EL0PEMENT Is BEST
 WAY ID WE'D

LONDON. June j. What we need ill England is more elopemcnls; if lovers wait, their romances end in parting" expounds Mrs York Miller, d writer of sentimental serials She had been discussing the results of d siX-year engagement, al the end of which the man tired and the iinancee sued for Il breach of promise.
 And people should not have long engagements, she says. If people are really fond of each other they cannot keep apart. They may decide to have long engagement, but they end by marrying quite soon.
 The time of the engagement is trying period that wears out the patience. It is supposed to be a probationary period, but it is against nature. and results in boredom and separation. Yet, probably had they married sooner, their union would have been happy. whereas a long engagement in the long run ends in a breach of promise case
 The engaged people have no way of consolidating their interests and getting to really understand one an ether. They live at high tension, always trying to be on their best behavior, and they get tired of each other and begin to see each others defects. But if they get married soon they have all sorts of things to coun- teraCt those defects.
 If l had daughter who was en- gagged to be married would never let her be tied to man unless she was to marry him within six months. 7"

SPLENDID SHOWING MADE BY THE BALZiMER PROPERTY ON WOLF CREEK CREATES MAR kET FOR SHARES.
HOmESTAkE IS NAME
 CHOSEN BY COMPANY
Three ledges Run Through Claims. One Of Them Being the Famous Creek.

Believing that the uqartZ outlook can best be improved by tai,ln., all active interest, the ilomt stake i'm ing company, incorporated eofel! Ly local men, has put a blo 4, oI iGa stock on the mai ket in order 10 be able 10 further carry on the develop ment work.
 The claim upon which this firm is working is situated at ;he head of Wolf creek. about TWO miles above it's junction with Cleary. and Was located by A W Ballincr iii August, 1908. II adjoins the Mc- Carthy claim. which is on the divide between Fairbanks and Clcary creeks, and which was recently proved to contain q high value. free milling ledge of ore
 Several months after the locati,n people organized into the Home stake Mining Company, and took over inc development of the prop erty. The incorporates were J. II Hamil A. w. Balzimer, A J Nor. dale, August Lundstrom and Gust Bostrom, and they took up among themselves the million shares of stock that were issued.
 Upon their acquisition of the prop erty, the company tunneled ill from the base of the mountain for dis tanCe of 3l5 feet where they struck vein of good quartz that is from four to twelve inches ill width. Cross cuts were then made to both sides ,,f I. ,,t, ,I, on one side fer g. feet. on the other for distance of l. feet Samples of this ore were milled recently and found to contain the yellow metal to the extent of $47O to the ton.
 On the surface of the mountain there is all OutcrOp of two and one-halt foot ledge of quartz ill which the gold can be seen with the naked eye. By calculating the dip of this vein 10 the level of the tunnel. il is believed that when the hole is driven into the rock for q distance Of fifty or sixty feet more this rich vein will be encountered.
 It is also believed that the Me Carthy ledge runs through this prop erty, and will be struck in the next three or founr hundred feet
 In order to procure funds with which to carry on the development work unhampered, the stockholders returned one-siXth of the total capital stock into the treasury of the com pany. and have now decided to dis pose of d block of SOO00 shares at DO cents, which is one-half of their par value SubSCriDtiOnS are com ing ill fast, and it is now only a matter of short time until the company will be able to take up the work of driving the tunnel to the larger and richer lodges Cn a much larger scale At the present time four men are continuously at work on the property.
 The work being done on the pppt,~ erty is in charge of A. w. Balzi- mer. ;%@@s }

supply better for the shipment of grain but to
prevent thieves from stealing the crop reports of the
state and federal governments were made more ac-
curate and mutual fire insurance companies were
started for the purpose Of reducing the on ee-
vator risks
These but some of the improvements that have
been made in the grain trade by the national associa
ton, which is of the great organizations of
the country, embracing within its membership nearly
all the important grain and individual deal
ers in the United States from the largest operators
the great grain centers to the country elevator
There has been purposely omitted from this list

because special reference must be made to it, This
is compulsory arbitration among the members an i'm
proyement which is ethical than material, and
perhaps, for that very more important than

methods, but that fundamental morality which
had it's inception in the Sermon on the Mount
Every member Of the Grain Dealers National asso-
citation is pledged when he Joins the organization TO
submit any trade differences he may have with any
other member to arbitration board OF three ap-
pointed by the president This board is composed of
practical grain men selected from different sections
of the country. Their work is a labor OF love- for
they receive compensation and are called upon to
decide many that most intricate and in

the grain business they are. perhaps, much better

rate, their rulings have been emnenty satisfac
tory TO the trade for since the board established
number OF years ago but two members have refused
to arbitrate and promptly expelled from the
citation.
1t will thus be that the great cereal crops OF
the country, worth hundreds of millions of dollars
are moved from north to south and from east to
every year with minimum friction, with feeling of
brotherhood among the members instead OF of
enmity and with amicable settlement of honest
differences without resort to the civil courts.
The establishment of this board OF arbitration has
had a wonderful effect upon the grain business 1t
has weaned the members from the old pernicous
methods and has taught them the value of coopera-
ton and fraternity. 1t has made them that men
not necessarily enemies because they are com
petitors, but on the contrary they are all brothers

reduce the hazard OF business by honesty and fair

Between 500 and 1000 delegates will be in Omaha
to attend the annual convention The sessions will be
held in the Hotel Rome, which has been selected as
headquarters.
The program for the convention is now being pre-
pared. 1t will be a lengthy one and will contain the
names of some of the most famous statesmen in the
country At these conventions of the grain dealers
senator's, governors and prominent congressman and
educators have in the made addresses upon topics
that at the time foremost in the public mind andt
their uterances have been widely quoted This prac-
ce of securing political civil leaders to address
the delegates has made the annual meetings of the
association events which looked forward to with
anticipation not only by the grain men of the country
but by the average newspaper reader who has come
to regard the meetings with the iveliest interest be-
they supply the occasion for the announcement
OF governmental policies and for the promulgation OF
advanced and progressive theories with reference to
the conduct OF great business enterprises.

devised that they might be broken if the market

This the situation that confronted the fifty
earnest who met at the Saratoga hotel in Chicago
on November ., 1896. They had gathered to see if
something could be done to improve their condition,
