Lead and Zinc Pro-
duCtion in 1918

The domestic mine output of
lead and zinc decreased in 1918,
according to C. E. Seibenthal in
statement just issued by the
U. 5. geological survey, depart
ment of the interior. The lead
and the recoverable zinc of ores
mined was approximately $4,000
tons and $4,000 tons as compar-
ed with 651, 1855 tons and 711,192
tons in 1917. The refined lead
output of smelters and retineries
was $4,000 tons against 6l2,214
tons in 1917, and the antimonial
lead output was $4,000 tons as
against 1851 tons. The lead
available in the United States is
$4,000 tons against 515,25S tons
in 1917. The output of spelter
from domestic and foreign ore
was 525,600 tons compared with
669,573 tons in 1917. Spelter from
foreign ore decreased to 23S00
from S4,976 tons in 1917. The ap-
parent domestic consumption of
spelter was 100000 tons compar-
ed with 413,9S4 tons in 1917. The
consumption figures of both lead
and zinc include the metal ship
ped abroad for use of the Ameri-
can eXpeditionary forces. The
average price of lead at New
York was 7.6 cents a pound and
of spelter at St Louis cents a
pound.
The foregoing figures so far as
mine production of lead and zinc
are concerned correspond to the
production in the Occur d'Alene
district, where there was mark
ed decrease, and indicate the re-
duced production was general in
the lead and zinc producing dis
tricts, due to the high cost of mi
ming and labor shortage.

WESTERN UNION.
Drift to the East Continues in Good
Ore.

Ben L. Collins, of Spokane, secre-
tary and manager of the Western
Union Mining company, was in the
city Saturday and inspected the pro-
perty of the company which is situat-
ed about two miles east Of this city,
on Revenue gulch. A drift is being
run east from the main crosscut tun-
mel in what was formerly known as
the Aurora ground. The work is be-
inc done under contract. Mr.. Collins
saws that there is continuous ore for
the past 100 feet, generally averaging
about ten inches wide. In one place
the shoot widened to about two feet
of solid ore, but gradually narrowed
down to about ten inches There Is
lots of water and the formation Is
very favorable to a permanent ore de-
nosit. The drift is being run to get
under the old Aurora workings, where
there are very favorable evidences OF
an ore body at depth. Several nun
dred feet remain to be run, ana the
drift will give about 14OO feet depth
below the upper tunnel

LEWISTON NORMAL.
City Makes LibertI Offer to Secure
New Building.

The city of Lewiston will add five
and one-half acres to the Lewiston
Normal school campus If the present
legislature sees fit to appropriate $780,
600 for a new school administration
building to replace the structure de-
stroyed by fire year ago% This is
the intention declared In a resolution
received Saturday at the office of DR.:
E. A. Bryan, state commissioner OF
education.
The land In question is contiguous
to the normal school enclosure and Is
now functioning as city park. Con-
struction of a $150,00O building as
soon as Is reasonably practicable Is
the recognition Of it's offer which the
city seeks.
"Lewiston has done the handsome
thing" said Commissioner Bryan On
speaking of the matter. "The offer
is a manifestation Of public spirit well
worth WHILE"

The death of Colonel Roosevelt re-
calls his visit to this city in 1903 while
he was president, the only time in the
history Of Wallace that it has been
honored by the presence of the nations
chief executive. How it came to pass
that Wallace received this mark of
distinction is also recalled, for this city
was not included in the original
intinery of the president. Having an
nounced that he would make a tour of
the western states in a special train,
the president was beseiged with invita-
tions to include every town of even
modest pretention in his schedule of
stops and speeches. Obviously it was
necessary to confine the tour of the
to avoid the loss of much time in MAX
ing side trips on branch lines, and so
when the schedule was finally an
nounced Wallace was not on the list,
although an invitation had been duly
filed. w. B. Hepburn was senator
from Idaho at that time and his home
was in Wallace. Although they after
wards became estranged politically,
due to the conservation policy of the
president, at that time there existed
"a warm personal friendship between
Senator Hepburn and President Roose-
welt. Now. Senator Hepburn very
much desired the president to come
to Wallace, but he realized that 1t
was next to impossible to change the
intnery once it had been settled. for
it meant changing the schedule of
stops throughout the remainder of the
trip. But he knew the president and
knew that he would not permit any
pre- arranged plans to prevent him
from coming to Wallace if the appeal
struck him just right SO Senator
the president to come to his home
town and meet the people of the
Occur d'Alene district. President
Roosevelt promptly added Wallace to
his schedule, which included a formal
speech and a luncheon for himself and
party as the guest of Senator Hepburn
At that time Senator Hepburn was
unmarried and was without home IA
cilities suitable for entertainment of
the president This difficulty was
overcome by Frank F. Johnson, who
turned over his home to the senator
for the purpose. This is the home
now owned and occupied by M. A.
Corner, on Cedar street. The presi-
dental train arrived at about 6 o'clock
in the morning. Accompanying the
president were Secretary of the Navy
Moody and William Loeb, his private
secretary. Senator Ankeny of Walla
Walla, was also in the party by spe-
cial invitation Of the president. Presi-
dent Roosevelt and his party were

The reception to the president in
cluded parade through the principal
streets, and the question of providing
a suitable vehicle for the distinguish
ed guest was a serious one that con-
frc nted the committee on arrange
ments. The "horseless carriage mad

not come into practical use, and 1t is
significant of the time that Wal

Roosevelt had known of the predica-
ment he would have relieved the COM

Never before or since has Wallace been
so elaborately decorated with flags
and bunting as on the occasion of the
visit of President Roosevelt Numer-
Gus large pictures of the president,
draped in the national colors, were
conspicuous features of the decora-
tions. The large flags that are still
used for decorating the streets on pa
triotic occasions We're bought by the
city in honor of the president and We're
first used on that occasion. The eff
feet of the elaborate decorations was
spoiled by a heavy rain that started
the night before and continued
throughout the presidents visit. Al
though it marred the appearance OF
the city, it did not dampen the ardor
of the people who had assembled here
from all parts of the district and from
distant points in north Idaho,

deduct the $10000000O0 which represents loans to the
Allies, and which may properly be figured asset
But it is small when compared with the national ability

Even if the Allies did not repay any of those oans

If we wanted to let it run longer, we could wipe out
the whole thing in thrytwO years by paying $5O0OO0OO

Compared with the billions year the nation is now

small And if we figure the foreign loans as collect

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
The Hague gonventlon

The second Hague conference ir 1907
agreed upon convention fol the paci-
fie settlement of international disputes.
Il established a permanent court Of ar
bitratiOn to sit at The Hague, and il
provided that
"in questions of a legal nature ana
especially in the Interpretation or
application of international con
ventions arbitration is recognized
by the contracting powers as the
most effective and at the same time
the most equitable means Of set
Ting disputes which doplinacy has
failed to settle. Consequently il
would be desirable that in disputes
about the above mentioned ques-
tions the contracting parties should,
if the case arose, have recourse
to arbitration insofar as eircum-
stances permit"
The United States senate, in catify-
ng this treaty on April 3, lel5, did so
with the following proviso, namelyi

tanned in the said convention be

1t further declared that the United

in Article LII of the convention, which
excluded from the permanent court Tho
