Friendliness VS.. Friction at the Bur-

the splendid results accomplished by

The one element that modern busi-

formulas and stereotyped rules of eff
cheney is the human. 1t deties mathe-

standards which work so smoothly on
the inanimate equipment of big bus

back in 1899 by the dark and stormy
times of industrial war in the Occur
d'Alenes. After the smoke of that con-
flict cleared, the officers Of the Bunker
Hill & Sullivan Mining and Concen-
trating company settled down to some
hard thinking, and, as we all know, 3
little thinking goes farther than a
great deal of fighting. In this case
the thinking resulted in full recogni-
tiOn of the human element. The men
were encouraged to organize a club OF

CHANGE IN GAME LAW.
Suggested That Each County Collect
and Retain License Money.
(pnc1tpll TrihunOl

| Mackay Miner presents an idea on
game matters that is not at all bad,
along the line of devoting the revenues
of a county to county game purposes.
1t says:
"Why not make the sheriff of each
county the chief game warden Of the
county, with every constable and every
forest ranger a deputy and do away
entirely with all the paid state deput-
les? Let each county have it's own IL
cense money. If man desires to hunt
in Custer county let him buy Custer
county license and pay the county for
it. The fish and game Is resource of
this county, just as the grassy hills
upon which the stock Craze are re-
sources of the county. 1t is a poor
sport who would not buy license for
two or three counties if he had two or
three favorite camping grounds In as
many counties"
While the Miner editor is little
rusty on the game law, inasmuch as
county and forestry officers already
are deputies under the existing law. he
has advanced a good idea in that H."
cense money collected by county
might properly belong to it. Such 2
plan is Numerically opposed to a plar
or two voiced in Boise one Of which
would iuggIe the game fund and MAKE
it part of a general fund with which II
could possibly have no connection.
But let us have local option in game
matters as well as booze
The game department has been thu
football of politics and crankisms ever
since it was created, and is likely t.
continue as such in the event sports
men do not take a hand to prevent the
law from becoming an insipid play
thing of sheep and cattle interests.
There is merit in the Miners con-
tention that a county should receive
the funds for licenses taken out in
such county 1t means, in short, If q
county is favored as the haunt OF
game, that such county is subject to
greater expense for policing the game
area. The plan would be opposed by
some Of the counties that have less
game and more candidates for game
warden, as the argument would be
advanced that such plan would re-
suit in building up the game counties
of the state Perhaps it would and II
might be a good process, at that. II
one area is so situated as to be at
tractive to the sportsmen it is not q
bad plan to improve and protect that
AREA.
Under the present system, there Is
concerted effort on the part OF the
= predatory interests to shut the sports
men out of every section.
= The process certainly needs revision

Studies Aluminium When Boy.

When Dr.. Hall was boy in Thomp'
son, Ohio, the town of his birth, he
stumbled on an old chemistry book
which his father had used in Oberlir
college, He read a chapter on alumni
UNI which fascinated him. Aluminium
was then worth about $25 a pound
Young Hall took the classical course al
Oberlin, but he was deeply interested
in chemistry, and soon became en-
crossed in an attempt to make alum
mum by cheaper process,
Aluminium was first made in 1927 by
Prof Woehler of the University OF
Gottingen but it was not produced tc
any extent until 1855, Il cost $50 Q
pound then.
1t was in 1885 that DR.. Halls
thoughts turned to electrolysis as 9
means of obtaining aluminium from al
umina, an earth. He sought a suitable
anhydrous solvent for alumina, opera
tive at practicable temperature which
would bring the alumina into fluic
condition, in which 1t would yield tc
the electric current. 1t was not unit
February 10, 1886, that he discovered
the secret. He dissolved cryolite in
the fluid alumina and applied the cleo.
trio current to the solution. He OBJ
lained aluminium and by this direct
process of making it he revolutionizeC
the industry and made it possible tC
furnish the metal as a substitute fol

Through the invention of this pro-
cess by boy of % years the price OF
aluminium has now dropped to IS cents
Ia pound. Many great men, including
such world renowned chemists as
Woeher, Ross and Deville, who hat
spent half century in the hope o.
cheapening aluminium, had passed
what young Hall found.
DR. Hall started to produce the meta
in his own factory at Kensington, nea
Pittsburg, producing so pounds a da!
