MEETING Of MES0UlA COPPER STOCK
HOLDERS To RECEIVE BIDS FOR STOCK
REPRESENTATIVE OF NATIONAL SAYS COMPANY WILL NOT
BD-MucA INTEREST


Next Saturday evening In Mullan
tho stockholders In Mssoula Copper
eeive bids for their stock. following
out the plan that was agreed upon
over two weeks ago when the ma ajOr-
ity Of the stock of the company was
taken under option by the Snowstorn
Mining company. There was meet
Ing of the Missoula Copper stock
holders in Mullan last Saturday for
the same purpose. At the same time
there was meeting of the directors
Of the Snowstorm company at Larson.
at which the option taken on the Mis-
soula Copper was ratified, 1t appears
that this option Is merely a guaran-
tee that the Snewstorn will pay 50
cents for Mlssoula Copper stock and
makes the Snowstorm preferred bid
der In the event that there is no high
er offer for the stock
To Give tho National a Chance.
lillt ldllpl ItCtlNtu from MlSSOuld
Copper stockholders who attended
the meeting at Mullan last Saturday
Is to the effect that the Snowstorm
people were ready to submit bid for
the pooled Missoula Copper stock,
when 1t was announced that the Ma
tlonal desired to submit a bid also.
but was not prepared to do 50 on that
day. The stockholders thereupon ad-
Journed until next Saturday evening,
when they profess to believe that bids
will be received from both the Snow
storm and the National.
On the other hand director Of the
National yesterday stated that his
company had no intention Of bidding
for control Of Mlssoula Copper He
pointed out that while his company
had spent several hundred thousand
dollars during the past year opening
up its ore bodies and in erecting
modern mill, the stock Of the COM
pany IS daily quoted at practically the
same as that placed upon Missoula
Even If the National wanted control
of the property. 1t Is not likely 1t
would offer a figure equal to that Of
a mine developed and equipped to
earn dividends.
Snowstorm Differently Situated.
The situation of the Snowstorm Is
quite different from that Of the Ma
tional. In order to increase its ore
reserves the Snowstorm might be ]u..-
titled In Offering a price which under
any other circumstances would be re-
garded as altogether too high and
this perhaps accounts for the SO cents
per share guarantee for the ma ajority
Of Missoula Copper stock. price
which was believed to be prohibitive
to the National or any other concern.
After the positive assertion from
the National company that 1t had no
intention Of bidding, 1t appears likely
that the Snowstorm will be the only
bidder. That its bid must not be less
than 60 cents per share Is certain, but
there Is wide latitude in the mat
ter Of terms Of payment and these
may lead to differences Of opinion he.

the deal is finally consummated.

long as there is no serious congestion
of traffic the chief advantage of a man
over a sign at a street crossing is that
the man can get out of the way of

embodied in a device invented by the

THE FRENCH REVOLUTION IN san
DOMINGO. BY T. Lothrop Stoddard,
Phi. D. Boston: Houghton Miffiin
Company.
In its main features Mr.. Stoddard' S
history of Santo Domingo is a study of
the effect of the French revolution on
the political and economic life of this
the most prosperous and promising of
the colonies of France at the period of
the revolution. It is, in substance, a
study of the attempt of France to i'm
pose the ideals of the revolution upon
a community whose origin and environ
ment and outlook We're fundamentally
different from it's own. This is the
point at which the book takes on sig
nifcance for every sort of imperial
plan and project. The first five chap
ters here review the early history of
Santo Domingo. taking into account its
climate and resources. it's population
of whites mulattoes and negroes, with
the complex institutions that had arisen
around this mixture of races. Beyond
this introduction the book falls into
two parts. The first of these covers
a period of sixteen years, whose begin
ming comedies with the French revolu-
ton. Its close marks the downfall of
white supremacy in the island and the
subordination of the mulattoes to the
negro population. The second part

strues Lincoln as the herald of a sec

in the United States.
THE JUVENILE COURT AND THE
COMMUNITY. BY Thomas D. Eliot,
PHI D. New York: The Macmillan
Company.
This volume gives general review
of the juvenile court for the fifteen
years of it's existence in the United
States 1t makes also, a broadly con-
structive discussion of certain features
of this institution and of measures bear
ing upon it's greater efficiency. The
survey itself covers the rise of this ex-
pertinent, it's growth and its present
status in the minds of those who are
qualified to judge of it's value to the
community. The writer draws from
wide sources of information. Records
from all parts of the country have come
under his inspection. These records
point to three stages in the develop
ment of the institution. The first of
these covers the rise of the juvenile
court out of the social zeal with which
the entire country is at present pos
sessed. The writer points out the haste
with which in many instances these
courts were established, a haste that
took no serious account of either the
near or ultimate purposes of the ex-
pertinent, and that certainly overlook
ed any adequate machinery for carry
ing the experiment to any beneficial is
sue. This situation of a1l-around un-
preparedness led, naturally, to the sec
ond stage of development. that of vol
unteer service wherein lack of training
and unsuitable temperament precipi-
tated d pretty widespread discontent
with the institution, and in many places
brought about distinct disapproval of
it. The author describes the various
ways by which these loose spots have
been tightened up in a genuine desire

ABRAHAM LINCOLN. BY Rose Strun-
Sky. Illustrated. New York: The
Macmillan Company.
At the outset this writer of the life
of Lincoln disclaims the offering of any
new matter in a subject that has al
ready been gone over so painstakingly
by both the sentimental and the scien-
tifc biographer. What Of newness and
worth she does claim for the study
lies in the correction here of the per-
spectives that surround both the man
and the country by the addition of the
amazing half century Of progress that
has gone by since the death of Lin
coin. BY means of this double read
justment the writer presents Lincoln
neither as "a demi-god" on the one
hand, nor on the other as merely a
sentimental figure thrown out against
a political background ON the con-
trary, Lincolns chief importance
springs from the fact that he stood for
stage OF American political history:
that he was it's most complete human
embodiment. and that this stage for
which he stood was the precursor of
our incomparably momentous present.
The writer says: 1T is time that Lin
coins name conjured up a truer pic
ture than that of a tall, gaunt man,
looking out into space, in his hand the
Emancipation Proclamation and at his
feet newly freed and grateful slaves
He is not The Great Liberator' merely,

to rehabilitate this laudable civic meas
ure. He discusses. in addition, coop
Grafton with the. plans of the court by
the community at large, by the police
ace of politics to the best interests of
the court. The book is an admirable
all-around view of the subject. and one
from which those interested may
gather fund of useful information
and suggestion.
SAFEGUARDS FOR CITY YOUTH: At
Work and At Play. BY Louise de
Koven Bowen. New York: The
Macmillan Company.
This book. by the president of the
Juvenile Protective Association of Chi
Icago, gives full and graphic description
of the efforts of the association to
fortify the young men and women. the
boys and girls. of that community
against the multitude of evil influences
that surround them both in thets work
and their play. 1t gives an account
also of the conditions that gave rise to
the association and of the campaign to
lead the city itself to aEf orTanized and
concerted protection OF .<a youth. These
papers discuss the civi, safe harding
of recreation and the legal protection

by Jane Adams points the logical
precedence of civic formative measures
to those that are reformativr in their

association to those of the juvenile
court.

travellers will realize that in America,
as well as in Europe, there are pic
turesque places well worth VISITING

In the Paris salon. AS 1t is, Taos has
just recently been discovered by a
small group of American artists. all
of whom spend their summers there
and some of whom own houses and
live there all the year around In the
lobby of the one little adobe hotel
which the village boasts you can hear
them every day rhapsodizing about the
marvellous combination of unspoiled
primitive life, and varied color, and
brilliant light which they find there.
And they are men of genuine talent,
whose work is winning recognition.
The town lies on a high plateau
walled by mountain ranges, the near
est of which are only three miles away.
They lift from the plain i'll u sheer
to an elevation of nearly $4,000 feet
above sea level. Clear mountain
streams pour from their shadowy can

the Indian and Mexican farmers in

like silver needles they have en-
broidered the foothills with green and
yellow fields of grain and blosSoming &
