open eye in the hook. The long
instrument used by milliners, the
needle of the rag-baler, the knife
point ham needle used in the stock
yards, the astrakhan medicines
and other varieties do not call for
special notice.
The needle, as we see it today, is
the evolved product of centuries OF
invention. In its primitive form it
was made of bone, ivory, or wood.
The making of Spanish needles was
introduced into England during the
reign of Queen Elizabeth. Point

about better prices for breeding
stock. The establishment of new
flocks and even enhanced prices
will not materially increase the
number of breeding ewes unless
there is a change in the manner oil
selling off the lambs.
The present statistical strength OF
wool is not to be wondered at when
the disappearance of the European
sheep is considered. A Brussels pa
per, commenting on the matter,
says that one of the most remark
able facts of modern times is the
iessening quantities of sheep on the
continent, and also. though not to
such large extent, in Great Bri-
tian. For the last thirty years
sheep have been decreasing, one OF
the chief causes assigned being the
decrease of the pastoral population,
and the land in many cases being
put to other uses.
The figures denote that sheep
have diminished in ten years from
1914, 900, 0O5 to II, 900, 900, reduc-
tion of twenty-five per cent, and in
some countries they have dimin-
ished more quickly than in others.
Germany's supply, for instance, has
been reduced by 90 per cent In
France the decrease began in 1873,
and though not quite so pronounced
as in the other countries named, is
continuous and steady. The mutton
supplies of Great Britain, although
they all show a reduction, have been
better maintained than any 9TH
er European country. American

WORLDS SUPPLY OF BOTH
MUTTON AND WOOL SHORT

The supply of sheep in the world
at the present time is not up to the
consumptivc requirements, either
from a mutton or wool shipment.
The sheep supply of the United
States is on the decline and has
been for some time, notwithstand-
ing the fact that the conditions for
flock development has been favor

interfered with the sheep industry
here. There is a tendency to give
them extra care, and why, under
these conditions of flock thrift, has
there been a declines

mathematician to figure out why.

delphia mint was idle three months,
and the New Orleans mint four
months. The San Francisco mint
did no work after the earthquake
and fire. The total of domestic

The mint at Denver began OPP
erations in February, 1906, and
at the close of the fiscal year was
employing 155 people. The coinage
of the new institution from Feb. 1
to June 80 amounted to $178, 704, :
600 in gold and ST., 769, 900 in silver.
The original deposits of gold
bullion at the minis and assay
offices, exclusive of all transfers
between the offices during the year
were of the value of $153, 100, 493.
Silver was received at the minis
during the year as follows, fractions
omitted. Silver contained in gold
4 deposits, 90, 500 standard ounces ;
Philippine coinage, 1876, 054 stand
ard ounces; uncurrent domestic
coin, 1908, 22O standard ounces

standard ounces; for foreign coin
age, s35, 900 ounces. Total, e,541,
$50 standard ounces.
Scent nicle coins during the year
was larger than ever before.
The total earnings of the mint
service from all sources, including
seignorage on subsidiary and minor
coins, aggregated SO, 707, 927. The
total expenditures, including loss
on recoinage and the cost of distrib-
uting minor coins, aggregated ST.,

The sales of fine gold bars by the
offices of the mint service for use il
the arts and manufactures amounted
to $40, 3eA. 473. The director esti'

Dubois viii Lecture.

Senator Dubois, of Idaho, it is
announced, will go on the lecture
platform when his term expires.
1t is probable, however, that he
will find time between lectures to
devote to the Idaho political situa-
ton. In 1897 Senator Dubois en-
emies succeeded in preventing his
return to the senate. He retired
ostensibly to his hay ranch at
Blackfoot, but in four years he
had succeeded in laying the wires
for his return to the senate so skill
fully that he landed the democratic
caucus nomination on the first bal
lot practically without opposition.
Idaho republicans who know Du-
bois' skill as political general, are
far from believing that they have
killed him off. They expect him
to give them more trouble two years
from now than he did this year.
The republican party has majority
in Idaho of nearly 20, 900, but fac
tional quarrels have so rent the
party that the candidate for gov
ernor this year would have beer
beaten except for the fact that he
received the solid Mormon vote II
obedience to orders from Salt Lake.
Out of sixteen Gentle counties II
the state he carried only four. The
Gooding- Brady domination of The
republican party has made it prac

MCKENNA BEGS
LEAVE TO DIFFER
Iext of Dissenting Opinion
in the Steunenberg
Murder Case.

Following is the dissenting opin-
ion of Justice McKenna, of the
United States Supreme, court in the
Meyer, Haywood and Pettibone
cases:
sIn the case al bar, the states,
through their officers, are the Of
tenders. They, by an illegal exer-
'tion of power, deprived the accused
of constitutional right. The dis
tinction is important to be OBJ
served. But it does not need en-
phasizing. Kidnapping is crime,
pure and simple. 1t is difficult to
accomplish; hazardous at every
step All the officers of the law
may be invoked against it. But
how is il when the law becomes the
kidnappcr? When the officers of
the law, using its forms and exer-
cising it's powers, become abduc-
tors7 This is not a distinction
without a difference 1t is an
other form of the crime of kid
mapping distinguished only from
that committed by an individual by
circumstances. If a state m ay say
10 one within her borders and upon
whom her process is served, L will
not inquire how you came here; L
/ must execute my laws and remit
you to proceedings against those
who have wronged you, mays she
so plead against her own offense
May she claim the mere physical
presence of the accused within her
borders of one who is brought
there by violence as justification
of her offense2
Constitutional rights the petit
have and valuable ones. The foun-
dation of extradition between'Kthc
states is that the accused should be
"a fugitive from justice from the de-
rnanding state, and he may chai-
1enge the fact by habeas corpus inn
mcdiately upon his arrest. If he
refute the fact he cannot be removed
and the right to resist removal is
not the right to asylum. 1t is the
right to be free from molestation, IT
IS the right of personal liberty in
nc most complete sense.
Justice McKenna here inserts in
his opinion a statement of the
hasty incarceration of Meyer, Hay
wood and Pcttibone and then con-
ciudcs:
mo individual could have &C.
complished what the power of the
two states accomplished. No IN
dividual could have accomplished
1he means and success; could have
made two arrests of prominent citi'
zens by invading their homes; coulc
have commanded the resources o
jai1s, armed guards and specia
trains; could have successful,
timed all acts to prevent inquir,
and judicial interference.
''The petitioner, as soon as h'
could have done SO, submitted hi
right to the consideration of tn,
federal court. He could not hav
done so in Colorado, he could no
have done SO on the trip l. from
Colorado At the first instant Q
time that the state of Idaho so ia
released its restraining power as t
enable him to consult counselxxa an
appeal to the writ of habeas corpus
ne should have been heard, not dis
missed from court, and the actio
of the circuit court in doing S
should be rever sed. -

INTERESTING POINTS
CONCERNING NEEDLES


but the daily consumption of some
thing like 8, 900, 900 needles all over
the world makes a pretty big total.
Every year the women of the United
States break, lose, and use about
100000, 900 of these little instru-
mcnts.
Our needles are the finished pro-
ducts of American ingenuity, skill
and workmanship, and yet how
many people, threading a needle or
taking a stitch, have ever given a
thought to the various processes
through which the wire must pass
ere it comes out a needle? The
manufacture of a single needle in
cludes some tweuty-one or twenty
two different processes, as follows !:
Cutting the wire into lengths !;
Strengthening, by rubbing while
heated; pointing the ends on grind
stones; stamping impression for the
eyes; growing eying, the eye being
pierc ed by screw presses; splitting,
threading the double needle by the
eyes on short lengths of fine wire ;
filing, removing the cheek left
on each side of the eye by stamp
ing; breaking, separating the two
needles on the one length of wire
heading, heads filed and smoothed
to remove the burr left by stamp
ing and breaking hardening in oil,
the needle is thus made brittle
tempering; picking, separating
those crooked in hardening
Strengthening the crooked ones
securing and polishing; bluing,
softening the eyes by heat; drilling
or cleaning out the sides of the eye
head-grinding roint-setting, or the
final sharpening; final polishing
then papering, and finally, Labelling.
For wrapping, purple paper is used,
because it prevents rusting.
There are many sorts and kinds
of needles: First, there is the sur
geon's grewsone outfit-the probing
needle. made for tracking bullets t.
hidden cavities of pus; the hairlil
needle, the long pins for pinninl
open wounds, the post-morten
needle of curious pattern. Some o
these little instruments are thin
some are thick; others are long ant
straight; others, again, curve once
twice or three times. The veterin
airy surgeon has his outfit also. TIL
cooks needles are wonderfully
fearfully made. His larding needl

together. The trusting needle

History is making faster in Russia than
anywhere else in the world-and it is
vital, deep-rcaching history, too. Vance

Cotton Seed and Cattle Industry

Lexington Dispatch.
Time was when farmers found their
cotton seed IL burden on their hands
and knew OF no better way to be rid
of it than to dump it out some where
on the farm, if indeed they cared to
haul it home from the gins. Oh late
wears it has been found that the seed
was by no means the least valuable
part OF the cotton crop and now 1T
brings thousands of dollars to the
cotton grower The cotton seed oil
is used for numerous purposes, from
taking the place OF olive oil, down.
The hulls and meal make an excellent
food for stock. As a result the cat
tie industry in the South has grown
amazingly. A Richmond livestock
dealer in Charlotte last week declared
that stock raising in the South was
constantly increasing in extent, more
cattle and better cattle being pro-
duced. Wherever there is an oil mill,
there are people who make business
of feeding cattle on bulls and meal
for the market, at a fair profit, and
the manure is also the best fertilizer
possible

Golden Gate City's Wealth.

The assessed valuation of all the
real property of San Francisco for the
present year was S4O2, 127, POI, and
the personal property was valued at
S122, 25S, 4O6, making a total as
sessed valuation of $524,3S5, G67.
The assessments equalled about 50
to 20 per cent. of the actual value.
On this basis the real and personal
property of the city has a value OF
$500, 100000. Its population last
year was estimated 100000. Mort
gage and goods in stock and manu-
facture are not included in this esti-
mate. The city had one of the small
est municipal debts of any large city
in the Union. The water, gas and
electric light plants were not owned
by the city. Its total debt amounts
to only S4,243,372. Its city prop
erty, including parks and municipal
buildings, was valued at $50, 543, 900.

GOOD idea OF what the associations
are doing in that city. Some OF these
