 ReduStion Of Ore

BUTTE. Jan 16.-That days of the blast furnace are numbered is the prediction Of Anaconda smeltermen. and the future will witness smoke less reduction of ores The develop ment Of the reduction industry eN- periments being conducted by Ana conda experts tend to that end. In the near future all copper ore will be treated by the teaching and oil Notation methods The Anaconda ores carry about 10 pounds of lead to the ton. and it is proposed to save an this by new methods and to recoy- CT also the aluminium and bismuth in the ore, The sulphur will all be util- ized in making acid for the teaching plant and for commercial purposes. The enormous deposits of tailings at the Washoe and Great Falls smelters will be converted into cement, and it is also found to make excellent brick

MILLIONS OF POUNDS
 OF COPPER SEIZED BY
 ENGLAND SINCE JULY
England Buys Much Of Metal Which Her Ships Take
 In Prize Court

Approximately 4S,OOO,OOO lbs. of cop per has been seized in transit to European countries since the outbreak of the war. Of this total England bought 1O,OlI2SO pounds and released 2,464,OOO pounds; the fate Of the re- mainder still hangs in the balance, and has been the subject of much dip lomatc discussion for the past few months.
 When the war broke out there was a considerable tonnage of copper on it's way across the Atlantic much of it bound for German manufacturers through Rotterdam These vessels were seized as they entered th Eng fish channel an dthe copper removed. The protests fthe shippers which then arose finally resulted in an agree ment of sale between Henry R. Mer- iton O., prosecuting the British govern ment as purchaser. and the individual yshippers. The price agreed upon was E55 5s., which at the time was figured
 to net the producers l2 cents, f. O. b New York. This transaction took place iabout four months ago, but payment has been rendered only within the past week and then producers learned thai warehouse charges had been deducted
 The shippers naturally protested, as the net price agreed upon -l2 cents a pound-would not be realized witt lthis deduction enforced. Much if mol all of the copper involved had beer sold at IA cents a pound.

MUST HAVE COTTON.
Demand Is Increasing and the Prics
Is Going Up.

Washington. Jan. 2.-Fairfax Harrison.
president of the Southern railway. de-
clared today that wars effect on business
{ nditions in the south was proving only
temporary; that the demand for cotton
was growing and predicted q general re-
viva1 of business.
THE world must have cotton, he said.
The demand both for export and for
American mills is increasing and there
has been substantial advance
in price since the Low point when the de-
preston was at its worst With larger
movement of cotton, there will come an
increased demand for merchandise of all
kinds in the south and a general revival
of business.
Southern farmers are meeting the sit
uation confronting them by planning to
reduce the acreage of cotton planted in
1915 and to devote the land thus released
from cotton to other crops and to live
stock. Statistics of the United States de-
partment of agriculture and reports "
the agricultural agents of the Southern
Railway company show substantial in
creases in the acreage planted in fan
grains in every southern state and the
prospects are that a larger acreage OF
corn will be planted in the spring.

SAYS DO II NOW
Declares There Is Nothing the
Matter with Business.

Washington, JAN 2-Heartened by
months Of close study of the business
outlook of the nation. Secretary Red
field OF the commerce department
wrote yesterday New Years greeting
to the merchants and manufacturers of
the country, bidding them in charac-
teristic language to reach out for the
prosperity he sees within their grasp.
There Is no warrant. Mr.. Redffeld de-
clares. for gloom or despair. The i'll
can enterprise are passing and new
vtstes for commercial ventures are
opening with each new day.
His message follows in part:
If you want prosperity do your own
part to bring it and do it now. Is trade
a bit dull in the works? Get those inn
provements begun Prices are low and
likely to rise You've been thinking of
that contract work; better start it your
self before things get the start of you.
This country slows down a bit now
and then. but 1t never stops growing
and 1t always moves up and not down.
We don't know what it means in most
Of the United States to have real dis
tress- Think of Belgium and Poland.
oh man with a crouch, and stink into
your hole and pull it in after you.
Then think Of your sins and your
blessings and come out with your
courage in working order.
There are lots of good American ex-
amples Of pluck. Do you remember
San Francisco and Galveston and Chi
cago, Boston. Charleston, Baltimore
and Dayton and many others like
them? Remember Thomas A. Edison
and lots OF other of your fellow citi-
zens who showed pluck when things
were hard
Nothing is the matter with the man
with a crouch except an absence OF
heart and missing nerve. Cheer up,
go to work. do your level best. quit
talking misery-they are living here.
It's all clouds there-clear day here.
Get out and sell some goods. Plant
some more acres: do more work than
you planned. Talk cheerful talk and
you'll find this country Of ours a
pretty good place after all

GROWING HOTTER
Fighting Is Increasing in In
tensity in Alsace Region.
Great Wedges Are Driven Into
the German Line.

Paris, Jan. Fighting. which is
reported increasing in intensity, is
in progress along the entire French
center and right. Following the ex-
change of almost continuous artillery
fire by heavy guns of both sides, the
infantry is again pressing forward
slowly but surely. The chief opera
tons today are reported to be in up
per Alsace and in the Champagne dis
trict. The operations in Alsace are on
an extensive scale.
The troops which have been massed
along the Toul-Nancy line and in the
neighborhood of Belfort are being
pushed forward to the support of General
Pau who is in entire charge of these
operations. 1t is the intention Of the
general staff to clear all of upper AL
SAGE of the Germans if possible, so
that attacks can be commenced on both
Metz and Strassburg soon after the
first Of the year.
In the Champagne district the opera
tons are slowly developing into a general
battle with the advantage on the part Of
the French. At several points great
wedges have been driven into the German
line and their trenches captured.
In the north the operations are still re-
tarded by the weather. Heavy SHOWS have
succeeded the rains, making conditions
for the troops in the field even worse

What is Topeka going to about it?

Naturally the question is up to the

The question presented opens a wide

that the new modiste is a Scotchman.
Being a Scotchman he would not be

Imagine a Scotchman married to q
