Hon. Hugh Mckenzie, minister
of lands for the state of Victoria
is now in the United States getting
acquainted with out ingenious ag-
ricultural implements and ad-
vanced methods of irrigation.
Incidentally, he hopes to start
about. 200 American farmers in
the direction of Victoria, not be-
cause he needs the population, but
because he is anxious to have their
knowledge and experience put at
the service of his country.
, Australia does not believe in
tenants any more than she believes
in landlords. Hence the state of
Victoria proceeded to buy a half
million acres of the best lands held
In large estates, and she has sup
piled irrigation facilities for about
100, 200 acres.
Then she formed the Closer Set
Element Board to tackle the prob
lem of carving the big estates into
small farms and getting the people
to build homes upon them.
The problem was to make it pos
sible for men of small means to
get to Victoria, pay for the land,
build houses and sustain them
selves until the soil should return
them living.
1t was decided that the land
should be sold at actual cost, SO
that the speculative profits of the
real estate operator were eliminat-
ed at a stroke.
1t was decided that the settler
should have 81 " years to pay for
the land, and that the payment
should take the form of 6 per cent
interest on the actual cost of the
land to the government.
Now, this six per cent payment
not only covers interest, but pIinCi-
pal as well. Australia has discOv-
cred that il is cheaper and better
to borrow money on the credit of
the nation and lend it back to tiie
people than for each individual TO
borrow money from n bank of loan
agent on his own account.

Vending, formerly janitor of the

We convict the criminal with his
weeping wife and children beside him.
We Re ore the stolen horse to the
rightful owner even though the inno-
cent purchaser thereof has no chance
to recover from the thief who took
the price and wasted it. Why, then
should we hesitate at the thought
that hurt viii come to number of
oil cvmpanies, if the Southern Pacific
is made to disgorge? Under the doc
trine of caveat emptor, the stockhold-
ers in those oil companies, are them
selves responsible for the losses that
may be entailed.
INVESTMENT NOT SECURED
"No one has guaranteed their invest
ments In the search of the titles,
these were passed by attorneys of their
own choosing and If they have been
and are enjoying property not theirs,
they should be made to give it back,
no matter with what honest motives
and intentions they acquired it. Such,
in sober truth, is the way Of the
world and what happens is all in
life time. No man has the right to
complain of the disastrous consequent
ces of his own acts and to this rule

ties is not an exception. Hence,

which would be adversely affected by
the proposed attack upon railroad
patents are morally entitled to receive
for themselves whatever amount of
land their operations would have
earned them had the land been known
to be government land and had they
been pursuing their business in full
realization of their surroundings and
though I insist that no other termlna-
oh he
also hold that. should this assumption
eventually prove to be unsound, the
only right and proper course for the
government to pursue is to proceed to
reacquire the oil wealth now claimed
by the railroad.
"As to the exact manner in which
the oil companies equities can be es-
ia ablished, I have no suggestions to
make though feeling confident that the
result can be achieved. Whatever is
worth doing and demands to be done,
can be done; and in this instance
there seems no insuperable obstacle.
Your question respecting the position
OF certain large oil companies such
as the Standard Oil company, the
Kern Trading & Oil company, the
Associated Oil company, the Union
Oil company and the American Petrol
cum company admits of but one an
swer-they are entitled to their deserts
as fully as is the least of those af-

| have carried on developments We
have not, as a nation, yet arrived at
the oblique conclusion that mere big
ness merits injustice and we shall not
reach that state of mind as long as
we retain our sanity. What the named
corporations should receive 1der an
equitable arrangement, they will re-
ceive; but this does not mean that
the Southern Pacific masquerading
e OIL company can secure to itself
those lands which it obtained by in

tract solemnly entered into. I have

GREENE -CANANEA MAKES
COPPER At LOW COST
Economical Methods Are ReSpon-
SibIe for a Saving in SmeIt-
ing and More Profit

DOUGLAS, Oct. 2O-Reports from
Cananea are to the effect that Greene
Cananea is making cheaper copper than
ever before in the history of that COM
pany and that smelling cost at Cana
nea is less than that of any company
in the United States. One of the heavy
stockholders in the Greene -Cananea
was in Douglas last week and made
these statements, which he declared
could be verified by anyone who cared
to make an investigation of present
conditions in Cananea. The company
is now producing 1900 tons of copper
monthly and the mines were never
looking so well; especially is this true
concerning the Sierra de Cobre, pur-
chased last year from the Copper Queen
company.
DR.. Ricketts, will have expended $780,.
600 in new construction three months
hence. This work includes reverbera-
tory furnaces, roasters, etc, similar to
the work now planned at the Copper
Queen smelter in this city This plant
will further reduce the cost of produc-
ton, which has been greatly decreased
by the present management by the in
stallation of many improved and eco
nomical methods both in the mines and
III the reduction works.

DEM SHAFT REACHES
DEPTH OF 1900 FEET

DOUGLAS, Oct. 2O.-B. M. Patter-
son, superintendent of the DEM mine,
says the shaft oe that property has
reached the 16O0-foot level and the
work of cutting a station there is pro-
crossing. After cutting the required
station drifting will begin at this
depth. The last drift work was done
on the 1350-level, where some native
copper was encountered and leached
ground was pierced. which strength
ened the belief that important ore
bodies would be encountered.
The sinking of the last 25O feet above
the bottom Of the shaft was accom-
plished in less than five months, which
was a splendid record. The Dem
shaft is now the second in depth in
the Warren district, the Junction hav-
ing reached a depth Of 100 feet.
There are many who expect to see
the DEM finally strike an important
ore body and if it is not found on the
16O0-level sinking will probably be re-
sumed after explorations on that level.

WINDSOR WHITE
TELLS ABOUT
WHITE STEAMER

This is the usual time of the
year" said Windsor T. White, pres
ident of The White Company, "for
the rumor to be circulated that we
are to discontinue the manufacture
of steam cars. This is the tenth
year that this rumor has done SER
vice, naturally it has become "a
little shop-worn and frayed about
the edges. 1t would seem that this
year, however, statesmen interested
in other cars are more than usually
desirious that the competition that
they feel from the White car should
be removed and apparently so ear
nestly do they desire it that we
should discontinue their manufac-
ture, that they have almost come to
believe that such is the case.
Il do not like to disrupt these
day Dreams" but wish to state un-
equivocally, as the president of The
White Company, that we have no in
tention, plan or inclination to dis
continue the manufacture of the
White steam car.
eff any one has any further
doubts regarding our position, let
him secure a copy of our new cata-
logue and he will find that we have
taken a more progressive attitude
than ever before in pointing out
wherein the White Steam car is su-
perior to any other type of automo-
bile.
In the last two or three years,
the development of the White Steam
car has proceeded faster than has
the development Of any other car
and evidently this has been the be-
lief of considerable percentage of
the purchasing public.
"Our great manufacturing plant |
at Cleveland is always open to the |
public and the visitor sees more |
White steam cars being shipped |
from them day by day than are be-
ng sent out from any other plant |
n the country devoted to large
,ars."
