CATS SOOTHE INSANE,
DECLARES MRS, LOCKE

CHICAGO, Nov. 5.-That the
care of animal pets, especially
cats, has quieting and beneficial
effect on the insane was the state
ment made yesterday before the
Beresford Cat club by Mrs. Gin
ton Locke, president of that or
ganization and vice president of
the American Cat association.
II firmly believe that the care
of animals, particularly such dec
orative, lovely pets as cats, will
soothe the troubled minds of the
insane" said Mrs. Locke.
For that reason, and because
this opinion is advanced by friends
of mine interested in the care of
the insane, | have sent one of my
finest animals, a beautiful white
female, to an asylum in Pennsyl-
vania, where test is being made
of this use of pet animals and

The turkey supply of Spokane
largely comes from the east. There
are some dealers that derive their
supply from the Palouse, the Big
Bend, Lewiston and other wheat
regions. but the major portion of
the supply is hauled across the
Rockies from Iowa and Minnesota.
Turkeys are always scarce" in
Spokane, and the outlook is no
more promising now than it has
been in times past. The indications
are for higher prices than last
year, but there will be no turkey

ROOSEVELT POLICY
ATTACKED

WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.-Orms-
by McHarg, who resigned as as
sistant secretary of commerce and
labor, today fired a broadside at
Forester Pinchot and Commission
er of Corporations Smith, on the
Roosevelt policy of conservation
of natural resources. He said:
ut is absurd to talk about mon
opoly OF water power. In the
United States 250,000000 horse
power can be developed from wat
er falls, and only 100000 are now
in private use. No single corpor-
alton holds over a tenth of the
amount in private control"

ing at % cents per pound dressed,

ing. Last year the Thanksgiving
price was % cents.
Eastern oysters, the inevitable
accompaniment of the luscious tur-
key, will cost the housewife IS
cents per quart this year, which is
higher than last year. Cranberries
are about the same old figure, 20
cents per pound. Celery com.

THE DAY IN THE MARKETS

That dividend will be paid by
the Snowstorm company This
month is practically an assured
fact. No official announcement
has been made to this effect, but
the company's treasury conditions
warrant this disbursement and a
good authority says 1t will be paid.
1t commences to look like a period
OF prosperity was just ahead for
the Snowstorm stockholders, and
in view of the fact that excellent
values are now being obtained in
the lower tunnel, the life of the
mine is sure to be very long one.

la were shipped east around 1910
