Editor THE CHRONICLE:
In the last issue of your paper
we notice among the list of teach
ers appointed one who is a mer-
chant in your town. lsthere such
a dearth of teachers that the school
board find it necessary to select
business man to teach one of the
best paying schools in the county?
/ understand there are on an
average of nearly two teachers to
every school in the county. With
such corps Of efficient teachers
manyof them perienced teachers
there ought to be one capable OF
teaching that school.
The ambitious young people OF
the county have patronized your
school and town for the past sew
eral years, some of whom are the
supportand mainstay of the home,
Others making their own way in
life, no matter how hard and diff
cult the struggle.
Is it Justice to any one OF them
to deprive them of a school they
have SO rightfully earned? Will
he be man enough to resign IN
their favor, even though he may
have the assurance that friendly
aid may be rendered ia holding
the place?
? A FRIEND OF TEACHERS.

COMES WELL REcoMMEHpsD.

gentlemen who has come into this vicinity in charge of large min ing enterprise, will be read with much interest by readers of TIE OASIS:
 George P. Moore, by the way, is one of Omaha's best known men, not only here, but in every pro- miuent city of this continent. Coming to Omaha in 1868, when a mere boy, he engaged in the paint, oil and glass business with R. c. Steele.
 When the Omaha White Lead company was started in 1878 Mir. Moore became associated with that infant industry and by his untir- ing energy soon succeeded in secur- ing for it a large and constantly growing patronage. In 1885 this company transferred it's property to the Carter White Lead company, of which Levi Carter, vice president of the old corporation, became pres ident and remained Tn that posi- tion until his death few years ago. William A. Paxton, who had d hand in promoting many Omaha enterprises, was president of the old Omaha White Lead company.
 MT. Moore, continuing with the Carter White Lead company, be- came acquainted with the best bus. iness men in all the leading cities of the United States, owing to the fact that as general representative of the company his duties called him everywhere. No one knows his country more thoroughly than MT Moore.
 Five years ago, when the Carter White Lead company moved its headquarters to Chicago, where it has the largest plant of it's kind in the world, Mir. Moore went along with 1t to become general sales manager at a very large salary, he having direction of the entire out put of the Chicago and Omaha plants. He recently resigned this remunerative position to accept the presidency and general manager ship of the Tribune Gold Mining and Milling company. It must have been very tempting propo- sition that lured Mir. Moore from the Carter White Lead company with whom he had been associated nearly all his business life, but be- ing shrewd, progressive and far seeing business man, he probably knew what he was doing, and re- suits so far show that he was ab- solutely correct.
 The properties of the Tribune Gold Mining and Milling company are located in Magdalena district, state of Sonora, Mexico, and consist of over 150 acres, not far from the celebrated mines controlled by Col onel Greene, mining operator of International fame and success. The capital stock of the Tribune Gold Mining and Milling company is S5,000,000, the shares being $1 each. The company is organized under the laws of Arizona. Its of ficers and directors are George P. Moore, president and general man. ager; H. o. Stokes, vice president; Jacob White, treasurer; Charles A. White, secretary; A. A. Crosby, with Armour & Co.,; E. c. Johnson of Evansville, Ind, wholesale deal- CT in paints and glass, and Henry E. Billau, with Sherwin, Williams Cl---- ---l A

the property, upon which large sum of money has been expended in development work, equipment, buildings, and go on The names of four of the properties are El Key de Gro (The King of Gold), La Reina de Gro (The Queen of Gold). El Venado (The Stag), El Tesoro Escondido (The Hidden Treasure) The general office of the company is in Chicago. President Moore is now en route to the City of Mexico on business connected with his company.
 Percy NJ. Carter, recently man. ager of the Montreal branch of the Carter White Lead company, left Omaha Tuesday evening for Mag dalena to take the local manage ment of the company's properties. Mr. Carter is nephew of the late Levi Carter and a brother of Fred Carter of Chicago, vice president of the Carter White Lead company.
 Mir. MOore's many friends in Omaha and elsewhere will be glad to learn of his good fortune. We in Omaha who have known him over thirty-five years know him to be a man of enterprise and in- tegrity, and that his word is as good as government bond. He is d man in whom acquaintances and friends have the utmost confidence. He comes from good old revolutionary stock. His great grandfather, Mark Moore, fought with Washington.

MUSIC PIRACY ARGUMENT.
Composers' Rights Under Copyright
Law Before Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court chamber yesterday
looked like a music store. There was a
large exhibit Of perforated sheet music
on an easel facing the judges and on the
table Of counsel there were samples Of
all mechanical musie-playing devices. in
eluding rolls Of perforated music, discs.
such as are used in music boxes, cyln-
ders used in the phonOgraph and talking
machines, &c.
This display was occasioned by the pre-
sentation of test case to determine
whether strict construction Of the cOpy-
right law would protect the composer of
music against the appropriation of his
music by the makers Of mechanical music
machines.
The Circuit Court at New York and
the Federal Court of Appeals held that
the copyright laws. construed literally,
did not afford that protection The mu-
steal company which brought the original
suit took an appeal to the Supreme Court.
