LEAVE LITTLE
FOR BRYAN NOW

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Oct. 21.-
Senator Dixon, Montana, conferred
with Roosevelt today. He declared
the presidential fight is now center
ed in Ohio, Indiana and New
York. He said:
1T is absurd to think Bryan will
carry Wyoming or Utah. Bryan
will carry few states west of the
Mississippi. / believe Taft will
carry New York by 100000 and
Minnesota by from $4,000 to $780,.

THINK PATIENTS
SHOULD PAY CITY

The reasons given for the coun-
Gil cutting down so important a
department as that of health last
night, was that $4,000 was asked
for salaries and board of patients
at the isolation hospital. 1t was
figured that the department makes
no reasonable effort to exact pay
from patients able to pay.
Corporation Counsel Hamblen
was referred to, and he informed
the council that isolation hospital
patients could be forced to pay.

Oxvoen TippIinu.

Oxygen tipping is the latest form
of the drug habit said doctor. 1.-TWO
physicians have died of it this year,
and it is stated that there are quite
100 oxygen tipplers among the laity OF
our big cities.
Oxygen, you know, is wonderful
stimulant It's inhalation keeps death
off the dying for days and days. But
taken regularly it soon wrecks the
health. It's effect is said to be de-
lightful. Like champagne, it creates
gayety Along with this gayety goes
a feeling of tremendous power and
lightness. Drunk on oxygen, the most
sluggish and melancholy persons have
a joyous and heartening idea that they
can do anything in the world-wrest
the oil trade from Rockefeller, say,
or with little practice outrun Johnny
Hayes"

BRYAN AGAINST
WOOL GROWERS.
Would Wreck Wool Growing
Industry.


Mckinley was elected through
number of Rocky Mountain states
which had voted for Cleveland. These
states were Democratic because Of the
large mining population. They turned
to Mckinley on account of the severe
punishment they had received by plac-
ing wool on the free list during the
four years of the life of the Wilson
Tariff act, which on the theory of free
raw material swept away the duty
upon wool, and this nearly destroyed
the wool growing industry of the
United States; and if it had not been
saved by the Dingley act, which re-
stored the Mckinley duties upon wool,
the industry by this time would have
been wiped out in the United States.
Bryan hopes to carry Wisconsin, which
is a wool growing state, and the Rocky
Mountain wool growing states which
voted for Cleveland the last time. APP
parently he expects the wool growers
to overlook the fact that the Republi-
can platform expresses and defines
protection to American industries par
ticularly mentioning the farmer, who is
a wool grower.
Bry;n's election would be a menace
to the wool grower in two ways. The
Democratic party has defined its atti-
tude toward wool as q raw material,
although it is the finished product Of
70 xxyhn fn
grow a fleece of wool, and in this eli
mate, where sheep are fed in winter,
they are fed crops, which represent Ia
Dor and high-priced American labor,
whereas the competitor of the Ameri-
can wool grower is the wool grower OF
the Southern Hemisphere australasia,
the Argentine Republic and South At
rica). who has the advantage of peren-
NAL pasture, and owing to this advan-
tage, the cost of wool growing is only
one-half of that of the American wool
grower who, in the states enumerated,
have to feed their sheep in the winter.
Another way to destroy the American
wool grower would be by the destruc-
ton of the American Wooden Company,
which consumes 40 per cent of Ameri-
can wool, on the ground that it is a
trust. The American Wooden Company
is composed of what were formerly
some of the largest mills of the United
States They are thus what Bryan
would denominate trust" and as his
platform boldly declares that the pro-
ducts of trusts should be put on the
free list, he would destroy the market
for what American wool would be left.
Then, again, If, in order to strike ut
the trust, he removes the duty upon
manufacturers of WOOL" he destroys
the other 60 per cent of the independent
mills outside Of the American Wooden
Company, or, in other words, those
that are not in the trust. The Bryan
policy spells ruin alike to wool grow
ers and wool manufacturers
can Economist.

A Woman's Heroism.

History has presented few examples
of greater heroism than that of Mis-.
S. J. Rookie, the telephone operator OF
Folsom, N. M, who when warned by a
resident of the hills to flee for her life
from the flood speeding to engulf the
valley, rejected the opportunity to
save herself and employed the hour
that INTERVIEWED between the warning
received and her own death by drown
ing in calling up subscribers by tele-
phone and acquainting them of their
danger. More than 40 families have
already acknowledged their lives
saved through the magnificent cour-
age of one frail woman, whose life
less body, with the telephone head
piece still adjusted to her ears, was
found IL miles down the canyon.

BOARD Of TRADE

National Board Wants
Less HarShneSs for
Chinese.

The National Board Of Trade. ar its
session today, put itself on record as
opposed 10 class Legislation against the
japanese nation. and expressed the
opinion that Japan should enjoy all the
privileges granted by this country to
other nations
The attitude of the board was en-
bodied in a resolution on the general
question Of immigration, and read as
follows:
Resolved. That the National Board
Of Trade is strongly opposed to any
and all legislation intended to discrIrni-
nate against Japan or her citizens. but
on the contrary it is believed that every
effort should be made to cultivate and
promote the most intimate commercial
relations between the two countries. and
that all privileges now enjoyed by the
mcst favored nations should continue 10
be extended TO the Japanese"
The resolution also disaprroved Of
harshness in the administration OF the
exclusion laws against the Chinese.
Swamped by Reports.
When the delegates reasEembled az
the New Willard Hotel today, they had
before them such a great volume Of
committee reports that consideration Of
many Of them was postponed until the
fnaI session tomorrow.
Among the reports submitted to the
convention today was one providing for
uniform bills of lading in two forms,
one negotiable and the other non-nego-
table.
The first difference of opinion among
the delegates arose when the committee
on rivers and harhors presented q res
olution asking that Congress appropri-
ate $50, 600 0)J each year for the develop
ment of transportation by water E.
r. Wood. Of Philadelphia, protested
that Congress was tired of this annual
demand for $5O.O00.O0O and he suggested
that the outlay Tor river and harbor
be left to the discretion
of Congress-.
William H Gibson, of the New York
board of trade, introduced a resolution
providing that a department OF public
works be created by the Government
with a secretary as the executive head. /
The Gibson resolution aroused wide
discussion among the delegates and was
referred to a special committee TO re-
port at the next annual meeting.
With a view to avoiding at least cne
feature which contributed to the recent
financial crisis the board adopted a reso-
luton favoring the passage Of a law
authorizing collectors Of customs duties /
and internal revenues to accept in pay

No excuse can be advanced by the
House Committee on the District Of
Columbia for longer delaying ccnsid-
Grafton Of the bill for the reduction Of
the price Of gas in this city.
Samuel w. Smith. chairman of the
committee, has said the committee could
not take it up now because il had TO
dispose Of the bills for prohibition in
the District
sims OF Tennessee, author OF one of
the prohibition bills. and a member Of
lhe District Committee, said today:
The prohibition people are not ready
ior the committee TO take up the ques-
tion Of prohibition. Not only do they
not want hearings on the question at
Ihls time, but If an attempt were made
10 set a time Tor the hearing in the
rear future, I. as author OF one Of the
Dllls' should object TO such a proceed
ing.
The temperance advocates have not
decided exactly what they want to ask
from Congress on the line OF prohibl-
ton, and they are not Yet ready to pre-
sent their case"
This frank statement from Mr.. Sims
Skaters absolutely the excuse that has
been advanced for not taking up the
gas question. The people of the Dis |
trict, the citizens associations. and the
outraged consumers of gas are clanlor- |
ing for something to be done by the
committee. The prohlbltionists are
making no such demands on their oues-
tlOn at present.
Why. then. does the chairman of the 4
