STRENGTH OF MEN AND OXEN.
Bulk for Bulk, the Former Are the

Stronger.
Few people know that man, bulk
for bulk is stronger than an OK, but
1T appears that such is the case. The
matter was tested not long since at a
fair in America, one of the attractions
of which was contest Of a yoke OF
oxen against an equal weight of men.
A drag was loaded with granite blocka,
weighing in the aggregate 1850
pounds The yoke OF oxen that made
the trial weighed 1920 pounds, and
twenty men, allowing 100 pounds to
the man, were set against them. The
men took hold of the drag first, and
easily walked off with it, covering a
distance of 95 feet in the space of two
minutes. The oxen at their trial moved
only eighty-fve feet in the same length
of time, and the men were accordingly
declared winners.-Pearson's Weekly.

WANT CAMPAIGN DELAYED
Candidates Do Not Want to Go on
Hastings Until April LIST.

Several OF the prospective candi-
dates for county and precinct offices
had meeting at the court house
last night for the purpose of discuss
ing the coming camp align. Several
talks were made, but on account of
the out-of-town candidates not being
present, nothing of definite nature
was agreed upon. Another meeting
has been called for next Monday
morning, at which time it is hoped
that all who expect TO stand for an
office next year will be present.
In talking with some of the pros
peCtive candidates this morning the
reporter found that the majority of
them were heartily in favor Of de-
laying the opening of the campaign
until about April LIST, Under the
Terrell election law, state primaries
will be uniform, that is, they will be
held the same day in every county
in the state. The date for the state
prim airy next year will be Saturday,
July 9th, and it is claimed by some
of the seekers after office that Jan
uarv LIST is too early to start the po-
litical pot to boiling. 1t is urged by
some that to delay the campaign
will be better for both the candi-
dates and the voters, as by April
the farmers will have fhpir WORK
fairly under way and they will then
have more time to read campaign
literature and listen to political
speeches. A late campaign, they
say, will also be a saving to the
candidate, Of both time and money,
and three months is plenty Of time
for good hustler to see every voter
in Ellis county.

German Government Silent.

Berlin.-The German government is
completely silent as to when the block
ade will be raised, or whether it will
be raised at all, until every question
concerning arbitration is settled. The
acceptation of arbitration after the
blockade was declared is not received
with popular favor in Germany.
General Won Boguslawski, one of the
foremost military writer's. contributes
to the Rundschau his views upon the
Monroe doctrine. He says the with
drawal of the blockade at this stage
would show singular weakness. He
quotes the late Prince Bismarcks ex,
preston that the Monroe doctrine was
"a great piece of impudence."

Stole Northport SmeIter Gold.

ROssland, B. C.-Peter Swanson a
saloonkeeper from Northport, Wash,
was arrested here on the charge of
having stolen goods in his possession.
His arrest is the outcome of a cam
paign against a ring of thieves who
have been stealing matte from the
Northport smelter for some time. The
matte is valued at from $3.50 to $1,000
per pound and it is an easy matter
for men about the works to put a
pound or two in their pockets. This
has been done and the swag traded
at saloons about Northport until the
practice became notorious.
Swanson's place was well known
fence for stolen matte, and when Swan
son came to Rossland he had about
100 pounds Of the stuff valued at $1,000,
in his possession. John S. Ingram,
chief of police, made the arrest, and
Swanson was promptly arrained on a
charge of having stolen goods in his
possession. He pleaded guilty to the
charge. The maximum penalty is IA
years Imprisonment. He implicated
others.

B|NGER HERMANN RESIGNS
GIVES UP OFFICE OF LAND COM.
MISSIONER FEB. FIRST.
He Was Lax in His Methods-Charqes
Against Two of His Subordinate Of.
fcials-His Successor Will Be w. A.
Richards, His First Assistant
Hitchcock and Hermann at Outs.

Washington.-Bin Hermann
commissioner of the general land of
flee, has resigned and will be succeed
ed by William A. Richards, now the
assistant commissioner of the genera
land office. The change will take eff
feet February /, said Commissioner
Hermann.
Mr.. Hermann's resignation was re
quested about two weeks ago by the
secretary of the interior and was i'm
mediately presented. Charges have
been preferred against two of the sub
ordinate officials OF the land office in
volying alleged irregularities and they
have been given a specific time in
which to make answer
The two officials are Harry King and
Fred Metzger, assistant chief of the
draughtsmen's division of the govern
ment land office. The former is charg-
ed with neglect of duty and the latter
with mismanagement and unsatisfac-
tory administration of his duties.
tory administration of his duties Mr..
Metzger was formerly from Kansas
and was once chief clerk of the gen.
eral land office.
The relations between Secretary
Hitchcock and Commissioner Her
mann have been strained for a long
time.
Land Commissioner Hermanns lax
ness in enforcing the land laws has
brought the latter's resignation about,
the secretary of the interior believing
that the timber and stone frauds par
ticularly were the result of the loose
ness of Hermann's methods. Many
errors, the result of careless examina-
ton of records in cases submitted by
local land officers, were approved and
passed by the general land office and
were not detected until they reached
the secretary's office for approval.
The secretary also believes that the
commissioner has allowed sentiment to
play too large a part in the settlement
Of cases, the commissioner at times so
literally constituting the law as to al
most nullify it. Local land offices
have been SO often reversed in their
decisions that they were compelled to
fall into line with Hermann's general
policy, to which the secretary attrib-
utes many abuses now existing.
Secretary Hitchcock has ordered an
extensive investigation of the work of
two of Hermann's subordinates and
extremely interesting developments
are expected

Neutrality-suspicious. opposi-
ton is developing to the ratification
of the Cuban reciprocity treaty now
pending in the senate. 1t is not TAX
ing quite the form that the opposition
TO the Cuban legislation took last
spring, but 1t is sufficient in substance
to give concern to the friends of the
treaty.
From time to time as opportunity Of
fers the president is discussing the
matter with senator's, particularly
those who are known to have objected
to legislation extending tariff conces-
sions to the Cuban republic. Several
weeks ago it appeared that the treaty
when presented to the senate would
be ratified without difficulty but some
senators now are taking as strong
grounds against the treaty as they
TOOK against the legislation proposed
at the last session of congress. These
senators are OF two classes, those who
are opposed on principle to any tariff
tlnkering," and those who represent
states whose products may be affected
by the concessions extended to Cuba
by the pending treaty.

BEST YEAR Of PROSPERITY.
TRADE OF THE NATION IN 1902
THE LARGEST YET.
Every Branch of Ordinary Trade and
Manufacture Shows an Increase
Above Previous Years-RaiIroads
Couldn't Handle the Business
WAGES Were Generally Increased
and Hours Shortened.

New rk.-Bradstreet's review of
the business year, to be issued Satur-
day next, will have the following;
To say that 1902 was the best year
this country has ever experienced,
while entirely truthful enough in the
main. does not suggest fully the enor-
nous strides Wnlcn tne UnIted states
TOOK in the year Just Closed Flacti-
cally every Drancn Oh ordinary trade
and manufacture shows a nlncrease
above the best previous years, anu YET
this immense enlargement Oh output
was not sunicient Oh itself To satisfy
the growing-it might be termed lu-
satiaDle-demand ror ali KINDS OF ma
terials. In many cases the usual tor
eign outlet Tor our products was, per.
force, neglected by American proauc-
ers, who confined their enorts 10 sup
plying insistenL domestic demand,
while in others foreign production was
called upon to reinforce domestic out
put, with the result that new currents
and channels were created in our TOR
eign trade. Our export trade, there
fore expanded to unprecedented hg-
ures.
Inc railroads of the country, in their
efforts 10 handle the business offered
them, suffered as never before from
congestion and complaint of interior
ence with production and distribution
a nrnbnRfG nf tho tho n
the shop and the loom was practically
universal. Industrial unrest was nat
urally Marked as it always is either
in times OF prosperity or OF depression,
and serious disorganization OF some OF
the countrys basic industries resulted
for time. In many cases resort TO
extremes was rendered unnecessary
by liberal recognition by employers OF
changes in the standard of living, and
it is safe to say that two men obtain
ed higher wages or had their working
hours reduced without resort to strikes
for every one who actually quit work.
Speculation, it is true, felt the
checks imposed upon it by conserva-
tism, by snort crops in the preceding
year, and last, but not least, by high
rates for money; but despite the fact
that stock market operations were
only about one half of 1901 bank clear
lngs, those usually reliable guides of
business showed aggregates practical
ly equal to the hitherto unheard of
totals of 1901, All this was accom-
plished with a minimum of friction, as
reflected in the form of business en-
barrassments.
