COPPER MERGER is
NOW PRACTICALLY ASSURED

and will be one Of TIE largest in the
country.
The Copper Curb and Mining ou'-
look. in speaking of this new enter-
prise, says: "To furnish its lead
stacks with material there are the ~
oehe and Deep Creek camps, and in or
der to give trece districts direct COIN
m~unication with the smelter lite, it Is
damned to extend the Caliente-Pioche
branch of the Clark railroad on north
ward from Phoebe to a connection VIA
the proposed branch from the Giroux
property at Ely, thence northeast
through Snake valley, on through tas
Deep Creek district, where are said 20
exist the largest unexplaited lead de-
posts in the world, ana on across Tao
desert to a connection with the Salt ,r
railroad. The latter is a short line,
running from Salt Lake to Saltair, z
resort on Great Salt Lake, and its adj
vantage in this scheme is that it has
complete terminal facilities and ran
chises in Salt Lake City. The Saltad
railroad is owned by the Mormn1
| church, and the latter institution owns
also IS, 1000 acres of coal lands located
in southwestern Utah. These coal lands
are to be opened for fuel supply for tho
smelter, and a railroad built fron
them to connect with the Clark rail-
road, only a short distance from Ca
~liente. In this manner the Giroux smell
ter will be able to get its fuel SUP
ply with a railroad haul from $50 tt
$50 miles shorter than that by which
the Steptoe smelter gets it's fuel.
The undertaking in this direction hid
progressed to such an extent that it i
understood the Mormon church oftic'
ais are willingto put the ~church-owne'
coal lands and railroad into the project
and also to assume the underwriting o
the larger portion of the bonds whic
may be issued for the financing of tn
necessary railroad construction.
On the working out of this projec'
the Rockefeller party would be able t
meet the G~uggenheims on even term
in the lead and zinc markets, col
trolling a great smelter plant, vii
cheap fuel. easily accessible, and havin
in Ely, Phoebe and Deep Creek pract
cally ~inexhaustible supplies of cope.
zinc and lead ores. The proposition
one of the most ambitious that has be-
outlined in recent years, and may b
accepted as part and parcel of the gel
eral scheme for the consolidation of tn
copper industry under Rockefeller-Mo'
gan control, the plans for which are b.
ing steadily advanced, denials to th
contrary notwithstanding.

FINE CUNNING AT BLAcKBIRD
rarV OF Three Wilmington Sports
Make Record Days Hunt Over
the New Castle County Line

Blackbird, Nov. 29.-Twentv-seven
rabbits and sixteen. woodcock is the
record made in one days cunning
trip by Victor Clark, George Mitchell
and Edwin Corbit, all of Wilmington
on Thanksgiving day near Blackbird.
The party had six dogs that belong
ed to a well-known Wilmington
sportsman who was prevented fro
joining the party by illness. With
game wardens located at various
towns throughout New Castle county
the game laws were not ignored this
year by gunners who in former
yeals have been regular violators of
the game laws. In previous wears
several farm owners in lower New
castle county would hunt partridges
and rabbits two weeks before the
opening of the hunting season, but
would confine their unlawful hunting
10 their own PROPERTY, never going
on an adjoining property to hunt
before the opening of the game sea-
on. But this year. with the game
wardens alert and active all along
Fhe line, the men who have followed
TINS practice for long time dis
it with the result that hunt
ing proved to be better in all sec
tlons according TO the general opin-
ION OF the residents of various Soc
tions of the county.

CARRIE NATION DRAWS A

GIVING AND SAYS SOMETHING
Famous Woman Who Smashed Saloons
IN Kansas Includes Smyrna In
Her Delaware Itinerary


Last Wednesday afternoon. the
president of the Woman's Christian
temperance Union, Mrs. Kate E.
Smithers, received a phone message
from Mrs. Carrie Nation, who was
then at FELTON,, asking the privilege
OF delivering an address in Smyrna
under the auspices of the local union.
After consideration, Mrs. Smitbers
concluded to grant the request so
Mrs. Nation came as is known. and
delivered the address last Thursday
evening in the Twentieth Century
CLUB House. Her fame had preceded
her for as has been said "tbere ;s
but one Carrie Nation,'' and the
two facts brought large audience to
near her and more men than are US
ually found at Temperance meet
ing. While waiting for Mrs. Ma
tlon, the audience was delightfully."-
entertained by Misses Edith Beck and
Julia Hum. Prayer offered by the
Rev. Walter Ford preceded the intro
duct on of the speaker by Mrs. Smith
ers. The writer cannout fully ONT
line Mrs. Nation S address but there
were good points in it as we'll
as some open to criticism. She said
that she began her temperance work
as W. c. T. U. prison evangelist
In Kansas town and in her visits
to the prison learned where the liouor
was obtained by those who had COM

ence and gave this information to the
sheriff, district attorney, and gov
ernor of the State, pleading with
each one to break up the places
They refused to do so and believing
herself divinely directed, she began
to follow the method of smashing the
windows and contents of The saloons
as a means of "breaking up'' the
business. She used rocks and stones
In her first attempts. The use of
the hatchet which she afterward
adopted, having been suggested to
her, she said, by a passage of Scrip.
ture. Mrs. Nation also in her ad-
dress denounced the Republican and
Democratic parties for .omplicitv
with the liquor traffic, designating
the first as ga serpent with a head''
and the second as ga serpent without
one. . The head representing the
power of the Republican party. She
expressed her faith in the possibility
Of the absolute prohibition of the
liquor traffic and strong opposition
to Local Option. And said that "the I

would do all they could to teach a

Thanksgiving Day was one of the
liveliest in Smyrna for many years
and while the home coming of former
Smyrnians did not seem so large as
usual, the day was ideal in its
weather conditions with plenty of
interest for everybody. All the
churches held services and goodlv
congregations turned out to render
thanks for the blessings they had
received during the year. The
regular Thanksgiving service was
said at Saint Peters at which the
sermon was delivered by the rector
Rev. F. w. R. Arthurs. A Union
thanksgiving service was held at
the Presbyterian Church by the
Presbyterians and Methodists when
the sermon for the occasion, an ex
cellent discourse in harmony with the
day, was preached by Rev. Alpheus

turn of mind were out at dawn with
gun and dogs for days hunt. Some
were cunning for rabbits and some
for birds and there was good sport
Tor all. In the evening Mrs. Carrie

crowd at the Club House, mention
