Bull Moose Weak in oregon.

Straws indicate the course of the
wind with respect to the Bull Moose
party, which, if we may believe it's
leaders, cherishes hopes of a sustain
ed and enlarged existence as a force
in the political life of the country
The. latest comes from Oregon, where
the Moose movement was strong
enough last year to break the con-
troll of the regular Republican party
and give the vote of the state to the
Democrats Practically the old-time
Republican vote of two-out-of three
was divided between Roosevelt and
Taft But current registrations indi-
cate that the Moose movement has
passed.
The plain significance of these fig
ures, taken from counties widely sep
arated, is that those who left the Re
publican party to vote the Roosevelt
ticket acted under temporary motives
and that they are returning to their
normal party affiliations. And if this
be true in Oregon, where under in
SEPARATIONS of very exceptional kind
the Roosevelt movement was very
strong, it would seem to give assur-
ance of what is happening or what
will happen elsewhere

INDUSTRY IN ALARM
Proof That Tariff MeddIing Is Sc
riously Feared
Significant Trend Toward aEstablisis-
ment Of Plants In canada-Re-
markabie Increase of American
Investments There.

When the federal authorities find time
to make Governor Foss' attack on the
tariff test case they will find that
government reports substantiate his
statement that the tendency of manu-
featuring interests is toward the es-
Enlistment of plants in Canada
Since Governor Foss is a leading Dem
ocrat as well as the chief executive of
large state and a prominent manu-
facturer his case is one of the best
that can be had for testing the Dem
ocratic theory that manufacturers who
reduce wages or close their mills
are guilty of something close to trea-
son.
While it might be encouraging to
take the view that Governor Foss'
case is exceptional, the government
reports prove it to be otherwise 1t
is estimated at the bureau of for
eign and domestic commerce that
American capital invested in Cam
ada now aggregates 100000, 900.
There has been remarkable increase
In the last few years-ever since the
agitation for a lower tariff in this
country was started
Not long ago Champ Clark told of
the migration of a surprising number
OF Missouri farmers into Canada, and
other states are sustaining the same
loss Money is being driven into
Canada by the restrictive attitude of
this government, and manufacturers
now are building plants there because
they feel Canadians will have a dis
tinct advantage over Americans under
the new tariff bill.
After a while American manufac-
turers will wake up to the possibfli-
ties of manufacturing certain kinds
of supplies, notably hosiery and un-
derwear and steel, in China and
japan, where labor can be hired by
the month for the same price as by
the day in this country. Already
manufacturers are realizing that the
greatest danger to American industry,
under a low tariff, is from Oriental
competition. The trend to Canada is
obviously the result of hardships
placed upon Industry in this country.

Rare Metal in Small Quantities Usu-

trated in one locality by the continued
action OF water 1t is rare metal
and the accumulation must be from
great extent OF country If paying

Platinum is OF silver gray color
which is rarely furnished. Its devol-
opment is similar to gold. except that
where gold Is usually associated with
quartz and light colored rocks plat
mum will be found more commonly
with dark colored rocks, and espe-
cially those of a greenish shading
1t is found only in small quantities,
except at two or three localities. West
ern Colombia and eastern Russia have
gravel beds which afford the princi-
pal supply of this metal. Elsewhere
1t is found over considerable areas,
but not sufficiently concentrated to be
OF importance. 1t may g looked FOR
among the formations &C jacent to re-
gions of old volcanic activity.
The distribution is principally in al
tered rocks. and segregation seems to
have been the principal cause con-
tributing to its collection In ore
bodies. The deposits found UP to the
present time have been of irregular
naturalization and not OF great ex'
