out from Warren the news of big
strike that has recently been made on
the lola mine. The strike was made
in a shaft that had been sunk 80 feet
from the level of the tunnel on the
lower workings. A body of ore two
feet wide was encountered that is
richer than any yet found in Idaho
county, Mr. Devine says. He was
working in the mine at the time the
strike was made and he says the
quartz is literally specked with gold.
Much excitement followed in camp
as the result of the strike. When
Mr. Devine left the camp the full
extent of the rich ore body had not
been determined.
The lola mine is owned by Governor
Tanner and a party of Illinois capital
lists and has been in operation some
years. Captain Woods, of Chicago,
is superintendent of the mine.

rants are issued in this city and can
be cashed at any national bank so
that there will be little gain from the
new branches. Sub treasures are
very costly. The one in New York

26 employees and costs S37, 600 and
Philadelphia's 81 costing S42, 600.
During the debate in the house on
the Roberts case, the assertion was
made by Representative Lands, of
Indiana, that nearly all of the pro-
fessors and faculty OF Logan College,
Utah, which receives aid from the
government were living openly in
polygamy one of them having as
many as seven wives and 80 children.
Since then Mr.. lands has been mott
fed that the president of the college
(who has three wives) has resigned
and that two others will probably
soon do so. Mr.. Lands speech has
attracted great attention, and his
mail is flooded with requests for
copies-this in addition to 100, 600
copies distributed by the Good
Citizenship Association at its own
expense.

The Outlook Club.


Any new organization must neces-
sarily designate its different spheres
of activity and define its own limits.
The last meeting of the Outlook
Club was thus far the most encourag
ing one from the standpoint of those
who have watched with interest the
development of its policy. The work
is beginning to fall into we'll ordered
lines, each section under the consid-
Grafton of the proper committee.
All the Club committees gave inter
esting reports indicating Il commend
able degree of activity in the system
izing of their efforts and the concen-
tration of energy made possible by
the undertaking of few objects by
each committee. The Club finances
are in a healthy condition, and at
each meeting new members have
been voted in.
After the adjournment of the last
meeting number of the ladies of
Weiser met and arranged to assist
the tiremen in the preparation Of
their donation supper. At the next
meeting Wed Feb. 81, there will be
a discussion of the South African
question. "Tne Beers Point of
View" by Mrs. Gillespie, 1.-The Eng
fish Standpoint" by Mrs. Bradley
after which there will be a Round

quested that all members will take

forehand, else much of the careful
preparation of the leaders will be
wasted Tie location, resources and
early history of the Trausvaa, her

personal investigation of the same
will aid in compreheuding the present

terest if each member can come pre-
pared to give cogent reasons for her
views, or at least one phase of the
present situation. A recitation will
also be given by Mrs Bruce. Time
permitting there will be short talk
on Parliamentary Tactics, with a
practical illustration of the same.
Visitors cordially invited.
AS decided at general meeting
the club will give Washington So

During the evening General and
Lady Washington will be present
with their suite, and a drill march
will be executed. Refreshments will
also be served. Each person pres.
ent will be requested to pay five

However, the latest and the shortest

riers a greater proportion of north
western grain shipments than ever be-
fore. It would appear, however, from
the latest statistics that the inroads are
less serious than supposed
The statement just compiled also re-
flutes the popular fallacy that the water
transportation of grain in the great
( lakes district constitutes almost exclu-
sivsly a direct traffic between Chicago
and Buffalo. In the shipment OF flour
the ports of Duluth and Milwaukee are
practically equal, the shipments at each
port this far this season having exceed
ed 100000 tons.
In shipments of wheat Duluth is far
ahead of all other ports, having shipped
1,014,193 bushels in July and S,26S,SS6
bushels during the season up to August
L The neighboring port of West Su-
perior, Wis, stands next to Duluth,
having shipped 1911 .64s bushels during
July and 5.2Ss, 051 during the season.
Chicago heads the list in corn ship
ents, her total for July being 6,5SS,526
bushels and for the season 24,42I. 1856
bushels In shipments of barley and
oats Milwaukee leads, while in ship
ments of rye Duluth holds high rank
Although originating at numerous diff
ferent ports, the great bulk of the lake
grain trade converges at Buffalo as
point of discharge. For instance, of the
16, 900 bushels of wheat received at
all lake ports, 14,217.441 bushels We're
consigned to Buffalo, which port also
received %, 975,796 bushels of the aggre-
gate of 29. 63S. 915 bushels of corn arriv-
ing at all ports
The iron ore traffic is a branch of lake
traffic in which the greatest interest is
felt this year by all persons connected
with the iron and steel industry. Thus
far this season the total receipts OF
iron ore foot up 7.se0.O69 tons. 1,S6s,721
tons being received at Ashtabula, l.

TO BUILD RAILROAD.
Charles J. Devlin Adds New Enter
prise to His Present List

Charles j. Devlin. the wealthy mine
owner and operator of Topeka, is about to
build a railroad connecting his mines at
Toluca, Marshall county. Ill. with those at
Marquette, Bureau county. in the same
state. The articles of Incorporation were
prepared here and forwarded to Spring
field, ILL.,, for filing. The capital stock is
placed at 100000.
Mr.. Devlin owns general stores at both
Toluca and Marquette, farms in the vicin-
ity of both mining towns, and operates a
bank at the former place. He controls the
Santa Fe mines in Kansas under a lease,
and is probably the most successful ind1-
vidual mine operator in the country. He
never has trouble with his miners from
the fact that he is continually looking out
for their welfare. An illustration of this
is the fact that he is building a hospital
for miners in Crawford county.

new road named in the charter are, be-

DEAN SYKES RETURNS.
May Leave Topeka Later and Take

Rev John w. Sykes. dean of Grace
cathedral, returned Saturday after an
absence of several weeks in the east. He
was expected back in time to conduct
services at the cathedral on Sunday a
week ago. and when he did not arrive a
rumor was started to the effect that he
intended to remain in the east. His ar
rival Saturday of course put a stop TO
this.
There is some sentiment against Dean
Sykes among the congregation of Grace
cathedral, and during his absence
petition was started by Mr. L. V. Marks,
a lay reader of the church, asking Bishop
RIillspaugh to secure his resignation
However, but five signatures were Sc
cured.
Dean Sykes said today that it was al
together probable that he would leave
Topeka for an eastern charge within the
next six months. He gave as his reason
the fact that his children are being ed
ucated in Maryland and his desire to
be near them
