the nomination for Governor at the Re

Silly pranks to which the day is supposed
to give license are becoming fewer and

who have served their country faith
fully is apparent to all. Roosevelt has

approval of the secretary of war.

An unusual phase ol controversy be
twean mining and agricultural inleraste
lias occurred recently at Redding, Cal.
The owners of an almond orchaid laid
an Injunction against the Mountain
Copper Co. of Keswick, restraining it
from the present method of treating
ores. The Mountain Copper Co. Is one
of the biggest mining concerns on the
cosst, paying out $1,000,000 annually in
wages and for supplies. Tha sulphur
fumes from the smelter are sitrsmely
destructive to vegetable life and for
miles around Keswick, tha smaller tree
growths are dead. Orchards are of
couiae, heavy sufferers and the large
Interests involved make the matter one
of gravity.
In the coming campaign and alsction,
the CuI'hikr will be independent, as It
has bean heretofore. Our editorial
support will be given, irrespective ol
party, te those candidates whom ws
think will best fill the olllces for which
they are nominated. While our editorial
column will be reserved fur the support
of the candidates of our usiwclsl choice,
other columns will be open for such
articles as candidatea may wish pub
lished, and these will a charged for at
regular advertising rates. This is a
purely business proposition and we
know of no reason wby a candidate
should not declare biuieelt to the public
through the medium ol the press, as
well as from the stump. Thess articUs
must approach a certain standard ol
fairness, moderation and courtesy. Mud
slinging or vituperative communications
are not wanted. Fairness demands that
any candidate should hsve an oppor
tunity of presenting lilmiall to tha
voters and we think the ariangement
e have announced will prove a satisfac
tory one.

Extraordinary mining1 operations
are being couducttd at the old mint
by Dr. David K. Tut lie, head of the de

a dozen of his most extwrt men. The
prospecting is on the floors, the ceil

of boxes, on old, dusty shelves and
finally in chimneys, whers soot and
dust have accumulated for more than
half a century, says a Philadelphia ex
change.
Soot out of a flue leading from otic
of the furnaces eon tallied two and one
half per cent, of gold and silver. That
percentage indicates that in a ton of
soot and dust theie would be found
M) pounds of precious metals, worth
between IKOIIO nnd $10.1100.
The value of the swt rplng-s on the
floor of the melting room has been fre
queiitly referred to, but Dr. Tut tie's
milters do not stop at that. Now they
are prospecting the brooms which do

Many people think of the camel as
practically a -tropical ai imal, perhaps j
perhaps because some of its most I
nr. king characteristics ht il for cross-
in the Di s. rt of .Sahara. Its large I
.rage of water uiu tne minuwc i
soles of its te. t naturally suggest a
life near the equator. Kven the do-
slicated camels of Asia, whether or
ihe I'ersiaii-Arabian-Africau species,
which hae but one hump, or those of
Hadrian origin, which are endowed
with two, perform most of their serv
ice in what is. after all, a preity noi
climate, says the New York Tribune.
However, iu a recent number of
"Globus" Dr. Nihring, of Her. in, lays
stress on the fact that the liactriau
ctfmel is sometimes found in Siberia,
and can endure the greatest known
extremes of cold ns well us those of
heat, if the air is only dry. In the re
gion west of Bake Baikal the average
winter tempt ratures are considerably
lower than zero, and are often i0 and
60 degrees below that point. The hab
itat of the camel here overtops that
of the reindeer! Yet in the Gobi dea-
ert iu Turkestan, animals of the same
species have occasion to trot over
earth whose temperature a times
rises to 130 and HO degrees Fahren
heit! There has been much speculation
concerning the origin of the old world

which giics its name to the two

of Afghanistan. And inasmuch as
fossil n mains of the fami'y haie been

Siwalik hills, in northern Ilindi.stan.it
has bem supposed that this was the

Only at a comparatively recent date
was a satisfactory clew found to the
Hadrian camel's ancestry. Hut fos
sils fcoin lioutnnnia, near the Danube,
and from the vicinity of Hurepta, on
the Volfca. now indicate pretty cleorly
that the modern two-humped camel
originated . illKr in eastern Kurope or

It has the widest spread of balls and the narrowest tread,
will climb a sleeker and longer hill and run easier than
any other bicycle on the market. The sprockets are large
and cut with f! iii;;t-i on either side to prevent the chain
from jumpitii; and is between the bearings. The bearings
ate directly under the ciaulcs, which reduces the friction
