INCREASING THE WAGES.

The proposed law requiring that one
half the labor to be done under Gov
eminent contracts shall be awarded
to Hawaiians and Europeans, that is
the Portuguese, will considerably in
crease the cost of work, we are inform
ed, and therefore increase the rate of
taxation.
1t is the Portuguese mainly and not
the natives, who desire employment,
for the natives do not eagerly ask for
il.
The condition of many of the Portu-
guese is unfortunate. They have come
into the town, instead of remaining in
the country They find that the Asia
tics fix the price of labor, and
with their large families find it almost
impossible to live on plantation wages.
Worse than all. from this aspect of the
case, we steadily continue to educate
their children to the strong desire for
better things, and at the same time,
entirely neglect educating them in the
way of getting these better things and
we push them against the Asiatics.
This bad state of things seems to
make it necessary to do some danger
GUS legislation in the way of discrimi-
mating in their favor.
Tt may be expedient to pay the Por-
tuguese Iaborers higher wages in the
Government service, simply because
they must be taken care of, but the
better and reasonable way would be tC
provide a method of helping many OF
these Iaborers to emigrate to the other
Islands, and aid them in getting homes
of their own. 1t does the community
great harm, so long as industrious
Portuguese are compelled to pay enor'
nous rents on Punchbowl. for land
they cannot purchase. It creates JUS
tifiable discomfort, and forces them tC
demand the highest wages. If these
people were Thoroughly organized poll
tically, they would make themselves
felt. 1t is the duty OF the dominant
party to see to it, they do not become
disconnected through injustice.
The theory Of taxing the people il
order to pay extra wages, is not a good
one, but it is necessary, if there is nc
other way to provide employment fol
the idle who desire work but canno'
get it,

There is considerab BILE interest being
taken again regarding the building
Of an artificial lake on Imboden Hill,
Of which much has been said in these
columns in the past, and if some one
would properly take the matter up it
would be very little trouble to get
the necessary funds to build it.
On Imboden Hill there is a large
basin covering many acres and all the
work to be done is to fill up a few
sink holes in the center and turn the
water in from the water works and
we will have one OF the finest lakes
in the State. What fine fishing and
boating it would make. Won't some
one take the matter up and see if it
can't be made a reality.

In the court house at our county

a building that would do credit t.
New York or Boston. It's conve.
nience and the thorough safety of the
records by reason of its fre-prooi
construction, should be a matter Of
congratulation to every citizen. But
the means of getting there are a dis
grace to any community. The wagon
road from Norton to Wise over which
go the people who do the greatest
amount of business in the courts,
and over which is done the hauling
for much of Southwest Virginia and
Eastern Kentucky. is the worst not
alone in Wise county. in Virginia, or
in the United States, but absolutely
the WORST IN THE WHOLE WORLD, as
can be proven by any one who has
recently gone over it. The court

since the people of the county in the
goodness of their hearts suffered it to
go to Wise, such pnblic spirited
citizens of that town as Judge Miller,
Judge Fulton, and Messrs. Flanary,
Dotson, Wears. Bruce, Bond. Lipps,
and others, owe it as a duty to their
consciences to finish the railroad from
Ramsey to Wise, to change that
road bed into a turnpike, or to build
a regular graded and smooth road
from Norton to Wise. In these DAYS
the state of civilization of any com
munity is justly estimated BY the
OF its highways. In this

RETURNED FROM
KL0NDIKE.
Mr.. J. L. Jennings Says the
Northwest Cold Stories Have
Been Greatly Exaggerated.

Mr.. }. l.. Jennings, who left thi
place. in company with JOSEPH I
Lowell and Joseph O'Rorick. on III
10Th day Of last January for tn
hlondike gold fields, returned Tues
day morning, much wiser, if no
richer, man for his long Journey
They went from here to Seattle
Wash, where they purchased outfits
and from there went to Dawson Cit,
by way of the White Pass, arriving
at Dawson about the first of June
They took with them several thous-
and pounds Of provisions, which thew
disposed Of to advantage before leav.
ing there.
MIR. Jennings says the stories con-
corning gold taken from that section
have been greatly exaggerated, and
one hundredth part claimed has been
been found. He says there are some
80 or 40 rich claims around Dawson.
and probable two or three hundred
that are fairly good, but the remain
der are not worth working. lie says
the Canadian laws are very hard on
claim holders. When a man stakes
out a claim the government reserves
one half of it, and from what he takes
from his portion Of his claim. one
tenth goes to the government. In
addition to this he is required to
take ont miners license, which |
costs $40 per year, and has to pay |
Sl9 each year to have his claim re-
corded, and still in addition to this
he must take out loggers' license
70 the tune oi Sl5, and various other
Kings, which taxes the claim holder
10 heavily that when he gets claim
VI some account lie can't make any
hing out of it. And in addition to
III the above the government requires
i'm to pay a large tariff on all goods
AIKEN in.
Mr.. Jennings says there arc about
1000 people in the Klondike coun-
ry, that Dawson City has a popula-
ion of about 10000. He says there !
plenty of food there now, and was
II during last winter, and none Of

nat section were true. it costs
bout seven dollars day at the res =,
lurants IN Dawson City, but food is .
cheap and where one does >

'uld be made there they left for St y

Regarding School Books.

Owing to the fact that there seems
to be considerable misunderstanding
as to the text books to be used in our
public schools We volunteer the fol-
lowing explanation; The State
Board of Education has adopted an
entirely new list Of textbooks, bnt
certain books on the old list are al
lowed to be used for a term of two
years, provided, however, that the
new books shall be introduced in the
formation Of all new classes and the
old books shall be tolerated only
when a commencement has previously
been made in such books by the
majority Of the pupils in class"
In other words, none Of the books on
the old list will be sold by book
dealers, but in our scJool to save ex-
pense TO the patrons, the old books
will be used whenever enough can be
procured in the school TO supply a
grade and the Pew books will only be
used when compelled to do so by the
rules and regulations adopted by the
Board.
The regulations governing the use
of text books are very strict Section
III says:
"No teacher shall receive any
pupil WHO is not supplied with proper
text books"
Section | says: The text books
nsed in the public free schools of
Virginia shall be those adopted by
he State Board of Eluction and all
books heretofore authorized for use
