Democratic machine attempted to GUST both the
Republicans and the Prohibtonists from the
official ballot, but Chairman Pitts by energetic
fight saved the Prohibition ticket, and in the first
district of Long Lake in that county, where there
was but one Prohibition vote last year, we had
twenty-four straights. The fight cost 5000, but
was worth it and taught politicians that Pro-
hibitionists will insist upon their rights

RIcHLAND, Iowa, November 19-( Especial cor
respondence)-After hard three cornered fight
in this (Keokuk) county, Mr.. Pleasant Hos
kins received SOC votes as Prohibition candidate
for the legislature. The vote of the county, for.
Chain is nearly double that given to Swallow
four years ago (152). -Falsehoods circulated AZ
the last minute seriously cut down the vote.
There was no Prohibition county organization at
the outset, and no campaign had been conducted
for years. The work this year brought out he

Great credit is due to Mr.. Lance Brady of this
place, the Prohibition county chairman Though
a very busy farmer, he has put forth every effort
at great personal sacrifice to make the campaign
a success

BUREAU OF MINES

The Engineering and Mining Jour- nal is not enamored with the proposi- tion pending in Congress for the crea- tion of bureau of mines, concerning which it advances the following sensi- ble views:
 "Two bills have been introduced in Congress by Senator Dick and Mr. Englebright. respectively, providing for the creation of bureau of mines and a joint resolution, offered by Sen- ator Dick, legalizing what the Geolog- ical Survey has been doing under a highly doubtful interpretation of its organic law and greatly increasing its scope in technical investigation. All of these are objectionable and it is to be hoped that none of them will pass.
 'The Geological Survey has suffer- ed because some of it's ambitious di- rectors have diverted its activities from its special field of applied geolo-

PACIFIC COAST WHALING IN DI1STRY

This year no specific information has been given out by the Pacific Whaling Co.,, but it IS known that all records of catches for individual vessels have been decisively smashed, one vessel taking no less than nine whales in a single day and forty-two in one week. When it is considered that each whale averages seventy-live tons in weight there is some sort of appreciation as 10 the enormty of this slaughter. Men who have kept in close touch with the operations of the whalers during the year estimate that the catch of the Victoria whalers for l007. will come close to 1,200 whales, or 90, GOO tons.
 Formerly the bowhead. right and sperm whale constituted the quest of the wta'"r, and after the removal of the nnaIeuone and oil or bluhher the catcass was allowed to sink or become food for shatks and other scavengers of the d:ep. Now every pound of even the most common variety, the tinback. is preserved and enters the channels of commerce.
 The products Of an average common whale include seventy-five barrels of oil, four toos of guano, two tons o1 bone meal, 800 pounds of tallow, 600 pounds of glue, 700 pounds of beef eX- tract, used for fattening cattle: 800 pounds of whale amber. 400 pounds of blood, used in sugar relineries, and four tons of whale meat. The meat is salted down like pork, and is market ed in China and Japan.
 The outer skin of a whale is from one-eighth to an inch thick and there is about 500 square feet of it. This is said to make very acceptable leather for uphostering. There is about 300 square feet of fine intestinal skin, chiefly used in book binding. The amber is used for leather dressing, rendering leather impervious to water, Pacific Fisherman.

gy, for work in which it was oragniz- ed. Its organic law provided that it should have the classi ficaton of pub lie lands and examination of the geo. Illogical structure, mineral resources and products of the national domain. , The authorization to examine mineral products has been stretched to cover investi igations in the entire subject of applied mining and metallurgy, al- though the language ought not to he constrl ed as covering more than the determination of the character of min eral products which is necessary in connection with geological investiga- tions. That the simple meaning of this act was misinterpreted by the first director is no excuse for continu- ing to do so. The Geological Survey has been criticized on this account during practically it's whole history.
 "1'he scattering of it's attention originating in this way has immensely detracted from its usefulness in geo.
 logical work. This is said in no sense as disparagement of the great results that it has accomplished, but rather as regret at it's failure to grasp fully it's great opportunities. It has been among the greatest contributors to the development of the science of economic geology and has graduated many of it's trained geologists into private practice wherein a demand for their services has grown up. It has provided a great and valuable litera- ture on American ore deposits, but it has failed to give the tull aid in the discovery and development of the min eral resources of the nation that it might have done, and this is largely the reason for the present demand that the Government do something more for the mining industry. It is surprising that directors of the Survey have been so blind as to diffuse their time anu funds when so much import ant work in their speciality has been, and is, awaiting them. The scope of the Geological Survey should be nar- rowed, not enlarged.
 ''The experience of the Geological Survey illustrates precisely why a bu- reau of mines should be carefully lim- tied in its organic law to what it is intended to do and it should not be intended 10 do what the people engag- ed in the mining irdustry can and ought to do for themselves. The bills introduced by Senator Dick and Mr. Englebright are so broad in their pro- visions that the bureaucracy that would be created by them would be limited Tn it's activity only by the ap- propriatious it could secure and would aave g, eat opportunities for mischief in the mining industry. A bureau oi mines could do some useful work, but it must be carefully specified what that work is to he if we are to escape the creation Of another unrestrained bureaucracy for tire employment of many scientists and the dissem ination of costly literature to prove their activity
