A SQUEEZE IN LONDON.
Affecting the Market for Both Copper
and Tin.

London, Dec. 16.-The condition of
the tin and copper markets is attract
ing considerable attention. So acute
is the squeeze in tin that the bears
have been transferring the commodity
from Havre to Southampton at a cost
of about Sc per ton. There appears to
be a very large bull account in connec-
ton with Paris operators and thereto
is attributed the present squeeze. A
London house controlling tin has i'm
portant continental connections who
do not desire to realize at the present
juncture.
The recent strength of copper under
the sharp dealings has surprised
everybody; but the market is practical
ly held together by big dealers who
are holders of large quantities of re-
fined copper. Important financial in
terests in London are committed to
the bull interests.
The news that the Great Northern
railroad has ordered 5000 tons of
heavy rails of the United States Steel
trust is arousing bitter animosity
among the British makers, especially
in Sheffield. The manufacturers are
talking of reprisals. A few years
ago when the Great Central purchased
German axles and tires at considerably
below the Sheffield price, the company
was boycotted until it promised not to
repeat the OffenSe.

TOO MANY LAWS.
Recorder Gon Says Better Enforce
ment Is Needed.

New York, Dec. 16.-At a meeting to
discuss preliminaries looking to the for
nation of a civic club on the west side.
Recorder Golf, the venerable jurist of
this city, expressed his views on the
laws and means for their enforcement.
''It is remarkable how our system of
government has failed to enforce the
laws and defeat the will OF the people,"
he said. Il have often wondered
whether the fault was to be placed on
the system or on the people"
He spoke of the good work done by
QuaSi-public bodies and said that il
was a sad commentary on a Republi-
can form of government that the peo-
pie had to have recourse to private
agencies to enforce the laws"
There are, he asserted, too many char
liable organizations in existence and
some of them are not so altruistic in
their purposes as they professed to be.
In conclusion the recorder said:
What needs to be awakened is a
public sentiment for the enforcement of
law. Our public spirit seems to end
when we have passed a law. We have
too many laws now. The chief encour-
agement to the betrayal of the public
interests is the Incidence of the people.
If we looked on the city as a corpora
ton and each citizen as a stakeholder,
We would exhibit more watchfulness
and our board of directors would ex-
hibit a higher sense of responsibility"

MIR. KATTERFELDTs TRIALS.
Salina Paper Gives Interesting Story
About Washburn's Orator.

Friday night, last, at Washburn col
lege at Topeka, at the contest for ora
torical honors, the honor of represent
ing the college at the state contest, the
first prize went to a young German,
Ludwig Katterfeldt, says the Salfna
Daily Union.
One evening a few years ago, stub
by chunk of a. lad on a scrubby little
pony rode into the yard of a farmer
in the north part of Ottawa county and
asked for a job of work. The farmer
had no work at that time and the lad
turned the head of his jaded pony about
and rode away. Something about the
lad attracted the attention of a by
stander and he called to the lad to stop,
alight, put up his pony, have some
supper and stay all night; it was late
and he could resume his search for
work in the morning. The lad said no.
he would go and find work. But the
man was then more determined and
taking the pony by the bride he assist
ed the boy to dismount, showed him the
way to the kitchen and told him the
journey was over for the day and to get
busy for supper and the care of his
pony.
This story cannot be made too long,
it cannot include even the mostinterest-
ing events in the subsequent career Of
this stubby German lad who at that
time insisted that he was about eigh-
teen.
He had ridden that day about thirty
miles looking for work which on ac-
count of his youth and stature had been
denied him. He was minus dinner and
supper up to that time. He insisted
upon keeping on with his search in
spite of the fact that it was about dark
and lad and pony were hungry as you
may imagine. He remained with the
farmer all night. Next day he got work
near by, and proved one of the most
industrious and trusty of boys. He at
tended the country school whenever he
could, getting up very early in the cold
winter mornings, doing the chores and
a lot of other work before time to walk
a mile or two to school; sitting up very
late at night or until the early morning
hours studying his lessons, and the far
mer'S wife would frequently find him
in the morning dressed as the night be
fore stretched across the bed with
book in his hand, having fallen asleep
while studying his lessons. He had no
snap you must understand he was up
against tough proposition. But he
staid with it with that logged deter
mination which has been his trait all
along the way. He was there about two
years and at the county examination of
the second spring he scOoped them all
and had his choice of scholarships,
choosing Washburn. Every dollar he
had he was obliged to earn by hard
work and you may imagine that his
personal expenses were not heavy
He has been at Washburn a number
of years, out of school good deal in
order to work and earn funds. He has
been at all kinds of work at Washburn
since he first started and has had an
all around interesting time, UP and
down. but always coming back to the
first ambition to get through the col
lege.

EXILED BY SCANDAL.
Mrs. Hugh Tevis VIII Hereafter Live
Abroad, Her Father Says.

Denver, Dec. 16.-Ex-Governor
George w. Baxter, of Wyoming, writes
to Denver friends from his present
home in Knoxville. Tenn, that his
daughter, Mrs. Hugh Tevis, will never
return to her native country to live,
but will spend the remainder of her
life abroad. This resolution, he says,
was taken after the scandalous reports
circulated connecting her name with
that of A. Hart Mckee, who, it was al
legged, occupied a stateroom next to
the young widow on their transatlantic
voyage.
"Cornelia,'' Mr.. Baxter writes, twill
spend the greater portion of the bal
ance of her life abroad, simply be-
cause of the intolerable bounding she
has received at the hands of a num-
Der of newspapers, and which I be-
lieve, is inspired and fostered by the
venom and hatred of some of her
enemies"

The next time you go to town get a

around machinery, not forgetting a
can of oil. When the machinery is
brought out of it's winter storing, be-
fore very long, all these things will be
needed, and if on hand will save sew
eral hours time, and perhaps trip
or two to town. There is no spare

Oregon is entitled to early recognition
under the irrigation act, not only be-
cause of the large amount which it has
contributed to the reclamation fund,
but because of the growing necessity
for retaining some of its desert lands
east of the Cascade mountains. The
same statement may be made to apply
to the state of Washington.
