Chicago, Jan. ! The parade of the unemployed in Chicago waa significant. but nothing mora.. There' a no denying that there ettll are a great many re duced payrolls, many factories through out the weat aa wall aa eaat running on ahort time, many Jobbing houses that are oa retrenchment basis. AH over Illinois,, for instance, the factories are either ehjit down, oa short time or else chiefly filling old orders. Freight earnings of railroads are falling off rapidly. Manufacturers, Jobbers and merchants have not recovered buoy ancy ; they are keeping Inside their own resources, for during. the recent financi al flurry the banks, hampered by the lnelastlo, outgrown currency system and In self -protection, required payment of loans at a rata that caused hardship all along tha line. The recent agreement of tha currency commission of the Am erican Bankers' association upon a new currency plan embracing all of the needed features of elasticity and great er security now promises to bring U pass some serious consideration by con gress of the financial question. When congressmen begin hearing from the business men, which Includes farmers and stockmen, ' In their districts snd states, it Is a safe forecast that they will really take up for auoptlon this cur rency measure that has such a .hall mark of careful preparation. when bankers dlssgreed, senators and repre sentatives declared the solution of the question was "too much for them." Some 115,000 tons of the wool from farms and sheep ranches aa far west aa the Rocky mountain slopes curiously enough was Whirled past Chicago in lvm to mills In the east, where "It went right In and turned around and came right back weat again, at leaat 25,000, 000 yards of it did!

Tha fact that no bier woolen mills have been started near ths big woolen goods market was recently commented on by W. H. Man'sa, industrial commissioner of Chicago. "Wool freights from Blll .nsrs. Montana, to Boston are $1.70, to Chlcagi $1.35, a difference of 86 cents a hundredweight," he said. "Cleaning re duces the weight of wool about one half, so there would be a profit to wool growers and manufacturers of $24 a ton. which la per oent on $$,041,607, In Just the saving on freight" The European count and marquis and duke have taken $$00,000,000 from ths United States to say nothing of the charming and wealthy young women who won the titles of counteaa or mar quise of duchess, according to a stir ring appeal to the Illinois branch of the Conaumera' league.

Recital at Eilers. Despite the inclement weather a large audience waa present at the recital given by fillers piano house at their recital hall Friday evening at which Charles Cutter, baritone, was soloist. Mr. Cutters baritone voice waa very much enjoyed, particularly in the Ar morer's song from Robin Hood and the Arabian romance by Couchols. The ac companiments for Mr. Cutter were played with the pianola as well as a group of pif .0 solos embracing s wide range of music from the dainty ballet of Chamlnade to the ponderous Don Jusn fantasia of Liszt. Tnese recitals, while primarily given for the purpose of demonstrating the capabilities of the pianola, are becoming more popular each season as everyone attending is always assured of a most enjoyable musical evening. The soloist for Fri day, February 7, will be Miss M. Evelyn Hurley, contralto. AUTOPSY REVEALS BABY OF STONE WeVsboro, Pa., Feb.

Craddock Says About Denny Dulin : "I have no hesitation in recommending the Denny Dulin group of claims to anyone looking for a bona fide mining investment, and, if the work of exploita tion is conducted on scientific and businesslike lines, handsome profits may confidently be looked forward to." ,V V : . ' "J . f ' i Mr. Craddock is a consulting mining engineer and metallurgist of note and when he volunteers a statement of any kind looking for ward to the probable profit of a mining property under his examina tion it is a safe bet that his judgment will be confirmed later by the facts. It ia seldom that Mr. Craddock makes as strong a statement about any property as is quoted from his report in the above lan guage Mr. Craddock's indorsement, therefore, is valuable, providing the DENNY DULIN mine is conducted along scientific and business like lines. ' It is with pardonable pride, consequently, that we announce that we have followed Mr, Craddock's advice in the development of the mine, applying every scientific device and method within the knowl edge of the practical men who are managing this property. With respect to the business-like management of the company, no further evidence of our sincerity along this line is obtainable than the mere statement that the following well-known business men of Portland are the officers and directors of the company ALEX SWEEK. President. I. ARONSON, Vice-President. GEORGE T. MURTON, Secretary and Treasurer. DR. SANFORD WHITING, Director. J. H. YATES, Director. DENNY DULIN is beyond the prospect stage. The ore is in sight, a large body having been uncovered at the bottom of the incline shaft, 105 feet deep. Ore assaying all the . way from $15 to $75 per ton is -ready to be hoisted to the surface, shipped to the reduction plant, a few miles distant, and the proceeds divided among the stockholders. ' The hoisting machinery is ready to install when the funds are suffi- cient. The time is ripe for this investment. Only a few weeks wilt place this stock in safety deposit vaults, where it will stay. Ninety, days from now none of it will be purchasable at any price. NOTE THIS: The man with an investing turn of mind seldom finds as excellent a proposition as this: Most people wait, fearing to ? venture in the early stages of a mining proposition. Those who wait ' for a long time never get in on the ground floor of a good oppor- ; tunity. When they are ready to invest, they find that the stock they wished to buy has been taken from the market. Those who. buy while stock is purchasable at a low price usually find that most of their investments prove successful. The man or woman who will. get ac- " quainted with DENNY DULIN now will reap benefit! that he would' have mourned to the last day of his life had he refused to buy when he. did.
