DETERMINED TO HIT ZINC.

The zinc situation is looking serious
There Is no conceaIing the fact. The
as the Occur RAlenes and other min
ing regions of the west are proving
successful In making zinc market
able product In a ready market 1t has
been work of years, involving much
money and effort Literally zine han
ding is an Infant industry here and
in many mining sections. If let alone
1t would flourish, but 1t can be killed
by legislation in the interest of for
eign producers. and the free traders
seem bent on that kind of laws. Just
as the zinc problem is being success
fully worked out here and elsewhere
the industry Is to be crippled or crush
ed by free trade theorists.
The Mining and Scientific Press,
San Francisco, a well known author
ity, has these figures in explanation
of the situation.
Zinc producers in the Joplin dis
trict have been much concerned over
impending tariff changes. The pres
ent duty on spelter Is l 3-S per
pound and on manufactured articles
5-Sc. On ore containing % per cent
zinc, and nothing lower will stand i'm
portation, the duty Is 1c per pound.
The Underwood bill proposes to place
all alike on 10 per cent ad valorem
basis. Last September spelter aver

has fallen steadily to the present.
$52S. Even at the high prices of last
fall, demand was so large that there
were importations. though not large
ones, while at present prices imports
are unmportant. Foreign prices are
now only maintained by means of
agreement The average London price
for the past six years has been l,o2

than the equivalent New York price
Freight and duty would equal about

tariff would be, as its authors pro-
pose. competitive

BREAKS ALL RECORDS.

According to an advance statement
by Ernest f. Burchard Of the United
States geological survey. the total
quantity Of Portland. natural and puz-
solan cements produced in the United
States in 1912 was 83,351,191 barrels
valued at S67,461.5l3. compared with
79,547,95S barrels. valued at $66,705,1S6
in 1911. This represents an increase
in quantity Of 3.SO3,233 barrels. or AIS
per cent and in value Of $756,377. or
1.13 per cent
The imports Of hydraulic cement in
1912 were approximately $500 bar
rels. valued at $93,55S. or about sl.37
barrel compared with 1860 bar
rels. valued at s242,722 or $l47 bar
rel in 1911 In 1912 the quantity ex-
ported was only 4.215,532 barrels, most
of which was Portland cement, valued

SCARCITY OF COMMON LABOR.

| There Is an extraordinary shortage
of unskilled labor reported in all parts
| Of the country. The great plants of
the steel trust are not operated to
their capacity owing to this shortage
Other plants in all parts of the couu.
try are similarly handicapped The
Philadelphia Ledger says that there
Is more work in Philadelphia than
there are hands to do it and the hands
can not be obtained.
The labor manager of a Pennsyl-
vania steel concern went to New York
to try to get 200 laborers from among
the newly arrived immigrants. He
landed just eight. Kansas has already
sent out its customary annual alarm
call that there Is great shortage of
hands to harvest the record breaking
crops of that great state, while James
j. Hill says that the only menace to
der is the possibility that labor can
not be secured for the harvest All
over the country farmers are seeking
to get the men they need for their
summer work and can not get them
although Offering larger wages than
ever.
Similar conditions we're witnessed
about this time last year. Big manu-
featuring concerns in the east We're
then, as now, employing labor scouts
on the lookout for men. but not get
ting anything like the number that
there was employment for.
The ordinary unskilled day laborer
now commands the highest wages ever
known in this country and does not
exist in sufficient numbers to meet the
present demands. This fact in itself
alone Is sufficient proof of the sound
basis of the present prosperity. There
is a surplus of some kinds Of educated
labor, but not of the unskilled kind
and. singuarly enough that same I'M
skilled labor is in many places draw
ing better wages than are paid in
some of the soft handed" pursuits, in
which a higher order of intelligence
is theoretically necessary.

CONCRETE WALKS FOR MuLLAN.

Concrete sidewalks are wanted In
Mullan. AS near as we can learn a
concrete walk costs about twice as
much as plank walk--that is. for
the first cost. The cost of a plank
walk Is never complete for the reason
that 1t requires rebuilding about every
three wears, while concrete walk.
once built is good for all time. If the
city would pass an ordinance requir-
ing concrete walks within the fire
limits Wa believe there would be but
slight complaint on the part of the
property owners within the limits. The
way the matter stands now 1t Is n
continual expense both to the city and
property owners for sidewalks and
crosswalks. We should at least be as
progressive as other towns in the
Occur d'Alenes,--Mullan Progress.
The Mullan paper is exactly right
in its comment The sidewalk ques-
ton is settled for all time with con-
crete. The Occur d'Alene towns are
peculiarly well situated for concrete
work. All the material for this work
except the cement is available right
in the towns and can be had for the
taking. II In produced by the mills
and is waste. It is crushed quartz and
quartzite, of different grades Of fine
ness. and is equalled by nothing as
material
Some years ago Wallace made the
requirement for concrete walks Prac-
tically everything in that line now Is
and while there was little
at first. nobody would
ever think of questioning the wisdom
IF 1t now. The final result would be
he same in Mullan.

public hearings on the tariff bill. and
- was not known to certainty how
they intended To vote. Senator Poin-
dexter's name is only half way down
the list, so when he got word that his
vote was needed he deliberately cast
his vote with the democrats and
against the hearings. 1t SO happened
that Poindexter's vote was not decid
ing for only two democrats voted with
the republicans But had all the dem
ocrats who at heart favored hearings
voted as they believed. Polndexters
vote might have decided the result. or
at least his vote might have brought
about tie and enabled the vice presi-
dent TO cast the deciding vote.
This is the record of Senator Miles
Poindexter to date And It Is com
mented upon by senator's as being
strange record for the bull moose lead

long professed his belief in the pro-

siderable resentment among progress

THE GOOD IT WILL DO.
The Law Looks at tho Criminal, Not

(Rrooklyn Eagle


A woman correspondent of this pa

the immediate release of Julian Haw-

distinction in literature. Granted"
she writes, that he has done wrong
what possible good can it do us to
keep him there in a cell ?"
Well, the example of his detention
until he has finished at least a reas-
enable portion of his extremely light
sentence may serve to protect us from
people inclined to prostitute their tai
ent for swindling purposes as he has
prostituted his. Also it should serve
as a notification to sentimentalists
that the law takes cognizance of the
criminal, not of his ancestry

Trade follows the advertising. Where

that holiday goods are in and makes
no special effort to hunt for gifts.

c. R. JOY TO ATTEND
Matter is of Vital Interest to keokuk

tory-TeIesrams
Sent

The intar-city bridge bill, known
as senate file 1918, will come up for
hearing tomorrow morning before the
senate committee on commerce. Mr..
c. r. JOY of this city, president of
the Tnter-City Bridge Co, has gone
to Washington to be present at the
hearing. This Is the bill introduced
in the house OF representatives April
81, 1913. by Congressman C. A.. Ken
nedy and seeks the right to permit
the construction OF bridge across
the riyer from the upper end of the
power house. using the dam as part
OF the bridge.
This Is measure which Is OF great
interest to Keotuk and Hamilton and
Warsaw and this section as II would
give ample entrance into the city
from the Illinois shore. The people
of keokuk are vitality interested in
the success Of the measure and to-
day kilograms were sent to the senate
committee and the Iowa senators and
congressman asking their support for
ehC AACdoAIc e.
The work of constructing a bridge
across the forebay would not require
much time and should permission be
granted by congress there would be
almost immediate activity. 1t is hard.
" expected that the bill will pass at
this special session which ends very
soon but II is hoped that the commit.
tee before which the hearing is held
VIII give a favorable report which
will help advance the bill so that 1t
can receive early consideration at the
regular session. A bridge across the
river at Keokuk in addition to the
one already in use would be of great
value to the transportation interests
and to the cities served.

trade. An early trade can be created
by the simple expedient of telling the
public what they can do at this stage
of the season.
To the outsider at least, 1t would
seem as il the merchants would like
this trade distributed over as many
weeks as possible. In that way they
can avoid hiring extra help, and the
public will be better satisfied If it
avoids hasty buying. Regular adver-
aising promotes and establishes this
regular current of business.
