NO MORE STICKERS ON FACE OF
ENVELOPES

Orders have been issued by the
postmaster general prohibiting the
FASTING of stickers on the face of en-
velopes. Postmasters are instructed
to return 81 Oh letters to the writer's
If there is return card on the envel-
ope, otherwise the letters are to be
sent to the dead letter office. This
order permits the pasting of stickers
on the back of the envelope. if you SO
desire, but beware of FASTING them on
the face of the envelope. It is GUS
tomary for many commercial clubs
and cities to paste booster stickers on
the envelopes, and tho habit of past
ing Christmas stickers has been quite
common. After this all stickers must
be placed on the backs of such en-
velopes If used at all, or it is no go.

exhibits and the attendance.
The horticultural display is spec

LAST DIVIDENDS OF THE STAND
ARD OIL Discussed :.
During Life Of Company the Enor-
nous Sum of $752,OOO, 900 Has
been Paid Out to Stockholders.

New York, Sept. 15.--Stockholders
OF the old Standard Oil company to-
day received checks representing the
lest dividends that will be disbursed
by the great corporation. Under the
recent decision of the supreme court
of the United States ordering the dis
solution of the company, the old or
ganization must be broken up before
the end of the year. Consequently
the final dividend for the year will
not be paid by the old company. In
the dissolution of the parent concern
the stockholders are to receive stock
in the subsidiary companies equiva-
lent to their holdings in the old cor
poration. 1t is not considered likely
that the stockholders will suffer any
loss of income with the change in or
ganization.
Since the organization of the
Standard Oil company in 1882 down
to the final dividend paid today the
stockholders have received dividends
amounting to the enormous sum of
$752,000,000. For the past eight
years the company has paid to the
holders of it's 500, 100000 of stock
am average of $40. 900, 900 per an
mum. In 1900 and 1901 it paid $4S,-
100000, and In the year following
$45,000,000. The dividends, how
ever, were much loss than the total
earnings. The original value of the
property has been increased greatly
by the investment of a large share
of the earnings for the extension of
it's business and the acquisition of
securities.
Although the Standard Oil COM
pany never issued an ann al report,
or made other terms regarding it's
business further than publication Of
it's dividend, investors never lacked
confidence in it's ability to pay divi-
dends, and the high ratio maintained
made the ,company's stock sell at
from four to- six times it's par value.
The highest price ever reached was
in 1901, when it was paying 4S per
cent per annum. The stock then sold

STATE WILL INVEST IN IDAHO

(Pocatello Tribune)

The state Of Idaho has adopted a
new policy in reference to the invest

of $250,000 worth Of these bonds was

cures $12,1 100 From Grain Men


Denver, Colo, Sept. 15.-Roy v
Smith. who gives his home as Brig.
ham, Utah, came here recently with
negotiable paper, apparently repre-
senting thousands. in his possession.
He posed as verdant youth, ignor-
ant of business methods and appealed
to the sympathy of the Denver grain
dealers whom he met in an endeavor
to sell his crop of oats. Now nine of
these grain dealers have asked the
police to find Smith and recover for
them $1,000.
Smith first brought himself to the
notice of Denver grain dealers late
in August by writing them from
Brigham City, Utah, on a letterhead
that indicated that he was a horse
trader He informed them that he
had oats from. $40 ceres to sell which
he thought would amount to between
1000 and 5000 sacks. He scrawled a
bitter complaint against Utah grain
dealers for their alleged "greed and
dishonesty"
Dealers Anxious for Grain
AS the Denver market was short
each Denver dealer agreed to buy
Smiths oats and shortly thereafter
eight of them received word that
Smith had shipped two carloads to
each. A few days ago Smith appear
ed in Denver and was grieved to learn
that the railroad companies had de-
layed his shipments. He told each
dealer he was short of money and
Dealers Anxious for Garin
was in haste to reach Wayne, ILL.,, to
invest the proceeds of his oats in
horses. Through pity for the mex
perienced "rube" the dealer agreed to
pay him $500 on the bill of lading
and identify him at the bank. After
visiting eight Denver firms, one of
which paid his $1,000, Smith disap-
peared with $4,000 in cash.

WRONG GAME ALLOWED

One game was permitted to oper-
ate on the street last week that
should have been shut out. It was
a man selling throws of eggs at
a human ia in the center of vert
ical canvas.
Besides being a nasty job and
splattering broken eggs occasionally
on peoples horses and buggies that
were tied near the canvas, it was
only cultivating the brutal part Of
the natures of those that engaged In
the game of throwing eggs at the.
mans face.

future such things be shut out

eastern bond buyers who are anxious
to purchase them, and to loan the
money out on improved farms at
| per cent. This will enable us to turn
100000 into the channels OF bust
ness in the state of Idaho. Under
the present ,stringency in the money
market, this of itself will stimulate
business conditions, but this is not
the only advantage. 1t will give the
farmers $2,O00,000 worth of six per
cent money where they are now pay
ing nine and ten, and make saving
of 100000 annually to the citizens
of the state, while the state itself
will have a six per cent instead of a
five per cent investment. While the
action of the land board calls for the
sale of only $25O,0OO worth of these
bonds at the present time, l am in
favor of the sale of the entire hold
ings of the state, just as fast as the
money can be reinvested in farm
loans.
1T is proposed to invest this
money in new loans as far as posi-
BILE, so as to keep it in the channels
of business in the state, rather than
to take up loans already in force with
eastern mortgage companies. The
latter would mean only saving Of
three per cent interest, while the
money secured on first loans will re-
main and circulate in the state.
ANY business depression felt in
Idaho is e to influences without
and not within the state. Idaho has
bumper crops and prices are good.
There has been little diminution in
the big pay rolls in the lumber camps
and in the mines. But there is no
denying the fact that m ney matters
are depressed. A state like Idaho,
with it's rich, undeveloped resources,
needs outside capital all the time,
and it is most lucky stroke of for
tune that the state has a couple of
million dollars worth of securities
that can be cashed i'm at such an
opportune time and the proceeds put
into circulation"

Patterson creek for handling the
large deposits of tungsten ore was
started up week ago last Thursday
and has been running steadily ever
since. At present there are eleven
men employed at the mines and mill
and the force is being enlarged as
fast as possible. This deposit of
tungsten is said to be one Of the
largest extant, and as the ore is rich
in this rare metal, the mill Is looked
upon as a big paying proposition.

Contractors Figure the Grade
Estimates

ESt1maeeS
President Fitzgerald returned
from Chicago Monday where be
had been called at the instance of
the contractors who are preparing
their bids for the construction work
the Dodge City-CoImer cutoff.
The contractors, or at least some
of them, had been led to believe
that the road ran through desert
county and that they would have
to sink wells to water their stock
and have to haul feed for long
distances.
The company asked Mr.. Fitz-
gerald to come in and tell the bid
ders just what the conditions real
ly were.
Mr.. Fitzgerald has been over
the line so many times in recent
months that he could give them
ample assurance of the water sup
ply and of the quantities of feed
that were within sight of the rail
road grade. "How about water,
hay, feedG" was the question he
answered a number of times.
And the contractors are working
out their problems as rapidly as
possible as they find the company
is anxious to begin work just as
quickly as they can get in their
bids.
