LUCK IN MINING

Deadwood Pioneer Times: There is
such an element as luck in mining, but
most of the profitable ore strikes are
made as a result Of scientific deduction
and skillful development work. In
mining, as in every other line Of en-
deavor, success cannot be left to the
yagaries of chance. For the same
basis, a man who trusted to luck in
stead Of careful planning and prosaic
effort to place him on "easy street,
might as reasonably expect to achieve
financial eminence through investing
in lottery tickets.
Mining is an industry in which
science is the controlling factor; and q
high order of technical knowledge and
executive abality is required of the man
who has charge of mining property
This axiom is now accepted as an es.
tablished truth, whereas in former years
almost any novice was thought fit to
guide the destinies of a mine.
Under the present order Of affairs
with scientific men in charge Of opera.
tions, much larger percentage Of prop
critics is making good than in former
years; and the general business manage
ment of most of the mining companies
is being conducted ON more efficient
principles, adding UNNECESSARILY to the
value of mining shares as an invest
ment.

AMERICAN CASUALTIES

Another chapter in Americas partici.

ton. Three American soldiers have
been killed by the Germans, five have
haen wounded and twelve have been
taken prisoner.
The casualties, just reported as hav.
ing occurred early on the morning of
November 8, are mere hint of those
that will come. The first American
casualty list is near nothing, compared
with those that will be received. The
lists will grow as the war proceeds, and
as more American boys get into action
ON the battle line. The people of the
United States must learn to accept
these things as mere matter of course.
The time will come, in the not distant
future, when casualty lists must be
received with no surprise, and with
little comment, except in cases where
particular individuals are concerned.
The London newspapers daily for more
than three years have carried huge
lists of casualties-names of killed,
wounded and missing.
The first three American deaths on
the field of battle caused the people to
stop and consider something of the sor'
rows which the war will bring to
American homes-homes which will in
the future be virtually countless be-
cause of the enormity of the casualties
which surely will arise.
The American people must prepare
themselves to calmly receive these re-
ports. They will come concerning
Idaho county boys-yes, Grangeville
boys But in order that We may win
tho war, all who suffer, through the
war, loss of those near and dear to
them, should suppress their grief. 1t is
one way for us at home to do our bit
toward winning the war.

A PATRIOTIC RANCHER

Down in the Salmon river country
there lives rancher who is a genuine
patriot. Never mind about his name.
He Ism Z the kind of citizen who seeks
TO advertise himself He is not max
ing big noise about the war, for he is
too old to shoulder a rifle and march
off with the boys to France. But he
is not too old to love the country which
has made it possible for this man to
accumulate a modest fortune and to do
his bit in opposing autocracy.
what are they going to do about
price regulations' he asked visitor the
other day, and then went on to tell that
he had read of the possibility that the
price of hogs would be reduced by the
government to 10 cents FOUND.
II just sold bunch of hogs that l
raised for 16 cents pound, this
patriot continued, "and when I sold
them I thought of the poor working
man in the industrial centers of the
east, who has to buy his meat, perhaps
at 40 or 80 cents a pound.
1--WE ranchers in the west are not
suffering from this war;" the patriotic
gentleman asserted. "Why, we are
living on the fat OF the land, and, while
my neighbors are receiving high prices
tor their produce, I might as well re-
ceive the same. But, by gum, I should
like to see the government cut the price
of hogs to 10 cents and give the con-
sumer chance to eat"
Idaho county should be proud to
claim such a citizen He is deserving
Of as much praise and honor as are the
boys who have enlisted in the cause Of
their country, and men of his type are
vastly more rare. Hats off to this Sal

BLISS AND PERsHINa

Anaconda Standard: President Will
son has signed commissions that raise
Majors General Pershing and Bliss to
the rank o.. full generals. These are the
first American soldier to attain such a
rank in time Of war It is worth while
to recall that the rank of lieutenant
general, given to Winfield Scott in 1852.
was revived for the benefit of General
Grant when he was placed in chief COM
mand in 1864. In 1866, the grade of
general was created by congress for the
first time and Grant was promoted to
it, being succeeded as the only lieuten-
ant general by General Sherman. When
General Grant became president. Gen
eral Sherman was elevated to the full
generalship. He was succeeded in the
highest military office below the presi.
dency bv General Sheridan in 1888. The
old grade of lieutenant general held bv
General Miles. was abolished in 1907.
IT is interesting to note that our three
former generals succeeded one another
in the title and that it was held by one
man at time. Now the rank is con-
ferred on the commander Of our expedi-
tionarv force and also upon the chief
of staff, the reason being obvious.

OUR ACCOUNT WITH BERLIN

New York World: To whatever ex-
tent Germany may belittle the mill
tary power of the United States, it
| must soon recognize our resources as
custodian. We found many fine Ger
man ships in our harbors and we have
put them in war-paint and will use
them as naval auxiliaries. On taking
account of stock, we also discover hun
dreds of millions Of German property
here of which we are to take possession.
Every ship once German will carry
troops and munitions to Europe and
every dollar that can be raised on prop
erty or credits once German will be put
in Liberty bonds. In this we exhibit
almost Teutonic efficiency in adapting
means to ends.
We are not a military nation and it
will take us quite a while to land s.
100000 men in Europe, but even the
most doubtful member of the general
staff in Berlin will appreciate the
celebrity with which we have put to the
best possible military employment such
German property as was within our
reach. IF the U-boats do not sink the
ships they will be faithfully returned.
somewhat the forse for wear, at the end
Of the war, and if the fight ends as we
think it will, the other property. in.
vested in the safest securities, will be
honestly carried on our books to the
credit on a nation against which we al
ready have big debit balance.
Thus our military power, before as
we'll as after the decision at arms, will
have been materially reinforced by our
short sighted friend, the enemy.
