hunters TO the woods. During the

Richardson or his deputies and il is

Many local hunters have been going
into the woods for partrldges during
the last few days and the number is
likely 20 increase as the season adj
vances. Some few hunters have been
especially fortunate and have returned
with well filed bags. but The majority

STANDARD TIME DESIRABLE.

During the past few weeks, since
the adoption of mine time in Calumet,
several patrons of the Calumet theater
and other local places have requested
The News to call attention to the fact
that it would be much more satisfac-
tory to them If such places should use
standard time, instead of adopting mine
time. They assert that the stores of
Calumet and many of the other bust
ness places use standard time, and
that ii is impossible for them to be
present at the opening of any enter
tainment which starts on mine time.
The suggestion is made that compro-
mise be affected, by which the curtain
would rise at the theater at SAL mine
time, or S:15 standard which would
provide an opportunity for all 10 at
tend without greatly inconviencing
any of the patrons.

WHY is MEAT HIGH?

OF late meat dealers have often been
asked the question. "Why are the pri-
ces Of meat so high?" One dealer
blames the high price and scarcity OF
meat to the great demand by fSe1gn
countries, which is being met by this
country without the raising of any
more stock. He also said that the TAX
ing up Of land i'm the west by settlers
who go in for fruit and grain raising
has cut off a great deal of pasture
land. and no great amount of beef can
be raised by any one man. Lard. he
said is high because Of the large call
for loins and tenderloins, which come
from small pork. so that hogs that
were before slaughtered after being fed
about eight months are now killed
when only few months old.

a Famous RepIy.

The career of AXel Oxenstjerna Is
Il proud chapter in the history of Swe-
den. In 1911 OXenstjerna became the
chancellor of the Swedish empire, I'M
der Gustavus Adolphus, and much Of
the glory that befell the reign of that
remarkable monarch was due to "the
mastery diplomatic ability. great cour-
age, resource and moderation" of his
prime minister. For In the days Of
Oxenstjerna Sweden was one of the
powers" of Europe. and the Swedish
dominion for a time extended over
Prussian territory. During the entire
period of the Thirty Years war in
Europe Sweden, through the inStru-
mentality of her mighty man In
peace" maintained an enviable place
In the council of nations. And when
in 164S negotiations for general con-
tinental agreement began at Osna-
bruck the Swedish chancellor appoint
| cd his own son, Johan, as the Swedish
representative. the son expressed his
distrust of his ability to properly serve
| his country in so responsible a ca
pacity TO this natural diffidence of
| youth the father made his famous re-
ply:
"Dost thou not know, my son, with
| how little wisdom the world is gov.
| erned!'

HOpkins' Defeat.

There is no authority greater than
that which emanates from the people,
Members of the state legislature who
are clinging to the hopeless candidacy
of United States Senator Albert ].
Hopkins because of the conscientious
scruples they may entertain about the
advisory" primary election vote taken
last fall can wash away the sin Of
violation of that primary obligation in
the shower of public approval that
will follow the defeat of Senator Hop
kins.
There is only a small coterie of per-
sons who want Hopkins returned tn
the senate. They are the few who
have the big federal jobs, and who are
enjoying fat salaries therefrom.
In effecting the defeat of Albert j
Hopkins the Illinois general assembly
is performing a real public service
which will reflect credit upon not
only those participating in his defeat
but reflect credit upon the state of
Illinois which Hopkins has misrepre
scented in the federal senate.

George Z. Wagaman, an old soldier
whose home is in Nashville, Washing,

government Office, has prepared some
interesting information about the men
who were born and raised in Illinois,
and who are representatives in con-
gress from other states. From his

state, in addition to its own delegation
of q congressman and senators, has
furnished 10 additional Legislators foI

Illinois has six United States sen
ators-four others beside Cullom and

Senator-elect Wesley Jones of Wash
ington. Mr.. Hansbrough was born in
Randolph county, Illinois. and spent
his early boyhood there. His colleague
from North Dakota, Mr.. McCumber
was born at Crete, in Will county, his
parents moving from there when he
was one year old. Mr.. Borah first saw
the light of day at Enfield and Mr.

Nature of the Bills.

Nature of the Bills.
From authentic sources comes the in
formation that certain members of the
unofficially, not to force the passage of
the three bills pending before that
body that are objected 10 by Japan
The first empowers municipalities IL
segregate and control Japanese ana
Chinese populations. 1t is designed
especially to permit San Francisco to
keep the Japanese within the bounds
of Chinatown, thus preventing them
from renting property in gond resi-
dence districts, as they have done
since the fire.
A second bill prohibits Japanese
from attending public schools. A third
bill provides no Japanese shall act as
director of corporation.
Japans position, briefly, is that al
Japanese in the United States shall be
accorded the same privileges as the
| subjects of any other first class nation
eff the Japanese and Chinese are
singled out and made to attend a sep
| arate school, say the japanese, =
| means a violation of the treaty. Ger
mans, French, Scandanavians anC
| Italians are not made to attend a sep
| arate school. If they were we would
make no objection. But we must bs
| treated to the same privileges allowed
subjects of other nations"
| When this question was up in 1906
San Francisco, at the urgent request
of President Roosevelt, gave in to the
Japanese. The real reason for San
Francisco's objection to the presence
of Japanese in public schools was moi
understood completely at the time
San Francisco parents did not objec

their children, but did not believe il
advisable to permit Japanese men il

American Gold Mines.

From statements collected by the d.
rector of the mint, but issued by the
United States geological survey. it
seesIS nrobable that the production of
gold in this country last year ex-
ceeded that of 1907 by nearly $6,000,-
900. 1t is believed that the output for
1908 amounted to $96,313,256. Its value
in 1907 was SS0.435,77G. In several
states and territories whose contribu-
tons have been comparatively insig-
nificant no notable change has occur
red. Nevada, however, showed a dis
tinct falling off. it's output having di-
minished from SEAL 900 to $12,O9O,-
21S.
On the other hand, CALIFORNIA; yield
advanced nearly 100000, the years
production being estimated at 1881
$40. The gain in Colorado was a trifle
less than 100000, the total output
being reckoned at $22,S11.734. Con
corning Alaska two sets of returns are
available. According to Alfred Fl.
Brooks, of the geological survey, the
| territory should be credited with only
100000 while the director of the
mint puts the pield at nearly $21, O00,
| 600. 1t has been suggested that the
| figures last quoted may represent 4
part of the production of 1907, because
the mint records embrace both depos
its at assay Offices and mine reports
whereas Mr.. Brooks takes account OF
mine productions only. However the
discrepancy is explained. one interest
ing fact regarding Alaska remains I'M
disputed. The yield of it's placers fel
off last year to S15,000,000. a decrease
of fully $1,500,00O It's gain was made
by its quartz mines. Another remark
able increase is reported from South
Dakota, never a conspicuous producer
before. Its mines last year pro
duced $7G90,294. or nearly $4,000, COZ
more than they did in 1907.
A variety of causes operated to hell
the production of gold last year. In
California, for instance, an influence
which worked unfavorably in 1907 wa,
removed. There was a much better
supply of water for the stamp mill.
and placer mines in 1908 than durins
the previous Il months. In Colorado
the suspension of work in mines which
produces mixtures of silver, lead ant
zinc led many operators to take unat
tractive leases of gold propertie,
rather than remain idle. Elsewhere
no doubt, improved methods of treat
ing low grade ores had an appreciate,
effect on the final returns.
A glance at the figures of the geo
graphical survey for the last 10 year
shows that output for 1908 was jus
about so per cent larger than that O
1898 which was $64 ,463,300. The in
crease has not been perfectly regula:
the output having shown a reduction
: twice in the last decade-in 1908 an
e 1907; but the last years production
, was the largest on record Gold mil
, ing is thus shown to have been NOR
prosperous than many other America
. industries in a year of marked bus
, ness depression.
