KILLED IN THE GALENA.

Sisto Branz was killed in the 500
foot level of the Galena mine Tues
day morning. He and Dominick Mos
er were putting in some timber to
support some loose ground, when a
big quantity of the dirt came down.
Branz was caught beneath the cave
and it was six hours before his body
could be removed. The dirt was so
loose that as soon as that over the
body was shoveled away, more would
come down.
Moser had miraculous escape.
He was working under the ground
that covered Branz but had Just
stepped back into the level to get a
tagging which the two were going to
put in the drift.
Coroner Hamllik decided that no
inquest was necessary.
The body was bruised about the
face and shoulders and indications
We're that death was sudden and un-
accompanied by suffering.
Sisto Branz was 26 years of age.
He was born in Austria and came to
America six or seven years ago. I'm
til he became interested in the lease
in the Galena, he worked in Perigo.
He was single and member of the
C. T. l. society. The funeral will be
held Saturday morning from the Cath
olic church.
Deceased was brother of Mrs.
Bart Partelli, Mrs. Augusta Tavon-
atti and Louis Branz of this city.
besides these relatives he leaves a
sister in Pennsylvania and a mother,
brother and sister in Austria.

EDISON PERFEcTs TREATMENT
FOR LOW GRADE ORES.

A new triumph, probably the
crowning achievement of Thomas A.
Edison's career, has been accom-
plished, it was learned today, in the
perfecting of a method of separat-
F., ing the paying elements of ores that
will mean 100000, 900 a year in the
productive wealth of the country.
The inventor has been working over
his plan for years and, it is said,
has spent fortune in his expert
| mental work.
He is not at this time prepared
to give out the details Of his new
| method, but it is learned that a plant
that required $25O,O0O a year to op-
crate can be carried on by the new
Edison method for $4,000.
The general effect of Edison's s
method is to do away with the term
| ''low grade" ore. With his system
ed from all ore. The machinery he
has created is SO simple child
could operate it.
Those closely associated with the
inventor declare he believes his
| new invention is the most valuable
! he has given to mankind.
H. B. Clifford, who is stopping at
the Waldorf-Astoria, stated that there
was no doubt about the successes of
Edison's work.
1 Il cannot explain the Details" he
said. But there is TO doubt about
the wonderful way it has worked
oIt.
81 am metallurgist and it ap-
peals to me that this is the most
important thing that Mr.. Edison has
done for his race. 1t stands beside
the electric light in the matter of
important inventions. Its wonder is
in its simplicity. 1t is revolutionary
in it's effects upon the progress of
the commerce of the world.
THE whole plan of extracting the
valuable material from ore will soon
be changed to the immense advant-
age of mankind as result of Edi-
sons work. New York Journal
OF course there is no way of de-
termining whether his process We're
chemical or mechanical. If he can re-
duce the cost OF plant from $780,
900 to $4,000 that is an item which
should weigh well with investors;
were he to sell or lease the working
formula
To increase the procuct of the
country by S100,0OO,0 zoo would he a
pretty big business for one concern.
Edison's word is seldom doubted.
If he gave out information that he
has solved the problem of low-grade
ores, it should be accepted as gos-
pei. But some would wish that his
announcement contained the informa-
ton that complex ores were handl-
d.That one omission might put his
idea on the blink. However, the min
ing public must wait till the wizard
cares to take the public into his con-
fidence.
oolic are ledtiul tldI lHe buSSeu-
helms and the like might secure the
process and suppress it or make it
n monopoly. In that case-well, it
is no use picturing the dark side.
All the miner cares that he secure
a market for his ore, but he would
wish that Edison handle his own,
hoping thereby to receive fair treat

That n BegOtten Convention.

The platform adopted at Chicago by
the fraudulently constituted republican
convention which nominated Taft and
Sherman is perhaps the longest and
covers the widest range of subjects
ever adopted by any party. 1t is a po-
litical trap, very much like the negro's
rabbit trap, it is open at both ends
and set to catch republicans, demo-
Gratis or socialists. 1t is about as reso-
nant with real meaning as cracked
hell and will have less effect in at
tracing voters than the street corner
spell binder. The convention that
formulated it was begotten in sin last
January when the national committee
met in Washington and promulgated
a party rule which was to take prece-
dence over law; it was brought forth in
iniquity and wet-nursed by Rosewater,
Mckinley, Crane, Root and Penrose.
To make the picture complete and
give it the proper setting it should
have William Lorimer for godfather.
Ye Gods, it smells to high heaven.

More BituIithiC at Albany

Albany, Ore, June-The contract
for paving First Street with bitulithic
has been awarded to the Warren Con-
struction Comply.
This award was made after the COM
mittee appointed for that purpose and
a number of interested property owners
had made thorough examination of
the various kinds of paving in use
throughout the Northwest. They found
bitulithic in more general use than any
other paving. and found it eminently
satisfactory wherever used; perfectly
surviving every test of wear and OF
climatic conditions and proving the
most economical of all pavings because
of the fact that it will support the heav-
lest traffic for years without repairs.

Wasting Time and Space

To the mild impeachment OF Mr..
Corcoran that the editor of the Echo is
getting old, he pleads guilty. Not so
old, tho, that he has forgotten how to
spell correctly. That he himself is
youthful, indeed, very youthful, is so
apparent from a perusal Of his turgid,
verbose mental fluctuations that con-
firmation is wholly unnecessary. Those
unacquainted with him will conclude
he is sweet sixteen" Witness the
following:
'The one live bet of the Echo's
Intellectual Junkheap' would have
been declared fatherless and con-
demned to the realms of mysterious
illegitimacy."
Whew, but that's going some, tho
it might have been more clear had he
confined himself to plain statement
of facts, unencumbered by accumulat-
ing distractions Of metaphor and allie
CORY, as Scotty Briggs would say.
He added to his reputation in this
community by asserting that he has
tried to avoid personalities, when ex-
actly the reverse is true, as everyone
knows he repeatedly invited his own
undoing before any notice was taken
of him. The editor Of The Echo
Graves the forgiveness of his readers
if he has devoted more space to an
unimportant subject than seems neces-
sary, and his excuse is that he really
needs enough of Mr.. Corcoran's hide
to cover pack saddle.

KEEPING THE BOYS ON THE
 FARM

Free entertainments are given in rural communities in Pike county Alabama, as part of a campaign to induce the people to stay on the land instead of abandoning their farms for city life. This information has been received by the United States Bureau of Education from E. NJ Shackleford. principal of the State Normal school at Troy, Pike county, Alabama, who is at the head of the movement MT. ShacklefOrd writes:
 Tn my opinion, the exodus of the younger generation from the country to the town is at present the most se- rious menace to our general welfare. Good roads, motor cars, the telephone and rural mail delivery are improv- ing rural conditions greatly, but rural social life does not yet afford the opportunities for the commerce of ideas that an active; reading, thinking public demands Hence the tendency to c0ngregate in the cen ters of population, and hence this eff fort of ours to afford l few social opportunities through course of free entertainments"
 The entertainments given consist mainly of lectures. lantern shows" and selections upon the victrola. Some of the lectures are given at
