1t was the mad sweet thrill of the
cake walk and the making of mud pies
which led Johnny Downing johnson,
aged years. and Otto Walter Lieber.
aged 5, of Woodruff place, to do thing
in the last week that led to great anx-
iety in the breasts of the Older folk.
Johnny Downing Johnson and Otto
Waller Lieber made their way to the
back lots one day and proceeded to the
manufacture of mud pies. After an ar
tistic batch of this pastry had been pre-
pared Johnny Dowing Johnson and
Otto Walter Lieber mutually agreed on
cake walk which should be graced
with an exceptionally beautiful prize
Otto Walter Lieber went to his back
porch and distracted a quantity Of
plaster Of paris, while Johnny Downing
Johnson procured from his mothers
dressing-room handsome gold brooch
set with "a diamonds and four pearls
1t was inconvenient for him to speak to
his mother about the matter and he did
not take the time to do so.
How the cake walk proceeded, il, In
deed, it was not forgotten in the press
of emergencies which are constantly
arising in such businesses as those in
which Johnny Downing johnson and
Otto Walter lieber are engaged, is not
known, the boys having dismissed it
as a mere incident in tense careers.

Tin Supplies.

of tin, we recently remarked that il
was quite possible that the production
of the metal could be largely increased.
This view we find confirmed by an eX-
cellent authority. Sir Frank A. SWEET
tenham. the British resident general
for the Malay states. where straits TN
is chiefly produced. In recent report
he says that he does not share the
opinion of those who think that The
supplies of Malay tin are being rapidly
exhausted. The area of the state OF
Perak alone is 6,400,000 acres, and out
of that the total acreage dealt with up
to now, either for agricultural or MIN
ing purposes. is the odd 100000 acres.

THE SEVEN DEVILS.
A Montanan's View of the Idaho Copper
District.

A Montanan's View of the Idaho Copper
District.
The Daily Statesman of Boise reports
an interview with r. H. Kleinschmidt
of Helena. concerning the Seven Devils
district, in which Mr.. Kleinschmidt is
interested. In the course of his talk
he said that his company, always hav-
ing the greatest confidence in the fu-
ture of the Seven Devils, had refused
to bond or sell any of its interests in
the copper section with the one eXcep-
ton of the Peacock mine. The North
west Copper Cor Blake) company had
been given an option on the Peacock,
but they had given it up. A second
option had been taken by the Boston
& Idaho Copper company, which was
now entitled to possession.
Il, wish" said Mr.. Kleinschmidt, I'VE
had all of our leased property in our
own hands. With that section tapped
by a railroad it is going to be hum
mer. Take the Blue jacket, for in
stance. Our company owns half of it.
We leased it to Mr.. French and his
associates, and they have been MAX
ing all kinds of money. In the past
nine weeks 13 carloads of ore have
been shipped from that property and
not a car has returned less than $4,000
net. BY net | do not exclude the
transportation and smelling charges.
I have the papers showing the re-
turns of two recent shipments-S2,2 200
carload. OF course we get a royal
ty, but we might as well have all of
it, The lease will run for two years
more, and when it expires we will take
the property. At least we will not
again lease our half interest"
According to the Statesman Mr.
Kleinschmidt believes that the Seven
Devils is going to Guido Butte as a
copper producer. In this his judgment
is very likely to be at fault. although
he may possibly be right. But in any
event it is to be hoped that the Seven
Devils will prosper and that Mr., Klein
schmidt will come out all right in his
ventures over there.

PRINCESS FREDERICK NOTES"
Astonishes and Grieves Royal Family
by Her Athletics,


The Princess Friedrich of Hohenlohe-
Oehringen is a bright young woman
who enlivens the traditional heaViness
of German blood with a strong Ameri-
can admiXture She is the daughter OF
an American mother.
The cable reports that the German
aristocracy is shocked beyond express
ion at the spectacle of princess tax
ing part in the French motor races.
The princess, who is a handsome, act
i've. athletic young woman, handles an
automobile with great skill and abso-
lutte fearlessness. She will run her ma
chine along q road at speed or Az
miles an hour with perfect assurance.
The princess is the daughter of Count
Won Observation-Disclosures whose wife
was Miss Helen Moulton, an American.
Count Hatzfeldt is the German ambas-
sador in London. and therefore one OF
the highest official personages in the
German empire He belongs to the
highest aristocracy of Prussia.
It will be gratifying news to Ameri-
cans that the princess has done nothing
more shocking to the European aris-
tocracy than to take part in automo-
bile races. There are great many
other ways in which the European aris-
tocracy renders itself shocking to
Americans.
The princess is not only daring au-
tomobile engineer, but she is a great
cyclist She thinks nothing of making
a century run, and she rides about all
over the continent in a plain cyclists
dress, without the least ceremony. This
is also very shocking to the German
aristocracy. who think that woman
of rank should only sit in carriage
and be driven by servants.
On the European continent the bicy-
Gle, popular as it is, is not yet consid-
cred the proper thing for women OF
high rank. In France it's use is most
general in the fringe of society. When
the king of Italy's niece took bicycle
at large he had her locked up.

church but he said he would nave to re-
turn home and departed. He evidently
did not reach home because on yesterday
a son came to town and began to search
for him. At prayer meeting last night
his disappearance was discussed by the
members of the NJ. f.. church who hold
him in the highest esteem. His pres
ence at Mr.. McKays the afternoon before
was made known but no tidings of his
whereabouts could be traced from them.
He is a man who does not drink and
has no bad habits which makes his alb
sence from home all the more strange.
He never carried large sums of money
and his friends cannot believe that he
has been robbed oremet with foul play.
1t is argued by many that he must have
been delayed after leaving the Mckay
residence n remained over night with
friends either in town or in the country

home before his son started out looking
for him because he did no; return the day
he left as he told his family he would do
or which was his usual custom.

day. He left for home to-day at noon.
