The Premier Mine distributed another $300,000 dividend January 4. This brings the total dlv)(l(‘nds! from that property to $14,350,000. The first divi- dend was declared in December, 1921, eight ycursl 4ag0. However, the propery had been in profitable opuration for nearly a year when that dividend | was declared. The mine is therefore approximately | nine years old. [ The Premier is capitalized for $5,000,000. For sometime it has been paying quarterly dividends of $300,000, or at the rate of 24 per cent. of the capital. These figures cause one to recall the Chichagoff | Mine that paid millions in dividends to its three| stockholders during the dozen years or more thut‘ it operated in high-grade ore. Both properties paid for themselves over and over again. i SENATOR WATSON TO RETIRE. Senator James E. Watson of Indiana, Republican Senate leader, has announced that he will retire| at the end of his present term. He said he had devoted thirty-six years of his life to the pub]lc? service and that he felt that he should give the| rest of it to making a fortune for himself. Senator Watson’s successor will be elected in 1932. Senator Watson’s political fortunes have been allied during recent years more or less with the Ku Klux Klan, and the latter organization is in very bad repute in Indiana at the present time. It was driven from offices in every one of the| Indiana mumicipalities in' which it was intrenched. Some of the cynically inclined will no doubt try to see a connection between the Watson announce- | ment and the recent Indiana elections. | | NEW YORK AS A FOKEST STATE. New York State is about to purchase 1‘000.000; acres of land for reforestation and park purposes.| This is equivalent to 1,562% square miles, consider- ably more than are in the State of Rhode Island. The State already has 7,000 or 8000 square miles of forest land—an area larger than the combined | States of Connecticut and Rhode Island. Inasmuch as the farm acreage in New York decreased nearly 3,000,000 acres in fifteen years little difficulty 1n} purchasing the desired lands for $20 or less an| acre is apprehended. The State has appropriated | $20,000,000 for the purpose. A The State is improving these forest lands. They | are administered under the State park legislation. Fine highways traverse them making them accessible tween them and grappled his Maryland compatriot. There was no charging on the part of Bishop Cannon at that time. It was apparent that he did not like the look in Senator Tydings's eyes. The persistent publicity man of the St. Louis Chamber of Commerce gives out that the St. Louis Art Museum had rejected an offer of $10,000 for a Stuart painting of Washington for which it had paid $35,000, six years ago. Well, well! If it had accepted the $10,000 it would have been a news item of some interest. The Anchorage Times intimates that it cannot be expected to cry because Southeast Alaska must and then wait a week between mails. Out there for most of the winter they have ten days between them.

BISHOP CANNON IN BELLIGERANT | ATTITUDE. | A B | Bishop James Cannon, Jr, of the Methodlst‘ Episcopal Church, South, styled Pope of Vnrgmia,; by Senator Glass, had a fight with newspaper cam-! eramen recently. He was down at Montrose, Cali- fornia, where his son owns a school, Cannon Mili- | tary Academy, lending moral support, but no other | kind, to the son. The latter, Richard M. Cannon, | had got tangled up with the civil courts for not; paying his teachers and the criminal courts on| account of charges that he maintained unsanitary conditions. The cameramen attempted to take ptotographs of the distinguished Prohibitionist, poli- tician and Wall Street speculator. Shouting, “What right have you to take my picture,” he charged the news-picturemen. People throughout the coun- try are chuckling. This is not the first time Bishop Cannon has come near fisticuffs. In a meeting of the plat- form committee at Houston, apparently feeling secure in his cloth, he very plainly intimated that Senator Tydings of Maryland was not truthful. The young whirlwind from the old Free State began to climb over chairs in an effort to reach the dictatorial Bishop. Senator Blease of South Carolina got be- |ver paper's article, one sent in by an anonymous served that eight of these “killings” were listed as having occurred in Denver and so it conducted a quiet local investigation of its own and came to the conclusion that the Herald has been grievously misinformed. The clip sheet further says, quotin; the Denver paper: 5 SER hee o The incontrovertible fact is that prohibi- tion had nothing to do with at least four of the fatalities. | Hardware Co. HARRIS p. m.

The Herald has received two copies of the Den- prohibitionist and one by an anti-prohibitionist who was not afraid to sign his name. The Herald has checked back on its own record of the four ques- tioned cases. The Herald’s report on these cases came from the office of the City Clerk of the City of Denver, the envelope being postmarked at the Denver post office” at 6:30 p, m., August 13, 1929. The City Pickett’s efforts to discredit the Herald's records, shows conclusively a direct tie-up between each of these four questioned deaths and prohibition en- forcement. Yesterday's Telegram printed a story about a stowaway on the Leviathan. It was telephoned to the paper by Roy W. Howard, the Telegram'’s pub- lisher. It was a good story, and its merit was in- creased by its being the first new story to be tele- phoned from ship to shore. But suppose it hadn't been the publisher, but a reporter. Maybe he would have queried his editor, “Want stowaway story- tele- phoned?” And maybe the editor would have radioed back “No."(New York World.)
