CREDIT TO PROFESSION.

Dowa in Kansas City the other
day. a newspaper reporter went to
jail rather than reveal the source Of
information which he had obtained
under pledge Of confidence.
Every decent newspaper man would
do the same. The law doesn't recog-
nize the condolences given to news
paper reporters as 1t does those TO
doctsrs, lawyers and clergymen, but
the self-respecting newspaper man
has lust as much pride in his profess
sion as any self-respecting lawyer,
doctor or minister.
Tha employers Of this Kansas City
man should be proud Of him. He's
en- asset to his paper and q credit to
his profession.

NEUTRAL RIGHTS AND NEU-
TRIAL PRIVILEGES.

In commenting on the embargo
plans Of the United States govern
ment, under which coal will be
denied neutral ships trading between
South America and Scandinavia un-
less their cargoes are inspected, The
Lisbon Free Press thinks it "ac-
centuates the great gulf between our
demands and claims previous to the
war and our position now.
Now we seem to be veering to
the opposite doctrine that the neu-
trails have no rights that a strong
and powerful nation is bound to re-
spect' is its comment.
The Free Press is evidently sincere
in its protest against interference
with neutral trade. but does this en-
barge constitute interference?
Il does not say that this trade
shall not continue. It does not close
the seas to Scandinavian vessels. but
1t does say that Uncle Sam viii not
provide coal to carry greatly needed
supplies to his enemy through the
Scandinavian underground route.
Buying American coal is not a neu-
trai fright" but a privilege. and Just

PROTECT THE HONEST MAN.

AS a measure of protection to the
great majority of drafted men who
would scorn to seek exemption by
dishonest afidavits. some machinery
should be available for checking ur
the statements made in all exemption
affidavits.

Fargo Rotary club DR.. P. H. Burton

dents that had come to his attention
as examining physician. eliminating
the names Of those who figured in
them. The incidents provided any
proof that was needed to show that
few men are not above resorting to
perjury to secure exemption.
One father swore that his son was
only 20 years Of age, although he had
voted in Fargo. Another swore that
he had a wife and child to support,
when 1t was shown his wife had left
one which was later reclaimed by the
home from which it had been taken.
The United States attorneys Office
Is vested with the duty of prosecut-
ing such cases when evidence is
brought to its attention. but neither
the local board nor the state board
has any time to investigate every
affidavit made.
There is a chance here to render
valuable service to the drafted men.
1t is not a pleasant job to play the
part of a sleuth questioning the
sworn statements of fellow citizens,
but it is a very necessary job. If the
operation of the draft law is to be
kept above suspicion. some such or
ganization as the patriotic league
formed at Grand Forks, is necessary,
and this should be one of it's duties.
It Is possible that an existing organ
ization might take over the task.

Since my return from France,

statesmen and generals, and with
British commanders as we'll, it has
been more and more impressed on
me that every American who has had
opportunities to peep behind the
scenes and see for himself how this
terrible tragedy was staged owes it
to his fellow countrymen to give
| them all the information in his
possession which will enable them to
visualize the menace that has been
hanging over the great republic and

Prussian mania for world power. The
| generalization is now proved, and
any American who withholds evil
dence becomes an accessory after the
fact to Germany's crime.

Four solid trainloads of beans from
the Orient, valued at over a million
dollars and constituting the largest
single movement of this commodity
ever coming to the United States have
arrived in San Francisco to be trans
shipped by the Western Import com
pany to eastern markets. The South
ern Pacific has already started one
train of twenty mine cars over it's
Ogden route to New York. Three
others will be required for the total
shipment which amounts to $4,000
bags.
The consignment being handled
by the Western Import Company
which has been working for the last
seven years to introduce them in

from Japan on the steamship Kotsu

The beans are of all varieties and
their appearance here is one of the
new developments that the European

COLD TEA IS
NOW So A PINT

HAYDEN, Ariz., April 27.-General
indignation is expressed over the low
down trick of a so-called bootlegger,
who swindled certain parties belonging
to this vicinity out of considerable
sum of money. 1t seems that one
night last week these parties, being
down where the lights are bright and
the music is gay, felt the need of
liquid refreshment, and started out to
find a bootlegger. At length they
came upon an individual of mysterious
appearance, and almost hidden by the
darkness who, upon being informed
of the party's Wishes produced a num-
ber half pint flasks, which he sold
them at five dollars each, the standard
price for bootlegger's whiskey, it is
said. The sale completed, the myster-
ious unknown cautioned his customers
to be careful
"Now, boys" says he. Don't you go
and git too drunk. Be reasonable, take
your little nip, an go home quiet"
The boys did not perceive the biting
sarcasm that underlay these friendly
words until they started to take a
drink, and found that the bottles con-
tanned nothing but TEA

ARIZONA GEMS HAVE
CONSIDERABLE VALUE
ON NATION MARKET

The best known gems found in Ari-
zona are the turquoise, garnet, peri
dot, chrysocola, ayr -malachite, mall
chite, agate, chalcedony, amethyst
inc, quartz, diamond (meteoric) dip
tose and topaz, says a bulletin of the
State Bureau of Mines.
Most of the gems are precious
stone found in Arizona are merely by
products of the mining of other sub
stances, and are sorted out from poor
er specimens. The turquois, garnet
and peridot are mined sepletayraubn
There are several companies that have
produced turquois in Arizona The
garnets are gathered from the sand
and gravel beds in which they are most
commonly found.
In preparing precious stones for
market, the best specimens are first
selected, cleaned, cut in various
shapes and polished Poorer speci-
mems are also cut and polished, or
vate and public collections.
Wholesale prices of gems-Tur-
quoise is worth up to $1OO a pound at
the mine, in the rough, but usually is
less valuable. Matrix material brings
from SIS to $25 pound. Cut matrix
turquoise costs from ten cents to ten
dollars a carat. Cut clear blue tur-
quoise costs from 81 to $40 a carat
the price increasing with size. When
cut in large quantities, stones may be
cut for three to five cents a carat.
Garnet is sold in the rough as sin
gle stones, and brings price rather
less than one-fifth the price of cut
stone. Cut pyropene garnets are
worth from so cents to 81 a carat, de-
pending on the quality Almandine
garnets, if resembling the emerald,
cost $12 to SIS carat. The cost of
cutting is 81 to $1.5O per carat.
Peridot is also sold as separate
stones. Cut material runs from 81 to
SIS a carat; SIS usually buys good
stone. Cutting costs from 81 to $15O
a carat.
Copper bearing stones, excluding
high grade malachite, sell for about
$40 pound. When cut they are sold
by the stone rather than by carat, and
are sold so as to make a profit. No
definite price can be set. They cost
for cutting.
Chalcedony, unless of the turtle
back variety, is hardly worth 81 per
pound. Cut material is hardly worth
the cost of cutting, which is to 10
cents carat. Turtle back variety
brings SIS or more for stone.
Amethystine quartz is almost val
ueless except as mineral specimens
unless it holds color. The cut Ameri-
can material is hardly worth more
than the cost of cutting. But foreign
material may be worth 81 a carat
when cut. The cost or cutting is
from SO cents to 81 a carat.
Topaz is bought by the single stone.
Fine gem crystals, when colored, may
be worth $50 to $100. Cut material
in dark blue shades brings $40 to $25
carat; the fine golden yellow brin
81 carat; diamond cut white stones
bring 81 to So a carat. The cost of
cutting is about 81 a carat.

AN OPTIMIST

The optimist belongs to the "O-Be-
Joyful Brigade" He knows there is
bright side to everything, and he
sprains his eyesight looking for it. No
odds how cloudy the day, he says,
"Cheer upi-the sun is shining some
where!" If he accidentally gets an
arm taken off, he says, Gee, I'm glad
it wasn't my head!" If he can't sing,
he whistles. You may knock him
down, but he'll never take the count.
If he makes a mistake, he says, Look
at the experience 1 got!" He has so
many friends he can't count em.
Everybody is always glad to see him
come and sorry to see him go. He
sheds trouble as a ducks back sheds
water. When he sees you moping in
the shade he cries, .'Come out here in
the sun-it's great" Instead of cry
ing over spilled milk he forgets it and
resolves to keep the lid on the milk
can next time. He believes a smile is
a good thing, and for that reason
passes it along. You can hear him
laugh a mile off, and you're sorry when
the echoes die away-he's not afraid
of breaking his face. Rich or poor,
sick or WELL full or hungry, tired or
rested, day in and day out, from one
years end to the other, the optimist
is full of hope, joy and cheer. Be an
optimist. Shake your crouch. Be happy
while you're here. Smile, you n-of-
gun. SMILE!

INJURED MEN
STILL IN SERVICE

More than three hundred employees
of the Southern Pacific company who
have had the misfortune to suffer per-
manent injuries are still rendering ac-
ceptable service and earning better
wages than they received before they
were injured
This interesting statement is issued
by the Southern Pacific company as
proof of the sympathetic considera-
tion shown to members of it's big
family. 1t shows further that even in
this era of strenuous competition for
daily bread, place of usefulness and
happiness may still be found for the
man who has his courage left to take
advantage of the helping hand ex-
tended to him.
There are 30S employees of the Grip
pied class now in the Southern Pa
cific Company's service, and of these
43 or IA per cent have risen in grade
and 115 or At per cent have retained
their original positions in the service.
There are 128 earning more pay than
before injury, and 92 receiving the
same salary. Most of the injuries
caused amputation for arm or leg
though many brought impairment or
loss of vision.
The railroad companys aims8s that
wherever possible to retain an injured
employe in service, thus encouraging
his ambition and giving him the Op
and support those dependent upon him.

HAYDEN CONCENTRATES

]. w. Bradley, formerly in the en-
ploy of the Ray Consolidated Copper
company, was in Hayden a couple of
days last week, attending to some busi-
ness matters. Mr.. Bradley, it will be
remembered, resigned his position here
to accept one-as statistician with the
State Tax Commission. 1t seems,
however, that no sooner had he started
in on his new duties than he received
telegraphic offer from mining COM
pany in Oatman Not particularly
caring for the offer, Mr.. Bradley
thought to sidetrack it by naming a
salary so high that the other parties
would not care to meet it, To his in
tense surprise, however, his bluff was
called the position being offered him
again at the figure named. There was
nothing to do, therefore, but to accept,
and Mr. Bradley accordingly resigned
his Phoenix job, and is now in Oatman,
feeling that he must do his best to
merit the high opinion his new en-
ployers evidently have of him.
