making Exceptions

The subject of Making
Exceptions as handled by
Rev. Lancaster in his dis
course Sunday IS one OF the
vital questions that is before
our people to day. He inn
pressed it upon his hearers
the evil growing out OF our
desire to be made all excep-
ton not only in the spiritual
law but the civil as well. He
deprecated the idea OF
ones position in life should
influence an exception being
made in his case when he
transgressed the law. He IL
lustrated his point by show
ing how we sometimes punish
the weak and ignoanrt while
the man of influence and
wealth would 90 free for the
same offense. We must plead

New Tariff Bill

The new tariff bill just pre-
sented to Congress has been
received with more hearty
approval throughout the
country than any that has
been presented heretofore for
more than half a century.
While the Republicans have
strained every nerve in en-
deavoring to find grounds
on which to criticize the
same, yet they have found
remarkably little with which
to find fault.

HOW WE ARE IN
JURED BY INSECTS.

Selected by Edw in Markham.)
Now that the year has swung
around TO vacation time. ii is worth
while to note what DR.. Woods Hut
Crimson has to say on the pests of
country life. From DR.. Hutchinson's
book, Common Diseases" sent out
by the Houghton Mifflin company, |
gather the following for you:
In most parts of the United States
during the season in which the
weather permits one to sit out Of
doors with any comfort. life is rem
dered a burden by flies, gnats and
mosquitoes unless behind the pro-
lection of screens
THE real battle of the human
species for the possession of the earth
nay even for the right to exist
upon its surfaee-must be fought.
not with mammoths, but with mos
quitoes; not with lions and tigers, but
with flies and gnats; not with behe-
moths, but with bacilli.
Our instinct to kill insects at
sight is perfectly sound. Out of the
quarter of a million species now
known to science, a mere handful are
ven remotefully helpful to man, and
most of these only by their power of
living upon other and more danger
White Pine news weekly mining review. [volume] (East Ely, Nev.) 1910-1920, 1913-07-20

Gus insects. On the other hand,
thousands of species are actively
hostile to man, to his food-plants and
to his domestic animals. Whole
tribes of men have been swept out of
existence by the attack of insects
carrying bacili-as within the last
two decades in Central Africa. by the
dread sleeping sickness carried by
the tsetse fly. Whole nations have
been weakened and crippled and
whole civilizations retarded by an
other insect-borne disease, malaria.
"Closer study of the habits of the
mosquito during the past five years
has brought out curious and at first
sight incredible facts that the ma
jority of these insects which carry
disease such as the malaria mos
quito. the yellow-fever mosquito and
the house fly, can live and multiply,
apparently, only in the immediate
neighborhood of human habitations.
In other words, they are literally
domestic animals and part of u
farm stock. This Is absolutely true
of the house fly and the yellow fever
mosquito, neither of which is even
found more than a mile or two, and
usually not more than a few hundred
yards, away from human habitations.
Dangerous and deadly as the mos
quitoes are. they are only middle
men, distributors, common carriers
of evils which they have picked up
from outside sources. For the most
part these outside sources are diseas-
ed or dirty human beings. So that VI
have really ourselves to thank for
most of the damage they do.

MAY BE NUTTY, But
HAS THE RIGHT IDEA.

1mbued with the idea that he has
received a special message from the
supreme Being directing him to end
the war now raging in the Balkan
states, John Viahos, a Palo Alto res
taurant keeper, dispatched a tele-
gram to King Constantine of Greece
ordering the cessation of hostilities.
Vlahos sold his business in Palo Alto
several days ago and purchased
steamship tickets to his home eoun-
try. He then proceeded to act queer
ly. and his relatives asked Chief of
Police Noble to take him into GUS
tody. The demented Greek believes
that he should hasten home and end
the war.

NEW CONTROL Of
WESTERN PACIFIC
BENJAMIN r. BUSH, REPRESENT
ING ANTI-GOULD FACTION, Sue
CEEDS &. II. SCHLACKS As
PRESIDENT.

The Western Pacific Is to become
last.
Millions of dollars are to be spent
on the road for betterments and feed
ers just as soon as Benjamin +. Bush
takes over the reins of management
and establishes the uni1cation of the
Missouri Pacific, Denver and Rio
Grande and Western Pacific systems.
The eastern banking interests,
such as the Speyers and Blair & Co,
of which Bush is considered chief
representative in Missouri Pacific and
Rio Grande holdings, have consent
ed to finance what practically
amounts to the completion of the
Western Pacific, but as one of their
prices for so doing, they have forced
the Gould interests TO resign any die
tatorial say in any of the three roads.
This information, coming from a
urc of unquestionable integrity,
vas itht'A'a III olAAithh 18lA3Rota
by San Francisco railroad officials,
possessing more than a passing know
ledge of Western Pacific affairs. And
IN the action of Schlacks r~esigning as
FIRST vice president and the action OF
Jeffery in stepping down from presi-
dent TO chairman of the board of di-
reetors. two direct results of the
bankers RELOCATION of the Gould in
terests are seen.
New Control Brings Money.
Ii was recalled in San Francisco,
that when first reports concerning
the %dwindling of the Goulds' power
in Missouri Pacific and Rio Grande
were circulated, they were confirmed
by official charges in the executive
stats of the two carriers.
The Missouri Pacific was in an ac-
knowledged financial predicament
when Bush. who first came into pro-
minence by putting the Western
Maryland on its feet. was selected for
its president.
He got money where It was difficult
for the Goulds to get it,and he spent
millions in rehabilitating the road.
Then he became president of the Rio
Grande, succeeding Jeffery. Jeffery
at that time became chairman of the
board of directors and George Gould
stepped out of Rio Grande altogether
and confined his railroad activities to
holding down the ehairmanship OF
the Missouri Pacific directorate in Of
fees in New York.
In this connection 1t Is remember
ed that Jeffery was confidential adj
visor to Gould for years and a Gould
representative. Bush took charge of
the Rio Grande and got more mil
lions to rehabilitate the road. He
now becomes president of the West
ern Pacific. 1t is pointed out, under a
program identical with Missouri Pa
cific and Rio Grande.

DIAMONDS MINED
IN UNITED STATES
THE PRECIOUS STONES OF NARl-
Gus KINDS ARE WIDELY DIS
TRIBUTED AND OUTPUT VALUE
NOT LARGE.

Gems and precious stones were
produced in the United States in
1912 to the value of $319,722 ac-
cording to Douglas B. Sterrett, of the
United States Geological survey. The
kinds of precious stones found in the
United States are many. ranging from
diamonds of finest quality to low
grade stones such as agetes, but as is
seen from the total value of the out
put there are no really large opera
lions.
The principal gem mineral mined
in the United States during 1912 was
Montana sapphire, of which there
was a large output for use both as
gems and in mechanical applications.
rhe greater part of the gem sapphires
came from the mines in Fergus
ty, where they occur in a rock matrix.
The majority of these stones have
the true sapphire-blue color. The
bulk of the sapphire for mechanical
use came from the deposits in Granite
and Deer Lodge counties and consists
of yaricolored stones.
The development of the opal de-
posts of Humboldt county, Nevada
was attended with much success, and
a quantity of magnificent gem materi-
al was obtained. The opal is of an
unusual type. consisting of dark
translucent mineral with a variety Of
rich colors. The deposits promise to
supply a gem equal if not superior in
beauty to the opal from Australia.
Prospecting and mining at the
emerald mine in North Carolina were
attended with only partial success.
TWO pockets or deposits of emerald
were removed during the year; other
developments consisted mainly of ex-
ploratory work. which has continued
into 1913.
The tourmaline output of southern
California was small, but some mag
nificent specimen crystals were OBJ
tanned. Especially fine gen crystals
of kUnzite were found and brought
good prices. The production of tur-
quoise was very small compared with
some previous years. Beautiful
amethyst was found in Warren
county. N. c., and some fine gems
have been cut from sample crystals.
A few fine specimens of golden beryl
were obtained from prospects in Alex
ander county, n. c. Beautiful gems
were cut from some of these. The
production of agate and associated
varieties Of ~chaleedony was again
large in several western states.
No great advances are reported in
diamond mining in Arkansas during
1912.
Several dozen diamonds were
found and several diamond-washing
plants we're constructed for opera
ton in 1918.
1t has been practically impossible
to determine the quantity and value
of the diamonds found in the Ar
kansas field since the first discovery
in August. 1906. Most of the stones
are still held by the mining eompan-
les and few have been sold. 1t is
estimated from the figures furnished
the Survey and from reports in the
press and those furnished by private
persons that about 400 diamonds
weighing nearly $50 carats have been
found from August, 1906. through
december, 1912. the total estimat-
ed value placed on this output in
these reports amounts to $12,10S.
Mr.. Sterrett's report is a very in
|teresting account of the various kinds
of gems found in the United States.

In new plans for the Western Pa
cific to be exercised under Bush's di-
reetion, the old interchange agree
ments with the Southern Pacific, ii is
said, are slated for cancellation.
1t came TO light at Railroad Com
mission hearings in several instances
that the Western Pacific had paid
Southern Pacific for a short haul as
much--and on several occasions
more-than it received for the long
haul itself.
The Southern Pacific vas willing
10 maintain these agreements, 1t Is
said by the railroad men. but when
the Western Pacific sought to make
different arrangements last year 1t
was forbidden to dc so. on the
ground that it could not afford TO an
tagonize the older carrier.
This action is pointed TO as n of
the thorns dropped in the path OF the
Goald men in charge of the Western
Pacific out here,
Sohlaoks and Jeffrey haven't been
on a bed of roses since the Gould
holdings i'm Missouri Pacific, Rio
Grande and Western Pacific began to
dwindle.

Mrs. c. A. Dodge.

Cora B. (Cleveland) Dodge, wife of
c. A. Dodge, passed away Sunday May
4th, in the Attleboro Sanitarium,
Attleboro. Mass, where she had been
for treatment since last Christmas.
She had been in poor health for num-
Der Of years but had gained through
the winter and seemed on the road to
recovery when she was without appar-
ent cause taken worse and passed
away without pain or suffering after
a few days. Mrs. Dodge was born
in Bloomington Nov 7, 1869, and was
united in marriage to C. A. Dodge on
June 9th, 1898. She cared for her
husband father and mother for nearly
twelve years. She was very thoughtful
of others and gave her strength to
make life brighter for her loved ones
and friends. The esteem in which
Mrs. Dodge was held was manifested
by the profusion of beautiful flowers
and in the helpfulness of her many
friends both here and from the
sanitarium, who did all they could in
that hour of trouble to help the loved
ones left behind. The deceased is
survived by her husband, C. A. Dodge
and an only brother, Harlie A. Cleve-
land. The funeral was held at her
home in Orleans, May 9Th. with Rev.
w. A. Warner of the Congregational
church at Barton, officiating. The
interment was in the family lot at
Irasbrug. Truly it can be said of her,
