Both Fred Shireman, chief CLERK. and
Jud Carter, night clerk, at the Seel.

been proud Of the fact.
According to friend, it took a negro
bellboy at the hotel to take the conceit
out Of them few days ago. A travel

the hotel for some time, pulled up at
the desk the other day.

She had been seriously sick with
heart trouble for a week, and it was
this that brought death. She pass

artery leading to the brain brought
life to an end.
Her sister. Mrs. John Bixler. and
niece, Mrs. Otto Weber. were with
her during her last hours. With
them she talked and laughed, seem

TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION
GOOD FOR COUNCIL.

The Republican desires to highly
commend the city council for their
provision to attend the next meeting
OF the State Municipal League at
Charlottesville. If any or all of them
go, they will have the distinction of
being the first council of this city to
attend any of the meetings of this
League.
Mr.. Logan was present a time or
two when he was mayor, but the
members of the council never have
gone.
The decision of the council, max
nng provision for their going In case
any of them can do so, shows that
they have the right spirit of prog
ress and want to know the very lat
est and best methods which are be-
ing used in our cities today. AT this
convention they can learn more in a
shorter space of time than in any
other way.
All up-to-date business men at
tend conventions in their lines of
trade in order to learn the latest and
best methods and principles used by
the best and most successful men.
Why should not city councils do
the samef
Our council is simply carrying
modern business methods into their
city government, and our people
should appreciate their work at
its true and high value.
AS to che appropriation of funds
from the city to pay the expense
of this trip, that is a matter of
business justice. Those who 60 will
60 for the benefit of the city and
the city should pay the expense.
Ten dollars will not nearly pay the
cast of trip to a three days ses-
sion, but it will help.
We believe that this $40, if used
by the council, will be some of the
best spent money ever paid out.
The people should be glad to have
members on their council who are
so up-to-date, and have the interest
of the people so much at heart,
that they will take time from their
business to attend such a meeting.
The action of the council Mon
day night was the making of
a provision to attend, in case any
CT all of the members could go.
HIRES hoping that they all may be
able to attend, if for only one day.
After the above was written we
were astonished to read the "peanut
politics" stand taken by the Demo
erat, censuring the council for ap-
propriating city funds to pay the
cast of this trip.
1t seems strange indeed that when
the council is doing what every in
telligent citizen should be glad to
have them do, the Democrat should
50 belittle itself and the city as to
jump onto them in this ridiculous
manner. It's editor must have had
a bad case of the Crouch.

Much has been said about the i'm
mense tonnages of ore that are beirg
put through the low-grade copper cor
centrators of Garfield, Utah, and Ely,
Nevada, not to mention these in Ari-
iona, which promise to equal the older
plants in capacity. No such amounts
of ore have ever before been subjected
to treatment in daily run. 1t is in
teresting to note that in the sphere of
gold getting, the great dredging boats
of California are the only rivals of the
copper mills in the amount of material
handled, although the Homestake of
South Dakota and some of the mills of
South Africa are making large records:
The Homestake is capable of treating
more than 1900 tons day, but this is
we'll behind the expected record of the
latest large dredge installed in Califor-
MIA. Two or three weeks ago gold
boat was launched with an expected
capacity of 100000 yards monthly, or
about TO- 900 yards per day. A cubic
yard of placer gravel will materially
exceed ton in weight, so that the
magnitude of the work done by such a
dredge is readily apparent. The COM
parison with the mills, of course, ex-
tends no farther than the mere bulk OF
the material received and disposed Of:

The breeding places of flies, horse
manure and other filth, can be treated
with liberal supply of lime. which
will be effective in destroying the eggs
and maggots of this insect. This cuts
them off at the source. The adult flies
can be poisoned when they gain en-
trance into the house by using liquids
charged with formelin or arsenic, or
be trapped in screen cages. The tan
gle-foot fly paper is good when fresh,
but better still is small wire paddle
that can be used to strike the insects
while they are at rest. Any method
is good that accomplishes the work.
The main thing is to kill them and
safeguard the home against infections
carried by this dangerous pest.
