That our American Forests abound In
plants which possess the most valuable
medicinal virtues Is abundantly atteste6
by scores of the most eminent medical
writer's and teachers. Even the untu-

advent OF the white race. This informa-

have been the most successful in the
history OF this division. There were
present about one hundred members

were entertained royalty by the Rath-

that they had had the time Of their

The grafton OF Joseph j. LAWN, a

by the old soldiers as the best feature
Of the encampment.

OF PRODUCTION
AmaIgamated Mines at Butte
Will Be Operated on a
Limited Scale.
Especial to The Herald)

Butte, Mont. Sept. 13.-Overproduc-
ton of copper and temporary iull in
demands for the red metal has caused
the Amalgamated Copper company to
curtail its output. Orders have been
issued by which the output OF the
Amalgamated properties will be re-
duced to about 40 per cent of the nor
NAL production. or from 20. ZOO. 600
pounds to about 7.000,O 900 pounds per
month. and in the future no work will
be done on Sundays.
Curtailing the production to 40 per
cent of. the normal production will
mean q reduction in the working forces
that will throw about 5000 men out of
employment When the mines will re-
sumo with full forces is problematicaL
The Diamond mine viii be closed and
work at the Belmont will be complete
ly suspended. The GagnOn and Par
rot mines are also shut down.
John Gillie, general superintendent
of the Amalgamated properties, acting
under Managing Director John d.
Ryan, stated that there would be no
general shut down at the present time.
For some time" said Mr.. Gillie, "a
gradual curtailment of the copper pro-
duction has been going on. We shall
cease all construction work
1.-THE shut down Of the mines Will
avert fuel famine this winter Re
ducing the output of the Amalgamated
properties will have far-reaching eff
feet With less tonnage to Great Falls
and Anaconda it will be necessary to
shut down portions of the smelters in
these cities, thus throwing out of en-
pIoyment a couple of thousand men.
The action of the Amalgamated Cop

closing rule will probably be followed
by all copper companies operating in

POOR PLACE FOR JUMPERS
Settlers in the Imperial Valley Meet
and Organize a Vigilance
Committee.

Imperial, Cal, Sept. 1S.-The land fraud
difficulties that have been promising for
some time to ripen into sensational stages
took a new turn today, when meeting of
a number of the best known farmers of
the valley was held here and vigilance
committee organized to protect the rights
of land claimants.
Now that there is no more land left
for filing here, people are pouring in,
seeking claims that may possibly be taken
from others. There have been instances
of attempts to take fOrcible possession of
claims but the vigilance committee is
designed to deal with this class of Of
tenders
The greatest portion of the land claim
ants are typical frontiersmen and have
no idea of permitting any one to run
them off their land. They intend to take
summary action to clear the valley of all
who are inclined to use force in land mat
tiers. The trouble is confined to the new
districts of the valley, the old district
holders being free from interference. 1t
is anticipated. however, that the whole
valley will rally to the support of those
who are fighting against the claim jump

stead of grades in the secondary schools,
and believe that a liberal education course
should be devised to take fifteen years in
it's completion, instead of sixteen years as
at present 1t is likely that an effort will
be made to lay the matter before the Ma
