1reka, once the golden city of the
mountains, where goId-dust was plenti-
ful and sports and miners made things
howl, has awakened from sleep lasting
over third of century and is now en-
Joylng another mining boom. We were
In that city in the spring of 1863, lust
after the collapse of the mining indus
try, and the depopulation of the town
caused by the exodus of its people to
the Idaho mines. 1t was pitilul to see
large brick structures, two and three
stories, high, completely abandoned. It's
streets we'll graded and clean, almost de-
serted and devoid of human life. and
those few who remained moving heaven
and earth to get away. Many of those
who went to Idaho returned to their
Nreka homes. An era of farming SUPER
seded that OF mining. and the town re-
covered some OF its ancient glory, but it
never became the Ireka of old, when the
miners and the arriero held full sway
and Chlnawoman rode into The burg

ever, that II IS highly important that men
who have such heavy responsibility as
railroad engineers should not be permit

some day result in mistake that would
cause the loss OF many valuable lives
The positions OF conductor and engineer
are the most important on train, and il
is necessary that they should ALWAYS
have clear head. The wisest way for
those upon whom depends the safety of
human beings to pursue is to be ex-

liquor entirely.

What would you do? This is uues-

unwittingly, Il would do so and so if
were in his place." we little dream of the
many contingencies he sees which are
hidden from US. In his place we might
after studying the situation, do lust as he
/ did, and more probably we might not do
so well under the pressure that bears on
/ him. Now our President is STUDYING
thoroughly every move he makes, and
we have no authority for thinking he is
not doing his best Any reflection on

ANARCHY.
Los Angeles Times
Eugene V. sDebs has been called an
anarchist. In his harangue at Hazards
Pavilion last night he proved concIus-
lively that the charge is true.
Debs' anarchy Is of a somewhat differ
ent type from that of Johann Most and
other professional devotees OF the red
flag. He Is sleeker and more plausible of
speech than the blatant unwashed bell
lower who carries the red flag in process
slons and has his pockets full of dyna-
mite. Debs' anarchy is sugar-coated. 1t
Is not, as he al present expounds it. of
( the kind that goes out into the open and
| boldly unmasks its hideousness. 1t is
too cowardly for that. But it is anarchy
| none the less, and anarchy in its
most dangerous form, because it is so
1 disguised as TO deceive the unWarv into
| accepting It's talsehood for truth and its
sophistry for logic.
THE FACT.
Placer Republican,
The South California papers wonld bava
people believe that North California was
frozen as solid as the frigid zone bv the
recent frost we had. The fact is only GER

then only IN certain localities. Placer

PROOF OF THE PUDDING,
fresno Republican
| There were whole lot of peonlo ,,,bo
said that Southern California tovnS
would become graveyards because of tho
restrictions imposed upon gambling and
other vices, but Notwithstanding sncI,
! sinister predictions these localities 80

/ sirable homeseekers of any portion or
California. The idea that hell is the mos
| profitable thing TO raise still has its adj

nor so influential as they were at one
time in the history of the country.
