INDUSTRY IN NEARLY ALL LINES
STILL PUSHED TO LIMIT
OF PRODUCTION.
Big HOLIDAY BUSINESS
Closing Of a Season Of Plenteous Pro-
duetion and an Immense In
dustrlal Activity, Says
Bradstreet.

New York - BTadstreet says:
Though checked in some sections by
irregular weather conditions, trade is
active as a whole, holiday demand
is opening up earlier than usual, in
dustry in nearly all lines is still pushed
to the limit of production and little
relief from the prevailing car conges-
ton is yet apparent, despite the fact
that the movement Of certain crops to
market is smaller than usual at this
season. Despite the approach OF the
close of the season of outdoor activi-
ties, there is still general complaint
of the scarcity of labor, and railways,
mills and factories are conceding ad-
Vances in wages to hold their help,
without however, entirely satisfying
demands presented.
Record Holiday Trade.
A season of plenteous production Of
Immense industrial activity, and OF
great financial operations is apparent
ly closing with a record holiday trade
beginning earlier than usual.
The grain markets have displayed
fair steadiness, with few fluctuations
on continued light movement from the
producing centers, part of which Is
attributed to the car congestion. The
feeling grows, however, that the mill
ing wheat production in the northwest
has been overestimated.
Cooler weather has stimulated de-
,mand for coal, and the only complaint
now is of insufficient transportation
facilities.
Hides are scarce and high, and
leather prices tend upward Coal has
been helped by cold weather. Build
ing is rather quiet and materia- are
not very active, although lumDer is
In fair request.
A Leading Feature.
In textiles the strength Of the de-
mand and prices for cotton goods is
still the leading feature, although
growing firmness in wooden goods and
raw wool is also to be noted. Higher
prices for cotton and stiff prices for
wool have apparently caused a
Strengthening tendency in mixed fab.
RIGS for mems wear Reports of ac-
tivity at other eastern wool markets
and better demand for wooden goods
have made firmer feeling in wool
prices generally.
Metal Prices Advancing.
Pig iron prices are still advancing
at some markets, the changes rang
ing from 25c at Philadelphia to 81
per ton at Chicago The demand for
prompt supplies is very strong and
prices depend largely on the urgency
of the buyers needs. Bessemer and
open hearth billets are very scarce
and Bessemer is up 81 a ton. Demand
for steel rails continue comparatively
active, and many roads are supple
menting their early orders for 1907
Structural material is in good request.
Steel plates are up 80 a ton.

The Christmas CIT.

Some good people condemn all Christ
mas giving, because so many make it a
senseless fad.
1t is true that perhaps most
giving of Christmas gifts is far from in
keeping with the real spirit of the sa-
cred day or in accord with reason.
Gifts made for the sake of ostenta-
tious display Of means, or for the dis
charge Of some obligation, or because
something is expected in return, are
worse than vulgar at time when en-
tirely different motives should hold
sway and entirely different feelings find
expressions.
But in this there is no good ground
for general condemnation Of all Christ
mas giving.
Giving has its source in the best part
of our nature.
1t is the sweetest expression of our
best feeling
1t can be no more restrained than can
the waters of spring; and human life
would be as desolate without the one
as would be the earth without the other
Where we love we give, and the Civ
ing is the sweetest part of loving.
Gladness and gratitude ever seek
some more tangible form of expression
than mere words, and finds it in gifts.
Christmas itself is but an observance
of the greatest and divinest gift ever
made to the world.
SO there is plenty of justification for
Christmas giving that is done in the
right spirit.
But the spirit of giving is more inn
portant than the gift itself.
Some mere triie of trnket may
serve to express remembrance and af-
lection that give joy and cheer to a
heart through whole lifetime, while a
costly bauble may express only tenn
porary interest and qualification.
There are gifts for the eyes
And there are gifts for the heart.
There are gifts to be worn on the
breast, or the neck, or the hands.
And there are gifts to be carried in
the soul. - Elk.

The Wage Question.

-Galena Tribune: A great deal Of
complaint is being registered by mine
owners all over the district against min
ers employed underground. 1t is said
that the unusual conditions existing in
the labor market is responsible for an
inferior class Of labor from some of our
best paid miners.
A boss comes along and issues in
structions to his men and if the task
seems irksome there is open rebellion
and frequently the boss is told he can
get some one else. The miner knows he
can go over to the next mine and go 70
work at the best wages that have been
paid.
One old miner who has owned mines
for years and who has been miner
says that when his men only received
ST. day the dirt just flew out of the
mine and he got better returns day by
day than he is getting now where the
men get $500 to So. 80 per day.
All this will be responsible for the
introduction OF cheaper labor for if adj
vanced wages are going to give us
class of inferior miners perhaps cheap
er men at lower wages will givesus the
results necessary when present day
equipment and methods are considered.

The Linden Mines,

The Southwest Wisconsin,
A big strike has been made on the
Will Carrow farm, north of town, at a
depth of about 100 feet. VIM Ross, of
the Ross mine, was up to look at the
sludgings last Saturday, and he ex-
pressed the opinion that it was the rich
est strike made in this district.
Lead and Jack have been found in
large quantities in eight holes on the
Jim Tregear farm. Prospecting is be-
ing pushed by the Bob-Tailed Mining
company.
The body of jack which was opened
up at the Weigle last week continues to
look better the farther they go into it.
The Platteville-Linden Co. is one of the
best organized companies in this section.
The Trio shaft is down over rs feet
and the prospect is looking extra good.
There is some talk of disseminating
drilling until the ground around the new
shaft is proven up.
Ross Bros. are shipping 200, 600 lbs. of
jack this week. This is not a part of
their 300-ton pile, but is all milled ore.
They are constantly adding to their
mountain of ore. Surely this is one of
the richest mines in southwestern Wis
consin.
The Granville mill is running at its full
capacity. They have two teams haul
ing ore down from the dumps on the
hill, which has proved to be better than
they expected. Work has not been
started on the incline yet, as the entire
force on top has been working on the
shaft house, in order to get it complet-
ed so that work can be carried on at
two breasts instead of one.

Money and office Seeking.

Within the last month reports clearly
prove that large amounts Of money
were spent during the recent campaign
in this state for election expenses by
candidates for nomination and office. In
some instances the sum spent amounts
to as much or more than the salary OF
the office sought, and in several instan-
ces the amount remaining after deduct
ing election expenses therefrom is a
mere bagatelle. The system is wrong,
carrying with it strong inference that
the honors and salaries of offices are
not the only inducements they hold out;
it is in no small measure responsible
for vices in public life. History demon
strates that such investments are more
often expected to bear fruit at the ex-
pense of the public.
In republic candidate for office
should appeal to the intelligence and
patriotism Of the voter by addresses
and literature. This would involve ex-
pense, of course, but of the legitimate
order. With this plan in operation, as
a patriot citizen has already declared,
"a man with the necessary qualiflca-
tions to serve the people as public
officer would stand some show of cleo
ton against both the prohigate born to
wealth and the plant tool of greed who
is furnished his campaign expenses.
Legislation that will forbid the expen-
diture of money, except for stated le-
climate purposes, either by a candidate
or his friends, under fine or penalty, or
both, should serve to check greatly the
banefu influence which the filthy lu-
ere" has in American politics.

The statistics about reading a dairy
paper that the paper alludes to were col

New York, Pennsylvania, Vermont and
Connecticut. Nearly fifteen hundred
dairy farmers were visited and COM

With each one it was ascertained ii he
read dairy paper or not. The differ
ence in the profits of those men who
read Hoard's Dairyman over those who
did not read ran as high in some cases
as six dollars per COW. There is good
reason for this. The man that is well
