GROUND HOG SAW HIS SHADOW.
Then He Scurried Back for Six Weeks
Sleep.


Sleep.
( The ground hog came out of his
burrow on Saturday, saw his shadow
and scurried back into his hole to
sleep six weeks longer, while poor hu-
manity will shiver in blasts of winter.
He is supposed TO indicate by his
movements on February end whether
the winter is over or whether there
will be more cold weather. The sun
shine, which would induce some ami
mails to linger awhile to bask in its
rays held out no inducement TO Mr.
Ground Hog, but on the contrary
frightened him terribly and he fled for
his hole, pursued by his shadow. His
term of Information for the second
period will end six weeks from Satur-
day, at which time his charm upon
the weather man is supposed to come
to an end and spring-like. balmv
weather returns with him.
Some folks do not altogether believe
in the ground hog and his forecasts.
but they have nothing better to offer
in his stead, for weather observers
are not allowed the same degree of
unrestrained liberty in forecasting as
the ground hogs are.
The weather of Sunday and Monday
indicated that 1.-The ground hog was

remarked, for both days were as
rough as they well could be, rain,
snow and sleet making up the quota
of weather for the two DAYS men

a young Fairmont swell met IA very
pretty young lady of Salem Thursday
at the Fairmont depot and came with
her to Oakland and put up at lead
ing hotel. The young man had quite
a little roll on him and got the land
lord of the hotel to make arrange
ments for wedding. The clerk of
the court and the ministers were seen
and before the wedding the young
man took his lady out in grand trous-
seau, and returned to the hotel, where
they were married, but when the
hotel bill was to be settled, it was dis
covered that the young man had
spent all his money on the wedding
garments for his bride. There were
some hard words on the part of the
landlord and some tears shed by the
bride. 1t was finally arranged by the
young mans taking the landlords
card and promising to remit the
amount. They returned to Fairmont,
where they were seen to leave the
train as happy as if there had been no
jar.

A STEEL RAIL ORDER.

1t is generally understood that the
steel mills are all very busy, but what
their industry Involves is not so readily
comprehended. Take one case as re-
Ported by the Chicago Tribune. The
making OF $4,000 tons of rails is prob
lem confronting the steel mills of the
Chicago district Ii is not the size of
this order that promises 10 prove en-
barrassing, but the other demands upon
the capacity of the mills. Last month
rhe South Chicago mills of the Illinois
Steel Company broke their record, turn
ing out $4,000 tons. During the present
month it is said the output Will reach
$4,000 tons. With the mills doing all
they can the additional orders mean
much to the company.
THE orders for $4,000 tons of steel
rails would cause no embarrassment il
it were possible to commence upon them
Immediately said representative of
the Illinois Steel company I'VE have
other orders, however. and these must
be disposed of while the rails are being
turned out. However, there will be no
delay in filling the orders or in accept
ing others TO fill in a given time
Some idea of the size of an order for
$4,000 tons of steel rails may be gained
from the following figures. showing the
selling price on basis of SOS a ton, how
far the rails would reach If laid in a
single track and the time required for
manufacture, with the cost of labor:
Market price of $4,000 tons -. 81, 400 900
Time required for making -. % days
Number OF rails commencement. 1850
Number of miles of single track 81
Men required in manufacture. $500
Pay roll for twenty five days IS 100000
The output of the South Chicago mills
is given at 1000 tons a day. The ore
men place the ore in the fire at in the
morning. where it is allowed to remain
five hours, leaving it as pig iron. The
transformation from pig iron into steel
ingots requires thirty minutes The in
COTS are left in the soaking pit twen-
ty-five minutes, after which they pass
thru the final process of being changed
into rails, which requires forty minutes.
Thus the reader may gain a feint con-
ception of what is involved in the max
ing of $4,000 steel rails. To follow this
order as it goes out upon the track
would furnish another chapter of indus
try running into great figures.

LET THE BEER TAX ALONE.

A few weeks before the opening of
congress some one is bound to begin the
taik of reducing the tax on beer. III the
members of congress would carry out
the wishes of the people VINO sent them
to Washington they would let the inter-
lal revenue tax on beer remain where II
is Beer is a luxury. Our prohibitions
list friends may dispute this statement,
but what we mean is this, that beer is
commodity men do not have to buy un-
less they SO desire. 1t is not necessity.
beer hurts no one, is not onerous, be-
cause man who objects to paying 1t In
the increased price of beer can let II
alone and he pays no tax.
1t is true that the surplus of revenue
ever expenditures is causing the nation
i. government grea. deal of worry and
a reduction in taxes is undoubtedly ed
yisable, but said reduction should be
made upon import duties in return for
trade concessions that will enlarge and
extend the markets for American prod
ucts abroad If taxes are to be reduced
let them be taken off the national banks
that interest rates may go lower and
money for investment in productive en-
terprises be cheaper, and let the petty
little annoyances of stamp taxes on con-
yeyances, etc, be removed. Reciprocity
treaties are needed as the good Mckin-
ley pointed out in his Buffalo speech, to
give this country new markets abroad
and reciprocity implies give and take
t-ansaction. We must concede some
markets for additional markets in other
countries.
If after all these reductions are made
we will still have more revenue than we
know what to do with the beer tax,
which 1t is now proposed to reduce some
$40, 900, 600 per year, would come in handy
IN paying for the inter-oceanic canal.
At an estimated cost Of s2o0,000,000 for
that work 1t will probably take s40o, 0oo,-
600 to pay the bill. This would keep the
beer tax busy for the next ten years
and perhaps by that time the pendulum
OF prosperity may have taken back
ward swing and the entire additional
sac, o0o,o 600 from the beer tax be needed
TO pay running expenses. No one but
the brewers is crying for a reduction in
the beer tax. Beer is cheap enough now
and altogether too plentiful. Beer. Ii
uuors and tohaccos are the ideal articles
Tor taxation for:the simple reason that
the man who can't afford the tax can
easily escape it and even be improved in
condition thereby. If anything is to be
lone to the tax on beer raise it.

ON EXPANDING TRADE.

The E'ifty-seventh congress, which
meets December 2, will find the country
IN splendid condition from nearly every
oint of view. This condition may be
mined up briefly inthe statement that
7. is prosperous and peaceful. 1t would
seem that not many vexatious problems
would be presented to congress for So
luton, and yet It is expected that Presi-
dent Roosevelt's message will call at
tention to some very important ones,
some that may call for progressive
steps In the field of craftsmanship.
The theory that 1t is the part of wis
dom to leave well enough alone may
apply to policies that are working well
at present and leaving good results;
but there are others that demand So
luton by legislative action.
One of the subjects of Importance
grows out of our trade relations with
other nations, to which the late la
mented Mckinley called attention.
Our enormous trade expansion gave
him visions of reciprocity. We have it
now within our power to build up
friendly International trade relations
and it is incumbent upon us to do so.
Senator Lodge. in a recent speech,
made lengthy argument for general
reciprocity in our commercial rela-
lions. He said in part: ITO this sub
ject It is certain that most anxious
consideration will be given by Presi-
dent Roosevelt and by congress at the
ensuing session. Whether 1t will be
deemed best to put this policy into exc
cution by means of some general legis-
lation, equivalent to a reciprocal ar
rangement with all the nations of the
earth, or by series of separate treat
les. 1t is as yet TOO early to say"
He said that he considered reci-
procity with Cuba as first and most i'm
portant for political as well as econom-
icat reasons He then briefly discussed
the reciprocity treaties now pending
in the senate, and concluded this por-
tion of his remarks by saying:
Last, we come to the treaty with
France, which is more important, eco
nomically, than all the other treaties
put together. I should like to see a
treaty made with France. 1t is a
country with which I would fain
strengthen our good relations. re-
gard such treaty as politically and
economically desirable in very high
degree
It would seem to be the most prac-
tical way to take up each nations case
separately and to canvass all our trade
relations with 1t, and yet. as Senator
Lodge states, it is too early to de-
termine what may be among the pos
sibilities in this direction. Being
peaceful and prosperous and having
made fields to cultivate 1t is incum-
