Here's to Texas

A woman who lives in El Paso county, Texas, was visiting a, Huron, s. D.-and by the way, she was teacher, teaching the young idea how to shoot. She was asked how she liked Texas, and here is her reply:
 "I would rather sit on the banks of the Rio Grande and dangle my feet in its placid waters, eating hot tamalas, than dine off mbrosial fruit on the door steps of heaven. I'd rather strut around on Texas bitulithic than parade the golden streets of the New Jerusalem. I'd rather live sacred1y and lovingly enshrined in the hearts of Texas boys and girls than have my name in the sum ming up of the song Saints in glory."- ."-Colorado, Texas, Record.

Important Bills Introduced

Washington, Dec. 2k-A bill providing: security to depositors of banks and for "the prevention of boarding of currency" was intro- duced today, uy Senator Owen, of Oklahoma. It fixes a tax upon all deposits and from the funds thus created provides for the pay ment in full of all depositors wher a bank is declared insoltent. The secretary of the treasury is directed to maintain fund of one-nundred million dollars in the treasury notes which may be loaned upon bonds to ninety per cent of their value.
 The bill provides that advances from it shall be charged for at the rate of 6 per cent for the first fou, months and thereafter at the rate of per cent.
 Senator Burket re-introduced his grazing bill of last season. II provides for the leasing of tht public domain to the cattle owners, for the maintance of their stock. giving, however, settlers the right to enter.
 Senator Collum introduced a joint resolution proposing an amendment to the constitution limiting the terms of the presiden, and vice president to six years and prohibiting a re election for second term.

Thore is no disposition to criticise anyone's fashicn of dispensing Christmas cheer. but the Los Angeles man who gathered 500 drunkards from the slums yester- day for the purpose of giving them a weeks holiday can hardly jus tify his method without showing that there was no one really de- serving assistance in that city. It is one of those exhibitions of freakish generosity which do so much to hinder the work of really charitable workers who devote their means and energies to seeing that the really deserving receive help The drunkard can rarely be included in the latter class.

Delegate Smith to the Front

A Washington dispatch states that Delegate Mark Smith, despite the fact that he has no vote in the house. by reason of his long service and high standing among public men in Washington drew com mittee assignments which are far better than are given to the ma- jority of congressman. The Ari- zona member occupies a place well to the head of the democratic list on the committees of public lands, the committee. on postoffices and post roads and the committee on territories.
 In the latter position he will have the opportunity to be especial ly valuable to his constituents as in the hands of this committee is the fate of statehood legislation in the lower house of congress. Dele gate Smith being a member, occu pies a strategic position when the question of recommending the pas. sage of an Arizona statehood bill comes squarely before the com mittee. The chairman of this com mittee is Congressman Hamilton, of Michigan.

What is a Dividend?

A subscriber asks Profit and Loss question on a subject which has often been discussed in these columns. but 1t is one over which there seems to be more or less con fusion,- and there cannot be toe much elucidatisp. He writes:
 "Please inform me about the dividend payments. Do they pay on the par value, or on the amount of shares?"
 Dividends of mining compa nies invariably take the form of so many cents per share.
 A dividend, say, of three cents a share, means three cents on every share of the outstanding capitali- zation. The outstanding capita of company represents the total number of shares less the mum Der remaining in the treasury. To pay dividends upon the treasury stock would be like taking money out of one pocket and putting it into an- other, for the company would in reality be paying itself dividend.
 An owner of. say, 1000 shares in a company which pays a three cent dividend. would receive three cents on every share, or total of $3O on his 1908 shares.-Jerome Copper Belt.

ANNUAL ASSESSMENT WORK

Here are a number of important points relative to the performing of annual assessment work: Where work has been dene on road. ditch or tunnel, or otherwise prior to the location of mining claim, such work cannot he applied to annual assessment on said claim
 The annual assessment work must be performed each year for that particular year and no other
 Work to the amount of $1OO or more performed on an unpatented claim during one year counts as nothing for the next year.
 Travelling expenses cannot be charged on annual labor.
 Failure to perform annual labor does not forfeit your claim unless someone else sters in and takes it according to law.
 A single location is a location and also a claim, but several To- cations, if contiguous, forming solid group. may be considered as one claim. Thus the annual labor for a group of locations or a claim may be performed on one of them or at some other place if it can be shown that the work so performed is for the benefit of all the loca tions in the group. Long tunnels are often run for this purpose.

Its sail is of beaten gold. studded with diamonds. and it's headlight. carried at the prov, is a perfect ruby. An emerald serves as it's rudder and it's stand is slab of ivory. It weighs less than half an ounce, and its price is said to be s5,OO0.

Here is minister who ap preciates the editor. At a recent editorial convention he offered the following toast: "To save an edi- tor from starvation, take his pa per and pay for it promptly. To save him from bankruptcy. advertise in his paper literally. To save him from despair, send him every item of news which you can get hold of. To save him profanity, write your correspondence plainly on one side of the sheet and send it in as early as possible. To save him from mistakes, bury him.

 The bill introduced in the senate by Senator Teller. of Colorado. suspending miuing assessment work in certain states, does not in- clude Arizona. Senator Teller said in the debate that he would like to include Arizona and New Mexico, but he realized that there would be such opposition to this that it would kill the bill.

 Men have various ways of carry ing money. Grocers, butchers and millers carry it in a wad; bankers in clean bills laid at full length in a pocket book, brokers only fold the bill once, doubling the money, as it were. The young business man carries it in his vest pocket; farmers and drovers in their inside pockets, whether it be $50 or 50 cents. Printers usually carry their money in other peoples pockets.

 The Grand Trunk railroad put in effect January 1 what is claimed to be the most comprehensive and generous pension system in the country. After fixing the compul- sory retiring age at 65, an employe of fifteen years standing is entitled to pension according to graduated style The minimum is $2O0 and there is no maximum. Provision is made for men who are disa bled and for men dismissed without cause.
 After. all. there is a good deal in talk. Let a man talk dull times and it is infectious; every body talks dull times. Instead of rusIling around and taking care of what business there is, they all go and sit down and nope over dull times. If customer does happen to drop into one of these dull time" stores he actually gets frightened out of one half as much IS he expects to buy because things look so blue. He catches the spirit of the store and resolves 10 hang onto all his | moLey with death grip, like the store keeper himself, who insists on hanging on to what he has even if his business goes to pieces on ac- count of running short of goods to fill up the empty shelves.
