NORMAL HEADS
DISCUSS NEEDS

The following prominent men OF
the state were guests of the Ellens-
BURG Normal School Friday and
SATURDAY. OF this week: DR.. T.. /.
Mathes, principal of the Belling-
ham Normal school, and acting
principal {. :. Kingston of the
Cheney Normal school. The oc-
casiou was the annual principals
meeting for the planning and uni
fving of the work Of the normal
schools.
The normal school situation was
the subject of frequent discussion.
Superintendent Dewey said IN
public address before the assem-
bled students that he has been asked
by a large number of the friends
of the school here if he thought
there were cause for alarm regard
ing the attitude of the next legisla
ture. Il told them, continued
Superintendent Dewey, as | shall
tell you, that in my opinion the
next legislature will not close up
the normal school at Ellensburg.
This. then, should be the least
of your troubles. This statement
was greeted by a hearty round of
applause on the part of the student
body. He continued by saving
that teachers we'll trained formed
the best advertising that any school
could have, and that it would be
we'll for each student to realize his
part in the proper presentation of
this question before the prominent
men of his community. Superin-
tendents Dewey's attitude toward
the normal school situation will
have much bearing upon the state
legislature because of his influence
and position.
Superintendent Dewey said that
he had sent marked copy of his
biennial report to each member of
the legislature. Il propose to let
them know my position Oil the nor
NAL school question, he said
The part of his report referred to
is as follows:

 Ready made clothes that have a shred of wool in them are taxed twice at the customs house. First they pay according to we. .ght, and after that according to value. The weight tax is four times as much as the weight tax on unwashed wool. This amounts to about A cents a pound Then comes a ripping, tear ing tax of 50 per cent ad valorem.
 This all comes out of, or of of. your skins-oh. .fieeced and fieeceless human iocki

SOME CRITICISM OF THE
 PROPOSED MERGER ANSWERED

Tor the town and all adjoining pro perties so that if it were merely a question of water. fail to see the reason for such lame argument.
 The Superior & Pittsburg was deeply in debt to the extent of nearly million to Calumet ( Arizona, but the debt was paid and paid by ores mostly taken from I4.ze Superior &
 pittsburg. and as before stated no
 preference or consideration was shown to the old Lake Superior & Pittsburg stockholders in the last conso idation and I for one suffered thereby and expect to suffer again in the consolidation now contempiat ed, although I am astockholder in Calumet & Arizona and Superior & Pittsburg. No sir. I am not fn favor of amaldamating the properties. Tn capitalization now is enormous and too large to ever amount to anything to the stockholder either from the standpoint of dividends or as speculative proposition.
 They can organize a holding com pany like Copper Range Consolidated but the properties should be separat- ed. even to the extent of going back to the original and separate com panies"
 In the above the subscriber shows, unfamiltarity with the properties he refers to. If he will secure a map of the several groups that now comprise the holdings of Superior & Pittsburg he will discover that the shafts which have been furnishing the bulk of the ores for the smelters at Douglas. and from which the earnings to pay the debt to Calumet & Arizona were pro duced. are located on the Calumet & Pittsburg and Junction Development of the original development organiza- tions There is no mining whatever being done on the lands constituting the original Lake Superior & Pittsburg although they hold the Cole shaft at which location there have been promising bodies of ore The best ore showings are at the HoRtson shaft Of the old Calumet & Pittsburg Development company, over 2.509 feet distant from the Lake Superior & Pittsburg

 claims of the Superior & Pittsburg company are at the Hoatson and Juncton. the biggest deposit being at the Junction. and it is here tn
 company is now preparing for it's deepest operatios. the water from all the other openings being carried t1 this point. The old Lake Superior & Pittsburg company had a fine holding of claims we'll located and from which there will surely be new mines developed, but Calumet & Pit
 tsburg and Junction Developmen
 also held a large acreage and they are producing the copper, the ores being very high grade Iron Ore can not see that Lake Superior & Pitts burg received the worst of the de;t combining it with the other members of the merged group. Up to the pre- sent time it has certainly the bette of the consolidation. and we know about it because We have been in the mines several times and have seen what has been developed. AS We say the ores going to the smelt Calumet X Pittsburg property. and CTS from this company are being mined from the Hoatson, on the old from the Junction of the Junction Development property And it would only be stating the fact to say that of all the showing thus far made on the combined properties that at Junction looks the best. The deposit being opened is wonderfully large. its dimensions are not yet known and the ores are rich in copper as well as in gold. It is from here principally that the present s1o0 900 profit month ly is being extracted.
 Now. about the water proposition in Bisbee. There was at one time river of water coming from the Su perior & Pittsburg shaft located on Calumet & Pittsburg and Junction of the former holdings. It cost lot of money to fight this flow, and none other than such a crowd as this lot of men would have carried 1t through in the face of such an enormous ex- pense, but they were real miners and knew what the water meant The water in the entire Bisbee basin has been lowered steadily by this

WHAT DID THE CLAIM AGENT DO?
 Up in Minnesota Mir. Olsen had a COW killed by railroad train. In due season the claim agent for the rail road called.
 We understand, Of course, that the deceased was very docile and valuable animal" said the claim agent in his mnst persuasive claim agentiely manner, ~and my sym pathize with you and your family in your loss. But. Mir. Olsen. you must remember this: Your COW had DO business being on our tracks Those tracks are our private prop erty, and when she invaded them she became a trespasser.

pumping operation. the flow not be- ing onehalf what it formerly was, and finally there will be very little pumping to do. To build a smelter in the face of reducing water sup- ply and that coming from mine shafts would be a very foolish investment
 Here is Denn-Arizona sinking deep shaft still further down the valley from Junction. If it keeps on it will take the water from Superior & Pitts burG just as Superior 6 Pittsburg took 1t from the Copper Queen mines
 And We can say to our subscriber that it needs lot of water to sup
 ply modern smelting plant Copper Queen used to have it's smelters at Bisbee but it removed them to Doug las because 1t ran short of water. Bixbee does secure water for its use from a water system. the water be- ing pumped from Nhco, nine miles distant, but the cost for smelting purposes would be prohibitive. If our subscriber could see water being de livered to parts of Bisbee on the backs of burros, at big price per gallon. he wouldn't have much in favor of srnelting plant in this To- cation. The place for smelter is just where Calumet & Arizona and Copper Queen have it, in the Sui- phur Springs valley, where there is plenty of room. where there Is abun- dant water, where the pull from the rines is down hill and where tn
 fumes will not choke the people of Bisbee or bring damage suits for in- jury to crops of the ranchman-

It wasn't apparent at the time, but i. has so proved up to the present It isn't an easy matte to arrive at the relative value mining properties that have such large holdings which have been litti exploited We believe that Superio

Tomorrow a greater find may be made on the old Lake Superior & Pittsburg lands. or upon Calumet & Pitttsburg. or upon Pitts burg-Duluth lancs. That's the luck of this mining business.

In regard to the consolidation, would say as a stockholder one oi the u,l- ginal properties wis: Lake Superior & Pittsburg, l voiced my objection to a consolidation at the time the last one took place.
 "The basis O. consolidation was most unfair. as at that time Lake Superior & Pittsburg was the main stay of the lot and had proven to he the real producer of them all. but stockholders of Lake Superior & Pit tsburg received no consideration whatever, and lost out. so to speak My experience of consultations has been that they are very bad for the small fry and are generally a means of sque 2zing them out

Winter has come. Some millions of Americans are wearing shoddy clothes. shivering under cotton blankets and risking disease and death by pneumonia and tuberculos' s, because the Sixty-first congress-the same that is now in session-lent it. self to the ten-times convicted but wholly unpunlshed swindle of sched- ule K-the wool schedule.
 Senator Deliver remarked that schedule K was ~hoary with age"
 It Is a relic of the Civil War-thc unhappy time when bleeding was the nations business.
 Nobody can justify the voc. scned- ule. Nobody tries. It is, as Mir Taft says, ''indefensible."
 In 1909. as in 1867, the enacting of schedule K was a road agents job "a public hold-up.
 The president has described the process thus: The interests of the wool growers in the Far West and the interests of the wool manufac- through their representatives in con gress-were sufficiently strong to de- feat any attempt to change the wool tar f."
 MT. Taft's point is. of course, that these private interests own and con- uol in congress good-sized block of yotes-which is absolutely depend able. has never bolted for forty years and Is able to bully into sub mission any combination that, up to this time, has been brought against 1t.
 The wool schedule Is built on the model of double-decked piratical cruiser. Upon an iron-clad hull of protection for raw wool it raises a huge superstructure of taxes on all the goods that have thread of wool in them.
 Of course, the original theory Of the tarif on raw wool was that the United States ought to be it's own shepherd-ought to produce all the wool 1t uses.
 But, in spite of the tariff, the coun- try imports about 60 per cent of it's wool supply.
 Thus the tax on raw wool can hardly be called a protective tariff. It is mainly a subvention to wool growers and manufacturers. Incl dentally 1t is a revenue tax on ev- |erybody's clothes.
 Note well this interesting fact that in spite of the teuderest tariff pam perfng. the country is wholly unable to produce half the wool for its own cloth 'ng. Most of it. therefore, must necessarily be imported.
 In the face of this necessity, the ruthless wool schedule piles up it's

The population of the United States
may be classified thus: Natives of I'M

natives of foreign parentage, Ito; ma
ties of naturalized percentage, clio.
aliens, Ito, says the Circle.
The original American stock WAS
English with smattering Of Scotch

French and scandinavian. The pro
portion of any of these strains in the

American nativity. Tho preponder-
anCe OF population is of whites hay
ing ole or more of these strains in
their blood the majority of such be-
inr able to trace descent by one and
the other to original settlers.
Since 1920 over 2S.0O00g0 aliens
have immigrated to this country, the
vast majority OF whom never returned
TO their native land But the inter
mixture of immigrants with natives
and their descendants was negligible

In the ninth census 1870 the CLASH
fication of native whites gave place
to native whites of native parentage
and included the descendants of all
white persons born in the United
States indiscriminately.
OF the 28.000000 aliens who have
migrated to this country onefourth
came prior to the war of 1861 SO, I'D
of the 81 100000 who have landed

1895 the major part of the immigra-
ton WIS from the British Isles. Ire
land principally Germany and Scan

stream from France and Switzerland
and scattering groups from most 9TH

Since that year the arrivals from
those countries excepting Scandinavia
have greatly decreased and the bulk
of immigration has been from Italy.

Brood Sow Earns $50 in One Year.

Over in the east part of the town of

ing porker that is the proud mother
of ten little ones. This fact of itself
is of no significance. but taken in
connection with what has gone before
is somewhat out of the usual. Within
the past twelve months this same
porker has brought her owner no less
than $50 from the sale of her pigs
which with the inventory stock on
land, is a pretty good showing. Just
nefore November first of last yeaf
there came a hitler of eight, and as
they grew apace, each departed leav-
ing an acceptable five spot to take

pork market had eased somewhat, the
little fellows cashed into a total of
$40 that time Now comes the latest
assortment, with the prospects for an
active demand excellent. Fact is that
ii would take a pretty long winded
chap to convince Mrs. E. H. Raymond

good money in pork.
