British Columbia Mines.

A large new boarding house is be-
ing built at the Stemwinder mine. in
Fairview camp.
During the month of October more
than $4,000 tons of copper ore was
shipped from the Snowshoe mine,
which established a new high record
for that property
1t is rumored among mining men
that the closing down of the CRANKY
mines and smelter will be of but short
duration and that there is big merger
of Boundary companies planned.
One encouraging feature in the news
of the week was the receipt by Boun-
dairy and other stockholders in the
Consolidated Mining e Smelling com
pany of Canada, Ltd, of the seventh
dividend checks of that concern, be-
ing what is known as the November
dividend payment.
1t is the general impression in Mel
son that the shutdown Of the copper
mines in the Boundary is merely a
matter of adjustment of wages, and
that if the men are willing to take the
rise and fall of wages with the rise
and fall of copper-the Boundary
mines and smelters will soon be in
full blast again.
The lie Roi, at Rossland. b. c., is
developing in satisfactory manner.

years past. lie Role No. 2 is operating

is THERE A WHEAT CLIQUE?
State Railroad Commission Suspects
Railroads Aid Alleged
Combine.

Olympia, Wash, Nov. 20.-The state
railroad commission is cunning for a
suspected combine of railroads and
warehousemen that is said to be at
tempting to bar out Independent wheat
buyers in eastern Washington, and an
nouncement is made at the commission
Offices that the commission will keep
busy on the work until the combine, j.
such exists is broken up for all time.
In fact, the commission is rather in
clned to force warehousemen out of
the business of buying grain and into
strictly warehouse business.
What gives ground for the belief
there is such collision between the
warehousemen and the railroads is the
fact that this year the warehousemen
adopted a new and peculiar form of re-
ceipt, and at the same time the rail
roads adopted a rule not to supply cars
to Independent buyers unless the same
were ordered through some warehouse
man.
Heretofore warehouse receipts given
for wheat simply receipted for a GER
tain number of sacks and bushels OF
grain to be delivered on surrender OF
the receipt and payment of charges.
This year the receipt reads that the
wheat was to be delivered lin the order
in which cars are received"
Immediately following the protest of
the grain growers against this form of
receipt came the complaint from indie
pendent buyers that the railroads
would not supply them with cars.
The commission promptly investi-
gated the latter report and was at first
positively informed by railroad officials
there was no such rule, and if any
agent had enforced such a rule he had
done so without authority.
The commission then made further
investigation and found there was this
discrimination and again demanded an
explanation from the railroads. Then
the roads admitted there Is such a rule,
and now the roads are defending it as
proper and fair.

Plan to Move the Wheat.

The National Bank of Commerce of
Seattle has submitted a plan for the
moving of the wheat crop of the In
land Empire. The plan is to exchange
sight drafts on New York for the
wheat, which drafts will be payable
within Is days after the wheat is de-
llvered to the exporter Ordinarily
the wheat is paid TOR in sight drafts
on London, which very much prolongs
the time which the local banks must
carry the accounts. r. r. Spencer.
vice president of the National Bank of
Commerce, stated that If the export
ers would agree to accept these sight
drafts on New York he would under
take to furnish the cash and Gre

senting the wheat interests. has stated
that he has little doubt that the plan
will be accepted.

OKLAHOMA, A STATE
PRESIDENT signs PROCLAMA-
TON ADMITTING Her.
Act Was Done in Cabinet Room in
Presence of Few-Signature Signed
by Pen Formed From Quill Of Wing
of an American Eagle-Goes to His
torical Society of Oklahoma.

A new star was added to the Amer
lean flag by the admission formally
into the Union of the state of Okla
homa.
President Roosevelt at 1916 o'clock
Saturday morning signed the procla-
nation admitting the territories of Ok
lahoma and Indian Territory jointly as
one of the American states. Little
formality attended the ceremony
which meant so much to the people
of the two territories. In appending
his signature to the proclamation the
president used pen formed from
quill plucked from the wing of an
American eagle. The pen will be de-
posted with the Oklahoma Historical
society.
There was absolutely no ceremony
connected with the signing of the
proclamation. The act was done in
the cabinet room, to which had been
admitted Senators Carter and Dixon
of Montana, and Warner of Missouri,
besides a number of residents of Okla
homa, most of whom are connected
with government departments in
Washington. 1t was exactly 1916
o'clock when Secretary Loeb threw
open the double doors leading from
the presidents private Office. He had
the proclamation in his hand, which
later he laid on the large square blot
ter at the presidents position at the
head of the cabinet table. The presi-
dent entered and took his seat at once,
was handed the long eagle quill pen
by the secretary and himself lifting
the lid from the inkstand, dipped the
pen and wrote his name in large let
ters, the pen making an audible
scratch with each movement When
he had finished his signature the pres
ident picked up a small blotter, with
which he blotted his name, and then
looked up and exclaimed
oklahoma is a state"
The signing and all incidents con-
cerned with il consumed but one min
ute, and at their conclusion the presi-
dent retired to his private office, say
ing as ne did so:
Good morning, gentlemen"
The slight delay from the original
plan of having the proclamation signed
at exactly 10 o'clock is explained sim
ply by the statement the president
was occupied with his mail. No sig
nificance is attached to the 16 minutes
delay.

CROPS TO MOVE FAST.
Banks Have Made Arrangements to
Get Cash to Farmers.

Seattle. Wash, Nov. 19.-At a meet
ing held here in the Bank of Commerce
between representatives of the bank,
wheat exporters and wheat growers of
the Inland Empire arrangements were
concluded which assure the financing
of the movement of the wheat crop of
the northwest. Immediately following
the meeting orders were sent out to
actually set the wheat in motion at
once.
AS a result the immense wheat crop
of the Inland Empire conservatively
estimated to be worth $4,000, 600
will today start on its way to the mar
kets of Asia, Africa and Europe. From
the Inland Empire there will begin a
flow of the grain to the ports of Puget
sound and the Columbia river which
will cease only when all the wheat has
been drained from the fields and ware
houses.
