Republicans Manifest Much Interest in
Selection of Delegates to the
County Convention

Much interest was manifested in
the republican caucuses held in the
various precincts throughout the
county last Tuesday for the purpose
of electng delegates to the county
convention, which will be held in this
city on April 20 This convention is
called to elect six delegates from this
county to attend the state convention
at Occur d'Alene on April %. and the
state convention will elect eight dele
gates to represent the republicans Of
Idaho in the national convention
which meets in Chicago on June s. In
some precincts there were contests,
but generally the delegations were
selected without opposition and by
unanimous vote Wherever there was
a contest it was on the question of
sending an instructed delegation to
the national convention. 1t was mere
ly a question of policy, involved no
personalities, and the results left no
feeling of bitterness or sore, spots.
The supporters of General Leonard
Wood generally favored sending an
instructed delegation to Chicago. al
though there were a few who are in
clined to oppose instructions. The

bert Hoover We're all opposed to in
struction, and wherever there was
contest it was between the Lowden
and Hoover men. particularly the lat

utely no BOrah or Johnson sentiment /

stands for an uninstructed delegation

playing directly into the hands of
Sentaor BOrah, who hopes to deliver

That is the position of those
Who object to instructions. There is
10 doubt that delegations from south
IDAHO will be largely influenced by
Senator Borah, whose purpose is un-
lerstood to be to head the Idaho dele

INTERSTATE CALLAHAN
RECORD LEAD SHIPMENTS
DURING PAST MONTH

The Interstate O. Callahan is
rapidly advancing 70 a position Of
Importance as lead producer,
due mainly TO the improved milling
facilities for the recovery of lead
and also to somewhat larger pro-
portion of lead in the ore. Ship
ments of lead during the month of
March probably reached 1900 dry
tons, the highest record made by
the company The zinc shipments
viii probably not exceed those Of
January, due TO the difficulty in
the early part of the month in
getting machine men in the mine.
Zinc concentrates maintain the
high average of about 81 per cent.
The labor situation at the Gala
han is now much improved, the
company now being very well pro-
vided with capable machine men

FAST TIME IS FAVORED
WALLACE BOARD TRADE
URGE ADOPTION IN COUNTY,
HOME FOR SERVICE MEN
MUST WAIT.

BY unanimous vote at the regular
noon meeting of the board of trade
last Monday, Rocky Mountain time was
recommended for the city and district
and a request will be made that the
city council pass an ordnance chang
ing the time accordingly during the
period beginning the last Sunday in
March and ending the last Sunday in
October The county commissioners
will also be requested to pass a reso-
luton to the same effect During the
remainder of the year, if the recon-
Of the board of trade is
carried out, Pacific coast time will
prevail This action was taken as
result of investigations made by a
special committee appointed by the
board Of trade to determine the atti-
tude of the public toward the adOp-
ton of fast time during the spring
and summer months. The committee
found that sentiment in Burke and
Mullan practically unanimously favor
ed the change In Wallace and Kel-
logg there was some opposition but
those who favored the change were
largely in the majority. The opposi-
ton was chiefly based upon the be
lief that the change would result in
confusion on account of the O-W. r
& n. company operating on slow time.
The adoption of the change is now up
to the council and county commits

COMPANY
RECEIVING EQUIPMENT
LETS CONTRACT FOR 1900 FEET
OF DRlFTING-PREPARlNG
TO SINK.

/ Wesley Everett, of Sildix Montana,
manager of the Amazon-Dixie Min
! ing company, came over from the mine
yesterday The main drift that is
being extended into the Leslie ground,
and which was described in a recent
stringers and punches Of galena, is now
showing an increased amount of ore.
Mr.. Everett says the face of the drift
is a mass Of ore stringers and is show
ing steady improvement as the drift
advances. The work is being done un-
der contract. This week a new con-
tract was let to Mike Colombo to ex-
tend the drift from the present face
1900 feet into the Leslie ground. Ar
rangements were completed while Mr..
Everett was in the east by which the
Amazon Dixie company will take over
the Leslie, and this work is being done
in pursuance of that arrangement.
Without discounting the Amazon
Dixie Mr. Everett is Of the opinion
that the Leslie is going to prove the
big asset of the company
Machinery Arriving.
As outlined few weeks ago in the
Miner, the Amazon Dixie will soon be
provided with electric power and all
necessary for that purpose
has been ordered The transformer
for the mine end of the transmission
line has arrived, and the big trans
former to be placed at Taft is expect
ed by the middle Of the month. A

ing the electric hoist. is on the way.
Mike Colombo, who has the drift con-

.HECLA PAYS DIVIDEND
LARGE ORE RESERVES
HAS NOW Discussed OVER
EIGHT METEOROLOGICAL
TAXES.

The Hecla Mining company paid
its regular quarterly dividend of 10
cents per share last Sunday, March
rs. The amount Of the dividend was
$15O,OOO and brings the total sum paid
by the company to date up to $S,OO5,-
900. Last year the company paid a
total of 100000 being at the rate of
10 cents per share, and it will I'M
doubtedly pay that much and possibly
more this year. This, however. will
doubtless depend on the action of the
government in the adjustment Of the
taxes for the past three years, and
the tax for which the company will
be liable this year. 1t is evidently the
policy Of the management to retain an
ample surplus to meet any demand
that may finally be made by the gov
eminent.
Future Earnings.
The outlook for future earnings
could hardly be better, as shown by
the report for the year just ended
With over a million and a half tons
of ore in sight, without including the
ground between the 1900 and 1000 lev
els, together with the favorable and
assured market for lead
and silver, Hecla stockholders may
look forward to a long
period Of profits and with strong
of a substantial increase
in the dividend rate.
Development on the 1000 level IS
proving highly satisfactory The ore
shoot as far as explored is proving
fully as good as that above the 1000.
and justiies the management. which
is always conservative. in predicting
that this new level viii add at least
100000 tons to the present known ore
reserves.

Yellowstone Trail association has been
subscribed by the people of Wallace.
The report of r. T. Strachen, treas

Soldiers Club.

The proposed public building de-
signed as a memorial in honor of the
men from Shoshone county who serv-
ed in the army and navy during the
world war has been abandoned for
the present, so far as the board of
trade is concerned This action was
taken following a report and recon-
mendation from James F. Mccarthy,
chairman of the committee appointed
by the board to investigate the FEAST
bility of erecting such a building. The
plan being considered included city
hall, headquarters for eX-service men,
headquarters for the Red Cross, rest
rooms for women, etc. Mr.. Mccarthy
stated that it was the conclusion OF
the committee that the cost of such a
building would be too great at this
time He recommended that the pro-
ject be abandoned for the present, but
that the board take steps to
secure suitable rooms to serve as
headquarters for the ex-soldiers. This
view was accepted by the board, and
the matter of securing rooms will be
further considered at the next meet
ing of the board of trade.

Ask Reorganization Approval

Interests who were instrumental in
forming the plan of reorganization of
the United Railroads of San Francisco,
traction subsidiary of the United Rail-
ways Investment Company, have writ
ten the California Railroad Commission
urging that formal approval of the plan
be gwen as soon as possible. The only
obstacle to an early consumation of the
readJustment proposed and the issuance
of the new securities involved lies in
such action. The 1919 earnings of the
traction company are expected to be
published shortly and are placed at the
rate of per cent on the preferred
stock to be issued under the reorgani-
zation, after allowance for prior pre-
ferred stock dividend requirements.
United Railways Investment under the
plan will hold majority of the pre-
ferrcd stock which it is believed will
be placed on or 6 per cent annual
basis.

Industrial List
Shows Firmness:
Rails Are Heavy
Weakness in Northern Pa
cific and Great Northern
Preferred; Market Senti-
ment Cheered by News
From Chicago

Speculative stocks continued yester-
day under the influence of the news
from Chicago, and, as Wall Street
viewed the proceedings with more or
less satisfaction, since the develop
ments in that quarter pointed to the
elimination of radical candidates for
the nomination, the market displayed
general strength although there was
some degree of irregularity.
Stocks started out with a vigorous
exhibition of strength on buying which
! came over the wires from the West.
This caused further covering by shorts
who have been retiring their contracts
since the middle of the week, and i'm
parted a tone of pronounced strength
to number of the speculative favor
ties, notably Baldwin Locomotive and
Crucibe Steel. In the closing hour OF
the brief session, however, the move
ment lost its momentum and trading
slowed down, with prices eased off.
Baldwin Locomotive lost all of it's
early gain, but Crucible held we'll and
closed at an advance of more than 6
points net.
The one unfavorable development in
| the market was the pronounced weak
ness Of Great Northern preferred and
Northern Pacific, both Of these stand
ard dividend paying rails dropping
more than 2 points on selling that
bore all the earmarks of liquidation.
The turnover in the former exceeded
5000 shares and in the latter more
than 1000 shares, heavy trading for
these issues, especially in a two-hour
session. The selling seemed to be based
! upon belief that the two roads might
have to follow the example set by the
Chicago & Northwestern and cut their
dividends.
The Federal Reserve Bank of New
York improved its position slightly last
week, increasing its ratio Of reserves to
note and deposit liabilities from 401
per cent to 406 per cent. The bank
reported an increase in rediscounts of

discounts of banks in other districts
sufficient to more than Offset it. There
was a small increase IL gold. The New
York Clearing House banks increased
| surplus reserved 1851 $50, while loans

Waiting for the Plungers

The market yesterday was described
by one broker as waiting for the
plungers to take the lead" At no time
any great activity, nor did traders
who had bought stocks for the rise
show any concerted disposition to throw
them over on the possible chance of
important developments at the Chi
cago convention after the market had
closed. Some of the recent favorites,
however, showed the effect of profit
taking, although Crucible continued Its
closing at 1922, net gain of 6@
points. This made a total rise of more
than Is points in the last two days.
There was a report that directors at
their meeting, scheduled for next Tues
day, may continue the policy of declar-
ing stock dividends, some optimists
going so far as to predict that the
amount Of the share distribution would
be as high as so per cent.
Weakness in Rails
Weakness in Great Northern prefer

to reports that directors would follow

tion to stockholders at their next meet
ings. The current selling prices of
these issues certainly indicate that a
continuation Of the present dividends
is matter of uncertainty. Great
Northern, whose dividend rate is now
per cent, closed at 67112, off 21a points
from the preceding days last sale,
while Northern Pacific, paying the same
rate of dividend, also closed at 67l4,
with net loss of ga points. The weak
ness in these two issues spread through
the entire railroad list, and while the
general run of losses was not so great
they served to damper the enthusiasm
which has up until recently been felt
over the prospects of raise in the
rails that would last throughout the
summer.

Ten Per Cent Money

Wrenn Brothers take the view that
the renewed rise in the call money
rate to 10 per cent last week has dis
posed of any notion that the banks
are in position to finance a bull
movement and has made it clear that
the Improvement in monetary condi-
tions is just beginning at usually
takes six months or more to restore
sound conditions after bank loans have
become inflated" adds this firm, .for
the actual remedy is invariably TO in
crease our loanable funds through a
tedious process of saving rather than
to make any considerable reduction in
the aggregate volume of outstanding
loans. Such reduction is practically
impossible for the reason that the
liabilities Of the public cannot be
liquidated except through a process of
saving out of earnings. 1t is not to be
expected, then, that the money market

American Locomotive

Earnings of the American Locomo-
tive Company for the second quarter
of 1920 were estimated in financial cir
cles yesterday at the equivalent of ap-
proximately So share on the common
stock after all charges. In the first
quarter the company earned its pre-
ferred dividend with a small margin
left over, so that the half year should
show the $6 dividend on the common
for that period about earned. 1t was
said yesterday that the gain in rev.
enues for the second quarter was made
notwithstanding the difficulty in get
ting deliveries Of raw materials owing
to the railroad strike. Because of this
strike, operations for three months
to end June 80, it is believed, VIII
average only about 40 per cent of ca
pacity. Orders on the company's books
ere now in the neighborhood of S45,-
100000.
