any council acting for the oity's
welfare would have discharged it's
duties in these matters as the coun-
ell that is being criticised has
done. Had this indebtedness the
Register is SO free to speak of
arisen from the foolish expendi-
ture of money as in the case of the
former council which hauled car
loads of sand to the James Peak
reservoir only to have it blown
back into the city where men were
employed to clean it from the
streets, affording work to small
army of political workers who
would render yoeman service in
the spring elections for the crowd

be justified in raising the criticism
it now makes against council that
is doing its duties in as business
like aud as economical a manner
as these duties can be discharged.

Our contemporary is either care
less in dishing up political dope
or else is not very we'll posted on
presidential timber. Last week in
speaking of the list of aspirants
the Democrats have to select from,
the paper said editorially: "The
Democrats will have johnson of
Minnesota, Hughes of New York,
ETC." If the editor of the other
paper would for brief spell brush
tie cobwebs from his think tank
it will doubtless occur to him that
Hughes of New York is Repub-
lican, and has received the en-
dorsement of the New York dele
cation for the nomination of

Women Who Wear Well.

It is astonishing how great q change q
few years Of married life often make in
the appearance and disposition of many
women. The freshness, the charm, the
brilliance vanish like the bloom from
peach which is rudely handled. The
matron is only dim shadow, a faint echo
of the charming maiden. There are two
reasons for this change, Ignorance and
neglect. Few young women appreciate
the shock to the system through the
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
nesses which too often come with mar
riage and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain is robbing the cheek
of its freshness and the form OF its
fairness.

The Register-Call last Friday
contained very tame reply to the
comment of the Observer made
two weeks ago in answer to an at
tack upon the city administration
by the first mentioned paper. The
modest reply would indicate that
the editor of the Register did not
know what he was talking about
in his previous brainstorm. He
said we made no explanation for
the increased Indebtedness which
the city has to meet through the
transactions of the council now in
charge of the city's affairs and to
which he had made reference. No,

line had to be laid from the city

the old wooden one that was too

water from becoming polluted as
it was brought to the city. The
other improvement which entailed
a heavy expense, and which also

Will Curb Smelter Trust.

The mining men of the Pacific
states have at last awakened to the
necessity of organization and CO.
operation in a fight to curb the
smelter trust and end the absorp-
ton of Independent concerns by
the American Smelling & Refining
company. A meeting has been
called, to be held under the aus
pices of the American Mining Con-
gress in Seattle, the last week in
March, when an independent
smelling and..refning association
will be organized. The movement
is headed by former U. S. Senator
George Turner, of Spokane, and
J. F. Calbreath, of Denver, secre-
tary of the American Mining Con-
gress. The latter is making can
vass of the different mining dis
tricts of the west in the interest of
the movement and makes the fol-
lowing statement regarding the
plans that the new association will
endeavor to carry out:
COMMITTEES appointed for the
purpose of devising ways of stop
ping the absorption of the mining
industry by the trust have made
brief suggestions as possible So
luton of the problem. These, in
brief, are:
"First-State control or regula-
ton of rates which are deemed i'm
practical.
"Second-Federal interference
in the operation of the combine
under the antitrust law.
"Third-The organization Of
the independent ore producers tc
treat their own ores.
"The last was decided upon and
a large amount of money has beer
subscribed to carry it out.
"The trust is endeavoring to
control the entire output of silver,
gold, copper and lead. In case il
succeeds one can readily see how
easy it will be to control an un.
limited number of other industries
Already it controls the output ol
lead and the same is almost true
of copper. Our plan seems the
only feasible one to stop this grad
ual absorption of the nations
wealth by single group of finan
ciers. The manner in which the
trust acquires properties and de.
feats the smaller producers woult
be startling story"

ers Of this section have suffered Sc
verely this year from the effects OF

grain to be dodcked has aroused the
farmers to do something.
This year but little Of the millions

loss by dodckage is heavy. In the
