
no move to have competent and hon
est lawyers take hold of the prose-
cuton. The fact of the matter is
there is a conspiracy to prevent those
cases ever getting into court at all

of thing they don't deserve anything

the strife, retarding the progress Of
the state and making politics and So
cal conditions here more complicated

malodorous gang a fine opportunity
for more Misrepresentation and more

The only thing it accomplished was
to give Mr.. Roberts some personal

about to become benedicts and one
young lady gave herself away this
week Miss O'Connor of the Trib-

deserted the newspaper ranks. Wynn

Herald and Ike Russell, the man who,
according to Golfers has thought
about building shanty are all about
to take helpmeets unto themselves.
While wedding bells are ringing
the echoes of funeral knells are still,
sounding in our ears. John E. Han
sen is the latest of nearly half a doz-
Ell of the local press gang who have
crossed the great divide within the
past few months.

Root performed the operation and the

The board of county commissioners
has decided that ST. Marks and the
Latter Day Saints hospital are ex-
empt from taxation for the reason
that they are charitable institutions
and that the Holy Cross hospital is
not so exempt because it is not stated
in its articles of incorporation that
it is a charitable institution. This is
hard on the Holy Cross as in fact
and in substance it is just as much
public charity as either of the 9th
or hospitals. 1t looks like discrimi-

Tllre was case in court week
or ten days ago in which Mrs
Hummell sought the custody of
her infant child which had been taken
away from her by an orphans home
association directly after it came in
to the world and given to some part
les who adopted it. The baby was
made legally Legitimate, its mother
wants it and its grandmother wants
both it and its mother to go and live
with her and according to the evil
dence we have heard the grandmoth-
er is amply able to take care OF
them. Most people think it is
barbarous outrage that the mother is
denied the custody of her child. BY
some hocus pocus proceedings on the
part of the orphans home people it
could not be discovered by the court
where the infant was or who had the
custody of it. The attending physi-
clan testified that he didn't know
where the child was. If we had been
the court we would have been very
much inclined to send that physician
and some other people to Jail to
give them an opportunity to reflect
and think and ruminate until their

Delicious mornings and afternoons,
with a brief time between l and p.

pressive and when il gets as hot as it
does in the coolest parts of the United
States in midsummer. Do you realize
that the thermometer has never touch

Know that if il ever got as swelteriqg

Chicago, or St. Louis for days and
weeks at a stretch, that the natives,
who suffer from heat worse than the
whites. would die like sheep? There
have been a few cases of heat pros
tration due to alcoholism, but do you
know that the first bona fide case Of
sunstroke is yet to be recorded by the
board Of health? Do you know that the
nights are always deliCiously cool:
that the thermometer drops to - to
- ever night in the warmest season
and falls To So to 81 degrees and lower
for months during the cool season.

THE OKLAHOMA ELECTION.

While il was expected that Okla
homa would go democratic, probably
nowhere was it apprehended that the
election would be so much in the ma
ture of a slaughter. Ii was hoped
that the popularity of Frantz, if it
were not sufficient to secure his sue
cess against overwhelming odds.
would at least hold the democratic
majority within reasonable limits.
His opponent. Haskell. was not re-
garded as an especially strong candi-
date and in fact did not possess the
full confidence of his party. Yet it
appears that Haskell has led mis- tick
et.
So widely different Is the result
from all predictions that the cause Of
it cannot at this time be more than
surmised. 1t is barely possible that
it is an expression of resentment of
outside interference with the new
states affairs; outside advice against
the ratification of the constitution.
That is a most outrageous document
and one that will hardly pass muster
when it comes to the president, yet 1t
is doubtful if the arguments of Sec
Rotary Taft against it did not strength
en- it. Then too in the closing days of
the campaign William J. Bryan can
Vassed the state and renewed the
stamp of his approval which he had
put upon it Immediately after the ad-
jOurnment Of the convention. In that
constitution are embalmed many of
Mr.. Bryan's widest political ideas.
That prohibition carried is not sur
prising. in view of the prohibition
