crowd to town and the principal
features OF the program were pulled
off. The weather was good on the
whole, although trifle warm in the
afternoon when shower threatened.
A small amount of live stock and
chattels were offered at auction.
Oakes merchants offered plenty of
bargains in all lines and displayed
much enterprise and ingenuity in
displaying and demonstrating their
goods. ALI business places appear
ed to get liberal patronage.
Rapp's Merry -Go-Round fortunat-
ly reached town, from the Pacific
Coast in time to amuse throng Of
youngsters with q fair sprinkling Of
''oldsters." 49,
The bands helped out greatly to
enliven the day. One being q CON-
bination of Hecla and Cakes and
the other the Johnson Land Co.
boys band, who looked very smart
in their new uniforms OF blue caps
and coats and white trousers.
Hecla and Oakes played a hotly
contested game of ball, one of the
best of the season, Oakes coming
out winner by score offs to 6.
A couple of side shows were on the
scene to gather in the small change.
One displayed tall lady, who would
give "Henpecko" the nightmare
and the other heralded an Austral-
ian freak, ''half human, half snake. ("
The "strange creature" acted much
like thrifty young yankee earning
his weekly pay envelope and handl-
ed with considerable abandon a mess
of half dead snakes, principally ratt-
lers and talked to his crowd very in
tellegently about the reptiles for
which he professed great affection.
Such things can be seen couple
of times year at the circus and
would appear to have no necessary
connection with q local Market Day.
No record of the winners of the
prizes appear to have been kept at
least no copy Of such was obtain
abl 9 by this Office, but we gather
eda few scattering items. Will Vau-
pei, from south of town, won the prize
for the best draft team. Arne Peder-
sen brought In the largest load of
wheat to the mill, over ninety
bushels.
The jar of money in front of the
First National held crowd Of guess
-sers the whole day but the wise
heads all missed their calculations
while a twelve year old country girl
Mildred Jenkins, won the 500 offer
forfirst prize being only SO cts. un-
der the correct amount, $2O3.98. Ten
year old Harold Shabino, of the city
was about dollar farther of and got
the $500 second prize. Miss Dora

best loaf of bread from Golden Star
Flour.

be put in place Of the first named
books, which are now used in the
schools. The discussion that followed
was lively and interesting, and brought
out the fact that the first named books
were now used in about IS per cent of
the schools of the county and that they
were all giving the best of satisfaction
where used. The discussion further
showed that nearly all of the directors
were opposed to making a change of
books from those that were giving sat
isfaction to those that would have to
be tried to know how they would do,
though the books reported on might be
good books. The sentiment was strong
that if the books reported were only
equally good there was no use at all of
q change and there was no report or
evidence given that they were better
or only equally good. The report Of
the committee was accepted by the
meeting merely as courtesy to the
members Of the committee and not for
its intrinsic value. A motion was
made to adopt the report but the dis
cussion of the matter brought out the
fact that the vote on it would have no

A. LEHTSOHN OPTIMISTIC
SAYS on His Return That Copper
Outlook Is Good abroad.

Adolph Lewisohr. president Of the United Metals
Selling Company. who arrived here from Europe
on the steamer Illsitania yesterday. said that he
mad been abroad principally pleasure, AID did
rlot pay much attention 10 public affairs Regard
erg the copper outlook abroad. he said that in his
opinion there would be a rsarked Improvement in
Edemand in the future, business generally
twas improving in all other lines.
/ The consumption Of copper he added, has in
reased since the first Of the year, but at that time
consumption at a low ebb. There IS Yet
room for much Improvement. which il is opin-
Eon must come soon. I imagine that expansion in
ishis line in this country is. like most other lines,
lawaitinz q settlement OF the tariff. AS soon as
f+hat bugaboo is out Of The way and the summer
f1eat and holidays over I think there will be a
lszreat Improvement in business Of all kinds
: OF the copper situation in London. Mr. Lewisohn
hsaid:
q found there was great deal Of the metal
stored in the warehouses there. nearly all OF which.
however was included IN the visible supply. do
mot believe there IS lnu% copper stored privately
q understand that the exports Of copper from this
country have recently been very heavy Much Of It
has gone 10 England. and this accounts for the
present depression in the price Of the metal over
there It is my opinion that the demand recently
has not been keeping pace with the production and
present conditions are simply following the law Of
supply and demand

PREDICTS 15-CENT COPPER SOON.
Before First of Next Year, Thinks J. r. Stan
ton, It Will Bring That Price

John r Stanton. director In a number of cop
per mining companies and recognized authority
on copper metal affairs. said yesterday, in speak
ing Of the recent increase in the consumption Of
the metal in this country. that the better demand
undoubtedly from an improved business sit
uation. Copper. he said. was bound TO follow the
improvement in the steel industry and he was in
clined believe Il would be selling AT - cents
a pound before the first of the year He added:
In spite OF the present high rate Of production
the time is surely coming when there will he a
scarcity Of the metal This IS apparent when
one takes into consideration that consumption
during the current year, which the best will
rank than average good business year,
will prove to be almost great if not greater
than 1906. the previous year Of greatest consump
ton.
Within the next three years consumption should
easily overtake production. and perhaps sooner
than any of think.
Production overtoPs consumption at the mo-
ment because It Is cheaper 10 operate mines, in
some cases even at a loss for a short while than
to incur the expenses of shutting down properties
with consequent disruption of organization and
loss from deterioration

ternationa Brotherhood OF Transfers who
found guilty of attempted murder In General Ses-
sions Wednesday. yesterday sentenced 70
less than five years and not more than
twenty-five years in state prison. Shea took his
sentence stolidly and paid little attention
the scathing words Judge Foster used in prOnounc-
Ing sentence.
Shea" said the Court, you turned on a woman
whom your counsel admitted loved you and you
sought to Kill her because she could longer n
dure your brutal treatment You stabbed her
twenty-seven t,nes and wellnigh killed her and
now your services for humanity urged here in
your behalf because you have been active in the
affairs Of organized labor.
There Is a prejudice in this community against
organized labor because such men you dominate
it with your brutal methods and your coarse. Of
fensive personality"
The crime for which Shea was sentenced took
place May p His victim Alice Walsh
Chicago girl with whom he had been living here.
on the day of the assault Miss Walsh said she
going leave him because she had learned
that he had a wife and three children in A[assa-

SMOKE FROM PoSToFFICE.
When the Consumers Get Out of Order There 8
No Help for It.

As the supply Of coal provided by the government
for use at the General P0stofice is mostly OF the
bItuminous sort. and as the smoke consurn ,rs
sometimes get OF order the receipt Of protests
from business concerns in the vicinity Of ;he gov
ernment building by the officers charge is not u
rarity.
Assistant Postmaster Murphy said yesterday that
the postofice tried be nuisance. although
II that protests against the soft coal
smoke issuing from the top OF the building had
from time OF time been made by business concerns.
He said there had been communications with the
United States Geological Survey and that the
ter had been taken UP with the chief engineer of
the building.
y know that soft coal smoke is annoying said
Mr. Murphy, and the postofiice does not want TO
violate any city ordinance. Sometimes the smoke
consumers get out Of order. and then the nuisance
is greater. ] think New York would be much
pleasaner place live in. too, If something could
be done TO lessen the exhaust from the steam
pipes the tops Of many buildings"
In recent tests OF the United States Geological
Survey It was found that a great deal OF smoke
from soft coal is unnecessary. often it is caused
by improper sticking. AS a remedy Tor this II
suggested that a fire should be fed at short inter-
walls and with small amounts. This also promotes
economy Another preventive is TO keep the
crate free from ashes According 10 the experts
