Ore in British Colonies.

Buyers here sent agents to Japan
and to South America to get whatev er
tungsten IRE might still be had. as the
several interests in this country were
competing With each other, driving the
market up against themselves. BY
October the price had reached $40 per
unit
Previous to the outbreak of the war,
Australia, New Zealand, Burma and
the Straits Settlements supplied very
large proportion of the worlds produc-
tion of tungsten. England, foreseeing
the call for this ore Communicated all
that was produced in any of its colon
les. and fixed maximum price of 55s.
per unit, or about $3.50. Though this
requisition stopped any tungsten from
reaching this country from the British
colonies, it cleared the position consid-
erably as far as neutral countries are
concerned, for the British no longer
competed for the ore which fetched
here very much higher figure than
the maximum price fixed for the Brit
ish government
However, the British embargo did
not operate wholly as expected. Many
colonial producers did not relish the
selling of their product for price on
~ one-half or one-third of what was
being paid in the open market and re-
served their output with the expecta-
lion that the British government
would have to raise its figure at some

Buy at Any Price.

Ore for prompt delivery is so very
much in demand that practically any
price is being paid. Although the
largest buyers here will not pay top
prices, ammunition makers have paid
as much as $62.50 per unit, or even
more. Such high prices have stimulat-
ed every prospector to look for tung-
stem, and on the other hand have in
duced mine owners to work the mines
to their full capacity. Tungsten ore
assaying only to 4 per cent, which
was hardly worth while mining in nor
NAL times is now finding ready sale,
while per cent ore has fetched $2S
per unit. Dumps have been reiterated |
to get whatever they would yield. Any !
thing containing tungsten has been
hunted for. Assayers' offices have been
ransacked for forgotten samples of the
ore. A single pound has been readily |
marketable, and opportunities to get
10o-pound lots have been thankfully
received by the largest buyers.
The value of tungsten metal ad-
from 60 cents per pound to 81
per pound during the year. Tool steel
that used to be worth about 70 cents
per pound, is eagerly bought at SO per
pound. These stupendous advances
have not curtailed consumption. On I

Equal Suffrage Is Sure ~
To Come Says Hughes

Charles Evans Hughes, Republican
candidate for president, has written
an article for the November Woman's
Home Companion in which he says:
"In my trips across the continent
nothing was more clearly manifested
than the intense interest Of women
in the political questions Of the day.
This was shown not only in the great
assemblies Of women which l had the
privilege of addressing, but In what
was said to me by thousands in mum.
e1ous receptions. The women Of this
country are alert and more active
politically than ever before in our
history.
There is, Of course, particular in
terest in the question Of suffrage.
Women in the so-called suffrage states
are not only intent upon the exercise
Of the rights accorded them, but are
deeply solicltous for the enfranchise-
ment of their sisters in other states,
while the general movement for wom-
an suffrage shows a determination and
strength OF organized effort which
leave no doubt as ttohe result. The
Republican platform refers to the ex.
tension Of suffrage to. women as "a

Public VIII Pay.

Remember it is the public that in
the end will pay You do not have
to take my assertion for this. Take
the assertion OF Mr.. Wilson'S master in
this matter. The union leaders,
through their chairman, Mr.. Garretson,
announced that they would steadily
refuse to arbitrate and that in their
action they were supported by the
president OF the United States" They
stated their case in nutshell as fol-
lows: Sin times like this, men go
back to primal instinct-to the day Of
the caveman with his half-gnawed
bone, snarling at the other caveman
who wanted to take his bone away
We leaders are fighting for our men.
The railroads are fighting for their
stockholders; and the shippers for
themselves. And the public will pay"
MIR. Garretson is right-the public
will pay. And 1t will pay without hav-
ing had the chance 10 know whether
1t ought or ought not to pay. Mr.
Wilson betrayed the public when he

A School For the COun-
try Boy or Girl Who
Can't Go to College

There are hundreds of boys and
girls in Colorado who can spend
but limited time in training
above the eighth grade. Circum-
stances of one kind or another
will not permit them to go either
to high school or college and they
will be compelled to return to the
farm home and prepare to take
hold of the pillow handles when
Father can no longer guide the
pillow. or to Mother" who can no
longer effectively cope with her
household cares and duties.
These young people need special
preparation for their future. The
ordinary high school is highly
efficient and effective in its pre-
scribed field--the preparation of
young people for college-but it
really has little of value to the
young man or young woman who
is going back to the farm. They
need training in agriculture, ami
NAL husbandry, the mechanic arts,
domestic science and household
arts and they should be provided
with this kind of an education
during the years which they ordi-
narily spend in high, school.
We are just in receipt of the
annual catalog and other literature
of the Colorado School of Agri-
culture, an institution established
and maintained by the state for
the very purpose we have just out

Arthur R. Morrison. candidate
for the nomination for Attorney
General on the Republican ticket,
is a product of Clear Greek county
and the voters of Clear Creek
county should have no hesitancy
in giving their support to native
son, especially where he has the
ability shown by Mr.. Morrison in
his brief career.
He was born in Georgetown on
July 4, 1881, the son of Robert S.
Morrison who needs no introduce
ton to the residents of this county.
He followed in the footsteps of
his father and has been practicing
law in Denver since 1904.
His ability was early recognized
when the Supreme court OF this
state in 1907 appointed him as a
mem Der of commission to revise
the statutes of Colorado.
He has recently been before the
public eye as a member of the
State Civil Service Commission,
where he has consistently stood
for the upholding of the law under
which he was appointed, and for
true Interpretation thereof.
