DISCUSS CORN RATES
Minneapolis Profits by Working OF

Corn rates from the Missouri river
are under discussion today in Chicago.
The ACCESSIBILITY Of meeting. the Wa
bash thru rate on corn is being con-
sidered.
A 2419-c cent rate on coarse grains
from Minneapolis to New England by
way of the Grand Trunk became ef-
fective today. This rate offsets the
North Western s discriminative rate in
favor of Chicago.
Heretofore everything has worked to
give Chicago the terminal advantages,
while Minneapolis has been practlcally
shut out. The new rate is expected to
stimulate matters.

The Demand for
Copper.
All This is in the Interest
of the Development of
This Section.

The world is still looking for
copper and at the present time the
copper market is soaring high.
Competent authorities say that the
demand is permanent and that the
increased use found for the metal
will consume all that the world
can produce for many years. As
the use increases faster than the
production. it is probable that the
price of copper has not yet reach
ed its highest point.
Ali this is in the interest of the
development of this section. 1t is
already been proven til t Battle
Mountain is surrounded by copper
prospects. Where there are SO
many indications there must be at
least one copper mine. OF course
many prospects Will yield con-
siderable amount from surface
workings, but capital is seeking a
ledge that gives promise of great
depth.
In the Spring there will be a
great deal of prospecting done
and those who own copper proper
ties around here will work and
open up their properties. Should
this work demonstrate the values
that are believed to exist around
this section it may be only a short
time before we will have prosper
Gus times in this section, or at
least we hope so.

FOR GOVERNOR.

Governor Sparks has not yet an
nounced whether or not he would
again be candidate. The i'm
preston seems to be, however,
that he will agaia head the state
ticket. 1t has been quite strongly
rumored of late that the real reason
for Van Duzer's retirement from
the congressional lists was merely
in order that he might be untram-
meled in his desire to be the states
executive. No one takes him
seriously when he says that he has
had enough of Office for he comes
under the head of those men in
whom the lust of Office never
dies.
There has been considerable re-
publican speculation as to who the
candidate should be to oppose the
democrats, and many names have
been mentioned at one time or an
other. Colonel Hickey of Carson,
however, is said to have his eyes
set on the executive mansion, and
could possibly be induced to make
the race. He is among the state S
wealtbiest men, is identified with
every line of activity that the state
knows, and is fighter from fight
erville. He would make strong
candidate. Oddie of Tonopah was
frequently suggested months ago,
but of late one hears his name less
often ranked among the possibili-
ties. General Turrittin of Reno
has also been spoken of but be has
stated positively more than once
that he would not be a candidate.
Glib Douglass and Mcmillan have
also been spoken of.
All the talk of Newlands enter
ing the republican party has died
down, for the very simple reason
that if ever he had any such de-
sire he abandoned it when he
found that the republicans would
not open the door if he knocked.
There is a chance that Governor
Sparks may enter the field against
Nowlands, but this is hardly ex-
pected.

500 Population.

Therush to Manhattan, fifty miles
north of Tonopah, exceeds any ex-
citement that has taken place in
this section of the state for a year.
Six months ago there were two
tents in Manhattan. Today there
are $50 and a population of be-
tween 400 and 600 people. There
are several saloons and gambling
houses, three groceries, five res
taurants, two lodging houses and
two livery stables. New people
are coming in every hour and real
estate prices are booming.
Town lots that sold a week ago
for 500 and 5000 each command
$500 and $1,000. Many trades are
being made, especially for business
property.
The mineral belt of Manhattan
is about ten miles square. There
is vast quantity of high grade
ore in sight, nearly all of it free

being made by two of the shipping
mines to erect mills.
Three miles below Manhattan is

r is the exceptional housekeeper who
ever has enough bureau or sideboard
scarfs. For some unknown reason
Il these useful and decorative articles
are more rarely given-indeed, more
rarely worked-than any other form OF
fancy work.
1t is not unusual to see in a home other
wise we'll appointed a sideboard or bu-
reau with cover plain almost to shabbi-
ness. Centerpieces, plate and tumbler dol
lies pincushions. even dainty blouses and
neckwear. all bear evidence of the skill
of the mistress with a needle, yet the
cheapest machine-worked scarfs are used
on such important pieces of furniture as
buffet or dressing table.
The necessity for exact dimensions may
be one cause Of the bureau scarfs lack of
popularity as gift. Many women COM
plain also that these covers-handsome
ones. at least-cost SO much to buy they
cannot afford them. While this is I'M
doubtedly true. such excuse is removed

long and short stitch.
Work the veins In twisted outline stitch
to make them stand out
When finished. the outer edges of the
leaves and the spaces up to the short
stems should be carefully cut out. This
will leave the grapes and the other stems
as solid embroidery on the linen, with
the leaves as an open border.
AS rule. these cutwork scarfs are done
entirely in white since much laundering
Is necessary. or. IL ooored linens are used
the design is white. This pattern, how
ever. would be very striking il carried out
in the natural coiors of the grapes and
leaves on white linen. or even convention
allied and worked in different shades Of
gold and brown on tan art linen, or in
the natural tones on a pale lavender or
green.
This design will look equally well If not
used for cutwork. but put onto a hem
stitched linen scarf as a border and en-
broidered solidly throughout. or with the
leaves done either in long and short or
kensington stitch and the grapes in satin
stitch. Indeed, elaborate is the pattern
that it will be very striking II worked only
in heavy outline.
A very good-looking scarf might be made
on pale tan linen by outlining the grapes
IN two or three tones of purple and the
leaves in green, with a second outline in
gilt thread around the whole design.
