Grover Taylor and Herman Rottier
of Blue Hill recently succeeded, with
the aid of their dogs, in killing bob
cat. The animal was traced to a
brush pile and when discovered it put
up a fight with the dogs. Grover
Taylor shot at and wounded the cat
and the dogs did the rest. The boys
were wolf hunting and did not expect
to secure such prize as this.

A number of Mrs. Cooney IS friends

Saturday evening to wish her many
happy returns of the day. The oc-

served. At midnight the callers de-

The latest primary law bill is by
Representative Johannes Saugstad of
Climax, who would have all candi-
dates for state Offices, congressman,
United States senator's and for the
legislature gather at the state capitol

would be formed, it being composed of

It is now proposed to add to the
duties of the railroad and warehouse
commission the work of board of
public utilities. The scheme is pro-
posed by Carl Wallace of Mlnneapo-

and inspect the operations of the new
board there. Such a board would

State guarantee of bank deposits is

Schaefer, lacking the sanction of the

Is the democratic state insurance
department discriminating against the
small insurance companies of the
state? I ask the question, not with
any knowledge that such is the case,
but simply in keeping with some Cos
sip along this line that will not down.
The kicks as I get them have been
loud and long regarding Mr.. Harti-
CAMS unwarrantable interference with
the little fellows, some of his rulings
tending to practically put them out of
business. In several instances the
legal department., with whom the COM
missioner's charges have been filed,
has dismissed them as too trivial for
consideration.
Harrison Bennett, whom the gossips
have been connecting up with the sur
veyor general of logs and lumber for
the Duluth district, has been dancing
attendance on the democratic execu-
tive department the past week, but his
activity so far seems to be without
success. Bennett, to start with, was
practically assured sure thing in the
shape of successor to F. L. Ryan, the
present surveyor general, but Ryan's
friends have come to the rescue and
they are making life burden for the
executive and all concerned. Every
Celt in the three big cities has inter-
ested himself in the controversy.

would like due credit:

The above figures show whether or
not this plant has been properly
managed. The yearly report Of the

been idle along some other lines.
Receipts are larger than last year,
just how much, I am unable to say:
and apparatus in the plant and on the
service is in much better condition
than year ago. Misrepresentation
and libelous reports don't have
much effect On black and white

to the books this is by far the best
showing the plant has ever made and,
if I am not responsible for most of it,
who is? Yours respectfully,

Great Bunker Hill.

Mining and Concentrating company,
whose bonanza mine in the Occur
d'Alenes in northern Idaho was dis
covered by a mule a quarter of a
century ago, announced in Spokane
there are 100000 tons of lead-sil-
yer ore blocked out in the property
or enough to continue the present
output of 10000 tons a month for
ten years This property has made
a half dozen millionaires in Spokane
since it started operations 20 years
ago, and it has paid 81, 100000 in
dividends at the rate of $45, 900 a
month since that time. None of the
stock is for sale, most of it being
held by a few persons in Spokane,
San Francisco and Wallace. The
mine is one of the best producers in
the Occur d'Alene district, which
contributed about 40 per cent Of the
lead output in the United States.
Five hundred men are employed in
the mine and mill, and this force will
be increased as soon as the new

KING REJUVENATES PRINCE.
Edward Wants Son to Gain Grasp OF
Government.

The rejuvenation of the Prince of
Wales has an interesting history.
Not very long ago the prince showed
marked symptoms of that depres
sion which has oppressed his two
older sisters so previously. King
Edward saw that he needed rousing
and consulted Sir James Reid as to
the means.
Sir James, who has often tried to
persuade the King to shift some of
the burdens of his position on to his
sons shoulders, saw an opportunity
of hitting two marks with one bullet.
''To be Europe's international
minister is sufficient task for any
man drawing near TO-" were his ex-
act words, and the king began to
see the wisdom of it.
The king sent for the princess of
Wales, in whose judgment and COM
mon sense he has the greatest con-
fidence, and, after a consultation
with her, told the prince that he
must henceforth be more in the pub
lie eye.
81 myself" he said to the heir
public duty before the latter years
of Queen Victoria's reign, that 1 was
obliged to hold aloof from political
and diplomatic influences. 1t was
not until within very recent years
that I have been enabled to show
myself to my empire in my true
light. I do not want this atmos-
phere of misunderstanding to en-
velop you"
The success of the kings plan has
been justified by the marvellous adj
vance the prince has made in the
public estimation. An interesting
fact, which accentuates the growing
interest of the prince in affairs of
state, is that he receives a daily
precis from one of the kings secre-
taries of all the private Information
connected with foreign affairs that
reach his father.
The prince is an exceptionally able
man of business, he is practical
expert on aerial matters, and he has
a profound knowledge of naval af-
fairs. He is now taking great care
of his health. and studying his diet
with much attention. He has cut
down his allowance OF cigars, once
something excessive, and drinks
nothing with his meals, and only one
whisky after them-London Seller.

ment conducted by the National

larger appropriations on the part of
the government.
Mr.. Fox is thoroughly acquainted
with this work and we feel will in
terest your citizens and show them
that we of the Inland Empire have
as much interest in this great ma
tional movement as have the resi-
dents of any valley section of the
United States.
AS Mr.. Fox's time is limited, you
will notice that his schedule has
been planned SO he can reach as
many cities as possible and remain
long enough in those cities to secure
full cooperation in the movement,
He will remain over one day in We
natchee after the meeting.

Then the unsettled condi- tion of the affairs of the republic during all the years between inde- pendence and the rise to power in Mexico of Por6rio Diaz, whose wise and far sighted administration re- duced chaos to order and set Mex leo anew in the pathway of pro- gress, contributed no little to the stagnation that has been the DOT tion of Mazatlan. Another factor, as indicated in e.of the preceding articles was extension down into the interior of the republic of the railways from the Rio Grande, con nected there with the American system of railways, which cut off Mazatlan from a rich commercial field she enjoyed beyond the Sierra Madre, in Durango, Jalisco and states adjacent. All the factors mentioned have contributed to the comparatively stationery condition which has been the lot of the city du- ring the two or three decades that have just passed Yet the city has grown; but not with that growth to which it is entitled by its location and central advantages.

Uniform Success.

For his uniform success in the April term of the district court closed last week, Fred Noon is re- ceiving much commendation and congratulation, which he deserves richly He appeared in a number of very difficult cases and con- ducted them all to a successful conclusion. He defended Mora, who was indicted for murder, and to the surprise of everybody he secured an acquittal, when a yer dict of manslaughter was expected by all. He secured a mistrial in the case of Fidel Silvas, indicted for assault with a deadly weapon, and then secured dismissal. In one case against Fred s. Darby he won an acquittal, and the other was dismissed. The first was burglary case, and the other was an indictment for petty larceny. With the aid of Mir. A. A. Worsley from Tucson, he secured an acquit- tai for Al Johns, indicted on charge of grand larceny (cattle stealing); and on demurrer he knocked out another indictment against Johns, and he sent by the same route an indictment against Esequiel Sanchez, another of Fred's clients. The latter. who was in- dicted on charge of buying stolen goods, was held for the next grand jury, with bail fixed at $500. The last day of court Fred succeeded in getting that client released upon his own recognizance.

 Mir. Heald who is superintendent of the missionary field in Arizona and New Mexico in the Congrega- tional church, had visited a num- Der of places in .Arizone to inquire into the inducements offered for such a school, and he seemed inn pressed with the idea that Nogales offers the best field. In the popula- tion tributary to Nogales in Sonora and Sinaloa there are many fam lilies who will desire to send their children to good schools in the United States.
