ITS TIME TO GET READY.

The assembling of congress in short session is only a little more than two weeks in the distance, so that it would be well to organize for the statehood struggle which we hope will be the last.
 While the indications are that all the powers that be are favorable to the early admission of the territories, action might easily be delayed by the press of other matters, unless the statehood business is strongly pre- sented by those most interested.
 There will be the big appropria- tion bills, and though the majority program includes no waste of time on the tariff question, it is pretty certain that the minority will en- deavor to go on record, so that there is a probability that some time will be consumed in fruitless debate
 But a strong local organization with a carefully. planned campaign. we think will give a statehood bill a sufficient impetus to drive it through congress within the next three months.
 New Mexico has been organized for this fight for months. In fact, our sister territory for years has never been unorganized as to a state hood fight, but two strong organiza- tions are better than one.

To Clean cane- Seated Chairs.

When cane-seated chairs become shabby and the elasticity is gone out of them, they may be restored by turning up the seat and washing the cane work with hot suds made by dissolving tablespoonful of Gold Dust Washing powder in a pail of water. Apply the suds with a sponge until the cane is thor oughly soaked and leave in the fresh air until dry. Willow and rush furniture may be cleaned in the same way.

COMING SOON

Thanksgiving Day will soon be here. If you cant eat tur- key with the folks at home this year you can at least send them a postal card with a big fat gobbler on it just to show you are with them in spirit. We have the cards and the turkeys are in all stages of glory from the pompous live one to him on the platter with the dressing ready to burst through, he's stuffed so full. Can't you smell it? Pick them out of our jum- bo post card rack at two for five cents.

There has evidently been some tall lying by newspaper correspondents at home and abroad about the Elkins- d'Abruzzi engagement For months we have been regaled with the most elaborate details of the ducal we'd ding. We have had word for word statements within quotation marks by the duke himself, by Miss Elkins and the members of her family, by Queen motely concerned in the affair, and now it appears on the highest au- thority that there is no affair at all, and probably there never was one.

Though the usual arc lights were in operation last night the streets seem- ed dark and gloomy. The eyes of the populace had became accustomed to the carnival lights during the week. It would be almost cruel to deprive us of them now. We hope that the merchants who have the matter in hand will be sufficiently encouraged to keep up the movement for retain ing the lights

A member of the Gould family complains that he can not live on s400,00O a year. Why didn't he let us know about it sooner, while the territorial fair was on? Phoenix might have held another Tag" day and donated the proceeds to the re- lief of this sorely pinched person. One who tries to get along on $4OO,OOO a year may have a pretty tough time of it. On the face of it, it seems as though it ought to do, but then most of us never tried tt.

PLAN NOW

for Christmas giving. Settle first on what you will get for your husband. Does he smoke? Let us suggest a box of, say 90 cigars. We can sell you 50 5c cigars for S2.1O, thus saving nearly one-fifth of what he would pay over the counter one at a time. Not poor stock in fancy boxes to catch the eye, but standard brands: Owls, Pippins, Opias, Portuondos, Eagles, Baer Seconds, Little Toms. San Felice. If this sug- gestion pleases you, come in.

It is to be hoped that the campaign for the fifth annual territorial fair will not be permitted to lag until after the appropriation bill providing still more liberally has passed the legislature. And by that time the season for boosting the fair will have begun.

Have an Egg Famine.

Rhinelander, like other cities
in Wisconsin, is now in the grasp
of an egg famine. 1t is almost
an impossibility to get fresh
eggs at any price and the cold
storage variety is even scarce.
Ancient hen fruit which has been
resting i'll the store rooms for
several months commands the
fancy price of thirty cents per
dozen. The merchants find it
difficult to get eggs. good or bad,
and it will not be until next
spring that the hens will make
an effort to relieve the situation.
