HE Is SUPERFICIAL.

At Pocatello Roosevelt took occa-
sion to say that the Short Line shops
had more men at work than in 1896
and that they were making more
money. That may be true, but it
means nothing During the panic
men were laid off, put on half time
and accepted reduced wages with the
distinct understanding that they
should go back to the old scale as
soon as the panic was off. which
could not always continue, even I'm
der adverse conditions The banks
had to take their finger off the panic
button as soon as they succeeded iu
carrying the election. Then, the
vice presidential candidate of senti-
mentalism should know, if he does
not, that Idaho and the West can
stand the results of the gold standard
better than any other section, and the
influx from the East is constantly
growing. The raw resources to be
developed out here, constitute a
magnet which is drawing population.
Farms continue to absorb the sage
brush wastes, and the mineral and
timber resources are bound to be
utilized to the best advantage under
any adverse conditions The pro
cess will continue and under it the
railway traffic must increase, and it
has increased and more workmen are
a necessity-eighty per cent of them
are Bryan men, too-but that in
stance of our superior local conditions
does not abolish memorable monetary
laws. Mr.. Roosevelt should have re-
ferred to the 140, 900 coal miners on
a strike in Pennsylvania, who Say
that the reason they have struck is
because most of them cannot earn
over $3.50 year and this they must
trade out at the corporation stores

THE EMPTINESS OF 1T.

The only thing that saved the
country from extreme hard times
during the present administration
has been q war in which over $500,
900, 900 have been spent, wars of
other countries, which have increased
our exports largely, famine, and
short crops which have decreased the
grain supply of the world The re-
publ'cans are anxious to continue
war and support a vast military
fabric because they see in it q happy
way TO create seeming market for
some thngs-such as the hay pur-
chased for the Philippines-by which
people may be inveigled away from
the money question and made to be-
ieve that war is a good thing to sell
products, 1t will be only a matter
Of time until the producers see that
they are simply their own customers.
They are simply selling to them
selves, and those who sell the
stuff must foot the bill for it's
purchase. The government has
accumulated 1880, 900, 600 in gold
in the treasury, but that is sa :
credly guarded and held, useless to
the public, for the benefit of the
money power, while the people are
still paying war tax, two years after
the signing Of The Paris treaty which
placed us at peace with all the world.

Dne American manufacturer last veal
sold $50 moving machines for-vor
never could guess-Finland and one
German agent sold 300. A visitor TO the
Paris exposition says the American ex,
hibition of agricultural implements
stands alone; that nothing there com
pares with it, Salt Lake Tribune
We would like the Tribune to pro-
coed and give the prices received fol
those machines and then compare
them with the prices asked in the
United States for the same article
and, after deducting the transporta-
ton and getting down to what the
manufactures actually received, show
how much extra the American farmer
has to pay, with his products ham
mered down in price by the gold
standard, in order to assist the man
ufacturer in under selling competi-
tors in those countries. How much
does the American farmer have to
put up in order that his foreign ap-
ricultursl competitor may buy the
implements at lower figure?

The Statesmen bewais that when
the Chinese exclusion act was
passed the measure did not include
the class of foreigners that predomi-
nate in the strikes. Is it not true
that every time the republicans
passed class laws for the benefit of a
select few and the building up of a
money power, those beneficiaries re-
sponded by. importing hordes of
pauper labor, to play both ends of
the game? Are not republicans and
republican policies to blame. They
have bred the scab on their own
nose.

AS expected, Republican journals
are whooping up prosperity on that
800, 600 tons Of hay ordered for our
army horses in the Philippines-with
the war all over and only one tribe
out of eighty, on the war path-and
farmers are being cited to the
splendid market created by the
slaughter of Filipinos. On thai
basis it is certain that when the FIT
pinos are all killed the market VIII
be destroyed, and the farmer is also
wondering how much it costs MN
individually to support the army
which consumes the hay. There
are lots of holes in skinner

In every important eastern speecf
made by Roosevelt this year he has
declared silver to be the paramount
issue and has cried aloud against
the danger to the gold standard if
Mckinley is defeated Yet in the
states Of Utah, Wyoming, Idaho and
Montana he did not even whisper on
the financial issue Teddy had been
posted that there are some people
out here who are silver men but are
being led into the gold party by de-
ceit and jugglery, and that there are
other men who never were silver
men-but pretended to be, in order
to deceive their friends, and. who
have taken advantage of loop hole
to crawl back to the vicinity of the
boodle-to whom mention of the f.
nancial issue would come as a re-
proach too heavy even for their hard
ened political consciences. They
could not face Teddy and listen TO
straight gold doctrine under Che eyes
of those whom they have deceived,
and so Teddy talked about ORLEANS
and Indians-as if there were some
between OF teams and the
proposal to betray Ssthe Fundamental
principles of this republic. !.

If anthracite coal miners &c; 90 cents

Mr.. Rogers Says Plans are
Complete and Work to
Begin Next Month
LOCATION STILL UNDECIDED
But that Point is Immater-
ial so Long as the Mill
Comes to Allen Co.

Mr.. J. s. Rogers, president of the
Lanyon Zinc Company, arrived Fri
day. from gNew York. In conversa-
ton with a REGISTER reporter he
said that the plans for the Rolling
Mills which his company proposed to
construct were practically complete,
and that the work upon them would
begin in very short time, probably
in less than a month.
In reply to question as to the
exact location of the mills, Mr.. Rogers
said that had not yet been determined.
1t seems the most natural thing
that the mills should he located at
lola, where the greater portion of the
spelter is produced and where both
roads are available, and of course lola
people would like to see them locate
here. But If they are built at Lam
yonville. or LaHarpe lola will yet re-
joice, for it will only hasten the day
OF Greater lola, when lola. Gas City,
Lanyonville and LaHarpe will be
separate towns in name only. The
main thing is that the Rolling Mills
are to be built and that the work is to
begin soon.
The company has also decided to
begin drilling gas wells on some of
its leased land and has ordered ma
terial for twenty wells and work will
be commenced on ten of these at
once. These wells are not required
for use at present, of course, nor will
be for years, but by drilling them the
leases under which they are held will
not be permitted to expire. 1900 will

fields.

Ten Acres Burned over.

Ottawa, Ont, April 3O.-A deter
mined attempt was made Saturday to
destroy the Dominion rife range. The
brush i'll the immediate vicinity of the
buildings was set on fire to the wind
ward, and, being of dense growth and
very dry, fierce conflagration was
soon created. The militia were at
once called out, and, after severe
fight, succeeded in getting the fire
under control. About ten acres were
burned over on this range. There be-
ing no water service in this locality,
the battle with the flames was n des-
perate one indeed. There can be no
doubt that the origin of the blaze
was incendiary.

given last week to the class Of 1900
and few of their friends by the three
young lady teachers 0t the city high
school, Misses Hyde, Ausherman and
Klaumann, at the latter's home on
south Washington avenue. Numerous
games were played and guessing and
word making contests held, in the
latter of which Miss Julia Nc
Clure won the fret prize, dainty
little china rose bowl, and Miss Fan

candy. Mr.. Louie Klaumann also
gained the distinction of winning the
'booby prize, comical little clown,
dressed in the class colors of the
graduating class, crimson and gold.
Light refreshments were served
after which several selections we're
rendered on the piano by the young
ladies of the class. Not the least of
the entertainments of the evening
were some songs rendered by Mr..
Lewis, the vocal teacher, who is CIV
ing voice lessons in the schools here
and who has won his way into the
hearts of the pupils. The whole even
ing was one round of jollity and
merIiment and all present departed

Cement Plant Growing.

Every Sunday sees string of peo
pie going from town out to the cement
plant to look around and see what
progress has been made and those
who visited the works Sunday
were surprised at the way things are
moving along.
The chief change noticed is the new
steel building which is rapidly rising
hove the north section of the works.
The frame only is in place, but it lie
lofty and immense and when the cor
rugated iron sides are on and the red
tar root 1t will be an imposing
structure. The steel supports of the
main south building are also being
put in place and this building when
finished will be the largest of them
all. These two steel buildings cover
the crushers, the rotaries and the
Griffin mills, the north building con-
tanning seven rotaries and seven
mills aud the south building fourteen
rotaries and fourteen Griffin mills.
The mills and rotaries are in place in
the north building and eight rotaries
in the south building.
The :rotaries are :being line with
fire brick and these ponderous cylin
ders of iron and brick, twenty-one of
them, will revolve day and night
without squeak or tremble. Every
thing Is belted to foundations of con-
crete made into solid rock by the
power of cement. Cement has been
used unsparingly everywhere and it
has done it's work well, the whole
plant, machinery, engines and build
ings, being bolted down as if to solid
rock.
Huge engines are scattered all over
the works, gas engines of 100 horse
power, and the whole foundation of
the buildings Is honey-comb with
shafts which transmit the power
generated by the engines to the ma
chinery. 1t Is hoped to start the
north section of the plant next month
| hnu NY ludb tluu6 bu6 OlueT BIN TOldT-
les will be in place and the frame of
the south building can be put up.
The huge store building and the
large machine shops have been
finished for months, the north steel
building is taking shape, and the big
gest of all will be finished this sum-
mer. The company has also erected q
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS building south OF
the plant and the scattered iron AM
rock and machinery is rapidly taking
on the appearance of factory.
The result of the directors meeting
in Detroit Wednesday when the pro
position to double the plant :can {
up, will be awaited with interest
The plant is now one of the largest
manufacturing concerns in the State
and if doubled will be ca silly the big
gest thing in this part OF the country
and the biggest cement plant in the
world.
