TREADWELL PEOPLE
 DEVELOPE CLAIMS
 ON THE KUSkOKWIM
(Juneau Empire)

The Alaska Treadwell Gold Min ing Company has taken a bond on twelve gold quartz claims at Nixon Fork, near McGrath on the kuSko- kwim River. At the present time Livingstone Wernecke, representa- tive of the company, is doing Gevel- opment work on the claims with a crew of twelve men.
 A big outfit, costing it is said, in the neighborhood of S170O0, is being assembled here by the com pany for transportation to the Kusko- llwim. In the outfit is a port able air compressor, drilling ma chimes and everything else that goes to make a quartz mining camp.
 This outfit is being assembled by Charles Horner, who will leave soon in charge of it and crew of men for McGrath, to assist in the development of the claims.
 Livingstone Werneclle, geologist, for the Treadwcil Company, left for McGrath several weeks ago. He went by way of Seward and the end of steel on the government railroad and then travelled twelve days by dog team on the trail to his destination. lis report on the claims was said to have been favorable and he was authorized to go to work He has been working with 2 crew of twelve men ever since in opening up the prospects.
 With the new equipmenC that Will be sent there it will be possible to put on larger crew of men and 10 push the development work to a finish and put the mine on a paying basis.
 The option on this property comes as the elimination of the endeav- o-s of the Treadwell Company last season to get hold of some good quartz properties in the interior of Alaska.

WILSON'S ~VALEDICTORY


President Wilson in his annua.
message to congress made concrete
recommendations favoring revision
and simplification of the tax laws:
independence for the PHILIPPINES; a
loan to Armenia; a workable budget
system; cold storage and other laws
affecting the cost of living; licensing
of corporations; rehabilitation and
training of disabled service men.
Nowhere did the president refer to
the League of Nations or the peace
treaty fight, except perhaps by infer
ence in his opening when he quoted
Abraham L~incoln's Let us have faith
that right makes might, and in that
faith let us dare to do our duty as
we understand it."
At its close the president wrote a
paragraph which might be regarded
as a valedictory, saying: Il have not
so much as set before you a series of
recommendations as l sought to utter
a confession of faith, of the faith in
which | was bred and which it is my
solemn promise to stand by until my
last fighting day. l believe this to be
the faith of America, the faith of the
future, and of all the victories which
await national action in the days to
come, whether in America of else
where.
Democracy" the president said
''is being put upon its final test. The
old world" he said, sis suffering from
a wanton rejection of the principles
of democracy and a substitution of
the principles of autocracy as assert
ed in the name but without the au-
thority and sanction of the multitude.
This is the time of all others when
democracy should prove its purity
and its spiritual power to prevail. 1t
is surely the manifest destiny of the
United States to lead in the attempt
to make this spirit prevail Two
ways Sin which the United States can
assist to accomplish this great OBJ
ject" were outlined by the president.
They were:
First: By offering the example
within her own borders OF the will
and power of democracy to make and
enforce laws which are u%nGuection-
ably just and which are equal in their
administration " " g Second: By
standing for right and justice as to-
wards individual nations. "The Unit
ed States" said the president, can
not refuse this role of champion
without putting the stigma of rejec-
ton upon the great and devoted men
who brought its government into ex-
istence."

THE CATTLEMAN'S CASE

The cattle man is a good sport.
You seldom hear one whimper. Yet,
he has been up against the real thing
in the contraction of prices on the
market for his product, and it comes
on the top of a winter last year in
which cattle food was so scarce and
high that it cost the average cattle
man a large part of what they worth
in the spring to bring them through
the winter. Recent cattle prices on
the Chicago market are very close to
pre-war prices. Indeed for some
grades the price realized was lower
than it was in 1914. Rosenbaum's
Review, a well known cattle period
ical in a recent issue makes this COM
parison between 1914 and 1920
prices:
In 1914:
Beef steers, $3.50 to $685..
Cows and heifers, 1925 to $3.50.
Gamers and cutters, $685. to
$3.50.
Calves, $500 to $11.OO.
Bulls, 1918 to $685..
In 1920:
Beef steers, $3.50 to $1,000.
Cows and heifers, $3.50 to $6.25.
Gamers and cutters, $500 to
$3.50.
Calves, $3.50 to $1,000.
Bulls, $500 to $3.50.
Analysis of these figures will show
that the highest grades of cattle sell
today for a trife more than they did

The arrest of a mar named Mag
nus Overland while enroute to Glen
dive with Is gallons of home brew
in his a led to the finding of the
plant where the stuff was being man
ufactured in a dugout in the bad
lands of eastern McCone county.
Theodore Schommer, who was in
charge of the still was arrested. The
still was we'll constructed and ap-
peared to have been in operation for
several months. A large quantity of
molasses and ground corn, used in
the process, was found in the cave.

The tobacco habit is dangerous to
health. A fine young Indian was
brought to an untimely death in
Colorado the other day by setting his
blanket on fire with sparks from his
pipe. He was only 1873 years old and
might have grown to maturity if he
had forsworn the pesky weed.
The Wolf Point herald. (Wolf Point, Mont.) 1913-1940, 1920-12-16

in 1914 on the Chicago market and
the low grades for less than in 1914.
If you added all the top prices of
1919 and all the bottom prices to-
gether it would come to $70.35. If
you did the same thing with the fig
ures of 1920 it would come to S67.75.
From these figures we think it is a
fair deduction to state that the mar
ket price of cattle today in Chicago
represents a pre-war price. Many
things that enter into the cost of
producing cattle can not be pur-
chased at pre-war prices. Labor is
one of them. Land is another. In
terest is another. Many of the con
modities needed by the cattle raiser
could be added to these. He has a
good title to the sympathy of the
public. But we do not observe that
he is asking for any sympathy, or
even asking for financial relief from
the taxpayers. He is taking his losses
and saying very little about them.
They are heavy enough at that. But
the average cattle man is a dead
game sport and an optimist. He be-
lieves that better days are coming
and he is making plans to keep right
along in the game of cattle raising,
confident that in time he will be able
to figure a profit out of the business.
