British Boycott: Beef Trust.

LONDON, Dec. 15.-The British gov.
ernment has decided to exclude the
American meat packers, against
whom prosecutions have been insti.
tuted In the United States, from ten
dering contracts for the supply of
meat to the British army and navy,
pending the settlement Of the suits.
The decision of the government is due
to the opposition of labor and ad.
vanced radical members of parliament
to the American trusts. The acts
given out by the war Office, which had
heretofore been secured by American
firms. are now expected to go to the
Argentine meatepackers.
CHICAGO, Dec. 15.-J. Ogden Ar.
mour, president Of Armour & Co.,
said tonight that the contracts of the
indicted American packers with the
British army, estimate roughly, had
amounted to between SIS, 900, 600 and
$40, OO0. 900 annually.

A FRIENDLY SUGGESTION.

It occurs to the River Press that
residents of the proposed new counties
of Hill and Blaine should emulate the
example of Chouteau county in the
matter of safeguarding the profits upon
their public funds. This is a subject
that appears to have been given little
attention, and this newspaper would
urge-for the benefit of citizens who
are Immediately concerned-that it be
given proper consideration.
The time to arrive at an understand.
ing in this matter is before the cleo.
ton of the custodian of public funds.
In the event that no pledge or agree.
ment is made before election, it is
possible that the desired arrangement
may be difficult to secure at q later
date. There is no Improperly in de-.
manding from q prospective county
treasurer that he pledge himself in
this connection before the ballots are
cast, and the candidate should not
resent a request to that effect. A can
did ate who desires to enter the employ
of the taxpayers should be willing
and anxious to give them assurance
Of good and satisfactory service.
When the custom of restoring to the
taxpayers the interest upon their pub.

pledge in writing that a filed as q

o EN- WILL VOTE,

A political statistician estima tes
that almost q million women will be
eligible to vote for president of the
United States in 1912. Those women
are to be found In the six western
states which have already granted
equal suffrage, the number in each
state who are eligible to vote being
about as follows: California, $780,.
600, Colorado 81 $4,000; Idaho. $4,000;
Utah, $1,000; Washington, 10000;
Wyoming, 3 5000; total, 92s, 900.
Those figures r not exact but con-
stitute the best possible estimate until
such time as the Census Bureau gets
out its figures showing the analysis OF
the population by states. 1t Is posi-
BILE that before the election In 1912

Banks Guarded by Soldiers.

Like the Bank OF England, the Bank
of France is now guarded every night
by soldiers, who do sentry duty out
side the building, a watch being like
wise kept inside its precincts. But
within quite recent time the officials
at the French bank resorted to a very
novel method Of protecting their bull
lion. This consisted in engaging ma
sons TO wall up the doors Of the vault:
in the cellar with hydraulic mortar as
soon as the money was deposited each
day in these receptacles. The water
was then turned on and kept running
until the whole cellar was flooded. a
burglar would be obliged 10 work in O
diving suit and break down a cement
wall before he could even begin &c
plumber the vaults. When the bank
officials arrived next morning the wa
ter was drawn off. the masonry torn
down and the vaults opened. Curl
ously enough, within a few months
after this obsolete maner of protecting
the banks cash was done away with,
burglars did actually get into the
vaults and decamp with about $4,000
in gold coin.-Strand Magazine.

culine authorities, for the most part,
are chary of venturing upon such dan
gerous ground. Hence the question has
ever been involved in uncertainty and
It would perhaps remain so were 1t not
that a responsible authOrity-noneo 9th
er than the Young Womans Christian

Gates its competency-comes to the
front with a decision which may fair
ly be accepted as conclusive. 1t is to
the Boston branch of the association
that the world is indebted for the So
luton Of the problem. The occasion for
solving il arose from the completion
of new home for the young women
of the association in the Massachu-
sets city. In framing rules for this
establishment, it was found necessary
to specify precisely the limit of young
womanhood, beyond which the bene-
fits of the home could not be enjoyed.
This has been fixed at S5 years. Up
TO that age young woman comes
within the meaning of the title as un-
derstood by the association and may
enjoy the advantages OF membership
and residence in the home. On reach

Lifting Fire Hose by Elevators.

The latest idea for raising water
for fire-extinguishing purposes to the
uppermost floors Of tall buildings is
to lift the hose by means of the pas
senger or freight elevators. A simple
attachment is provided for affixing the
hose to the floor of the elevator, the
pipe being coiled up in the bottom OF
the shaft so as TO be easily raised.
In a recent demonstration at Mem
phis, Tenn, says Popular Mechanics,
it was said that the water arrived at
the sixth floor of building practical
ly as soon as the floor was reached
by the elevator, and the fire chief of
that city recommended the compul'
sorry adoption of the device by all
buildings provided with elevators. The
hose is inserted in the attachment
about two sections behind the dis
charge nozzle, these sections being
coiled on the elevator floor.
