BRINGS BOOM TO BOLIVIA
Finding of Rich Deposits of Tungsten
Has Aroused Great Excite
ment.

Mining for tungsten or wolfram has
brought prosperity to Bolivia. Accord
ing to El Diario of La Paz, the boom
at the mining center of Oururo can
scarcely be exaggerated.
Daily the miners and WOrkmen
fiocked into the town from the outly-
ing districts, carrying the fruit of their
labors. The camps were full of nerv-
GUS energy.
Individuals pass through the streets
of Oururo with faces burned by the
wind and sun. They are the miners
who have come to offer the exporting
houses lots of wolfram, varying be-
tween 100 and 1000 pounds. The
amount of this sale, 5000 to $4,000, is
considerable in view Of the modest con-
dition of the miners, of whom the ma
tOrity are Indians. The proceeds of
the sale are deposited in the banks at
sight, and the miner, happy and con-
tented with the certificate of his CAPT.
tai, returns to the Cordillera to bring
down new treasures.
In nearly all the mineral districts of
the department of Oururo there are
rich deposits of wolfram. Motor cars
have been rapidly springing into popu7
larity for use in visiting the mining re-
gions, and many cars have recently been
ordered from the United States.
Tungsten and tin ores are found at
attitudes between 1850 and 16,5OO
feet above sea level. Men, mules and
llamas can chimp up and down, but the
slopes are too steep for working and
handling of ore. Aerial rOpeways are
used to bring the ore down to place
where water for concentration is avail
able.

FIND VOLCANO IN MINDANAO
tenant DonneIIy Says of the
Discovery.

MindanaO has a new volcano, accord
ing to the Mfndanao Herald. Lieuten-
ant Donnelly, while on a hike into the
interior of Lanao province, discovered
an active volcano in the Piagayungan
range of mountains, which heretofore
was not known to exist. Lieutenant
Donnelly says of his discovery in the
following report:
"June 5, 1916, the undersigned, in
command of a combined detachment
of the First Cotabato company, and
the First General Service company, on
reconnaissance patrol from Kapaad
northwest through the Piagaypnan
mountain range, came in sight of an
active volcano which from all indica-
tons had recently erupted discharge
of volcanic ash and either smoke or
fame.
From the fact that foliage in the
forest on the mountain sides three
miles to the southeast had been
scorched as though by flame, hot
smoke or toxic gas, and that ground
vegetation of scrub grass and weeds
had been partially destroyed, leaving
the stalks intact and the scorched
leaves retaining their form, it was
thought that the eruption had been
recent At all events, so recent that
the wind had not blown away nor de-
stroyed the fragile remnants of the
burned foliage"

Impure seed does not necessarily
mean seed which has been Willfully
adulterated. Don't think just because
you grew the seed yourself and did not
put any weed seeds into it that it is
any better than that which you might
buy. If you or your neighbors allow
weeds to flourish, there are chances
that your seed will bear a large pro-
portion Of weed seed.
Weed Remedies.
The problem is how to get rid Of
weeds and keep them out.
First, rotate the crops; screen all
seed; cultivate frequently and thor
oughly; cut the weeds before they go
to seed, use smother crops: pasture
with sheep; and finally keep everlast-
ingly after them.
If your wheat field is weedy, seed it
to clover. and blue grass NOW the an
nuals and biennials before they seed,
pasture with sheep or hogs to keep
down the perennials; follow by a culti-
waited crop to kill any lingering weeds,
and you will have disposed Of most
varieties.
Rotate, Pasture, Cultivate.
Avoid sowing weed seed. Fan and
grade all seed.
Prevent leaves forming. Cut just
under the crown and repeat the opera
ton as often as the leaves appear.
Plants cannot live long in the growing
season unless the leaves develop. If
no leaves are allowed to form, the
plant root will starve.
Generally in dealing with biennials,
it is necessary to cut below. the crown,
Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1916-10-13

or the plant will quickly send forth
new shoots and perhaps seed close to
the ground, where ordinary moving
will not reach it.
If cut of the first year, the root is
not so deep, is more tender, more
easily cut and more easily killed. If
prevented from seeding, sometimes BIZ
ennials will appear the third year,
Watch for such sprouts.
Cut Before FloWerinu.
Another point which may mark the
difference between success and failure
in your weed campaign is to cut just
before Towering. While the plant is
growing it is storing away vitality to-
ward the time when it shall need it for
fruit production. When it begins to
produce fruit, it draws on this surplus
stock. When it has budded it has used
large part of this stored vitality and
is weaker than at any other time ex-
cept when it is very young. Now is the
time to cut. The seeds will not be
formed enough to live on to maturity,
the plant is at it's weakest and is more
readily killed. If in addition, the
weather is hot and dry, it is practically
certain the root will die.
IF you wait until it blossoms, some
of the seed may mature enough to
ripen even after the plant is cut down
and some seed will scatter for next
years weed crop. If after cutting the
seed seems to be mature enough to
ripen, the only safe way is to rake the
weeds together and burn them. Some
times seed which seems to be green
will mature after it is plowed under,
lie dormant in the soil until conditions
are favorable, then sprout.
: Method for Perenniais.
To eradicate perennials, the same
proposition holds: Prevent the old
plants seeding; kill the young plants
as they appear; kill the root stock.
The most absolutely effective way to
kill a root is to dig it out. Ii you have
only a small patch and the weeds are
really noxious, this may be the safest
way. If you have large patch and the
roots are long and strong this is an al
most impossible task. In any case it is
tireSome one.

The Hungarian sculptor Stephen

early in the nineteenth century with
out knowing that Da Vinci was its
creator.
It was not until after Ferenczy's
death that the authorship was estab-

Mr.. HUGHES SPEAKS
TWICE AT TOLEDO
Workmen Attempt to Heckle
Him During His Criticism
of Adamson Act.
CHEERS FROM THE CROWD

Toledo, O., Sept. 26.-Charles E.
Hughes faced two audiences here to-
day, one at theater, which cheered
him repeatedly, another in the open
air at a large automobile plant COM
posed of workmen off for the noon
hour. Al number of the latter sought
to heckle the nominee and cheered for
Wilson. There were also many cheers
for Hughes.
Mr. Hughes spoke on the Adamson
law in his open-air speech. He reiter-
ated his declaration that he would
never surrender to force" and repeat
ed his assertion that the measure was
not an eight-hour law, but wage law.
The audience listened quietly at
first and cheered points made by the
nominee.
What about the Danbury hatters?"
shouted a man on the edge of the
crowd. There were many street noises
from passing traffic, and apparently
Mr.. Hughes did nothear Toward the
end of his speech other workmen took
up the question: What about the
Danbry hatters?' shouted many.
There was much other noise and
voices. Mr.. Hughes did not answer
After the meeting he said he had not
heard the question.
How about the unions in the fac
tory here" shouted another man.
Mr.. Hughes replied that he favor
ed unions, and was cheered.
AS the nominee neared the end OF
his address there was a growing
volume of Wilson cheers sprinkled
here and there with uncomplimen-
tary references to Mr.. Hughes. a
He continued, however, with a
smile on his face and amidst frequent
applause, to discuss the Adamson
law, declaring that labor, least of all,
could afford to surrender the prin-
ciple of arbitration.
The nominee repeated his attack
on the administration for the Adam
son law in his address at the theater.
He was vigorously applauded. He
also declared for the protection of
American rights.
The path Of proper preparedness,
the path Of maintaining Justly and
firmly Of American rights, is not the
path that leads to war;" he said. at

Fairbanks Has Busy Day in Omaha;
Vice President Candidate Live Wire
Talks Before Commercial Club,
Opens Carnival and Ad-'
dresses Big Crowd at
Auditorium.

"The conflagration in Europe has
been brought about by ignorance,
neglect or sinister design" said
former Vice President Fairbanks i'll
his talk to the Commercial club at
noon. "In the years past somebody
made mistake in Europe; we do not
know who is to be credited with the,
responsibility for the greatest strife
among mankind in the history of the
world We look upon the bloody spec.
tacle with sense of horror.
"If we can draw no other lesson from
it, we can certainly draw this, and that
is that governments are not secure
against the possibilities of overthrow,
no matter how long they have endured
or how secure they are in the opinions
of men"
Mr.. Fairbanks said he realized that
the proprieties OF the occasion made
it necessary for him to refrain from
political utterances at the public af-
fairs luncheon rendered in his honor
at the club rooms. "But | trust" he
said, that word or two of politics
in the broadcast sense may not offend
the most delicate sensibilities,
Our Civic Duty.
Zone thing that impresses me more
and more as the years pass is the I'M
portance of the full, faithful and loyal
discharge of our civic duty. Too many
of our countrymen view with more or
less indifference the discharge of their
political responsibilities.
"We are engaged in the task of ma
ton building. 1t is a-gigantic under
taking, and challenges our wisest
judgment. Our nation is what we
make it. 1t thrives not upon ignor-
ance. 1t does not attain successful
proportions by mere accident; it is
wrought out by intelligent service and
sacrifice. In the final analysis we get
out of our public institutions what we
put into them. We cannot enjoy lib
erty without making our sacrifices
full and fair upon the altar of liberty.
There is one great fact that we
must bear in mind and that is the
fabric of our government thus far ad-
vanced is not beyond the reach of the
peril of change. Change is one of
the laws of nature. 1t adheres in the
institutions of men and throughout
the physical world about us. History

LEGISLATURE MAY
DEAL WITH STRIKE
Governor Whitman Will Con-
suit City Members as to Ad-
visability>of Extra Session.
100000 AGREE TO QUIT

New York, Sept. Ex-Governor
Whitman has promised to meet here
this afternoon a committee represent
ing members Of the state legislature
from Manhattan and the Bronx to
hear their request for a special session
of the legislature to deal with the
situation" resulting from threats of a
general suspension of work Wednes-
day morning in sympathy with the
striking car men. No method of deal
ing with the proposed strike was set
forth by the committee, but it was
pointed out the power of the public
service commission was inadequate.
Hugh Frayne, an officer Of the Am
erican Federation of Labor, and one
of the directors of the strike move
ment claimed today that assurances
had been received by the labor lead
efs that 100000 organized workers
viii Quit work tomorrow morning.
A committee OF the general officers
OF the national and international
unions have quarters here and repre-
sentatives of the Central labor unions,
trade councils and local unions will
meet Wednesday morning to or
ganizc and extend the suspension of
work. Means of supplying financial
support to strikers and rlans for hold
ing demonstrations will be considered.
The building trade councils OF Man
haitian and the Bronx representing
about $4,000 workers have postponed
their. response to the call for sus-
pension.
Disorders again broke out during
the early hours today. According to
the police, a dozen elevated trains
were bombarded with sticks and
stones thrown from roof tops by strik-
ers and sympathizers. Three persons
were injured by flying glass when
the windows of Third avenue ele-
waited train were shattered by missiles.
Two arrests were made. One of the
men in custody is charged with having
a revolver in his possession.

SOUTHERN PACIFIC
NET INCOME GROWS
Figures from Annual Report
Show Increase of Over Fifty
Per Cent in Year.
ITS INVESTMENTS LARGER

New York Sept. 26.-A gain Of
50.l4 per cent in net income is re-
ported by the Southern Pacific conf
pany in its detailed report for the fis-
cal year ended June 80 last, that item
increasing from $2O,57O,3l9 to $780,
SS5,254.
The gross income increased from
$49,647,992 to $60,393,006, an increase
of 21.64 per cent, and net revenue from
railway operations increased from
$42,1l1,S33 to $55,250,570, gain Of
3l.20 per cent.
The Southern Pacific company was
materially benefited by the heavy
travel to the San Francisco exposi-
ton and derived additional income
from its holdings of stock in other
railroads, as we'll as various other
properties, including the Associated
Oil company of California.
The company's investments OF
$689, ,9l6,652 show an increase of $l6,-
$4,000 over the previous year, these
including stocks, bonds and notes. Its
current liabilities of $l9,3S8,707 are
but slightly increased over the pre-
vious year.
- Its gross earnings of $l52, 2,594, ,22S
are the, largest in the history of the
company, surprising the previous
record OF 1913 by $9,9l9,523 and a
gain over 1915 of $22,S28,553.
Closing of Canal Helps.
In his review of the years opera
tions, Chairman Julius Kruttschnitt
says:
THE interruption of steamship
service through the Panama canal
since September lS, 1915, has mini
mized sea competition and has re-
stored to your company's lines the
freight which had been diverted from
it by frequent steamship service
through the Panama canal during the
previous year and by the low rates
then prevailing. Nearly all the steam
ers which had operated through the
canal found more profitable employ
ment in consequence of the increased
demand for steamship tonnage owing
to the European war, and they have
not been restored to regular service
between Atlantic and Pacific ports
sinoe the reopening of the canal
Upon the return of normal condi-
tions, however, it may safely be as
sumed that the intense competition
of the steamship lines will be en-
countered again"
