BACK TO NATURE
Trimble Sees Chance to Make For
tune and Get Good Exercise.

Editor w. S. Trimble of the Re-
public and family are moving into
the western suburbs of Wenatchee
today, Mr.. Trimble having recently
bought a five-acre orchard out there.
This is practicing what one breaches
for what newspaper man is not an
advocate of the life on the farm?
One thousand dollar profits per acre
IN a fruit crop that grows while one
sleeps is, also, We may judge, an in
centive. Besides the mile-and-a-half
stroll every morning, noon and night
will serve admirably to give an Of
flee man healthful exercise in good
air. Here's wishing the editor in
his farming capacity the greatest
success.

HUMAN RATTLE
BOX IN TOWN
Ellis Whitman, Who Dislocates Any
Joint at Will is in Wenatchee
Today. q y

He Jerks himself into all kinds of
shapes, kicks all of the bones of his
legs out of joint, pulls his heart
down into his stomach, throws his
arms out of joint, turns the larynx
or Adams apple upside down, and
rattles his bones like baby does a
rattIe-box. Ellis Whitman is his
name and he is now in this city.
He is probably the greatest hu-
man rattle-box alive today. This
man has appeared before many med
ical societies all over the country,
and one year ago was in this city
when he gave an exhibition before
the medical men of Wenatchee.
Whitman has exhibited not only
in America but also in Germany,
England and France. He has new
err appeared before the general pub
lie.
In various cities he has had him
self brought to some physician, who
is informed that the young man has
met with a street car accident. The
doctor examines, and sure enough
there is a decided dislocation of the
right anterior hip. The doctor
turns around for an instrument, but
is Mortified upon returning to his
patient to find his hip in normal
condition, but the right posterior hip
is out of joint Next time he turns
his back the hip goes quietly back
in place and the left hip takes
kink, and the play. goes on from
hip to shoulder until the doctor
imagines that he had been out the
night before.
He was in the Daily World office
this morning, and to hear his bones
rattle makes you think of the break
ing of heavy timbers in building
in the distance.

chez and Waterville, who will meet,
shake hands and exchange mutual
fluctuations over mid-stream upon
the magnificent new structure, has
already been announced.
AS the time for the opening APP
proaches the World hears many COM
ments which show that the people
are beginning to fully appreciate
what the new bridge means to Cen
trail Washington, marking, as 1t does,
an epoch in the development of the
country, and it has occurred to
many, as to the World, that no
pains ought be spared at this time
to fttingly celebrate so suspicious
an occasion.
The World could fill a column
with suggestions which it has heard
to say nothing of its own-of de-
sirable features to be worked into
the program for a day of general
festivity.
AS an instance, City Marshall Fer
guson, manager of the Wenatchee
Opera House, promises special play
for that night, and says: 81 suggest
the burying of the hatchet-not SIM
ply theoretically speaking, but by
actual demonstration. Let the We

natchee mayor carry, as he goes TO
meet the Waterville mayor, . huge
Ratchet. and let the Waterville may
or. as he comes forward from DOUG
las county. carry also gigantic SYM
boil of the veracity of Washington.
The Waterville fellows can have
blood on their axes II they insist on
tive might allow that much as a
final concession. But the hatchets
will be buried. On the bridge floor
there will be two boxes filed with
dirt. Each mayor, assisted by his
council. will bury his Ratchet in a
box and the boxes will then be seiz-
ed and thrown into the river. In
that way W shall hope to have seen
the last of the hatchets."
1t has occurred also to the World
and to others that subscription
might be taken up-under the direc-
tion of the Wenatchee Commercial
Club, perhaps-and a free banquet
given to all visitors from Waterville
and Douglas county. This is an
idea which may be acted upon and
elaborated.
Other plans for the opening of
the bridge, it is understood, include
the presence of Governor Mead, and
of a number of railroad men and
many other men prominent in the
financial and development circles in
the northwest We have not yet
heard whether the railroad and c..
& o. Steamboat Co. will give special
rates.

We will now feel much more friend

Resolved, Whereas we have

days an effort has been made to

with the former Lily White move

Lily White party in Alabama, We
do enter our most solemn protest
against any individual or individu-
ais or organization that will in any
degree give aid or comfort to the
Lily White party in this state, and
further resolved, that we will in
form our brothers in the Northern
States as soon as we know of any
presidential candidate recognizing
the Lily White m yement in the
South, so that both in the primary
election and in the vote for presi-
dent they may cast their votes and
date who recognizes the Lily White
party"

TEN YEARS SHOW
 WONDERFUL STRIDE.
Progress of Arizona Copper MineS Within
 Period is Remarkable.

An old State street man says:
 "When look over the list of copper
 shares in Boston, and then go back
 only 10 years, the growth in copper
 mining is a striking one.
 - ''Ouly 10 or F years ago we had fit
 tie to consider but the Lake and Butte
 mines. At the Lake we had Calumet
 Osceola, Tamarack, Quincy, Wolver- inc, Atlantic, Centennial and Frank lin. We had no Copper Range, An meek, Mohawk and OntOnagon mines
 In Butte, we had only Aaaconda, Boston & Montana and Butte x Bos ton. The only producer in California was the Mountain Copper Co.,, an Eng fish corporation, the stock of which was never traded in. The company is now practically out of business. In Utah, the Utah Consolidated was only a small gold property and its future very uncertain.
 "We did not have any United States Smelling, Utah Copper, Boston Con- solidated or other properties in which Boston capital is now heavily inter- ested.
 Arizona was no factor. The Cop per Queen and United Verde were producing copper, but in comparative lv small amounts compared with now, and they were both close corporations Old Dominion had just come on the market, and its future was prOblemat ical.
 ''The Clifton camp was confined to the operations of the Arizona Copper whose shares were never quoted in this market Within q short space of 10 years Boston has become largely interested in extensive mining opera tions in Arizona, Utah and Cal ifornia.
 Arizona has grown in copper pre- duction from under O0,OOJ, 900 D lunds | per annum to 26j,O0O,OJO pounds-and !! promises to take first place in copper | production for all time. Utah was then producing under lO,OOO,OO0 pounds per annum and growing 
 Boston interest in copper mining, however, has kept pace with the growth of the mines in these various states and territories, and it has maintained its place as the leading copper share market in the world. l believe it will continue to d. so al though New York has, in the last few years, shown d remarkable depree of interest,"
The copper era., 1908-11-05
Demand for Copper Better.

There is every indication that the
 red metal is in greater demand, says
 the Mining Record. both in this coun-
 try and in Europe, than has been
 generally conceded by writers of
 mining topics. Last month, the
 United States exported very close
 to 10000 tons of copper, showing an
 increase by about l5 per cent. over che copper exports of September,
 1907. European experts point to the fact that if the heavy European buy ing were being done for speculative purposes, the average speculator Whether an individual or a syndicate) would have begun marseting the cop per when it showed an advance ot better than one cent d pound.
 This export trade, keeping up to point where it is ab-orbing 80 per cent. of America's mjximum produc- tion, shows very clearly that higher copper prices must naturally result. A great many of the orders that might have been looked for prior to this are being placed on the shelf, until, for political reasons, they can be safely placed. The red metal is still lowering very close to fourteen cents pound, and some very notice ably large orders have recently been placed by domestic consumers. Therefore, the news from the f. uancial and market centers indicates that November will witness the closing of very large contracts in this country. The Nevada Consoli- dated and the Cumberland-Eiy have recently closed a contract with | he Smelling and Refining (meauing, of course. the Guggenheims) for the sale of the en- tire production of these Ely prop critics

Report That Diaz Will Resign Office.

That President Diaz has deter mined not only not to be a candidate to succeed himself as president of Mexico at the coming election but has stated emphatically and at re- cent date that he will retire, obtain ing permission from the national con- gress to do so, long while before the election takes place. was sta.ed in an article pVblished by Fl Diario del Hogan in its issue of the 20th inst
 The Diario del Hogar states that "this sensational and unexpected news has reached that paper from a most reliable source, and, although the paper iS reserved in publishing the fact. there i@ nothing improper in doing so as it deeply concerns the entire natiOn.''
 This. if accurate. is the first and only iutimAtion which the people of Mexico have had tom the supreme magistrate concerning his intentions in regard to re-eleciIOn. outside of the famous Creelman interview pub lished ir PearSon's magazine six months ago.
 In that interview General Daz was credited as saying he would never be a candidate again for the presidency, but it has been generally believed that changed circumstances and the apparent absolute perativeness that he should continue in office would cause him to change his intentions and on this point the entire nation has entertained the most lively and keen interest for the past several months

Piled With Whiskey and Robbed of 5000

John Scanlon, a well known mining
 man of Tucson, is said to be minus SlGOO owing to a visit he paid to the
 bad lands," better known as Gay alley.
 It would seem that Scanlon, who is a bout sixty years of age, recently received something over S2O, ,OOO through the sale of mining property in which he had been interested. Last Saturday he went to the bank. deposited all but S250) and gave Sl010 of this to his niece, whom he saw of on an early morning train Sunday. He then told the cabman to take him to his residence on Broadway, but it appears that instead of doing this the jehu drove him to the glitteriug light district and there left him.
 Wallapai Clark. his mining partner, became suspicious when he did not turn up at the hotel and. seeking Policeman Moon, started off in search for him. About II o'clock Sunday morning they found him in the home of one of the women in the tender loin, liquor having got d little the best of him.
 When taken home Scanlon, was minus 5000 of the wad he had wi:h him when he left his niece at the depot, but could not account for the disappearance of his bank roll.
 Once before when Scanlon came to Tucson with pile of money, he was rolled for some S700, and it is be- lieved he was dealt with in d like manner this time. AS on the former occasion, the cab driver was the one who had taken him to lhe red light istrict.-TucsOn Exchange.
