Elk City mining news. (Elk City, Idaho) 1903-1913, 1912-07-11


The report of the committee on reso-
lutions was adopted in substance as
follows:
We heartily indorse the movement
now in progress for the development
and upbuilding of the small cities,
towns and rural communities of the In
land Empire and pledge to said move
ment our earnest support.
We recommend the use and sale of
home made products in our several COM
munities and the patronage of local
merchants and industries by all con-
sumers.
We believe that the decrease in the
population of the farming sections and
rural communities IS due in a consid-
cradle measure to the tendency toward
the charging of individual farm hold
ings and to the operations of the ma
tional mail order houses. We urge,
therefore, a concerted and widespread
effort to reduce the size of the farm
unit, to encourage intensive farming
activities, and to give the most extern
sive publicity to the possibilities and
prospects that are opened to the legiti-
mate homeseeker in our respective
communities.

charge Of numbering William Murray.

the so-called Antelope Hill cut in the
extreme southeastern section of this
county. Luther is being held in the
county jail at Towner. and his evil
dence, it is understood. will be to the
effect that Schultz was out during the

so has some other facts relative to
the prisoners actions on that night.
Papers that were supposed to hav
been taken from Murray's dead body
have been found in Schultz's room.

THE FINANCIAL
TRADE REVIEW
St. Paul's Short Dividens the
Controlling Feature of
Last Week

New York, Jan. 29-The chief event
Of last week in the financial world was
the reduction in the dividend on st.
Paul stock from seven to five per cent.
This was foreshadowed so clearly that
stockholders were prepared and the
effect upon security values was small.
This event. however, seemed to
had been forming.
crop for two successive years with the
serious effect upon earnings placed
the northwestern roads at a disadvan-
tage. For them, except for the Great
Northern. the current decreases are
cumulative upon last years poor
showings. Moreover the case of st.
Paul is individual in it's struggle with
the opening Of its Puget Sound ex-
tension involving the slow development
Of traffic and the burden Of increased
charges occasioned by its financing.
There were other developments
which helped to dissipate optimism
that was noticeable toward the close
Of last cal. The reaction in the buy
ing Of steel products was a factor in
influencing sentiment, owing to the
stress which had been laid upon the
previous revival in steel buying as an
mediation of a general trade improve
ment.
'Corroborative evidence of a halt wal
found in other directions such as the
softer tone of the copper market, the
heavy accumulation of idle money at
the banking centers and the poor
showing Of earnings by railroads. The
statement o fthe chairman of the st.
Paul board in explaining the dividend
reduction put the situation in an UNI
favorable light. There is no prospect
Of improvement in general condi-
tions," he said.

MAY BUY POWER
FROM GOVERNMENT
City of Williston Submits a
Proposition to Reclama-
ton Service

Williston. N. d., Jan. 2s.-This city
has submitted to the reclamation YER
vice OF the department OF the interior
a proposition for a contract un-
der which it is proposed to purchase
power from the reclamation service
plant, three miles from Williston.
There is something like 1000 horse
power standing die nine months in
each year and 1t will be a great a
ing to have the plant in constant op.
Grafton.
This work on the part of the city
officials marks a new stage in the ne
Eotiations that nave been carried on
for several months. and which were
begun as a result of the investigation
and report of Engineer A. H. Storrs
of Denver last fall. Mr.. Storrs is the
engineer who superintended the con-
struction of the government plant
here and is thoroughly informed as
TO the local situation. 1t is probable
that his report and suggestions will
have considerable weight with the
government officials in making their
answer to the offer of the city.
1t is understood that the govern
hent plant can generate power and
sell 1t to the city at a lower cost than
the city can supply itself from its
smaller and less efficient plant. In
case the city contracts to take power
from the government, 1t will begin
doing so the first of next July.

MARKET
at the end Of last year will be rejected

at the end Of last year will be reelected
in the quarterly report Of the United
States Steel corporation to be made
this week, and estimates of what the
earnings would have been, increased
substantially since the opening Of the
previous quarter. This belief was
heightened by the assertion of Presi-
dent Farrell before the congressional
investigating committee that good
prices were being procured for ex-
port business.
The rise in foreign exchange toward
the gold export point aroused interest
principally for its proof of the poor
demand for funds in this country. Ma
turing loans to German borrowers
were said to have been partly paid off
and partly renewed.
