Tires of Daily Bread in Prayer;
Wants Fry Cakes.

Three-year-old John was told to always
go right to sleep as soon as he had said
his prayers, which mostly consisted of
the Lords prayer.
One night he called to his mamma and
asked permission to say just one little
word. His mother granting it, he said:
Mamma, / just want to change Our
Father around little bit. 1 am getting
tired of daily bread. Can't l ask for

George Has Revised Version of
Lords PRAYER.

In saying his prayers, George always
spoke in 8 low tone, but his mother. who
had taught him the Lords prayer,
thought he knew it thoroughly
One night however, his father heard
Georges prayers and not feeling salts
fled that all was as it should be, told him
to speak louder. So George began again
in Iusty tone. "Our father, who art in

THE TIME TO ADVERTISE

The present is the time when
everyone interested in the progress
and development OF the Occur
d'Alene district should plan their
advertising If they wish to see this
country secure its share Of the cap
ital that is everywhere seeking
investment. In another month
business men all over the east will
have returned to their desks from
seaside and summer resorts and
will be settling down to hard work
and close attention to their business
and the investment Of their spare
capital.
Hitherto the residents Of the
Occur d'Alenes have done little or
nothing to interest such people in
this section and surely it is time
that this policy Of laissez-faire' was
abandoned in favor Of an aggrcs-
sive campaign Of advertising to
secure the working capital our
mines and prospects stand 30 badly
in need OF. Each can do some
thing towards accomplishing this
end and the aggregate Of individual
effort should result in bringing
hundreds Of thousands OF dollars
here to expedite the development Of
the numerous meritorious proper
ties that only need capital to put
them on a paying basis.
There should, Of course, be some
organization to attend to this vital
matter so that it may be intellig-
emily and well done, but as it seems
to be impossible to arouse sufficient
interest among Wallace citizens to
secure the formation Of either q
booster club or q chamber of mines,
it devolves on the individual bust
ness men to do such advertising as
is within their means.
All Of them can do something.
On their letterheads and envelopes
they can set forth some of the
salient facts about this country's
productiveness, which would be
bound to interest a certain percent
age Of those to whose attention they
came. They can subscribe for
local papers and have them sent to
their friends. Brokers and pro-
motors, as well as all mining COM

panies in need Of working capital,
should besides this prepare pros
pectuses or pamphlets giving de-
tailed information in readable form
which they should circulate where
ever they have correspondents or
acquaintance. They should also
utilize the columns Of the leading
eastern papers and reputable maya
zines to reach investors in the mass,
and such action on their part il
almost imperative il they wish to
secure capital in view Of the way
that Golfers and the Saturday
Evening Post have Of late been
assailing the mining industry in
general in we'll meant but mis-
directed effort to suppress swindl-
ing and wild eating.
The legitimate mining industry
Of the Occur d'Alenes is bound to
suffer from this crusade If extra
effort is not put forth by the repre-
sentative men OF the district to in
form investors regarding its possib-
ilities and to convince them that
wild-catting and swindling are not
tolerated here.
The surrendering by the Green
oughs Of their option on the con-
troll OF the stock Of the Copper King
company has been hailed with sat
isfaction by the Mullan owners Of
that stock who have long been
greatly dissatisfied with the way
the property was being handled
and the stock manipulated. Prac-
tically all the Wallace stockholders
seem to feel the same way. OF
course it will take some time for
the old owners to get things shaped
around to resume work after the
management has been so long and
entirely in the Greenoughs hands,
but the Miner has no doubt that
with the confidence they all have in
the mines future they will quickly
devise and finance an adequate
scheme of development.
1t ought to be the aim Of every
resident Of the Occur d'Alenes, and
more especially all those engaged in
business Of any kind, to attract as
much idle money as possible to this
section to be utilized in Fastening
the development Of our mines and
prospects, as it would necessarily
mean an increase in the population,
more demand for labor and gen.
eral expansion of business. Each
individual can help the good cause
along in many ways that cost little.
For instance he can mail his friends
occasional copies of the local papers,
especially the Miner. If he is a
BUSINESS man he can have some
interesting facts about the district
emblazoned on his letterhcads and
envelopes. There is no telling how
much money such simple acts as
these might cause to be invested
here.
We advise our readers to hold on
to their Copper King stock. 1t is
a better property now than it was
when the Greenoughs were selling
it at 40 to so cents a share. There
is probably considerable short in
terest which will soon have to cover
with the result that the price will
go up materially if the present
holders have enough sense to sit
tight.

THEY MAKE YOU BELIEVE BE-
CAUSE THEY PROVE ALL
THEY CLAIM.

There is no room for doubt when so
many people of good standing are
anxious to tell their friends of the
great good received from the use of
Root Juice. Here in Richmond many
have been cured or greatly benefited
of rheumatism, catarrh, indigestion,
female weakness or some liver, kidney
or stomach trouble, no wonder one
friend is often heard advising another
to try Root Juice. If you bloat and
belch, if food lays heavily on the
stomach and pains, if what you eat
does not give you strength, if you
have swimming of the head, If you are
nervous and your entire system is run
down, if you are restless at night and
feel as tired in the morning as YOU
did when you went to bed, be governor
by the experience of others and go to
Luken's drug store, get a bottle of
Root Juice and take it exactly accord
ing to directions. We predict that be-
fore you have used one bottle you
will be advising your sick friends to
get some of this wonderful medicine
for Root Juice always proves all that
is claimed for it.

GOOD FROM WAR SCARE.

The United States has lately been
undergoing a small war scare on ac-
count of the Japanese trouble. Fortu-
nately, there is small chance of any
thing serious developing as the states
men of both countries are exerting
their best efforts to bring about a
peacable solution of the trouble. This
war scare, however, has served one
very good purpose. 1t has awakened
the country to the need of a strong
fleet In the Pacific ocean, Aside
from our interests in the Philippines
and Hawaiian Islands, there is an
enormous stretch of American coast
line that would be absolutely unde-
Tended If war broke out now. Our
Pacific coastline is every whit as
valuable as our Atlantic coast yet
practically no attention has been paid
to it's needs for defense. On our At
1antic coast one of the finest and
strongest fleets in the world is as
sembled. The Pacific coast, however,
is only defended by a few old pro-
tected cruisers that would be but a
small bite for the splendid navy Japan
keeps in the Pacific. Exponents of
international peace may deplore the
building of a new and large navy for
our Pacific coast. but to those who
realize that international peace is as
yet very far off, such an increase to
our navy will come as a welcome as
tween this country and Japan, or any
other country, has been rendered even
more remote.

A drug which is claimed TO ne n
cure for the opium habit has recent
ly been introduced into British North
Borneo, and although it has been us
ed but a short time, many old opium
smokers claim that they have greatly
reduced the amount of opium smoked
by them daily. A concoction is made
by boiling the leaves and mixing the
result with opium. After smoking a
dose of two tablespoonfuls of the drug
should be taken, and this lessons the
desire for further indulgence. The
drug is known to the Chinese as tong
hing chu. Mr.. l.. Wray, curator OF
the TAPPING Museum at Perak. has
identified the plant as "Combretum
sundaicum." It is woody climber,
with opposite leaves. I'm size and shape
somewhat resembling that of the pear

SUMMER RETAIL TRADE
BETTER THAN EXPECTED,
Indications Noted That the Buying
Power of the Country Is Being
Maintained at High Level.

New York, July 20-Bradstreet's to,
day says:
Weather conditions still favor seas.
enable trade and crops, and there is
no more than ordinary quiet noted in
wholesale lines as a result of midsum-
mer conditions and the reign of the
vacation season. Retail trade espec-
tally is turning out rather better than
anticipated. and clearance sales are
freely patronized, indicating that the
buying power of the country is main
tanned at high level. Recorder bust
ness, too, is of fair proportions; in fact
is rather more in evidence than are
bookings for fall, which await a clear
err view of crop outturn before finding
full expression. 1t is quite generally
the case, too. that where cancellations
of fall orders are noted they are ac-
companied by the statement that these
are no more numerous than usual at
this season in previous years. Such
conservatism as is noted, indeed, is
generally with regard to far-off deliv-
cries. One favorable developme mt,
certainly calling for notice, is the con-
tinuance of good reports as to collec-
lions, which find confirmation in the
steady gains in bank clearings noted
at most cities over a year ago, itself
a period of large gains over 1905.
