CANADIAN ENTERPRISE

~ ANADIAN enterprise has undertaken to con- | struct to Dawson railway line which, accord
 ing to its promoters, is to be wholly on Cana dian territory. The proposal has a certain noble sound that has won admiration, but it will bear watching. It is possible the enterprise may be one of the kind that overleaps itself. Canada may have undertaken more than she can accomplish
 railroad starting from any Canadian point and running to Dawson through British Columbia would be extremely costly and the line would be so long that years would be required it. The only way to make short line capable of speedy construc- ton would be to start from some point on the sea coast opposite the Yukon Valley, but it more than doubtful if Canada possesses any point so situated as to be available for the purpose
 No less than five routes have been suggested and discussed in connection with the proposed enterprise Three of these are designed to make the starting place at some point the Lynn Canal fourth starts from Taku Inlet and the fifth which according to late reports has been almost decided upon is to make the point Of departure from the sea at Stickeen River. By either of these routes a comparatively short line would reach the headwaters of the Yukon Valley, and the construction could probably be com pleted proposed within year
 There is and all of these short routes. how ever, difficulty which the enterprsing Canadians have either overlooked or chosen to ignore The United States lays claim to all that portion of the Alaskan coast It is true the boundary of that part of Alaska has not been surveyed and determined by the two Governments and Canada may possibly have a water front at the Stickeen but the chances are the territory around the mouth of that river for at least twenty miles back belongs to the United States
 fl this claim be found correct when the official sur vey IS made, what will become of the "a Cana dian route?
 The American people admire enterprise They have noted with admiration the swiftness of the Can adians to seize everything within their reach on this coast from the soil of Alaska to the seals that swim in the sea. Admiration, however does not imply willingness to yield to the admirable object It not nrequenty excites emulation and desire to set LID as
 rival If the Canadians in their eagerness to get an all Canadian route to the Yukon should take posses sion of territory that belongs to us we may feel SO moved by admiration of the enterprise as to set forth and take our coast line back again and the whole Yukon Valley along with it.

THE HOMICIDAL SUICIDE.

C LEVELAND has chance to show whether a | man of morbid tendencies has right to kill
 himself when the operation involves the carry ing of of people whose incnations have not been consulted Just because oneindivdua happensto have chronic indigestion is logical excuse for his treat ing his nalady with remedy so comprehensive as to take in every in the vicinity. In illustration of this point may be cited the case of Cleveland man with wife and nine children. The man was not of a happy disposition. The world had palled. The prattling of infants did not soothe him. The other morning the entire tribe found unconscious from the effects of gas. Many of them will die The fel- low who turned the gas, however deserves to live until certain preliminares be attended to, and then he ought to hang on a gallows of extra height Certainly he could not object. He pines for death and death by hanging has many advantages over the same thing by gas. The State pays the expense and the estate IS cnched for the cost of the destroying fluid measured off by an active meter

l M ORNAMENTAL nerve may always be expected \ fromcorporations Having no souls these crea-
 tons ot the law are furnished with assur- ance which, measured by the ordinary arithmetical rules runs into figures too vast to be comprehended by the human mind.
 In the production of corporation nerve the glorious climate o California stands first in the world Our corporations have long worn the belt for the cool ness with which they put forward what used to be known on the sand lot as 'theving propositions, But no exhibition of corporation nerve ever pre- sented to the people of this city has exceeded in mag nltude the recent application of the Spring Valley Water Works to the Board of Supervisors for au-
 hory to increase water charges To understand this proposition 1t is not necessary to inquire as to the rate of interest paid by the corporation to it's stock holders, as to the water in its capital stock nor as to the character of its management which we be-
 eve, even by its enemies is admitted to be excel lent
 what the outside investigator would like to know IS the theory which President Howard argues that the people of San Francisco ought to provide money for new construction" II the people are to con- tnue to pay for putting in pipe lines and building reservoirs, IS it not about time that they should be allowed interest their investment? If the stock holders ot the Spring Valley Water Works cannot provide against the danger of dry seasons and re- Piciish lHoi water system as fast out, on what reasonable ground can they demand that the ratepayers shall allow them per cent on their al legged investment?
 Inc Gall does not sympathize with the constant en- deavors of the demagogues to create public prei,- dice against corporations As rule we think the purpose of most assaults what the politicians call the public utilities is blackmail and political plum der But 1t is just such things as this demand on the Supervisors by Spring Valley for an increase in water rates which gives the blackmailers their handles For years President Howard has been assuring the public that if it would only help him build the Crystal Springs reservoir he would put water famine forever behind him. Yet the first chance he oets he comes forward with alarming story about the tardy rain and plantive appeal for more money With which to make his water supply more secure
 Under no circumstances whatever should the S,, pervsors increase water If the stockholders of Spring Valley desire to improve their supply system they should provide the money themselves or author ize their board of directors to increase the capital of the corporation and sell shares to raise the amount The most they can ask the ratepayers to do is to liqudate operating expenses, pay interest on the company's debt and allow fair dividend on the actual capital invested Not dollar of the peoples money can be justly expended on "new construc- tion" or in rejuvenation of the plant

STILL CROPPING IN ERROR.

HE Chronicle in the annexation treaty as
 its chief merit that "it Is designed to open up a
 wide field of enterprise for white men now ur- occupied because of Asiatics"
 While the meaning of this is obscure, like the meaning of all utterances on that subject by the an neaton press take to be that at present Asiat ics, principally Japanese hold the aborfe in Hawaii against all conlers We should think that ardent an nexat1onsts would express regret that the Dole Gov ernment in the nearly five years 1t has been in power has not freed the islands from the Asiacs and proved that the plantations be worked by white labor As we have pointed out, Dole has been supreme None could defeat obstruct any policy he chose to follow. If white could have worked the panta- lions he should have proved it. What his acts have failed to establish cannot now be made sure l. a paragraph in the Chronicle. Doles mission to Wash ington has been accomplished. It was to make sure the right of the planters import Japanese coolies They are being landed in Honolulu now in shploads Of 500. Hundreds of thousands of acres of virgin sugar lands will be planted immediately upon annex ation, and the planters taking time by the fore lock in importing their coole labor
 We have asked the Chronicle to point out any place Tn the world where sugar cane is raised by free white labor at white wages, and it has not found such a place.
 We state it fact rrefutabie that the only sugar ever produced by white labor at white wages is beet sugar. Annexation means that American beet sugar IS to be sacrificed to the sugar and cooie labor of Hawaii
 No one has yet quoted anything from the annexa- ton treaty that dsproves ths because it is not there to quote. But Mr. Dole was not content with the negative permission of coolie labor in that Janus faced document and the object of his trip here was to make side bargain that leaves Hawaii permanently open to Japan.

A JOURNALISTIC TRIUMPH.
Santa Cruz Penny Press.

The Call Friday printed exclusively the news of the arrest of Frank Bel ew, near Elmira, at 10 o'clock Thurs day night. The Call has kept a re- porter in the neighborhood since the time of the murder and thus rendered assistance to Sheriff Rush of Solano County. The exclusiveness of the pub- lication was a journalistic triumph, and the capture of the murderer after the case had been dropped as mys- tery is a feat that demands recogni- ton of the persistence and faithful ness on the part of the officer. It is a sad admission that murder is so com mon in California, but 1t is satisfac- derers are caught through diligent eff fort of the officers aided by the news papers.

dDQ III real SdlnJ-llke 1aSnlOn nave been favored with the revelation
 that in future ages his name was to be linked with true lovers knots, courtship and marriage, he might possi- bly, have entered a mild protest for there was nothing particularly romantic in his own life and history. Saint Valentine was simply presbyter of the church, and was noted for his love and charity He suffered martyrdom under the Elm peror Claudius about the year 270. Such Is his brief history, and In searching the legends associated with his name there is no occurrence in his entire life that could possibly have given rise to the practices prevalent on Valentines day. Butler, however, in his Lives of the Saints," re- marks that there was superstitious cus- tom among the pagans for boys to draw the names of girls in honor of the hea- then goddess Februata Juno on the 14th day Of February, and that when the pagans became Christians the Ro- man clergy substituted in place of the girls names the names of saints for the billets drawn on this day. Be this as it may, the valentine has played a con spicuous part in love and courtship, and in the language of sweethearts the ex- presslon, Thou art my Valentine!' has ever meant the world over Thou art my love"' Indeed, nature herself, seems to have sanctioned this popular custom, for In olden times there was cherished a ru- ral tradition that on this day every bird chooses its mate, to which belief Shake speare in his Midsummer Nights Dream" happily alludes: Saint Valen- tine is past; begin these woodbirds but to couple now?'
 The valentine has ever boep theme for poet and author, and Goldsmith in his charming tale of ''The Vicar of Wake field" describes how the rustic swains ing.

 The art valentines this year are fanciful and dainty A charming one is in the form of a fan, each stick bearing stan ga of an old-fashioned love lyric. An other is kite, to the tail of which cling several fat. pink cupids. a cloud of these emischief-makersf floating across the white surface of the kite itself. The verse which accompanies this flight of fancy-no pun inrendsd-iS brief, but 10 the point:
 My loves kite,
