The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1907-11-21

Subscriptions to the emergency
issue of 100000 shares of Idora
treasury stock must be in the hands
Of the secretary OF the company in
Spokane, or Treasurer John III.
Nordquist of Wallace, before Dec
ember 8. If you overlook chance
to get some of this stock you will
be sorry as it is practically certain
now that the issue will be largely
oversubscribed. The new manage
ment will soon have the mine going
again.

Our greatest regret IN having to
abandon the independent publica-
ton Of the Miner is that no paper
will be left in the Occur d 'Alenes
to voice the protests OF the plain
people against the usurpations OF
the money power. The Times may
make pretcnse Of doing so but its
owners are hand in glove with the
bankers to bunco the public. The
socialists will howl fiercely enough
through the Coates organs but
their yells will not be half as fierce
as the graft their leaders would ex-
act If they were in power.

With the shortage of currency
now prevailing we can see no
reason why the government Of the
United States should not pay for
public works such as the Panama
canal in grcenbacks instead Of
interest bearing bonds seeing that
these bonds are to be used BY the
banks as the basis Of new currency.
The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1907-11-21

From the first the Miner advo-
cate the establishment of a cham
Der of mines or some other organ
ization that would devote its
energies to advertising the Occur
d'Alenes and protecting non-resi-
dent investors. 1t is not too late to
do something along these lines yet.
In fact if it is not done we fear that
the district will experience great diff
ficulty in securing working capital
for its many mdeveloped proper
ties in the next II months.

We commend Engineer Henry M.
Lancaster's interview, published in
this issue, on the subject Of reduc-
ing mine development costs by the
use of small comprcssors, to the
managers Of all such properties as
have long tunnels or other consid-
cradle work to do, and more espcc-
tally to those whose properties are
50 situated as to permit of the cheap
development of even small water
power.

Time brings its own revenges.
Here we have President Roosevelt $
administration, during times Of
unexampled prosperity with a
tremendous surplus in the treasury,
doing the same thing that President
Cleveland was so roundly denounced
for doing during times Of unpar-
allelled depression with a deficit in
the national treasury and a de-
pleted and diminishing gold reserve.

A Handsome Home.

Mr.. o. S. Eaton and family are now
in full possession of their new home on
Middle street, having moved in last
week. The surrounding grounds have
been made most attractive, as is gen
orally acknowledged. IL is a great trans
formation. In regard to architectural
style it is decidedly "Composite". The
roof is Dutch, the windows Queen Anne,
the veranda columns Ionic with Cor
inthian capitols. Inside we find large
hall connected with parlor l4xlS feet.
The finish of the opening between hall
and parlor is quite as unique for our
village as the exterior of the building.
There is large fireplace made for use,
and heat with hot air. 1t is Mr.. Eaton's
belief that hot air and an open fire.
place furnish the best ventilation for
our long, cold winters, and therefore a
safeguard against disease. Inside cas-
ings are chiefly birch, finished in the
natural wood. Mr.. Eaton suggests that
his pastering is good, because he did
not use the sand from the bank as most
people here do, but procured it from the
lake shore. He also makes another sug-
gestion to intending house builders,
which we think pertinent, namely, that
it costs but few extra dollars to have
an attractive, and convenient home, and
the additional expense will not be re-
GREETED. The plans were made by Mr..
Eaton with the aid of his good wife,
and the result is handsome, commo-
dious and convenient home, the com.
forts OF which We hope the family may
be long spared to enjoy.

Remember King at the opera house

the wittiest, most aromatic. most burn
ing we have heard. The new education,
the new science, the new woman, the
new theology, in fact all the news" are
grouped under the caption This New
Age" The lecturer captures his au-
dience from the start. lie sparkleS,
blazes, denounces, binds up satire with
ridicule, and when you succumb to
some bright thought hits you when you
are down. You like it though and the
time flies as you wish it wouldn't, aud

A word as TO the sutiiciency of our
water service. After four streams had
been poured into the building three or
four hours the decrease in the overflow
at the reservoir was hardly pereeptible.
This information is from parties who
went 10 the reservoir late that night to
note the effect Within one hundred
and fifty feet were two hydrants unused,
and If necessary four more streams
under full head could have been drawn
without affecting the pressure of those
in service. With this service the town
is now in good condition to combat with
fire and Saturday nights blaze amply
demonstrated this. 1t certainly gives
as better feeling of protection. 1t is
something We have long advocated. We
have fifty.three hydrauts in the village
limits, and We doubt if there is another
village in New England, the size of
Island Pond, that has better equipped
water system for fire and domestic pur-
poses-and the best and purest water
that ever run over rocks. In word the
system paid for itself Saturday night.
Looking east at the opera house block
and vast at the Bosworth block, it was
a short distance in which $4,000 were
in sight, aud the latter block must have
gone, with the wind prevailing, if the
water supply had been short, fully recog-
uizing the gallant fight made by the
tiremen and volunteers.

Remarkable Savings Bank
Record.

The Burlington Daily News pays its
compliments to the Hyde Park Savings
Bank in the following enthusiastic lam
guage:
Congratulations to ex-Gov. Carroll S.
Page and his Lamoille County Savings
Bank and Trust Company.
The company with the long name has
passed the million dollar mark-a ,e-
markable record, considering its environ
ment and the character of its clientele.
Another remarkable thing is that every
cent. of this million dollars is invested
in Vermont "to foster Vermont indus
tries and develop Vermont's enterprises"
1t is stated that the bank does not own
dollar of doubtful paper and that it
never had dollars worth of real estate
except the bank building, which was
charged to profit and loss some years
ago.
This Bank pays 40 compounded
semiannually on deposits of 500 or
more, remaining in the bank one full
year.
