Mary Roberts Rinehart
Public Ledger Reporter at
the Great Conventions
RAlREE

THE Public Ledger has commissioned
Mary Roberts Rinehart to report the
great National Conventions in Chicago
and St. Louis
Mrs. Rinehart realizes that this years
Conventions will be epoch-making;
that they promise to stand as landmark
in American political and national history.
And she has decided to get into the
middle of them, and tell us how they
look from the inside
You who read her recent article
in the Public Ledger on Americas
Lack of National Spirit" with its
cold, crinkly criticism, can form some
little idea of the zeSt with which Mrs.
Rinehart will "tackle" the Conventions. z
Republicans, Democrats, Progressives;
Roosevelt, Hughes and the "Favorite
Sons; every side of the Conventions and
every national figure playing an active or
a hidden part therein-all these will be
handled with that sparkling enthusiasm,
searching analysis and naive humor
which are the peculiar properties of
Mrs. Rinehart'S work.
This is the greatest political assign
ment ever placed by newspaper. Ii

and numerous other sights.
The trip on which Mr.. Smith took
his audience was a lecture trip illus
trated by excellent stereopticon views.
His descriptions of the buildings and
the city were vivid, his word pictures
being as entertaining as the views.
Mrs. r. L. Nourse presided, introduce
ing the speaker as our congressman"

PROHIBITION BENEFICIAL.

"Shoshone county approved the pro-
hibition amendment to the constitu-
ton by a substantial majority" said
MIR. Day. Prohibition in that county
and in the Occur dAlene mining sec
kion has been beneficial not only to the
men employed, but to the employers
FNer since the state went dry, in
fact, we have felt the good results Of
the adjustment of intoxicating
liquors..
Ir. Day is one OF the Democratic
presidential electors of this state and
was complimented by receiving the
Ibishest vote for the office of presiden-
tial e,ector in Idaho. His name was
placed on the ballot unknown to him,
hut today he took occasion to express
his appreciation for the compliment
that had been paid him. He declared

tinctton of being among the few who
in their large operations take the ore
direct from the ground and deliver the
mineral direct to the consumer. They
have not only the mines, but a mann

RECALLS INTERESTING INCIDENT
1t is interesting to note that in the
early Legislative days of this state. or
to be exact, in 1898, Harry L. Day
was secretary of the senate of the Ida.
no Legislature when all of the laws
then on the statute books were re-
enacted. He applied successful bust
ness methods he had used in mining
TO handle the increased volume of
work the senate during that session
placed on his shoulders. 1t seems that
many Of the laws had, by previous
legislatures. been enacted under sus-.
pension of the rules without complying
with the constitutional provision for
that procedure. \ supreme court de-
cision made it clear that most Of the
statutes were unconstitutional. so the
legislature. including the senate of
which Mr.. Day was secretary, pro-
ceeded to play safe and repassed all
of the statutes in compliance with the
supreme court decision. Mr. Day en-
ployed a corps of handwriting experts
so that the records could be properly
written and the measures enrolled.

Mining INDUSTRY
OF NORTH IDAHO
NOW FLOURISH|NC
Harry L. Day Tells of Con-
ditions in Great Mineral
Belt of Occur d'Alenes-
Prohibition Has Helped.

Prosperous conditions prevail in the
great Occur d'Alene mining district at
the present time and promise to con-
tinue to do so in the future, although
when the European war ends there Will
have to be a reimbursement due to the
probable change in mineral values that
will follow. Harry L. Day, of Wal
lace, one of the most prominent men
in the mining world, who is in Boise,
so stated today. He is optimistic over
the present situation and the pros
perity that has visited the mineral
zone of the panhandle. An employer
of many men he stated positively that
the abolition of the sale and manufac-
fure of liquors in Shoshone county,
has been an excellent thing and is
approved by not only the men en-
ployed but the employers. Shoshone
county returned a substantial majority
for the prohibition amendment sub
united to the voters for approval at
the recent general election.
PROSPEROUS CONDITIONS.
THE prevailing prices for minerals
are good and have been for some time"
said Mr. Day. They will continue to
be, until the war stops. 1t neces
sarily follows there will have to be
yeadiustment then, but what that will
be, or just how it will come about,
cannot be said at this time. 1t is a
matter for future consideration. There
are many men engaged in our section
in mining. Old properties as well as
new ones are being worked and the
returns Justify the effort. The men
employed are ccntented. They are be-
ing paid good wages and the future is
Just as bright as the past has been.
This prosperous condition of affairs
has been generally beneficial"
Regarding the fotation process of
which George Wyman, now of Boise,
and Mr.1)ay are the pioneers, Mr.. Day
has nothing but praise for Mr.. Wyman,
who recently opened an office in Boise
and is now making this city his head
quarters. This process has more or
less revolutioniZed mining. It made
possible the recovery of floating min
erals that prior to its discovery were
lost. A large English syndicate is now
alleging an infringement of its rights

HUGHES MUM ON DEMOCRATIC
CHARGES OF lNAccURACY

St. Paul, Mimi, Aug. 9.-His voice
hoarse and frayed from the two days
speaking of the twenty-five siren
uous campaigning days ahead of him
on his trans-cOntinental speaking
tour, Republican Nominee Hughes
brought to the Twin Cities today his
gospel of Republicanism.
He refused fatty to comment on
Washington dispatches stating that
Democratic leaders had demanded
from him retraction of charges
made in his Detroit speech that the
Democrats had instituted the spoils
system and in at least two cases had
replaced scientific executive heads Of
big government bureaus with mere
political henchmen utterly without
qualification for the places. It could
not even be learned whether or not
the nominee had received the tele-
grams from Washington demanding
a withdrawal of the charges.
Hughes will very probably make
answer to the demands for a with
draWal of the charges in his speech
here tonight.

to crosscut every 100 feet, in order to

THE MOST FAMOUS ROAD IN AMERICA
Tungsten Owners
Should Take Heart

In spite Of the fact that the tungsten
market is very low at present, the own
ers of tungsten properties should not
be discouraged, says report from the
Arizona State Bureau Of Mines When
tungsten was $110 per unit, it was en-
tirely too high, and naturally the bot
tom could be expected to drop out of
the market When the drop came, it
was sent below normal, but tungsten
will become a standard metal, with a
fixed price of from $25 to $50 per unit,
which means a considerable value per
ton Of the go per cent concentrate.
The furry for tungsten has called at
tention to it's advantages, and there are
many increasing uses. The high price
was largely caused by the demand for
use in high speed steel. 1t is now
found that there are immense advanta-
ges in the use of 1t in steel rails.
Tungsten is to become one Of the
staple industries of Arizona, although
1t is dormant at the present time.
