A country boy asks us why the tele-
phone wires sing so loudly in cold
weather 1t is caused BY the contrac-
ton Of the wire by the cold. He can
readily demonstrate the truth Of this
by striking a slack wire, which he will
find will have no RESONANT quality
whatever, but when tigEtened up will
have. The wintly winds striking these
taut wires produce the singing effect
noted in an eolian harp.

MUST Be AT WORK
Iowa Miners Will Be Subject to
Discharge for Truancy.
ONE KNOlTY PROBLEM is SOLVED
Resolution Adopted Saturday Provid.
ing Penalty for Failing to Work
Without Notifying Pit Foreman
Probabilities of Settlement.

IFrom Mondays Daily.]
One question that has bothered the
operators who are in session in joint
conference with the Iowa miners at
Des Moines in an attempt to formulate
scale for the government of both
miners and operators during the COM
ing year, was settled satisfactorily to
all concerned last SATURDAY, when the
scale committee succeeded in agree
ing on measure proposed by the OPP
orators and providing for the dis
charge of any miner or employee about
a mine who willfully absents himself
from work for two consecutive days
without notifying the pit foreman.
This removes weight from the
minds of operators like H. l.. Water
man of Ottumwa, the strongest advo-
cate of measure Of this nature in
Iowa. To men who conduct large
mines the question of having the men
report regularly for work every morn
ing is one which causes no little wor-
ry. Now that this measure is passed
in this state the operators will no
doubt feel more like acceding in some
degree to the miners demands for
shot firers and other demands which
they are making.
Changes for the Better.
The spirit of the convention this
year has been one which should in
spire hope in all who are connected
with mining in the state. Although
the critical time has now arrived.when
either one side or the other must re-
treat from the stand that has been TAX
en-. if there is to be an agreement
such retreat does not now seem SO
improbable as it did few days ago.
This fact is eXemplified in the fact
that the miners, agreeing with the
operators that some relief should be
given the companies from the liabil-
ity of losing several dollars because
of the failure of some of the men to
report for work, have passed the reso-
luton mentioned above which is much
stronger than they at first said they
would favor, and at the same time is
not as strong as the one on which the
operators at first insisted.
So much has been said of late re-
garding shot firers by almost every
paper in the state that nothing more
remains to explain the situation. The
miners are row agitating the question
of once a day shooting in connection
with that of shot firers although il they
gain victory in the latter issue they
will not press the once day firing
matter hard. Their claim is that in
mines where firing is twice day,
once at noon and once at night, the
powder smoke in which the miner has
| to work throughout the afternoon is
very injurious to his health, and they
think they should have relief. They
claim that with once a day firing as
much coal can be mined and brought
| to the top as when firing is done twice
day and they claim also that the work
of the miner in all particulars will be
more satisfactory than now. The op-
orators in Iowa realize the sanitary ad-
vantages of once a day firing and
many of the mines are conducted on
the plan for which the miners ask all
over the state.

STAMPS ON DEEDS.
Recent Ruling by Revenue Officials Re-
garding the Stamp Tax.


J. w. Yerkes, commissioner of inter-
nal revenues, in the last bulletin from
his Office, made a decision which is of
general interest inasmuch as it relates
to the stamp tax on coEveyances. 1t
is easily understood and explains it.
self:
The amount of consideration stated
in a conveyance of real property will
ordinarily be taken as the basis of
stamp tax, unless such amount as stat
ed is manifestly merely nominal, or
less than the real amount.
If the amount of consideration stat
ed is merely nominal, or less than the
actual amount passing, inquiry must
be made in regard to the actual consid-
Grafton passing, and if ascertained, the.
conveyance must be stamped accord,
ing to such actual consideration If,
for any reason, the actual considera-
ton passing can not be ascertained, the
value of the realty conveyed, as de-
termined by competent evidence, must
be taken as the basis of the stamp tax
Where it is alleged by the parties to
conveyance that the consideration
stated therein Is in excess of the ac-
tual consideration passing for such
conveyance, the fact may be establish
ed by the affidavit of both parties and
the same attached to the conveyance,
and the instrument stamped according
to the real consideration.

Yes, said the western man, there are
several patches of country still left out
our way that will support a few mil
lion people each. There is little sec
ton up in Wyoming, for instance,
known as the Big Horn Basin, which
has just been opened up by new line
of the Burlington railroad. 1t covers
about $4,000 square miles. It's larger
than New York state. Three times as
large as Denmark. Twice as large as
Bavaria. 1t is covered with beautiful
streams, never-failing water supply
and the soil is as rich as any in the
world The possibilities for irriga-
ton there are enormous and three big
irrigation bitches are built already.

IOWA is AGAIN IN THE LEAD.
Census Returns Show Iowa First in
the Chicken Industry.

The census report shows that of the
5,739,657 farms in the United States,
5,O96,252 report poultry. The total
number of fowls, three months old and
over We're as follows: Chickens, in
Guiding guinea fowls, 233, 597 0S5; tur.
keys, 6,599,S67; geese, 5,676,S63; ducks.
4,S07,35S. The numbers of nearly all
of these classes of poultry are smaller
as reported in 1900 than in 1890, owing
to the fact that in 1890 they reported
all fowls of whatever age, while in
1900 only those three months old and
over We're reported.
The eggs produced in 1899 were l..
293 ,Sl9,1S6 dozen, against S19,722,916
dozen in 1889. An increase in the
number of eggs produced, rather than
an increase in the number of different
kinds of fowls, marks the progress of
this branch of industry. The value OF
poultry on hand June /. 1900, was $685.
794,996; the value of poultry raised in
1899 was $136,S9l ST., and the value of
eggs produced in 1899 was $144,2S6-
1853. The total income derived by the
farmers from their poultry industry in
1899, representing the total value o
eggs produced as we'll as the poultry
raised, was $2S1 ,17S035. This total
makes the poultry industry one of the
largest connected with agriculture.
The foregoing figures do not include
any statistics of poultry and eggs
raised outside of the farms and ranges.
Iowa leads the states in the number
of chickens, including guinea fowls,
having 1S,907,673. Illinois is second
with 16600,728. Texas leads in the
number of turkeys, with 64S.671: Mis-
souri, is second with 466,665. Kentucky
leads in the number of geese, having
SAL ,576; Missouri is second with 42S,-
307. Iowa raises the largest number
Of ducks, reporting 4S7,752; Illinois
second with 3S2,S57. Iowa reports the
largest value of poultry on hand June
l, 1900, being s6,535, 469; Illinois is sec
ond with $6.415033. Illinois reports
the largest value of poultry raised in
1899, $11,307 500; Iowa second with
$9,491,s19. Iowa reported the greatest
number of eggs produced, 99621. 92O
dozen; Illinois reports the second larg-
est number, S6,402.670 dozen.
