Scrupulous Regards of the Rights O.:
Property Carried to Really Re-
markabIe Degree.

An interesting example Of painstak-
ing honesty in the distant North is
given in "a Summer and Winter on
Hudson's Bay" by Mr.. c. K. Leith and
Mr.. A. T. Leith. When the authors
geological expedition was wrecked in
terrific storm at Whale river, nearly
hundred miles from the nearest
source of food supply, it was necessary
for them to abandon a large part of
their outfit. Nearly fifteen months
later they received letter from the
Hudson's Bay house in London, an
nouncing that a case of goods for them
had been forwarded by freight, and in
closing bill for three shillings and
sixpence.
In due time they got the box packed
exactly as they had left it after the
wreck. Besides some very valuable
specimens, it contained two water
soaked cameras, some dip needles,
compasses, geological hammers, maps
and geological reports, pencils, one
glass bottle Of drawing ink, and so
forth. This was the itinerary of the
box
Propped on poles to escape the raw
ages of foxes, it had remained until
the following winter, when Eskimos,
passing on their winter hunt, took the
box along on toboggan and returned
with 1t in the spring to the post at
Great Whale river When Hudson's
bay opened in the summer, the box
went out on the posts sailboat on the
annual trip to the central supply de-
ment of the Hudsons Bay company on
Charlton island, some four hundred
miles distant. On the arrival of the
Hudson's Bay company's steamer Dis
covery from London, the box was put
on board, and carried to London. 1t
reached Mr.. Leith in Madison, Wis,
in January, 1911, after travelling $500
miles in at least five different kinds of
conveyances, at cost of S1.20.
On another occasion, pocketbook
containing 20 cents was dropped on
portage, picked up, carried 200 miles,
and returned. Where else, asks Mr..
Leith, would such a thing be possible?

The OmeIette SouffIe.

There is a vast distinction between
distribution for the sake of increasing
the circulation figures and distribution
for the sake of increasing the number
Of advertising responses
There is difference between cir
culation which strikes the same reader
several times in the same day and the
circulation which does not repeat the
individual. There is difference be-
tween circulation which Is concen-
trated into an area from which every
reader can be expected to come to
your establishment, if you can interest
him, and circulation that spreads
over half dozen states and shows it's
greatest volume in territory so far
from your establishment that you can't
get buyer out of ten thousand read
ers.
You've got to weigh and measure all
these things when you weigh and
measure circulation figures. 1t isn't
the number of copies printed, but the
number Of copies soId-not the num-
Der Of papers distributed, but the
number Of papers distributed in re-
sponsive territory-not the number Of
readers reached, but the number of
readers who have the price to buy
what you want to seII-that determine
the value Of circulation to you.
You can take single egg and whip
1t into an omelette souffle which
seems to be whole pateful, but the
extra bulk is just hot air and sugar
the change in form has not increased
the amount of egg substance and it's
the substance in circulation, just as in
the nutrition in the egg, that counts.

FEWER ACCIDENTS IN MINES
SINCE MOVEMENT HAS BEEN
STARTED
Nevada's S Low Rate
Has Only 25 Men Killed In Mines
In The Last
Year

The safety-first movement, which ia
being urged throughout the mining in
dustry by the United States bureau of
mines, is making itself felt in the
metal mines of the country in a de-
creasing death rate among the miners
The bureau has issued It's report for
the year 1913. showing $50 men kill
ed among 193.0SS employed, death
rate per 1000 employed of 3.54. This
compares with the death rate of 3.91
for the year 1912 and 4.19 for the
year 1911. AS indicating the progress
that is being made, the bureau makes
the statement that, If the 1911 death
rate had prevailed in 1918, the number
killed would have been 500 instead of
6S3. This means saving of 126 lives
for the year.
A number of states show a slight
increase in death rates, but a major
tty of the principal mining state show
a marked decrease" says Albert H.
Fay. the bureau engineer who COM
piled the statistics. "The important
mining states showing a continuous
reduction of fatality rates during 1911
1912 and 1912. are Idaho, Michigan,
Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, South
Dakota and Utah, representing, in
1913, 38 per cent OF the mining indus
try.
This gradual reduction is to be ac-
counted for largely by the introduc-
|, ton of safety appliances, better super
vision and more strict enforcement
of rules and regulations of the min
ing companies, and closer observ-
ance of the state laws. Practically
all of the larger companies, and many
of the smaller ones, have done much
in safeguarding their employees. They
have inaugurated the safety first move
ment with the results have Just
mentioned. By first aid treatment
many slight injuries have been car
ed for, pain relieved, and cure ef-
fected in short time, so that many
of these injuries have been of short
duration, and kept out of the serious
injury or fatality class"
In the number of fatalities, Arizona
leads the list with So; Michigan fol-
lows with 90; Montana with "a; Min
nesota, So; California 81; Colorado,
