COD oUTPur DECLINES

Notable decline in gold production
in the state of Idaho in 1919, com
pared with 1918 and previous years
rs revealed i'm the annual report OF
Robert y. Bell, state mine inspector
must, of course, be attributed tC
lack of interest in gold mining.
But why this lack of interest in gold
mining Why are the hills no longer
filed with pospectors, digging for
the precious yellow metal? Simply
because the yellow metal is not worth
as much as in the yesterdays. Yet,
dollars worth of gold is a dollar S
worth of gold, today as it was five
or ten years ago. Since such is true,
such is the misfortune of the miner.
A dollar s worth of gold today is
precisely the same weight in gold as
before, yet dollar s worth of gold
will not now purchase the same
amount of commodities purchasable
with the dollar of gold in days be-
fore the war. That is one of the rea-
sons for decline of gold mining. The
purchasing power of the dollar has
rapidly declined, and continues to de-
cline.
And, at the present time, when the
value of a dollar 8 worth of gold
is slight, costs of materials consumed
in gold mining are high. That is, where
perhaps, Is cents worth of materials
and labor formerly were required to
produce a dollar s worth of gold,
the same supplies and labor today
would cost, say $3.50, in order to take
a dollar in gold from the ground, and
that dollar in gold, is of far less pur
chasing power than the dollar of
few years ago, produced at half the
cost
Therefore, is it any wonder that gold /
mining has decreased that few pros
pectors are in the hills, and no big
concerns are extending their mining
operations? Is it strange that the
who loves his pick and |
shovel more than anything else in
5he world, is, from purely economic
grounds, obliged to forsake his claim
ior another occupation?
Mining men argue the necessity for
government bonus ON new gold pro
luction, in order to insure an ample
,old supply for trade purposes. Are
hey far from wrong!

world, our industries will be slight
compared with possibilities, and our
population will be merger.
Plans, as laid before the L. s inter
state commerce commission by the Ida
no public utilities commission, indicate
that the railroad would be built from
Fem to Salmon river, and thence to
New Meadows. Whether the road would
be built from Fem, or from Grange
vile, the present terminal of the Ca
mas Prairie line, is a matter of de-
tail, to be settled in case the inter
state commerce commission follows the
request of the Idaho board, files suit
to compel railroad construction in
Idaho county, and wins the suit. 1t is
a question for later day The matter
now is whether action against the rail
roads named, the 0. W. r. & n, North
ern Pacific, and Camas Prairie rail
road, will be instituted by the inter
state commerce commission at Wash
ington.
If the road actually is built, it would
no doubt mean railroad division point
and a shop town ON Camas Prairie
with the resultant payroll and expendi-
lures.

Father and Daughter
 Get Relief by Eatoniis

R. J. Powell, Sweetwater, Texas says, "Eatonic helped me at once but 1t was my daughter who got the marvellous benefits. She could not even take a drink of water without awful misery, but it relieved her; she is feeling much better. All this from one box, so send me four more at once"
 Hundreds of people now take eatonic; one or two tablets after each meal keeps them in good health, feeling fine, full of pep. Eatonic simply takes up the excess acidity and poisons and carries them right out of the system. Of course, when the cause of the misery is removed, the sufferer cannot help but get well.
 You will find it quick, sure relief for heartburn. indigestion, sour. acid, gassy, blOated stomach. It costs but a trifie and your druggist will supply you. If you don't feel well, you gIv eatonic a test. Adv.

WOMEN NEED SWAMP ROOT

Thousands of women have kidney and bladder trouble and never suspect it.
 Womens complaints often prove to be nothing else but kidney trouble or the result of kidney or bladder disease.
 If the kidneys are not in a healthy condition, they may cause the other or gans to become diseased.
 Pain in the back. headache, loss of am bition, nervousness, are often times symp toms of kidney trouble.
 Don't delay starting treatment. Dr. kilmers Swamp-Root, physicians pre- scription, obtained at any drug store. may be just the remedy needed to overcome such conditions.
 Get medium or large size bottle im- mediately from any drug store.
 However, if you wish first to test this great preparation send ten cents to Dr. kilmer & Co.,, Binghamton. N. Y., for a sample bottle. When writing be sure and mention this paper.-Adv.

stanton and Miss Anthony laalers and headGuarters in New York; American Woman Suffrage association, with Mary A. Livermore, Julia Ward Howe and Lucy Stone leaders and headquar- ters in Boston. The line or division was this: The former wished to concentrate on the passage of con stitutional amendment; the latter was in favor of obtaining the suf- frage through amendments to state constitutions. In 1890 the two organ izations were united under the name of National American Woman Suf- fage Association, and work was pushed along both lines of endeayor. Mrs. Stanton was president until 1892. Miss Anthony served until 1900, signing at the age of eighty. Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt was its head, 190O-19O4 Dr. Anna Howard Shaw. recently deceased and possibly best lcgetl of all the leaders-a wom- an of transcendent gifts and elo- quence--was president until 1915. Mrs. Catt was then again chosen. Mrs. Franl, Leslie left a large legacy to Mrs. Cat t0 be used ill the work.
 The National association made ar engagements at the St. Louis conven- ton of 1919 to dissolve It's organiza- ton and become the League of Wom- en Voters. These arrangements be- came effective at the Chicago conven- toln in February last So the League of Women Voters now holds sway over something like 27,000,o00 po- teutial American women voters. Mrs. Catt wlo is also the head of the International Woman Suffrage aiil- auce. which she founded in 1904, is honorary chairman; Mrs. Maud Wood Tark Is chairman; Mrs. Richard Ed wards of Indiana, treasurer, Mrs. eeloa Jacoos of Alabama, secretary. and there is q beard of regional e. rectors.

From 1869 to 1893 she was president of the National Woman Suffrage as addressed congressional committeeea on woman suffrage. She was the joint author of History of Woman Suf- frage" (1SS1-S) and Eighty Years or More t1895) is her autobiography.
 A third name is that of Susan B. Anthony US20-1906). She joined with Lucretia Mott and Elizabeth. Cady Stanton in organizing the woman suf- frage movement. She became in time the real leader of the movement; cer- tainly she was its first militant suf- fragist. Born in Adams, Mass. she came of Quaker stock and early devot- ed herself to temperance" (the pro- hibition of those days) and to the abo lition of slavery.
 In 1875 Miss Anthony drafted the amendment to the Constitution which has now been ratified. In 1878 the amendment was introduced in the sen ate by Senator Sargent of California. It was defeated in 1887 and thereaf- ter was not even debated in congress until 1914
 During the years the Constitutional amendment campaign was making no progress the women won many victo- ries in the states, securing full sui frage in 15; presidential suffrage in 12 and partial suffrage in several oth- CTS.
 National Woman Suffrage association in 1912 opened headquarters in Washington and be- gan an active campaign for the passage of the amendment. In 1916 it established branch headquarters there which were devoted entirely to the amendment campaign. 'Ehe cam paign was educational and social as well as political and attracted world wide attention.
 The National Woman's party, or sanized in 1910 by Alice Paul, estab- lished Washington headquarters in the campaign.
 Alice Paul-the third Quakeress to immortal.ze herself-iS the spectacu- lar figure of the struggle. She devel- oped the deadliest card index on mem bers of congress that practical politics has ever seen. She served notice through the White House pickets that the president was the "man higher up." The arrest of nearly 800 of these pick cts and the imposition of jaii sen tences followed. Incidentally Miss Paul herself served seven terms in jail.
 The amendment was beaten three times in the senate and once in the house before it was finally passed by the Sixty-sixth congress June 1. 1919, by the necessary two-thirds majority.
 The year 1869 saw the formation of two national organizations National Woman Suffrage association. with Mrs

 In a measure rails maintained their recent leadership, a number of high and low priced shares displaying un- usual activity.
 Reading, which featured the long account in yesterdays market. made a new high record for several years of 110A, but ended at net loss of 1h points, while Texas & Pacific re- covered only the smallest fraction of yesterdays severe loss.
 Steels and equipments were again influenced by backward trade con dition which also affected such stocks as General Electric, Westinghouse and Harvester. wherein recessions ran from 2 to points. while Sears Roe buck suffered a further loss of 3 points.
 Oils, shippings, motors and sugars embraced the other uncertain elements, notably Mexican and American petroleums. Atlantic Gulf. United Fruit, American International and American bee. sugar. together with leather, cop per and chemical issues. Sales were 500 900 shares.
 Call money moved from to 8 per cent and back to the lower rate, with time funds unchanged. Tn foreign ex- change the only noteworthy develop ment was the weakness of rates or China.
 Fractions were strongest features oi the bond market, the Liberty group easing. Total sales. par value, $14, 200. 900. Old United States bonds were unchanged on call.
