ROOseveIt's Remarkable Prediction

One of the most remarkably aCcu- rate predictions as to the election re- suits. has just come to light in let ter written by President Roosevelt to Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, over month ago and made public the morning after the election. It proves cOnclusively that Roosevelt t combined with all his other qualities of statesmaushIp is at the same time one of the shrewdest and most astute political observers thls country has ever seen and the secret of it all is that he is probably closer to the American people than any other living man and is in a position to puaue their sentiments more accu- rdtely than any one man. The letter follows:
 "Dear Cabot:-Prophesy is very bad until the event. Nevertheless I must send you a line to say that think that the situation is steadily improv- ing in Ohio. East of NAllcghanies believe that we shall have larger popular plurality than four years ago. in other words that Taft's plurality will be greater than mine and l think that the electoral vote will be larger east of the Alleghanies than four years ago, because I think the chances slightly favor Us in Maryland, although this represents il rood deal of guess work.
 "West of the Alleghanies I think we shall see a heavy falling off in rhe majorities as compared with 1901, but I do not anticipate the loss of an electoral vote except in Mis- souri and in Nevada and 1 am in clined to think that we have an even chance of carrying Kentucky"

The Output is About Average.

The product of the Old Dominion from four furnaces will not vary very much from previous months, being probably between 3,40O, GOO and 3.5O0,- GOO pounds No. 6 furnace is now be ing operated, and being consiierably larger than any of the other furna ces, it is found that normal production can be maintained by running four furnaces with No. instead of five. The older furnaces are being rebuilt on more improved style.
 The efficiency of the Dawson coke is found to be better then expected and the percentage of the western coke used in the char ge is but slightly in excess of the eastern coke. Old Do rhinion copper costs this year have been lower than in any previous year with all indications pointing to a still further reduction. As the higher grade ore bodies are reached it will naturally raise the value of the charge and reduce the cost of copper per pound. Every one-half of l per cent increase in the percentage of copper in the charge adds S50,000 per month to the net earnings on the present price of copper.
 During the past year the Old Do minion has been making no selection of ores whatever, taking them as they came and treating about 36,000 tons per month, S5 per cent. to % per cent of the production coming from the treatment of the company $ own material Belt.

Questions of Labor Defies CaIuIatiOn

One of the most vexatious problems that has long defied an intelligent, satisfactory solution,is the equitable payment of mine labor. Unionists and economists of no mean intellectual attainment have been baked time and again.
 Legislation that reduces the hours of work to ten or eight per day, and raises wages, while it exhibits the spirit of humanity that recognizes man needs rest and proper sustenauce to make him a better worker to morrow, sometimes proves to be an abuse rather than d benefit. We are thinking of the workman who takes undue advantage of his employer by wilfully neglecting his duty, and when called to account appeals to organiz- ed labor for support in the campaign against capitalists in general.
 To legislate in favor of an unde- sirable element that is known to be the cause of discontent in any mining camp no matter how good may be the properties worked or how literal the management needs to be severely criticised. Likewise when the sena- torial chairs are filled by men pre- suma bly, chosen by and for the benefit of the people but in reality are sup ported by law breaking combinations of capital, then any legislation in favor of such employers is grossly unjust. The only chord of harUOny between employer and emplOye can be that of fair play or a square deal.
 Wages of miners, like the salaries of the officials of the company Operat- ing the property, should be regulated by the earnings from the products marketed. This idea met with favor in the Butte district early in 1907, when the employees Ot the mines and smelters agreed to a compromise in crease of wages, the scale to be governed by the price of copper. At that time the miners were receiving S3.75 per day, although the union had fixed the rate at S3.50. The agree ment signed for five years was that when copper sold at Is cents or more per pound, miners were to get s4 per day, and when the price ot copper dropped below Is cents the wage was to be S35O.
 The fact that not only copper, but all other metals are selling today at much lower prices than they did d year or SO ago, without encouraging consumption in the face of general business depression, suggests that the earnings of mines and metallurgical works have been cut rather deeply. The situation at present is not as aggravating as it was a few months ago. Judging by the re-employment of labor and there is evidence that a furtker improvement will be noticed after the presidential election.
 In practically all branches of the mining industry wages and general expenses, have been readjusted to conform to the unusual economic con- -ditions that prevail. Miners as rule

Greene Gold Silver.

Counsel Link, for the rsceiver of the Greene Gold Silver compahy, says; Ut is our contention that the two dividends declared on the preferred Wefe taken from proceeds of stock sales rather than from earnings. The New York state laws provide that dis 6ursements to stockholders shall not come from sale of assets, and there fore, directors would be liable.'' ''
 An American mining engineer re plies to New York publication which has been ehouting fraud" :" "swindle," '" etc.. as follows;
 ''While not wishing to appear as a defender of the Greene policies, still d more or less familiar acquaintance with the affairs of the Greene Gold Silver company leads me to the con clueion that you rather overdraw the matter-due perhaps, to d wrong per pective-when you intimate that the presentCondition of the company is due to 'barefaced frauds practiced in promoting it. Fraud there may have been-I am not certain-but for downright nedr-crimiual mismanage- ment subsequent to it's promotion doubt that the Greene Gold Silver company has an equal in the annals of mining, and therein, believe, lies the blame.

T.J.

A force of men was put to work the first of the month in sinking the main shaft which is already down 700 feet and is in good ore. After all has bee n said and done with regard to the mines of New Mexico, the fact re- mains that the COoney is one of the very great mining properties of the territory and resumption of Oper- ations means big things not only for the Cooney Mining district but for Silver City as well--Enterprise.

Advertising Not Expensive. But An Asset.

Advertising is matter of deep
 pefsoral concern to the fruit grower
 and rancher, and especially to the
 hundreds of men who are directly in.
 terested in the orange and lemon in-
 dustry. According to E. O. McCor-
 mick. of the Hartman lines, this iti-
 dustry has added Sl6,O0O;0OO to the
 national wealth during the past year,
 and MT. Mccormick, in an address,
 told the members of the California
 Fruit Growers excharge at their
 convention in Kansas City this
 month how they can increase the use
 of their product and make it even
 more important in the markets of
 the United States. MT. Mccormick k
 said in part:
 Ut has ever been a wonder to me
 how it can be that men and organiza
 tions can muster up the courage to
 put large sums of money into lands,
 factories, machinery and materials: incur big payroll liabilities and other obliga tions; then, when it comes to the most important factor of all that of making the product known, or, in other words, making the people want it, to hesitate, to consider the publicity as something apart from the business, a something 10 be, 'or not to be done, dependent on the judgment, or perhaps whim, of some individual-or to think of it as an ex- pense, or, say, a gamble.
 Now, if 1 can aid in dispellinp doubts which may be entertained by any of the members of this asSocia- tion as to the efficiency of adyertis- ing for promoting its business---en- lished, extending it into new regions ---I will be doing about the greatest service it is in my power to render you. To start with you must recog- nize advertising as d commodity. It is imperatively necessary that you get this truth fixed firmly in your minds before you can hope to give it that broad consideration which it's i'm pOrtance demands.
 "rhe advertising agencies argue strongly on the law of averages and claim that it is the only thing that is absolutely certain in advertising. The point they lay stress on is: What one man likes or form no criterion. When a thousand, at a certain expense, are led to spend d certain amount, you have an absolute certainty. The millions will do what the thousands have done.' This ap- peals to reason.
 'One agency is advertising its own business by published announcements that it is paying man 5000 a week. As chairman ot a committee of six teen of their advertising experts he has the last word in the determina- tion of plan and scope of campaigns. And the agency also advertises that this high-salaried man is worth all it pays.
 Heading the newspap per is as inti- mate part of our every day life as sleeping and eating. It is q rare per son who does not at least glance over his daily or weekly paper, and to the great majority of people it is the only avenue open to their minds ac- ressiole to those who have things to sell The peculiar strength which is all its own is well put by recent writer m the following words: The carries suggestions into the family circle at leisure moments in parlor or library, where no sales man is ever permitted to enter It is in closer touch with and experts a greater influence in the home than any olher printed thing"

We are new IN this city, and
Rich Hin people might be inter.
ested 10 know the opinion Of one
who contemplates locating IN this
town regarding its possibilities
The FIRST impression is that Rich
Hin Is a wen planned city With
tho two parks, arranged as they
are on Park Avenue, one gets the
idea OF a prosperous and well ar.
ranged little city.
This is a town OF great possi'
bilities. With a large territory
10 draw from, and this territory
increased greatly on account Of
the drainage ditch, Rich Hill is
assured Of a large and wealthy
territory, with itself as the nu-
cleus.
The thing that impresses the
stranger especially, is the great
prospect of the town to become
a manufacturing center, already
having smelters, cigar factories,
mines, etc, and water, coal, gas,
electricity and many other things
that make a desirable location for
manufacturing enterprises.
A stroll down Park Avenue
convinces one that the merchants
Of Rich Hill are wideauake and
up.to-date in every respect. The
stores have good display win
dows and large salable stocks
back Of them. This is one Of the
best advertisements Of q town.
and Rich Hill is well advertised
along this line.
Taking all things into consider
alton, Rich Hill is the coming
city Of Bates county and this
part Of the state.
