THE board has cabIed to Washing

"Of course we hope that the law, II
it passes. will not affect tho ffnnigra-

said Fred L. Waldron this morning,

"Of course there are good many
things in one of those laws which a

the Board is doing nothing to fight

SOCIALISM MEANS SLAVERY.

Differ with a bigot and you will he
condemned for his ignorance Dis
pute with a socialist and you will be
evaded or dismissed with the re-
joinder that you do not understand
socialism,
Socialism cannot afford to be un-
derstood. It's strength lies i'm con-
cealment of it's true nature and mo-
tives, and it hides behind hazy defini-
tions. Its opportunity is through
confusion; it's appeal is emotional ito
the heated mind. From Marx to Eu-
gene V. Debs it ignors principles to
address passions.
Yet socialism has always been too
we'll understood and it's tendencies
too ill-concealed to permit of its sue
cess. 1t is older than Mohamedan-
ism and older than Christianity it-
self, but it has never borne good
fruit. The brotherhood of man, as
eXemplified in socialism, has been
all protestation and no practice.

The feature of the Copper Pro
ducers' statement for May was the
large deliveries to domestic consum-
ers. This totaled 72,702,277 pounds.
The daily average deliveries were g.
345 ,234 pounds, as against daily av-
erage in April of 2,317,12S pounds.
Stocks of copper on hand in the
United States are now below the So
000, ,000-pound mark. On the basis of
the May consumption this lis equiva-
lent to only about 20-days taking of
metal In view of the May state
ment of the association further ad-
vances in the price Of the metal may
be looked for unless there is some nn-
foreseen change in the general busti-
ness situation.

the introduction of new crops or
products, the establishment of new
enterprises and the bringing forth of
conveniences and commodities which
farming districts demand. Herein hes
almost every inducement to the i'm
vestor or the specialist.
Another phase of the subject re
lates to the matter of finance. There
is every opportunity for the man
with capital to establish himself in a
new district and supply the settler
with needed livestock in instances
where the Individual has not the nee
essary capital for the acquirment {
livestock to eat his products. Inve&
ments of this character are sure and
safe. The returns enrich both ii
man with money and the farmer with
the stock, who stands sponsor fo1
the RETURNS. The country rs old
enough i'm the farming business to
permit the man with money to lmlte
with the farmer for mutual advan-
tage.

There never was q time in the his
tory of the country when the value of
land holdings lis as fully appreciated
as at the present time. A desire
to purchase land as am investment is
increasing and individuals i'm every
walk of life are realizing as never
before the stability of land holdings
as AN investment. The result of this
condition has made cheap land ad-
vance in price during the last two
years, and land which was thought
too high at 800 per acre has CORE
spondingly advanced. Experts declare
that Within a few years irrigated
lands along the Colorado river will
be selling at from $500 to $500 per
acre.

UNRELIABLE PRESS REPORTS.

The sensational stories going out OF
San Bernardino to the Los Angeles
papers relative to the flood conditions
Of the Colorado river are brimful of
uatruths and misrepresentation. Ac-
cording to these stories, written by
paid space writer's in the need of
meal tickets, Needles has been wip-
cd out and is floating down the riv
er in pieces; the Palo Verde valley
ba, suffered a million dollars loas,
all the people who fled to the mesa
lands are in imminent danger of be-
ing eaten UP alive by poisonous rep
tiles, every kind of which was com
peeled to seek the same place of safe
ty from the overflowe@ DISTRICTS
While these places have suffered
some damage by water the lllrid eX-
aegerations of the San Bernardino
correspondents are injurious to the
entire Colorado river country, and
no reputable paper should publish
them without mVeSClSatlOn. Some
claim that every story pertaining to
the high waters in the Colorado iG
being exaggerated because Imperial
valley is endeavoring to have con
gress appropriate a large sum for
the protection of the leVees in the
lower river But this We do not be
Iieve They are simply coming out
of San BernardinO where all of the
exaggerated stories of the river and
desert country spring from. If ii
has a San Bemardino date lime it is
ii safe bet that it isn't true, and
everyone living lin the desert country
for the past few years will heartily
agree with this statement

THE METAL MARKET.

No good reason exists, under pres
ent general conditions, and with the
metal market SO strong and buOyant,
why every mine in the west should
not be ON the producing hist, COM
ments the Salt Lake Mining Review
Gold, of course, is always staple, but,
with the ruling quotations ON Lead,
silver, copper and zinc, there is not
a mine in the country that cannot
be worked at profit. Lead has
been stationary in price, for two
or three months; but, at the ruling
quotation, Lead ores of average grade
can be handled at good advantage;
while silver lis ON the upgrade again,
and is bringing a figure that should
greatly encourage producers of the
white metal. AS for copper, the ad-
vance being made in this metal
should greatly stimulate activity i'm
mining for copper ores. 1t copper
were to remain at present quotations,
the situation should be perfectly sat
isfactory to copper producers. AS a
matter of fact, there are those who
believe it would be dangerous for
the red metal to go higher; doubt
less through fear of reaction which
might cause prices to drop below
present levels. With copper at 16
and IL cents the average producer
could no. we'll ask for anything bet
ter: and, if this figure were to be
maintained, indefinitely, the indus
try would always rest upon a more
substantial basis.
Conditions throughout the world
are favorable for a steady demand
for the metals. The relations exist
ing between nations, the hostilities
existing i'm foreign countries, and the
Steady advancement along industrial
lines bids fair to maintain a steady
;inG ready market for nearly all of
the mine production; market that
will absorb the output to a point
where surplus can hardly exist; a
condition which almost guarantees a
strong and regular market for an in
definite period.
