FRENCH TOBACCO
TAX A FAILURE

Paris. Aug. 2O.-The rise in the
price of the better corts of tobacco
cigarettes and cigars has not respond
ed TO the fond anticipations of the
treasury department. Far from more
money having been taken since the
new taxes We're imposed. less than
previously has been received. The
simple explanation is that in order to
be even with the officials people are
either smoking less than they did
before or are falling back on the
cheaper articles Perhaps this sad
disappointment is responsible in some
measure for the increased vigilance
which is being exercised at custom
houses, which had already diminish

gars and cigarettes that travellers
coming from abroad are allowed to
bring in, ostensibly for personal con-
sumption, during their Journeys

CORONATION OF KING GEORGE
TO BE MADE GORGEOUS EVENT

London. Aug. 20.-King Georges
coronation, which has been fixed by
royal proclamation fer some date in
June next year. will be a simpler af-
fair than that of King Edward. Not
that it will be shorn of any of the
gorgeousness ceremonial tradition
prescribed; but the fact that the last
coronation was only eight years ago
(and not at a distance of SO years,
as in King Edwards case) will OBJ
viate a great deal of the research and
discussion as to procedure. The rec
ords of a coronation performed under
modern conditions are, so to speak,
ready to hand.
For the same reason there will
probably be no court of claims con-
stituted in connection with the
crowning of George V. The questions
as to who has the right to carry the
golden spurs or the sword of state,
etc, etc, will not arise, because they
were settled in 1902, and in most
cases the noblemen who performed
the various honorable tasks for King
Edward will do SO for his son.

ELECTRIC LOCOMOTIVE
GENERATES ITS POWER

GLASGOW. Aug 2O.-An electric To-
comotive needing neither live rail nor
overhead wire to supply its energy
is running on a Scotch railroad. 1t
is designed to run over any track
and generates its own power. which is
of one thousand horse nominally. The
locomotive consists of three separate
parts-a steam turbine, a dynamo for
generating electricity, and electric
motors for the actual driving. The
turbine, working at 1900 revolutions
per minute. is Of course driven by
steam, and is coupled to the dynamo.
which supplies electric current TO
four motors; tthese motors give a
direct drive to four sets of heavy
driving wheels. The novel locomotive

e51as ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Many people nowadays think that
the little trip of Columbus was not
the first jaunt to these shores. and
that Left Ericsson had visited AM
erica long before.
Now. these same people who be
lieye in Ericsson are taking notice
again. for recently there has been
discovered in Minnesota stone bear
ing a strange inscription. This leads
persons to think that as early as 1862
Norsemen landed somewhere i'm Nova
Scotia. and by following connecting
waterways came into what is the
northern part of the United States on
an exploring expedition. This re-
markable stone is covered on two
sides with runes that have just been
translated. II has been placed for
safe keeping in the rooms of the Min
nesota Historical Society at st. Paul.
In color It is a dark grey, evidently
greywacke from the glacial period
and the lettering is distinct, each
word being separated by period.
The translation reads:
Eight Goths and 22 Norwe-
gians upon journey of discovery
from Vinland (Nova Scotia)

What a world of history these
simple lines convey. If they have
been translated Alright they show that
long before Columbus landed our

men from Northern Europe. The

rune stones are written in the Swed-
ish of the thirteenth century and this
proved a stumbling block in decipher-

Europe are written in many lang

WILD RUMORS
 ARE PROMPTLY

No CurtaiIment of Production in Distsict, Regardless of Reports Coming From Bos- ton and the East

The mining situation in this dis trict for the past week shows little change from that of the previous week The Copper Queen maintain ed it's high rate of production and September will prove to be one of the big months of the year for Cop per Queen ore production. The work of developing the Lowell ore bdies show that this mine is destined to be one of the greatest producers of the Warren district.
 No change Is reported at the c. & A. properties. The report that the Irish Mag shaft is to be shut down and the ore hoisted through the Oli yer shaft is denied by the c. & A. officials and had no foundation ex- A. was to be completely closed down wan reported from the east and the report was promptly killed by Gem eral Manager Greenway who pro- nounced it a fake and stated that there is to be no curtailment in the piouuCdon VI tnSSS piopri ICS.
 Ten feet of sulphide ore was cut at the Briggs shaft on the 1900 level during the week This mine is now dry the water having all drained to the Junction where it is handled by the pumps. 1,
 The Junction shaft is now down a. bout 1890 feet and more ore has been in this mine during the past week. All of the bottom levels of this property are now in ore.
 The last man leaves the Coie shaft today and the property will be placed under the charge of Charles Butler who will have charge of the watch men and will visit the mine daily to look after it's condition.
 The Denn will continue sinking operations and it is reported that this property is looking better now than at any time in it's history The Shat tuck is continuing drifting as it talk es out the ore in the development which is constantly exposing more ore the most of which is high grade.

PREDICTS NEXT CONGRESS
 WILL IMDORsE CONSTITUTION

I you need have no fear for the safety of the constitution. Tt must be borne in mind" con- tinued Walker" that these progress sive measures are pure republican doctrine. Oregon, Colorado and the
 other states possessing the initiative, referendum and recall are republican states, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Kansas will surely adopt them
 through their next legislatures. and
 Illinois probably. All these are re. publican states. Out of seventy cit les using the initiative, etc, sixty of them are republican. Without ex- ception, every state which has had an opportunity to express itself at an adequate direct primary, has voted for these reforms. and nearly every one of them is a republican state. In taking the stand it has the Arizona Gazette has displayed its loyalty to the cause of true republicanism"
 What do you think of the present state of national politics?" the dis tinguished visitor was asked
 They never have been so clearly defined two years before an election as they are at the present time," he replied. The democrats, hopeful of electing their president. will not dare to sidestep the progressive issue. If Harmon is elected in Ohio, as think he will be. he will be the dem ocratic standard bearer If Harmon should be defeated and Wilson elect ed in New Jersey, Wilson is likely to head the ticket Gaynor wants to go to the White House, but he does not want to be governor of New York. He believes that the mayor ality of that city. is the next most i'm portant office in the country, and that upon his record there he will win the nomination. Tammany wants to get rid of Gaynor, and to that end will endeavor to tag him to the tail of the Harmon ticket. Woodrow VII son rctires from a strenuous pred dency of Princeton college firm in the belief that he is a great statesman. He is likely to be elected governor of New Jersey. and thus become a factor
 Roosevelt fights for the love of the fight, but when victory is his, he does not always know what to do with it. In the opinion of many he will be the next republican nominee"
 Harking back to the Taft attitude to the initiative. referendum and re call, Walker recalled the legislative campaign in Ohio in 1908, when the initiative and referendum were in is sue, and Taft was secretary Of war. In that campaign the senate forced number of amendments and sue ceeded in killing the progressive plan. During that campaign, Senator Dick and other Ohio representatives favored the measure, and Taft went so far as to say that the initiative, referendum and recall may often be very useful in state and municipal government, but that he was opposed to it as a national measure.
 Thus is appears that as far back as 1908 Taft refused to declare against the issue now paramount in Arzona, except as applied nationally. In view of this fact, and the hand writing which is smearing up all the vacant walls in the country, the peo- pie of Arizona mead have no fear of the statehood first" threat made dur ing the late unpleasantness-

STREET DECORATIONS
ARE THE BEST EVER
THE -FOUR BLOCKS ON MAIN
STREET ARE A BLAZE OF
LIGHT AND HIGHLY COLOR
ED BUN1ING.

The main street of the city has been
decorated in the best shape ever fol-
the present III palace season. II
looks as we'll by day as by night, al.
though the latter is much more bril-
liant. Looking from the Milwaukee
depot to the corn palace the streamers
strung across the street, from build
ing to building, makes the appearance
of an extended room with the banners
for the ceiling. The wires are
stretched about two feet apart and
r crossed and r%ecrossed through the
center. The wires are draped in loops
of red, white and blue, while in the
center of each banner is hung a pla-
card setting forth the sentiment OF
the citizens in extending a welcome to
the strangers. The decorative idea
was a happy one and it's execution
has made the city the most attrac-
tive yet.
In the evening with the $500 cleo
trio lights turned on, extending on
both sides of the street from First
street to the corn palace, makes a
scene most bewitching and entranc-
ing. These lights end and merge in
to the hundreds of lights which adorn
the outside of the corn palace, show
ing the outline of the towers. Many
fine compliments are heard on the
lavish expenditure to make the city
Took inviting and the effort that has
been expended is appreciated by the
visitors.
