IT'S A SHAME Isn't it a shame that in Silver City, which, while not exactly town of metropolitan tions, yet has quite a number of people within her borders, it should be possible that not religious service of any kind should be Held within a space of five months?

Wel^ we don't expect a resident in paâtor, Episcopalian, Catholic, Hard Shell Baptist or .anything else, but we do think the outside world is treating us rather shab bily. So far as the Catholics cerned, and there are a lot of them in Silver, they are supposed to be under the protecting wing of the Catholic organization at Nampa. Glorieux knows that the Nampa priests are treating us so shab bily? The writer is not a Catholic and never will be, but we are in formed that local members of that church stand ready to the expenses of a visiting ecclesi astic at all times. arecon Wonder if Bishop of A for In pay Probably the excuse will be made that the roads are bad and that it is a hard trip over here in winter.

PUB LIC HEALTH A New York dealer in drugs recently prosecuted for counterfeiting the trade-Mark for Carters Little Liver Pills and for was selling goods bearing this count erfeit mark. He was found guil ty and, although it was his first offense, the court refused to im pose a fine, but sentenced him to four months' imprisonment in the penitentiary at hard labor without the possibility of mutation for good behavior. Counterfeiting, of course, is a serious crime and as such should be punished. Nevertheless, there are more serious crimes, such, for instance, as adulterating food stuffs, selling putrid material for good or -dispensing dangerous habit-forming drugs, like in the shape of soft drinks. All these crimes are crimes against the person—against the public health—against, the very lives of the people. Although thegovern ment officiais have brought evi dence sufficient to convict com a cocain over 1,200 firms or individuals of vio lating the federal Food and Drug Act, and although this act pro vides that its violation may be punished by imprisonment, yet in not a single instance has the court imposed any sentence more severe than a fine, the majority of the fines have been trivial to a degree, ton (Ohio) concern was con vie ted a And A Can of selling a soft drink containing cocain. The court considered a $25 fine sufficient pumishmeut. A St. Louis house sold a powder for infants that was said to make "teething" easy; it contained opium. A $10 fine wassufficient punishmedt. An "agreeableand efficient tonic" was found to con tain cocain, although the pres ence of this drug was not stated. In this case the court suspended sentence! Some day, says The Journal of the American Medical De A. Association, a court may be found that will consider the crimes of making drug fiends of young people, of poisoning bab ies with opium mixtures or of killing women with headache powders as more serious offenses than the counterfeiting of the label of a fraudulent medicine."

Government to Help Keep Up Roads If the bill now before the House es, the government will spend twelve millions a year towards good roads. The House Committee on Agriculture is considering a good roads bill, which embodies the viiws of twenty-eight members of the House who are the authors' of individual good roads mea sures. pass The composite bill embraces a plan for eulisting the aid of the Federal Gov ernment in the improvement of the highways of the country. The measure divides the roads of the country into three classes, ranging from high grade macadamized to dirt high ways, and the Federal Government is required to pay an annual toll for the use of these roads for ruaal mail pur poses. The toll is $30 per mile per an num for Class A, $20 for Claes B and $10 forClassC. In this way it is estimated the Government will contribute $12,000, 000 annually to good roads in the vari ous States. Dictograph Reveals Crime The dictograph, the sensitive instru ment which has lent itself so marvel ously to the purpose of securing evi dence of crime, is described in an illus trated article in Popular Mechanics. The instrument comprises a most tive transmitter battery and as much wire sary. The entire outfit can be held in one hand and not cover all the fingers. Tiie transmitter can be placed any where in the loom where the person wnose evidence is desired will be most likely to.talk. In the Ohio bribery cases it was put under a sofa in a hotel room. Francisco it Vas placed beneath the bed in a cell of the city jail. Canaria, where it was used iji a hotel, it was placed on a table under papers. It might be hung an the wall beneatl picture or a calendar, an ordinary pin being strong enough to hold it in place. Silk-covered wire can be run from the transmitter to whatever room the erator desires, and when connected, the person hotting the receiver to his ear hears distinctly every wind uttered in the room where the transmitter lias been placed Stenographers if so equip ped, can make a verbatim report of such conversations, as lias been doue in several criminal cases. se n Bi receiver, a email as is neces In San At Toronto, I a op SL50 Coal Carries $2 in Gold An interesting feature about the coal rained at Cambria, Wyo., is that it is claimed to be gold-bearing. Some of the coal has contained as much as $2 per ton in gold, and the coal was sold for only $1.60 per ton. When coke made at Cambria was selling for $3.60 per ton samples were taken from 31 cars during a period of three weeks and assayed. The samples showed an average of $2.46 per ton in gold and $0.28 in Silver. The explanation offered for the presence of gold in this coal is that the sands which submerged the old peat bog and form the roof of the coal bed were de rived in part from gold-bearing alluvium. While the sand was being deposited the gold worked down into the underlying hog and is now found in the coal. now Dissolution of Partuership Notice is hereby given that the part nership heretofore existing between Antone A.
