world has the single tax system been
given a trial, and that is in a New
Zealand colony.
The adoption of the single tax idea
in Arizona is due almost to the enthusi-
astic efforts of the mayor of Prescott,
William o. O'Neill. Mayor O'NeiIl has
been for many years one of the celebri'
ties of the southwest AS Republican
he has held a number of offices, among
them that OF adjutant general of the
state. He was mayor of Yavapai county
in the memorable days of the Pleasant
valley war, one of the bloodiest feuds
which ever ragged in that section. He
was elected mayor of Prescott, however,
az the leading exponent of political
theory with which the citizens had de.
Cided to experiment
Prescott has been under the single
tax system less than two months now,
so the results cannot yet be fairly
judged. Thus far there has been no com
plant from the taxpayers, and the new
system promises to furnish all the rev.
enue needed for municipal purposes. A
uniform tax of 81 is levied on each city
lot without discrimination as to value.
Besides this street tax of 81 is levied
on each male citizen, but this is intend
ed as merely temporary measure. The
only other tax levied is one of 81, 600
each on saloons, and the proprietors of
the most prominent drinking places ia
vor it. The experiment is an interesting

or less known in public and social life,
several of them being newspaper wo-
men Of marked ability.
Mrs. Clara Belle Brown, the director
general of the league, is a clever writer,
and as musician, song writer and lee
turer shows that her talents are of no
ordinary quality. Mrs. Brown is of
southern birth, but her father was q
colonel in the Union army.
Her interest in Cuba is as inherent as
her love Of liberty. She IS q skillful
organizer, and much Of her power is
probably due to personal magnetism.
She is of striking appearance, her eyes
being black and her hair silvery gray.
Mrs. ID. Lincoln, vice director gen
eral, is better known in Washington by
her pen name Of Bessie Beach. She or
ganized the Womans National Press
association and was for eight years its

adjutant general, is a well known news
paper woman. Mrs Martha O. Hunt,
treasurer, and Miss Mabel Clayton, sec
retary, are both prominent in Washing

TRAMrING In SNOW.
SOMETHING ABOUT THE DIFFICULT
TIES OF SNoWsHoE TRAVEL.

Different Sorts of Shoes Required in vari-
Gus Countries The Best Kind For Alaska.
Information of value to Prospective
Gold Seekers.
A lot of men who are now talking
iauntily about going into the Klondike
region In the spring have hazy idea that
part of the journey must be made on
snowshoes. And how many Of them, do
you suppose, know what it is TO walk all
day through deep mountain snowP Prob
ably not one out of ten, for IL Is only In a
very limited portion OF our country that
snowshoeing is INDUCED in to any extent
Tho average man, in fact, has never had a
pair Of snowshoes on his feet. He knows
what they are, for he has seen them hung
up in the windows of the sporting goods
stores. Probably he imagines, however,
that once he got the things on his feet he
would be able to slide along in some mi
raoulous manner with the greatest of ease.
Lots of people who have since learned
better have made this mistake. As q mat
ter Of fact, nothing will make man feel
more helpless or more clumsy than TO
strap TO his unaccustomed feet a pair of
snowshoes and set him adrift In field of
deep snow. Learning to ride bicycle is
a dull advertisement in comparison. You
feel all right until you attempt to lift one
foot. Then all your sense of security van
ishes and you begin to doubt whether you
ever really did possess even faint idea of
equilibrium. The tendency to Immediately
walk pigeon toed" is shade stronger, II
anything, than that which prompts the
unskilled bicyolist to run into instead of
around every obstruction.
But the amateur snowshoer has ono ad-
vantage-when he does take tumble,
which is usually after the third STEP he
falls harmlessly into the soft snow and
breaks no bones. He stays there, however,
until he is pulled out, for it takes an ex.
pert to get himself into standing position
after having once fallen.
You can imagine then, some Of the
things which the would be prospector now
glibly talks about as "hardships of the
trip to be expected, you know" but use

was named in honor of Professor T.. @.
Lindeman, veteran scientist, min
eralogist and explorer who is now liv.
ing, as he has lived many years past,
in Denver Professor Lindcman is G7
years old. Forty years ago he travelled
extensively in Alaska and British Co
lumbia, visiting many of the localities
which are now swarming with fortune
hunters and whose names have within
the last few months become familiar to
every newspaper reader in the country.
1t was in 1856 that he first saw the
Yukon. He was then a member of a
large exploring party, many of whose
members left their bones in those frozen,
desolate wastes. For / Z months he trav-
eled about the country, reaching a point
nearly /, 900 miles north Of the lower
Yukon navigation. Even at that early
day it was known that there was gold
in Alaska and i noted Russian scientist
had so reported to his government, but
it seems that his report was given but
little attention. Professor Lindeman
himself found many specimens and
picked mp nuggets of gold at the foot of
Katrin hill, fully 600 miles north of
the Klondike, a spot which it is doubt
ful if any other white man has ever Wis
tied since. subsequently he made other
trips about Alaska and knows the coun-
try thoroughly.
The professor advises prOspeCtors to
carry with them enough condensed food
to last for year, and he saws that il
is possible to prepare food in such way
that 30 pounds will be sufficient. He
always prepared his own provisions and
is willing to give any miner directions
so that it can be done at home. Profess
or Lindoman has also visited the gold
fields of South Africa and Australia.

LAWYERS TALK SHOP
WILL DISCUSS NEW LAWS AND LEGAL
PROCEDURE.

Preparing For the Annual Convention of
the American bar Association at Cleve-
land An Impressive and Important
Gathering-some Interesting Features.
The American Bar association holds
its annual convention this year in Cleve-
land. The sessions will begin on Aug.
20 and will be continued on the goth
and 27th.
This is one Of the few national con-
ventions whose deliberations are really
Of national importance. The association
81 1mbers among its members practically
every lawyer of note in the country,
and as most Of our lawmaking is done
by lawyers these conventions often exert
powerful influence in directing legis-
lation. Even congress listens with re-
spect to suggestions from the American
Bar association, and state legislatures
are generally ready to accept advice
from it, though not always. Not on Y
lawyers, but judges, including the JUS
tices Of the supreme court, are members
Of the association.
1t can readily be seen, then, what a
great gathering Of legal talent these
conventions summon. Often there are
distinguished guests from abroad, and
on several occasions the lord chief JUS
tice of England has been in attendance.
Lord Russell was the guest of honor
last year at the Saratoga convention,
and he addressed the association on the
subject of international law and arbi.

by declaring that the modern dance has
degenerated into graceless romp, is a
lady to whose opinions the fashionable
folk of London will pay no little atten-
tion, for her daughter is no less per-
sonage than the wife of the queen g
equerry, General Sir Henry Ewart. 1t
is doubtful, however, if the Americans
who attend the hops at Bar Harbor,
Newport and other fashionable water
ing places will value the opinions of
the mother-in-law Of the queens equer-
ry as highly as they should. And this is
sad indeed.
The countess protests that old fash
ioned courtesy has gone the way of the
minuet and the way the stately quadrille
is now going. Others have probably
made the same comment but they did
not make their criticisms from the want
age point of high social position such
as she occupies. 1t is somewhat remark
able, though, that even the Countess Of
AnCaster should cause such flutter.
No sooner had her words been cabled to
America than the society reporters Of
the metropolitan journals were sent
scurrying among the social leaders to
find out what they thought of her re-
marks Many Of them heartily agreed
with Countess Ancaster, while some
frankly declared that they didn't think
dancing should be taken seriously and
that "a bit of a romp" did no harm and
added to the fun. Admiral Upshur, U.
S. N, "a famous leader Of cotillons,
thinks that the modern figures can be
danced with as much courtesy and grace
as the old ones and that it depends alto
