Republican presidential candidate,
was at the zenith Of his popularity in
Minnesota. The name or Johnson
was suggested to the Democratic con-
vention as a good candidate for gov
ernor and the young editor was
named to lead the forlorn hope.
SO well did he lead Z that although
the Republican national ticket swept
the state, John A. Johnson was elect
ed governor by a substantial ma
jority. His administration also was
peculiarly successful ana he was re-

Goodlan, Kas., Sept. 21.-Presl-

he speaks tonight in the Auditorium.
at Denver, where Bryan was nomiu-
ated, he will face an audience COM
posed largely of Pinchot's friends.
AS he will defend Balllnger. a cold
reception, or a hot one, is expected.
He says he wants to start the dis
cussion of several important sub
jects, SO the people win know what
they want and let the congressman
know by next winter when they
convene. Probably he will not men,
ton Pinchot, but he will refer hiin

course of those who try to carry out
the conservation plans without. re-

Taft at Denver and accompany him

IAN examination of the decisions

Making Moving Pictures.

In suburb of Paris is a factory where cinematograph films are made. The company operating the business has large tract of land fitted up as an amphitheater, within which are entitled the blood-curdling scences which delight audiences in the nov ing picture shows. Recently pictures were made depicting the death of young Christian maiden in a den of lions. Vestal virgins, courtiers and knights marched around the arena and then took seats safely outside huge cage. A young girl was strap ped upon a cross within the cage and seventeen real lions were let loose. The lions were exceptionally hungry and made short work of the poor martyr. They were borrowed from an animal show and had been kept with out food for three or four days. They tore the maiden limb from limb and spilled her blood all over the cage, but the maiden didn't even scream for help-her flesh was papier mache stuffed with raw beefsteaks.

capital in the venture and is now demonstrating a test plant at 536 South Spring street. A company has been formed under the name of the Pan American Ore Reduction Com pany, with George H. Sisson, of New York, president; Francis Owings, also of New York, secretary-treasurer, and Edwin L. Anderson, general manager. It is claimed that copper can be produced at practically half the usual cost of smelling and the in- Yentor has recently elaborated and improved the process to include the reduction of gold, silver and lead ores. According to MT. Anderson, it is the company's intention to erect ten-ton plant in this city for the purpose of conducting experiments on commer- cial scale. Some time ago MT. An dersou installed small plant for the Cornelia Copper Company, at Ajo, Ariz., and subsequently, conducted some successful experiments at the Shannon mines. The process, as in stalled at the Cornelia, received at tentiou in Stevens Copper Handbook for 1908 and MT. Stevens then said {: ''The practicability of the Anderson eleCtrolytic process remains to be demonstrated-but it is certain that his process actually will make copper, the cruX of the matter lying in the question of costs" Since that time MT. Anderson has devoted close study to the elucidation of metallurgical questions involved and is now confident that his process has been perfected to the point where it has become a complete commercial success. Those interested in the matter are cordially invited to inspect the test plant. Everything is open to the most searching investigation.-Los Angeles

Attorney General Says Election Law
 is Invalid.

Information of unusual interest, and that which is likely to cause un- precedented comment and a stir in political ranks of this territory, has been given out by Attorney General John B. Wright, in which he pro- nounced the primary election law enacted by the last territorial as sembly as invalid, because of it's. am- biguity and uncertainty.
 The attorney general has been en- gagged during the past few days in paration of the forms necessitated by the primary election law, and, to use the slang expression, was himself "up in the air" as to the construction of this work of the legislature. The law, Mir. Wright says, is in such a shape as to cause speculation as to the validity of many of its phases, and is calculated to cause trouble at election time.
 The enactment, it is said, is re- construction of primary laws of var tion of petition by each nominee, signed by a prescribed number of names, so many days before the pri- mary.
 According to MT. Wright, it vii give grounds for contests of elections held by virtue of its construction, and will be the cause of trouble and delay in county elections. Accord ing to his statement, office seekers cannot lose any time in preparing for coming elections. He does not hesitate to pronounce it invalid, and in his opinion the courts will so hold, should it ever come before them for judicial construction.
 In discussing the new primary cleo tion law with pewspaper repre- sentative MT. Wright said: "The city of Tucson is to have an election next December. The politicians should begin now to study the law referred to, because if it's intricate maChin- cry is not set in motion within the next few weeks, such city election will be invalidated, providing, of course, that the primary law is up held.
 MT. Wright freely predicts that the courts will be called upon to de- eide the validity of the enactment, and there is likely to be something doing" in political affairs of the ter .ritory as a result.
The copper era., 1909-08-05

What is in effect to pronuncia- mento to the public at large is the statement made by w. A. Stuart, as- sistant forester, to Douglas Inter- national reporter, regarding the pur- chase of cord wood.
 "Whoever purchases cord wood not bearing government stamp lays himself liable under the law to the extent of amount paid for the wood," MT. Stuart said. And as he mention ed the subject his eyes were ro7ing up and down the street in quest of wood wagons.
 "Nine-tenths of the cord wood sold in Arizona is taken from the public domain and very little of it, I am in- formed, bears the government stamp. This stamp is not placed on every stick of wood, but it will be found at the end of several sticks of each load, and private citizens should be very careful when buying wood to as- certain if it bears the stamp. If it does not the purchaser is liable.
 "Wood-cutters, I have recently found out, are encroaching upon the public domain in a manner that will meet with the most vigorous treat ment by government representatives. They go up the little draws leading to the mountains where they find some timber and this they appro- priate and sell. All timber cutting on the public domain must first have the consent of the proper officials and when this is not secured the law is violated.
 "We don't want any private citi- zens who are innocent of any malice to get into trouble in this way, hence this notification. Look for the stamp and if it can't be found question the owner of the wood closely, and if his account of the origin of the wood is not satisfactory, don't buy it."

School for Forest Men.

For the instruction of forest service rangers a school will be opened on September on the Coconino national forest near Flagstaff.
 Each of the six districts into which the forest service in the west is divided has provided for the instruc- tion of rangers, but the school to be established by the Albuquerque office is unique in that it is to be located in the forest itself.
 The schools in the other districts are held at some university and many of the courses will be given by university instructors, who conduct such work as does not require famili- arity with technical forest matters. In the school on the Coconino, instruc- tion will be given entirely by officers of the forest service.
 While the courses in theoretical forestry are given careful attention, the greatest stress is put upon in- struction along practical lines, such as surveying, estimating timber, mapping, road and trail making, of- fee routine, camp practice and pack ing, and the men will put into actual practice, under filed conditions, the theories and principles taught in the lectures.
 The student body of this school will be composed entirely ot rangers from the twenty-one national forests in the southwest. Owing to the pres sure of work on the national forests, only forty rangers can be spared this summer. These men will be detailed in classes of twenty each, one class during September and one during October. The men will have to work extremely hard because of the short time at the disposal of the school and the wide scope of the subjects to be covered.
 The school will be under canvas, and will serve as an illustration of a model camp.
