WALKERS COPPER LETTER
 TELLS OF SITUATION
MARKET CONTINUES INACTIVE
 AND PRICES UNCHANGED.
Producers Are Willing to Sell Copper at Price for Shipment in March, April and Msy-Tom Cole President of keweenaw.

The copper market continues inac- tive with prices unchanged. Lake and electrolytic are holding at lS14 to IS 3-4 cents per pound, IS 1-2 cents being the lowest quotation at which any Considerable amount could be purchased. There are practically no offerings of round lots for immediate delivery. Producers are willing to sell copper at a price for shipment in March, April and May. Consumers, on the other hand, have been dazed to some extent by the bearish agita. tion and are refraining from making new contracts for advance account.
 The dullness of the market does not indicate any falling off in consump- tion. More copper is going into the melting pot every day than at any pre- vious time in the history of the trade. The current supplies, however, repre- sents deliveries on contracts made one to four months ago. There is no clog ging or hesitation at the smelters and refineries, as consumers are urging quick delivery on old contracts which cover every pound of available copper that is coming from the mines.
 There is the best of reason for the belief that some of the largest con- suming interest will come into the market for supplies within two or three weeks, and there is every indi- cation at present that they will pay IS 1-2 cents per pound for copper to be delivered in the late spring and early summer months.
 Aside from the continued rapid ad- vance of Bingham and the slightly in- creased strength in Franklin, the local copper share situation has developed no new features. The public and the day-to-day traders are generally in- clined to take profits and wait for a reaction. Tn fact, there is more or less bearish sentiment everywhere. The larger traders regard this as the best possible evidence of strength, and are buying stocks confidently on slight reactions. The market can best be described as one which has not yet discontinued 15-cent copper mar

the trade was good and the list resist ed pressure. The week end statistics were about a stand off.
 Messages on the spot situation were encouraging, and receipts show a tendency to dwindle. Conditions point to continued steadiness, as spin rers are good buyers.
 Ned York, Feb. 17.-Dick Bros. stock letter says: Urgent liquidation and a bear pounding caused sharp break in stocks today. There were only slight rallies at the closing. The heaviest selling was in stocks like U. F., Amalgamated, U. s. Steel and Reading, but the sharpest breaks were in specialties life c. F. l., Shelter, B. R. T., etc. After the closing there was a feeling that liquidation had been and that the large short interest puts the market in a position to rally sharply. There was no ini-i portant news.

MARKET GOSSIP.
Week Closes With
 Market Strenqtheninu,

The week closes with a firm CT undertone and higher prices. The reaction seems to have gone its limit. and believe we will see a scramble to buy stocks back that were sold on the bulge. We believe next week will see considerable ac- tivity, and all stocks sell con- siderably higher, regardless of intrinsic merits, though it is well to carry only those with some known value.
 Yesterdays market opened slightly weak. but toward noon the entire list took on life and closed strong. Junction and c. & P. still continue to be the favorites, both having gain ed a point for the day.
 Warren and American are also in good demand, with none to be had at anything like bid prices. Black Mountain held an important position in the market yesterday, and bids of s12.50 failed to locate any of this stock. w. & A. is also being held close awaiting devel- opments which should bring good news for this property most any time.

In MemOriam.

Mrs. Anna M. Reese, daughter of
Thomas G. and Nancy Upton Johnson,
was born at Elizabetnton, Tenn, De-
cember 10, 1843, was married to d. N.
Reese December 10, 1864, Rev. Peter
W. Emmert officiating.
Sister Reese came of a Baptist fami-
ly, but having married a Methodist she
felt it her duty to cast her lot with the
Methodist church. In 1867, after the
deadly noise of the civil war had died
away, and the clounds of destruction
had been lifted from our beloved land
by the hand of the divine, the church
was recognized at Elizabethton and
she, with her husband, joined the
church at that place and remained a
member of the same until her death,
December 20, 1905, which occurred al
her home, Watauga, Tenn.
The writer of this sketch was her
pastor for four years, during which
time he received many kindnesses al
her hands. Sister Reese was in poor
health for number of years, during
the last two years of her life suffer d a
great deal. SO intense was her suffer.
ing that many times she expressed o
desire to lay down life with its burdens.
She was devoted to her family, ano
about her last care was, as Christmas
was approaching, the time which com.
memorates Gods richest gift to the
world, the selecting of presents for hel
children and grandchildren. This she
did with the request that no presents
be bought for her, as she did not expect
to be with them Christmas.
Her body was laid to rest in the Gem.
etery at Elizabethtop, the home of hel
childhood, on December 25.
AS death approached she was told
that she had but few hours in which
to live, and was asked if she was ready
Her answer was. Eyes, ready and will
ing" She leaves devoted and noble
husband aud four children to mourn
| her death. The God of all grace lool
upon them in their affection and brine

Sage, the Sign Board.

Most men die too young.
just as they have learned how
to live and how to make money
they die. | am going to live a
hundred years"
So declares Russell Sage, the
stingiest millionaire in the world.
He is 90 years old.
Mind you, he has not lived 90
years. He has learned how to
make money, but he has never
learned how to live. And should
he stay on earth his hundred
years he will not know how to
live. Not in a thousand years.
AS an illustration:
Mr.. Sage has never taken a
vacation. He does rot believe
in vacations. Think OF the fun
he has missed. His only happi-
ness consists in drawing direc-
tors per diem and loaning mon
ey.
And he calls this living!
If you were to ask him the Diff
ference between making a living
and making a life, between make
ing money and making happi-
ness, he could not tell you. He
knows no difference.
And So
When he sees men dying all
about him-men rich in good
works and service for their fell
lows he pities them most OF all
because they cannot live longer
and learn to make more money!
"Most men die too young?'
Yes, they do. And we cannot
understand why the lives ofgood
men and useful men are cut short.
Nor why the candles OF such as
Russell Sage should be allowed
to burn to their sockets.
Except, it may be-
That destiny keeps the sordid
man as a sign board pointing to
the realm of mean heartedness.
Doubtless it hesitates to take
away the post which supports
the board with it's warning ting-
er.-Daily News.

Demonstration Farms Located.

The Agricultural College is
glad to annotYAce that arrange
ments have) zen completed vita
the North Il Pacific and Great
Northern railroads for the estab.
lishment OF three demonstration
farms along each line ofrailroad.
President Worst made final ar.
rangements for the establish
ment of the farm with the com.
panies last week and he and Pro
tessorSheppard are now engaged
in opening operations at the
points where the farms are to be
located. On the Great Northern
road, Ross, Ward county, Gran.
vile, McHenry county, and La
kota, Nelson county, will each be
the station OF a farm, while those
on the Northern Pacific will be
located Beach, Billings county,
probably New Salem, in Morton
county, and Bismarck in Bur
leigh county.
The object OF the establish
ment OF the farms is primarily
one OF information for the farm
ers OF the state. Systems OF
crop rotation and soil culture
are to be thoroughly set forth
and in the experiment the rails
ing OF corn and clover, and per-
haps another leguminous plant,
will be fully tested. The system
OF crop rotation will run for a
period of five years, that is, will
return to corn every fifth year,
and results will be contrasted
with the results of farming as
generally carried on in the sur
rounding country.
The constant growing OF wheat
and other nitrogen exhausters
on the soils of the state is being
rapidly discontinued and the sys-
TENS which will be employed on
the farms Just established will
demonstrate the proper methods
for the farmer to follow.
1t is understood that Earnest
Schollander; now a student at
the College, has been engaged to
superintend the work of the sew
eral farms and he will enter upon
his duties soon after his gradual
ton in June.

Tells of the EarIy DAYS.

Ed. Booth, the taxidermist,
tells, in an interesting manner,
Of his early days spent in Ward
county. He was one of the first
men on the frontier. He came
from Fort Stephenson on snow
shoes in the winter of1SS2. Dur
ing the entire winter they receiv-
ed their mail but once, when a
half-breed volunteered togo with
sleds after it. He drove six dogs.
They paid 25 cents apiece to
have letters delivered. Mr.. Booth
spent the winter hunting and
fishing. and took both fish and
furs clear to Bismarck to sell
them. 1t took seventeen days
to make the trip to Bismarck
and return and often the snow
was terrible deep in the coulees.
1t was not uncommon for a man
to perish in the deep SHOWS. In
one OF the coulees near Minot,
one spring, twenty-five deer and
a man were found frozen to
death. Mr.. Booth tells of TAX
ing in one load to Bismarck 200
fish.
