AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER
With fully a score of new
Mining concerns in the field
prepared to undertake devel
opment work on a more or less
extensive scale, with practic
ally all of the older compan
ies preparing to increase their
former activities, and with sev
eral of the prominent proper
ties preparing to join the Pre
mier and Porter Idaho as pro
ducing mines, the outlook for
the prssent as well as the fut
ure of the Portland Canal dis
trict could hardly be more en
courat'.nj. The amount of
money to be spent on develop
ment work during the present
season far exceeds all previ
ous years, while the pay roll
on both sides of the boundary
l .ne \v’ 11 be the largest in the
camp’s history. Furthermore
scarcely a week passes but
bring; news of the formation
of new mining organizations,
thus disclosing that capital is
no longer inattentive to the
great mineral producing po
tentialities of the district. And
this is perhaps the most en
couraging sign of all, for we
who know the district, know
also that with ample capital
available there will be more
mines and more production
and bigger payrolls in the fut
ure. All signs betoken that
the long fight for recognition
as one of the world’s greatest
mineral fields is won and that
the day is not far away when
those whose faith and time
has been devoted to the
camp’s upbuilding will receive
a due reward.

A few newspapers will “fall
for” such fads as “no crime
news in our columns” but the
JT'eat majority of them will
continue to discharge the
functions for which they were
created, and that is to publisn
the news, leaving to other
agencies the removal of tempt
ation and the reformation of
the world.

We. are not disposed to doubt
the accuracy of the statement
that a person is in greatei
danger crossing a street in the
conge'ded section of an Amer
ican city than he is in sitting
in a railway passenger train
speeding across the country at •
60 miles an hour. A street j
crossing in a big American !
city is a mighty dangerous ■
place, as t’he record of cross
ing accidents! goes to prove.
One must be both nimble-wit
ted and nimble-footed in order
to be safe when negotiating
i one of these crossings.

Somebody ought to under-1
take an investigation for the j
purpose of finding out what i
happens to conversation about j
the weather in climates where
all the day* are pretty much
alike.

DO YOU KNOW
That 21,000,000 letters wem,
to the Dead Letter Office last
year?
That 803,000 parcels did
; likewise?
That 100,000 letters go into
the mail yearly in perfectly j
blank envelopes?
That $55,000 in cash is re
moved annually from misdi-j
rected mail? I
That $12,000 in postage
stamps is found in similar
fashion?
That $3,000,000 in checks,!
drafts, and money orders nev- j
er reach intended owners?
That Uncle Sam collects
$92,000 a year in postage for
the return of mail sent to the
Dead Letter Office?
That it costs Uncle Sam
$1*740,000 yearly to look up
addresses on misdirected mail ?
That 200,000,000 letters are
given ,this service yearly, and
J That it costs in one city alone
j $500 daily?
And Do You Know
That this vast sum could be
saved and the Dead Letter
Office abolished if each piece
of mail carried a return ad
dress, and if each parcel were
wrapped in stout paper and
tied with strong cord?
Moral :Every man knows his
own address if not that of his

In a recent bulletin, the Bur

that the inefficiency of such
extractive industries as coal
mining and agriculture has
caused much suffering thru
