REPUBLICANS AT WORK ON RAILROAD PROBLEM

WASHINGTON, May 2S.-T be- lieve that every effort should be made and will be made to dispose of the railroad question:" said Senator Cum mins of Iowa, who will be the new chairman of the senate interstate com merce committee and who has just re- turned to Washington. Much work has been done on the bill which I pro- pose to introduce. 1 hope to complete it in short time and to present it to this session.
 "The conditions in regard to the railroads are growing worse con- stantly. They are worse than the pub lie generally realizes or than anyone realizes who has not given the sub ject close attention. At the rate the roads are running behind, the deficit this year will be far greater than it was last. Then it was 5000, ,O0O. The railroad administration, have no doubt, will make another increase in rates. You will recall that predict ed months ago that rates would be raised still higher"
 While fully realizing that the prob lem of dealing with the great trans p ,rtation system of America is a vast one, Senator Cummins feels confident that it can be solved and that it will be solved by this Congress. He sees a strong tendency toward an agree ment of thought on certain basic prin- clples and because of this tendency he is hopeful that before many more months have elapsed the country may be in fair way to be lifted out of the slough of despond into which it has been sunk by the men responsible for the present condition of things.

STAGGERING LOSSES BY
 FIRE IN THIS COUNTRY

Losses by fire in the United States and Canada during the calendar year of 1918 reached the enormous sum of S317, 7,O14 1885. The Commercial and Financial World says this is the larg- est amount for any one year in the history of the country, with the ex- ception of 1906, the San Francisco conflagration year, when the total was $459,710,000. The fire losses for the year were approximately fifty mil lion dollars in excess of those of the preceding year. While this increase is very large, it is to a very great ex- tent due to the higher values prevail ing, and fire underwriters believe when the complete details of 191S's record are available it will be found that the actual destruction of prop erty, aside from war munition works, was less than in the preceding year. The forceful campaign for the re- duction of the country's fire waste which has been carried on with un- remitting energy since the war began by the national board of fire under writers, with the cooperation of the engineers and field staff of it's mem- bers, has undoubtedly largely reduced the fire losses from what they other wise would have been. This is clearly indicated in the reports of losses to the companies throughout the year. Many underwriters have remarked the decided reduction in the number of claims and reports of fire losses, but that the individual claims for larger amounts, the latter feature being practically wholly due to the excess sive high values now prevailing.
 The average annual fire waste in the United States and Canada has been somewhat increased by the 1918 record. The aggregate fire losses for the past forty years, from 1879 to 1918, inclusive, reach the vast total of $6, ,762, ,966, ,045, showing an average annual destruction of property to the value of S169,O74,151. The national board of fire underwriters recently compiled an analysis of the causes of fires during 1916 and 1917 in twenty states, with the result that it was demonstrated that of the fires in these states. during 1916 about so per cent were from preventable or partly pre- ventable causes, while in 1917 the percentage had been reduced to 77 per cent. However, should even the latter be taken as guide to the pre- ventable fires of the country during the past forty years, the World says, it would show that no less than $5,207 ,4S3,000 worth of property had been destroyed during that time which should have been saved, a rather se- rious reflection on the general care lessness of the nation.

stampedes, and fortunes. Today 92 cents would produce profit for the big producers of mixed" ores who de- velop silver as "side issue"; but even Sl is not attractive and silver miners found increasing costs ate up the profits and destroyed the lure of the game. The government is slow in returning the silved loaned to it dur ing the war and inaction has been so marked during the past six months that even China's offer of $1.06 last week failed to encourage big move ment.
 "Wages will go back to reasonable scale, based on costs and profits said leading silver producer at the Amer ican mining congress headquarters, "and the open market will bring silver to $1.10 plus before long, and then you will see many of the old camps come to life. and the big producers unwater their neglected mines. It will be a big day for the West when that happens" 1"
 Mexico, once great silver produc- ing country, is so badly disorganized as the result of the continuous in- tenecine strife, that very little silver has been produced from her mines during the past four years and she is now a negative quantity. Tonapah and Cobalt, the two big producing dis tricts in North America, have passed the peak of their production and the fact that there has been a general slowing down of copper and lead, with which silver has been an important by product, has resulted in well-nigh exhausted market and opens the way for quick rise in the white metal when labor costs can be adjusted. The annual demand for silver totals $50 million ounces, an excess of ITO mill lions ounces above the annual produc- tion figures, which indicate that the silver miner will have his inning when once the upward movement begins.

SENATOR'S JONES AND NORRIS
 TAKE NOVEL TRIP AT PANAMA

WASHINGTON, May 2S.-Old Bal boa, staring at the Pacific from the heights of the Isthmus of Panama, had nothing on Senators Jones of Wash ington and Norris of Nebraska, when they were in the canal zone about two weeks ago.
 They crossed the Isthmus in sea plane, skimming close to the waters of the canal, and following its course from one end to the other. They swooped down into Culebra Cut and fitted over Gatun Lake. They then ascended high enough to command a splendid view of the Pacific.
 Magnificent; wonderful" they both said.
 After that they went to Colon and took an undersea trip in submarine

ROOSEVELT AND THE
 CROOKED TREASURER

When Col. Roosevelt was governor of New York state, charges were pre- ferred to the governor against the treasurer of county in the western part of the state, to the effect that the latter had retained certain fees for his own use that belonged to the county. These charges were admitted and the money in question was turned over to the county treasury. But the charges against the treasurer were still before the governor. The speak CT of the assembly was close per sonal friend of the officer in question and had the ear and sympathy of Gov ernor Roosevelt. Finally the time came for hearing in the executive chamber. The treasurer and his at torney were present; so were the com plainant and his attorney; so was the speaker who had explained to the gov ernor that the treasurer, instead of attempting fraud, had merely followed a precedent of long standing which never before had been questioned.
 The hearing, therefore, was quite informal; the sympathy of the gov ernor being clearly with the defendant and when the treasurer's attorney ob- jected to some of the statements made by the attorney for the complainant, Governor Roosevelt remarked
 "Oh, don't be too technical about that. You see, you have the sym pathy of the court"
 Finally, merely as an incident, the fact was brought out that the treas urer had received gift of $1O0 from the cashier of a certain bank in the county, in which the treasurer had de- posted public funds.
 "What's that! Whats that!" ex- claimed the governor. Do you mean to say that this man accepted gift from the cashier of a bank with which the county was doing business" ?"
 "Yes," was the answer.
 "Then I shall remove him immedi- ately regardless of everything else"
 The climax came in an instant. The hearing was closed and the speaker of the assembly, the deposed county treasurer and his attorney left the ex- ecutive chamber overwhelmed by the impulsive act of the governor, the jus tice of which they could not question

SILVER AT $l.1O
 BRINGS LIFE TO OLD /
 CAMPS OF THE WEST

WASHINGTON, May 2S.-With all restrictions on export of silver re- moved by both England and the United States, the western silver camps are looking for grand revival of the white metal. Costs of supplies which in some phases have reached 15O per cent-and labor-which still holds out against reductions in wages, will temporarily prevent a boom con dition; but labor-between 65 and 70 percent of the total cost - will no doubt meet the readjustment condi- tions and share in the promised pros perity. Thirty years ago silver sold at 92 cents an ounce. Low costs made
 silver mining a good investment; and finds of rich ore created bonanza

COMPULSORY TEACHING
 OF ENGLISH DEFEATED

The Smith Bankhead bill introduced in Congress during the recent session failed of enactment in both houses. This bill provided for the compulsory teaching of English to foreign-born minors who are illiterate. A few states are making experiments in the compulsory features of teaching Eng fish to foreigners. The great major ity, however, believe that compulsion defeats its own end by arousing some antagonism and preventing co-opera- tion and friendliness of all true Amer icanization. No compulsory measures applicable above the age of 21 years have been seriously considered.

GAMBLER

Mrs Rebecca Henderson, a rescue
worker and faith healer, who has
been suffering with an attack of ma
larial fever for the past several weeks,
has recovered. Mrs. Henderson
came to Gambler about three months
ago and opened tent meeting where
she told us of the wonderful work
she had done by faith alone. She
also spoke in unknown tongues and
invited the sick and afflicted to come
under her treatment for ready relief.
However, the people of Gambler failed
to respond to her invitation and she
moved on to greener pastures where
she contracted malarial fever, after
which she returned to the home of
Mrs. Williams of Gambler, lady
whom she had known in former years,
After several days suffering Mrs.
Henderson decided that her recovery
was hopeless without medical aid.
DR.. Martin OF OcklaWaha was sum.
moned to her rescue, who gave her
the necessary medical attention and
within a few days she was on her
way to recovery. We believe DIR.
Martin is due a great deal of credit
for his accomplishment in this case
as the condition, of this patient SEEM
ed almost hopeless at the late hour
he was called. The writer is willing
to allow that Faith is a godsend in
some instances, but / do not believe
that if will in all cases act sufficient
ly on the liver, nor am L willing to
admit that medical science is an in
vasion of the devil.
Mr.. and Mrs. W. F. Brown arrived
Thursday evening. Mr.. Brown is an
old citizen Of Gambler and we well
come the return of him and his pref
ty wife.
Miss Nellie Whiting left Thursday
for visit on the east coast. We
trust that her. visit will be a pleasant
one and her return speedy.
Louis Kline of Jacksonville spent
Sunday with his parents. Mr.. Kline
is engaged in shipbuilding and finds
little time to be away from the
works. However, memories of Cand j
Ter and the old folks call him this
way occasionally though short his
stay.

ing repaired To just what extent
the writer is unable to say, but 1t has
