REPORT AGAINST
Foe;oeers Report Adverse to
Navigation Interests
Protests Should Be Made

Tpf MINER is in receipt Of a commun-
..s,ion from Major c. w. kutz, of the
I,ifed States engineers office at Seattle,
.n,orming it that the engineers who
,,,ad.. an Investigation OF the river coun-
T., With view to certain improve
,,-nt> ilr the benefit Of navigation,
have made their report to the Board Of
Fnglneera for Riyers and Harbors at
Washington, D. c., and that the report
has not received favorable consideration
loln that body.
Major kutz also informs The MINER
that before final action is taken in the
matter all interested parties will have
The privilege OF presenting to the board
,,tte and arguments bearing upon the
desirabiity Of the improvement. Parties
desiring to do so may be heard BY the
board, either orally or in writing. Writ
Ten communications should be addressed
10 the Board Of Engineers for Rivers
anl Harbors, Rooms 507-5l0 Colorado
Ruilding, Washington, d. G., and should
he mailed in time to be in possession of
the board within three weeks from
Nay %
The engineers who visited the river
and made trip as far as lone about
-lx weeks ago, doubtless reported the
lact that the new railroad will parallel
he river, which would have an adverse
influence on further river improvement
However, the mining and other interests
On the east side Of the river above the
CANYON and on the west side at Meta
line would be greatly benefited by fur
thrr river improvements, and their side
ul the case should be presented TO the
board before final action is taken by
that body. The usefulness of the river
az an avenue of commerce will for a
time be materially lessened by the build
ing oi the railroad, but it has great
possibilities in the future.

GOOD AND BAD READING.
6est Kind Must Arouse Reflection and
Build Up Ideals.

Schopenhauer said: "The surest
way of having no thoughts OF our own
Is to take up book every time We
have nothing to do" That is not the
popular idea, for reading is generally
regarded as the generator Of thought
and character. But 1t is not SO OF
itself. One must do something be-
sides read. He must digest what he
reads. He must increase the range OF
his perceptive powers, start up new
set of relations and draw some fresh
conclusions. There are people who
read a great deal more than other
people. but know a great deal less.
They read just to read-to put In
time; for pleasurable sensation that
one gets lying In hammock or drink
fng glass of soda. There Is no di.
gestive force in 1t that builds up brain
fiber. 1t Is the sort of reading that
sustains insipid talk and makes ons0
In little social circle turn away In
disgust when serious subject ia rs-
ferred to- The fact is the only kind
of reading that is worth the time en-.
ployed Is that which arouses refeo
ton and builds up ideals.

Is a sure way to safeguard against
the many adulterated white leads
which are on the market. Any one
can make the test-all that is needed
is simple little instrument which
may be had free by writing National
Lead Company, 1902 Trinity Building,
New York, and asking for House
owners Painting Outfit No. 40.
The outfit includes also set of color
schemes for exterior or interior paint
ing. or both, il you wish, and book

should make any arrangements for
painting till he gets this outfit.
One can't expect a satisfactory paint
ing job without pure white lead. There
is way to make sure you're getting a
pure white lead-without testing it. See
that the key bears National Lead Com

mark, which is a positive guarantee of
purity. Your dealer probably has
this white lead. If not let National
