II learned the habit" he said, "from
all old NAH who has been a customer ol
mine for years.
"IIe said they were the best spring
medicine known and advised me to try
them. The old gentleman has the COM

While a reporter was interviewing
the captain of the Bisbee corps In
regard to the Christmas dinner, he
had with him a little girl for whom
he had bought a pair Of shoes. He
stated that IT was the intention Of
the army to establish regular shoe
fund at this place, as they have done
in other places. At the last pace
they were in their shoe bill alone for
the winter was 5000. Their method
of procedure will be as follows:
When the tTuant officer for the pub
lie schools finds that the parents Of
some child cannot send it to sCnUor
on account OF not having shoes TO
give it, the case will be reported to
the army, which Immediately inyesti-
gates and 1t it is found to be worthy,
purchases a good pair Of shoes for
the child and thus enables 1t 70 stay

SMALL MANUFACTURERS.

The Evening Times has consistent
ly advocated the policy of securing a
number of manufacturing concerns
for this city. 1t believes that the
future of the community largely de-
ponds upon the development of the
industrial enterprises which permit a
large population in. limited area.
Cities which depend entirely upon
agricultural resources can not hope
to reach beyond a certain fixed popu-
lation. This is not because the coun-
try is not wealthy agriculturally, but
because the population can not be
centralized in that industry. AS an
illustration, a mill that employs a
hundred men will support in good cir
cumstances that number of families.
1t would take a hundred quarters of
land to do the same thing.
The location of manufacturing
plants in this city would allow an in
crease in the population without di-
minishing the industrial wealth of the
city. In fact it would increase it.
AS has been pointed out before in
the Evening Times every man who
came to the city to labor in such an
institution would become a purchaser
of the stocks of our merchants. He
would be a consumer and not a pro-
Queer, and would therefore not enter
into competition with the farmers who
are tilling the soil. In fact, he would
create market for many of the pro-
ducts of the farms which now are
either allowed to waste on the farms
because Of no market or which are
not grown because there is no place
at which they can be sold.
If this city had a population par
TALLY engaged in industrial pursuits
they would become purchasers of
those products and thereby increase
the earning capacity of the farm lands
in the territory contributory to the
city. These things would be largely
handled through the merchants of the
city and their business would be cor
respondingly increased, as would like
wise that of the bankers and every
other inter-dependent business.
1t may be impossible for this city
because of natural disadvantages to
become a large manufacturing centre.
but it can support with profit a num-
Der of smaller institutions which in
