An Appreciation.

/ know a most unusual girl.
Her manners aren't fancy.
Her hair sets in a wavy curl.
Her name is only Nancy.
Her wishes do not boldly roam,
Like those of her big brother.
She really likes to stay at home
And try to help her mother.
'Tis true, she hasn't made a hit
By being smart or funny.
But smiles across her features fit
Like glints of April sunny,
And so pen this simple "pome,"
Because, somehow or other,
l like that girl who stays at home
And tries to help her mother.

tin and nickel only seem to present a
hopeless outlook; and as a matter of
fact thewhoIe world is poor in tin.
Especially is this scarcity felt in GER
tain of the countries now at war,
where the shortage due to cessation
Of imports is intensified by the in
creased use of tin in canning army
supplies. But we ear look TO South
America for tin ore and make its inn
portation a foundation for profitable
commerce with Bolivia. For nitrate
we can continue to rely upon Chile,
but we should develop our independ-
enee in respect to this mineral by the
manufactures of nitrates from atmos-
pheric nitrogen. Opportunities for
cheap hydroelectric development will
invite capital as soon as Congress will
l~egislate. For potash the outlook is
less certain; thus far only one potash
rich brine has been found-that of the
Searles Lake deposits, in California
where potash occurs in even greater
quantity han that at first estimated
by the Geological Survey, but the
problem of it's commercial extraction
has not yet been fully solved by the
chemical engineer.
"The deficiencies of the second
class, like manganese and platinum,
are stimulating to the geologist and
the engineer, the one to discover, the
other to develop. The recent find in
southern Nevada of rich platinum
bearing gold ore constitutes a notable
addition to the world s supply of this
too rare metal.
"The third class of minerals, those
which it has paid better to buy from
foreign producers, probably furnishes
the largest incentive for the effort TO
secure meteorological independence.
Here especially. can the geologist and
the engineer cooperate. Magnesite,
mica and graphite, for example, are
common minerals, of which arge de-
posits have been found in this country,
yet up to the present time they have
been large items of import from Aus
tria, Canada and India.
Gas an encouraging instance of
neurological independence, you may
recall that only about ten eyars ago
this country imported its sulphur from
| Sicily, whereas now, by reason of the
work of one engineer, the United
| States leads the world in the mining
of sulphur. Can not further success be
expected in the utilization of mineral
resources hitherto practically nm

"'The substitution of certain miner
ais of domestic origin for those bought

have of industrial superiority and to
copy for a while the industrial spirit
of Germany, which sy~stematized pro-
cesses and standardized products until
they won markets in every continent

yesterday from his homo city, Londoni

Last Sunday, e continued. e thought
the divine service on board might RET
store is peace of mind, so he went to
the services, leavin' the little elephant
taking a nap and lookin' sweet enough
to kiss.
But as soon as Austyn got to divine
worship there was a terrible mQanin
from the hold, which got 81 loud that
officers of the boa awsked him to
please get back down to that blighted
beast and stay with i'm till the voyage
ended.
Austyn went down to the elephant
and found i'm weepin' real tears. II
was feelin' sorry for the poor little
animal, when it sucked up a trunk OF
water from a bucket and blew 1t in
lis face. e was glad then 1t was only
a baby elephant.

LITTLE CHANGE IN
THE WOOL MARKET

Since the last issue of this paper
there has been but little change in the
wool market, says the Salt lake Ma
tional Wool Grower. In fact, there has
been no wool market, for there is but
little wool left in the hands of dealers.
Some contracting has been done at
good prices, but most of this was done
in the early part of the month, and
for the last few days we know of little
selling. Twenty-Five cents is still Of
fered in most sections of the country,
with but few growers. disposed to sell.
The Austins of Salt Lake City have
sold their large clip at 20 cents. This
clip is mostly of crossbred, but con
tains some fine wool.
Around Dillon, Montana, a few clips
have been sold at 25 cents, and one is
reported sold at 26@ cents.
At Cokeville, Wyoming, a very light
clip of coarse wool has been sold at
% cents.
At Boise. Idaho, two large clips of
crossbred have sold at 25 cents.
In Arizona, 25 cents has been the
prevailing price, but at least one clip
has been sold at 27E cents Reports
oe 30-cent sales from that section have
reached us, but we have been unable
to confirm them. Most of the Arizona
woods have gone forward on consign-
ment. S. B. Curtis of western Wyo-
ming has sold a clip of half-blood at
% cents.
X. N. Stanfeld, Pendleton, Oregon
advises us he has sold a clip of fat
sheep wool for % cents. The Wool
Livestock company, Spencer, Idaho,
have been offered 26 cents for their
clip; % cents has been offered for a
clip of Utah coarse wool. Late last
week two clips of Western Utah wool
sold at around % cents. Many offers
of 25 cents have been made, but above
we give the only sales we know of up
to this date, March 10.
Naturally we have had many re-
quests from wool growers asking
whether or not to sell at % cents. We
certainly must refuse to give advice
of this nature. The wool grower
knows his financial condition better
than anyone else can know, and our
advice is that he use his own Judgment
in determining the right moment at
which to sell.

Representative Robert n. Page. of
North Carolina, probably will have
charge of the District appropriation
bills in the present Congress. Chair
man Fitzgerald. of the appropriations
committee. yesterday practically COM
pleted the assignments to subcommit-
tees, and on the latest list Representa-
tive Page is carried as chairman of
the District subcommittee. Mr.. Page
was in charge of the District appro-
priation bills in the last Congress.
Representative Sisson. of Mississip-
ri. who was the second Democrat on
the District subcommittee last Con-
gress, has been assigned elsewhere at
his own request. Representative Nc
Andrews, of Illinois, will be on the
Democratic side of the District sub
committee. and Representative Davis.
Of Minnesota. probably will be the
ranking Republican member. The
complete list of assignments will be
given out today by Chairman Fitz-
gerald.
Although his name Is attached to
the rider which for two years has
been offered to repeal the half-and-
half provision in the District appro-
priation law. Mr.. Page is literally in
clined with respect of the District and
his treatment of District estimates has

regarded as the living, walking re-

gard or courteous treatment from Dis
trict interests.
The first meeting of the House Dis
trict committee has been called for

There is a quaint purport TO the text of
the song: and II were indiscreet to con-
fess point blank its subtle meaning. The
reader must guess, or hear the song for
himself, in the same manner that a
novel should be read in its entirety. Suf
flee TO say, that the singer admirably
solved the problem
The lyrics OF the ballad happen to be
written by a Washingtonan. a we'll
liked priest. Frances +. Donnelly, s. j..
OF Gonzaga College. Here Is Father
Donnelly's letter to the composer Of the
song:
Dear Mrs. Gartlan: ] think you have
succeeded masterfully in catching the
spirit of the song and in making the
words acquire new force by your fine
setting. No one now will fail to know
what an Irishman means by 'Machree.
Your musical setting is as Gaelic as
'Machree' itself"
Mr.. Mac Farlane was necessitated to re-
peat the ballad last evening to much
acknowledgment. He was admirably ac-
companied at the piano by Mr.. Theo. r.
Morse. the well-known Metropolitan com
poser.
