justified by developments.
And now there comes from another
section of the Union a Belgian hare
story which is almost as interesting as
the controversy which the little animal
caused in Maine, few years ago. Out
in the state of Washington, there was
not long ago a similar Belgian hare
craze, and a number Of Indians In the
Occur D'Alene reservation purchased
some hares for pets. Now 1t seems
that the Indians are too superstitiOuS
to kill a rabbit, or hare, as it causes
bad luck, and so the Belgians were al
lowed to multiply without limit, and
where there were e1ly . few pairs, half
a dozen years ago, there are now hun
dreds of thousands of them. The
farmers in that section of the state are
getting much alarmed over the growing
nuisance Great fields of grain have
been destroyed and all kinds of damage
done in fields and gardens. A Seattle
paper says the farmers are planning to
organize a drive and have a wholesale
slaughter Of the animals, in spite of the
opposition of the noble red men. So
it seems that Maine was more fortu-
nate in it's recovery from the Belgian
hare craze than was the state Of Wash

Mr. johnson, yesterday, in conversa-

been given Z more hearty and cordial
reception than was accorded u oy
President Roosevelt. Not only did ne
receive us in the warmest possloie

and while he did not commit himself we

not taken down in writing at the time.

Our delegation was so pleased with the
cordial and courteous reception accord
ed us by President Roosevelt that,
upon leaving him, we gave him three
1Ousing cheers. Everyone of us will
cherish the memory of the hour and Il
half passed with Mr.. Roosevelt upon
that occasion as one of the pleasantest
of our lives, and it is not surprising
perhaps that we should feel i'll
dignant at the attempt of certain
Democratic papers to make it APP
pear that the Presidents merited
criticism of Mr.. Whitney took the
form of an affront to the members OF

be further from the truth. We left
the White House delighted with the
exceedingly pleasant call we had en-
loyed, and unanimous in the opinion
that President Roosevelt was all right.

dentists bills of $1,000 are rare, even in

BONANZA CIRCLE
 DIRECTORS MEET
RESULT OF DELIBERATIONS or LONG MEETING NOT
 MADE PUBLIC.
Unanimous Sentiment Said to Exist in the Copper Country Against Con solidation--Not Believed Probable it Will Come About. q

Calumet. Mich. July 1.-Directoss |of the Bonanza Circle properties held a long session today. What decisions were arrived at the public is as yet not informed.
 It is known that the matter of con solidation came up. and it is said that lit was the principal theme of the meeting. It is also known that the directors were made aware of strong opposition to the plan on the part of the Lake Copper country stockholders. This opposition amounts to almost an unanimous protest, the feeling in | this respect appearing to have grown
 until it has wiped out practically ali sentiment in the opposite direction that may have obtained at the time the idea of consolidation was first ad- vanced by the friends who still stand
 with it.
 In view of this condition of affairs it is considered highly improbable at | tie l resent time that the directors of
 the Bonanza Circle will force the issue
 to the end of attempting to bring
 about the proposed consolidation, at
 least at an early date.
 Facts regarding the action of the
 directors today, with reference to any

 posed to have had under considera- tion have been kept entirely under
