ter copper from Idaho In 1905 was
s,678,0a6 pounds, gain OF about L.
800, 900 pounds over the output OF 1905.
The mine production amounts to g.
bbS, 9l3 pounds. The difference be-
tween the mine and the smelter pro-
duction IN 1905 is due to the fact that
q very large quantity OF Idaho ore was
he!ds In storage at Canadian and Paci-
flo coast reduction works at the end of
the year. Much OF the product came
from the Snowstorm mine, In the Coeur
d'Alene district, and from the White
Knob mine, at Mackay, Custer county.

A LETTER FROM |. S1ADSTkD
In Which He Refutes Ce- tain
Charges Made BY the VIII

The following is an open letter
written by Mr.. Stadstad to the
Wilmot R publican in refutation
OF an article which appeared a
few weeks a go in that paper, and
which the Republican had not
the courtesy to publish.

progressive candidates, including
Stadstad, Wilcox. Lewis and
Hicks" for the reason that the
statement is not wholly true and
has a tendency to injure my can
dldacy for the office Of Clerk Of
Courts of this County.
In view Of this statement
published by you, | feel called
upon to state the facts as / know
them to be. Early this spring /
announced myself a candidate
for the office to which | now as
pire and proceeded n the proper
manner to bring my desires be-
fore the people of this county,
as | had the undoubted right to
do under the primary law for
which so many of the people of
this county labored and voted
four and two years ago. Neither
did | then, nor do | now seek
other means to secure the nomi-
nation than by the vote Of the
whole Republican party at the
June prim ries. Nothing was
further from my mind than an
indorsen.ent from any political
faction of said party, and while
thus proceeding with my candi-
dacy | received the following
letter:

candidate for state senator, Dave
Eastman and Charlie Porter Of

The object of the meeting. S
stated by McNulty, was to re-
duce the candidates of the pro-
gresslve party to one for each
office, and he stated that some
solution to this effect must be
found. Hours passed in fruit
less efforts and in protest
against this alleged method to
! thl"rafr't the ambitions and desires
of the candidates. The candi-
dates present, except a few who
were afterwards endorsed and
put upon the slate, requested
and urged to be allowed to go be-
fore the people at the primaries
in June, but their requests were
unheeded. The stern will of the
representatives If the local ma
chine would not listen to their
desires or the requests and when
the hope Of these leaders that
the candidates would lie down
and allow them to dictate a slate
of their favorites passed, Frank
McNulty, in the might of his in
J dignation and in no uncertain
tone, said there are some can

that they take their own per-
sonal interests more at heart

There was brief debate In the Senate
yesterday upon the resolution reported by

by citizens Of the United States or by the

pose question WAS raised by Mr. Till
man as to whether the government should
not handle its own cement plant IN the
Canal Zone. and manufacture the article
instead OF importing IL from the United
States
The Senator from South Carolina de-
cIared that there was a cement trust in
the United States. and that the resolution
under consideration look 10 him as 4 it
would benefit ''the shipping trust and the
cement trust"
Mr. Teller said no person could estimate
the amount OF cement that would be re-
quired 60 build the canal, and he hoped
the resolution would be modified 10 pre-
vent the vessel owners from levying ex-
tortions through a monopoly. The resolu-
ton finally went over until Wednesday.
Mr. W. NJ. Harper. who represents a
large Virginia cement company in Wash

has proposed TO the government 10 manu-
facture its own cement at the company's

from New Workers.

Representative Fowler. of New Jer-

by delegation representing the Mer-

delegation presented to the President
an address on the currency question.

paragraph OF the address is as follows.
The Aldrich bin now before the
Senate proposes to fasten upon US an
extension Of the vicious principles now
Inherent in our present currency sys-
TEN. which have been rejected by the
| experience of all nations. It is now
being opposed by the constantly in
creasing opinions OF the mercantile and
financial bodies throughout the land,
practically without dissent"
The delegation in its address 10 the
President went on TO indorse the Fow-
Ter bill in the House, saying that II is
designed to correct the defects Of our
| currency by basing It upon principles
which have been tried and approved
by our own experience before the civil
war or by that of other communities;
and to eliminate one expensive risk
attendant upon industrial operations.
which is now an unnecessary element
of the cost Of our products to the con-
sumner, and an obstacle to the extension
of our foreign trade"
The address concludes as follows
I'VE are here TO invite your cOnsidera-
tion to the Importance of setting our
house in order at this session Of Con-
gress. now that attention has been
concentrated uDon the subject. and TO
ask you to further the efforts OF your
fellow citizens TO secure so important
reform; which in our judgment will

SIX MONTHS BEHIND.

Wall Street has suddenly awakened to

next Republican candidate for president
and is discovering that in spite of the fact
that he is Roosevelts own candidate.
picked out by the president year ago.
and that he endorses the presidents poll
cies in every public address. he never
theless possesses many attractive quail
ties as a statesman.
Wall Street has simply discovered a
fact which was clearly announced on
August l. 1907, by the Wall Street Jour
nal. On that date the Wall Street Journal
said that Secretary Taft was far in adj
vance for the next Republican nominal
ton. 1t named among Mr.. Tafts con-
spicuous qualifications as a candidate his
high personal character, his capacity for
public work. his independence of any
corrupt commercial affiliations and po-
litical rings and his judicial and dipIo-
matte talents. II stated that Secretary
Taft was in entire sympathy with the
general scope and purpose OF the Roose-
welt policy and that the president made
no concealment OF the favor with which
he regarded Mr.. Tafts candidacy. 1t fur
Their said that If elected president. it was
safe to assume that Secretary Taft would
continue the Roosevelt policy as regards
government supervision Of the corpora
tons. but that he himself would be the
president Of the United States in fact as
well As in name, and that he would dis
play in that Office the same judicial and
diplomatic qualities as have distinguished
his public life heretofore
II seems TO have taken the speculative
portion OF Wall Street about six months
to learn for itself the truth Of all this.
