on Saturday afternoon. That's the
difference between New York and

have been stretching out your job to

were one of our 19 golfers, or the
roads were good enough to let you
drive over to the baseball game at
Paynesville.
Leisure in New York means pleas
ure, excitement and seven dozen kinds
of interest. But for many and many
a long year in hundreds of Home
burg homes leisure has meant waiting
for mealtime-and not much OF any

SPECULATION RESPONSIBLE
FOR HIGH METAL PRICES

Speculation and not shortage of sup
ply is responsible for the increase in
the prices of copper and other metals,
according to speakers yesterday before
the Institute of Metals, which is meet
ing at Atlantic City, n. j., in connee-
tion with the annual convention of the
American Fonndrymen S association.
Thomas +. Wettstein of New York,
said that while the main supply of cop
per is produced in this country, other
resources will have to be developed to
take the place of the 10000 tons of
Zine which formerly were exported an
nually from Germany. Other speakers
said the price of metals had increased
400 per cent, Notwithstanding that con
sumption had risen only 40 per cent
Ernest V. Pannell, of Toronto, said
that from an electrical standpoint there
need be little fear of a possible ex-
haustion of the copper supply because
aluminium resources will be increased
and the latter metal used.

SENATOR NIXON FATHER OF
fEDFRAL BUILDING BILL

Speaking of the visit of Senator
Pittman to Winnemucea, Monday S
Humboldt Star contains the following
of facts:
Senator Pittman introduced
the bill authorizing the Winnemue-
ca and Fallon public buildings and
has done everything possible to
bring the department to realiza-
tion of their early construction.
But, as is well known, the govern
ment always moves slowly in these
matters, and there is so much red
tape connected with the various
details that four or five years gen
orally elapse between the time of
the passage of the bill authorizing
ii and the completion of a build
ing However, Senator Pittman is
giving his personal attention to
the effort to expedite matters so
that the construction of the Win
nemucea and Fallon buildings will
he commenced at the earliest pos
sible date, and his influence will
no doubt have great effect
Thus far Pittman has had nothing TO
DO with the federal building that is TO
be erected here. The original bill, au-
thorizing the building aud carrying an
for its construction, was
by the late Senator Nixon
and was kept alive by the late Senator
Massey. However, the people of Win
nemueea are in hopes Senator Pittman
will be able to expedite the construe-
tion of the building.
