A Miners Adventure.

In a Prison Of granite In a canon OK
one OF the mountain streams OF the
Copper river country, Alaska, miner
spent two terrible days and nights on
a narrow ledge Of rock. At his feet
rushed the mad torrent OF Low river.
and above him lowered the granite
walls two thousand feet high, with
only a narrow opening at the top,
through which the sun cast an Occa-
sional ray Of hope to the hungry, freez-
ing man below He had hired out as
guide to six soldiers, and they en-
tered the canon On a raft. The raft
went over a waterfall and broke in two.
The six soldiers clung to a fragment
and were washed away, but the miner
was dashed ashore. He managed to
reach a small ledge Of rocks. and there
he remained hoping for relief, but. as
none came, he was obliged to scale the
walls He made a rude ladder with
bushes. and in some way he managed
to climb to the top Of the canon, anu
then he had to walk thirty miles 10
the nearest town. Then he found that
the soldiers had been able to get OUT
Of the canon, but no help had been SEM
to him because he was supposed to Dc
dead.

A WORD TO TIE WISE.

We understand that certain parties,
whose names and affiliations we need
not mention, are making a quiet can
yass throughout the county in the in
terests Of municipal reform They want
the county governed by new men and
on wiser plan We have no objection
to change tor the better, and we do
not think any citizen of the county has.
We admit that possibly the county
might be better ruled. This, however,
is not the time TO make a change unless
ne are absolutely sure that the change
will be for the better. We want no ex-
peTimeItiDg, no greenhorn county
board at this stage in county affairs.
What guarantee 90 the persons referred
10 give that if they succeed in turning
out the CID board the county Will be
Any better governed, or that it will be
even rs we'll governed. They do not
give any guarantee, because they can
not All they DO is abuse the members
Of the county board-ca!l them rascals,
and other names, and thus strive TO
prejudice the people against them. Tue
people, however, owe it to themselves
to look at tits matter in a plain, com
mon sense way. Our experience of
g reforms" is that they simply mean
going from bad to worse; that the So
called reformers have invariably been
failures. As We have said. this is no
time for experimenting The men who
are Oh the county board may be called
rascals, but they understand county af-
fairs. and, for our part, We prefer the
rasca!s we know to the rascals We don't
know.

A MODERN CAVALRY CHARGE.
What It Does for the Side Which Is
Victorious.

What It Does for the Side Which Is
Victorious.
AS the opposing forces approach
the gallop is given, and closer and
closer they come, says Pall-Mall Mag
azine. The old brigadier is in front,
motioning back his men with his sa-
Der, SO as to keep them steady and
together. Suddenly and simulta-
neously, on both sides. the charge Is
sounded. The two cavalries approach
each other like thunderbolts, each man
pressed on by those in the rear. the
second line is trying to force its way
into the first, and then-they meet.
The bursting OF the two waves rem
ders one mighty crash to heaven. The
dust thickens and under this heavy
pail Of death all knowledge Of events
is lost. The cloud sways backward
and forward for full five minutes,
when an officer in command OF our
reserves spies an opening; then in be
goes and the enemy is literally hurled
back. Inc victorS stagger forward,
Keeling Ike a drunken man. With
marvellous rapidity the enemy have re-
covered; our officers are literally beat
ing their men into some sort Of forma-
lion, shouting, absolutely shriekinS
with excitement the while. The troop
ers rise in their stirrups and swear
well, like troopers. Then at them
again; this time they make no mistake,
but drive the enemy entirely from the
field. The result, they have opened out
way to examine the enemy; a dozen
miles farther and they will see the in
fantry Of his advance guard and know
to a slight extent what he is doing. 1t
is as though they had torn veil off
wOmans face or unmasked villain.
Hello! l thought l heard some one
say cavalry were of no use nowadays,
well, perhaps l was mistaken. In half
4 day, or less, our general-in-chief Will
know all about the enemy that we can
find out. That is to say, that he will
be fully conversant with the enemy
movements at least twentyfour hours
before he knows anything worth know
ing about US.

BOUNDARY LINE SETTLED.
The Old Dispute Between New Yorl
and MassaChusetts.

The Old Dispute Between New York
and Mas.achusetts.
The field work for resuryeying the
boundary line between the state o.
New York and Massachusetts, has now
been completed. all but putting up
something over 100 posts to mark the
boundary at highway crossings and on
the peaks OF the highest hills, says the
boston Transcript. The lire runs in
a north and-south direction from Con-
necticut TO Vermont That a resur-
Veying was necessary was shown by
the fact that in some places the bounds
were as nuch as fourteen feet out Of
the way, and in others had disappeared
altogether. 1t will be remembered
that this boundary line was for a long
time source Of as much irritation to
the people Of New York and Massaohu-
sets as similar questions have s. zee
become between this country and Can
ada. The present marks were practi
cally fixed IN 1913; still there was not
entire satisfaction. and not before
territorial suit lad been entered before
the congress o. the confederation in
Us. was the matter definitely settled.
Since the survey incident TO those ne
gotiations there has rot been one un-
til the present. The New York party
cut the path and the Massachusetts
men did the chain work. Some sec
tons were so Wild ard so remote from
habitations that tire surveying party
had TO camp as in the days when
George Washington was a Seryeyor.
