RUSSIAN MEkTS MASTER
American Citizen Effectually Calls
Bluff of Nobleman.

Paris. April l7.-Far from the DO
litical agitation of his country Grand
Duke Michael Of Russia is living a
simple and quiet life at Cannes but he
does not seem to have left his auto
cratic ways behind him.
The other day while out on an auto
mobile trip, accompanied by some
friends, he was riding behind another
car which covered his imperial high
ness with dust Blowing the horn,
shouts and signals had no effect, the
unknown calmly went on his way,
without even deigning to turn his
head
At last, just outside the automobile
club, the car stopped, as did also the
one Of the grand duke, who was furi-
Gus
Sir" he shouted, in an arrogant
tone, to the occupant OF the offending
auto, who happened to be an Ameri-
can, you are evidently not aware of
whom you have before you | am
Grand Duke Michael, OF Russia. and
your impertinence--"
Mr. Michael, said the unknown, II
am an American My name is Uncle
Sam We are not in Russia, and you
may go to h-ll. for all care"
The grand duke tried TO get in an
other word. but the Yankee cut him
short
If you continue to use that tone.
Or even If YOU dare address another
remark in this direction. with his fist
holding up an athletic looking handy
will smash that ugly face of yours"
The grand duke, thinking that dis
,retion was the better part of valor,
went off without another word.

ALL RECORDS BROKEN.
Mine on Lake Superior Turns Out
2l,000,O00 Pounds of Copper.

Calumet, Mich, April l7.-All rec
ords of production were broken by
the Lake Superior copper mines last
month. when they turned out approx
imately 2l,OOO,OOO pounds of refined
copper, the largest amount in any
single month since copper mining
was started in the Michigan district.
Based on an average selling price of
Is l-2 cents for the month, the
March output of the Lake Superior
district sold for $5,35OOOO.
Provided the Michigan mines con-
tinue to produce for the remainder of
the year at the same rate as they did
last month, the 1907 output of the
district will aggregate nearly 24O,-
100000 pounds. There are indica-
tions, however, that the years pro-
duction will be larger than that, as

some of the mines will increase their
output, and it is unlikely that any of
them will fall off in shipments. Civ
en- an output of 24O,0OO,OOO pounds,
and providing the price of copper
averages Is cents pound for the
year, the 1907 production of the Lake
Superior mines would sell for 500
100000.
Some of the most notable gains in
production last month were made bv
the Baltic and Champion mines of
the Copper Range Consolidated CON-
pany. Both of these properties broke
their best previous records. The two
properties will show substantial
gam this year over their 1906 OUTPUT.
Both mines turned out more conner
last month than the Osceola Consoli.
dated, and the Champion pushed the
Qulncy hard for second rank among
the Michigan properties. The Baltic
and Champion are each producing at
the rate Of upward Of 1S.OOO.OOO
pounds of copper a year, and there
Will Be further gains in their pro-
duction during the next few months.
Quincy has shown a steady gain
IN production so far this year, and
the current year promises to be one
of the best in its history. 1t is now

An Exchange of Boys.

Two boys in the Sunday school,
who stood at the head of the class,
were invariably asked the same uues-
tions, which were, "Who made your"
and "To what do you return?" to
which the first boy always replied,
God made me-" and the second boy
answered, Dust of the earth"
On this occasion the first boy was
absent, so the first question, "Who
made you?" was addressed to the
second boy.
Dust of the earth" he replied.
Quite wrong, Tommy. God made
YOU, said the teacher Indignantly.
No, teacher. The boy that God
made has gone home with the stomach
ache"

ARE AFTER REVENGE.
Idaho Miners Getting Senator Borah
in Serious Fix.

Washington, April l7.-It is al
legged that pressure was brought to
bear on the president BY Senator
Borah Of Idaho to suppress evidence
against Borah which is alleged to
have caused an indictment for al
legged land frauds. 1t is understood
here the papers in the case have been
sent to the attorney general for re.
view and that the president is asked
to intervene in favor of Borah.
1t is alleged that the investiga-
ton by the Idaho federal grand jury
was started by facts furnished by ad-
herents of Meyer, Haywood and Pet
tibone, labor men charged with COM
plicity in the murder of the late e>
Governor Steunenberg. Borah was
connected as attorney for the Barber
Lumber company. That company has
for years been procuring fraudulent
timber entries, it is said.
1t is believed one of the greatest
national sensations ever stirred up is
in store when all the facts come out.
1t is said that the late Governor
Steunenberg and his brother, Frank.
were involved, also Governor Good
ing. 1t will be charged that Frank
came to Washington as an employe
OF the manager of the Barber Lum-
Der company to push through patents
to fraudulent claims.
1t is claimed the labor men de-
sired to prove the murdered man
was not the paragon of virtue it is !
claimed he was; hence they started
the investigation into the fact. al |

tor four years or more.
Boise. Ida, April l7.-United
States District Attorney Ruick left
today for Washington, called there
BY the department of justice. 1t is
the understanding he has been sum-
noned iii connection with the timber
fraud cases, and particularly the al
legged Indictment of Senator Borah.
formerly attorney general for the
Barber Lumber company. The OBJ
ect of his going is not made known.
out it is the belief that the matter will
oe gone over fully there. A COPY
't testimony before the grand Jury
vas taken for the attorney general.
1T is the belief here that no official
of the Indictment will

rome over the evidence, and another
conclusion made is that should the
'vidence prove insufficient to support
he action, the indictment will be '
lropped at once.

WILL REPORT
City Park Meeting Thursday Even
ing Will See Something Definite
Accomplished.
THE DAY SITE is PREFERRED
ways and Means Committee Up in
the Air AS to Funds to Pay for
New Park Site.

In pursuance to call issued by
Mayor Pinkley. large number Of
citizens gathered in the city hall
Wednesday evening to discuss the
public park proposition Judge f. k.
Cheadle was chosen chairman Of The
meeting and a general discussion Of
the entire matter was h d by num-
ber OF those present. All agreed that
a park is necessity and il only re-
mains to select site and secure the
funds to purchase the same.
In order to get at something tang
ible, Judge Cheadle, after the meeting
had adjourned, appointed the follow
ing committees: Recommending of
site-Chairman F. +. Smith, Mayor J.
+. Pinkley, Stephen Anderson, David
Hilger, Andrew Green, G.. w. Stone,
}. l., Beebe, R, Won Tobel and F. F..
Wright
Ways and Means L. Lane, chair
man; A. w. War;. J. T. Wunderlin,
G. H. Beaslcy aud T. J. Tubb.
The ways and means committee
held meeting Saturday afternoon
and thoroughly discussed this very
important matter. 1t was realized
that in order to secure a park, it will
be necessary to raise several thou
sand dollars, depending upon the site
chosen. Chairman Lane, who is also
a member of the city council. stated
that it is now impossible for the city
to raise any funds for park purposes
as the requirements of the munich
pality for necessary running expenses
and the building of sidewalks and
sewers take up all of the money which
will be available for at least two
years.
The proposition of public sub
scription did not meet with much
favor and the meeting adjourned
without any definite plan of raising
the required funds being decided up,
on.
The committee on recommending a
site visited several tracts Of ground
Sunday and have gathered all of the
data at hand regarding the cost of
each site.
Six sites have been offered to the
,ity as follows:
Frank Day, ground at the end of
and for $4,000
John Crowley has twenty acres of
and lying at the edge Of the city on
he Kendall road which he offers for
10000 with ST 900 donation.
James Hopkins has 70 acres of land
including Athletic Heights which he
will sell for $1,000. He offers an
'ther tract Of Is acres which includes
lis big ice and fish pond, for $1,000.
Governor Brooks offers to sell his
'land containing about three acres for
$1,000, and if the proposition is ac-
epted, he will donate $1,000 to the
ark fund.
K. G. Jackson and Game Worden
colt offer acres just below the
udith Basin mill on the left hand
de of the road for $4,000.
A meeting to hear reports of the
ommittees was to have been held
'morrow "wednesday evening, but
hartman Cheadle wishes the Demo-
rat to announce that owing to the
lct that Marc, the magician, is
to appear here tomorrow

ewistown lecture club, the meeting
IS been postponed until Thursday
