full unit in the summer prosperity of
Washington is seen in A recent interview
with a number Of prominent Washington
hotel managers printed IN a local news
paper. One hOnifaCe stated that his es-

parties during the month of June. and
ninety-siX during July. officials Of the
District Motor Club state that he may
look for just double that number in 1877,
provided good road out of Washington

North. and that good road through

DON 7 FORGET

CLOSE UP SHOP
THE MAYORS PROCLAMATION
SHOULD BE oeEYEOo SAYS BUS
MESS MAN - QUESTION is AN
IMPORTANT ONE.

| According to the mayors proclama-
tion, there is going to be a general
closing up OF all business houses and
offices in this city tomorrow morning
between the hours of 8 and II o'clock.
There is a great question up for de-
cision, and unless the business men
of the city to whom the question Is
most vital, take the proper interest
the business of the city IS bound to
suffer.
All the public spirited citizens are
behind the movement to secure a road
to the oil fields that can be travelled
at any season of the year and in all
kinds of weather There is but one
way to secure this and that is by CO.
operation. The mayor urges that his
proclamation be needed and that every
property owner and business man will
assemble at the place designated and
lend helping hand toward this move
ment.
If anyone doubts the necessity Of
a permanent hard-surface road to the
oil fields at the present time, all they
have to do is to take a trip from here
to Writ or to the roX field. The
weather has not been at its worst by
any means but there are places in
these roads that it is almost impos.
sible to negotiate at present, and will
be absolutely so when the winter
rains set in. \ few public spirited
men want to build this road but they
want the moral as Wen as the finan-
cial support of the citizens before they
begin operations.
The mayor states that the business
men may well afford to lose the two
hours from business on this occasion, |
as it will be repaid to them many |
times over when the road is built.

Locked-Up Potash.

About two miles northeast Of Su,
perior, Wyoming, are the Leucite hills,
which are made up largely of igneous
rocks in the form of volcanic necks,
sheets intruded into the stratified
rocks, and dikes cutting across the
sedimentary strata. Associated with
these intrusive rocks are volcanic cones
and lava flows. These rocks have long
been objects Of scientific interest be-
cause of their unusual character. Late
ly they have attracted additional inter
est by reason Of the potash-rich min,
eral, leucite, they contain, which may
some day be utilized If process ca:
be found for extracting the potash
cheapy. 1t has been estimated that
the igneOus rock Of the Leucite hills
contains more than 197,O000OO tons OF

Uses OF Fcldspar.

The feldspar quarries in the United
States, with the exception Of those in
California, are restricted to nine OF
the eastern seaboard states. Most of
the feldspar mined in the eastern
states is of the potash or the soda va
riety or a mixture of the two. and
these varieties are used in the pottery
industry because after being melted
and cooled they form glass. Field.
spar of the lower grade is used as a
binder in making emery and corundum
wheels, in manufacturing opalescent
glass, as poultry grit as n constitu
ent Of roofing material, and for sur
facing concrete work. Small quaint.

feldspar are used in the manufacture

killed or subdued, there is no property,
and domestic animals, In which the

A normal child provides his own

that children-modern children-are
hard to please, that more and more
are they coming TO depend upon an
expenditure Of money. When children
repudiate the fascinating paper dolls
provided by the newspapers, dolls and
