Have Not Held ANY Meetings.

While there have been no public
meetings held at any point in York
county for the ostcnsible purpose Of
urging the farmers to hold their cot
ton for higher prices. still it is not
likely that there is any county in the
state where less cotton has been pass
ed out Of the hands OF the producers
than in York since the price dropped
below 10 cents, and it is doubtful
If there is any county in which so
large a proportion of the farmers are
able to hold their cotton as in this
county.

peal the Case.

Columbia. a.-Dischargin the rule to
show cause and declaring the peti.
tioner had no rights to seek the aid
of the courts to execute contract
which was never consummated, Judge
John s. Wilson signed an order In
the case of the D. F. Johnson Publish
ing Company of Richmond against the
state board of education and the D. G.
Heath Publishing Company. The
Johnson company sought to force the
state board of eduation to eliminate
the readers of the Heath Company
from the schools Of the state. The
case will very probably be carried to
the supreme court for decision.
The contract for the third, fourth
and fifth readers was awarded by the
education board to the Johnson COM
pany. The publishing company re-
fused to sign the contract under the
Interpretation of the board with ref
erence to exchange prices. The con-
tract was next awarded to the Heath
company.
The following lie the order signed by
Judge Wilson following the hearing
held several days ago:
"On hearing the petition In this
case, the rule to show cause and the
return thereto, and full argument OF
counsel for both parties. and on full
consideration of the issues involved,
II Is,
Ordered and decreed that the rule
to show cause be discharged and the
proceedings dismissed. 1t is manifest
In this case there was a call for bids,
a bid for readers and other books
made by petitioner and the Bid accept
ed. But the call for bids stated as
condition that the publishers whose
bids were accepted should execute
and deliver to the board a stipulated
written contract. Such a contract
was soon thereafter prepared by the
state superintendent of education and
sent to the petitioner. But because
OF difference between the parties as
to the Interpretation and construction
of clause in the contract, the petit
toner, although 1t signed the submit
ted contract, would not deliver 1t.
Therefore this petitioner has no right
to seek the aid of the courts to COM
mand the respondents to execute a
contract which, by the acts OF the Pc
tioner, was never consummated."

MINERAL PRODUCTION OF
THE INLAND EMPIRE
(Specjal to the Silver State)

SPOKANE, Wash, March 2.-Sta-
tistics compiled from official reports
of mining companies within a radius
of 125 miles east and north of Spo-
kane show that the value of gold, sill
yer, lead and copper produced in this
territory in 1910 amounted to nearly
10 per cent of 1927 ,939, 600, the total
output of these metals in the United
States last year. The district pro
duced metals of the value of $2S,9ss,-
010, as follows: Lead, $11 ,641 900;
gold, 1886, ,462; copper, $5,067 900;
silver, $4944,54s. Dividends paid dur
ing the year on this production
amounted to more than $3,500,000. 1t
is estimated that the mines in the In
land Empire, including the Occur
d 'Alene district, in northern Idaho,
produced silver and lead alone equal
to the value of the entire mineral out
put of Alaska, estimated at $17 AGO.
900 for 1910, while the value of all the
metals produced in the district was
greater than the receipts from the
wheat crops in Washington and Idaho
and surpassed the amount received for
the entire grain crop of Washington in
1910.

zLER ARRESTED

Constable Williams, of Natioial, ar
rived in town Tuesday evening, bring
ing in Frank Friend, who was lodged
in the county Jail to await the action
of the grand jury, which will meet

Friend was arrested on a wtrrant
sworn out by Summerfield & Fearce,
alleging the embezzlement of $3.50.
For some time past the prisoner had
been in the employ of the firm, hlving
charge of the transportation of freight
from the foot of the hill three niles
below National to the camp. He also
acted as collector for the firm, AM, it
is alleged, collected the sum MERTON
ed, which he converted to his own use.
The affair seems to be particular
ly aggravated case of ingratitude, as
it is claimed that the firm gave the
prisoner employment last July, short
ly after paying his expenses during a
long spell of sickness, allowing hin to
work out the bill.
