The Prospector

While the mining page daily de-
votes columns to the work of men in
charge of underground development
or above ground construction as we'll
as to the difficulties and successes of
financiers at the Broad Street end of
the game, no one ever seems to think
of the poor devil who made all The
mining stock quotations possible. The
prospector who methodically sharp
ems stick and jabs it into the rump
of the little burro thereby starts the
curb market later.
Just coal-oil can full of drinking
water on one side of the pack, slab
of sowbelly and bag of beans on
the other; second patient beast
loaded with pick and drills and few
sticks of dynamite. A man without
razor but with tireless legs and with
eyes that ever rove from path to dis
tant monntaln-these gre the essen
tials for the finding ofA Cananea or
a Tonopah, says an exchange. Its
no job for men who love their stom-
achs or manicured finger nails. Days,
months, sometimes years, pass before
the prospector looks fresh egg in
the face. A glass of milk or a bit of
fruit become mere "reminiscences of
lost paradise.
With the sun. that sends little riv-
ulets down every canyon while the
white blanket on the hills grow
smaller day by day, the prospector
desire for real money" grows warm
er. OF course he chafes, too, for the
freedom from all bosses which his
real vocation brings, and to many of
these solitary trampers through the
virgin hills the very lonliness of their
task is one of its greatest joys. Yet
deeper than all other feelings in his
breast is the QeSlre LOT Jne unlOlu
millions which he knows awaits him
ouly few miles further or few feet
deeper.
Sometimes at sixty or even eighty
years of age, such man trots gaily
through the sands, over the rocks,
from hill to hill, always hoping for
the big strike. The grub box may
run low and the water give out, he'll
curse little now and then, yet his
heart never really wearies of the
quest for lucky ledge. 1t is this
spirit of undying cheer under any
circumstances which makes the pros
pector; if we had a little more of it
in the cities there would be less
meanness, sullenness and discomfort
in the world Happiness is largely a
point of view Take that of the

Interesting to Farmers.

Since the new tariff placed corn on
the free list more than 100000 BUSH
els have been imported. Over 1,000,-
900 bushels came In two or three days
last week. Much more will follow
The New York Journal of Commerce
says that 15 vessels are bringing corn
to the United States from Argentina,
or are loading cargoes of that grain
in Argentine ports for shipment to
this country.
1t would puzzle city people to point
out changes to lower cost of living
which have resulted from these large
importations Of corn. 1t will puzzle
many Democratic congressman much
more, next fall, to show their farmer
constituents how such wholesale use
of South American corn in the United
States is going to help agriculture in
this country. Farming districts will
be emphatically Of the Missouri turn
of mind when 1t comes to the extern
sive encroachment Of foreign grain
and otherf farm products upon the
home markets hitherto enjoyed almost
exclusively by American producers.

HALE AND HEARTY AT 1O4
John Durant, Sailor Boy Of Ninety
Years Ago, Celebrates His
Birthday.

London.-John Durant entered the
British navy years ago. He was four
teen then, but he is still enjoying life
at Weybridge, where he entered upon
his one hundred and fifth year.
During the winter he spends most
of the time in his bedroom, but. in the
summer he walks abroad for consid-
erable distances. He Is a very hearty
eater and smokes three ounces OF to-
bacco regularly every week. Special
fare was provided for his delectation
to mark the great occasion Of his one
hundred and fourth birthday.
When the news came that Franklin
was lost in the Arctic circle In 1885
Durant volunteered for the search ex-
pedition, but he did not sail on the IL
fated Terror; he withdrew and went
to the West Indies instead. In 1S42
he entered the service of the South
Metropolitan Gas company as barge
man, and after 40 years OF work re-
tired on a pension, which he has now
enjoyed for 80 years.

Blots on Administration.

Three blots upon President Wilson's
administration there undeniably are.
The first was his approval OF the sun
dry civil bill with its rider exempting
labor unions from the application of
the Sherman antitrust law. True,
President Wilson apologized for this
and asserted that he had other means
Of enforcing the law. but the country.
which had come to rely upon his firm
ness Of character, was disappointed
Then came his approval Of the urg-
ent deficiency bill. with its blow at the
civil service, and later his approval
of the Hetch Hetchy grab, which
those interested in preserving the nat
ural beauties of the nation to all its
people insist was totally )indefensible.

investigating State Plumbers.

James G.. Finley of the United
States department of justice arrived
in Saginaw from Chicago aud secur-
ing the records of a former secretary
of the Master Plumbers association,
left for a trip around the state on
an investigating tour of plumbing con-
ditions.
Although Mr.. Finley would not talk
in detail, 1t was understood that he
was making an effort to ascertain II
the Master Plumbers associations In
Michigan were branches of the ma
tional organization.
The cause of his trip here was oc-
casioned by the refusal of whole
sale concern In Chicago to honor an
order Of a plumber outside the asso-
citation. ~
It is said an order was placed two
weeks ago with the Chicago firm and
II was returned untitled.
According to the records which the
federal officer secured, the Master
Plumbers association carried on a
system whereby plumbing contracts
of any magnitude were allotted ac-
cording to the dictates of the asso-
citation. 1t was alleged that when n
contract was awarded an additional
percentage was added to the bid for
the association.
There was long list of jobs here.
according to the records, In which tho
association shared In the proceeds, as

WESTERN HORSES
SPREAD DISEASE
STATE LIVE sTock COMMISSION
Is INVESTIGATING CON-
DITIoNs.
FARMER SHOULD PRODUCE
Want q Law Whereby Animals Carry
Inc q Brand Cannot Be Admitted
Into Michigan Unless
Examined.

Lansing.-Owing to outbreaks OF
glanders among horses in Arenac and
Mescoda counties, the state Sanitary
livestock commission and DR.. G.. A.
Dunphy, state veterinarian, are making
an investigation and getting facts to-
gether to ask the next legislature to
pass bill whereby the western horse
carrying brand cannot be admitted to
this state unless he has undergone the
Mallein test for glanders. 80 days
prior to his shipment into this state.
The proposed legislation Is for the
purpose of protecting Michigan horses
as well as residents of the state. as
glanders Is a disease communicable
to people.
In Mecosta county the commission
recently ordered six animals affected
with the disease, to be killed and
the owners received no compensation
for their losses, there being no pro-
vision made for reimbursement The
Michigan live stock commission would
1egislate particularly against the
branded horse from Montana, as In
vestigations Of the commission has
shown that the disease now appear
ing in Michigan is brought to this
state from the western ranges. The
Mecosta case developed from two
western horses brought to the county
some time ago.
It is claimed by the commission
that the western horses have been
bred from animals that were cast on
as no longer fit for other than breed
ing purposes and that these animals,
coming from the larger cities In the
central West. have produced, In many
instances, diseased progeny. The
commission also claims that the Mich
igan farmer should produce his own
horses and that he should not import
the animals he does at cost OF sew
eral millions of dollars each year. The
commission claims that Importation
means disease generally and that
farmers, who now pay $500 for draft
team, can raise horses at a cost OF
but $500 II they would breed more
OF them. The proposed Michigan leg
islation will be almost similar to the
Minnesota law which bars the brand
ed horse specifically If it has not un-
dergone the Mellein test for glanders
and is unaccompanied by clean bill
of health. There Is no way to keep
the western horse or any other dis
eased horse from being imported into
this state.

LESS FOREIGN TRADE
Democratic Policy Already Has
Proved Harmful.
Flsurss show That New TariT 10 Up

vs,opmsnt Of the Commerce
os the Country.

Advocates Of low tariff rates have
always argued that high duties OBJ
structed foreign commerce In both d.
recdons. They have oontended that
in order to build up export business
It was necessary TO import merchanr
disc literally. MAKE It easy for for
eigners to sell their products In the
United States and they will buy more
In America" has been one Of their
stock pleas for a low tariff.
II seems that the new tariff Is not
working that way. II Is not lifting
exports of American merchandise
above the figures for last year. In
January imports fell about $8,600.000
below the record for the correspond
ing month a year ago, fact to which
the tariff-scalers might point as evil
dence that they had not let down the
bars too far II 1t were not for the fact
that In the same month the exports
of merchandise from the United
States fell about $23 900 below the
figures for January, 1913.
In rather dull times the natural
tendency Of the foreign trade of the
United States is toward a growing ex-
cess OF exports over imports. More
effort than usual Is made to find mar
kets abroad for American products
and economy In the use of foreign
luxuries cuts down purchases in other
countries.
When this natural change In foreign
trade Is reversed 1t is very good evil
dence that the tariff Is upsetting the
sound and normal development Of the
commerce of the country. There is
nothing in the January statistics of
the foreign trade Of the United States
to lead the American people to accept
the new tariff as satisfactory and
permanent.
