REGULAR JUBILEE
That's What Minister
Damon Says of Hawaii.
Saws Honolulu People Are Pros
perous-AnnexatiO Much
Talked Of.

Hon. S. NJ. Damon returned by the
China yesterday, the picture of health
after his extended visit to the United
States and England. Regarding the
outlook for loans, cable or electric rail-
ways, Mr.. Damon said:
You people down here are the most
prosperous of any l have met; Hawaii
is the hub of the universe, so far as
prosperity is concerned, and it seems
like a perpetual jubilee here. AS to
loans, nothing can be done about float
ing loan until the annexation ques-
ton is settled-if we get that we will
not need any loan.
1.-The question was not preached in
England; everything there was jubilee,
and there was really so much to see
that it was difficult for Mr.. Napier,
Curtis and myself to get around. 1t
was like a new life to me, and l en-
joyed every moment of my time.
LAS to annexation said Mr.. Da-
mon, 81 can say that the Islands We're
never talked about as much as they
are today The people of the United
States are talking about us everywhere,
in public places and on the corners.
The Islands are attracting great deal
of attention, but Congress is the body
to say what will be done. Annexation
is the theme in the United States
Mr.. Damon was at the Cabinet con-
ference at p. m. yesterday, and at the
close Minister Lansing rendered his
resignation, which was accepted. This
was in accordance with the conditions
on which Mr.. Lansing accepted the
portfolio. Mr.. Damon was Immediately
re-commissioned Minister of Finance,
and will enter upon his duties today.

Red Hdfr in all Ases

Since time immemorial red hair has been the object of ill-humored jokes just why no one seems to know, unless it be that Judas Iscariot, was thus endowed. And yet, despite the popular prejudice against auburn locks, there are few things more beautiful than a woman with such hair.
 Red-haired women have played prom inent parts in the worlds history and have caused many kingdom to tremble and even to fall. Helen of Troy was red-haired, and she certainly caused trouble enough for one woman. Cath erine l of Russia, Joan of Arc, Elizabeth of England, Mary Stuart, Anne of Austria, tx Empress Eugenie, Ninon de PEncos, Lucretia Borgia and Beatrice Cenci all had red hair and all are famous.
 Nevertheless, it is a curious fact that in all ages there has been aversion to hair of thls hue. Red has always been considered the color of war and blood shed, and the crueIest gods of savage races have always been adorned with red topknots.
 The ancient Egyptians were violently opposed to red hair and once year burned maiden of this description ID the hope of exterminating or lessening what they considered curse.
 In Spain red hair is abhorred on the ground that it is "Judas hail." Among some savage races red hair is held in great esteem, especially among some of the Alaskan tribes.
 In New Zealand red-headed woman is considered as on the road to paradise.
 Students ot red-hairology say that a woman thus adorned is more cruel, brighter, more deceptive and more am- bilious than a woman having other col ored hair. Whatever truth there may be in this, it is fact that red-hared women have a strange fascination for most men, and red headed old maids are almost unknown.-Exchange.

The story of the wonderfully rich plac- CTS discovered along the great Yukon river has been told many times through the press and otherwise. ''The hrst gold was discovered near the trading post of Forty Mile," says the Alaska Mining Record, "and in the spring of 1888 the first real mining" was actually begun.
 Forty Mile is on the Yukon, FPS miles from Juneau river. There are but two practical routes by which to reach Cir. cle City on the Yukon, the present cen- ter of mining operations; one is by water from San Francisco, via St. Michaels, thence by river boats up the Yukon to the famous diggings; the other and short CT route IS via Juneau through Chlkoot pass and down the Yukon river. The distance between Juneau and Circle City is 978 miles via Chikcoot, the summit of which is 115 miles from Juneau. The following is the several distances from Circle City to the various placer camps, viz: Circle City to Birch creek, 8 miles; Deadmond Creek, 50 miles; Greenhorn creek, 55 miles; Independence creek, 60 miles; Mastodon creek 61 miles, and to Eagle creek, 6S miles. In going by way of Juneau the Record says parties should st art from Juneau about the middle of March, as they can then do their own transporting on sleIghs across the summit (Chikoot pass) and down the lakes to where good timber for boat down the Yukon made when the ice breaks" The same authority further says not less than four or five men should comprise each party, as one tent, stove, tools, etc., will suffice for all One of the party should have knowledge of boat building. No party should go to the Yukon without at least one years provisions, and enough for three years would be all the better; this is the ad
 vice given by persons at all familiar with the situation. One going Tn from San Francisco via St. Michaels and the mouth of the Yukon could purchase all necessary supplies at Frisco, but, if going in via Juneau, the Record says that all supplies can be bought at Ju- neau at fair prices, and by doing SO avoid purchasing a whole lot of useless and unnecessary plunder. Once at Ju- neau one can tell just what is needed.

The Ideal Newspaper.

"The Ideal Newspaper" I never saw one. Like the flower that never withers, the bird that never alights, the land where the sun never fades, it exists only in the fancy of "the sucker who pre-, sumes," whom we are told the "elements consume"
 I write from the standpoint of a coun- try editor. If you have ever been in his shoes you know that he IS the repository of the secrets of the community, none of which he must ever divulge. He must publish paper chock full of local news whether anything has happened in the community or not. His judicial mind must weigh the relative importance of the Venezuelan treaty and MT. Engly's high hat bill. He must discourse with equal fuency upon the silver question and Farmer Jones' Jersey calf. China paintings and Poland China pigs, pre- served peaches and the perseverance of the Saints, foreign wars and local strikes, justification by faith and justification of type, the doctrine of election and election returns, the doings of the last synod and details of the Fitzbert Corsimmons fight, Weyler's latest butch. cry and the receipts of the church soclal, the debates, in the Reichstag and the squabbles in the council, must all be equally familiar to his versatile mind
 With all this, he must wait on the delinquent subscriber; discount the bill of the patent fakir; stand off his wash bill i; always go we'll dressed; pay the printer on Saturday night, whether a cent has come in or not; write free puffs, one hundred lines to every one he gets pay for; boom the local statesman who owes him for three years subscript ption; in short, be all things to all men, make no enemies, never have name mispelled nor mistake in a date, take the "cuss. ing'' of the community and never "cuss" back-this is the ideal country editor and his paper is certainly idyllic.

The following IS sample of number of items that have been going the rounds of the press in the country for some months past:
 The Southern Pacific Company has, through it's land agent, w. H Mills, issued circular stating that miners who wish to prospect on railroad lands can do so under contract, and the company will willingly relinqush all claim to any operated mine on their lands Lands which can be reasonably classified as mineral lands will be held for encour agement of mining, the policy of the company being to encourage mining and the development of such enterprises.
 This item and others similar in tone have been printed most consistently dur ing the past few weeks, more especially in newspapers with railroad leanings, but quite often in those which have not.
 This work on the part of the railroad people at this particular time is in the nature of "back firing" in their fight against the mineral lands bill now before Congress. Doubtless clippings from the papers will be made and presented to the committees of Congress to show that there is no real need for the passage of the p opposed bill, because the railroad will d more for the miners than would the ,vernment. In southern Oregon the same tactics are being pursued. It is presumption for the railroad to make these offers in regard to lands that they have no honest title to. It is not theirs 70 give to mil CTS or any others the privilege to develop or work mineral lands. Their offer, as far as it relates to the lands to which they have already obtained patents, is made in order to disarm opposition to their plans to ac- quire title to others M & s. Press.
