A LAST NEW YEAR.
Chinese Will No Longer Celebrate
NIanchu Holiday.

New York, Feb. 1.-THE little tri-
angle of downtown New York, known
as Chinatown, ended its last celebra-
ton of the Chinese New Year early
today with the noisy rattle of drums
and the staccato of thousands of fire
crackers. Never again will be seen the
red fire of the Che Vat holiday, which
has been a tradition of the Chinese for
4,61O years-ever since the great con-
queror, Hwang Ii, assembled the throne
and established his dynasty in Man
churia.
The modern Chinese have decided
that it i'll becomes a progressive re
public to continue a festival of the
Manchus, and after today they will
celebrate their New Years exc with
the rest of the world on Decent Der 81.
incidentally, six weeks will be drop
ped out of the Chinese calendar. AS
nearly as it can be expressed in Eng
lish, they will pass today from Janu-
airy 1 to February IS. Today is Cho
Vat or the first month; tomorrow will
be Ching Vat or the middle of the sec

BRING them HERE
Kelley Has Plan to Attract Fac
tories to Topeka.
Many Wealthy Clubs Fail to
Help Struggling Industries.

The problem that will particularly
occupy the attention of the CONNER
cial- club in the next few weeks will
be the working out of a plan where
by new factories may be brought to
Topeka and those already here kept
on their feet until such a time as it
VIII be possible for them to pay div
idend.
Secretary J. VIII Kelley has return
ed from his trip of three weeks dura-
ton to 6 manufacturing. cities in Ne
braska, Iowa, Illinois, Ohio, Indiana
and Michigan and has many ideas that
he viii utilize in making the local club
mere than ever a factor for good in
the city.
notwithstanding the fact that I
got many excellent suggestions while
on the trip, / visited no Commercial
club that was any better than our
own said Mr.. Kelley.
Il 1ound that the clubs that are
doing the most work are those that
are maintaining the noon day lunch
Lincoln. Sioux City, Davenport and
Cedar Rapids. There are clubs where
the members pay more dues than is
the case in Topeka. In Sioux City
they have more than 1000 members
who pay $25 a year. and at Daven-
port there are 500 members that pay
the same amount of money
Several of the clubs own their own
home. Davenport owns a beautiful CLUB
house that cost 100000, and about the
first of June the Lincoln club will move
into a s125,00O home.
Must Help Struggling Industries
Our plan for raising fund for aiding
manufacturing interests will have to be
distinctive in character to meet the local
conditions. The Sioux City club has sub
scribed $685. 900. That is the men have
signed contract which is the same as a
note, and the money is payable when re-
quired. They are doing lot of advertis-
ing with the money, but are not taking
care of the industries at present in the
city.
1.-THE plan adopted in Davenport is more
practical. The Commercial club in thai
city has raised a fund of 100000 one
tenth of which has been paid in cash.
and the balance is based upon the credit
of the subscribers. On this cash subscrip-
loan may be made to a struggling manu-
featuring firm to help keep it going I'M
til the industry prospers.
Next week 1 expect to call several
meetings of the board of directors of the
club for there is great deal of work 20
be done in working out definite plan
for Topeka.
at Cedar Rapids each club committee
not there is any important business II
be transacted. I believe it will be a good
idea to adopt that system in Topeka.
expect to have a bulletin board in a con-
spicuous place where the names of COM
mittee chairmen will be placed with the
time of meeting of the respective COM
mittees. Next week we expect to get to
work to arrange for the 1912 committees.
The cities visited by Secretary Kelley
are: Lincoln. Neb.; Sioux City. Daven-
port and Dubuque, Iowa; Rockford and
Chicago, H.: Richmond. Muncie, Ander-
san and Indianapolis, Ind: Dayton and
visited Kalamazoo, Mich; Quincy, Ill;
Keokuk and Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

Roy L. Bone Returns From a
Trip to New Mexico.
Looked Over the Topeka Mica
Claims While There.

Recently Roy L. Bone, commissioner
of finance, returned from a business
trip through New Mexico and while in
the vicinity Of Las Vegas took a run
down to Ribera, where S. B. Rohrer
and a few other prominent business
men of Topeka have developed a SPLEEN
did mica deposit.
4 saw the mill in operation down
there" explained Mr.. Bone, land it is
winnowing out the pure mica from
the crushed rock in fine shape. I new
er saw anything like the mica deposits
on the company's thirteen claims. One
may look UP the side of the mountain
and see almost solid mass of mica
bearing rock. The work already done
indicates that the farther down they
go the better the grade of the mica.
Blasting loosens the rock and mica
ready for the crusher and separator.
There is no necessity Of expensive tun-
neling or sinking of shafts. With the
special machinery now installed at the
mine there is no doubt but that the
mill in Topeka Will be kept busy and
the company make splendid progress

OWN MORE OIL STOCK
Rockefeller Has Increased. Not Dis
posed of Holdings.

New York, Feb. 17.-Wan street re-
ceived with great interest the COM
plete reports of this weeks fight in st.
Louis between the Rockefeller inter
ests and H. C. Pierce and his asso-
ciates for control of the Water Pierce
Oil company. An analysis of the
stock offered for the balloting in St
Louis showed John D. Rockefellers
personal holdings in the WaterS-Pterce
company as $50 shares.
When the Standard Oil subsidiaries
were split away from the New Jersey
company, each share of Standard Oil
received a fractional allotment of
Waters-Pierce stock, of which 2,747
was the numerator and 9S5,3S3 the
denomination. This fraction applied to
the shares which John D. Rockefeller
tried to vote in st. Louis shows that
total Of 244.145 shares of the old
stock of the Standard Oil company of
New Jersey must have been held by
him.
In 1907, Mr.. Rockefeller was shown
in certain court proceedings as the
holder of 247,692 shares, worth $780,
100000. At todays valuation of the
his holdings are worth
$17S,OOO,0O0. The figures obtained
from the Waters-Pierce meeting APP
parently indicate that Mr.. Rockefeller
has not let go any of his oil stocks.
