A NEW SMELLING PROCESS

Two Salt Lake men are in town
with a device that promises to rev.
olutionize the smelling industry by
eliminating the expensive process of
melting the ore in the furnace, cut
ting out the use of coke, lime, scrap
iron, and the refining charges, and
extracting the values by grinding the
ore into powder and exposing it to
chemical process that sends off the
metals in smoke or fumes. These
fumes are drawn into tank of liquid
that percipitates all the metals, and
they gather about the pieces of copper
in the liquid. They are then sepa-
rated by the application of electricity.
The cost of the chemicals needed to
produce the fumes for the ores of
Bingham, Utah, are said to be only
fifteen cents per ton, but the cost
of grinding the ores is probably quite
an item.
The matter is represented here BY
S. I. Clawson and J. w. James, and
they ask only a hearing and chance
to prove their statements by operat-
ing the model in the presence of in
terested persons, They have the mo-
del at the office of the Grove City
Real Estate company over the Turf
Exchange.

THE AUCTION SALE
D. R. JONES, Cashier

Saturdays auction sale was the
means of transacting considerable
business and of much goods and chat
tells being turned to usefulness after
a period of idleness. Mrs. Sill sent
some things to the sale that she had
been intending to give away when she
found a chance, and in the evening
received $10.80 from Mr.. Kennedy,
as the result Of the sales. She said
she was going to make another col
lection of things she is not using for
the next sale.
The band Of horses all went; at
prices ranging from $128 down. Ice
chests did not sell well on account of
the change Of seasons. Heating
stoves were not much in demand, but
will be getting better. Pigs, harness
and ducks had their places in the col
lection, and all found buyers at sat
isfactory prices. The next sale will
be on Saturday, October 30th. Those
having goods to sell are invited to
list them with E. M. Kennedy as soon
as possible, and he will have them ad-
vertised in next weeks paper. He is
doing his part of the work free to
get the sales started, and after the
next one will do all advertising and
auctioneering and charge three per
cent for it,

THE COMMERCIAL CLUB DANCE

The dance given by the Commercial
Wednesday evening was one of the
very pleasant affairs in that line that
people have been treated to. The at
tendance was good, the floor was not
crowded. and everybody that was
willing to dance was cared for. The
committee in charge did not make
hard work of 1t at all, but took care
Of all the guests and strangers as II
1t were pleasure to see them pro-
yided with partners, and with good
music, good floor and plenty of re-
freshments they succeeded in making
the guests happy.
The Blackfoot Orchestra furnish
ed the music, the Commercial club
members were not SO much In evil
dence as others, but those who were
there did not let it lack for anything
they could furnish One man, the
manager of the Brown-Hart company
purchased pocketful of tickets and
distributed them among his employees
in the afternoon, with the reminder
that 1t was Commercial club night.
Financially the dance was about
evenly balanced, the committee in
charge having small shortage to
make up, which they did very cheer
fully.

ENGINE CRUSHES A BRIDGE.
Jas. Lyons Dies Under The Engine.

James Lyons, Jr., lost his life un-
der the engine of his fathers steam
thresher last Monday while they were
crossing the government canal mile
and half east of Firth.
The engine fell about ten feet and
the young man on the engine was
pinned under 1t in the water The
canal is about fifty feet wide, and the
bridge was reinforced by laying heavy
planks for the wheels to tread, be-
fore venturing upon 1t. A. e. Blair
had taken his outfit across. 1t about
a week before, and they considered
it to have tested the bridge to Its full
capacity. Mr.. Lyons engine is 700
pounds heavier than Mr.. Blair's and
finding 1t necessary to cross they
tried it with the results stated above.
The attention of the county COM
missioners should be directed to the
subject of strengthening bridges so
that the heavy machinery now re-
Quired to conduct agricultural work
can get about in safety and without
the trouble and expense of reinforcing
every bridge they come to. Acct
dents with engines are becoming too
numerous to be longer ignored.

WENT THROUGH AFooT.

Close on the heels of the ocean to
ocean trip of the automobiles across
the continent under the auspices Of
the Philadelphia Press comes a trip
of a different nature to direct peo-
ple's attention to another matter,
and thus keep up their education.
The test of automobiles running
across the continent was to prove
something new in the line of me-
chanical achievements, and give the
public correct understanding Of
matters as they exist.
This other trip was case of walk
ing from Butte City to San Francisco
tn fifty days, wearing one pair Of
shoes for the whole trip, and these
shoes of the Walk-over brand.
In these days of quick and ex-
pensive travel people are apt to for
get that men can walk, and that bet
ter shoes are made now than ever be-
fore. Somebody in Butte made a
wager that two young men, Shelby
and Kirk by name, could walk to
San Francisco in fifty days, and that
one pair of shoes would be sufficient
for each of them for the entire trip.
Men took sides. and Kirk and Shelby
went one better by saying they would
make their living on the trip by hon
est means and thus take themselves
to The Golden Gate without expense,
or asking charity.

They visited the Republican Office for
a few minutes chat. and at each place
where they displayed their souvenir
cards, they sold some at five cents
apiece. Out of these sales they are
paying the expenses of the trip.

LIVE STOCK MARKET REPORT
South Omaha, Oct. 10th. 1909.


There was very fair run of cattle
here all last week, but the shortage
in beef caused good trading In this
division prices closing up tsrong and
a shade higher than the opening. This
strength was noticeable both in steers
and cows alike. The heavy feeders
held their own in good shape through

SOME MARKED CHANGES

Goodwin's Weekly
Canadian officials assert that in the
past year $4,000 families, probably
900, 900 people, have crossed the line
from the United States, to make
homes in the dominion. This lands on
which to build for themselves homes,
and second that ours Is no longer q
land of cheap land. There are sec
.tions where lands are still cheap, but
the environments are such that men
recoil from them
This drain of Americans from our
country is loss which twice the
number Of immigrants from southern
Europe will not compensate for.
But, 1t is Canada's gain and presages
time when 1t will be hard along
the border to tell whether the ances-
tors of the man you meet gave their
first allegiance to the Stars and
Stripes or to the royal standard of
Great Britain.
But while this exodus is going on,
the men who own farms on this side
are becoming little kings. Wheat
over dollar bushel, corn 70 cents,
oats so high that there is a profit In
importing them 5000 miles from
Argentine, beef. chickens, eggs, but
ter, all the products Of the farm, and
the farms themselves doubled In
value in the past dozen years; farm
ers owning their own automobiles
and telephones, farmers wives in soft
rainment every day--a transforms
ton in twelve years, and a landed
aris.ocracy which threatens to be-
come exclusive, verify this puts our
republic in a new light.
We think the census next year will
reveal some wonderful surprises.
We think the people will number
more TINA 10000, 900. and will show
an aggegregate wealth exceeding that
of any other two countries except
Great Britain. If this proves to be
the case then the first resolve should
be that every child must be educated
in way to meet the worlds compe-
titions, for as the population in
creases the opportunities will grow
fewer, the competition more difficult
to meet.

ROAD TO SALMON PROGRESSING

Judge Stevens returned Friday
from Salmon City where he had been
holding the fall term of court, and
said that real estate is on the boom
there. One residence lot had just
sold for $4,000, a corner lot opposite
Shoup's had sold for $4,000, and
various other transfers had been
made at good prices.
In speaking of the railroad being
built from Armstead, the Judge said
he observed that they are using heavy
steel just like we have here on the
main line, and that no expense is be-
ing spared to make the grades easy
and to eliminate the curves. The
grade is less than one per sent, and
where they had chance to run on
the water grade through the valley or
cut through the ridges and gulches
and eliminate the heavy grades, they
cut through the ridges. Fourteen
miles of track was completed when he
came out, and it looks like link in
a transcontinental line.

from the motion pictures.
