ANTICIPATED INTERRUPTION.

F. NJ. Bradley, the noted superintend-
ent of the Sons of Temperance, was
talking at a local hotel about temper

he said. lis always sure of respectful
hearing. In the past il was not so. At
the beginning of the temperance move

had to look out lest he give his hearers
an opening for some OppOrtune but

Mr.. Bradley gave a loud laugh.

horribly. In the end an ex-prize fight

For BETTER PUBLIC SERVICE.

The new Chicago Railways COM
pany has just issued to it's employees a
booklet Of instructions that is worthy
of the attention Of managers of SINH
lar corporations everywhere. Among
the instructions are these to all en-
ployes:
"Trainmen will be expected to con-
duct themselves at all times with the
understanding that the public comes
first. and courteous treatment of pas
sengers viii be insisted upon as an i'm
mediate improvement which does not
need to wait for new cars or new rails.
Show consideration for the comfort of
passengers by attending TO such things
as the cleanliness. ventilation and heat
ing Of cars while on the streets. Do not
inconvenience the public by switching
short of the ends of routes unless 1t
can be shown to be good railroading to
do so.
SHOW a general cleaning up and i'm
provement in personal appearance and
uniform, remembering that stricter re-
quirements will prevail"
Conductors are given this admoni-
ton:
Conductors will be expected to re-
duce the number of accidents hereto
fore chargeable TO their carelessness
Do not give the bell signals too quickly
when persons are alighting from or
boarding your cars. Watch for passen-
gers at transfer points. Guard those,
particularly women and children, who
attempt to alight from or jump on
moving cars. Assist any passenger
who may need assistance in keeping
with your position as trainman."
MOtormen are told TO
Watch persons. especially small
children, playing in or crossing the
streets in front Of your cars. Avoid
collisions at interesting street car
crossings
Protect persons who get on or off
the cars at the front platforms Dis
continue unnecessary conversations
with passengers.
do not pass by passengers unneces-
sarily.
DO better railroading, and do st
now"
The most important of all the in
structiOns is the admonition that the
public comes first" Men who work
for public service corporations are too
apt 10 forget this fact. Many of them
act as if the public was under obliga-
tons to them as individuals and TO
their corporation. hey treat people
CONTEMPORARY and give them to I'M
derstand that they are merely tolerated
on the cars or in the offices.
These employees do not realize that
the public. though slow to anger. is
mighty when once its wrath is
aroused. No corporation. however alb
solute the j onopoly it may have on a
particular field, can prosper long with
out the good will of its public If it
does not furnish the courteous service
and attention people like the time Will
inevitably come when another corpora
lion that will afford the service and
tn, courtesy will come into life. and
then the overbearing, arrogant corpo-
ration will go TO pieces.

OF the worlds total output of silver
the United States, which reported S.
s25, 9l1 fine ounces for 1907, contributes
over one-third; this is obtained largely
as a by-product in treating ores con-
tanning other metals.
The record worlds production is 49,
591, 1854 fine ounces. made in 1900, the
first year of existence of the "smelteF
trust" In that year silver averaged
61.3 cents per fine ounce at New York,
which was the highest for five years
following 1900. Notwithstanding the fact
that the worlds output in the interval
fell off nearly 10 per cent.
The recovery in the price of silver
during 1906 and 1907 was due princi-
pally to the larger purchases by In
dia-the foremost consumer in the
world-and the resumption of buying
by the United States mint. Had not
there occurred the surprising business
depression in the United States and
some other countries and the drouth in
India, which seriously affected the
crops there during the last few months,
the price of silver would undoubtedly
have remained at a Temunerative level
for producers.
An encouraging feature of the situa-
ton today is the larger purchases by
Cnlld-d llelu lildt II must pIOtiliSiHS,
for the reason that the demand for
subsidiary coins is growing as a result
of commercial expansion.
Another light of hope is TO be found
in the possible demand for silver in
Africa, where it is believed the ten
dency is to hoard the metal, much as is
done in India.
The United States may continue to
purchase silver for an indefinite period
and an occasional demand viii come
from European governments; but the
producer must depend for his saliva
ton upon the consumption in the far

with lights from big electric plant
which has been installed on the
Middle Boise river, about one mile
and half distant. The mill is al
so connected with the mine by
tramway for the economical handl-
ing of the ores. The ore, after be-
ing first reduced by Gates crush
or at the mine, is then delivered to
the mill by the tramway. 1t then
passes through the stamps and over
the amalgamating plates and over
four six-foot f1ue Vanncr concen-
traitors. The material then goes in
to hydraulic sizers, the fines going
over one more frue Vanner concern

ing re-ground by tube mill, which
is also again treated by amalgama-
tion and concentration. Alter leav-
ing the concentrators the pulp then
passes over slime tables as a final

success he will also install a cyan

that might escape.

MAVERICKS NEW FOLDER.

During the past week there has
been added to the already excellent
equipment of the Maverick print
ing plant, folding machine of the
latest and most improved pattern.
This new machine is a special
make and will cut, fold, trim and
past ither six, eight, ten or twelve
pages at one operation as fast as
the papers are delivered from the
press, and will deliver either at the
second or third fold. This new adj
dition was necessary owing to the
large and rapidly increasing circula-
ton of the Maverick and the difficult
in getting so many papers ready for
delivery through the postofficc in
reasonable time, folding and mall
ing by hand. The folder will make
the east and west train mail day
earlier and will greatly facilitate
matters in the office. The folder
will be in operation every Thurs
day afternoon at five O'Clock and

AWAKENING OF CHINA.

1t is announced that Chinese cap
itaIists are arranging to erect a
great steel plant to cost some ten
millions and that orders for the
equipment will soon be placed in
this country. That indicates that
the old empi re is indeed awakening.
The Chinese have already shown
disposition to build and operate
their own railways, and, If they
found such plant as suggested and
manage it successfully, the land of
the dragon will certainly have en-
tered into fellowship with the
agencies of the steel age.
1t is impossible to set limits to
the possibilities OF China if she
embrace the modern spirit, adopt
modern methods, avail her self of
modern Appliances and set to work
with modern tools in their hands.
The founding of steel plant by
Chinese capitalists to make steel
for the use of China and her people
will certainly be a long toward en-
traancc upon twentieth century
career in full step with western
civilization. She needs steel for
her railways, her ships and her
guns. These are the reasons now
actuating her, but, when she enters
upon the extensive manufacture of
that product, IT will not be long be-
fore the stimulation will be felt by
all other industries.
The world has had many fear
some dreams OF a China stirred by
the old spirit that once made the
Tartars world conquerurs, but 1t has
just as much reason to fear a China
selling upon modern industrial me
thods and devices and training the
energies of her people in COMPETE
tion with Europe and America in
the fields of commerce. None
knows how many hundreds of mil
lions of people China has, but all
know that she has enough to make
her formidable competitor when
ever, fully awakened from her long
slumber, she shall put forth her
strength and her energi les to secure
share in the worlds business.
