Worlds Tin Supply.

The latest and most authentic sta
tistics on the worlds tin supply show
that three-quarters OF all the tin used
comes from Southwestern Asia. The
total production annually amounts to
something over $4,000 tons. Although
the output increases every year the
supply is still insufficient for the de-
mand.
The United States is the greatest
tinusing nation in the world, as II
consumes over 45 per cent OF the en-
tire supply, although contributing
little of it. A tin mine was opened
IN South Carolina five years ago, and
there are said to be deposits in North

BYERS INSTITUTES
BIG EXPRESS SUIT
ALI Companies in Iowa Are
Accused Of Charging Most
Exhorbitant Rates.

Des Moines, Ia, Sept. 12.-Attorney
Genera Byers today commenced the
most important proceedings of years
before the railway commission to COM
pei a general reduction OF express
rates all over Iowa. He commenced
the proceeding under the general pow
er conferred upon him by law to ap-
pear before any tribunal n prosecute
any case I'm which the state may be a
party or be Interested.
He asks that the commission issue an
order reducing all express rates on the
ground that these now charged are
unreasonable, unjust and extortionate.
h five companies doing business In
Iowa are made defendants.
He sets forth at length their own
reports as to their capitalization bust
ness and earnings in Iowa and else
where. He states also that in the order
Of the board in February, 1908, fixing
maximum express charges there was
q clause stating that the application
Of this tariff is to be governed by the
current express classification"
Mr.. Byers says that under this clause
n express companies have simply
made a farce of the commissions
schedule OF rates n the extortion
sought to be reached not only goes
merrily on but in some instances has
been increased" He cites figures show
ing that the profit made in Iowa bust
ness is 300 per cent Of the capital used
In Iowa, and If to his is added the
Iowa proportion Of interstate business
h rate is increased to 1900. He also
shows that the rates just put into ef-
feet in Illinois are far below the rates
established by the board in Iowa.
He asks an immediate hearing and
full Investigation.

FLAGS TO SCHOOLS
OF THREE COUNTIES
Beneiciaries Are From District
in Which His War Regi-
ment Was Formed.

Des Moines, Ia, Sept. l0.-George w.
Schee, Of O'Brien county, has done a
unique thing in the line of providing
flags for rural schools. He has cstab-
lished a fund in control Of an associa-
ton to be known as the Thirty-third
iowa Flag association for the purpose
IF placing an American flag over every
school house in the country districts
of three Iowa counties IN perpctually
maintaining them there.
These counties are Mahaska. Marion
and Keokuk. the counties in which the
~rhirty-third Iowa volunteer regiment
was raised. There were four compa-
MES from Mahaska and three from
each of the two other counties in this
regiment, of which Major Lacey was
an officer. George w. Schee enlisted
In the regiment and served through the
war. When he left it he was a poor boy
almost without relatives and unable to
cad or write. He educated himself
and moving into norwesterD Iowa he
entered into business. and became pros
porous. Twenty years ago he was
elected to the legislature and served
three terms, and two years ago he was
elected again and has been renomi-
mated.
Some years ago he became interested
In having flags placed on the rural
school houses in northwestern Iowa
ana he IDdue All OIIeT VI iluuCcuiSut
which resulted in flags being placed
over 300 of the little school houses OF
that part of the state.
A short time ago Le went to Oska-
loosa, from which place he had en-
listed as an orphan boy in 1851, and
gathering together a few Of his old
comrades he unfolded to them a plan
to provide a fund for school house
flags in Mahaska county. He had pa
pers drawn up creating a trust asso-
citation and contract. Then he decided
to enlarge 1t and include the two 9TH
er counties from which his old regi-
ment was recruited. He placed at the
disposal Of the association thus formed
a fund Of $12, 900. the proceeds from
which will maintain h rural flags
permanently.
Mr.. Schee was prominent in legis-
,ative circles and Is a strong man In
every way. The plan is entirely new
for providing flags for the rural schools.
