GOOD OUT OF EVIL

~ HE recent depression in mining had the direct effect of introducing many
improvements an nw economies in working, more particularly in the
i methods of ore treatment II was forcfby brought HON to mine owners
that success failure depended not wholly on the min but on the methods of
disposing Of he ore and treating it economically A morec careful investigation
vas therefore made and improvements in chemical mi meta1urgical processes
followed, permitting o. the greatest recovery OF tn marketable products. The
adverse conditions in the metal market stimulated the tendency in this direction,
and incidentally encouraged prospecting for extensive low-grade IRE deposits
which we're formerly sdetracked. Handling enormous quantities o. low grade
material by steam shovel or dredge vas another gratifying change in the meth
DDS adopted by many companies, brought about largely by existing conditions,
and thereby greatly reducing cost If production.

of Mesdames Osborn, Chapman and

! Anti-saloon League, appointed by the
w. c. T. U. to call upon the county
commissioners to look after matters
pertaining to licensing saloons. Mrs.
West was called to Pocatello, which
left the work in the hands of Mes
danes Osborn and Chapman, who
were cordially treated by the com
missioners and told that while licen-
ses had been granted according to the
present laws of our state, an effort
was being made to have all saloon
keepers keep their houses according,
ly. That one had been closed at Ida

and any time proof could be estab-

WOman's Future.

Even as Oregon, Colorado, Idaho
and Utah have enfrahchised women
so must the rest of the world follow
their example. Suffrage is discussed
| too often as if it were to be settled
by the needs and views of a few thou
sand ladies who talk in parlors-or
of their husbands. The arguments
for it are to be sought not on Fifth
| Avenue, but in factories; not in the
drawing-room, but in the sweatshop.
How idiotic are many of the obiec-
tons! "A vote is the accompaniment
of the ability to fight" To-day, at
the end of 1907, such an argument
is seriously made. "Unfeminine, >"
