A Big Feed.

AT regular meeting oI Dlue
Mound Local, No. 4S7, held on
the evening of July 7, the MEM
bers met to partake of a banana
feed which had been voted in
honor of ridding the neighbor'
hood of a lot of undesirable cit
liens.
The aforesaid undesirable cit
l. ems had stolen almost every
thing loose, and the members de-
tailed to watch had done good
work. The task was hard one,
but they stuck to it, and the Re-
suit was that the community was
rid Of the bad bunch, and Judge
Ellis has found homes where the
two little children can grow up
to be useful and respected.
But to get back to the text.
The members of Blue Mound 10
cal had gotten together 10 do
some lodge work and enjoy their
treat, and renew allegiance to
the good cause. The thieves had
stolen chickens, meat, and even
the dishes out of the school
house. The dishes belonged to
the Ants and were used at ban
auet times. The thieves even
stole the marbles out of the bal
lot box, some of the rituals and
other literature. The Ants, as
we say, had met to do some lodge
work and have a little feast, aud
lust as the work was about fin.
ished, and everything was lovely
and the goose was hanging high.
there was an alarm at the door,
and upon ascertain.ng the cause
was found that the better halves
and sweethearts of the members
had raidcd the lodge, and brought
with them baskets full of all
kinds of good thing to eat. But
the women were not admitted to
the lodge room until after the
work was finished, forit is known
that women do not keep secrets.
After the work was done, how
ever, the ladies were taken into
the fold of the lodge room, and
the eating commenced. And il
was good eating, too.
The children and young people
present had as good a time as
the older people, but the mem
bers of the lodge did most of the
eating, of course, for had they
not earned a big feed?
1t was an occasion long to be
remembered, and all present hope
the affair will be repeated, all
except the matter OF looking
after crooks.
One Who Was There.

The holiday week resulted in
heavy curtailment of ore produc-
ton in all the camps. Ore
prices responded for second
grades of zinc blende, and the
base range for the week closed at
$50 to SIS, with rumors of $5S.5
being paid for a few lots. The
remarkable scarcity of ore in
small lots was one of the reasons
for some of the buyers of second
grades to be so strong in their
bids. One buyer who is given to
buying small lots at from four to
six dollars below the top base
price, this week was willing to
pay as high as $57 for second
grade, or within a dollar of the
general base for first grades.
The highest settlement reported
was S6l.50.
Coming on Thursday, the ma
tional holiday cut the week in
two aud in so per cent of the
field, the mines remained idle
over till Monday of the new
week to give the mine operators
time for making repairs about
mine and mill. 1t is believed
that from 1850 to 1000 tons Of
concentrates were cut off during
the week owing too the holiday
and its after effects.
Calamiue ores remained firm
at S2S to $50, aud all available
ores found a ready sale.

Tax Matters.

In response to inquiries for Of
fetal non-partisan information
relative to the increased cost OF
state and local government dur
ing the period from 1908 to 1911,
the Secretary of State has pro-
cured data compiled by the State
Tax Commission so that exact
facts and authorized figures may
be given to the public.
An analysis of the statement
procured from the Commission
shows the following facts:
The total increase in the state
taxation to meet all the rppro-
priations of the Legislature fol
the eight year period including
the cost of the executive, judicial
and legislative departments, the
educational, charitable and penal
institutions, new public build
ings and sites, Judges and Dis
trict Courts, and all other pur'
poses was $S15,S23: And the
total increase of local taxation
including the cost of City, County
and Township Government, and
the cost of education in cities and
school districts was $40, 058, O54.
Segregating the expenses by
counties the Tax Commission
finds that in Cherokee county,
the increased tax collections fOI
state purposes was $2,365.67; and
for local purposes-including the
expenses of City, County, Town
ship and School District pur'
poses, the increased tax collec-
ton was $111,201.2O.
In order to have the statement
purely official, neither the Tax
Commission nor the Secretary OF
State has made any comment
whatever upon the figures.
