4 TERRIBLE REWARD.

crsmwelI's Payment For the Capture
Of Pembroke Castle.
During the struggle between King
Charles and the parliament Pembroke
castle was 80 well fortified that Crom-
well, with all his cannon, could not
take It.
After many failures he gave up his
intention and began to march on for
Tenby. But before he had proceeded
far q country shoemaker came up to
Cromwell and asked him whether he
would reward him II he would tell him
how to get the castle into his posses
sion.
Cromwell. very glad Of this offer.
consented. Then this old shoemaker,
glad to get some money, as no doubt
he was rather poor, told him that there
was q pipe through which they got
their water and that II he were to cut
the pipe the castle would surrender.
Cromwell said, II thank you for the
information you have given me, but as
you have turned traitor to your coun-
trymen the only reward I viii give you
u that you shall be hanged on the very
| next tree that I come to-"
Cromwell had the shoemaker hanged
and cut the pipe he had told him Of,
leading to the castle. which then sur
rendered.-London Telegraph.

the Stalwats ire not for Roosevelt or Taft unless it carries Senator Kilt
redges endorsement with it. Which simply means that the stalwarts are
for kittredge first and any body for President otherwise they would have
voted for the above resolutions The fact that they did not simply proves
their insinceriy. The above resolutions were carried by a vote of 20 to 10.

Thus we see that. Including the levy OF II, NILS Q the equipment OF a
state Irvine plant, which was provided for by the constitutional amendment
and fol which the tax levy board of 1907 was in o way responsible, the total

1t has been repeatedly said by the stalwart press that the stalwat ID

these, emergency warrants to the amount of $25OOOO, a totalo f $6oONOO.
The taxes received between February and June 81. the close Of the fiscal sa
year, were sufficient, however, to take up all of the registered warrants; tut
in order to do this, it was found necessary to issue the emergency warrants

In te first place it is but fair to state that comparisons between the levy
of 1907 and that o. 1906 are misleading, owing to III well known fact that
the levy for a year in which a legislative session is held is always larger
than that for a year in which there is n 10 session, because the large appropria
tons are generally used Immediately following the session that provides for
them. Another reason for the larger levy on Legislative years. is that the de-
fciency levy, whenever n is necessary is always made O n legislative years.
Take, for instance, the levy for 1903-a legislative year. In this year

COST OF COPPER.

The cost Of producing copper In
Butte has. during recent years, run
from . to 12h cents per pound. the
average being about ION cents. The
high cost is due to many causes, prin-
cipally to extensive and expensive
permanent improvements and explor-
atoms. to inefficient labor. (due to
the independence OF labor during the
copper boom days and the mining
litigation and political strife which
made 1t necessary to give employ
ment to voters" regardless of their
capabilities). to the increase in wages
and cost Of supplies, and higher rail-
road rates. Many OF these causes
have been done away with since the
fall In the price Of copper; wages
have been reduced to the normal
standard and miners are giving al
least Is per cent better results than
formerly, prospecting work stopped
and permanent improvements com
pleted. 1t is therefore expected thai
copper will be produced hencefortf
at a cost not to exceed an average
Of . or ~ cents per pound.-Min
