to ourselves a share of the wealth
that, once removed. will never return
We do not believe in waste or
extravaganza in municipal manage
ment or anywhere else, but we shall
hold that the village of Hibbiag should
collect every year the one and one
half million dollars due it from the
mining companies"
And on March q the same paper
charged the city councils of the iron
range with being "remlss in their duty
to the people of these communities be-
cause they do not levy the full amount
allowed by law and spend it every
year, whether 1t be extravaganza or
not. We owe it to ourselves to collect
every cent available from the taxation
of these mines and use 1t to beautify
our towns because it belongs to us
Hibhing surely receives no thanks for
handing over a million dollars a yea
of its own money to eastern mine own
ers, and we will be just as well treated
if we collect and spend all that is due
us"
Contention of Companies.
The mining companies in reply
maintained that the ore deposits will
not be exhausted for long time to
come and such feverish taxation is
therefore unnecessary; that IL 1t We're
true that the ore would soon be ex-
hausted, that fact in itself would be
the best kind of reason why the
towns should not expend such vast
sums in public improvements because
as soon as the mines were closed most
of the population would leave the viii
lagos and there would be no one to
enjoy the extensive public improve
ments provided.

The United States Geological Survey has issued small pam phlet containing 203 water analyses which were made in the chemical laboratory of the Survey. Most of these analyses have already been published, but many of the origin al reports are out of print, and the data are therefore obtainable with
 difficulty. A number of the water analyses are commonplace in char Acter, but some are most unusual, if not unique. The Devils Inkpot, for example, in the Yellowstone National Park, is essentially so- lution of ammonium sulphate; the

THE JOY OF FALSE WITNESS


 It is human nature always to be lieve the worst, to approach cheer fuI news with indifference, say suspicion and incredulity. John Jones' fall from grace sets the tong. ues wagging for blocks around, but his return to the fold meets with bored silence.
 This human trait was emphasiz. ed in the public's attitude toward the Panama-California Exposition at San Diego. Almost from the day this City of the Hidalgos open ed it's gates, reports of its impend- ing closing chased one another across the continent. Time after time the date of it's decease was de- finitely fixed by wide-eyed, whisp- ering gossip, and detailed figures, shrinking in transmission, were passed around to prove that this Exposition was breathing it's las, stertorous gasps. Thus at meet ing of the Chicago Quoin Club it was asserted as an actual fact that the daily attendance had averaged only 800 and that financial diff faculties would within ten days drown the enterprise.
 It is a matter of official record that the smallest number of daily paid admissions, during the heav- jest rainfall in years, did not drop below 1900. Since the opening, the average daily attendance has been going up constantly. Since the low transcontinental rates be- came effective March 1, two thou sand Eastern visitors day have been arriving in San Diego and every weeks attendance at the Ex- position showed an increase over the proceeding Week.
 It is here stated as as official fact that the Exposition is not only or a self-supporting basis, but that the management accumulated a surplus during March, a feat unique in exposition history. Financially, artistically and from the standpoint of attendance, San Diego's Exposition, with the best business months still to come, is an unqualified success.-From May Sunset.

CAPTIVATING AND THRILLING

Last Tuesday nights Special, "Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch" proved remarkable feature. It combined the charming, the ludi- crous and the thrilling in a way that captivated and thrilled the audience. The charm was drawn from the character of Lovey Mary and from Mrs. Wiggs; the humor was supplied by Mrs. Wiggs and her neighbors; and the thrills were gained thru the experiences of Levey Mary.
 One thing exceptional in the manner of producing the play was the absence of division into acts. There was only one act from be- ginning to end. One reel was run out stopping wherever chance brought the end and another was quickly started taking up the plot wherever it happened to have been stopped before. This rushed the production somewhat, as was need. ed since it was extra long. and did not give the audience full breath ing spell from beginning to end. Once the play was in full swing the tension did not let, up for scarcely moment until the last curtain went down.
 The variety of these Tuesday night Specials is a wonder. As yet it cannot be said that any two of them have been similar.

Washington D. C., Apr. 19, 1915 That the Tide of Prosperity is rap idly rising all over the country can no longer be doubted. One day last week more than one mi llion two hundred thousand shares of stock were sold on the New York Exchange. This is the largest re- cord of transaction for any one day since 1910. While the New York Stock exchange is not the creator of prosperity, it is nevertheless a most reliable barometer or indi- cator, and it's transactions when large indicate fourishing, indus trial and financial conditions.
