ned and built with the idea of sur
prising English theatregoers during
the run of the elaborate spectacle
at the Drury Lane Theatre last year.
That the enterprise of the American
managers was not in vain was amply
shown by receipt records during the
engagement, rising beyond anything
hitherto known even in this historic
playhouse. which has never been riv
allied by any other theatre of the
English metropolis. In fact the brill
liant success of General Wallaees
masterpiece in its thrilling dramatic
form was the beginning of what the
London critics described as 1.-THE
American INVASION 1t was also
the cause of change of attitude to-
ward theatre products of American
ownership, which revulsion of feel
ing has born good fruit for Klaw

For the first time since President

gle dominant issue such as tariff OF
currency reform. to be fought out to
The exclusion of other business.
As a result. the work of the next
few months in national legislative
halls is expected to cover lde
range of subjects. Antitrust leg
islation remains as an important fac
tor in President Wilson's Legislative
program, that must he considered by
congress, but it Will not dispIaae
other important legislation as did
the bills for tariff and currency re-
visions.
nj ,t-ill h-u "a
much OF the work Of senate ard

They are:
Control of trusts and monopolics.

Aside from those general subjects,
congress will take up early in the

Members of both houses have an

mining, is the belief OF the many
mine operators, business men and
the miners There see ms to be a
current of real optimism flowing
through the entire district to the
effect that Iol4 is to be the record
break king year. This feeling per-
vades the atmosphere and augurs
prosperity for the camp. 1t seems
to be he predominant Impression
and belief because the ! eople talk
it, Then there are more inquiries
concerning mining properties
than there has been for a long
time. One promiEe ent mining man
stated that he had recei we'd sever

missioner of Mines, T. Il.
Henehan is sending out letters cal
ing the attention of the mining
people to the action of the govern
ment i'll the proposed withdrawal
of la nds in the public domain
"suspected" of containing radium.
He has entered his protest against
such action and asks the inning
people and associations to join him
He states that if the lands "sus-
pected" of containing radium are
withdrawn they may include all
NJ e d ferou areas of the
state, since 1t is impossible to
argue against suspicion of what
may be radium bearing. He says
that |. if such be Withdrawn one
of the most important industries
of the state will be practically de-
stroyed and that further prospect
ing will be out of question while
many who have invested their
capital will be the losers. He
recommends that the mining men
of each district get together to
protest and to send copy OF
their resolutions to the Secre-
taly Of the Interior, to our United
States Senators and Representa-
tives, to the Governor and to the
Commissi oner of Mines Of this

To maze TINS old mouth water

and pork was III the stv.
And all the live stock On the earth
instead OF in the sky.
When one could eat aud cat ana

A knowing all the time that thir-

good big T-bone steak,
With all the trlmmm' on the side
and then some PIE and cake.

With crackers, salt and copper and
a little Irish stew.
