The WARS COST IN MONEY

Count Won Roedern, secretary of the
Imperial German treasury, puts the
total cost of the war to date, for all
belligerents, at $50, 500, 900, 900. If it
continues full three years it is esti-
mated it will have cost a full three
times as much as the Nayoleonic War,
the War between the States, the
Franco-P russian War, the Boer War
and the Russo-Japanese War combined.
A New York banker says this vast
total will represent an amount suf-
ficient to build and equip railroads equal
to five times the number now operat
ing in the United States, or to dig 200
Panama Canals, or to extend steam
ship lines to all parts of the earth. If
spent wisely in an effort to educate the
children of the globe it could have
eliminated sayagerY, dissipated pre-
judice and endowed science In an effort
to improve the living conditions of man
kind,
But this is not the total cost of the
war. The"outright destruction of cities.
railway, ships, factories, warehouses.
bridges. roads and agricultural values
runs the amount into incalculable mil
hons. There is the loss of production
in occupied territories, the decrease in
stocks of food, metal and other ma
terials and the arrangement of social
machinery.
twenty-five million soldiers would
have produced much wealth had thev
not enlisted to fight or otherwise to
contribute their skill and energy to eff
forts of destruction. There is the losses
suffered by whole bodies of people, like
those of Belgium, POLAND and Serbia.
who had to abandon their belongings
and wander homeless through devastat-
ed lands. Then against the patriotic
citizens of all nations have devoted
their savings to the buying of guns,
shells and the various paraphernalia of
wars equipment; savings that other
wise would have found way to con-
structive things.
And the total is not complete. Thous-
ands of hale workmen are MANNED;
others have lost their health; both
classes must be cared for. Those who
remain after the war must pay the bill.

Der business has been that the United
States has been exporting to countries
where there is more timber than any,
thing else. Thus our exporters have
been sending lumber to South America
and to Africa by the shipload, where
there are millions of acres of primeval
forests that have never felt an ak.
They have been able to do so because it
has been cheaper to have the timber
cut and moved to the seaport, and then
to pay ocean transportation, than it
was to get it from the native forests.
In other words, timber can be cut in
Oregon and shipped by rail to New
York, and thence by water to Buenos
Ayres cheaper than it can be taken out
of the forests 20 miles from that city.
The same thing is true of South Africa,
which, by the way, is now getting
much of its lumber from Japan instead
of the United States because the trans
portatlon charges from our seaports
are so much higher to South Africa
than they are from Japan to that
country.
The only thing that can save the
forests of this country after the war
is the continued high price of ocean
transportation. If rates are reduced
to anything like they were before the
war started there will be such de-
mand for American lumber that we
shall be in danger of lessening our sup
ply that we ourselves will eventually
suffer. For such is the rule of business
that it takes no note of future de-
mands 1t is the present with business
always-and the sale is made to the
man who pays the greatest price re-
CARELESS Of future consequences. No
one is to be blamed; it is a matter of
business. But Some sweet day perhaps
more rational business systems will be
evolved than those now prevailing in
the worlds trade. From the Dayton

Notice to Subscribers.

Beginning November lst, 1916 the subscription price
of The Republican will be advanced from $l25 per year
to $3.50 per year. This advance in price is made I'M
willingly by the publisher but the time it is
absolutely necessary by reason Of the fact that every
single item going into the making of a newspaper, ncud
ing inks paper and fixed charges has advanced that
the present subscription price Of 3l25 per year is much
less than the cost Of production
News print paper has advanced from s. 40 per hundred
pounds to 500 per hundred pounds while inks have adj
vanced from cents per pound to Is per pound
within the past six months. 1t was the hope of the
management that prices would become normal and this
advance in the price of subscription would be
sary but instead indications that all material swi
become higher.
Anyone desiring to pay their subscription in advance
prior to November LIST may do the present rate fora
period ofno more than year. All subscriptions that
are now paid in advance will be continued the full time

Millions more are left dependent upon
the state by the death of soldier who
supported them in times of peace. He
served his nation and those for whom
he cared must be protected. 1t is the
cost of war.
The money the governments are
spending at the rate of S1O5, 200, 900 a
day is nothing, bagatelle in the cost
of war. The other totals are tremend-
Gus, too vast to be set down, and too
precious to be reckoned by the cold
standard of gold or silver.

High Grade Ore
In Austin Mine

Phenomenally rich ore has been
stripped in the west drift at the 100
foot level from the X-Ray shaft on
the property of the Austin-D Dakota
Mining company operating near the
south side, says the Reese River Re-
veille.
Specimens brought in from the
mine by Superintendent Littrell have
been examined by most of the old
time miners in the Lander Hill
workings. The unanimous opinion is
that the rock is the richest ever
brought to the surface in Austin. 1t
is ruby silver and "black metal
forms of silver naturalization, coyet-
ed by every mar who ever sought
under ground riches.
The ledge along the footwall Of
which the drift is being run is eight
inches in thickness. The streak will
run between $1,000 and $1,000 to the
ton.

Old CuriOS for
Historical Society

A large collection of historical
documents from eastern Nevada has
recently been presented to the Me-
vada Historical society by Mrs. Alex
Muir Of Hamilton. Many at these
date back to the days of Treasure
Hin excitement and some to the
Civil war. Among the latter are a
number of internal revenue stamps
and a newspaper containing a picture
of Virginia City in 1868 and an ac-
count of the illumination Of the flag
on Mount Davidson, July 80, 1868,
which natural phenomenon was re-
garded as a good omen for the Union
cause.
Among other things the collection
contains two photographs, one Of a
team hauling ore from Treasure Hill
to the Smoky mill at Hamilton in
1886, and the other of the old fire
engine and bell brought around the
Horn to San Francisco and thence
to Hamilton.
Mrs. Muir, who has collected
these things, is one of the oldest res
idents of Hamilton and is anxious 10
