ONE GOT AWAY.
The Happy Father Under the Cir
cunistances Was Satisfied.

cunlSt1nces was satisfied.
From the New York Mercury.
Gibbs was a commercial traveller and had
gone on a journey to the north. A few
days afterward the Gibbs household was
ir creased by Cne-a boy. AS the mother
was very Ill the doctor was requested TO
write out telegram informing Gibbs of
the addition to his family, and also his
wife's Illness, and asking him to return
home with as little delay as possible.
This was done, ana the telegram was
given to the servant to send off. That in
telligent girl, being unable to read, put
the message in her pocket and forgot all
about IT. The next day Gibbs paid a flying
visit home and was gratified to find his wife
and the family going on nicely. After stay
ing at home a few hours he took nis de-
parture without anything having been said
about the telegram, which his wife natural
IL supposed he had received.
A day or two after he had gone the SER
want found the message in her pocket, and
after consulting her favorite policeman,
she decided to send 1t off at once without
saying a word to any one about the delay
That night Gibbs upon returning to his
hotel, was Mortified when the following tele-
gram, bearing that days date, was placed
in his hand:
Another addition; son; your wife is
very i'll; return at once"
Another he gasped. Great jupiter
He rushed to the station and took the
next train home, and, dashing into the
house In a state Of frenzy, demanded to
krOw what had happened. The servant
confessed all. The next day there was q
vacancy for an Intelligent, honest girl at
Gibbs establishment.

VIEW OF DANES ISLAND.

Another thing which seemed strange to me-
ard which your readers may feel disposed
to question, is the fact that, while In the
United States we are ria of mosquitoes and
other similar pests during the winter
months, yet here In Spitzbergen. with
winter all the year round, mosquitoes are
both plentiful and enormous, both in appe-
tite and size.
What Weilman Has to Meet.
What about Mr.. Wsllman's chances for
success? Well. to be frank with you, be-
lieve his chances would have been better
had he started later in tao season The
arctic currents are peculiar, and no one can
tell much about them They are seldom
twice alike in successive seasons. One
thing, however, Is reasonably certain The
fields of Ice seem to move south during the
early part of the season. and return to tie
rorthward later. In my opinion, Mr. Well
man is both a scientific and daring explorer
and will, of course. have the advantage of
the experiments of others who have pre-
coded him. But | think he has made a mis-
take In not making his effort to get further
north with his vessel at about this season
CT the year. You see, 1t was on the 24th
day Of May that the Ragnvald Jarl was
lost. That vessel does not appear to have
been just the best suited for an ice encoun-
ter at any season. But had he remained
farther south until about the LIST or 10th of
August. then pressed as far north as posi-
bic with safety, and waited for an opening
IN the ice, believe he could have made a
bold dash northward and reached"a point
some two or three degrees nearer the pole
before the Ice would have closed in on his

Sale of the Thousand Islands.

From the Montreal Quebec) Witness.
The government is rejoicing over the sale
Of the Thousand Island. which. Il appears
are going OF cheap for cash. Over 800 have
been sold for the paltry sum of $4,000. or.
say. sl25 each The ontario government
was not given much time 10 consider their
purchase. The Dominion government has
had its own way. The ''nigger IN this
woodpile" is yet to be discovered. 1t is
not imaginable that the Dominion govern
ment would part with such a unique and
magnificent park property merely TO save
paying the Indians Interested $4,000 or
100000. Just what motive is behind the
determination Of the government to sell the
islands In spite Of public opinion is not evf-
dent. Those who remember all the Rykert
and other timber-land deals, and who look
back over the thirteen years record OF
this most corrupt government, viii look
for revelations In connection with this mat
ter some day.

From the Beattyville Enterprise.
Elihu Scrivner caught fifteen-podnd pike
In q rather peculiar manner recently. He
had q trout line set in the river about two
miles below Beattyville. The line was
baited with crawlsh. A catfish weighing
about pound swallowed the bait and the
pike swallowed the catfish. which spread
out the sharp fins on its side and back, i'm
palirg the pike from the inside. The form
Of the catfish could be plainly seen In the

The San Francisco Examiner did
good thing when it sent out inquiries to
the chairmen of the various state central
committees, as we'll as national commit
teemen, asking their opinions concerning
the attitude of Senator Hill toward the
tariff reform measure now pending i'll the
senate. The almost unanimo Gus condem-
nation of the New York senator is very
likely to open the eyes of that individual.
There was time when the name of David
B. Hill was power within the ranks of
Democracy, but that power has been de-
stroyed and he is without influence ex
cept within his own state and his power
even there is waning. He was at one
time presidential possibility, but it is
doubtful if his name will ever again be
mentioned in Democratic national con-

Press Comments on Territorial
Affairs.
Territorial Taxation.

AT the annual meeting of the board of
trustees of the Maxwell Land Grant COM
pany held in Ration last week, the board
adopted resolution that the grant COM
pany would not pay any further terri
county until the owners of large prop
critics in the several other counties we're
made to pay their taxes, either in the regu-
lar way or by process of law.
M. P. Pels, general manager of the
grant, in conversation with the editor of
the Reporter stated that the grant COM
pany had no kick against the sheriff and
collector of taxes of this county or against
the county commissioners and that they
would pay their portion of the county
tax as heretofore, but would make fight
against paying the territorial tax until
tax collections are enforced throughout
the territory and until the different sher-
ifs or rather their bondsmen shall have
paid the amounts now short in their &C.
counts.
The Reporter is pleased to note this
determination on the part of the Maxwell
Grant company, as it has always paid its
taxes promptly and is in a position to
successfully maintain it. The final out
come will result to the lasting benefit of
the whole territory.
While, to our personal knowledge, no
county in the territory has received less
benefit than Colfax, no county in the ter
ritory has paid as great proportion of
the expenses.
Owing to the tax collections in other
counties and the additional expense to
maintain the several new territorial in
stitutions the tax rate has been getting
heavier each year, while under rigid
enforcement of the collection laws with
the increased value of land and improve
ment the rate should be lowered.
Since Governor Thornton has been in
Office, he has addressed some strong
letters to the several collectors in regard
to their duties and notified them that
they will be held on their bond for
taxes they fail to collect by reason of
their negligence, yet the owners of
large tracts of land, who in years gone
by, had by reason of political influence
successfully stood off the collectors, are
to-day doing the same thing. 1t is the
failure of these large land owners to pay
their taxes that has so largely increased
the burdens of those who do pay their
taxes and it is these large land owners
that we are after. snake them pay up
or sell the land" should be the motto of
every collector in the territory.-Raton
Reporter.

gold strikes are being reported every day,
and the output will be double that of
last year. The purchases at the Denver
