Committee Fails to Meet

The house committee on public ac-
counts was to have met yesterday aft
ernoon to consider mineral leases which
1t had been claimed by the former pub
lie examiner had been issued without
proper legal warrant. The committee
failed to get a quorum. The fact that
the attorney general had instituted a
suit to cancel the Mabel Evans lease
and contract about which the greatest
complaint had been made, may have
had something to do with the failure of
the committee to take UP its burden.

VETERINARY HOSPITAL
PLANS ARE BLOCKED

Because of objections lodged with
him by those in charge of the Cretin
school, Building Inspector L. w. Rund-
lett has written to DR.. Richard Price
that the building which the doctor is
erecting at Sixth and Fort streets may
not be used as veterinary hospital
unless the consent of the city council is
first obtained.
The objectors claim that veterinary
hospitals come under the same provi-
sions as other hospitals, in that they
may not be erected without the consent
of the council.

United Verde.

We are surprised to note Ari- zona newspapers quoting a Los Angeles papers dissertation on
 Lawson's article anent the pro- duction of the United Verde mine.
 Lawson made the statement that the United Verde's net production per year reached ten millions of dollars. To this the Los Angeles paper took exception, pointing out that the smelter produced only 1000, 900 pounds of copper per year and that at thirty cents per pound it would make only a gross total of nine millions of dollars. Now, while this is true, it is also true that the United Verde ore carries gold and silver values in excess of thirty dollars per gross ton, which taken with the great tonnage handled, would be far in excess of all the copper values. United Verde ore carries about I6o pounds of copper to the gross ton, which at the present selling price of that metal would be worth about twenty-five dollars. Taking the production of 30, o,ooo,- 900 pounds as a base the gross tonnage of ore must be in excess of POO, ,ooo tons yearly, which the alfalfa papers overlook entirely. The mine may not produce quite as much money as Lawson at tributes to 1t, but the discrepancy is very slight. Mohave Miner.

The members of the territorial republican central committee, of New Mexico, have been called to meet in Albuquerque, on Novem- Der 10. The purpose of the meet ing is reported to be the consider ton of proposal that the com mittee publish an official protest against the passage of a joint statehood bill. The rest of the joint statehood advocates in AL buquerque are shaking in their shoes for fear the committee will declare against joint statehood. It is noticeable of late that the joint statehood newspaper advo- cates are getting more reasonable in their arguments and may have had "hunch" that joint statehood is not practical, a thing they should have known all the time.

Not Decided.

A press report from Nebraska City, on Tuesday, says: Paul lessen, recently appointed a mem Der of the territorial court of Ari- zona, to take the place of Judge Tucker, removed, returned home this evening from his honeymoon, which was spent on the Pacific coast. Judge lessen is not yet decided in his own mind whether he will accept the Arizona appoint ment or not. He stopped in Lin coln and Omaha on his way home with his bride, to consult with friends in those cities, but in both places he made the statement that he would not decide until after he had reached his home town,
 His friends say that the salary of S3,o ,ooo is little more than he is now receiving as judge of this dis trict, and that his political future in Nebraska is bright one, which might be jeopardized by long term away from the state.

The cattlemen have obtained from the department of the interior a concession that is of great inn portance to them and will encour- age the small cattle owners near, and on forest reserves. r. is a modification of the order to charge 20. to B cents per head per season for cattle grazing on forest re- serves. Upon vigorous represen- tations of the cattlemen, a new order will be promulgated on No vember IS, reducing the proposed charge to 10 cents per head and making no charge for the first one hundred cattle of the stockman de- string grazing privileges on the re- serve. However, no modification of the order appertaining to sheep and goats was obtained, and it be- hooves the sheep growers to get together and to press their protests as the cattlemen have done.

Two thousand butchers from all over the German Empire, as- sembled in convention at Berlin, have adopted resolutions which declare that a sufficient number of cattle to meet the demand are not obtainable in that country, and asking that the tariff bars be let down in order that a meat famine may be avoided. Such action on the part of the German govern ment would be very much to the liking of the American farmers, who can always be relied on to have a supply of cattle for sale, and who are not averse to reaping advantages of increased market facilities.

The showing made by Morris and
Stevens county is not fattering, and
a closer scrutiny of the returns yields
still less cause for self-congratula-
ton. The increase in the whole
county has been 1913 in five years, a
gain of only 5. 6 per cent.
Where Have the Farmers Gone?
Closer scrutiny of the figures
shows that of the 493 gain in the
whole county, 40 has been in the
villages alone, giving a net gain in
the Is townships of 50 persons.
This is not even the natural increase,
and we are therefore forced to the
conclusion that there are less farmers
in Stevens county today than there
would have been had their been
neither immigration nor emigration
during the past five years. In other
words more farmers have moved out
of Stevens county than have moved
in.
In fact, six of the townships
among them some of the best-show
loss during the last five years,
and one of Observation-Disclosures
the surprising loss of 100. 1t would
seem as tho there were some error
in this report, but if there is an
error, we have been unable to find
it. The six townships show an
aggregate loss of 267, and three of
them-Horton, Stevens and Swan
Lake-even fall below what they
were ten years ago.

much affected by this evidence of the
respect in which he is held and could
hardly find words to respond Mr..

announce that his business interests

Morris Behind the Others.

Tho Morris is the largest mnnici-
pality in the county. her gain is less
both relatively and actually than
any of the others. Hancock stands
at the head with a gain l48, Don
nelly next with 1O6, Chokio next
with 81, and Morris last with So.
Just why this is so we do not know,
but we do know that the outside
merchants try hard to draw farmers
to their town to trade, and when a
farmer gets ready to move to town,
he usually goes to the town where he
is best acquainted.
It has been often said, but it will
bear repeating, that Morris has
about reached the limit of her growth
unless some concerted effort is made
to draw small factories here.
The remarkable showing on the
farms is due to the fact that many
of the farmers of five and ten years
ago have sold out and moved away
and in their stead, the land is owned
by "speculators" that is, non resident
owners. There are over $50 persons
scattered over southern Minnesota,
Iowa, and Illinois, who own all the
way from a quarter to several sec
tions Of Stevens county land. 1t is
estimated that among them, they
own over one-fourth of the county,
The land in the hands of these non
residents is for the most part vacant,
and only partially cultivated, so
that not only The population, but
also the production, is decreased,
The land boom between 1895 and
1900 was benefit to the county in that
it brought in great many farmers
who saw what a bargain this land
was at that price. Large farms were
cut up into smaller ones, and both
the population and production OF
the county was increased. But the
land boom between 1900 and 1905
was not an unmixed blessing, for
during that time, large amount OF
good Stevens COUNTY land passed
from the hands of the resident farmer
to the hands of the non resident
investor. Not until this investor
sells to a farmer who will move on
the land, or moves here himself,
will matters stand as they should.
