The COURIER has but one rate
to all advertisers and treats all
advertisers in the same manner

comes TO US that we lose business
because the other papers make
concessions with respect to their
rates. We urge you not to be
misled by newspapers which are
granting you concession In
that kind of a newspaper you
never know when you have
reached the bottom. You may
think you are favored, but your
neighbor is probably nearer the
ho'tom than you are
The advertising department of
any Newspaper is only conducted
rightly when the rate is the
same to everybody under the
same conditions. When a news
paper offers you cheap rate,
YOU can easily bank on it that it
lis a cheap newspaper and is con.
scious of its own weakness and

with.
The COURIER wants all the ad-

fair price for the same. AT

One Of our southern salesmen

his last trip:

struck him.
He bored an auger hole through
the doorpost and stuck . calfs tail
into it with the tufted end outside.
After awhile he saw Q solemn

looking at the sign. The tanner
watched him a minute and then
stepped ou' and addressed him.
"Good morning. SIR" he said.

WHAT HE MEANT.

An old sea captain was visiting
certain exhibition, and was greatly
interested in the mechanical section,
where fine array of steam whistles
was on show. "How far can that
one be heard?" he asked, pointing
to huge 'buzzer." The young man
in attendance was only a deputy,
but he promptly replied: "Sixteen
miles," Sixteen miles? ?" said the
old salt, incredulously. 'When l say

FAWN THAT WASN'T AFRAID.

One day last week B. N. Rogers, a
farmer in the Shirkshire district,
found a doe and a beautiful fawn
not more than three or four days old
in his meadow.
The doe became frightened and
fled, but the fawn showed no sign OF
fear, permitting the farmer to caress
it, and finally it followed him to the
barn. Mr.. Rogers drove to Shell
burne Falls and had the fawn, lying
at the feet of his two little daughters,
photographed.
During the picture taking the
fawn gazed steadily at the photog-
rapher and his camera but gave no
indication of being afraid. On re-
turning to his home Mr.. Rogers took
the little animal back to the meadow
and in a short time it was joined by
the doe.-Springfeld Republican.

WOMEN'S FEET GROWING!

Prof. Gieler of Munich, after ex-
tensive study in Europe and Amer
lea, has come to the conclusion that
women's feet are rapidly growing
larger. The time may come, he
says, when in the matter of feet
there will be little difference between
the two sexes. He has made careful
measurements of the proportions OF
feet on ancient statues, and has COM
pared these measurements with the
feet of modern women, always to the
advantage of the latter. He at
tributes the change to the growing
taste for walking, athletics and other
outdoor exercises. Frenchwomen's
feet are increasing in size at a rapid
rate.

MONARCH NOT MUSICAL.

Some time ago it was reported
that King Peter of Servia was COM
posing his own anthem. The state
ment first appeared in a Berlin news
paper, and ultimately found its way
into the international cables. AS a
matter of fact, the announcement
was received at Belgrade with some
incredulity and amusement. His
majesty is by no means musical. A
prize for new national anthem was
offered, but it seems unlikely that
the king himself should begin study
ing harmony in order to supply the
want. The only musical member of
that royal family is the crown primes.
whose possession of a gramophone is

said that groups of children often

the pavement under his open win

EELs AND THE SEARcHLIGHT.

Danish Investigators have found a
means of checking the downward mi.
grafton Of breeding cells to the sea,
whereby it is hoped that valuable
food supply may be saved for The
country, for these migrating cells
when they have once reached the sea
never return to their native rivers.
The method is simplicity itself. A
large acetylene searchlight is placed
by the river bank in such a position
that its rays can be made to illumi-
nate the comparatively shallow water,
and it is found that by this means
the downward movement of the fish
can be effectively checked.-Phila'

"BULLS" FROM THE BENCH.

Some excellent bulls are credited
to William Arolin, who was a Lon
don police judge in the '3Os of the
last century. He once remarked to
counsel: eff you can show precisely
at what moment the offense was
committed and prove that the pris-
oner was not there when he did it he
could not possibly have done it,"
And he sagely added: eve cannot
divest ourselves of common sense in
a court of justice" Of a similar
character was an axiom he once de-
livered himself of, which has been
maliciously fathered on many other
occupants of the bench: eff ever
there was case Of clearer evidence
than this case, this case is that case"

Geneva sends a clipping from a
Swiss newspaper from which it is
noted that more modern methods of
grape culture are being adopted in
Switzerland. The old vineyards have
been attacked by phylloxera, in fight
ing which the government has al
ready spent $482,500. Now it is de-
cided to replace the old vines with
the more robust American vines. To
aid the planters in the substitution

Superior & Nevada Development
Company of Duluth, is located, has
this to say:
Esmeralda County, Nevada,
has total output for the yeay of
81, 2e3, 543.~. Of this $7,O26, 154 in
gold Came from the famous Cold
field camp. The increase in pro-
duction of this camp over the pre-
vious year was IS, 49, 99. The
figures quoted show a marked in
crease in bullion product and indi-
cate material progress in the con-
dition of the mineral industry of
the State. They may, however,
be questioned by many persons en-
gagged in mining stock transactions
who have led the public to believe
that millions of dollars are coming
monthly from the mines in the new
er camps. To those engaged in
legitimate mining enterprises, how
ever, who know the time required
to bring even the best of mines to a
stage of development where steady
and regular production may be ex-
pected the showing is most salts
factory. The grade of ore in some
mines has been remarkably high
considering the quantities shipped.
and as these shipments have been
published when the ore was hoisted
and sacked and again when actual
ly shipped and still again when re-
turns were received exaggerated
ideas as to the weekly and total
output of certain prominent mines
prevail. Everything indicates a
still more marked increase. Over
rs per cent of the total yield in
Nevada came from Go1dhe1d much
very high grade ore was shipped,
but the average value of the ore
treated was $11S per ton on which
$117.83 was gold and II cents sill
yer. 1,
That what the sober, conserva-
tive and absolutely reliable report
of the United States Government
says of the production of the Cold
field district. There are facts that
cannot be disputed. Think of it
all of the ore mined averaged Sly
S3 in gold to the ton.
The Nevada Mascot mine
owned by the Lake Superior and
Nevada Development Co. is in this
district and the company proposes
to open this property up on legiti-
mate mining lines in the near flu
ture. The officers and engineers
believe it will make big produce.
Capt. Isaacson, of Eveleth, told
you in this paper last week all about
how rich the u. S. Grant Mine in
Tuolumne County, CAL, also own
ed by the company is and now the
company tells you of another pro-
perty it owns and lets you know
