That Columbia is becoming cosmO-
politan is shown by the number OF
foreigners. especially Greeks, who
are settling here. There are about
fifteen Greeks in Columbia, working
as bootblacks and as prOprietOrs of
candy shops.
One of the best known to the Uni
versity students is Jimmie" Magas,
who owns candy kitchen. Magas
was born in COrinth and has been in
the United States eleven years, the
last four years in Columbia. Twice
he has gone back to Greece to visit,
which shows that he has made
good" He likes Columbia too well
TO ever think of going back to Greece
to live.

dy," said Magas. They will not buy
any but the best. There is as much
candy eaten in this town as in a city
of 10000 population. The biggest
part of my customers are university
students.

uage in the world. My little girl is
in the third grade at the Lee School
and is one of the best pupils in her
class. She speaks English very we'll"
Magas has the characteristic Gre
clan trait-love of the beautiful
and says he likes America so we'll be-
cause everyone treats him so nice
and pretty" He spent six months at
the St Louis Worlds Fair and says it
was the "prettiest" time he ever had.
Two other Greeks who have been
in Columbia for thirteen years are
the Moscow brothers. who both own
candy shops. They We're born in
Macedonia. which is still under Tur-
kish control and in state of unrest.
The younger Moscow said he learned

successful has he been in his bust

THE OLD CASE PRINTER.

When the romance of journalism is
written. it is to be hoped that the old
time ease printer is not overlooked.
With the advance of the linotype,
this early knight of the stick and the
turn rule is being driven back into
the remote country Offices; like the
Indian he is pushed farther and farth-
er back with each advance of civiliZa-
ton until he must either learn to
run a machine or pass from the
drama of the printing office.
He was a genius and man of let
ters, this 'type-sticker" of the good
old days. He knew Shakespeare and
Tennyson and Burns and Poe. He
could quote Dickens and he knew
Mark Twain and Opie Read, Bob
Ingersoll was a favorite of the craft
and many printer who had imbibed
enough of liquid joy to loosen up his
tongue and liven his wits, could
quote the Grafton at the grave of In
gersoIls brother with touching ef-
feet.
Hamlet's soliloquy was favorite
of the printer in his cups and in
printing offices from Maine to Cali
fOrnia this dramatic passage has
been recited with appropriate tone
infection The case printer read
line by line the copy that he set. AS
he spelled out the words at the case
he had time to reflect on the thought
of what he was putting into type.
This careful. slow labor made him an
exponent of accuracy and many a
printer was equipped to correct the
spelling and grammar that came
from the more learned minds lin the
front office"
There is no romance in machine.
The linotype has crushed the genius
out of the printing craft. The me-
chanic whose fingers deftly fly over
the Keyboard of a Mergenthaler or
adjust the matrices in the type box,
has no time to study or reflect over
the copy that comes to him. He fol-
lows but does not necessarily read
what is given him to set.
The case printer had to go. He has
followed the Bohemian of the repOr-
torial trade. There was no place
for him in the new journalism, the
rush and roar of frequent big edi,
tions. He will never come back. He
lives but in memory and the memory
is faded. 1t is to be hoped. there.
fore, that when the romance of jour
nalism is written he will have a gen
erous chapter devoted TO his memory

COX DISCHARGED
FROM CUSTODY

At A O'Clock yesterday afternoon
Judge Ducker rendered decision in
the Cox habeas corpus case. The Court
held that both former judgments were
illegal and ordered defendant discharg-
ed from custody.
In many respects this has been re-
markable case, and certainly a very
costly one to both the county and de-
fendant. On August "a j. H. Cox was
arrested in Winnemucea on a charge
of carrying concealed weapons. At
his trial before Justice Dunn he con-
Quoted his own defense, with the usual
result, being found guilty and SEN
fenced to pay a fine of $50 and serve
80 days in Jail.
as counsel and his case was appealed
hearing before Judge Ducker and a
jury on December 23, and he was again
found guilty, and on the 2Sth of the
same month was sentenced to pay a
fine of $50 and serve go days in the
county Jail.
On the second day of the present
month Cox paid his fine and applied
for writ of habeas corpus, his coun-
sci claiming that there was an error in
the printed statutes of 1903, and that
according to the original act the Court
could not legally impose sentence
of both fine and imprisonment. On
January 3 the application was denied
and Cox brought into court and the
former judgment vacated. He was
then sentenced to serve one month and
23 days in the county Jail and it was
ordered by the Court that the $50 fine
money be returned to defendant.
The same day defendants counsel
applied for second writ of habeas
corpus, on the ground that the Court
was without authority to vacate the
former judgment and impose a new
sentence, as by SO doing their client
had been twice placed in jeopardy on
the same charge, contrary to the con-
stitution. The point was taken under
advisement by Judge Ducker, who yes
terday rendered a decision as above
stated.

COLCONDA CATTLE
cos CASES RESET

The two civil suits brought against
the Golconda Cattle company by the
United States government for damages
for the alleged illegal fencing of gov
ernment land were to have started in
Carson yesterday, but have been CON
tinued until February 1st. At that
time it is probable that there will be
another continuance of these two civil
suits, and it is not probable that the
criminal indictment against the Col
conda Cattle company, of which Kent
is president, will come up for some
time. The two suits in which the
government is suing the company for
$4,000 damages will be tried first and
then the criminal charges will be dis
posed of.
Tn addition to an attorney in Wash
ington, ID. c., an attorney in Oregon
and one in San Francisco, the Golcon-
da Cattle company has employed Geo.
Bartlett, former congressman from Ne
vada, and Attorney Charles Levers to
represent him.
Attorney Levers says that he does
not believe the government can win
the suits. He says that Congressman
Kent s company has only fenced its
own land, but this land runs along two
streams which terminate in com
mon point and extend in fan-like
manner. The land the government
claims is illegally fenced lies between
these two streams. While this land is
enclosed, it is not really fenced in bv
the Golconda Cattle company, as an en-
trance can be gained to it through
road at one end and through the open
space at the other end.
Attorney Levers says that the whole
fight against Kent is of political ma
ture, and that when the cases are tried
this will develop to be the fact. He
says that if Kent was not in politics
t is doubtful if the suits would be
prosecuted against his comnanY

SCHOOLS
FOR EVERY LARGE CRY
(Special to the SILVER STA,

SPOKANE, Wash, Jan. o." An
agricultural school or an experiment
station should be established in the
outskirts of every large city in the
United States,' declares r. j. Mae
lean, secretary of the Spokane cham
Der of commerce. He believes this
would, in a measure, solve the cost of
high living and would direct attention
to the production of basic resources
Continuing he said:
81 do not agree with the president
of the Washington Educational asso-
citation when he says that more atten-
tion should be devoted in the schools
to commercial lines. / believe we
should first devote our attention to
education in agriculture and mining.
These are the pursuits from which all
wealth emanates and on which all 9TH
er pursuits are dependent. Increase ac-
tivity in these lines and you, perforce,
must increase activity in commercial
and all other lines.

would be an agricultural school or an
experiment station in the outskirts of
every large city to educate young men
in things pertaining to the farm. The
difficulty now is that the city man who
wants to learn something of agricul-
ture must usually go a long distance
away, entailing great expense. In the
cities there are thousands of people
who merely exc out an existence.
How much better they would be if
they were on farms.

city for the first time is very green

is nothing greener than the city boy on

NATIONAL SHIPS
S6O-A-POUND ORE

Last evening both of Haviland &
Hoskins' autos came in from Nation
al heavily loaded with rich high grade
ore, taken from the property of the
National Mines company. One of the
machines was in charge of F. A. Tay-
lor, superintendent of the mine. the
other by William Gordon. The ship
ment consisted of Is sacks of ore,
weighing 1850 pounds, worth in the
neghborhood of $50. per pound, or
total value of about $111,0O0.
The fortune was handled from Win
nemucca by Wells, Fargo & Co., and
was shipped to the San Francisco mint
on No. 3 last night
This ore was carefully sorted out
from a considerable tonnage taken
from the mine within the past few
days, the balance going to the com
pany's mill.
1t is reported on good authority
that the company is working three
shifts of men on the mine and are
taking out from $50 to 800 pounds of
equally rich high grade each shift.
Citizens of Humboldt county have
become so accustomed to these rich
tie attention is paid to them. How
ever, it may be truthfully said that
the ore brought down from National
last night exceeds in value the entire
production of the famous Porcupine
district Canada, where mining stock
is being sold as high as 500.

Camp Looking Better Than Ever.

Owing perhaps to the litigation over
several of the mines, National has at
tracted but little attention from the
investing public during the past year.
Notwithstanding this fact, men in a
position to speak with authority state
that the camp is looking better today
than at any previous time in its his
tory, and that opportunities for profit
able investment are better now than
ever.
On account of the litigation mention
ed, investors are now turning their at
tention to Three-Mile creek, where
several properties are being worked
with excellent showings. Prominent
among these are the group of the Ma
tional United and Blueiay claims.
Stowe & Treau are in receipt of ad-
vices from George Stowe, their super
intendent, stating that he has located
the ledge on the property and will
shortly begin another tunnel lower
down in order to cut the ledge at a
greater depth. He also sent samples
from the face of the present tunnel,
which is in 80 feet, showing fine
quartz.
1t is rumored that a merger may soon
be effected OF Three Miie properties
that will astonish the mining world
and bring thousands of dollars for the
development of this section.
