Ask A PEODLER ORDINANCE

In order to cooperate with the city
council, the Chamber Of Commerce
has named a committee of three mer-
chants-A. L. Harvey, Tom P. Lewis,
and E. E. Wood-who will meet with
a like committee from the council to
revise the city's occupation tax and to
provide for a stringent license to gov
ern all peddlers and agents of out-of-
town concerns. The committee will
also ask for an ordinance that will
permit Henry Horton, the city mar
shall, to work all city prisoners on the
streets at hard labor and on war ra-
tions during the period of the war
Horton is having many opportunities
to pick up work slackers and must
have some authority in the way OF an
ordinance.

GUERIN MEETING AT
THE TABERNACLE

Because of the fact that the Christ
ian people will not use their taber-
nacle for their revival meetings on
Friday night, June ID, national flag
day, the Madam E. Guerin patriotic
meeting will be held at the tabernacle
on West Eleventh street at 8 o'clock
D. m, that date, instead Of at the
Presbyterian church as heretofore an
nounced. The presiding officer will
be E. NJ. Richardson, cashier Of the
American National bank, who is the
local War Savings campaign chair
man. Because of the day being also
national flag day, an address on the
flag will be delivered by Attorney
Morgan of Galena, an eloquent speak
er who will follow Madam Guerin on
the program. There will also be sew
eral musical numbers, and altogether
il will be one Of the most interesting
patriotic meetings ever held in this To-
cality, and Madam Guerin is a speak
err that no citizen of Baxter Springs
can afford not to hear. She tells
chiefly of conditions among the
French people during the present war.
Madam Guerin will be introduced by
Rev. John Garretson, through whose
solicitation she is coming to our city.
There is no admission fee.

The Lincolnville Lead and Zinc
Company, whose lease is located in
The NWk of the SEA, Section 1-29-
"a, south of the TOWNSHIP Of Leadville,
has made a strike shaft that is Won
der. At a depth OF 80 feet u fair
grade of ore was discovered which
was a surprise, as the nearest drill
hole showed the ore bed to lie at a
depth of so feet. At the so foot level
The sinkers have found the rich stuff
registered by the drill hole, which ap-
pears to be almost solid jack Of very
high grade and as the drill showed 30
feet of jack, assaying l6 per cent, the
management is of the opinion that it
has one of the good ones. When ask
ed if a mill would be built, the Lin
colnville officers stated that a mill
would be built but not until a big lot
Of ore is placed on tou Of the ground,
which will be done with all haste.

The recent U-boat depredations just
out of the New York harbor, in which
ten vessels and three hundred and
fifty lives were lost, brings the war
several hundred miles closer to US
than it has ever been before. Air
raids on coast cities, are not impos-
sible, in fact, they are being expected
and anticipated in many Of the sea
towns. The fact that we are located
as far inland as it is possible to be
and consequently as far removed from
possible danger of this sort, ought to
serve to make our hearts beat the
truer to those who are in the danger
zones, and only strengthen our de-
termination to bend every effort in
Fastening the day of victory.-oswe-

MANY WILL MOVE HERE.
Round Trip Fare to Joplin from
Pitcher Is S1.1S-FrOm BaX-
ter Springs Is But Forty
Cents.

"All aboard for Picher," says the
conductor on the Rogers line this
morning. A thirty minute service has
been established now that the line is
completed into Picher. Several stories
az to last minute obstacles overcome
when the line built into Pitcher are
being circulated, but they receive but
scant interest in the face Of the larger
news of car service every thirty min
utes between Baxter Springs, Hooker
vile, St. Louis and Picher.
Quite deal Of Improvement on the
south end Of the line will be made
during the next few weeks but the
track and grade is amply substantial
to handle the traffic during the sum-
mer months. The trip from Picher
TO Carthage can be made without
change of cars. The first car passing
through Baxter Springs for Picher IN
the morning will be at $40 unless the
company decides to start a car from
Baxter Springs. The last car passing
through Baxter at night for Plcher
will be Mt 1850. The schedule will be
every half hour between the above
Siven times. Cars will leave Joplin
At twenty-five minutes and f1fty-hve
minutes after the hour and the trlT
Id baxter calls for 30 minutes; that Is
from the Conner Hotel to the corner
of Eleventh and Military streets IN
Baxter Springs. -.
The first car for Baxter Springs Will
leave Pitcher ut 6:10 q. M, and the
last at 11:10 p. m. This last car Will
only run to Webb City. Cars Will
leave Pitcher at 10 minutes and forty
minutes after the hour.
A point in the fares charged that
looks good to Baxter Springs is that
a round trip fareIfrOm Picher to Jop-
lin will cost $1.18 and round trip
fare from Picher to Baxter Springs
will cost but 40 cents. The fare be-
tween Baxter and HOckeville lV
cents and from Baxter to st. LOUIS
Is cents and from Baxter to Pichel
90 cents. Only 95 days were required
: by the interurban company to COM
plete the line between Baxter Spring
and Pitcher, a distance Of approximate
ely eight miles.
The Hockerville car, which has been
giving service between Baxter
Springs and Hockerville, was taken
of today and the crew given a regular
run on the through service. There
will be no change Of cars at Baxter
Springs now. The traffic has been
very heavy over the line and it is
thought that it will be much heavier
now. In fact it is time that the Eel
low at Pitcher who wanted to write
his poem on 1.-THE Passing OF the. Jit'
ney" got busy before the jitney is en-
tirely forgotten.

THE MINING NEWS
BY Frank Hills,
In Miami Record-Herald.

The Eagle-Picher Lead Company
has introduced mules in two of its
mines in Picher, the Meta and the
Bingham. No. not the two-leggcd
mules-men used in all of the 9th
err mines of the field to push cans
of dirt, but really, truly little mules.
Two diggings have been cut out
enough to make it Improbable to use
men to push the cans and the little
animals have taken their places, pull
ing from five to eight cans as easy
as q man can push one. The Record
Herald man visited the famous Netta
mine Friday to see the mules at their
work and is free to say that if he
were compelled to be mule he would
want to be one of those working IL
the Meta mine. The little long-eareI
animals are taken out of the ground
every twelve days to spend day, IN
obedience to the state law. They have
a special cage to ride in on their way
I'D and down and their feed lot ur-
foreground is all that mule could
wish for, plenty Of the best hay in the
manger, ground feed, consisting OF
oats, corn, bran. alfalfa and sorghum
molasses, mixed in their feed boxes
all of the time, and salt where they
can get it any time. The writer has
seen the great whips of the drivers in
the coal mines and noticed there were
none at the Meta. In answer to a
query on the latter, Ground Foreman
T. E. (Red) Robinson stated that his
men had no desire to use whip, rs
they could get more out of the ami
mails without a whip than with one
but that should one of them strike a
mule he might as well call for his
money, as it is bad enough to be a
mule and work underground without
being beaten. While mule can pull
eight carloads of ore in string, only
five are allotted to each and it is u
sipht to see the trained ones without
a bride or halter starting q load care
fully to keep it from derailing the
front car of the train and then hurry
ing to the shaft without word from
he driver. The mules have been in
he mines only about two weeks, but
while some of them were skinny
when they went down, they are all as
sleek MS moles now and perfectly con-
ented. Three of the five in the Meta
were trained thoroughly when they
were purchased by the Pitcher people
out the other two were taken from
delivery wagon and while they must
be driven with a pair of lines, they
have learned a great deal as they
seem to pick up thinks quicker below
the ground than above.

in the north part of the county and is
a lineal descendent Of everything
Scotch from Robert Bruce up and

Scotch would fight and how incOm-
parably superior they are to the Ger
mans. John finally finished the re-
lation of several stories Of Scotch SOL
der exploits on the western front by
the following: "Why, ! tell you, this
mon whipped seven of them and then
he took them prisOner-why he sur
rounded them and brought them all

The Tulsa-Sapulpa-Miami Associa-
ton Mines Company has begun sink
ing a shaft on its 4S acre lease i'm
mediately west of the Lucky Jack
lease at Hockerville, bounded on the
north by the Kansas line. The tract
has been thoroughly drilled out, q
holes having been put down, all OF
which are in ore, assaying from to
l6 per cent. The holes show two
faces of ore from 5 to IS feet, the
first at 155 feet and the second at 225
feet. It is claimed by the drillers that
the cuttings would have shown a
higher assay but for the crevices
and caves in which the ore is found
which would not allow the better
metal to be gotten out. The T. S. NJ
property is almost surrounded by
mills, there being Il within a radius
of a mile from the shaft that is be-
ing sunk. The officers and directors
