Couldn't Flatter Him.

This is the way an agent
worked a fellow: "You needn't
begin jollying me-" said the
gruff man to the man that had
land to sell; "I'm not a man that
can be affected by flattery.
When - ''That's just
what said to my boss," inter-
rupted the agent. Il told him
when he suggested your name to
me, that it was a relief to call on
man who did not expect to be
praised and flattered to his face
all the time. l tell you, Mr..
Grump, this city has mighty few
men such as you. Nine men out
of ten are simply dying to have
someone tell them how great
they are, but you are above such
weakness. Anyone can see that
at a glance. I'm glad of it. It's
helpful to meet a man who rises
superior to the petty tactics of
the average solicitor. It's a real
and lasting benefit, and an in
structive experience. Ten
minutes later, after a few more
such comments on the part of the
agent, the man who could not be
fattered into signing the con-
tract was asking which line his
name should be written upon.

Keep Eyes on Elk City.

To all who make inquiries the editor
of this paper has made the one reply,
which, in substance, is, Keep your
eye on Elk City," 1t is not necessary
to prophesy or risk opinion on the fu-
ture. Shrewd business men want none
of that, and the writer has no desire or
inclination to start stampede this way
simply for brief period of good times
that might be enjoyed, while knowing
that fate often turns into sorrowful
joke premature and sudden exploitation
in mining camps, which, if undertaken
in conservative and business-like way
might be established on firm and last
ing basis.
There is radically different opinion
of the Elk City district this year, than
has obtained among mining men gen.
orally in the past. The good opinion

took hold little over a year ago, when
the Bradley company took bond on
the Buster, and it was not until that
company plunked down the price and
became owners Of the big property last
July that some of the knockers would
let up on their rapping long enough to
take notice. Then some would not be
convinced; they had to wait for mill
and producer. The mill Is there now,
and is turning out more of the yellow
metal than any other mill of itS size in
America. But it isn't big enough, SO
it will be made bigger soon. The mine
itself is showing up wonderfully.
Elk City Will Just Grow:
So, we say there is different opin-
ion about Elk City now. There isn't
knocker in the country now. All the
oldwise boys among the mining men Of
a year ago want to come here now, and
several have come, were pleased. and
are now owners of property. Several
properties will have mills added
during the summer. The good word is
still on the move. Elk City people
don't have to boost any more. All we
have to do is to just watch us grow, ant
let those who want to come here do the
same.

STRANGERS MAKE INQUIRIES
Many Business Men Planning
Ito Get in on a Boom.

The favorable mentions of the mines
in central Idaho by the press through
out the country is not the only proof
that the fame of this section is spread
ing abroad. Citizens of Elk very fre-
quently receive letters from friends at
a distance who want to know more
sbout the mines. Letters of inquiry,
from strangers, reach Mining News al
most every mail, and the information
asked relates not to mines only, but
covers various subjects. Letters from
business men, evidently looking for a
new field, are many, and correspond
ents of that kind have increased greatly
in the few weeks past, or, notably, since
the first of the year. About all lines OF
business are covered by the enquiries,
even to the professions and manufacture
ing.

Would Start Brick Yard.

One man writes from the northern
part of the state that he has heard and
read much about Elk City and the mines
and he wants to know what the place
offers to one who would come and start
brick yard. The writer says he has
had great deal of experience in his
business in the boom mining camps in
the west, Idaho in particular. He be-
lieves Elk City lis about to start on a
boom, and he says if there is a demand
here now for $4,000 brick he will move
here at once. start in his business and
risk to the growth Of Elk City to sus-
tain his establishment.
The Mining News man made canvass
among the business men now here and
learned from one that he has plans
ynder way to erect double block busi-
ness house the coming summer, or as
soon as business growth demands more
room.

man of different temperament the Gus

the early years Of the government Of
the United States OF retaining the cab
met Of one administration for service
with its successor where that success
sor succeeded 10 the political ideas of
its predecessor. President Adams
sought al first TO retain through his
administration the members OF the
cabinet OF President Washington. H.
deed at that early period the status
of cabinet officer was not exactly
that of the present time, and In the
course Of President Adams rows with
the members of his official household
he resorted to the strange step Of re-
moving his secretary Of state, Timo-
thy Pickering, and James McHenry,
his secretary Of war.
President Jefferson Of course took q
new cabinet. President Madison con-
tlnued In his administration a number
OF the cabinet officers OF President
Jefferson. and President Monroe held
some Of his predecessors. John Quincy
Adams also continued to meet about
his council board some of the advisers
of James Monroe. but Andrew Jackson
began his administration with an er-
tirely new set of official cOunselors.
He maintained also another set of ad-
visers, unofficial who became known
as the Kitchen cabinet"
For some time the gentlemen who
had acted respectively as secretary Of
the treasury, secretary Of war, secre-
tary Of the navy. postmaster general
and attorney general in the cabinet Of
President Jackson retained their seats
under President Van Buren. but
changes only awaited the passage Of

BELIEVES
IN AGENCY

Editor LEADER
A Guthrie correspondent of the
Wichita Eagle writing on the dafcat
Of the agency system takes the posi-
tldn that the vote Of the people means
that they are against the agency sys-
tenn in its entirety. Il ans long hceh
known that the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
would seek to put this consideration
upon the adverse Vote On the other
hand If the agency extension proposi-
ton nRd carried the same element
would have put another false con-
struction upon the motive back of the
vote, to-wit: That the people wanted
more liquor and mere dissatisfied with
prohibition. The action Of the legis-
lature placed the Prohibitionists be-
tween the devil aTl the deep sea.
The proposition was submitted in
such a manner that the voters coWit
not approve Of the agency system as
y new exists without at the same time
agreeing to tho extension Of the
agency to towns of 1000 inhabitants,
and such other places as there may
be a necessity therefor, and at one
and the same time making the whole
system a part of the constitution IN

the terms Of the enabling act so far
