GREECE IS UP AGAINST IT.
From dispatches received yesterday it is evident that after
having remained out of the turmoil in Europe thus far, Greece
at last must either defend’ her territory from invasion or sub
mit to having her soil used ns a battleground for the contend
ing armies.
The predicament of Greece has been impossible from the
start. Her people almost overwhelmingly are, and have been,
in favor of the allies, while the king and court have seemed
to favor the central powers.
The former prime minister, before his retirement, gave the
allies permission to land forces at Salonica, and this, it is said,
is the reason given by the Germans and Bulgarians for the
invasion of Greece, that inasmuch ns the allies were allowed
the privilege of landing troops they likewise are entitled to the
same rights.
If, as was hinted in the dispatches, the invasion of the Bul
garians is under the terms of a secret treaty with Greece, it
means that the allies must soon discover such an agreement,
and will take steps to make reprisals.
Either way it is apparent that Greece must now take sides,
and whatever she does she is sure to suffer.

A GREAT MAN DIES.
In the death of Jim Hill, America loses one of the greatest
men she has produced.
Hill was a builder. In him was found the rare combina
tion of a man who could conceive great ideas and at the same
time had the ability to carry them out.
To him, more than any other man, is due the rapid up
building of the West. He was an expert colonizer. When he
placed a man on a parcel of ground he was not through with
him, hut devoted time and energy in helping that man to make
a success of his venture.
He studied’ farming in all its phases, and probably was one
of the best practical fanners in the world. He did this not for
liis own immediate benefit, but that he might help the farmers
along his railroads., who in their prosperity helped him in turifc
Hill’s success in life is an example of the possibilities for
the young man in America. He came from Canada a poor
young man, yet when he died he was master of one of the great
est fortunes in the world, and had done more for the upbuilding
of his adopted country than any of his contemporaries.

KENNECOTT COPPER CORPORATION. {
I The Boston Connnercial on April 29 published the follow
Kennecott Copper has issued a report covering its opera
tions for the period from May 27, 191o, to the end ot the year.
It is a most comprehensive statement of the corporations or
ganization, giving in detail the various purposes tor which its
capital stock was issued. At the end of last year the corpora
tion had outstanding 2,754,625 11-13 shares, and it owned the
property, assets and liabilities of the Kennecott Mines Com
pany and' the Bcatson Copper Company; also 454,504 shares
of Utah Copper, all of the stock and bonds of tin* Copper River
& Northwestern Railway, 13,000 shares of Alaska Steamship
Company, out of 30,000 shares issued, 1,330,280 shares of Bra
den Copper Mines, $5,887,000 of Braden Copper Mines bonds,
and $9,782,000 of the 10,000,000 isjsue of Kennecott Copper Cor
poration bonds. (>n December 31, 1915, it hail $7,354,901 net
surplus of cash and quick assets for working capital.
During the seven months under review the company pro
duced approximately 65,000,000 pounds of copper, onl\
183 pounds of which had been received at the smelter up to the
end of the year ,the remainder being contained in ore in transit.
The cost of this copper figured' only 4.54 cents a pound.
The average price received for copper during this period
was 19.36 cents a pound, and the average selling price received
during the first three months of 1915 was 25.284 cents a pound.
It is stated in the report that during the last quarter of 1915
the Braden Copper Mines Company, of whose issued capital
stock Kennecott owns 96.45 per cent, produced 11,236,470
pounds of copper at an average cost of 7.9 cents, and its earn
ings for the three months are estimated at $1,033,000.
A review of the report warrants the estimate that the
Kennecott Copper Corporation will produce 110,000,000 pounds
of copper this year and benefit from tin* production ot 110,000,- 1
000 additional pounds through its ownership of Utah Copper
and Braden shares. The average cost of this copper should *
not he in excess of 6 1-2 cents a pound, and the corporation, ^
therefore, should earn directly and indirectly somewhere be- {
tween $14 and $15 a share for its stock. i

Gradually, but with the pathos of a dead moral certainty, ‘
they are taking the ambrosia out of mortal existence. Down in
congress right now they are mulling over a measure designed
to cut campaign expenditures to a minimum. Patriotism is go- __
ing to be a diminishing virtue in this buxom realm after a
while. Of what benefit is politics to a nation so decadent as to
limit its slush funds? Doesn’t a free American citizen have
the right to be bought, if he desires?
--:o:
The coincidence of President Wilson’s declaration that
sometimes it is necessary to knock a man down to make him
respect you, and tin* report that Americans in Mexico are being
treated with marked courtesy since the United States troopers
administered a severe drubbing to the Villistas at Ojos Azules,
is striking.
-:o:
Insanity costs every inhabitant in the United States $1 a
year. ’Twould be fine if mental abberation never cost any more
than that.
