The AUTO CONTEST.

Since announcement was made of
the Ford Automobile Contest in the
independent in the issue of JULY q
1922. we have been so busy in the
primary election and the publica-
ton of the county and district cSti-
mates that we have had but little
time to push it or. to get parties in
tcreSted. However, many persons
are becoming Interested and are
entering the contest. As Il month
has now passed and only a few
votes in, in fairness to all the con-
tcstants that they may have more
time to see the people of the coun-
ty and to get in touch with their
friends at distance. and further
more i'll the very start of The cam
paign, as is just starting. we deem
1t wise to set the date of the
close of this campaign forward from
Monday, November Goth. 1922 to
Monday, January /, 1923. This is
done solely to give those who have
taken an interest an opportunity to
organize their campaigns and to do
effective work. The Independent
has nothing selfish in placing this
campaign on foot. AS was said in
the beginning and as is carried in
the annouccmct each week our first
and foremost object is to reach as
many homes in Grccnbricr Valley
as we possibly can and to bring out
the advantages Of our county and
OF our valley. With this in view

THE WHITE HOUSE.

II is said by press reports that
President Harding is being delugcd
with kilograms, letters and radio
messages. Never before has Il Pres
idcnt received the number of mes
SaGcS and communications from all
over the country as Mr.. Harding is
receiving. Ii is stated that when
t.cN began TO come in he MIS- en-
cllncd to read them with care and
interest. but later he has shown a
degree of resentment. 1t is not un-
usual for a batch of kilograms more
than Il foot high to be laid ON his
desk each morning and tire report
is that they are increasing daily.
Not only has the President received
letters but members of Congress-. al
so. have been dcluged with letters
of all kinds. There is a sentiment
among the people of the country
that it is time for Congress and Mr..
Harding as we'll to get down To bust
ness and accomplish something.
When the people of this country
show an indication that they are
awake and active it is a healthy
sign.

 Coordination is the word,-a mouth-fllllng noun, perhaps little understood by many of the political zanes who so flippantly utter it, but at least they have a vague idea; they sense the universal demand for efficency-the mandate of the people to GET ON THE JOB.
 George Washington and Aleck Hamilton never expected us to be such idiots as to pre- serve the old system unchanged. They knew and said that new times and conditions would develop; they merely established, by force of arms and the genuis of statecraft, the founda tions of our liberties The frame work of the old house is sound and durable, but we must patch the roof, or put on new one, when needs require We must put in bath-tubs and lava tories, electric lights and sewers, and live like civilized beings, worthy of our great herl- itage We must clean up, regularly.

ALASKA COPPER PROPERTIES DO WELL
(Boston News Bureau)

Kennecott Copper Corporation produced z 7,699,680 pounds in February, the best monthly output since December, 192O when 1O,599,- 4SO pounds were produced
 Kennecott earned more than fixed charges last year, which few big copper producers ac- complished. Today 1t can make it's metal for around cents pound, and is making money on 13-cent copper. Its subsidiary, Braden Cop per Co.,, is expected to be on a paying basis soon Kennecott put more than $30,000,OOO into it's development.
 Kennecott advanced $1,000,000 to Mother Lode Coalition Mines Co.,. for development of its property. Mother Lode paid off the debt and has more than $2O0O,O00 in it's treasury It is expected that Mother Lode will start quarterly dividends in May of 25 cents share owns, l, 275OOO shares or 51 per cent of Moth CT Lode
 Mother Lode is the lowest cost copper pro- ducer in the world. It is making its metal for 690 cents pound. With further reduction in material prices, cost may be reduced to around 61A cents pound before the end of 1922
 Ahead of the 2,787,000 shares of Kennecott outstanding are $150O0,0OO per cent bonds, issued in 1920 to provide additional working capital This calls for an annual interest charge of $1,o5OOO0 Kennecott is getting at the year ly rate of 1,233,008 from Utah Copper Co.,, investment of 616,604 shares, more than enough to cover interest on its bonds.
 The following shows Kennecott production compared with previous years:
