USE SEATTLE SUNDAY CLOSING
AS AN OBJECT LESSON
Liouor Dealers Will Attempt to Sc.
cure Repeal of Sunday Closing
Law-Attack Mayor

SEATTLE, Feb. 20.-Important
action was taken by the State Liquor
Dealers Association last night as a
result of the Sunday closing order
of the mayor.
Acting upon instructions, Walter
Fuller, attorney for the organization,
prepared and sent to Olympia for
presentation to- the legislature a bill
amending the present closing law in
stead OF repeating it entirely. The
new BILL which its hackers expect to
pass, provides that saloons, theaters
and all places of business shall re-
main closed on Sunday until noon, re-
naming open the balance of the day
In order to show what they believe
to be the defects of the present law,
which provides that all business
houses except drug stores, undertake
ing houses, hotels and livery stables
must remain closed all day, the sa-
loon men have decided that if Mayor
Moore does not take up the evidence
secured against all these places by
tonight the sheriff or prosecuting
attorney will be asked to prosecute
While this is being done a COM
plant will be drafted and placed in
the hands of, some judge of the su-
perior court accusing Mayor Moore
of malfeasance in Office and willful
violation of duty in declining to en-
force the entire Sunday closing law
The court will be asked to declare
his Office vacant

Can't Get Their Money Back.

OLYMPIA, Feb. 20.-Under a de-
cision by the supreme court brewing
companies cannot recover checks de-
posted with county treasurers for Ii
censes of prospective patrons if the
county commissioners refuse to grant
the license. The court specifically
condemns the practice of the brew
cries. The case at bar was that of
the Heinrich Brewing company of
Seattle against the County of Kitsap
and G. w. Clausen, treasurer of Kit
sap county.

AN EXPERT REVIEW.
By Capt. James T. Smith.

In 1906 the spelter output from Colo
rado mines was valued at $o,is5,
| 900. on the basis Of ii.32l tons
at $l2i per ton This was at
! an average price of $3.50 a hun
| dred weight. ST Louis. whereas. the
average price paid for the fye months
ending May 81. 1907. in the same mar
ket reads s657 a hundred weight, or
sl3l 40 a ton, a gain of $7-i0 a ton over
last years average. Provided the av-
eTaee shows no increase this year
which is not al all probable-the gain
in price alone means 1891, $3.50. Spell
ter production in 1905 reached $3.50
tons at Sll5 a ton. or 81, iG3 .g1I.
In 1906 the counties which stood in
the five figure class for spelrer produc-
tion were Chaffee. Clear Creek, Do

was the leader. Its spelter output be
ing valued at si,5il75s. The other
counties named suggest the wide field
occupied by this metal. In none of
them. however. were the concentration
plants quite so successful as in Lake
county, where a twelve per cent. pro-
ducticn was handled to advantage
compared with a forty per cent pro
duct in 1899 and 1900.
II Is now announced that the plant o.
the United States Zinc Company at
Pueblo which is a branch or feeder TO
the American Smelling and Refining
Company. is installing an additional
furnace of 2i0 retorts, which adds
ihirty-three per cent. to the average
daily capacity Last year this plant
erected large concentrator, SO that
zinc-bearing ores which carry that
metal in combination with lead or iron
could be freed from the lead and iron
and then smelted as a zinc ore proper
In treating Colorado zinc ores the main
problem is to free them from the iron.
copper and lead sulphides. As fuel is
costly, only the hish-grade zinc ofes
are smelted. The separation from the
lead is not difficult or expensive. as
shown by the work Of modern plants
In the I-eadville. Creede and Siverton
districts. In getting out the iron and
copper a light roast is sometimes
used, followed by magnetic separators
such as the Wetherell patent, manufac-
tured in this city.
With the increased number OF mills
the supply Of zinc concentrates stead
ily gains. and as lead is much desired
at the smelters the working of the lead
producing properties is certain to en-
large the supply OF zinc concentrates,
so that both supply and price will work
in favor Of an exceptional gain in zinc
values for the present year The ex-
perimental plant at Rico. introducing
the Australian method, has a generous
supply Of raw material ready at hand

THE REoRGANiZEp NEW YORK
LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY.

The new Board OF Trustees of the
New York Life Insurance Company,
chosen by the policyholders under the
Armstrong laws, has taken charge of
the company's affairs and has begun
the work OF reorganization.
In choosing the principal officers CO
the company, the Board has adhered
to the idea that a life insurance COM
pany should be managed by life in
surance men. The new president is
Darwin p. Kingsley. a college bred
man of good New England stock, who
has been in the companys service in a
variety of capacities for a period OF
nearly twenty years. In the parlance
Of life insurance, he began with the
rate book" and has advanced step by
step up to his present position.
The first vice president OF the COM
pany is Thomas A. Buckner, who has
served the company for more than a
quarter of century,-indeed has
never had any other business connec-
ton.
Associated with these men are
others long trained in the companys
service, each an expert in his own de-
partment Of work. VIM. E. Ingersoll,
who has for many years had charge
Of the company's great business in
Europe, is one of the second vice pres
ldents, and will continue at the head
Of the company's office in Paris.
Rufus W. Weeks. who has been in
the company's service for nearly forty
years, ranks next to Mr. Buckner as
vice president, and continuous as chief
actuary of the company.
The policyholders have expressed
their belief in this company in no un-
eertain terms. The upheaval in life in
surance within the last two years has
resulted in a great deal of misunder-
standing and policyholders. alarmed on
matters which were not very clear to
them, have been disposed to give up
their contracts at heavy sacrifice.
This has not been true in the New York
Life to any great extent. The COM
pany had $4,000. 100000 insurance on
its books when the life insurance in
lvestigation began. and while the laws
Of the State of New York now do not
permit any company to write over
$50. 100000 year (Which is about
one-half the New York Life formerly
iid). the company's outstanding busi-
ness still exceeds s.. 600. 900, 900.
Policyholders generally will be still
further reassured by this action OF the
Board. as it places at the head of the
company to protect their interests men

able character

Injury from Mosquitoea.

New Jersey has many places ideal
IN situation and accessibility, and one
such place developed rapidly to a GER
tain point and there it stood, halted
by the mosquitoes that bred in the
surrounding marsh lands. Country
club. golf, tennis and other attrac-
tions ceased to attract when attention
was necessarily focused on the biting
or singing pests that intruded every
where. and the tendency was to sell
out. But the owners were not ready
to quit without a hght, and an i'm
provement society was formed which
consulted with my once and followed
my advice. In one year the bulk of
the breeding area was drained, mos
quitoes have since been absent al
most entirely; one gentleman, not a
large owner, either, told me his prop
erty had increased 5000 in value.
and new settlers began to come in.
This year one of the worst breeding
areas Of the olden day was used as
, camping gorund. and 100 new resi-.
dences are planned for next year

July Ezra Meeker. who has come gu.

before President Roosevelt at Oyster
Bay a plan for the overthrow of HaT-

The plan contemplates nothing less
than the construction of a great CONT

carly part of the nineteenth century
Twice Meeker has travelled the trail
In an OK wagon. The first time was in
1851, when he left Indianapolis and
crossed to Puget sound. A few years
ago he conceived the idea of returning
East over the same route and interest

Sweeney Doesn't Know?

Cheyenne. Wyo-Eugene Sweeney
the man to whom the Cheyenne council
has granted a conditional street railway
franchise. and who desires an electric
lighting franchise also. met with the
council at special meeting. for the
purpose of enlightening them as to his
intentions regarding the franchises.
The enlightenment consisted of the
confession that he didn't know what he
would do with them. Sweeey refused
to agree to deposit the $4,000 forfeit
called for in the street railway fran
chise before the council granted him
an electric lighting franchise. In fact,
he refused to promise anything what-
ever, and treated the matter as lightly
as ne might the application for a dog
tax The electric light franchise will
come up for final action July I'd and
undoubtedly will be killed at that time.
1t is reported that the council is dis
gusted with Sweeney's methods.
