COPPER ABROAD.

Mr.. Q. T. Austen. who is chief of the
bureau of statistics at Washington. has
an article in the current number of the
North American Review in which he ac-
counts for the copper surplus by show
ing that several of the European coun-
tries are purchasing elsewhere the cop
per which they formerly obtained from
the United States. He says:
An examination of production in other
parts of the world seems to strengthen
the conclusion that the European coun-
tries are purchasing elsewhere at least
a part Of the supplies OF copper which
they formerly obtained from the United
States. The production of copper in
Australia, which. according to Merton &
Co. of London. was $500 tons in 1889. was.
according to Rothwell, 20, $50 tons in
1899; Japan. in 1889. 15.00N tons. and in
1899 % 900 tons; Mexico in 1889. 37Sa tons.
and in 1899 10000 tons: While the latest
information indicates thas the copper
mines of Chile are rapidly increasing
their output.
In addition to the increase in the coun-
tries above named. there has been an
increase in the United States production,
which from 105.114 long tons in 1882 grew
o 270.600 long tons in 1900. This fact and
the conclusions of Mr.. Austen will give
an idea of the difficulty involved in The
present attempt of the men who control
the surplus in this country to MAINTAIN
the market and prevent a collapse that
would mean not only heavy loss to them
selves. but ruin to the small producers
and injury to all business and labor in
terests. The best friends OF the copper
states at present are the men who are
UNFOLDING the copper market A fall in
copper would not materially increase the
demand, as some people enormously
suppose. High or low, the manufac-
turers must have it, and they require
practically as much at II cents as they
would at 10 cents.

INDIAN CENSUS.

The latest census bulletin deals with
the figures of the Indian population. 1t
gives the number of redskins in Montana
as 11.344, and sets the total in the
United States, including Alaska. at
266 100. 1t is apparent from comparative
tables contained in the census report that
the Indian has been doomed to eXtinc-
ton and in time will be effaced from the
population records. In nearly every state
in the Union the Indian population. has
grown smaller Civilizing influences
have decreased the death rate, and the
greatest mortality is now found among
the wild tribes. The BLANKET Indians, -
the last relics of the tribal grandeur of
the West, have learned to practice all
the vices of the whites without adopting
any of the means by which disease is
prevented or cured.

the PACIFIC cASlE.

The completion of the Siberian rail-
road brings up again the question of a
Pacific cable. Siberia now has an outlet
by rail to the Pacific, which cannot
fail to influence trade. A cable service
across the western ocean would put the
United States into direct communica-
ton with the ports of the Asiatic coast,
with southern Russia, and, by means of
the new railway, with remote Siberia.
1t is promised that, once the work is
under way, cable can be laid from
the Pacific coast to Honolulu in nine
months, and to Manila in two years.
From the latter point to Japan and
China cables are already in operation.
Communication between the United
States and the Orient is now limited to
affairs of mighty Importance. This
should not be so, and there is every
prospect that the gap of 5000 miles or SO
intervening in the girdle of electric wire
around the world will soon be closed.

CAMPAIGN PROMISES.

LAS soon as possible after January /,
if am elected. the official heads of Mr..
Murphy and Mr.. Devery will roll upon
the ground. This was the statement
made by Seth Low. candidate for mayor
of New York by the grace of five united
parties. Shepard. the Tammany candi-
date, refused to pledge himself to remove
officers charged with offenses against
common decency. and it is notable that
Shepard fell short of winning while APP
parently trying to carry water on both
shoulders. There is lesSRn to he gained
from the attitude of the two, candidates
and the election result. The people OF
New York in common with voters every-
where, like a plain. outspoken man when
important principles are at stake. The
voters of New York were after Devery
and his associates. and they elected the
man who promised to chop off their off,
ciai heads. Honesty to the people pays.
as Shepard has learned too late to be
of avail in securing votes.

TRANS MISSISSIPPI DEVELOPMENT.

In the midst of difficulties surrounding
the plans for providing Montana with a
suitable exhibit ut the ST. Louis EXPOSE
ton one important fact should not be
lost sight Of The worlds fair at St.
Louis will afford an opportunity for the
Northwest to make plain to the world the
mighty advance made since the LOUIS
lana purchase. Without exception in his
tory the settlement of the one million
square miles coded by France in 1909
affords the greatest example of rapid
development ever known. A hundred
years ago village at New Orleans and
frontier hamlet at st. Louis comprised
the population. Today fourteen million
people find homes in the fourteen states
and territories carved out of the vast
area. Compared with she growth Of the

SUGAR HfETS AND GRAM.

In a recent issue of the Spokane
Spokesman Review apnears a compari-
son between the profits of raising sugar
beets and wheat. 1t has been the ex-
perience of farmer in the state of
Washington that the profit made at
raising wheat at 40 cents per bushel is
not as great as that realized from grow
ing beets. 1t is also proved that the
sugar beet crop affords happy solution
to the question of crop rotation. The
condition of the land is improved by al
ternating beets and grain, each of the
crops taking different constituents from
the soil. This experience should afford
valua BILE hint to the ranchers of Mon
tana, and should stimulate the sugar
beet industry appreciably. Each year
practical experience furnishes strong
reasons for making the manufacture Of
beet sugar one of the permanent indus
tries Of the West.

the CURRY GANG.

Tomorrow is the day set for the pre-
liminary hearing of the case of Harry
Longabaugh before the federal grand
jury at st. Louis. The woman with
many aliases will be given a hearing at
the same time and the evidence against
her weighed to determine how greatly
she was concerned in the robbery of the
express car at Wagner on July 8. The
capture OF Longabaugh has verified the
opinions Of Montana officers. They be-
lieved the Kid Curry gang committed
the robbery, and subsequent events have
proved that they We're correct in their
opinions. 1t will be the wish of all who
are interested in the states good name
that the trial of Longabaugh and his
female accomplice may result in securing
evidence which will lead to the detec-
ton and conviction of the rema lining
members of the gang.

New York is making rapid progress as
one of the worlds great financial CEN
ters having already challenged London
for first place. A financial authority de-
clares that almost every month some
foreign government undertakes to effect
a loan in the American metropolis. The
Swedish loan of year ago was largely
placed in New York, and has paid 8 per
cent to the bondholders. Since then
Germany England and many other ma
tions have borrowed large sums from
American bankers.

TO be a favorite theme with some very

The cattle and sheep shipments to
Chicago this fall are the heaviest known
since 1898, when the democratic panic
compelled shippers to rush their stock
to market regardless of price or de-
mand. This year, however, with a
healthy demand and high prices, the
shipments to Chicago alone have been
