there has been some delay II is the in
tention of kimball to have the lateral

5000 tons of ore each month.

USED BY THE DOCTORS.
Ninety Per Cent of the Drugs Pre-
scribed Are Patent Medicines.

Despite the opposition Of physicians,
has been neither far reaching nor
profitable, to patent" medicines, nine
ty per cent of all drugs that physi-
clans use are put up and compounded
by manufacturing econcerns,-are, in
fact, patent" medicines just as truly
as if they were advertised in the
newspapers.
The average doctor knows little or
nothing of pharmacy and is, there
fore, glad to depend on the very medi-
cines, which in public he condemns,
just as he is obliged in many cases
to depend on the diagnosis of the pa
tient himself, even while publicly de-
crying what he calls ''self-diagnosis."
How rapid has been the growth of the
professional use of patent" or PRO
prietary" medicines is shown in an
article written for the Journal of the
American Medical Association for
September 20, 1906, by A. jacob, M.
D., LII. d. He relates that $4,000 pre-
scriptions, compounded in several
drug stores were carefully examined.
From 1850 to 1870 no prescription was
found for patent" or proprietary"
medicines. In 1874 but one prescrip-
ton in 1900 called for ready-to-use
remedies. Between 1875 and 1880 the
number calling for patent" or PRO
prietary" medicines equalled two per
cent of the total. This increased to
per cent in the period between 1880
and 1890. In 1895 it was IL per cent,
in 1898 it was Is per cent, and in 1902
1903 was from 20 to % per cent.
DR.. jacob says that in a large
store he was assured that 70 per cent
of the prescriptions were for patent
or proprietary medicines, and this
probably is approximately the correct
proportion at the present time. From
this 1t would seem that if the patent
and proprietary" medicines are good
enough for physicians to prescribe in
seven cases out of ten they are good
enough for family use in cases of
necessity and where the symptoms
are well known and as easily under
stood by the people as by the doc
tors.

TWO WAYS OF LOOKING Att.
Wlfe's Sneering Comment Met with
Sharp Answer.

Gelett Burgess at the recent dinner
Of the American Booksellers associa-
ton of New York said: 81 once knew
a San Franciscan who married a girl
for her money. She was not pretty
girl. and as time passed and love
cooled. she developed a rather tart
tongue.
One day her husband bought with
his quarters allowance a 20-horse-
power automobile. He took the car
home gayly and brought his wife out
to the front door to look at it. She
gave one sneering glance. and then
said:
Its very fine, but IL 1t hadn't
been for my money, 1t wouldn't be
here
"Well. Mamie said the husband,
quickly, If it hadn't been for your
money you wouldn't be here your
self"

kIsER GETTING FROM UNDER.
One of the Men Arrested on Charge OF
Firing Depot viii Cheep.

Boulder. Colo.-George w. Teal and
George F. Fonda, both of this city.
were in Denver and had short talk
with Kiser in the Jail. Kiser said to
them that he was not responsible for
he fire at the Colorado & Southern de-
pot, because Reeves set II, and he could
not keep him from doing so.
He did not deny, however, that he
set one of the first fires, nor that he
stood by Reeves when the latter put
he waste and the straw in the box car
which caused the confiagration, nor
lid he deny that he and Reeves
sneaked off together to the brewery.
and from there watched the flames
spread without sending in an alarm.
Kiser impressed the men as attempt
ing, in a cowardly way, to evade his
share of the responsibility.
The actions of Harvey Pool may be
inquired into, as he was told by the
men that they would do something,
and after they did commit their crime
he did not tell the officers who the
men were, in fact, did not tell them
that he had been warned to remain
away because it was desired he should
not be implicated. While the officers
were on the hunt for the guilty men
he kept under cover.

BLOW FOR THE INSPECTOR.
chinaman Was Different from Any He
Had Had Dealings With.

When former Minister WI Ting
Fang left this country he was accom-
panied by an extensive retinue and at
tended to the steamer by delegation
of local Chinese merchants.
The customs fficials, who then were
also immigration inspectors, carefully
took the names and count of the local
Chinese as they went on board. This
precaution was to prevent some de-
ported or otherwise not welcome celes-
tial from effecting landing by joining
the merchants as they came ashore
after taking a ceremonious farewell
of their distinguished countryman.
Half an hour or so after WI and his
friends had gone on board one of Wu's
secretaries arrived on the dock and
was hurrying up the gangplank when
customs inspector seized him by
the arm and pulled him back on the
wharf
''Washamalla you, John, l no takee
name, you no can come back. Who
you belong?" said the inspector, smil-
ing at some giris with whom he had
been talking.
The Chinese shook loose the inspec-
tors hold on the loose sleeve of his silk
robe and with quiet dignity remarked:
This violence is unnecessary, sir,
and my name is matter of no inter
est to you. 1 am member of his ex-
cellency's suite. l go on board this
steamer to leave this country, never
again, hope, to return"
That customs inspector is still on
the force, but never since has he tried
to be funny with Chinese gentleman.

pepends on the DOGS.

Asa Goddard, of the American Auto
mobile association, was recounting in
Worcester some of his touring adven-
lures.
"One summer morning." he said,
'the approach of great flock of sheep
obliged me to pull off the narrow coun-
try road. 1 halted my car, and watch
ed with interest the passage of the
sheep, the intelligent dogs and the
shepherd.
Il had a short talk with the shep-
herd about his odd and difficult trade.
Look here said, what do you do,
driving sheep like this on a narrow
road, when you meet another flock
coming in the opposite direction?'
WE'LL said the shepherd, 'ye just
drive straight on, both of ye, and the
one that has the best dogs gets the
most Sheep"

Inventor of the Boomerano.

The boomerang is rather a puzzle.
One might think that the highest laws
of mathematics had been laid under
contribution in the perfecting of it.
The conyexity on one side. the fat
ness on the other. and the sharp. knife
like edge on the inside of the con-
vexity have the air of having been
carefully thought out
Yet the people who invented this
singular weapon cannot count higher
than five and are destitute OF all the
arts and amenities of life. Theirs is
perhaps the lowest plane of human
life
Some people have assumed that the
boomerang was the creation of an old
er and higher civilization, but for this
there is no evidence. 1t must be the
product of one age long empirical use
of throwing weapons.

SNAKE RIVER TENT CITY.
Camp Wantland Has Been Established
For Convenience of Homeseekers.

Denver.-"Camp Wantland," tent
city, requiring in its construction sew
eral carloads of canvas and tent poles,
is being established on the east bank
of the Little Snake river in Routt
county. north of Lay, Colorado, twenty
miles south of the Colorado-Wyoming
line. The camp is to accommodate set
tiers who are beginning to leave for
the valley to examine the $4,000 acres
of land, to be thrown open by the state
land board under the Carey act.
Camp Wantland will be the mobiliza-
ton point at the lower end of the val
ley. although smaller camps will be
maintained at other points between
Lay Colorado. and Baggs. Wyoming.
The canvas town will have sleeping
accommodations for 500 people, and a
dining room tent, in which $50 people
can be fed at one time.
The central camp is on the L-Seven
ranch, an old COW camp. formerly a
rendezvous for Tom Horn and his as
sociates. Historically, it is a point of
considerable interest. 1t is seventy
five miles from Wamsutter on the
main line of the Union Pacific. and the
same distance from Steamboat Springs
on the proposed line of extension of
the Moffat road.
The valley is reached from the
Union Pacific railroad by stage from
Rawlins. Wyoming. or by automobile
lines from Wamsutter, Wyoming. over
the Moffat road from Kremmling, via
the Steamboat Springs. Craig and Lay,
over the Rio Grande by stage or wagon
route from Ri"e. Colorado. via Meeker,
Craig and Lay. or from Wolcott, via
Steamboat Springs and Lay.
