TO OUR READERS

We take pleasure this week in presenting to our readers a nice Christmos addition of the Pica- yune. You will find in this is- sue the advertisements of Pres cott's most up-to-date business men. Men who are willing to divide the profits with you. Look over these ads, it may save you several dollars in your Christmas purchases. While it is pleasure to us to know that the best busi- ness men of Prescott are alert to the fact that the Picayune is the best advertising medium in Ne vada County and have so demon strated the fact by simply over crowding it this week with the many bargains they have in store for their customers and the buying public generally, yet we feel a little like apologizing for che scarcity of reading matter that appears in this issue, but these feasts of advertising do not come every week and we trust that you may be able to more than save the price you pay for the Picayune in buying your Xmas goods from our adver- tlsers. When you go into a store to buy from Me rchant whose ad you saw in this paper, tell him you saw it in the Picayune.

Brown and Davis. the bicycle police
men who follow the presidents auto
mobile about the District of Columbia
are becoming expert riders on their
no motors and, unless the roads are
very bad, manage to keep up with the
big car that carries the executive.
When the ''bike cops first got their
motor cycles few weeks ago they
We're frequently left far behind and
had more than one ugly spill along
the road while trying to keep within
80 or 40 feet of the presidents car
The theory is that the policemen will
guard the president from attack by
crank or enemy, or, if he gets into a
crowd. will save him from annoyance
ky over enthusiastic admirers.
This theory looks good at first sight
but how on earth their presence in
the rear, busy as they are Witft the
manipulation of their chug chuggine
machines. could prevent a bullet oil
bomb from striking anyone in the au-
tomobile, is more than any reasonable
person can understand.

to Madras, Tippoo was ultimately
compelled to resign one half Of his

all prisoners and give his two sons as
hostages for his fidelity.
Prevented from engaging in active
warfare, the sultan began secret in

cents ton on slack.
It happens that slack is a subject
of no interest to the householder bur
constitutes the entire fuel problem for
most of the manufacturers within
reach of a bituminous fuel supply.
Even under present conditions, be-
cause it is cheaper than coal, slack to
the amount of hundreds of thousands
of tons is imported by New England
manufacturers from Nova Scotia. If
the senate tariff bill becomes law
then there will be a strong add1tsoral
reason for favCring it and hundreds
of manufacturers no Wusing coal will
turn to slack The price now in its
favor will be increase dby the differ
ence in the duty which will be 45 cents
ton.
This fact has not escaped the at
tention of the American coal prOduc-
ers and all possible pressure will be
brought on the house conference COM
mittee to refuse to accept the snate
differential.
Senator Burton. of Ohio, who was
most active in the efforts made in the
senate to bring about acceptance of
the free coal proposition of the house
spoke particularly for the coal pro-
ducers of Ohio and the northern part
of West Virginia. They ship millions
of tons of coal into the central part
of Canada every year. 1t has been
said that the Grand Trunk railway,
which gets much of it's fuel supply
from this country, pays customs du-
ties to the amount of 100000 year
into the Canadian treasury.
Whether Canada would accent an
offer to join this cOurtlv in abolish
ing customs duties is a disputed ques
zion. Aldrich has said that he has in
formation that the dominion would not
accept such an Offe". 1t needs the
