More Democratic and Mose Artistic.

To THE CHRONICLE:-Your editorial
on our change from ''Stateliness TO Cozi-
ness'' tells the whole story Of the new
conditions and the consequent new direc-
ton Of our life. You might have added
that we are becoming more democratic
around the whole circle. The reason
(paradoxical as it may seem) we have not
done more to encourage the decoration Of
our buildings, public and private-our
Capitol, for instance, with historical paint
ings. our towns with statues-is because
the people in our stately regime looked
upon these things as such utterly absurd,
or at least unnecessary expenses. You
can't do any such thing without popular
support. The universal effort At coziness,
the introduction OF the cook stove instead
of the pot-hook, means the approach OF the
day when we shall become alert and alive
to all beautiful things.
Such Readers Make Work q Pleasure.
To THE CHRONICLE IL am both sur
prised and gratified at the extent and ".
riety of your last two oissnes-especially the
editorial, ''From Stateliness to Coziness,"
and the correspondent ''W," [from Lynn,
Mass.] Such articles 90 to the very bot
tom of things-eAch In its own way, and
are bound to take. beg you to continue
in this direction.
Very truly yours,
RUFUS BARRIN0R.

A Historic Duel by Historic Persons

From the Hickory Press.
On Sunday last we spent an hour with
the venerable William Hale, Of Hickory.
Mr. H. was born in 1899, and is now in his
S5th year. He left his native State, Massa-
chusetts. in 1920, and came to North Car
olina. When the unfortunate duel be-
tween DR.. Vance and Samuel Carson was
pending, the celebrated Col. David Crock
ett, of Tennessee, was on visit to some
relatives near Old Fort, in Mcdowell
county, and was by invitation present
when the duel came off. Mr.. Hale saw Col.
Crockett at Old Fort, and describes him as
a strongly built man, about five feet nine
inches in height, with blue eyes and
f1orid complexion. Col. Crockett was at
the time Mr. H saw him a member of the
House of Representatives from one of the
districts of Tennessee. DR.. Vance was
mortally wounded in the duel. DR.. Vance
(who was uncle to the present Senator
Vance) is represented by Mr.. Hale as a
man of bright and sparkling wit, as well
as considerable oratorical powers.

OUR CLIMATE.

wish eastern people, still frost and ice
bound, would consider this part of Ida
no. The frost has been out of the
ground for weeks, grass is green and
small vegetat lss-radish and onions
grown by the Chinese gardeners, are on
sale by them. This climate is what
eastern people, enduring winters of five
and six months, should live in to prop
eily appreciate it. 1t may seem in
credible to them-belisving as they do
that Id Tho is in the far north and COW
cred with a ten-foot blanket of snow
from September till June-but the
country is here and the climate is here,
and they only need to live here twelve
months to find they are as close behind
the throne of Paradise as they will ever
get while on this sphere. a.

1t will be a mining excitement that
will have good four alton, too. AL
that is needed is water, and the COM
pletion of great canal now projected
vii. do wonders towards the develop
ment Of region marvelously rich in
mineral. There are plenty of surface
indications of color, and prospecting
party now in the field has some "sam-
Piles" that are considered satisfactory to
the prime movers. 1t has long been
known that gold could be found along
the Snake, but the lack of water for
proper working prevented anything
being done. AS soon as water flows in
the canal OF the New York company to
the right locality, the mining industry
will awaken 10 fe and as Caldwell will
be the nearest point to these gold fields,
Caldwell will reap the benefits that will
accrue. There is money for those who
have faith in this town, and little CHI
dren now will not be vsry big by the
time the golden harvest is ready for the
reaper.
The agricultural resources of this re-
gion are proveroial, yet they will be
'axed to their utmost to provide for the
of those who will surely

Oregon Short Line down the Snake and

A prominent Nsw Yorker visiting this
city says Huntington advanced the
money for the completion of the Oregon
Pacific railway from Corvallis to va
quina Bay; that the Central Pacific has
secured the controlling interest in the
Oregon Railway & Navigation company.
Huntington is reported to have boasted
that he now controls every mile CT the
Pacific coast railroads.
