most cases of total ignorance as
to any such laws. 1t is found
that occasionally a girl will lose
her position as result of the
laws enforcement.
Three employers were in
duced to pay to Mrs. Head
lee the delinquent wage
claimed to be due the girls en-
ployed by them. lnasmuch as
the law does not authorize Mrs,
Headlee to collect this money,
the admission of guilt puts the
matter up to the prosecuting at
torney to prosecute on the ad-
mitted violations of state law.
Two proprietors of mercantile
houses refused to make payment,
and their cases will also be argued
in court.
AS a result of the investiga-
tions, several girls employed in
stores and offices will be dis
charged and boys employed in
stead. One professional man
stated that he will employ a boy
for Sc per week who will not only
attend to the office work but also
take care of his car and drive
him over the country any hour
of the night. The minimum
wage scale in offices is $40 per
week. 1t was discovered by Mrs.
Headlee that some girls were be-
ing paid Sc a week, and some
were getting less. In some of
the cases the girls expressed
themselves as entirely satisfied
with what they were getting.
Some of the men who were hiring
girls in offices at Sc state that
they can get all the men they
want to work at that price, who
will spend the day in the office
and devote time in the evening
at chore work.

When you open the door of
your store or home tomorrow
morning and have things started
for the day, forget for once that
you are merchant. step outside
of your store and look at the
surroundings you are working in
as if you were a man who want
ed to locate in that town. Then
approach your store and go
through it and see if the service
you are giving is the kind of
service that a good live stranger
would welcome enough to want to
live near you.
Look over the street your store
and home is on and see if it is
the kind Of a street that a
stranger would like to find him
self on every day and by night
and especially the town life dur
ing those many hours and see if
the spirit of your town express
sing itself in the towns doings,
is the kind of town spirit that
would make you want to live
there.

A ton of timothy hay removes
as much from the soil as do IL
tons of butter. While a ton of
hay sells for perhaps $40, the IL
tons of butter would bring from
$4,000 to $4,000. A ton of pork
valued at Sill removes fertility
worth S.. 70 to the soil, while the
ton of butter removes only TIC
worth of fertility from tn e
ground. The grain farmer takes

NOTES OF MINING

Alexander Sharp of Victoria,
B. c., where he is operating some
mining property, was here this
week looking over the First
Thought mine at Orient in con-
temptation of resuming opera
tions there, at least in a moder-
ate way. Mr.. Sharp states that
the First Thought is by no means
abandoned, and that if the pres
ent activity in mines continues
here he may return next spring
and renew development. He re-
turned to the coast Monday.
Bunkhouses and a boarding
house have been erected at the
Old Dominion, a gasoline blower
has been installed at the lower
tunnel, and the first car of ore
from the mine under present
management will be shipped this
week. About Is men are en-
ployed at the mine, and the tim
bering of the long tunnel is to be
pushed along as rapidly as con-
ditions will permit.
J. W. Douglas, who is associat-
ed with Volney D. Williamson in
the development of the May
flower group of mining claims at
Chewelah, which they recently
bonded Professionally for $40, 900,
was in Colville Monday and Tues
day arranging details with refer
ence to the titles to these proper
ties. 1t is reported that the
Mayfower shows 9 feet of ore
within so feet of surface which
assays $50 to the ton in gold and
silver values.
Conrad Wolfe, president of the
United Copper at Chewelah, has
denied that there is any basis to
the rumor that the Day interests
have optioned that mine, stating
that the mine is under option to
eastern capital having no con-
nection with the Day people
The stamp mill is running IA
batteries, and IS men are treat
ing 250 tons of ore daily at the
mill.
The Double Eagle properties of
4 claims and 200 acres, IL miles
west of Valley, are showing some
excellent samples of silver and
lead. M. Kulzer of Valley is
president of this company, and
the principal stockholders consist
of about a dozen men of Valley
and vicinity. Four men have
been working on the property
for year or more. The tunnel
is in 467 feet, heading toward
the slate contact at depth of
300 feet. The best values are
found in the slate contact, one
assay running $1,000 silver, and
another some 1919 lead. There
is a good road leading westward
to the railroad, and shipment is
expected to start by snow time.
The Old Dominion Silver-Lead
Mining company shipped a car of
ore to Tacoma this week. This
was the first shipment made
from this mine since reworking
of the property last spring.
James Stevens, who is working
over the old dump at the Old
Dominion, has shipped five cars
of ore.
Sig Dilsheimer, L. E. Jesseph
and Bliss Phillips, who purchased
the Cleveland mine some five
years ago at tax sale for SIS, have
bonded the property to Occur
d'Alene and Spokane parties for
SIG, 900 on a long time royalty
option. A 50.ton concentrator
will be installed. 1t is said there
is enough lead ore in sight to pay
for the mine.

May Arkwright Hutton, one of
the best known women in the
northwest, died at her home in
Spokane Wednesday as result
of Bright's disease. She was
born in Ohio 55 years ago, and
for nearly 40 years has been
identified with the Occur d. 'Alenes
and Spokane. She was an au-
thor, suffragist worker until
women were given a vote in this
state, a humanitarian with count
less deeds of charity to her cred
it, and an active worker in dem
ocratic politics. Her ability, her
wealth, and her desire to serve
humanity, have made for her
name which is worth while.

The state fair at North Yak
ina, it is announced, has proved
a financial success, the first time
in years the big 1915 meet has
shown a handsome cash balance
on hand, and while it may seem
presumptuous on the part of some
to mention it, yet it is said that
Governor Lister by his presence
and by enlisting his personal in
terest in the enterprise rendered
a great service to the manage
ment in bringing results. And
there was no partisanship about
it either.

S. W. Straus, president of the
American Society for Thrift, has
given the American people these
startling facts to think over:
According to government statis-'
tics, 98% of us live from day to
day on our wages. A loss of en-
ployment would mean pauperism
to all but 290 of US. Of 20, 250,-
900 families, less than 5000,
own their homes, II, 1000, 900 be-
ing renters. There are 878, 1885,
325 acres of farm land in the
United States, slightly over half
of which are improved. Discard
ed tin cans, kitchen utensils,
etc., gathered off dump heaps of
large cities in one year, produced
material valued at $14, 900, 900.
Out of every 100 who die, &C
leave no property; of the "a who
do, 9 leave more than $4,000
worth, 1.-THE balance less than
$1,000 each. At the age of sixty
five, 81 out of every 100 of us are
partly or wholly dependent upon
relatives or the public.

II had a count made not long
ago in the library of congress,
says Elihu Root, 'of the number
of laws that had been passed in
five years ending December l,
1913. I found that more than
$4,000 laws had been passed by
congress and the state legisla-
lures in this country in that five
years, and I found that there
had been reported during that
five years and published in $50
volumes of reports of the courts
more than $1,000 decisions of
courts of last resort in this coun-
try. Now, not even Mr.. Choate
knows all of them by heart.

ness and keep out of jail?"

The Darkness Before Dawn.

II Is prOverbial that "the darkest
hour precedes the dawn" w. +. Den
ming. the English authority on me-
teors, has recently called attention to
the literal accuracy Of this proverb, as
established by his own observations
on thousands Of nights. He says:
Before dawn greater darkness
seems to drop down like a mantle upon
the immediate surroundings. Objects
which were plainly observable during
the previous hours Of the night are
blotted out, and nervous feeling is
sometimes induced by the dense opac-
ity Of the air."
He claims to have noticed this
phenomenon when the subject was far
from his thoughts. so that 1t could not
have been purely subjective. He Is
unable to state the exact interval be-
fore sunrise when the remarkable dark
Doss comes on nor whether It is COM
