Merchant Lost 81, 900

Up In Salina politician business
man got sore on the Salina Journal
aud left his advertisement out for
some time. He was one OF those kind
Of fellows who foolishly regarded his
business as secondary Importance. He
imagined he was spiting the editor
a little. Recently this business man
stood up In a meeting of merchants In
Salina and confessed that he had lost
at least 81 900 In profits in his adver.
tisement. Some Of the other business
men joshed their associate somewhat,
and it Is pretty safe to say that he
would not repeat the performance.
Every time he left his ad out some
competitor increased his sales. All
the newspaper lost was few dollars
profit left after they would pay print
ers for setting the ads and paying for
the white paper on which to print 1t.
But the merchants loss was steadily
day after day-by leaving his ad out
of its accustomed position.-Manhat.

"Free" Seeds

A farce OF these latter, days Is the
wide distribution OF "free" seeds
by the United States government
through the department Of agricul.
ture. Just why they are referred to
as "free" seeds Is not quite clear, as
they are paid for by the people, and
incidentally it is an extravagant
waste OF their money. Such being
the case would it not be more sensible
and satisfactory for those desiring
seeds to go to their local merchants,
get Just what they need when they
need it, and pay for II? II this were

or self.confessed failures, this bounty
might in some way be justified, or

Thinking of Others

THAT J. R. Crenshaw, the Pueblo
boy who was killed in recent forest
fires In northern Michigan and south.
ern Canada, died In an effort to save
the life of a woman, was the declara-
tion of Ed Hardie Of Porcupine, Can.,
yesterday. Hardie is one Of the three
survivors In the mine disaster at South
PorcupIne, Can, in which ITO lives
were lost. He accompanied the body
OF Young Crenshaw to Pueblo and de.
scribed the manner of Crenshaw's
death late yesterday afternoon at the
home of Crenshaw's parents, 7ls East
Sixth street.
Twenty five women had been driven
into the 125-foot shaft Of the West
company's gold mine near Porcupine,
in an effort to escape the forest fires
which were sweeping with irresistible
fury toward the mining camp, reduc.
ing everything In their path to heapso
smouldering ashes. While the flames
we're raging over the mouth of the
shaft, four women made their way
nearly to the top of the shaft in a
frantic effort to save themselves from
a death by suffocation.
"Shorty" Crenshaw, as he was called
by his companions, was assisting Mrs.
Frank Burt to the top Of the shaft
when the engine houses and the heavy
superstructure OF the mine fell with
heavy crash across the mouth Of the
shaft, penning In every one Of the
helpless men and women who had fled
to safety in the shaft. Weakened by
the lack Of air, men and women
dropped one by one into a pool Of wa
ter, eleven feet deep, in the sump at
the bottom Of the shaft where they
were drowned like rats.
The bodies, when recovered, we're
buried as quickly as possible In long
trench which was dug for that pur-
pose. Government orders came quick
ly, however, commanding the removal
Of the bodies to Dead Mans Point,
eight miles away. Over 100 bodies
we're dug up 10 advanced stages OF de.
composition and carried over eight
miles OF corduroy road TO second bur-
ial. From there the body of Young
Crenshaw was disinterred for the Sec
ond time and removed to his home In
Pueblo.

TUBERCULOSIS FIGHT

That the organized forces engaged
in warning on tuberculosis are max
ing progress is evidenced by the
steady demands for literature from
all parts of the state. Miss Beth

the Washington Association, has
prepared several leaflets that are be-
ing widely circulated. All repul-
sive matter, with which literature
of this sort is generally burdened,
has been eliminated. One of them
designed for school children is par
ticularly notable because of the in

ALASKA COAL

Gloom has settled over Alaskans
as a result of the information from
Washington that the appeal in the
coal land cases will not be heard by
the Supreme Court before October,
and that the new Secretary of the
Interior does not plan to exhibit
any haste in permitting the undis-
puted coal land claims to 60 to pat
ent. Whichever way the Supreme
Court decides the case a lower court
will be over ruled, and the prospects
are that years Of litigation are yet in
sight. Meanwhile, Alaska is buy
ing coal in British Columbia to carry
on its life. But the opening of the
copper mines is proving a certain
solace, and the government does
not seem disposed to put corks in
oil wells at Katalla, 80 Alaska can
ship at least two minerals, gold and
copper, and run her locomotives
with liquid fuel.

INSURED INSURANCE

The Washington legislature built
well, at last session, when it granted
the insurance commissioner a suf-
ficient appropriation to enable him
to protect policy holders against
unlicensed agents and the practice
OF policy twisting. Judging from
the steps already taken along this
line. Commissioner Shively intends
to make his Office helpful in safe
guarding the interests of the insur-
ing public. In an open letter he
invites prospective insurers to write
to his office when in doubt. When
dealing with strange agents, he
suggests they always be requested to
show their licenses.

COOPERATION

The Presidents wisdom in work
ing for reciprocity with Canada
measure so long desired and so often
thvarted-has been eqnaled by the
wisdom of the Democratic House
in cooperating with the President.
The kind of partnership which con-
sists in opposing everything the
other party does. is out of date.
There will always be plenty of real
issues, growing out of genuine diff
ferences of opinion. 1t is the duty
of legislatures and administrations,
even when wearing different labels,
to work together for objects in which
both believe. We regret that some
Republic Insurgents fall into the
natural error of opposing recipro-
city. They should look after the
farmers interest, not by injuring
others in his behalf, but, after TAX
ing this first practical step, by in
sisting upon the full logical conse-
quences. and in the correction of
other schedules greatly reducing the
farmers cost of living. When the
Administration has begun its tariff
reform at the farmers cost, for the
benefit of our manufacturers, it will
not have the daring to refuse the
reductions which are for the far
mer's benefit; and great would be
the public cutlery if Republican
Senate, after passing the reciprocity
bill, should kill the bills reducing
the cost of manufactured articles.
The country would not stand for
such trick upon the farmer. The
Insurgents make disastrous error
in so far as they give an impression
of either insincerity or cowardice in
this critical situation. With reci-
procity accomplished the opponents
of special privilege can face the con-
test for further revision with a /
united and intense public in their

All banks must be assessed on the
market value or actual value of the
stock instead of on the book value,
as the state tax commissioner has
directed the assessor of Spokane
county and will probably give the
same instructions to all other asses
sors to so assess banks. It is claimed
that the present system is bad as a
small portion of the stock will often
sell in open market for more than
the entire book value, and tax COM

1t is held in an opinion given to
the state labor commissioner by the
attorney generals office that the
eight hour law applies to manual
labor and not to mental effort. The
law applies to man who works
with his muscles but no time limit
Is set upon mental endeavor. It is
said that the law does not apply to
bookkeepers, stenographers or to
guards, nurses, attendants or watch
men at the state institutions, but it
is pointed out that it is practically
impossible to draw the line in some
instances.

DENVER'S FREE TREES.

Denver believes in trees and be-
lieves in them so strongly that the
city gives them to citizens willing to
plant them under certain liberal
regulations. Denver recently cele-
brated what has come to be known
there as Municipal Arbor day. 1t
was the sixth annual free distribu-
ton of trees by the city. Sixteen
thousand large saplings, costing the
city 30 cents each, were distributed
to 1000 citizens. OF the 16, 900 trees
half were naples and half elms.
Denver Municipal Facts, a small
illustrated newspaper published by
the city in the interest Of civic up
lift, makes the following observation
on the annual tree distribution:
The trees were given out free of
charge, the only condition required
of those who received them being
that they should be put in the
ground Immediately according to in
structions printed on the back of the
order cards, and that they should
see to it that they were properly
cultivated. The money to pay for
the trees, which cost the city 80
cents each, comes from the yearly
revenue received from the tramway
franchise. Later in the season it
will be the duty of the city forester
to make tour of the city and as
certain as near as possible if all the
trees were planted and are being we'll
taken care of. This was done last
year and it was found that there had
been practically no waste, and that
IS per cent of the saplings were
growing nicely. OF the first years
distribution only 20 per cent sur
vived. Since then, however, the
people have become better educated
to tree culture, and the city forester
estimates that over 80 per cent of
this years crop will thrive and be
producing shade within two or three
years"
Denver was a pioneer in the free
distribution of.trees. Many citizens
have followed the example, and it
is plausible that the practice may
becomegeneral amongcities, especial
the younger cities, which want to add |
to their attractiveness.
Everywhere the fact is now reeog-
nized by the city's trees along its
streets and the parks are among the
more valuable of municipal treasures
and the wholesome public wrath
aroused by threats to destroy any of
the fine trees of Washington, the
forest city. is founded on a sound |
economic basis, as well as upon a
noble and inspiring sentiment.

on his part to aid him in establishing an
alibi after Cuoccolo had been killed.

house disguised as coal HEAVIER, and,

Later he came to me clean shaven and
explained his former disguise by saying
that he was at Castellamare Adriatico

Angels said that he feared arrest and

which apparently had been caused by

convinced me that he was one OF the

The prisoners still continue 10 think
that their position Is favorable. for tho
reason that up to the present no direct
