BAKER LEADS IN
NORTHWEST GOLD

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14-The
steady decline in metal production in
Oregon, observed during recent years,
has been checked, says Charles G.
Yale of the United States geological
survey, reporting for the year 1912.
While the mine output in 1911 was
$657,00 worth of gold and 1921
ounces of silver, the preliminary re-
turns for 1912 show $657 900 in gold
and 86,951 ounces of silver taken from
the earth. The copper received at the
shelters was 100000 pounds, as com
pared with $3.50 pounds the previous
year, and new product, lead, amount
ed to $4,000 pounds.
Baker county leads the state in the
of both gold and silver.

+ MacVeagh had to capitulatee grace
fully. But he didn't restore the lunch
ing privilege. The public health serv-
ice opinion that lunching in the work
rooms was "unsanitary" stuck in the
way of resuming the old plan. So the
secretary decided on a regular lunch
con room. He cleared out fine, large,
sunny room, had 1t fitted up with nice
tables, put in little gas stoves for the
coffee and eat making and installed
comfortable chairs. An official order
conveyed the invitation to all employees
to make themselves at home during the
luncheon period in this room.
But the women clerks were peeved.
A week went by and not a soul used

month has now gone, and still the
cookstoves and chairs and tables are
unused. The clerks have first-class

SILVER INCREASES
In WASHINGTON

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.-Silver
production in the state of Washington
increased 60 per cent last year over
that for 1911, according to the prelim-
mary report made by G. N. Gervy of
the federal geological survey. Gold
output decreased 20 per cent, the value
of that produced being $4,000 as
compared with yield of $4,000 in
the previous year. The total of silver
for 1912 was $4,000 ounces, and the
copper 1,25O,0O0 pounds, or a gain of
295 per cent. Both increases were
largely due to development in Stevens
county. Lead and zinc shipments were
very small.
The total value of metal production
for Washington in 1912 was about
seven per cent above that for 1911.

THE CASE OF MIR. HAND.

Probably nothing is more of an evil

published in this paper yesterday

Yesterday a story was published
to the effect that knife had been
found upon the person of Mr.. Hand.
Previous reports had been that the
knife was a dirk"
The Star-Mirror had sufficient rea-
son to print that rumor, but it was not
taking even excellent reason for a
printable one.
AS result the story which it used
yesterday was that of Sheriff Browns
office deputy, Frank Robinson, who
stated that the knife was as described

the market value of the product in

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.-Secretary
of the Treasury MacVeagh is ponder
ing these days over the perversity OF
woman. Also a perfectly good room in
the treasury department is going to
waste.
1t is all the outgrowth of a feud
which the women clerks of the treas
ury are waging against their chief.
For years and years these clerks
many of them middle aged ladies-have
been bringing their lunches with them
to the office, and using convenient gas
jets for the boiling of coffee and tea.
Little luncheon parties were formed
and the ladies spent their half hour
of the recess period in gossip, doing
fancywork or knitting.
MacVeagh didn't like the practice.
He did what he could to break it up
by frowning disapproval. Then, finally,
he got an idea, and had the public
health service hold that the cooking
and lunching in the working rooms
was "unsanitary." An official order
was issued on this authority, banning
the tea and coffee drinking and the
luncheon parties. The women rebelled.
Some even took the matter to their

A Moving Story.
Even if a Little Late.

Some news we don't catch readily,
because it don't come our way.
Here is a story over month old
1t may have been in both of the
'.Sawdust Twins" but if so we missed
It.
On the night of May and, 1913.
two colored boys, Clayton Rogers,
aged IL. and Ye,lie Burris. aged a.
broke INTO the luckley shoe shop
and stole something near $500 in
cash, pairs Of rubber heels and one
par Of shoes They were arrested
the next day bv City Marshal Sullens,
and had their preliminary trial before
Squire Clifton, charged with burglary
and larceny. Prosecuting Attorney
Agcc, after studying the matter over.
decided it wOIld be better for the
boys and cheaper for the county to
allow them 10 plead guilty to larceny,
put on a stift fine. they to pay the
costs IN the case, and have Judge
Slate grant them parole. This was
done, t Ch fined 500 and costs.
Mr.. Burris paid the costs for his boy,
and It is expected that parole will
be granted by Judge Slate. and Les
lie given a chance to redeem himself.
And then the scene changes. Mr..
Rogers made arrangements TO pay the
fine for his boy, when a county Of
fetal learned OF it, and advised Mr.
Rogers not to pay the fine, that the
county court would pay it, and Coun-
ty Attorney Agee and County Clerk
Olney had short but heated argu-
ment over the said Olney and the
county court but,ing into business
that did not concern them. (Some
say this was scheme TO try to cor
raj the Colored vote for the coming
election. when some OF the candidates
VIII really need votes, others say il
was scheme TO saddle the costs on
the county and hold up Mr.. Rogers
tor as large sum AS possible, take
it which way you think it righ,.)
Then came the climax when Squire
Clifton issued his commitmen ut tor
Clayton Rogers, who is boarding out
his 800 fine and costs in county Jail.
Does that relieve him of the bur.
slary charger Now what do think
i that?

Missouri The Modest.

The other day the state which lies
just west Of Missouri raised an extra
lond whoop, amid the continuous
clamor which arises from that region
over the fact that its state banks con.
tanned resources to the amount of
soma 2oI million dollars. The same
week the state bank commissioner of
Missouri issued his statement showing
that the state OF Missouri had on de-
post in the state banks and trust
companies considerably over Az mil
lions. And leaving out the cities of
st. Louis, Kansas City and St. Joseph
the state banks and trust companies
still had total of more than ao7 mil.
hons. Yet the Kansas folks make a
howl which reaches from coast to
coast, while Missourians never bat an
eye or say word Missourians are
just naturally more modest than are
the folks in some other states, or else
they have so much more to be proud
of and rejoice over, that they find it
unnecessary to scream over little
things like big bank deposits and the
prosperity which they indicate. 1t
is most admirably, this trait of mod
esty. Yet it would be just as we'll
and perhaps little better if we were
to let some of our noisy neighhors be
modest for spell, while We let the
world krow some of the many good
things about Missouri. There's no.
thing to be gained by hiding our light
under bushel, especially when the
light made by our bank receipts re-
semble headlight and makes those
of our neiShbors' like a lantern.
