pared as missing.
Didn't you furnish these letters to
this paper?" asked the attorney.
NO, sir, I did not"
Didn't you leave some of your eff
fects in boxes in the grand jury
room at Seattle?"
"Yes. some bear skins and camp
ing outfit"
Now. isn't it fact that you did
furnish these letters to this paper,
that You placed all the papers that
had been called for by your successor
in one of the boxes in the grand Jury
room which was broken open on the
eighth of this month and the letters
and copies found therein?"
THAT is absolutely false-it is a
frame-up,' cried CLAWS. showing
anger for the first time. Those let
ters didn't hurt me. Why did 1 want
them? They hurt Ballinger."
CLAWS was interrupted with a ques-
tion.
'Wait." cried CLAWS, II want to
finish. II wanted to steal those let
ters do you think would leave them
where federal officers could get them?
It makes me indignant to think that
government officials to gain favor
with their superiors will resort to
such methods
The crowd in the hearing room
broke into burst of applause. Chair
man Nelson said another such demon
-stration would result in the room be-
ing cleared.
The committee got into a wrangle
as to whether or not Mr.. Vertrees
should be allowed to read a letter
from c. A. Christianson, successor to
CLAWS. who told of the discovery of
the letters in question. Mr.. Brandeis
and Mr.. Vertrees also exchanged a
few heated remarks. 1t finally was
agreed that the question should be
disposed of at an executive session
tomorrow.
CLAWS said that the letters which
appeared in the weekly paper were
some of which he had. furnished car
bon copies to tha forest service. He
had furnished these copies to the
forest service as further means OF
safeguarding the, Alaska coal lands.
when did you first do this to safe.
guard the Alaska coal lands?"
"After I saw the president at
Beverly last September"
The last hour of the afternoon ses-
sion was taken up with an examina-
ton of the witness as to the con-
struction he had placed upon the
opinion rendered by Attorney General
Wickersham after CLAWS had protest
ed against the opinion by Assistant
Secretary Pierce.
Didn't you say in an article you
wrote in a weekly paper that the at
torney general overruled Mr.. Pierce
on every point and sustained you and
thus saved the Alaskan coal lands?'
asked Mr.. Vertrees.
"Yes," replied CLAWS.
"And doesn't the attorney general
in his report to the president say that
the memorandum submitted to him In
the preparation of which you assist
ed, specifically excluded any possible
consideration of the Cunningham
cases?"
II was very much surprised that he
would make that statement replied
CLAWS, because he had my report on
the Cunningham claims before him
and one Of the questions We submit
ted to him, 1 thought. covered the
| Cunningham class of cases..

Wenzel Prucha. q farmer, took ex-
traordinary pains to keep his ears
warm when he started to drive back
to his farm today he lost his life.
Before leaving this place for home

and could not hear the cars coming.
A train struck him with great force
and he was almost instantly killed.

immigration, which during 1909,
fell off from the two previous years,
the commissioner says, is reassum-
ing normal proportions. The months
of January to June, 1909, however,
showed increases over the same
months of 1908 which is attributed by
the commissioner principally to the
fact that those interested in steerage

AS to the occupations 174,S0O un-

class entered and 1886 of the emil

an increase in the ratio of illiteracy
to twenty-nine per cent as against
twenty-six< per cent in 1908. For
various reasons 10,411 aliens were de-
ported.
Reference is made again to the in
teresting and important economic
problem arising from the fact that a
very large proportion of immigration
is coming from southern and eastern
Europe, those countries furnishing
about sixty-seven per cent of the i'm
migrants. The continuance of this
preponderance is declared to be a
question concerning every patriotic
pcitizan, for it Is stated there can be
little homogenity between people roi
that, section and the real American.
A distribution of lnbre than 5000
persons was effected during the fif-
teen months ended June, 1909
through the operations of division
of information, of whom 1856 were
sent to- agricultural communities.
The division is directing it's efforts
toward a practical solution of the
problem of the scarcity of farm help
Particular care has been taken to
direct no men to work where they
might be used to replace labor al
ready employed. The field of activity
comprised forty states and one terri
tory.
There were issued during the year
37,337 certificates of naturalization
an. excess of 1890 over the preced.
ing year. The four states in which
the principal work of naturalization
was transacted being New York

DAD HERE'S TO YOU"

We happened in a home the other night, and over the parlor dood we we saw the legend worked in letters of red. What is Home Without a Mother?'. , Across the room was another brief God Bless Our Home. '
 Now what's the matter with God Bless Our Dad?" He gets up early; lights the fire, boils an 4gg and wipes off the dew of the town with his boots while many ! mothes is sleeping. says Pen- 5tcola, Fla, Review. He makes the weekly hand-out for the butcher, the grocery, the milk man and baker and his pile is badly worn defore he has been home an hour.
 If there is noise during the night dad is kickek in the back and made to go downstairs to ind the burglar and kill him. Mother darns the socks but dad bought the socks in the first place and the needles and the yarn afterward. Mother does up the fruit; well, dad bought it all, and jars and sugar cost like the mis- chief.
 Dad buys the chicens for the Sunday dinner, carves them himself and drows the ueck from the ruins after everyone else is served. What is Home Without a Mother?" Yes that is all right. out what is home without a father? Ten chancs to one it's boarding house, father is under slab and the landlady is the widow. Dad. here's to you--you've got your faults-you may have lots of em-but yot're all right and we will miss you when's you're gone.

the greater the ore deposit seems
to be. A car of ore was turned
in from this property the past
week.
Church & Co. are now INSTALL
ing their big four stage centrifu-
gal pump, north of the Emma
Gordon mine and will be pump
ing water this week. This means
that all those properties that
have been idle on account of too
much water will start up again.
1t is reported that the parties
who have taken over the Miami
Yankee mine and mill, on the
Baxter Royalty Co.'S land, have
made a big strike of fine ore, at
a lower depth than the old work
ings and now the mill is being
run at full blast with excellent
results.
The Heap-O'Brien is making a
fine success of its operations, and
the utilization of natural gas has
been instrumental in adding to
its profits. This is a fine prop
erty and it is certainly crafty
ing to see it going again under
such favorable circumstances.
This is another example of what
persistency and good manage
ment does for these hard ground
properties.
A few weeks more and the big
mill on the Petersburg land will
be put into operation. This
means a new epoch in the history
of the Quapaw Reservation Min.
ing and Milling operations. The
introduction of an entirely new
method of handling and clean
ing the hard ground ores. The
segregating of the different sizes
of the crushed ores and deliver.
ing each size to the machine that
is to clean it, thus saving the
handling Of the ores over SC
many times as is done in the usu-
al type of mill now in use, and
at the same time making a bet
ter saving of the values contained
ia the ores as taken from the
mines. This system proving
successful means the revolution'
izing of the milling practice in
the entire southwestern district
and will mean much to the Low
grade ore mines; in fact it will
make many mines profitable
which under present system car
not be worked.
