The Immense Quantity Made
in Kansas.

Million Dollars-Retaiiers' Stocks

Revenue Officers-RataiIers Pay
Special Tax.

WAsHINcroN, D. c., December 3a-Ths
commissioner of internal revenue has issued
= report showing the production of oleomar-
garine in the United States in the last two
years. The report shows that in Kansas
there is but one oleomarRarine factory, which
- located at Kansas City, Kan. Two years
ago there were two factories, but one has
since closed. In the year 1880, the Kansas
factories produced 2.423,5 pounds; in 1891
The production was 3,92S,3sS pounds, of
which 9,755 pounds remain in the factory
government collected q tax on every pound
manufactured, the tax collected this year be-
ing S,256.96 The report shows that there
are 1914 retail dealers in oleomargarlne in
Kansas, and these dealers paid licences
amounting 70 $2,822
The report shows that in the past year the
production of oleomargarine in the United
States was A, 392, 400 pounds, on which the
government collected 81, on 1924. The report
says:
During the year not only was the practice
continued by deputy collectors of canvassing
the districts with internal revenue micro
Scopes for the purpose of examining speci-
mems of products exposed for sale as butter,
with q view to ascertain whether the substan-
ces were really oleomarRarine, but an extern
sive special canvass of this nature was made,
induced by the belief of this Office that there
was more oleomargarlne on the market not
marked, branded and stamped, as required
by law, than had been previously supposed.
Although the extent of the work in certain
districte fell somewhat short of the expect
atoms of this Office, the result ON the whole
was rather satisfactory. The per cent of
products discovered not marked, branded
and stamped, as required by law, was about
eight in every thousand samples examined.
This being nearly double the per cent. of
last year is conirmatory of the belief above
alluded to and fairly illustrative of the i'm
proved efficiency in the field service of the
use of the microscope,

Gillian Affairs.


WASHINGTON, d. c., December 30-The
only sign of warlike preparations visible at
the executive department consisted of an or
der issued for the immediate preparation of
q new 12-inch gun just completed at the navy
together with 1900 pounds Of prismatic
powder and 11.0O0 6-inch shells. Senior
Mont, Gillian minister, called at the depart
ment of state at noon. He was Immediately
shown into Secretary Blaine's private Office
and had an interview with him lasting half
an hour.
Il was impossible to get more than hint
of what passed between the secretary and
Minister Mont during the interview, but it
is probably sufficient to warrant the suppose
flon that matters are not proceeding in a
manner as satisfactory to the government of
the United States as could be desired. Not
withstanding the fact that Secretary Blaine
is now dealing almost entirely with the Chill
jan minister instead of with his government
through the Intervention of Minister Egan,
tt does not appear that the result has been
saving of time, and there is reason to suspect
that the secretary is chatting at the delay he
encounters in securing final response to the
representations made by this government
cnncerning the attack upon the Baltimore's
men.
During the afternoon Representatives
Lodge and Boutelle called at the navy de-
partnent. They are both republican men,
bers of the house committee on naval affairs,
the chairman of which, Representative Her
bert, is absent from the city. Unless the
house of representatives recurs to the old
Randall rules, the naval committee will re-
tain in its charge all matters relating to the
appropriations for naval service, while in the
senate concurrent action of the committee
on appropriations and the committee on
naval affairs is usually necessary to secure
provision for any naval expenditures. Sec
rotary Tracy has been in communication
with members of each of these committees
during the day, but with what purpose is not
definitely known. An officer of the depart
ment, speaking of the consultations, said:
sit means just this, that we are abiding by
George Washington's maxim-in time of
peace prepare for war. We do not believe
there will be war, but if the administration
failed to exercise all its power in the matter
of preparation it would be open to severe
criticism if hostllities actually ensue."

Prospective Legislation.

WASHINGTON, D. c., December 3L-The
present congress will indulge in some re-
trenchment. The committee OH rules will
not likely interfere with the rivers and har-
bors committee, which heretofore has made
its own recommendation of appropriations
to the house. This Will insure equally as lib
eraI policy for the Missouri and Mississippi
rivers as the last house adopted. There will
likely be a big cut in Indian appropriations,
and there is talk of wiping out pension
agents and examining boards throughout the
country, amending the laws 80 that final
rating may be made by the pension bureau
from the records. Public buildings appro-
priations will also suffer some reduction,
from what can be learned at this time.

PETER on Perkins.

WASHINGTON, D. c., January 5.-Senator
PETER is pleased with the appointment of
Perkins. He said to reporter:
81 served in the same regiment from Iii
nois with Mr.. Perkins. We came to Kansas
in the same year and our relations have been
most pleasing. Mr.. Perkins views ON many
leading questions of the day, including trans-
portation and silver coinage, have been more
in line with mine than the views of any other
republican leader in Kansas whom can now
call to mind. His appointment is, therefore,.
very agreeable to me, and I have no doubt
we will get along all right together in the
senate"

CHURCHILL CORRESPONDENT JE.
White Cloud.
ctillwatnr Nnu nth .Q2.

~ ANONs AOhH1 49,
EDITOR DIsPAToH:-
Since writing you last l have visited
the White Cloud copper mining camp,
situated in the northeast part of this
county-30 miles from Saltwater and SO
miles from Lovelock. This properly
was formerly owned by Mr.. Lovelock,
who sold it through Mr.. Hitchcock, and
it is now being put in running order by
him and his able assistant, Mr.. Thornton.
They have built a road through almost
solid rock for a distance of four miles.
At the foot OF the grade, or mouth OF the
canyon, a townsite has been laid out,
and already many good buildings to ac-
commodate the immediate nee e%ssities,
have been built, while there are many
foundations OF rock being pnt up
which signifies they have come to stay.
Their pay roll has averaged over forty
since they CON- enced; while at this
time they do not employ 50 many day
laborers as 1T the commencement, on
account OF certain classes Of work being
finished, yet their mechanical labor has
increased, a. they are now putting up
their smelters, and will soon be putting
up a tramway of about three-fourths of a
mile in length, by whim they can land
their ore on a dump t. be conveyed
rom there by steam wagons to the smell
er. 1t is all down grade aud over as fine
. macadamized road, with a very light
tarde, is anywhere can be found. They
nave abundance OF wood, water and u
mountain of copper, gold and silver ore.
Enough OF the latter in sight to run their
TT sent smelling facilities for at least
our years. Bit their present sn,elter is
mly a "baby' compared to what they
intend to erect later on.
One redeeming feature of this camp
over many others that have had their
rise and fall" in this State is that
find no elegant buildings for an office
,r for the Superintendent. and you see
no "silk stocking" gentlemen employed
M ''bosses :" all a be seen with the r
sleeves rolled mp and hard at it. 1t is no
''puffed up" or prophetic vein, when we
claim that this camp. when it has gotten
fully under Roadway, will by its employ
ment of so much help make a great local
market which to the producer is always
the best, for the people OF Chuchchill
county and the v~inicity OF Lovelocks;
for while the superintendent has no
fayorites in these purchases, yet he
wishes to buy everything 1t home that
he possibly can.
1t is getting a little chilly now Mr..
Editor, but when springtime comes
again" | think You will be amply paid for
sonr trouble if you will visit this locality
and see for yourself, ''for The hall has
not been told" More anon.
