the 18th army at the front decided
that the car was not being guarded
with sufficient care in his palace.
They passed a resolution to that eff
feet and the resolution reached Min
lister of War Kerensky.
THE ex-czar is giving liquor to the
soldiers who are guarding him." was
one of the charges.
kerensky went to Tsarkoe Selo to
look into the matter. He found that,
according to a long established GUS
tom at the palace, the guards were be-
ing given a bottle of wine every day.
He laid the matter before the troops
guarding the palace.
Yes" they replied. I'VE receive a
bottle of wine every day from the
cars cellars. We are only following
an ancient custom-but if we are be-
ing criticized for it by the soldiers of
the 18th army, we will discontinue the
practice"
Wherefore, in solemn assembly. they
voted to abolish a pleasant and there
fore somewhat lingering custom Of
Tesarkoe Selo.
People in Russia vote at the drop
of the hat-on any subject.
The third impression l received as
an American, was a sense Of bewild-
erment at the problem of getting all
this voting translated into laws.
The voting is not vague and unsys-
tematic spontaneously a system has
grown up out of the old organizations.
whereby national organizations of all
sorts are developing.
A few washerwOmen, for instance,
OF a few farmers, in some extremely
remote district hold a meeting and
elect a delegate to a meeting of wash
erwomen or farmers in some nearby
town. This larger meeting, in turn,
elects a delegate to a convention in a
still larger center and finally. dele
gates are chosen to represent a still
larger district in the main organiza-
ton which is being formed here at
the capital. There is a bewildering
number of such organizations, with an
u"naccountable number of repetitions.
A man, for instance, may be a mem
Der of a soldiers organization; he may
also belong TO an organization of his
craft and, in addition, he may vote
in an organization of Ukranians, or
Let's, or Poles. There is no limit 10
the number of places in which he MAY
express his opinion and have his votes
counted.
How the new government, out of all
the mass of public opinion and there
has never been SO much public opin
ion anywhere in the world as there is
in Russia now-will be able to sift
the preponderating causes is a be-
wildering problem, but it is one that
the new government is determined to
solve.

men have had to figure pretty close 20
ever meet expenses.
Several new business enterprises
have made attempts to start but are
still waiting, a newspaper was a pos
sibility but it is probably fortunate
that it did not get stared. Mr.. Be-
mott opened a drug store early in the
winter and has managed to pull his
way through, although he has been
terribly short OF drugs. Mr.. Berry
came in with a small stock of goods
and has hopes he may get stocked up
after a while. Mr.. Hudson and Mr..
Mccormick are still doing business
at the same old stands and have done
their best to have a little something
to sell. Two new arrivals say they
have come to stay, Ernest Weyle of
Reno has opened a Photographic stu
do, and as he is an artist in his line
there is great opportunity for him
to prepare views of our magnificent
scenery for the crowds that will come

workers is fully evidenced by the
large number of little garden spots
which are already showing up green
spots and some of them already yield
ing some green stuff for the table, al
though our canyon climate and soil
is not very encouraging for early pro-
duction or for any production. Let
tuce and radishes are now being gath
cred; young onions are about ready;
pea vines are nearly ready to bloom
and strawberry plants are looking
fine.
Once more to return to the first sub
ject introduced, that of roads,. A new
road is an absolute essential to the
rapid growth if the camp, until the
new road is built the camp must drag
along. The road to the south is be-
ing opened and will help IL some for
the summer traffic, but the new rOad
is required for use mex winter if
we are to see the fruition Of our
expectations and the growth and de-
velopment which the ore reserves Of
our mines warrant. The traffic over
u old roads the past winter has
been about as near nothing as could
be well imagined, the camp has been
in short rations, the mines have been
without supplies, our workmen have
had to walk out of camp for lack of
work and lack of food, capitalists who
desired to come into camp to start
work have had to turn back and wait
for better transportation facilities as
they could not get in here without en-
during considerable hardshps and the
few who did brave the conditions and
come in here. have been unable to
start any work as there was no way
to get any supplies. The camp has
the developed mines ready to go 20
producing; also many prospects wait
ing to be developed, but adequate
transportation facilities are the first
consideration.
Considerable new building was
started last fall, but most of these
buildings are still unfinished for lack
of lumber. New enterprises were pro-
mulgated, but these are still waiting.
Transportation is now the crying
need of Jarbidge, IN interstate high
way, an all the year around road, a
road safe for fast auto travel, a road
built to stand heavy freighting, a road
free from snow drifts and washouts,
a road good for all kinds of traffic.
The camp has the mines and is as
sured the power, nov give it the road
and then watch J%arbidge grow and
ship the gold bullion.
The growth of the district during the
past eight months has been very little,
nothing to what it should have been
had there been adequate Transports
ton facilities. The ore reserves have
been slightly augmented, a little new
development has been accomplished. a
few new strikes have been made, but
nothing to what might have been ex-
pected from the surface indications.
The town of Jarbdge itself has been
going backward, the population de-
creasing. the number of workmen de-
plorably less, the stores running with
out stock, and the mines all the time
just on the point of closing down for
the lack of material and supplies. Sew
eral restaurants and boarding houses
have had to close, and the business

opened by three lady BARRIERS from
Portland, Oregon, who have fitted up
a snug little place with first class
appointments and running water from
a well and tank equipment, and in
connection are two bath houses with
sanitary plumbing. One of our old
timers has changed his stable over in
10 a garage and is ready to fix dis
abled cars, and it is very probable that
any cars that come over the present
roads will require his services before
leaving camp, that is allowing that
they succeed in getting into camp.
The town has purchased a chemical
fire engine as a %precaution, but we are
still waiting for our water system to
be installed; probably if we had to
go ten or twenty miles for water we
would have had a water system ~
long ago, but with water within half
a mile it is too close and Their there
is lots of it in the river and Bear
creek and in numerous springs and
wells.

Edwards Olive Tablets.

The secret of keeping young is to
feel young-to do this you must
watch your liver and bowels-there's
no need of having a sallow complex
ion-dark rings under your eyes
pimples-a bilious look in your face
dull eyes with no sparkle. Your
doctor will tell you ninety per cent
of all sickness comes from inactive
bowels and liver.
DR.. Edwards, a we'll known physi-
clan in Ohio, perfected a vegetable
compound mixed with olive oil to act
on the liver and bowels, which he
gave to his patients for years.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets, the SUBJ
stitute for calomel, are gentle in their
action, yet always effective. They
bring about that exuberance of spirit,
that natural buoyancy which should
be enjoyed by every one, by toning
up the liver and clearing the system
OF impurities.
