UP IN ARMS AGAINST PROMOTERS Mississipp' Arouses Bottoms Opposition the People. Among The sportsmen of the North Central states are up in arms because a few land reclaimers and promoters who are endeavoring to drain about 200 miles of Mississippi bottoms, wh'ch at present are the only wild breeding duck and water fowl If the land grounds in that vicinity. was any good after it was drained it . would be another question. During the high water season these lands are continually under water from the Mississippi overflow, and it would cost hundreds of dollars per acre to reclaim this land, and then the owners would never be safe from drowning. The states in which these lands are located are evidently little concerned what becomes of them. If the government had the power to set aside slough lands for duck preserves a majority of the foregoing conditions could be taken care of, but as it is the land promoters trim a few suckers and take the money and get out. The country is spoiled for the ducks and the land is finally deserted by the farmer because of too many floods. We also have plenty of slough land for a public hunting ground in this county, but up to the present time nothing has been done to take care of the boys who do not belong to a duck club and the result Is that they get very little shooting. The sportsmen should demand of the state to set aside the slough lands for the ducks and other wild fowl, which lands also afford ideal places for many of the fur bearing animals. The game that is raised upon such places is by far greater than anything else that could be derived from the land. Our national and state governments have in the past paid too little attention to our wild life, but it has been such a hard fight to beat the market men that few were willing to get into it. LEAGUE MEETING. The baseball teams have just ended their inning and now the magnates will take up the trail where the players left off. A conference is to be held at Santa Catalina island, opening Monday morning, where irn portant business of the Pacific coast league will be discussed. William H. McCarthy, who is president of the league, will have some opposition when it comes to voting for the new president. H. W. Lane, president ol the Salt Lake baseball club, has left for the scene of battle and he is ready to do his bit in promoting harmony among the big fellows. Member Federal Reserve 8ystem 4 Per Cent on 8avlnge to '2 to 4 cents per foot; common labor from 3.25 to 4.25; skilled labor from 3.50 to 4.75; hauling from an average of 31 c per ton to 57 cents. To these increases, wfihich it was claimed amounted to at least a 50 per cent general increase in operating costs, was added increased smelting and freight rates, with the result that ores in the northern counties must contain, to be profitably mined, at least double the values required in earlier days. The situation in the. territory tributary to Denver was unfavorably affected still further by the closing down of the Denver and Pueblo smelting plants, necessitating a much longer railroad haul to Leadville. t The testimony developed that Colorado railroads, particularly the Denver & Rio Grande Western, were maintaining a sympathetic attitude toward the metal-minin- g industry, and that schedreadjusted rates from war-tim- e ules in most instances had been almost, if not quite, as low as pre-wa- r figures; that burdensome increases in freight rates were due in practically every instance to a longer haul caused smeltby the closing down of near-b- y ers. Testimony at Denver indicated that the increase in smelting rates was about in the same proportion to the increased cost of mine operation, and that the A. S. & R. company was spending large sums of money to improve its plants at Leadville and Durango. Engineering and Mining AMENDED ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION OF FIDELITY BUILDING William F. Hoppe, worlds champion 18.2 balkline billiardist, defended his title successfully in the most sensationally played match of his career, when he won from Jacob Schaefer, 500 to 447 points. Schaefer is the son of the former champion. He has won the title and lost it to Hoppe and he was very near the top in this match again. Every American is a 100 per cent American or no American at all. There is no such thing as a counterfeit dollar that is good for fifty, sixty or eighty cents.Toledo Dlade. LOAN ASSOCIATION."

HOPPE RETAINS TITLE. Overhead Expenses Have Nearly Doubled, But Silver Brings Only Pre-wa- r Prices. Hearings before the U. S. Senate God alnd Silver Inquiry Commission, conducted in Denver, Cripple Creek, Leadville, and Ouray, Colo., disclosed a general belief that Congress could do little at this time to improve conditions affecting the mining industry, and that the principal and outstanding obstacle to Increased activity, or cause for depression, was high operating costs. This was exemplified by a comparative statement filed by operators from Clerk Creek county, showing the cost of supplies, labor, and hauling in 1913 and 1923 as affecting mining operations in that district.
