GREAT ANACONDA STACK
HIGHEST IN THE WORLD
SYSTEM OF TREATING GASES
WILL RECOVER ARSENIC
DIMENSIONS.

The highest stack in the world has
Just been completed by the Anaconda
Copper Mining company at the Wa
shoe snelter at Anaconda. The An.
aconda Standard makes the grea,
tower the subject of full-page H..
lustration, which also shows the old
stack which it supplants in compari-
son, and gives the following interest
ing facts:
Twice Height Of Old One.
Towering nearly twice the height OF
its predecessor which had stood as a
landmark in the Deer Lodge valley
for a decade and half, the new
brick stack at the Washoe reduction
works of the Anaconda Copper Min
ing company has been completed. 1t
is the tallest stack in the world by a
dozen feet, and in other dimensions
is immensely greater than its neal :
est rivals.
Recover Arsenic.
Conducted through vast flue sys-
TEN from the furnaces the smoke will
pass into chambers where will hang
Ill miles of chains, electrified by a
high tension current. All the particles
in the gases are electrified by contact
as they pass through the links, and
are violently repealed to be attracted
by great plates between which the
chains are suspended; these plates are
grounded to form a negative pole.
When they are thickly coated the cir
culation will be diverted, the current
will be shut off and the accumulations
will drop into the hoppers from which
they will go to special reverbera-
tory furnace for treating The gases
from these furnaces will pass to a
new arsenic plant for precipitation
before returning to the main flue sys-
tenn.
From the base Of the old stack, the
dower part of which will be retained
as part of the flue when the structure
Is RACED, the extension passes in a
double structure between the two
sections of the smoke treaters, with
ground dimensions Of 10 by $40 feet,
and each containing two units. There
are 20 chambers to which the gases
will be diverted through a sort of
shutter valve, and whence they will
emerge to pass out through the stack
after the electrical separation.
Dimensions and Materials Used.
Remeasurements made as check
showed the exact height of the stack
to be 5S5 feet 1A inches. The out
side diameter of the stack at the base
is So feet and the inside diameter rs
feet 4 inches, the walls being feet
inches thick at this point. The inside
diameter at the top is so feet.
The concrete base of the stack, bull,
in the form of truncated octagonal
pyramid, contains 5000 cubic feet, fol
which 20,491 sacks of cement were
used In the mortar for laying the
brick 1884 sacks of cement were re-
quired. The stack contains 2,446,392
brick of varying sizes and shapes
most of them large, so the total fig.
ure represents the equivalent of g.
672,214 common brick, two by four by
eight inches in dimensions.
The capacity per minute Of the
treaters and stack will be, according
to the engineers estimates, 100000
cubic feet of hot gas, mixed with L.
600, 900 cubic feet of cooling air.

ANALYSIS OF OFFICIAL RETURNS
THROWS LIGHT ON POLL.
TICS OF IDAHO.

Dopesters have been trying, ever
since November 5, to figure out the
strength of the republican, democrat.
ic, nonpartisan and socialist parties in
Idaho, but until official returns were
counted definite totals were lacking
says the Boise Statesmans
plicated this year because the nom
partisan league, which admittedly alb
sorbed the entire socialist vote of the
state, split its Endorsements between
both old parties. A comparison of
the votes given to the republican cam
didates for the United States senate
and the republican candidate for gov
ernor indicates the following party
strength.

and are generally determined from re-
ports made by producers and selling
agencies. Both the New York and st.
Louis prices Of lead are given, the Diff
ference being due mainly to the differ
ence In freight between the two points.
The quotations for spelter are for
prime western brands. To arrive at
the New York price add 35 cents per
100 pounds to the St. Louis price.
The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1918-12-05

Judged on this basis, the nonparti-
san league has probably $4,000 voting
strength, instead Of the 10000 claimed
by the league managers. Many fig
ures, contests and comparisons bear
this out, and it is strikingly confirmed
by the fact that constitutional amend
ment No. 1, the amendment asking for
a constitutional convention, received
only $1,000 votes. This amendment
was one particularly favored by nom
partisan league leaders and members,
and probably polled the full nonpar-
tisan strength, plus scattering 1000
votes from both other parties.
The Borah Vote.
On the basis of $4,000. of which
$4,000 were republicans, Senator Bo-
rah's $1,000 supporters at the polls
were probably made UP as follows:

on the streets found that their lower
extremities rested on a large cake Of
ice when called before the jury. At
least they forgot al they ever knew re-
.garding this affair. In fact some of
them seemed to have never heard of
such an institution as the county IN
firmary or of such a man as Jacob
Thesis.
The jury however declared there has
been much mismanagement and an ut
ter disregard of the law in connection
with the institution and roundly scored
the county commissioners for this as
they are responsible for everything
pertaining to the institution. The
jury says that during Thesis admin
istration packages were sent away
under suspicious circumstances. They
recommend that the practice of
County Commissioners accepting fa-
vors from appointees be stopped.
What the jury meant by this of course
is beyond comprehension. The jury
also recommends that the custom of
serving an elaborate meal to the
Grand Jury upon its annual visit to
the infrmary be discontinued This
meal is supposed to make a jurymen
forget any signs of neglect of the in
mates or of any mismanagement

which he previously observed. Of
themselves with chicken and other
good things, not counting the wet
goods and ten-cent cigars, the inmates
enjoyed their usual potato soup and

The jury fur,her says that Thesis
should have been discharged before he
resigned Two additional bills of in
dictment We're returned against Thesis
for embezzlement. These indictments
were for the selling of two calves, one
for $35 and one for $12 and for which
no accounting has been made. His
friends say these transactions can be
explained, as Thesis turned in several
lump sums of money in which these
items were included.

Colored Man Shot Last Night

Fred Randall colored, was last
night shot, and it is believed NOR
tally wounded, by Wesley Smith, al
so colored Randall was taken to
the Cambridge Hospital, where sew
eral doctors stated that he might be

slight Randall seems to be getting
along fairly well this morning.

Brannock, where he is held, await

was accidental
Randall and Smith were in house
on Park Lane, when Randall took a
revolver from his pocket and threw
it upon the bed. Smith picked it up
and went into the next room. Ran
dali followed a few minutes later,
and when he reached the door, Smith
raised the gun and fired, striking
Randall in the region of the heart.

How 10 Can Peas

Green peas are among the most
difficult vegetables to can at home.
Absolute cleanliness, quick work, at
tention to every detail, are essentials
to success. Only young and very
freshly gathered peas should be cam
ed. Peas are best gathered in the
early morning when cool. Work
rapidly from the moment they are
gathered. Peas should not stand af-
ter being shelled. Get them into the
previously boiled jars as rapidly as
possible. Shell and sort, putting
only peas of the same size and de-
gree of ripeness together. Do not
use hard, mature peas among tender
ones or big peas with very small
ones.
Blanching Clipping into hot wa
teri is very important. If well done,
| it prevents cloudy liquor, makes the
peas tender, and also removes some
of the gluey substance which coats
them.
Blanch by dipping the shelled peas
in a clean cheesecloth sack, into boil
ing water one to four minutes, de-
pending on the age of the peas. Put
instantly, while hot, into cold water
C teaspoonful salt to l quart wa
teri and remove after about thirty
seconds.
Drain and pack to within one-half
inch of the top of the previously
boiled jar. If the jar is filled too
full, few peas at the top may burst
and make the liquor cloudy. Add
seasoning (one-third level teaspoon
full salt and two-thirds level teaspoon
full sugar to the quartz and fill with
hot water and paddle well to remove
all air bubbles. Partially seal jars.
Processing with team under pres
sure is recommended. Process plnts
As minutes under pressure of 10 lbs.
Seal Immediately, cool in draft-free
place. When cold test for leaks, and
store in a cool, dark, dry place.
If the intermittent boiling process
is used, boil for 80 minutes on the
first day, and 60 minutes on the sec
ond and third days. Before each
subsequent boiling the covers must
be loosened, and after each boiling
the covers must be securely tighten
ed to make sealing complete. Cool,
test for leaks, and store.
If single7period boiling process
is used, place jars in the Gamer and
boil for at least three hours. Seal,
cool, test, and store.-U. S. Depart

GERMAN BLOW FAILS
(By Associated Press. }

Furiously launching new attacks
against the Allid positions on the
Marne (Mairn) front from Chateau
Thierry (Shotto-tee-a-ree) to Rheims
(Rons), the Germans are continuing
their efforts to break through the
French and American defense. They
have made progress, but it has been
slow, compared with the sweep of
the Teutonic legions in their attacks
in Picardy. Flanders and along Aisne
(Ain.)
The enemy, after crossing the
Marne between Dormans iDor-man)
and Chatillon (Shan-tee-yon), has
reached the villages of St. Agnan
(Sant-Anyan), lie Chapelle (Lah
Shap-peD and Monthodon (Mon-to-
dom, mile and three-quarters
south of the river, but here he has
been held up.
Just to the northeast, the Ger
mans traversed the BouQuigny (Boo-
keenye) Woods, but on the southern
side were stopped.
West of Dormane, which is twenty
four miles east of Chateau Thierry,
American troops hold the line. I'm
official advices say they have retaken
the villages of Fossoy (Fos-swa) and
Crezancy (Kray-Zahn-see) south of
the Marne, where the Germans gain
ed ground yesterday.
The French official report says the
Germans are driving toward the
Marne at Chatillon. Only at one
point, mile and half from Chatil-
lon, did they advance. From that
point to Rheims there is no change.
The deepest penetration along the
line is 81 miles.
East of Rheims, the French battle
positions are declared intact. The
Germans have not been able to ad-
vance south further than the out
skirts of the woods that parallel the
ancient Shaussee Romaine (Show-
say Roman), the main highway east
ward from Rheims. They are being
held along this line as far as the re-
gion north of Sufppe (Sweep), which
l'marks the easterly limits of the bat
| tie.
The Germans are more than TWEEN
| ty-four hours Dehin dschedule. The
battle is not over. 1t is possible the
German High Command has not play
ed its trump cards. Nevertheless,
there is feeling of satisfaction over
the first phases of the new drive.
German artillery is reported as ac-
tive along the north British front.
In Ataly and in the Macedonian
theatre, the fighting activity has moi
been great. British troops have made
a slight advance near Villers-Bre-
tonneuX (Veelya-Bret-ton-yo south
of the Somme. Lively local fighting
has occurred on the Italian noun
tain front, but with no change in
! the situation. In Albania French
detachments continue to press back
