HOW
THE WORD "GERRYMANDER"
STARTED — ITS MEANING.—
A gerrymander (pronounced witb
a hard “g” Is an unnatural and un
fair division of a state or county
Into election districts or other civil
divisions for the purpose of giving
the largest number of votes to the
political party In power. Hostile
voters are put Into districts certain
to go agnlnst the dominant party
and friendly voters added to districts
where the parties are equally di
vided.
The nume originated In Massachu
setts in 1812, while Elbridge Gerry
was governor. Governor Gerry Influ
enced the legislature to redlstrlct
the state to Insure victory In the
next election. When the Democratic
legislature finished with Its work,
one district In Essex county resem
bled a dragon in outline. This was
shown on a map of Massachusetts
which Benjamin Russell, the Feder
alist editor of the Boston Sentinel,
hung up In his office.
The celebrated painter, Gilbert
Stuart, coming Into the office one
day and observing the queer shape
of the Essex district, added with his
pencil a head, wings and claws and
exclaimed: "That will do for a
salamander!" ‘‘Better say a Gerry
mander,” replied the editor. Thus
the name wus coined and soon came
into genernl use.
“How Big It a Bridge?"
It an Unutual Question
The question ‘‘How big is a bridge?”
Is asked by ‘‘Wire Engineering,” a pub
lication, and answered by the state
ment : ‘That depends on the ‘meas
uring stick.’ ”
Some say the Golden Gate bridge
will be the biggest; others say the
George Washington will still hold Its
first place in suspension bridges. For
the third place, the Ambassador and
the Delaware compete, while for the
fourth place, the Delaware, Brooklyn
and Manhattan bridges are contest
ants.
'Bigness In suspension bridges, there
fore, is a matter of the factors picked
for the measuring.
Suspension bridges are “bullt-to
order"—built to meet local traffic con
ditions, present and future, and every
such bridge Is a designing and con
structing problem unto Itself, a prob
lem for the traffic, bridge and cable en
gineers, the geologist and financier.
With the historical Brooklyn bridge
as a starting point In big suspension
bridges, each bridge since then has
been built big to meet some local traf
fic condition.
How Pip* Tobacco It Mad*
Pipe tobacco is made by passing the
dried leaf through a cutting machine,
stoving or panning It on hot metal
plates, and then cooling It. It Is then
subjected to hydraulic pressure, which
forms it into hnrd slabs, which are cut
into bars, wrapped and again pressed.
Most pipe tobacco contains a portion
of Perique or I.atakla, the former
grown in I.oslsiana and the latter in
Asia Minor, both too strong to be used
nlone. Bolls or twists of tobacco are
also prepared for pipe smoking. The
leaf Is spun Into colls or ropes of uni
form diameter, the rolls are baked for
a few hours, and are then placed In
strong presses. Olive oil may be
added to the leaf If a black product
Is desired.
How Batik Ic Mad*
In making batik, the design Is first
sketched on the cloth with a pencil;
then all the intricate portions which
are to be protected from the first dye
are car ‘‘ully covered on both sides of
the cloth with melted wax. This Is
done by hand, by means of a tiny
spouted cup the size of a thlmbie. By
dyeing, removing the wax, rewaxing
and redyeing several times, the piece
of batik is finally made. It seems
simple enough, but weeks, or perhaps
months of patient labor go Into Its
making. Some of the best cloth, worked
in beautiful designs, Is restricted to
the use of royalty and the court
dancers.
How Fast W* Read
Such tests ns have been made In
dicate that there Is considerable vari
ation, depending upon the nature of
the contents that are being read, the
type used, and other factors. Huey

INFORMATION FOR
SMALL LODE GOLD
MINERS PLANNED
' Engineers'of the U. S. Bureau
of Mines have recently inspect
ed 150 small lode gold mines in
Western states to gather infor

equipping and developing
properties handling less than
100 tons per day. The data ob
tained is to be compiled and
published later.
The survey is designed to as
sist operators of small proper

How Chicago Fire Raged
The great fire of Chicago, October,
1S71, broke out In a barn in DeKoven
street. The flames could not be con
trolled because they were fanned by
a gale, consequently the fire raged for
two days over nn area of 2,100 acres.
Seventeen thousand four hundred fifty
buildings were destroyed, causing 200
deaths and rendering more than 70,000
homeless. Property to the value of
$190,000,000 was destroyed.
How Much Candy We Eat
Since some people eat none and some
eat a great deal, and owing to the
fact that candy made In the home can
not be included, a per capita average
of candy which has been purchased Is
the best figure which can be given.
It amounts to about 13 pounds a year
per person.
especially in such cases as they
are not able 'co employ consult
ants. The information, when
carefully analyzed and cor
related, will be of marked val
ue to the small operator. It is
planned to issue information
circulars covering the best
methods <of development for
different conditions, milling
methods for different 'types of
ores, unit costs of development
in different districts and actu
al installation costs of small
milling plants. Separate cirv
culars will be issued on a few
individual operations where
good practices in development,
mining and milling are being
followed.

Stewart Prosperity Increasing
While our own little burg
continues to languish in the
doldrums created by the .de
pression and resultant decad
ence of silver mining, our Can
adian neighbor, Stewart, B. C.,
is developing an increasing
prosperity as a result of recent
mining developments in that
locality and particularly to the
reopening of the United Em
pire property, where some
thirty-odd men are employed.
Being situated virtually in
Stewart’s back-y a r d, t h e
effects of the mine payroll are
becoming increasingly appar
ent in the inflow of money to
local business houses resulting
from enlarged purchasing. Re
sumption of development at the
Big Missouri will also tend to
improve business conditions by
increasing employment of
local workers and providing
considerable freighting busi
ness.
The several leasing operat
:ons at the Dunwell are also an
important factor in aiding the
communal prosperity.
Vancouver Mining Journal
Fine Boater For District
An excellent panoramic pict
ure of the Salmon river valley,
showing the location of most of
the important mines in the Sal
mon district, was published re
cently by Western Canada
Mining News, of Vancouver, to
gether with a number of local
writeup’s of excellent adver
tising value to the district.
This publication is the best
booster for the Portland Canal
district of all the mining pub
lications of the south and well
deserves such patronage as res
idents of this locality can offer.
Helping this accurate and en
terprising sheet is helping a
good friend.
The salvage company en
gaged in an attempt to raise
and beach the long lost Cana
dian treasure steamer Islander,
is fast nearing the critical stage
of operations. Cradled under
a giant barge by 40 two-inch
cables, the sunken steamer has
been moved 300 feet toward
the shore at Green’s Bay, on
the lower end of Douglas Is
land, where it is planned to
beach her on a high tide.
