When the steamship Dolphin rounded the corner yesterday and gave her signal of salute to the town, old timers down at the wharf were somewhat puzzled. Gliding uO the canal was Q bottom that they did not recognize Not until she threw her name plate before the optics of the assembled crowd did they perceive the identy of their old staunch and true friend, "The polFhin."
 This is the first trip of the popu- lar h)at this season to our shore. She has been overhauled from stem to stern, her machinery is working Ere a fine Swiss clock. She i5 garbed in a spring dress of glisten-

 draperies. The staterooms have

 and "srick and span" is too mod

 Tn company has placed a new
 set of officers on her deck. John Livingston, known from Point Bar rev to Point Conception, will leat the boat through the waters of

They will be re- presented as follows: Marie Cor yell, Ruby Johnson at forward, Mac Schumann, Cletus Carroll at guard and Alice Coughiiu at center. Miss Ruby Carroll will act as substitute.

In any event they are bound to draw

do well to try to protect themselves

Railroads OF the Country Consume
Quarter of Production.
The railroads of the United States
used 12S,200,000 net tons of coal in
1915, or "a per cent of the total out
put. The bituminous mines furnished
122, 900, 900 tons, or % per cent of their
production, and the Pennsylvania an
thracite region 100000 tons, or per
cent of its production. These figures
are compiled by C. E. Lesher of the
United States geological survey.
The roads in the eastern district
defined by the interstate commerce
commission as that portion of the
United States lying north of Potomac
and Ohio rivers and east of Chicago,
Peoria and st. Louis, used 56,500,000
tons of bituminous coal and $500, 1000
tons of anthracite, a total of 62,700,0 900
tons. The roads of the southern dis
trict, that territory south of the Poto-
mac and Ohio rivers and east of the
Mississippi, used 22,OOO,OOO tons of BIZ
luminous coal and the western roads
consumed 43,500,O00 tons.

USE MORE SOAP.

Because they use too much water
and too little soap, women do not get
the same dazzling whteness in their
washed clothes as do the United
States marines, Sergeant Clarence d.
Rhoades, of the marine corps, told a
party of society women visiting the
battleship Utah at Newport the other
day.
1.-THE eye-paining brilliance of our
white clothes is due to the fact that
we wash with our heads as well as our
hands, and we let soap do it's proper
share of the work. Just enough water
to thoroughly wet the wash is suffi-
Gent" the sergeant continued, "and
the less water and more soap one
uses the whittier the washing will turr
out"
The fair visitors seemed greatly
pleased with the lesson given them ir
an art that is dear to every woman''
heart.

Claim That Efficiency of Labor

the cessation of immigration and the
return of workers to Europe. With
this independence has come about an
inefficiency that is due to ignorance.
The attitude of labor is one of the
disturbing features of the present sit
uation. It's blighting effects are be-
ing experienced in copper smelling,
zinc smelling, and other metallurgical
industries, as well as in manufactur-
ing industries in general. 1t is dis
couraging to see the discountenancing
OF efficiency obtaining the sanction of
the American people collectively
through acts of congress, one of which
proposes to make it illegal to institute
time studies in governmental work.
We imagine that the movement for the
abolition of efficiency systems does not
come from the men themselves so
much as it does from the walking del
egates who foresee a curtailment of
their power, activity and income. The
workmen unfortunately do not, in
their ignorance, appreciate what is
good for them. However, there is the
underlying desire of human nature to
throw thrift to the winds, to live from
hand to mouth, and to have a good
time while the going is good. There

lNcoM { TAX.
Court Ruling of Interest to Leasers Of
Mining Ground.

Mining Ground,
In computing income taxes collect
ible from lessee of mining property
who is developing the property on a
royalty basis, although he is entitled
to a deduction in the assessment to
cover royalties paid the lessor, he is
not entitled to a deduction on account
of ore depreciation resulting from re-
moval of ore mined. So held the Wis
cOnsin supreme court lately in the case
of Klar Piquett Mining Co. Us. Town
of Platteville, 1871 Northwestern Re-
porter, 763. 1t was unsuccessfully
claimed by a lessee in this case that
the last mentioned deduction was pro-
per on the theory of the lcssee's own
.ership of underlying ore.
The reason for the decision appears
in the following extract thereof: 1.-The
price paid by the lessee of a mine for
ore taken out measures the cost of the
raw material to him in the form in
which he takes it, To this of course,
must be added the cost of mining and
marketing, including depreciation to
plant and other proper expense con-
nected with the business, to arrive at
the actual cost thereof"

The National City Bank in its last
.,,ou,ar on business conditions calls
attention to the alarming increase IN
the inefficiency of labor. referring to
This matter in the following very mod
crate words:
.Tt is a deplorable fact that there
.ra c,rcumstantial and authentic re-
norts going to show that labor, in
some instances, instead of being in
spired by higher pay to greater pro-
ductiveness, is becoming less efficient.
In one instance under our observation,
n large employer, whose attitude to-
ward labor is that of sympathetic con-
sideration, reports that after raising
wages three times within a year the
output per man Is In serious degree
less than before. The superintendent
in immediate charge of operations at
tribute these results to indifference,
loss of discipline, and the fact that
other Jobs can be easily had. 1t is
needless to say that this development
is disappointing to all who are sin
cerely interested in seeing the stand
ard of wages and of living advanced,
but 1t illustrates the fact that normal
progress is by gradual rather than
revolutionary processes"
The independence of labor is the
natural result of scarcity. The de-
mand for it has increased, while the
supply has been diminished both by

WESTERN MINING MEN TO ACT.

With the constantly broadening de-
velopment of the western mining in
dustry, new conditions are arising that
call for concerted action of mine OPP
orators. While the American Mining
congress, with its large and diversified
membership, is well equipped to look
after nation wide mining interests,
there is feeling among many of the
western mining men that distinc-
lively western association might be
better able to concentrate its activi-
ties and influence in way to obtain
greater and speedier results for the
mineralized west, says the Denver
Mining Record.
Among the matters that require at
tention at this time, and which par
ticularly affect the west, are the FOL
lowing: Tenderfoot legislation in con-
gress intended to benefit the mining
industry but really hurting it; the
need of a duty on tungsten and man
ganiferous ores; threatened inter-
nal revenue tax on the copper output;
a more equitable system of taxing pro-
ducing mines; requisite Investigations
and experiments under government
supervision in tile treatment of low
grade metalliferous ores; and num-
Der of other matters of enough i'm
portance to require intelligent han
ding by men who are thoroughly ia
milar with the needs of mining.
Alive to the existing situation, the
Colorado Metal Mining association has
annointed a committee to confer with

and moreover since
the first locomotive poked its

thousands of dollars are spent

Prosperous cities and towns,

COST OF MINING.
Details of Cost of Producing Lead In
Southeastern Missouri.

Cost of mining and delivering ore
to the mills in the lead district of
southeast Missouri averages IS cents
per ton, of which IL cents is paid to
miners extracting ore on contract by
"a per ton basis. Compressed air for
drilling costs cents per ton, and ex-
plosives s cents; the cost of keeping
roofs and backs safe is 3 cents. Tram
ming with mules or power haulage
underground costs 5 cents exclusive of
track work. Pumping costs s cents,
the amount of water raised in the dis
trict averaging $4,000 gallons per min
ute against a head of 500 feet. The
cost of diamond drilling and pros
pecting may add 5 to Is cents to this
amount. The output of ore per man
for all underground labor is about 81
tons per day; that for employees, in
Guiding those engaged In mines, mills,
and prospecting, is tons per man per
day.
