GEORGIA EDITORIAL WRITERS
 DON'T MINCE MATTERS

s Journalism in Georgia has lost none of the picturesque qualities which made it necessary for the old-fashioned editor to be two-fsted fighting man and keep a shotgun handy in the sanctum.
 As is also the genial custom in Mississippi, when some of the Georgia editors start out to trounce a citizen in their editorial columns they call him hard names-very hard names.
 man named Hutcheson Is candidate for the superior court bench. He recently made a speech in Atlanta in which he assailed lov- able Jim Nevin, editor of the Georgian and Sunday American, who is now quite ill. The religious issue seems to be causing trouble in Georgia politics, but that is nothing new. Hutcheson is charged with calling Nevin "a hireling of the Catholic church."
 The Georgian says editorially, "Hutcheson, of course, is liar and was aware of the fact when he made the statement" The Geor- gian thinks Hutcheson was Hopeful that some friend of Jim Nevin would slap his jaws" so he could address other meetings and claim that an attempt had been made to "assassinate" him. "This Hutcheson," continues the Geor- Atlanta, after all. Personally, of course, he has no more standing than a polecat."
 Another Georgia paper, the Bainbridge Post-Searchlight, surpasses the Georgian in it's castigation of Hutcheson. Its comments remind one of the stormy days when an ed itor who didn't fight duel occasionally felt that he was making no impression on his con stituents The Post st-Searchlight says:
 With Carl Hutcheson on the bench justice would
 be raped and honesty destroyed. No would be
 safe. Mafia and Black Hand stalk in the alleys of the city and all decent folks would have
 to leave or be murdered If they would allow such z thing this to get her superior court bench,
 the capitol ought be burned How long
 will the chief city of the state permit her good
 to be dragged into the filth and mre of such
 politics Hutcheson representa-
 Reproducing the Georgian's editorial, the sutter-snpe politician, whose rabid political activities have made Atlanta ridiculous before the state and before the country for some time past"
 There is very little of this sort of editorial writing in Alabama-none among the larger newspapers. It defeats it's own purpose. Every { epithet applied to Hutcheson may be deserved, < but bitter personal attacks in the editorial columns of newspaper enable the object of attack to play the role of martyr, victim of persecution who cant hit back. It strength ems the allegiance of his followers and makes new converts to his cause.
 There have been instances in Georgia, Tom Watson, for example, and in many other states, where newspaper abuse helped to elect candidates to office, instead of deefating them-

REAL ESTATE ACTIVE

"Real estate business has shown greater improvement during the past few weeks than has marked it's progress during the past few years said J. M. Ford, local real estate man.
 "Our office. has shown marked progress during the past few days in sales and rentals, and believe that all other real estate con- cerns about town have done the same thing.''

BARRELS STORY OF THE LARK

From the Atlanta Georgian.
 Tn James Barrie's address at the Scottish university the other day. he told a story of the lark.
 He said he heard it from Nansen, the ex. plorer. There was legend among the north- ern people of certain monk, Father Ansen, who wandered out of the monastery one day into the woods, and while there heard lark singing. The music was @ beautiful that Father Ansen listened witHgrapture.
 The word rapture implies being carried away
 When the song had ceased, the monk re- turned to the monastery; but when he knocked at the door a stranger opened it and asked who he was. "Why, I am Father Ansen,' replied the monk After some con siderable consultation, it was found that some murdered or so years ago there had been monk in the institution called Father Ansen who had wandered in the woods and had been lost.
 Time had stopped while the lark sang.
 This is beautiful illustration of the time less value of life's highest moments.
 Just look back over today and yesterday, and if there has been any small period wherein your soul boiled over with beauty and time stopped" why, then life is worth living
 acres of land surrounded by homesteads of the Kentucky farmers. Of the church Mr. AL len has written: 'The cold gray of the interior, severe and unrelieved, bespeaks place where the soul comes to lay itself in simplicity be- fore the Eternal as it would upon naked, solid rock of the desert.''

Donald A. Callahan, Republican Can
didate for State Senate, Defines
Position On Japanese Question


My attention has been called to the
fact that there is a certain amount of
misunderstanding among the people of
.Shoshone county as to my attitude
with regard to what may be called
"The Japanese Question" in this state.
Either through misunderstanding or
malice, certain persons have been
rather active in spreading the informal
ton that l am favorable to the bring
ing in of japanese labor to work in
the various industries in Shoshone
county. 1 feel in view of this situa-
ton that the voters are entitled to a
frank statement of what my attitude
was in the last session of the legis-
iature and what 1t will be II I am
elected to the state senate for the next
session.
When I took up my duties in the
legislature in the last session, I did
not know that there was such an is
sue as a japanese question in the
state of Idaho AS a matter Of fact,
do not believe there were many peo-
pie prior to that time who had thought
anything whatever about the matter
The only place in the state where Jap
anese have settled in any numbers is
in the Snake river valley. At various
points in that valley. japanese have
been engaged in truck farming for
some time. I understand, also, that
they have been used to some extent as
laborers in the beet sugar fields in

the under graduates of the school of
mines, University of Idaho, at Moscow
next Saturday. November L. This will
be the first of a series of alternating
meetings. the next one of which will
be held with the students of the min
ing and engineering department of
the Washington State college at Pull
man. The purpose of these meet
ings. as indicated in the announce
ment of the plan by L. X. Armstrong,
of Spokane. secretary of Columbia sec
ton, is for the engineering fraternity
to get in close touch with the young
men in these schools as a means of
creating a deeper interest in their
work and to impress upon them the
best traditions of the mining profess
sions and the high ideals that should
ever actuate them as students. citi-
zens and engineers.
Program of Moscow Meeting.
At the meeting in Moscow next
Saturday Fred w. Galloway, of Kel-
logg, will address the students on
Construction of Mine Models" a sub
ject which he is especially qualified to
discuss. Mine models have come to
be a matter OF prime Importance in
the development and operation of
large mines, although the popular con-
ception of them is largely in connec-
ton with mining litigation. In addi-
ton to wide experience in all
branches of mining engineering, Mr..
Galloway has specialized in mine
model construction and examples of
his work will be exhibited to the
students in connection with his ad-
markable piece of work, shows the
Star and Morning mines and the cross
cut that is being run from the 1000
level of the Hecla mine to the Star
vein, which was prepared for use in
the action brought against the Hecla
company to prevent carrying out the
agreement with the Bunker Hill for
the purchase of the Star.
Rush j. White, of this city, chair
man of Columbia section, will speak on
Mining Law and Geology" a most in
teresting theme to bring before embryo
mining engineers. Mr.. White was
chief engineer for the Hecla and
Bunker Hill companies in the injunc-
ton proceedings, and one of the chief
points of controversy was the value Of
the Star. This necessitated a closr
study of the geology of the Star vein
and it is expected that Mr. White
will make use of his observations in
this case in the course of his address

AMAZON DIXIE.
Report Full Face of Milling Ore in
the West Drift.


the West Drift
Since cutting the vein on the 1900
level of the Amazon-D Dixie, which is
500 feet below the main tunnel level.
a drift has been run 225 feet west with
a steady Improvement in the showing
of ore. This was the statement of
Wesley Everett. manager of the
Amazon-Dixie company who was in
the city last Saturday At the point
where the vein was crosscut it was IA
feet wide, and it is assumed that it is
continuing to hold that width since the
drift started. Mr. Everett said he
would crosscut before proceeding
much further to determine the width
of the vein and its character. as it is
regarded possible that the drift may
be running alongside an even better
of ore than has been exposed
the present showing is
mighty satisfactory There is lead
silver and copper ore throughout the
face all combining to make very
good grade of milling ore. There is
one streak of lead silver that was the
thickness of knife blade and has
steadily increased for 25 feet ana is
now five or six inches thick practical

SUCCESS.

Mill Is Now Being Operated With
Two Shifts.
The Success mine is steadily ad-
vancing to its former position among
the important producers of the dis
trict. This week another shift was
added at the mill making two. and the
condition of the mine will doubtless
soon permit increased output to an
extent which will require operating
the mill full time. Unwatering the
shaft down to the $50 level is under
consideration. with the view to cross
cutting the big ore shoot $50 feet be-
low the present workings Shipments
of both concentrates and crude ore are
going forward the company to date

southeastern Idaho. The 1920 census
disclosed the fact that there are be-
tween 1900 and 1900 Japanese all told
in the state.
Because of the fact that there are
so few here and that in this section
of the state we do not come in con-
tact with them at all, I did not have
the least idea that there would be any
legislation proposed to curb their &C
tivities.
Provisions Of the Bill.
It appears. however, that certain
gentlemen in the legislature were con-
cerned lest the adverse legislation in
California and surrounding states
might drive a considerable number Of
Japanese into the state of Idaho to
take up lands for agricultural pur-
poses. To forestall any such influx, a
bill was introduced in the house of
by Representative Van
de Steeg. of Canyon county. This bill
was based on the laws passed in Cali
tornia and had for its object the pro-
hibting of japanese and Chinese from
holding owning, enjoying and dispos-
ing of real property, or any interest
therein, in this state This bill did
not only prevent these people from
owning. but prohibited their leasing
land as we'll The provisions of the
bill were also extended to companies.

GALENA STOCKHOLDERS
TO MEET ON NOV. q
WILL RECEIVE PROPOSITION
FROM CALLAHAN COMPANY
TO CONSOLIDATE.

Formal notices have been mailed to
stockholders of the Galena Mining
company calling a meeting in this city
on November %. The purpose of the
meeting is explained by Donald A.
Callahan, president of the company, in
a circular letter accompanying the
notice The directors of the Callahan
Zinc-Lead company will meet at In
terstate on November q, the day be-
fore the meeting of the Galena stock
holders. and President Callahan antic-
mates a proposition from them look
ing to the consolidation of the Galena
and Callahan through an exchange OF
stock. The Callahan company owns
81 per cent of the stock of the Galena
company. The president urges upon
stockholders the importance OF the
meeting and that all to be repre-
scented. The presidents letter fol-
lows:
GaIena Tonnage Exposed.
"The situation of the Galena Min
ing company is as follows The de-
velopment work has shown a consid-
cradle body of lead silver ore in the
Galena vein on the property. This
vein has been explored on the tunnel
level the two hundred level and the
four hundred level and a raise is now
being driven from the tunnel level on
the ore. This raise at the present
writing is up one hundred feet and an
is being driven at that
point. Should this raise and the drifts
from the raise disclose a sufficient
tonnage of ore to warrant milling op-
erations, the matter of financing such
operations must be taken care Of
AT the present time the company
has on hand sufficient cash to con-
tinue operations at the present rate
for approximately four months. We
have at the present time two crews |
working. When the funds now on
hand are exhausted. it will be neces-
sary either to levy another assessment |
or to secure funds by borrowing

Der 21st, the day preceding our meet

han directors will formulate and pre-
sent to the stockholders of the Galena
a plan for the future financ-

Callahan company will make a propo-
sition to the Galena company to con-

BIG CALLAHAN MILL
NOW IN OPERATION
$50 MEN ON PAYROLL
Nine Mile Canyon is Itself
Again--Ore Being Blocked
Out at Galena
$50 MEN ON PAYROLL

THE CALLAHAN mill started op-
GRAFTON this morning. hits is
the information wired to John
Borg, president of the Callahan
Zinc Lead company by Manager
G. W. Newton last night The
mill was tried otu and tuned up yes
terday and today begins regular pro-
duction and Will soon be running at
maximum capacity Mr.. Newton
stated that he had all the men he
could use at this time. but that few
more would be added from time to
time as required until the normal
force of about $50 men is on the pay
roll. Yesterday the actual number of
men employed in the mine and mill
was $50. The resumption of produc-
ton by the Callahan practically
places mining operations in the Occur
dAlene district on a normal basis, the
only one of the larger producers still
inactive being the Huner, which when
productive employs about 100 men.
Over 500 Men on Nine Mile.
With the Callahan operating prac-
tically on a normal basis, the Tam
arack with its usual payroll of $50
men and Success steadily increasing
working force, Nine Mile canyon again
becomes the scene of great mining ac-
tivity with over 500 men on the pay
rolls which viii doubtless soon pass
the 600 mark largely through the en-
ployment of additional men at Sue
cess. The condition on Nine Mile is
duplicated on Canyon creek, Mullan
and Wardner- Kellogg while smaller
operations in various parts OF the dis
trict swell the rising tide of prosper
ity i'm the Occur d'Alenes. 1t is well
to remark in passing that this is the
condition for which the people here
have long waited and for which they
are indebted to a great extent to re-
publican legislation and administra-
ton, a practical demonstration of the
affect of political policies upon indus
trial affairs
Situation at GaIena.
The resumption of production by the
Callahan and the approaching meeting
of Callahan directors naturally in
vites attention to the progress of de-
velopment by the Galena Mining
company, control of which is owned
by the Callahan company. Asked
about Galena. Manager Newton said
that the raise from No. tunnel level,
upon which the ore shoot has been
proved for over 800 feet in length, had
been extended 100 feet in a good
grade of lead-silver ore. Drifts are
now being run both east and west
from the top as the raise and both
faces are in ore which appears to be
of even a better grade than that dis
closed in the tunnel. This showing
taken in connection with the ore ex-
poses on the 100, 200 and 400 shaft
levels indicates large available ton
mage of milling ore.

The Silver Situation.

Regarding silver, afr. Smith is very
hopeful that some plan will be de-
vised before the government pur-
chases under the Pittman act are COM
pleted by which the price of silver will
be maintained at 81 per ounce. These
purchases viii probably end in a lit
tie more than a year, and he does not
anticipate that within that time any
change will come about in world con-
ditions that will create a demand that
will retain the price at ST. He thinks
that a silver export association, such
as has been proposed, could be made
to exert a powerful influence in fix
ing and maintaining the price. and at
least relieve the silver producers from
the arbitrary control of the silver
market exercised by a few London
brokers. However, Mr. Smith ex-
pressed the opinion that the best So
luton of the silver question, and the
one that would fix the price on a fair
and permanent basis will be found
through an agreement among the
leading nations of the world This does
not mean the adoption of bimetallism
but rather an agreement upon the ex-
change value of silver which would
stabilize the price. In any event Mr.
Smith is very hopeful that some plan
will be worked out which will prevent
a slump in the price of silver follow
ing the expiration of the protection
given by the Pittman act.
