significance of this probably escaped
many of those present, and yet it was
one of the most interesting features of
the occasion. The train made up with
steam on was symbolical Of the readi-
ness of the railroads to respond to the
service of the government. The loco
motive represented power, the car
loaded with coal stood for fuel, the
car loaded with lead-zinc ore for
munitions of war and the coach fol-
transportation of men for the army
and navy.

MARSH MILL.
Company Makes Satisfactory Run
Hscia Now Using Mill.

The Marsh Mining company COM
pleted Its first mill run under the joint
arrangement with the Hecla com
pany, and the latter company will now
run the mill until the first of June,
when the Marsh will again make a run
of 10 days. The actual time run by
the Marsh was only about week, the
amount of ore available not being
quite as much as estimated, and be-
sides there were the usual delays in
connection with getting the mine in
shape for production. Everything will
be in good shape when the mill is TAX
en- over on the first of June and dur
ing the 10 days the management ex-
poets to get through the maximum
amount of ore which will be about
2200 tons, The mill is doing excellent
work and turning out a high grade
concentrate.

The Northern Pacific has also had
trouble with water, but by transfer

between this city and Mullan, where a
washout prevented the train from 60

Wages have been advanced to meet the
increased cost of living in almost
every other line of industry, and the
new council very properly took adj
vantage of the first opportunity to
give subordinate city officers the ben

advance will also be given laborers
by the city, but this does not
require an ordinance The increase
can be made by the adoption of reso-
luton at any meeting of the council.

THE YELLOWSTONE TRAIL

MUST AVOID HEAVY DANGEROUS
GRADES-NEW ROAD By
LOLO PASS.
TT is PLAIN that the Yellowston

TT is PLAIN that the Yellowstone
Trail is going to have plenty of
competition for the automobile
travel to and from the coast, and
il the boosters for that thoroughfare
through this county expect to make
1t the popular route, they must al
least make ii the equal of its rivals In
the matter of roadbed, grades and in
all respects conducive to safety and
comfort of the tourists. When the
traveller going east reaches Spokane
he has the choice of two routes across
Idaho, the Yellowstone trail through
Shoshone county and the National
Parks highway to the north, and as it
is generally understood that Spokane
is pulling for the latter, the Yellow
stone route must depend largely upon
a superior road and scenic attractions.
A similar situation is presented when
the tourist coming west reaches Mis-
soula. where the Yellowstone trail and
National Parks highway part COM
pany. What the attitude of Missoula
is on the road question Is in doubt
but unless the road is changed from
the inaccessible route to Lookout pass,
it Is folly to expect Missoula or Spo-
kane either to recommend the Yellow
stone trail And now to make the
road situation more interesting, Mis-
soula expects to have a third road
next year which will cross Idaho by
way of Lolo pass and which 1t Is
claimed will shorten the distance to
the coast by several hundred miles. or
this proposed road the Missoulian of
last Tuesday says:
loio Pass Highway.
THE first step tending towards the
construction of the Lolo pass highway,
which will connect Missoula with the
Columbia road, and shorten the auto
mobile route to the. coast by several
miles, was taken yesterday,
when the offices Of public roads re-
ceived orders from the office of en-
or the forest service to make
a reconnaissance survey of the Lolo
pass project.
"The Idaho state highway commits

r7HE ACTION of the o.-w. r. &

70HE ACTION of the O.W. r. &
n. company in the matter OF
building railroad up Pine creek
Is being awaited with much in
terest not only by the mine owners OF
that section, but by the people of the
district generally. 1t is probable that
the report of Albert Burch, who COM
pleted a thorough investigation of the
available tonnage on behalf of the
railroad company about ten days ago
Is now in the hands of Mr.. Farrell
president of the railroad company, and
an announcement of what the COM
pany proposes to do may be expected
at any time. Naturally no intimation
has been given out that would indi-
cate the substance of Mr.. Burch's re-
port, but there is feeling that is
quite general that 1t will fully justify
the railroad company in building the
railroad without further delay Mr..
Burch Is well known in this district,
having been manager of the Bunker
Hill & Sullivan, and has had occasion
to become thoroughly informed on the
mineral resources and possibilities Of
the district in the course of his work
as mining engineer Whatever his
report on Pine creek, 1t may be ac-
copied as the last word on the sub
ject,
Survey for Tramway.
But railroad companies do not al
ways build even when the business in
sight justilies it. so In order to be pre-
pared for such a contingency, the
Stewart Mining company. which re-
Gently acquired the Nabob and Denver
groups and which is preparing to build
a mill to handle the ore from those
properties, has made surveys from the
Nabob millsite. on Pine creek, to Gov
eminent gulch to connect with the
Sweeny spur about a mile from the
main line. The length of the tramway
proposed would be about three miles.
The Stewart company owns the On
tario mill and 1t is regarded possible
the tramway that this mill will be re-
built with enlarged capacity and pro-
vided with equipment for the separa-
tion and recovery of both lead and
zinc. The mill is now adapted to lead
only. 1t is also regarded as possible
that the Stewart company may take
over the Sweeny mill. If the Stew
art company finds it necessary to con-
struct the tramway, 1t is possible that
other Pine creek companies may join
in the enterprise. However, the i'm
preston prevails that the report of
Mr.. Burch will be followed by definite
announcement that the O.-W r, & N.
company will build the Pine creek
branch this summer.

almost the same form we're re-

This is not a statistical argu.

This is not a statistical argu-
ment to prove the strength of
cotton on it's own merits; it is an !
appeal to the reason and the man
hood of the cotton people. The
purpose of this statement is not
to show why the price of cotton
should advance but how the
price may be made to advance.
ThAse are the facts that should
be Impressed upon all concerned.
Whether we have war or not
there is hardly enough cotton in
existence to supply the demands
of the currenv trade year. There
is therefore no reason why the
remnant of last years crop, con-
sidered by itself, should be de-
rreciated. On the contrary
there is every reason why a crop
which carries no surplus should
command high prices. The
significance of this fact has been
obscured by the universal as
sumption that the acreage to be
planted in cotton for the coming
year will be abnormally increas-
ed and that in consequence a
materially larger crop than the
lastis probable. The vision of
a bumper crop coming in pre-.
carious future casts the shadow
of fear upon the distracted pres
ent. But suppose this status
should be reversed? Suppose
the fear should fall upon the
consuming element of the cotton
trate thai there would be no in
crease in acreage but a reduc-
tion rather, and that in conse-
quence another famine crop was
probable? Suppose the farmers
the bankers and the merchants
