Senators who ought to know say
that the Nicaragua Canal bill will
be passed at this session, regard
less of the action or non-action of
Great Britain on the Hay-Paunce-
fote treaty; that it is not recognized
that Great Britain has any rights
in the premises, but as a matter of
courtesy to a friendly government
the Canal bill will not be called up
until after the first of February, in
order that Great Britain may have
time to act on the treaty if so dis
posed. Meanwhile the President
of the Panama Canal Co., who is
in Washington. says there is still
a chance that this government may
buy the Panama Canal, but that
his company doesn't care whether
it does or not, as it has been as
sured that England. France and
Germany will take the Canal and
complete it whenever the company
is willing. This statement is not
taken seriously in Washington, be-
cause if it were true the man who
makes it and the lobby employed
by his company would not be in
Washington scheming in every inn
aginable way to stave off action on
the Nicaragua Canal bill by the
Senate.

We have received the initial
number of Gunnison's fourth
paper, the Gunnison Republican,
edited by E. r. Lore, formerly of
the News. 1t is a neat little sheet,
but we fear there is no field for n
fourth publication at the county
seat and that it will find progress
very difficult. However, we wish
More success.

Like the boy who was "unreas-

Congressman say that the new
Tx of 10 cents a pound, as pro-
posed in the oleomsrgarine bill,
will really make that product
cheaper. The tax affects only the
'oleomargarine colored to represent
butter, while the tax upon the un-
colored product is reduced from ?
cents to'one fourth cent. In re-
atty, people are paying far too
much for the coloring matter that
enters into butterine, especially as
the oleomargarine is better and
more healtlful without it, though
not SO pleasing to look at.

'dUNNISON COUNTY.

5000 square miles, and its re-
sources are marvelously diversified.
Scores of beautiful streams bisect
it, and its valleys, parks, plateaus
and mountains abound in the ele-
ments that bless mankind.
The valleys, parks, plateaus,
foothills and mountain slopes are
clothed with succulent grasses and
vast deposits of coal and iron in
vite development. Gold, silver,
lead, copper, marble, granite, gyp-
sum, fire and brick clays, and other
commercial elements, abound in
great abundance and await the
genius of man to pour their treas
ures into the lap of commerce.
1t is not an inaccessible region, as
railroads have crossed its bound
ries and penetrated its heart. AL
ready two or three heavy COM
panies are digging out its black
diamonds and hundreds of men
are after its precious and base
metals. The time is not distant
when its mountains of iron Will be
developed and its quarries of gran
ite and marble will become bee
hives of industry. Even now, men
of great energy and ability are spy
ing out the land and planting their
banners on its foundations of
wealth.
The coal companies at Crested
Butte, Baldwin, Ruby and other
points, give employment to 800 or,
600 men and produce annually a
half million tons of 1cituminous
and anthracite Goals. During the
busy season 1000 men find en-
ployment- in the precious metal
mines, and these resources have
only been scratched in the most
inviting places. The vast posi-
bilities are in the bosom of these
upheavals. They are grand field
for capital and enterprise. Money,
brains, bone and muscle, must
wrest from mother earth these
boundless riches.
More than 500 square miles of
Gunnison county are underlaid
with coal. The varieties are an
thracite, bituminous, semi-bitumi-
nous and excellent colling coal.
Companies are mining coal at
Crested Butte, Anthracite, Ruby,
Baldwin and other points. The
article is found on the north fork
of the Gunnison, Coal creek, the
Crystal river drainage and at other
places in the county.
The gold belt extends in a semi
circle about 65 miles by Is, in
which thousands of locations have
been made and very little develop
ment done. AT Crested Butte,
Crystal, Bowman, Tin Cup, Gross
Mountain, Ohio City, Pitkin,
Cochetopa, Iris, Chance, Gold
Basin, Kezar Basin, Sugar Creek,
Vulcan, Spencer, Du Bois, Carpen-
ter and other districts, gold prop
critics have undergone limited de-
velopment and shipments have
been made. The Vulcan mine has
become profitable producer, and
with similar development it is be-
heved the greater number of the
others would become remunerative
shippers.
The silver-gold districts are seen
at Pitkin, Tin Cup, White Pine,
Irwin, Gothic, Schofeld and sew
eral other places. Large bodies of
copper and lead are disclosed in
some of the properties and profit
able shipments are going forward
every day. AT Pitkin, White Pine,
Vulcan and several other camps
quite a mining revival is manifest.
Capital is taking hold, and new
blood, energy and enterprise are
waking up the solitary places and
breathing the breath of life inte
scores of defunct propositions.

The year 1900 shows an in
creased development of foreign
trade, and its results support our
belief that the United States is
going to become the greatest ex-
porting nation in the world. Ex-
ports of iron and steel, copper,
spelter and zinc ore, have increased
heavily, while coal has entered in
to our foreign trade to an extent
hitherto unknown. 1t is being
urged in Continental Europe that
y Ryeat industrial alliance is the
'.1Ay thing which can protect the
nations from American competi-
ton. Cur surplus producing ca
pacity is finding an outlet in this
way which promises substantial
additions to our prosperity, and
must be reckoned with in any at
tempt to forecast the future.

Pierce on Ben Corbfp.

Hits and Miss"in Walsh county Re
cord: North Dakota has a wolf charmer
by the name of Benjamin Carbin-Un-
c Ben, the boys call him when they
want to get next to bis chewing tobacco
or get him to tell a wolf story. The
Boss Wolf Hunter is mis- official title,
and he has published a book, The Wolf
Hunters Guide, which travels by mail
for 81. Ben has trapped more wolves
than any other man in the northwest or
any other place, and he has the figures
to prove it, and if these figures had to be
fed on 2-year-old steers or spring chick
ems, North Dakota meat markets would
be retailing hickory jointed OK meat in
stead of something that could be eaten
with teeth furnished by nature. Uncle
has made wolves a life study. He has
gone out and lived with them and got
their confidence--gone into their family
affairs end found out things not sup
posed to be known outside of their hole
in the ground. The sworn circulation
of the female wolf is very large when
there is no bounty on her, but when a
generous bounty is put on her Cal Ger is
stopped, like a country newspaper that
has run to column rules and medicine
ads. Ben knows, for he has stopped
hundreds of them-perhaps thousands
Il haven't the exact tigures) while work
ing at his trade of wolf hunting. Each
female wolf is supposed to be the mother
OF seven wolves each year, and no de
duction is made for leap year. She has
to teach them the art of picking out
tender cattle and young lambs, and she
will also insist on their eating away
from home as much as possible. From
the first of February to the first of July
is the best time to kill seven Or eight
wolves at one shot. \ coyote is meantr
than a wolf. and a wolf is meaner than u
frozen pump at a salt pork boarding
house, and the meaner a wolf gets the
longer he will live and the more he will
eat, and the only thing that seems to
take the slack out Of a VOLTS appetite,
is a good, big bounty. The bounty seems
to cause hundreds of them to bite the
dust, and one bite cures their fordness
for young stock.

they shall. State Treasurer Mcmillan
does not look with alarm upon these de-
mands. He says that Bismarck has a
nice climate, and if the bill passes the
weather on the Missouri slope will be
appreciated all the more by the members
Of the state administration. ~
The South Dakota legislature followed
the example set in North Dakota and
passed suitable resolutions of regret at
the death of Gilbert A. Pierce. He was
we'll known in South Dakota also and
resolutions express fttingly the sense of

Frank Hughes. who is attending the
university of Minnesota, has been elected

over several contestants.
Stockmen if the western part of the
state are anxious for the passage of the

has been practiced in the western part
of the state.

predicts a large immigration for the
slope country the coming spring. He is
more pleased with this section of the
state every time he visits it. And every
where he goes he sounds the praises of
the "slope." His syndicate has already
disposed of over 5000 acres to actual
settlers. A new town is to be started in
Oliver county opposite Washburn dur
ing the coming summer.

EXPANSION,
Enlargement of the Wine Of Cardui
Plant at Chattanooga.

Plant at Chattanooga.
Chattanooga, Tenn, March 1.-The
Chattanooga Medicine Co., manufactur-
ers of McElree's Wine of Cardui and
Thedford's Black raught, have just
completed the erection of three new
buildings as additions to their large
plant here. These buildings give the
company over two acres of floor space
and make the plant the second largest
in the world devoted to the proprietary
medicine business.
In moving into this modern equipment
the medicine company has installed a
complete electrical plant for operating:
it's machinery, improved electric motors
being located in each building. An au-
tomato sprinkler outfit, which is consid-
cred an absolute preventive of loss by
fire, has also been erected.
This great business is rapidly extend
ing to foreign fields, a shipment of 1900
bottles of Wine of Cardui being recently
made to British South Africa.

Soldiers look like mere boys, and act like

the sidewalk with an old tomato can for
a pot to boil or stew their frugal meal.

For the first time in his life Mckenzie

believed that Mckenzie was in some

false affidavits against him. Men were

were sent to the states to prefer charges

If possible the national administration.
Out of it all has grown misunderstood
ing and misrepresentation of fact which
have thus far ended disastrously to a
man whom zone dare face and accuse of
cowardice or of intentional wrong-doing.
The truth has never been known to
travel as fast as a lie, and it has been
badly handicapped by the distance be-
tween the courts of the states and the
courts of Alaska. While suffering i'm
prlsonment for what is undoubtedly
honestly believed to have been contempt
of court, Mckenzie may rest assured
that his friends are multiplying faster
than his enemies, who are wonderfully
courageous and boastful because of the
present inability of the accused to sue
cessfully plead his own case.
Time and circumstances will surely
prove that an injustice has been mad
v%ertent]y done. BY and 10y it will be
plain that political influences and com
mercial greed in California have deceived
the public and thrown the scales of JUS
tice out of balance.
Alex Mckenzie may fnd that his
friends are a multitude while he is tenn
porarily under a cloud, and when the
truth prevails and he is completely ex-
onorated of contempt or wrong-doing his
enemies will stink away without having
the manliness to apologize.
