whether I will draw the bill on the model

respects and neither Is altogether satisfac-
tory.
In the case Of Denver and St. Louis
the cities and the counties have been incor-

Omaha and the suburbs should be made into

that Reagan will be given the task of

IMMENSE WEALTH OF LEAD
AND SILVER IS FOUND

Spokane, Wash, Dec. 29. - Eighty
million dollars worth of lead and sill
yer has been taken from Wardner hill
i'm the Occur d'Alene district of north
lern Idaho. 12S miles east of here,
Isince the beginning of systematic de-
velopment work, according to Stanley
IA. Eaton, manager of the Bunker Hill
and Sullivan mine, who made the
statement in spokane today. The
gross output of the district, from 1883
to date, is estimated at more than
$210 900 900, with net profits of be-
tween sal 100000 and $42,000,O0O. The
district ranks first in the United
States in the output of lead, the Mis-
souri-Kansas belt being second, Utah
and Colorado fourth.
"The only discouraging feature of
the mining situation at present is the
depression in the lead market" Mr..
Eaton said, "and this is due solely to
JuG uncertainty dDOuC INC IdAlh huNh
of the lead now being produced in the
United States is mined at a small
profit. This is especially true of the
Missouri mines. 1t is out of question
for American lead mines to compete
with those of Spain, which produce a
tonnage equal to the United States
with little or no consumption on ac
count of the poverty of the people.
eve are not afraid of competition
with the Canadian mines. The condi
tions under which the lead properties
are operated in the Dominion are sim
liar to our own, and there is small OBJ
lection to reciprocity with Canada il
lead and lead products.
"But for the tariff uncertainty th'
lead market would be in a mucl
stronger position than that which OBJ
tains for copper, principally because
no large lead producers have been de
veloped in the United States for years
while enormous deposits of copper ore
the product of which can be marketed
profitably in New York as low as eigh
cents a pound, have been opened III
recently"

HARMON ESCAPES
SEVERE INJURY
Rode Horse on the Railroad Bridge
And is Kicked OFF And Fell
Thirty Feet.

From Thursdays Daily
That James Harmon, living eight
miles east of town was not killed last
night is regarded as a near miracle
by those who saw his plight when he
attempted to ride his horse across
the Frisco railroad bridge that spans
Bull creek near Electric park, and was
thrown to the bed of the creek about
thirty feet below.
Harmon came to town yesterday and
imbibed too freely of the "bootleggera
jov." Last night he started home but
decided in his drunken madness, to
cross the railroad bridge. About hall
way across the horse fell, one leg go
ing between the ties. Harmon in some
way caught under the falling horse
but the horse in its struggles to lib
crate itself from the bridge, kicked its
rider off the bridge and he fell into
the creek. The water was six or eight
inches deep and broke the fall. Har
mon cried out for help and some boys
who had been to the skating rink, came
and helped him out of the water.
The horse was still on the bridge
when Frisco freight train came
along, but was seen in time to stoI
the train. The crew together will
City Marshal Wilkinson dragged the
animal across to the east side of th'
bridge, and aside from few scratches
found him uninjured
This morning Mr.. Harmon had com
pletely recovered and rode the hors'
home.

LAHOMES MANAGER WAS
FORCED TO Be REASONABLE

The people who heard LaHoma sing
at the Auditorium last evening greatly
enjoyed her performance, but it is
safe to say that the Civic Club of Vim
ita will not care to arrange for her re-
turn while she remains under her
present management. Complaint is
made that her manager, after a verbal
agreement with the ladies some weeks
ago, delayed sending the formal con-
tract for their signature until a few
days ago, and then forwarded one diff
ferent in many ways from the original
deal Even yesterday and last even
ing he is said to have threatened to
take LaHoma away and leave the audi
ence in the lurch if the ladies did not
comply with some extra demands. But
when he learned that they had talked
the matter over with the city marshal
he decided to draw in his horns and be
reasonable.

PLAN To BUILD
BIG HOTEL HERE
Now Certain That Portion of Burnt
District Will Be Rebuilt in the
Near Future.

That at least one hundred feet front
age of the recently burned district will
be rebuilt is now certain. The owners
of the north one hundred feet of the
property, where the fire of December
1, occurred have determined to build.
They have two plans in view. One
is to build four story reinforced con-
crete building to be used for a hote..
The building of this depends on the
action of the Commercial Club and
the subsequent willingness of the citi-
zens to bonus home people as they
have offered to do for outside capital.
AS soon as plans for this building can
be prepared they will be presented tc
the Commercial Club together with the
property owners proposition to the
ely. 'If the city will give us the
bonus" said T. NJ. Burlington, one OF
the property owners, 1--WE will build
one of the best hotels in the state.
On the other hand should the Com
mercial Club act unfavorably on the
bonus proposition, these property own
ers will build two story office build
ing with store rooms below.

RANDALL NOW RECEIVES
HIS MAIL IN BARRELS

Spokane, Wash, Dec. 29.-Albert J.
Randall, a rancher of Okanogan coun-
ty, Wash, who recently placed an or
der for 1000 cats with S. S. Gilbert of
Sharon, Pa, is receiving his mail in
barrels at Conconully these days. The
writer's, who represent practically
every state any province in America,
say they will supply all the cats need
ed if Randall will pay the express and
carriage charges. Randall has taken
up the work on behalf of orchardists
and farmers in north central Washing
ton, who believe they can rid the coun-
ty of gophers and other ground pests
by turning cats loose on the land. He
will visit various districts in Penn
sylvania early in 1911, making head
quarters at Sharon, whence a con-
signment of 1000 felines will start
across the continent in April. Gilbert
and a score of volunteers have prom
ised to assist in rounding Up all the
stray cats in and near Sharon. Ran
dali says he is willing to pay a fair
price for all the cats that are deliver
ed to him. He will not say how he
expects to rid the county of cats after
the gophers leave.

TARIFF COMMISSION IS
NOW PRACTICALLY CERTAIN

Washington, d. c., Dec. 49, - I'M
petus toward the movement for per
manent tariff commission was given
Wednesday by the conference at the
White House and capitol, by the return
of Representative Longworth to Wash
ington with full draft bill creating
commission and the announcement of
Chairman Payne of the house commit
tee on the ways and means committee
that he expected such legislation be-
fore March 4.
Following the discussion with the
president over various features of the
legislative program for the session,
Payne announced that the bill for such
a committee is acceptable to both con-
gress and the president, and that it
will be put through the senate and the
house before this session ends. Later
at Payne's instance he had a confer
ence with Chairman Emery of the tar
iff board, regarding the personnel and

that these should be fixed by the COM

compensations, Payne believes there
should be a legislative check to aggre-
gated expenditure, but is said to agree
as to the necessity of freedom of ac-

RAILROADS HAVE
pISOBEYED ORDERS
CORPORATION Commission Prepares to
Punish Roads or Make Them
Comply With Regulations.

Guthrie. Okla, Dec. 29.-Delinquent
railway corporations are going to hear
something from the corporation COM
mission regarding the failure to report
wrecks and about constant, system
attic lying as to late trains. Acting
chairman A. P. Watson announced
Yesterday that the commission intends
to use all its authority in efforts to
enforce the rules requiring telegraphic
reports of wrecks and accidents in a
given time and correct bulletining of
trains. Complaints of violations of
the rules come in constantly.
1t is said there have recently been
wrecks on the Rack Island and Frisco
hut no official reports have come in.
Investigation will at once be made by
the commission.
There is pending a case against the
Santa Fe for failure to report wreck
at Pauls Valley two weeks ago. The
case was set for yesterday. but it has
been postponed to the second day of
the January term, which term com
mences on the second Tuesday OF the
month.
Citizens of Shawnee, in an effort
to improve the passenger service to
that city, have complained to the com
mission of the infrequency of passen'
ger trains on the Santa Fe. They ask
an important change to this effect:
That No. IL will be split at Pauls
Valley and run by way of Shawnee to
Newkirk; that No. IL be split" at
Newkirk and run by the way of Shaw
nee to Pauls Valley. This would give
two more trains than the city now
has.
In regard to reporting of trains it
is said that there we're gross abuses
of the public during the holiday rush
and that at Ell Reno, for instance, q
train was bulletined an hour late
when it was five hours late and the
station force knew it. There is said
to be a common practice of ascertain
ing that train is at least an hour late
and then bulletining it twenty minutes
late.

BAXLEY TAKES BIG
DOSE OF POISON
Young EmpIoye OF Laundry Commits
Suicide by Swallowing Thirty or
Forty Grains Strychnine.
From Thursdays Daily.

From Thursdays Daily.
Albert Baxley died at eight o'clock
this morning, in the rear of the Peo-
Piles drug store. from the effects of a
heavy dose of strychnine administered
by his own hand.
The relatives and friends are utter
ly unable to assign any reason for the.
sudden determination of Baxley to end
his own life. Yesterday he was as
cheerful and apparently as contended
and happy as could be. This morning
he went to the shipping office of the
Ratcliff- Sanders Grocery company and
asked his brother-in-law, A. F. Etter
for a drink of water Etter pointed
to the drinking water and cup, and
went on with his duties as shipping
clerk Glancing up he noticed BaXley
taking something from a small bottle,
and asked: What are you taking AL
bert?" Young Baxley made no an
swer but tossed the bottle over to
Etter's desk. The latter picked it up,
but didn't know what it contained.
Another ,employe of the wholesale
house, however, noted the poison label
and told Etter TO get medical assist
ance at once. EtterttOOk the small vial
and ran to the People drug store,
where he was told that the bottle had
contained strychniRe, and to get the
Ipatient there as soon as possible
Baxley ran after taking the poison, but
was caught and taken to the drug
store, where he died without saying a
word
The bottle had contained about sixty
. grains of strychnine and all but about
one fourth was gone so it is estimated
} that he took between thirty and forty
} grains of the poison.
J The deceased was brother of Will
; Baxley, he night watchman and is
J survived by his mother, three brothers
and a wife His only child died few
months ago. The funeral services
will be held from the residence on
West Tahlequah avenue at o'clock
Friday afternoon.
