SITUATION in THE ORIENT
CAUSES CONCERN.

BEVERLY, Mass, Aug. 9.-Pres-
ident Taft said today that he had
no plans for the summer except to
obtain a minimum amount of rest,
quiet and recreation with min
imum quantity of state business.
Mr.. Taf has several matters OF
official business before him during
the coming week. He is going to
dispose of the matter of census SUI
pervision throughout the entire
United States. Secretary Nagel and
Director of the census, Durand, are
coming to Beverly with a long list
of names and by the time they leave,
the president hopes to announce
his position.
The president is giving serious
consideration to the strained situa-
tion between Japan and China over
the UNDERWRITING railroad. The
matter was brought to his attention
by Secretary of State, Knox. before
he left Washington. In the event OF
a complaint of violation being lodged
against either party to the treaty it
is believed the matter will become
question for consideration by all
the powers. The United States will
have hand in whatever is done.
The president has definitely de-

Copper Flat Steam ShOvel
Work Scores Over All

NEVADA CON. THOUGHT CRUSH
ING GREATER TONNAGE THAN
UTAH COPPER--REPoRT SHOW
HIGHER CON. EARNINGS.

A new high record was made or
Sunday for ore production in the dis
trict for single day. At the same
time the Nevada Northern made
new record with the ore line in the
number of cars handled.
In all, the ore line delivered to
the concentrator at McGill from Cop
per Flat 100 cars OF So tons each
In addition to this 20 cars of So tons
each we're brought as far as East
Ely and from there delivered to Me
Gill yesterday morning.
All OF this ore, or $50 cars, or 10,-
900 tons, roughly estimated was pro-
duced by Nevada Con. Copper flal
steam shoyels during Sunday and
loaded on the cars in the pit. The
best previous day in the pit was 40
cars. ---- ssAa.s: "a In n
The increased output from the Flai
was called for late Saturday, it be
ing desired to fill the bins at thf
concentration to the top. The pit
and the ore Jine has this accom-
plished through their splendid work
before he afternoon was far along
The 100 cars delivered were not all
unloaded until yesterday morning.
At the Flat the getting out of the
10000 tons of ore was attended by
no unusual effort so far as was dis
cernible. Superintendent Vanderhoeff
simply turned his producing shove
into the ore with instructions to
keep busy. His excellent organiza.-
tion and good track system did the
rest. Stripping went right along
and so far as appearances were con-
cerned the Flat had no unusual task
on hand The same situation prevailed
with the ore line, which gave an
other good demonstration of the ex-
cellent organization under which ii
is operating and its efficiency as az
ore carrier. There was no increase
in crews.
The production of Sunday probably
outranks any previous work by the
steam shovel method in copper
camp. 1t is believed that the reg
ular daily production which has been
fixed for Copper IFlat of $500 and
the crushing of this amount of ore
daily at the concentrator outranks
the present operations of Utah Cop
per. In this connection comparison
of the 1st quarterly report of Ne
vada Con. with that of Utah Copper
for the same period discloses that
Nevada Con, Is making earnings of
900 per day in excess of the earn

out assertions which have been made
that Nevada Con. would put Its
costs below that of competitors in the

STOCKHOLM, Aug. 9.-Opening

Irrigation Congress Like
ly to Witness Bitter
CIaSh-lssue With
Capital is Raised
PRECIPITATED In ADDRESS OF
WELCoME-BETTER WORKING
ORGANIZATION Is URGED BY
PRESIDENT OF ASSEMBLAGE.

SPOKANE, Aug. 9-That the time
between conventions of the National
Irrigation Congress is virtually
wasted because of lack of busi-
ness plan of procedure, was the de-
claration of Mr.. Insinger, chairman
of the board of control of the con-
gress, in his address this morning
at the opening session.
Mr.. Insinger asserted that while
the congress has every year placed
itself more and more in a position
to accomplish good, it's possibilities
are badly crippled because there is
no practical method in the underiy-
ing actions of the organization.
This statement from Insinger is
the forerunner of a change jn the
constitution of the congress which 1t
is believed will be. proposed during
the present session and which will
give the organization the greater
5 latitude desired
One of the speakers of the morn
ing was Governor Hay, of Washing
ton, who welcomed the delegates on
behalf of the State.
Governor Hay, of Washington,
after an allusion to the scope and inn
portance of the work of congress
since its inception in 1892, spoke OF
the waste of timber and the threaten
ed shortage with which the country
is confronted. OF his own state he
says:
"Western Washington can boast
the heaviest stand of timber in thhe
world. 1t is estimated that at
present there are two hundred bill
lion feet of merchantable timber
standing in this portion of the
state This is magnificent resource
and it is little wonder that it ap-
peard unlimited to the pioneers in
the lumber industry here.
"But today, if the needless met
hods of the past continue, we can
approximate with fair accuracy the
time when this great body of timber
will be exhausted. In the last fifty
years one hundred million feet of
timber has either been cut of de-
stroyed by forest fires. By far the
greater portion of this disappeared
in the last decade.
'The lumbermen and the logger
however, have awakened to the
situation, and there is reason to be-
lieve that henceforth more scientific
and economic methods will be adopt
ed in the harvesting of the timber of
this state
Governor Hay was followed by
President George e. Barstow, of
Texas, who spoke for the congress,
The Spokane chorus of $50 voices
sang an irrigation ode, which is an
annual ceremony. Mayor Pratt in
an address of welcome to the del
egates swung directly into an attack
on "The interests which seek to over
throw the policy of preservation.
Thus the long expected fight of
f'capital against government" So
called, has obtained the floor and
now bids fair to become a pre-
dominant factor in the present con-
gress. Interest is now centered in
the utterances expected from Clifford
