Mans Loyal Friend

" at Douglns the public Is
mourning the loss OF a dog. He was
a dog of fine character and was
everybody's friend. He was known
far and wide over tho city. His un.
timely death brought sorrow to young
and old alike because his going leaves
a vacancy that will not soon be filled.
Bull was his name and his home
was at the city postoffice. Theirs
have been many touching dog stories
told and written. Poets have praised
in rhyme the virtues of the dog and
called him mans best and most faith.
full friend. Orators have ~eulogized
the dog and brought tears to the eyes
of hearers when reoiting the noble
and brave acts performed by dogs.
All good and brave men love dogs
because of their faithfulness.
1t is therefore not to be wondered
at that the euiogy of this par
ticular dog should be written by a
hero of the great war, a boy who
served on the front in the Argcnne
and stood In line, when comrades fell
upon all sides. and went forward to
his duty unafraid. A man Of this
type loves a dog. He is qualified to

Another Old Timer

Colonel Stokes "reminiscences Of
prospecting for gold in the Black Hill,
and his referefences to the Jenney ex
petition recall to my mind the very
narrow margin by which Professor
Jenney and his associates missed the
greatest find in the history OF gold
mining.
Gold In hat region was discovered
June ~. 1874, on h present site OF
Custer City. S. D., along French creek
by Horace N. Ross. n professional
miner, who accompanied General Gus
ter's expedition of that year. Profess
sor Walter p. Jenney was the geolog
list sent by the government at Wash.
ington the following year to check up
the military reconnaissance of the
Black Hills and reort upon their pros
pective value as a mining proposition.
After his expedition disbanded at
Cheyenne In 1875 Jenney returned to
washington via Denver, where By
chance ] saw the young mans tote.

after a lapse OF nearly fifty years,
ip looking over his Geology of the
Black Hills" in the New York Public
library, I recognized some of those
notes. elaborated OF course. On pages
279 and $50 appears a statement that
makes very interesting reading in the
light of subsequent Developments:

Black Hills, heading near Terry's
Peak. The east fork is known as

west Of Terry's Peak, thus forming a
swift stream of 900 miners inches;

below the forks. and the joint creek

party only for want of time. and suit.

1 clearly recall hearing Professor
Jenney say in the editorial room II the
Denver Tribune that the presence of
limestone on whitewood creek made
him doubtful OF any gold being there,
1t being almost an axiom among min
ers that limestone and gold arc never
known to mix. Well. had Tom NAL

Simply Read the Record

IF DEMOCRATI contemporaries would read the
economic history of the United States more care.
fully they would avoid some embarrassing mistakes.
Here is one editor of that political a~filiation who
remarks that "the American people have prospered
because their products have found sufficient markets
abroad to maintain a balance of trade" If any
man who is interested in that subject will turn to
che reports of the department of commerce In 1914,
following the enactment of the Underwood tariff
law, he will find that with the removal of the pro-
tective tariffs, our imports increased and our ex-
ports decreased until the balance of trade turned
against us. For several months prior to the out
break Of the war in Europe, we were buying abroad
more than we were selling, and in addition we were
paying European countries for ocean transportation,
for marine insurance, for tourist expenses, and divi-
dends on securities. That was why American In
dustry broke down in 1914. Nothing but the out
break Of the war, cutting off imports and creating
unrecedented demands for our products, checked that
destructive trend of trade. 1t is true that under n
protective tariff, the balance has been In our favor,
but it cannot be in our favor, in normal times, un-
der n Democratic tariff "for revenue only

Goals From Newcastlc

THE BUYING of British coal has set in in earnest.
= During the last four days of the week ended July
% over 100000 tons Of British steam and gas coal
was purchased and orders sent in for more. Ship.
ments will begin to arrive early in August.
This is a situation that no American will take a
great deal of pride in. 1t is unfortunate that a
coal strike is pending in this country. 1t is also
unfortunate that winter is approaching and a fuel
famine is impending. 1t is a further unfortunate
thing that coal is sorely needed for manufacturing
purposes.
However, in all these circumstances the public
still has faith in the good sense and reasonableness
of the miners and operators that they will, before
suffering overtakes us, arrive at a satisfactory agree
ment and start the wheels of industry in motion.

Hughes to Be Present

TT Is REPORTED that Secretary Hughes will at
tend the Brazilian Exposition and that he has
also displayed some interest in seeing the Tacna-
africa controversy between Chile and Peru to a fin
ish when 1t is again taken up in one or the other
country. If Secretary Hughes can be spared from
this country at that time, his presence in the Latin
American countries will lend great influence to the
prestige OF the United States in a quarter Of the
globe where foreign propaganda has been doing
much in recent years to injure the esteem In which
we would like to be held.
1t is some years now since Elihu Root made his
memorable visit to South America and the influence
of that visit has been felt to the present day, par
ticularly in Brazil, a nation which we count among
our irmest friends. Hughes possesses a rare per.
sonality and a force of character which would
largely d~issipate the suspicion in which we are
held by some of the L~atin-Americans whose daily
literary diet of affairs in the United States Is not
calculated to impress them In our favor, thanks to
a few poisoned-pen wielders who are paid to blackcn
the character of this nation. It is a trip worth
taking.
