THE SCOT OF STEEL

An article on "The Cost and the
Profits of Steel Making in the United
States" in the last Quarterly Journal
of Economics gives some interesting
information. The writer says that
the United States steel corporation can
put down ore at Pittsburg for about So
for ton of ore The coke and lime
stone cost less than So, while the labor
and maintenance charges ut the furnace
cost 81. Thus the total cost Of prOtluc-
ton of ton Of iron does not exceed IS,
and yet for many months i'll 1906 and
1907 the prevailing price of iron was
$50 a ton. That was the price paid by
the steel maker who was unable to
make his own iron.
The cost of converting pig iron to
steel is 81 ton in the less efficient plants
in some parts of the country, but at
Pittsburg it is about 81 The rolling of
rails from ingots costs So in modern
mill. Thus the total cost of Il ton of
rails is not to exceed S15. The steel
trust could sell at $40 ton if it had to,
but it demands and gets $2S ton.
There is u duty of three-tenths of
cent IL pound, or $G.72 IL long ton, on
steel. Manifestly the United States
steel corporation does not stand in need
of the protection the duty gives That
corporation can manufacture more
cheaply than it's American competitors
because of its ownership of ore beds
and coke ovens and because the labor
cost is less in it's great plants than in
the smaller ones. But even the steel
makers with inferior facilities do not
need SO much protection as is given by
the present duty on steel, IL duty which
contributes to the enormous profits
which the steel trust is making. 1t
should not he allowed to force American
railroads to pay $28 ton for rails when
it could make a handsome profit by
selling at $50. In 1906 the steel corpor-
alton manufactured 1900, 900 tons of
steel ing0ts and each ton contributed
nearly $l2 to the net earnings of the
corporation. The steel consumers of the
company had to pay excessive prices in
order that such Il showing might be
made. Chicago Tribune.

An Optical Illusion

An interesting optical experiment may
be made with the ordinary incandescent
light. Gaze steadily at the light for a
few seconds, then suddenly eXtinguish
it. The experiment is best performed
in very dark room. In about half a
minute you will see the perfect image
of the light, with the strands of wire
plainly visible. 1t will be red at first.
In few minutes it will turn purple and
then bright blue. Later it will ap-
parently move to the right. AS you
turn your gaze it will continue moving
to the right. If you keep your gaze
fixed it will come back, 1t is surprising
how long the illusion will last. It will
be seen for fully five minutes, perhaps
longer, and if You turn on the light and
look away from it you will see the old
image for several minutes, though more
family than in the darkness. Exchange.

Nothing Doing

There was a meeting Of the stock
holders of the State Bank and Trust
company yesterday afternoon but from
the announcement made by those at
tending the meeting, nothing was ac-
complished. The plan of assessing each
share of stock at the rate of 800 was
discussed but nothing was done to bcne-
fit the depositors and creditors of the
institution.
According to the information given
out former president T. B. Hickey
agreed to pay an assessment of 800 each
on 1000 shares. The other eight direct
Ors agreed to pay the assessment on BOZ
shares, this being the total because
several of the directors would only pay
on Il portion of their stock. This made
u total of 1906 shares oe stock fully
protected at the rate of 300 the share
1t was reported that persons holding
375 shares of stock were willing to as
sign the stock to any person or persons
that would meet the assessments this
left $50 shares of stock on which nc
action had been secured, the holders OF
this amount refusing to meet the assess
ment or to assign their stock. &c.,.
That was tho situation ND to thos,
present and it resulted i'm no action to

OF Interest TO Ranchers

Mr.. Weber, manager of the Grayson
ranch, at Beowawe, is in town. He told
the INDEPENDENT this afternoon that
he planted small patch of sorghum
two years ago and that it made such fine
feed for cattle that he sent to Missouri
for more seed and planted larger patch
last year. The yield was about seven
tons to the acre. He found that cattle
ate it readily i'll the winter and thrived
Oh it. His experiments proved so sue
cessful that he will SOW two tons of seed
this year. A ton of the dry sorghum,
he says, equals a ton of alfalfa. The
seed costs five cents a pound.
Mr. Weber has promised to report to
the INDEPENDENT the result of his crop
this year. If it proves the success he
thinks it will, the raising of sorghum
will be a profitable industry for the far
mers of Nevada.

Some Kansas Whiskers


An Iowa man is visiting relatives in
q Kansas town who is said to have the
longest beard on record, the man being
5 feet inches, while the beard is feet
5 inches. To get about with his beard
the Iowa man tucks it under his vest
and winds it about his body 1t is a
trait of long bearded men that they
take as much pride in the length and
profuson of their whiskers as women
like the seven Sutherland sisters do of
their hair This Iowan's hirsute foliage
is the subject of envy and newspaper
comments. To reporter he stated that
he had watched the newspapers care
full for twenty years on the subject of

this monopoly under proper govern
ment supervision.
What is of more importance to
the public, however, is the fact that
the cost of all free messages be-
comes in the end tax on those
messages which pay tolls. If there
is any excuse for the recent in

increases in telegraph tolls, 1t
would be found in the wholesale

women of Seattle are the heaviest
losers. If it were not for them,
the racetrack could not stay open
ten days"
A hard fight will be made by the
racing fraternity before the legis-
lature on Hanson's bill. Already
they have proposed to amend the
bill so as to make it effective Jan
uary l, 1910, in order to have rae
ing at the Meadows track during
the Alaska Yukon, Pacific exposi-
ton. but public sentiment is in fa-
vor of making Seattle as morally
clean as possible during the exposi-
ton and protecting visitors from
losses at the racetrack. which, at
best, would be diversion from the
