of the companies will come from the
Naval Association, yachtmen and coast
seamen of San Francisco, and the fourth

In behalf of the much-abused would

Some OF the defining was very laughable,

dense ignorance? L think | can give a

! required ''to teach" While they have
! been studying there has stood before
| them, like the skeleton at an ancient ban
! quet, the gaunt specter Failure, which,
| on the day of trial takes from them what
! Self-reliance and presence Of mind they
originally possessed.
l know from experience that many OF
! these ''would-be" teachers do not try to
! pass such rigid examination for mere
! child's play. To many it is a bread and
! butter question, and they alone know the
full significance Of failure.
GU, strong men, who are our severest
critics, do not, and can never know the
state of mental excitement and worry
these girls undergo when they sit be-
meath the eyes of the board, and when in
that state to thrust before them hetero-

excitement as only a woman can get,
what wonder is it that unheard-of mean
ing should be put to words? Meanings
which the applicants themselves Will
laugh at afterward, and correct without

DOES IT MEAN ,ARY7RiEC9

Last week County Surveyor Waller
was engaged in Surveying the land OF
the Central railroad in this city.
1t is possible that the work done by
the surveyor may have some connec>
ton with the building OF the new
depot that the Central has been prom-
ising the people OF Dawson 50 long.
While on this subject THE News
hopes that it is excusable in repeat
ing the fact that the depot OF the
Central road isbut little better in ap~
pearancea than an ordinary barn.
The News has invoked the aid of
all the powers that be in its efforts to
have the depot of this big railroad
system improved, but without avail,
and now it most grqciously suggests
that an attractive depot would help
the road in a business sense. Cities
are judged, IN great measure, by
their buildings, public and private,
and the character Of depots and their
surrounding are very good index to
the property of which they are part.
Railroads should at least keep their
stations in a condition to CORE. pond
favorably with the town they are in,
and to admit this much is equivalent
to unqualified condemnation of every
railroad station in Dawson. 1t does
seem as though the railroads, would
have enough local pride to keep
somewhere in sight of other improve
ments.
