The paving of the principal business
streets of Twin Falls Is one Of the wis
est moves ever made by a pretty wise
bunch of business men. While the first
cost of putting down the paving is
heavy, yet when the paving is once
down the amount required for repairs
will not be nearly as high as the pres
ent cost OF road maintenance, to say
nothing of the damage resulting from
impeded traffic under conditions SINH
lar to those of the past three weeks
Besides 1t Is stepping stone to the
paving Of a large section of the city
where public spirited property owners
reside.

Banker Henry Olews in his weekly letter.
He adds; LAS said in previous advices
the volume of production in most indus
tries is not yet equal to that existing
before the panic; yet their tendency is
towards steady increase of output, and
fortunately there is brisk demand for
ali the products of our mills. both pre-
sent and prospective. The iron industry
continues very active, there being a
rush of orders for nearly all classes of
steel products, while the pig iron output,
which last month was at the rate of
%, 500, 900 tons, is rapidly approaching
record breaking proportions The cotton
industry continues quite active, though
somewhat handicapped by the price of

brisk demand for cotton goods is report
ed in all Of the Western markets. The
only branch of this important industry
at present suffering is the export trade
which naturally feels the effect of high
prices. In the WOODEN business there is
much activity; the mills are well sold mp
and prices are firm, largely owing to the
advance and activity in wool, which is
comparatively scarce Only one impor-
tant market has Jagged behind, and that
has been copper The domestic demand
for this article is now improving IN COM

would have been realized no doubt were

Whnt LIS PaintY

The paint on a house Is the extrsms
outside OF the house. The wood is sim
ply a structural under layer. That is
as st should be. Unprotected wood will
not well withstand weather. But paint
made Of pure white lead and linseed
oil is an i~nyulnerable armor against
sun and rain, heat and cold. Such
paint protects and preserves, fortify-
ing the perishable wood with a COM
plete metallic casing.
And the outside of the house is the
looks of the house. A well construct
ed building may be greatly deprecated
by lack of painting or by poor paint
ing.
National Lead Company have made
it possible for every building owner to
be absolutely sure Of pure white lead
paint before applying. They do this
by putting upon every package Of their
white lead their Dutch Boy Painter

CORSET TRUST CAN'T
SQUEEZE WOMANkIND
But There's a String to the
Gallant Defense of Retail
ers' Union.

Chicago, Special; Now the corset
trust las taken a steel-ribbed grip upon
the neck of the down-trodden public
and garroted it with lien strings. But
the squeezed and gasping common peo-
pie has found a champion.
The Retailers Commercial union has
come to the rescue, determined to en-
force the rule of trade that: Free
strings go with the corset"
At the Grand Pacific hotel today a
shot was fired that will be heard around
the world. It was this:
That a corset lace is a part of the
original construction and as necessary
TO the corset as laces in q shoe or but
tons on a mans trousers, and should
not be considered a by-product for
which an extra charge should be made;
and that we vigorously condemn all
manufacturers in the corset trust for
refusing to include a pair of laces in
the sale OF each corset"
The pullhack on corset strings was
denounced by President w. II. Gentner,
of Pennington, Ia, as unfair, unjust
an. illegal. and an injury TO the middle
classes and laboring people who stand
the burden of the extra cost"
"A long pull and a strong pull and a
pull altogether on this corset string
thing and Wen break the trusts back
bone" said another speaker.
