Says the Philadelphia Call: These
evidences of wealth, particularly the
irresistible fascination of gold, have
started tide of emigration to Alaska
that will cover her barren wastes with
the evidences of civilization. Cities and
towns will spring up. Railroads and
other means of transportation must
follow, and Alaska will not be long in
seeking admission to the Union.

The old clock on the Boston and Maine
station at Haymarkct square is thing
of the past. After serving the public
with the utmost fidelity for half a CEN
tury it has stopped at last, never to so
again, at least not on its old perch The
destroying hand of the transit commits
sion has torn it down. hands, weights,
dial end ALL from it's faStonings in the
loft of the old station. and it now lies all
in a heap, silent and dismombCred, in
the storage room on the ground floor of
the old building. The last register of
the big dial was on Saturday, July 81,
at 2:20, the very moment that its ma
chinery was disturbed by the workmen
engaged in tearing down the old sta
tion. The history of the clock dates back
to 1S47, when, under contract from
the Boston and Maine Railroad COM
pany, Howard q Davis built and set
up the big ttmepeCe at a cost of $1,000
It's dial was five feet in diameter, and
the figures thereon were nine inches
long. Ever since the old clock has kept
perfect time, even since the depot itself
was turned over by the Boston and
Maine to the transit commission. The
regulation of the clock was left to Off
Ger Berg of station I. That was nearly
four years ago.

We are reliably informed that our
friend. Uncle Dick Cant, has recently
acquired considerable fame as profess
sor in agriculture. If our informant is
correct Prof. Cant has charge of a class
of some three or four students already,
with prospects for as many more. We
were aware of the fact that young Mr.
Sherman. of Wichita, came here sew
eral weeks ago to learn the agricultural
industry under the direction of SIR.
Cant, but until we were otherwise in
formed we did not know that others
had taken advantage of the opportunity
to acquire knowledge in this ayocation.
But We want TO say right here that the
young gentlemen who are DESTROYS of
obtaining solid information on farming
and stock raising could not End better
man to give them pointers than Mr.
Cant. Hereafter Uncle Dick Will be
respected By us as Prof. Cant. He has
earned the title and whoever attempts
to rob him of it vii! be subject TO a

The Anthony Bulletin submits the
following pertinent remarks relative to
the comparatively few male grad yates
in our common schools. The Bulletin
desires to see more young men graduate
in Anthony, and we might say the same
with regard to Medicin Lodge:
What has become of the boys as ad-
juncts OF obstacles to commencement
exercises? In looking over neighboring
exchanges we find that the entire class
in Medicine Lodge were young ladies;
in Kiowa out of class of six there was
one lonesome boy while our class of five
graduated but one member of the male
sex. Are the boys less studious. less
ambitious or deficient in talent, or IS it
fact that the boy does not hare a fair
chance to complete the course of the
public school. We know that very of.
ten the boys are taken out of school to
help make a living for the family, In
other instances they sh.rk the RESPONSE.
bilities of school work and leave OF
their own will, but it looks hardly right
that they should entirely surrender the
field to the young ladies. The Bulletin
would very much like to see future An
thony classes have some boy gradu
ates.

There has been from time to time
good deal said and written about the
question of letting the county printing,
and for good many years it has been
the custom for the party that was left
in the lurch at the election of county
commissioners to offer to do the county
printing for much less figure than
that provided by law for such work.
Now we take it that when the law was
passed fixing the price beyond which
the printer could not go, it was thought
that reasonable fee was allowed for
the work, and on this same line of rea-
soning we are of the opinion that when
the legislature adjusted the fees and
salaries Of all the county and state Of
ficers it was done with the idea that
they were deemed to be reasonable fees
for the amount of WORK performed.
Now if our ideas are right regarding
what the legislature intended when it
fixed the price, would it not be just
about as reasonable to ask the county
commissioners to let the offices of sher

lowest bidder as it is to ask them to let
the county printing TO the lowest bid
der? Is there any reason to be given
why the printer should have to work
for starvation prices for the county
while the other officers and servants of
the county are carefully and conscieE-
tiously drawing the amount fixed by
law that they should have for their
seryices2 We are in favor of paying the
printer, or any other county servant,
just what the law says he is entitled to
have, and if we should happen to be on
the losing side OF the deal we are not in
favor of running some other printer in
order to have the satisfaction of seeing
him run out Of business, and at the
same time be of no real benefit to our
selves. If it is right to cut the printers
wages then let US make it general and
reduce all county salaries proportion
ally alike, and not forever be harping
on the county printing and paying
others all the law stipllates. 1t the
price is too high, let the next legisla-
ture change it and make it right, but
until this is Gone, let US pay what is
due and quit fighting over what does US
no good and is of precious little benefit
to the public. -Hazelton Express.
