The Independent platform promises
to secure a reduction of light rates
through the utilities commission.
Since the local management of the
light company is understood to have
been largely instrumental in framing
the platform and nominating the
ticket, why wait for relief through the
utilities commission? Why not give
the people the reduction now?

NITRATE DEPOSITS.
Those of Chill Almost Supply the
Worlds Demand.


Engineering Magazine.)
The worlds supply of nitrate. for
use in the manufacture of fertilizers,
explosives and other chemical pro-
ducts, is now derived almost entirely
from the deposits of sodium nitrate in
northern Chilli. These deposits are
vast, as compared with any probable
future demand, and even the best eff
forts of close monopoly supervised
by the Gillian government have not
been able to do more than keep out
put of prices under some small de-
gree of control. In ordinary times
the CHILEAN deposits can swamp any
possible competitive supply. and in
the past this has operated to prevent
the development of smaller or less
well located deposits elsewhere.
The Gillian deposits have, how
ever, one marked defect which is
brought into prominence by the pres
ent European war; and which would
have come out in still more disas-
trous form in case Of war between
the United States and any power hav-
ing an active fleet in the Pacific
ocean. The defect is that distribu-
tion Of the output is entirely by sea,

UNFAIR COMPETITION.
mining Press)


We note the passage of a resolution
by the senate, at Sacramento, enacting
that the University of California shall
assay gratuitously all samples coming
from producing or undeveloped
mining claims. We hope that the COM
mittee on mines and mining will kill
this proposal. 1t is an unwarrantable
and unnecessary interference with ar
established business. The assayers in
the state do such work efficiently and
at a reasonable charge The mining
bureau makes qualitative determine
tions Of ores without fee, leaving it t.
the proper persons to make quaint
tative or commercial tests For the
university, we hope that It may not be
called to enter business outside Its
educational functions and compete
with its own graduates in the com
mercial field. The proposal is one thai
the mining profession will unite ir
condemning as an example of unpro-
voked paternalism not at all likely t.
advance the welfare Of the states min
ing industry.

FAVORABLE TIME FOR MINING
INVESTMENTS.

The outlook for continued good pri-
ces for lead, zinc and copper is very
favorable, thanks 10 the European war,
and az the Occur d'Alene district Is a
heavy producer of the first two and q
prospective producer of the last named,

even greater demand for our metals

and even when they have been restor-
ed to normal production 1t is prob
able that the extraordinary demand

be supplied from the United States,
Thus during the war and the period of
reconstruction when 1t ends a good
price may be reasonably expected for
lead, zinc and copper
There Is nothing in the industrial
situation throughout the country TO
encourage the belief that there will be
any immediate Improvement in the
domestic market for these metals out
side Of those manufacturing lines
which are working full time on foreign
orders due to the war. But in about
year and half from this time the do
nestle situation viii probably be very
much changed. Evidence Is not lack
ing that the people even now are grow
ing FESTIVE with watching and wait
ing for good times promised but when

that when the opportunity offers they
viii take action that will restore the
home market for their own produces.
This must be the ultimate reliance OF
the metal miners, who realize now
more than ever their dependence upon
the domestic demand. The war has
been their salvation, and after the war
the home market must be restored.
Other Industries have been less for
tunate than mining, and are therefore
even more determined to help restored
the home market for their products
The situation here outlined forolbly
suggests that this Is a most opportuae
time for Occur d'Alene mining invest
ments. We are assured of fair prices
for our metal products during the war
and until comparatively normal con-
ditions have been restored In Europe,

The fact is that the present city
council has exhausted every effort to
secure reasonable concessions from the
light company, and as a last resort has
appealed to the utilities commission.
If the present administration is sus-
tanned by the people there is no doubt
that there will be n readiustment Of
light rates through the utilities COM

Peter stopped and thoughtfully pulled
his whis sors. , not knSw nov n What

He looked and listened for some sign
of Jimmy, but not a sound could he
hear.
Then he remembered how he had

lucky again. I believe I'm the luckiest
of all the Little People. Some people
say that there Is luck in my hind foot"
Peter looked at his foot and chuckled.
Il wonder which one they think the
luck is in. For my part l guess it is
in both. Anyway if I am to find
Timmy's house I certainly shall need
both. so here goes"
Off he started again. lipperty-lip-
perty-lip. through the Green Forest,
without the remotest idea in the
world where he was going. He was
just trusting to luck, and luck, you
know, is a very poor thing to trust to.
1t proved so this time: for Peter went
ton to find Timmys house. And
even If he had gone in the right di-
rection he never would have found it.
No, sir, he never would have found it..
Why? Because the house of Jimmy
the Flying Squirrel was high up in a
certain old dead tree, and you know
Peter cannot climb trees. Besides,
there was nothing of Timmy's house
to be seen but little round doorway.
and that looked exactly like dozens Of
other little holes in the dead trees of
the Green Forest. There wasn't a
thing to show that any one lived there.
So all the night long happy-go-lucky
Peter Rabbit looked for the house of
Jimmy the Flying Squirrel and never
once thought how foolish he was. And
all the night long Jimmy the Flying
Squirrel hunted for fat beetles and
other things good to- eat, and made
wonderful jumps through the moon
light from tree to tree, and chuckled
as he thought of how funny Peter
Rabbit had looked when he had fool
ishly tried to jump like him. When the
light Of Mistress Moon began to grow
dim and the little stars winked out
one by one Peter headed for his home
in the dear Old Brier Patch. Just as he
started to leave the Green Forest a
thin. squeaky voice cried:
Come and see me again, Peter. I
will always be glad to see you.'
Peter looked up just in time to see
a little form sailing out from the top
of the tree above his head. Down,
down it sailed and far into the depths
of the Green Forest. It was Jimmy
the Flying Squirrel on his way home
to sleep all the long day.
