CANARY Rises TO PROTEST
Declares Increase in Cost of Living
Has Been Excessive, and Gives
Figures to Prove 1t.

Among the latest to protest against
the habit of raising prices, simply be-
cause the raised price can be secured,
there was heard, recently, new voice.
1t was that of canary. Reing a bird
whose motto had ever been: "Strict
application to business" 1t had been
his custom, when the rest of the fam
lily left the city during the summer
and shut up the house. to board him
self out. Two years ago, he could he
says, get good accommodation, an airy
room with a sunny aspect good seed,
water, bath, and unrestricted oppor-
tunity for vocal exercise for thirty
cents week. Last year, however, the
charge for the same accommodation
was raised to forty cents, and this year
1t appears he has been obliged to pay
fifty cents. He is willing, he declares,
to sustain his share of the burden of
the war, but he regards a &C per cent
rise as unduly hard on bird Of mod

countenance or condohe his offense by
discussing 1t. from any angle whatso-

to allow no degree of friendllness. even

After lapse Of time they dropped
into another valley, and faced west
ward to n mountain range which Bill
told her was the Rockies. The next
day n snowstorm struck them. 1t was
not particularly cold. Bill wrapped
her in heavy canvas coat, and plod-
ded on. Noon passed. and he made
no stop. If anything, he increased his
pace.
Suddenly. in the late afternoon, they
stepped out of the timber into u little
clearing. in which the blurred outline

lifted her down from Silks back with
out the formality of asking her leave.
He pulled the latchstring. and led her
in. Beside the rude stone fireplace
wood and kindling were piled In readi-

shut, dropped on his knees and started
the fire. In five minutes great blaze
lenped and crackled into the wide
throat of the chimney. Then he piled
on more wood. and turned to her.

California Mineral Output Greatest

Report of the State Mining Bureau
Shows That California is Going
Ahead in Production of Petroleum

anu DdSc anu 1CSAOuo InNtoAo
Sacramento, Jan. 18.-The statigti-
cal division of the State Mining Bu-
reau, under the direction Of Fletcher
Hamilton, state mineralogist, has
made a careful estimate, from infor-
nation now available, of the mineral
production of the state for the year
1917, lust closed. The estimate is i'll
advance of the actual figures, which
will be available later. The indica-
tions are that the total for all pro-
ducts, metallic and non-metallic, will
reach figure approXimating $142,
100000, as against a total of $127,
9O1,61O in 1916, when for the first
time in the history of the state it
exceeded $10O,000,000 in value.
The major portion of the increase
is due to petroleum, the output Of
which increased about 100000 bar
lels in quantity and at least 25 per
cent in price per barrel. Gold fell off
slightly on account of the labor scar
city ard the higher costs of supplies.
Of the other important metals,
tungsten and zinc apparently de-
creased about one-half in value; =
yer decreased slightly in amounk
hut in creased in value, because of
hioher prices; copper increased to
about $57,OO0,0O0 pounds and s15,-
100000; lead more than doubled in
value; quicksilver increased to at
least $4,000 flaks and $2,200,0O0. The
price of this last-named metal closed
The year on a firm market at %1l5
per flask. As to chromite, magnesite
and manganese, it is too early yet
to obtain definite data as to the
amounts, but all three will show ma
terial increases, and it seems likely
that their total value will reach at
least s3,SeO,OOO, an increase Of over
81 100000.
The estimated values for 1917 are
tabrlated as follows:
