IMPARTIAL MAN

tary presiding officer, and, as such,
he should be absolutely impartial,
and, as far as possible, disinterest-
ed. Even though he were disin-
terested and impartial, except as
a party leader, no one would ever
think of giving him control of the
congressional destinies of every
other member of the house.
The responsible party leader
should stand, as member, upon
the floor of the house, and lead his
party by his wisdom, his ability
and his power to maintain himself
as such. If he failed in these re-
spects, another member of his
party would take his place; and
if his party failed in these respects
it would pay the penalty by loss
of control. The theory of free rep
resentation would be restored.
The business of the house would
be conducted and expedited in an
orderly way under parliamentary
rules of procedure.
The office of speaker, presiding
over the deliberations and the pro-
cedure of the house, should and
would be an office of great dignity
and honor, but entirely removed
from the partisan passions, the Bit
terness and the responsibility en-
tering into and creating the issues
upon which he would be called up
on to rule. 1t has been suggested
that Asher Kinds, the present par
Humanitarian of the house, and the
speakers adviser, would be suit
able speaker. In my opinion he
would make an excellent speaker
though, of course, others are also
available. The speaker might or
might not be a member of the
house. The constitution does not
require that he should be a mem
Der.
The foregoing changes are few
and simple. The house can adopt
them whenever so disposed; and

ORPHEUM PROGRAM

Manager Mueller of the Orpheum

program in which everyone can
find favorite, no matter what his
or her tastes are.
For genuine old-fashioned Irish
wit, eloquence and fun Tom Ryan
and Miss Richfield in Mag Hag-
gerty's Reception are among the
best who have been to Spokane in
some time. The antics of the plain,
untutored man who tries to do and
say the right things in polite So

ment on the stage and Mag Hag-

that situation. Mrs. Ma-shay-On,
nee Haggerty, played by Miss Rich
field, is of course anxious that her
dad behave properly when intro
duced into society. Tom Ryan's
Haggerty is true to everyday life
and is well-rounded out in it's de-
tails.
The show opens with Lydell and

We had never parted with the
furniture Constance had originally
owned, and this was sufficient to
furnish one bedroom. We decided
not to invest in a dinning-room out

debts already incurred. - So, for
a dinning-room table we used an
old fashioned fall-leaf sewing table
Constance had, and for DINING

for bedroom and living-room chairs.

TONOPAH SHOWS STEADY
IMPROVEMENT At MINES
Three Months Show Steady Gain
in Professionalism
Will See Increase

TONOPAH, Aug. 9.-Slowly but
surely Tonopah is coming into it's own
and making itself felt as one of the
greatest mining camps on earth. For
the year prior to the last summer the
production of the camp has stood
about the 100000 mark, but the last
three months have shown decided
al rapid Improvement over those
figures, and 1t remained for July to
make a production that exceeds any
thing heretofore recorded.
The figures for that month, as taken
from the books of the various oper-
ating companies, show that over $4,000
tons of ore were sent to the mills,
and it is estimated that this ore had
valuation in excess of $SS0,000. This
is by far the heaviest production the
camp has ever known and it has
brought the amount of money the
camp is turning out up to the aver
age of Goldfeld, which has been run
ming about SS50,000 a month.
Great as this production seems to
be. it is safe to assert that it will be
increased from month to month, as
the mines are getting in better shape
every day and the output increasing.
Goldfield is justly entitled to the rec
ord as a gold producer, but as a silver
gold producer Tonopall is going to
get into a class all by itself.

INDEPENDENT PRODUCERS
DECIDE TO ISSUE OIL
STORAGE CERTIFICATES

The executive committee of the Inde-
dent oil Producers Agency of Califor-
mia has decided to issue oil storage GER
tiflcates to members of the agency hav-
ing oil in storage anywhere In the state
In the Jurisdiction of the agency. The
certificates will be issued early next
month. and will constitute ono of the
greatest aids to the furtherance Of the
oil industry in California.
The plan, which originated with the
California oil Producers agency, and
has never before been put into prac-
tIce anywhere, was devised in an effort
to assist the financing of oil opera
tions in the state, and to promote in
terest In the industry by providing pa
per which becomes at once of a specu-
lative value, as well as immediate col
lateral.
The certificate will represent 5000
barrels of oil In storage with the
agency, which is undertaking the mar
keting of the product of the independ-
ent producers wells, much like the cit
rus associations are handling California
fruit. The certificates will contain so
coupons, each representing 100 barrels
of oil, and will be redeemable, one
each month, for 80 months, at the net
average price of oil In the preceding
month.

C. 0. D. NETS $1OO FROM
FIRST SHIPMENT OF ORE

KINGMAN, Ariz.. Aug. 9.-The first
carload of ore from the c. o. D. mine
netted the company $100 ton. which
more than paid the expense of operat-
ing the property during the time of it's
extraction. When it is remembered
that this ore was taken from the
openings in doing development work
and that none of the slopes have been
touched the reader will appreciate what
the mine is doing.
Since the property began operations a
few months ago a new shaft has been
sunk over 200 feet, and many hundreds
of feet of new drift has been driven
on the vein. At the lower level the
mine shows better ore than in the
upper workings, and it is expected that
when the lowest level of the old work.
ings has been reached, and the mine
drained of its large bodies of accumu
lated water, thousands of tons of rich
shipping ore will be available.
On the 300 level a drift has been run
west from the old shaft a distance of
1000 feet, and it is expected to break
into this drift In the near future and
pump out the water so that slopes can
be opened up in this vein throughout
it's whole length, the shoot being one
of the longest and richest in the dis
trict.

GOVERNM WILL EQUIP
CRUISER WITH OIL BURNER

The latest ftep in the extension Of
the use of oil for naval fuel Is an
order by which the cruiser West Vir-
ginia of the Pacific fleet will be
equipped with burners at Mare Island.
This follows right after the equipping
of six destroyers in the <4tlantic with
oil burners. Further, there is now an
active movement among big producers
of tn; ate, rapidly coming to a head,
to urge strongly on the government
the advisability of using California
fu oil for the navy.
The visible supply of oil, which will
probably be helped by the continued
activity of the Lakeview to no in
considerable extent, is pointed out as
a factor m2--tng for the feasibility of
substituting oil for coal burners in
the big ships. Further, it will be a
matter of about a years work to
establish oil stations practically any
where that coaling stations are now
maintained by the U~ited States in
the Pacific. A great many stations at
which oil burning vessels may restock
their bunkers now exist on the Pacific
coast of the United States.
