Producing Slabs of Pure Gold

says: Gold in almost pure slabs is now
being taken from the Adamson q Tur-
ner mine ON Winremucca mountain.
The most amazing feature of the strike
is that it is accepted as a matter Of
course and is creating no particular ex-
element. although the output of gold
is making Winnemucca n of the
busiest towns in the State. There are
now about 10 leases operating on

pany in order to restrain them from
putting up or operating the smelter now
in course of con struction by the mining
company. Miller & Lux allege that they
own lands %aggregating 10000 acres in
Mason Valley. and that if the smelter
is erected and operated the fumes from
such will destroy their crops and the
vegetation on their lands. Damages
are not asked for yet, but it is believed
that this move of the company is aimed
to give the stock company a standing in

smelter people state that they have
studied the possibility of damage to
crops and are prepared to arrest and
consume all the gases dangerous to
vegetation.

After he had resigned as pc

After he had resigned as PEN
sion commissioner and returned
to Kansas, Gene Ware was fond
of relating an experience that be-
fell him while he was stationed
at the National capital. He was
invited to deliver a Fourth OF
July grafton at Gettysburg and
accepted. He mentioned the
matter to President Roosevelt
one day at the White House. "By
George, that's bully said Teddy.
81 will just go down and listen to
your address" Then Teddy
paused for a moment and said;
"Yes, and I'll make Root go, too"
Then he paused again and said:
"I'll take the whole Cabinet
OF course that made Ware feel
good. To think that the Presi-
dent of the United States and the
members of the Cabinet would
go to hear him make an address
tended to puff him up just a little.
Well, Teddy and several members
Of the Cabinet went all right.
Courtesy demanded that the
President be called on first "for
a few remarks" So Teddy was
called on. He spoke for two
straight hours and Ware never
did get 30 deliver his speech.

Inasmuch as it is related to stone

He found that the graftings had made

STEEL TRUST REBATES
TO HARVESTER r III

Sacramento Bee: Recent dis
closures at Washington indicate
that the Steel Trust and its nu-
merous branches have been treat
ed with undue leniency by the
Government, and that this big
gest OF all trusts should be pros
ecuted as in violation of the
Sherman Anti Trust Law.
1t has long been notorious that
the Steel Trust, like practically
all the other trusts, sells its pro-
ducts for foreign consumption at
prices lower than those Ameri-
can buyers are obliged to pay.
Now the fact has come to light
that in 1908 a special agent of
the Department of Justice, then
headed by Bonaparte as Attor-
ney General, fled a report in
which it was charged that the
international Harvester Company
received a rebate of So a ton on
all steel bought from the Steel
Trust. And the Harvester Trust,
as is we'll known, has long been
selling agricultural machinery
for export at prices much lower
than American farmers are OBJ
liged to pay.
The wickedness and folly of a
high tariff on steel and agricul-
tural machinery. under such cir
cumstances, r glaringly evident.
Adoption of the original Bryan
remedy of putting trust products
on the free list would long since
have corrected such outrageous
abuses.
1t is indeed strange that the
American people have so long
submitted to be robbed by the
trusts through the transparent
pretense of a protective tariff,
when these same trusts have con-
stantly been underselling foreign
competitors in foreign markets.
Canada long ago adopted the
Bryan remedy, the Executive
branch of the Dominion Govern
ment being empowered to remove
the duties on articles in cases
where Canadian manufacturers
are shown to be charging KEGS
sive prices for the same products.
If that Government has been
negligent in applying the cure, it
is not the fault of the law.

Mrs. Reynolds starts her story Of mys-

of tales. A trained nurse on her way
to an engagement in the country, where
she is to take charge of a lady Of feeble
mind. Is taken by a mischance to the
wrong house. where lady OF the same

arises a singular chain OF circumstances,
leading to a crime and ultimately TO a
romance. An unusual and an entertain
ing narrative OF English country life in
what it is to be hoped are distinctly ex-
ceptiOnal circumstances.
