Corn Show at Interstate Fair.

The enormity of the corn crop Of
the United States is no more sur
prising than the supported statement
of corn growers that the Inland EN-
pire is coming into prominence as a
corn section. There is a much larger
acreage in corn this year in this sec
ton than ever before, and the grow
ers are reporting excellent condi-
tions and promise of a fine crop.
While corn has been successfully
raised for several years in the North
west, it has only recently been given
the prominence it deserves, and this
year it is to be featured in the grain
department of the Spokane Interstate
Fair and Live Stock show during the
week of September 10, and the win
ming exhibits will be taken free to
the First National Corn show at st.
Paul, December l to 81.
The fair management has provided
a large number of prizes for corn,
including two for the best general
displays of SIS and $40, respectively,
and also for the best bushel, the
best 10 ears of several varieties, the
best single ear and a sweepstake for
the best 10 ears shown. the sweep
stake carrying a medal. Prizes are
also offered for the stalks of corn
with roots and ears attached, and
also for sweet corn and pop corn.

MINING NEWS

The power and compressor plants.
timber framing S h e S and boiler
house at the Rex mine, better known
as the Sixteen-to-One, were COM
pletely destroyed by fire last week.
The loss is about $4,000, with no
insurance.
All previous earning records of
mining companies operating in the
Occur d'Alenes have been eclipsed by
the Interstate-Callahan company
which owns and operates the Con-
solidated Interstate Callahan mines.
in the Nine Mile district. The net
profit for the quarter ended June 30,
1915, was $1,126,114, according to the
report of John A. Percival, secretary
treasurer.
The feature of the last week in the
mining world was the unexpected
break in metal prices. Copper fell
from 1Sc to 16% cents a pound, lead
from to 4.45 cents a pound, silver
from 475s to 47ss cents an ounce and
spelter from IA to 10 cents a pound.
That there really is no cause for a
serious decline in mining issues be-
cause of the metal situation is con-
coded by men closely in touch with
conditions.
Eugene r. Day, managing owner of
the Hercules mine, and James Muir
ply, superintendent of the property,
who have been in New York for
some time comforting with officials
of the American Smelling & Refining
company relative to a renewal of the
Hercules ore smelling contract, it is
said, returned to Wallace, Idaho, last
week, but so far as can be learned
there is no change in the situation
Recent reports that compromise
had been effected, and that a new
contract, based on a freight and
treatment rate of SIG the ton and a
settlement of 90 per cent of the New
York price for 90 per cent of the
lead of the Hercules ore, had been
agreed upon, generally are discred
tied, and the belief still prevails that
the Hercules and allied interests will
convert the Northport smelter into q
lead treating plant. Reports received
from Wallace state that men had
been sent to Northport to begin pre-
liminary work at the smelter, an6
that actual reconstruction of the
plant would begin soon.

Allies Need Balkan Aid.

London. Aug. 25.-Optimistic re-
ports concerning operations on the
Gallipoli peninsula have been in circu-
lation for the last few days, and proph-
estes are freely made that few weeks
will see the closing act of the allies
on the most difficult task in the near
east. In fact, it is felt here now that
so far as the Dardanelles are concern
ed it is a matter of Indifference to the
allies whether the Balkan states lend
a hand. Their assistance is wanted,
however, against Austria and also to
shorten Turkish resistance if the
straits are opened.

THIEVES ROB MAIL POUCH.
Get $500 From Letters and Leave Trail
of Mail in Street.

Butte, Mont, Aug. 25.-Thieves on
Tuesday night stole registered mail
pouch, presumably from the mail wag-
on which was taking it from the
Northern Pacific depot to the post
office, and, after rifling it of its con-
tents, as they fled from the scene they
threw the pouch away. The bandits
had secreted themselves in the alley,
where they awaited the passing of the
mail wagon. The affair is not only
one of the boldest, but one of the most
mysterious robberies known to the au-
thorities. The thieves secured about
$500. Letter after letter was torn
open and, after the currency was alb
stracted, the letters were thrown on
the street.

WILSON HAS HIS DOUBTS
AS to Conditions in Recent Sinking OF
the Arabic.


Washington.-Reasonable doubt as
to conditions surrounding the sinking
of the White Star liner Arabic has
determined the Washington govern
ment to proceed with elaboration in
it's purpose to fix responsibility for
the loss of at least two American lives
and the jeopardizing of a score of
others.
Therefore, Germany will be give.4 an
opportunity to explain this last sea
tragedy, and, if possible, to show
whether the conditions justified the
German submarine commander in
sinking the liner in apparent disre-
gard of the solemn protest of the Uni
ted States government against the de-
struction of merchant vessels bearing
American citizens without proper
warning and opportunity for succor.

st. Louis.-Eleven bodies of victims
of the flood that swept a narrow sec

for most of the destruction Of property

GERMANYNOWASKS
U.S.FOR A HEARING
DENIES INTENT TO KILL ANY
AMERICANS ON THE STEAM
SHIP ARABIC.
SENDS SYMPATHY OF PEOPLE
ReIaxes-StiI Continue to Gather
Evidence-Await Official Report
Before Further Action

Washington, Aug. 24.-Count Won
Bernstorff, the German ambassador,
communicated to the state department
today instructions from his govern
ment expressing regret and sympathy
if Americans lost their lives in the
sinking of the liner Arabic, and ask
ing that the United States delay TAX
ing a definite stand in relation to the
affair until Germany could be heard
from.
Tension Is Relaxed.
This was the first word from an Of
fetal German source concerning the
Arabic, on which two Americans per-
ished. It's receipt was followed by an
evident relaxation of the tension
which had been growing here as days
passed with no indication of desire
on Germany's part to disclaim an in
tention of committing an act "deliber-
ately unfriendly" toward the United
States. No attempt was made either
at the state department or the White
House to interpret the ambassador
communication. Officials merely said
that the American government would
await the German explanation of the
action of the submarine commander
in sinking the liner.
Count Won Bernstein telegraphed the
state department from New York the
text of his instructions from Berlin

Mrs. Raymond Robins. president. and

National Women's Trade Union League
of America have issued call for the
fourth biennial convention to be held

meeting the call says:
~The calamitous effects of the terrible
European war are being felt in more
or less degree in every civilized country.
The United States is already suffering
through the dislocation of industry fol-
lowing upon the partial suspension of
the world markets. The problem OF un-
employment is flinging us a sterner chal-
lenge and this condition of workers idle
brings into bold outline the effects of
morganixed women in industry. The
danger of women being used as under
bidders in an increasing number of
trades must be squarcly faced. There
is only one woman among the hundreds
OF thousands forced to earn a living by
grim economic pressure who win refuse
to take the place Of man for lower
wages This is the organized woman,
who recognizes the fundamental neces-
sitv of standing with men in the de-
mand for equal pay for equal work"
