Concerning their intellectual capaci-
ties the commission says: "As To the
general intellectual capacities of the
Filipinos, the commission IL disposed
to rate them high. But, excepting in
a limited number of persons, these
capacities have not been developed
by education or experience. The
masses of the people are uneducated.
That intelligent public opinion on
which popular government rests does
not exist in the Philippines. And II
cannot exist until education has ele-
waited the masses, broadened theirin-
tellectual horizon and disciplined their
faculty OF Judgment. And even then
the power OF self-government cannot
be assumed without considerable
previous training and experience un-
der the guidance and tutelage OF an
enlightened and liberalforeignp power.

Mayor Barnes reported that several
people had addressed themselves to
him seeking n modification OF TIL
COW ordinance, the object being TO
grant licenses for milch cows SO that
they might be permitted to run at
large without falling into the hands
OF the pound master, l.. W. Polly. 1t
IL very evident that the council has
n farmers in its membership, for one
after another they took u whirl at
the cows and not a member would
favor a change in the ordinance. In
order to be strictly in line Mayor
Barnes remarked that he should see
the pound master and instruct him
TO look a little more closely after his
duties In the future.
An hour or more was devoted to
the matter OF sidewalks and u mum.

also instructed to cull again upon

He Is Suspected of Having Stolen an
Overcoat.
John Pickerel who with his wife and
another woman, was arrested on Nov.
% on a charge of having stolen some
jewelry from the residence of Kathleen
Norton on the west side, and who. after
he had been released, owing to there be-
ing no case against him, threatened to
make the authorities smart for his ar
rest. was taken into custody again last
evening.
1t appears that about the time Pickerel
was released the chief of police got a let
ter from the penitentiary warden stating
that he was an ex-convict This con-
firmed the officers in their suspicion of
Pickere and they decided to keep tab on
him.
Last evening q stranger in the city
complained to the police that he had
had an oNerccat stolen from the |. y, J..
lodging house in the lower part of town.
On investigation Captain Leyden learned
that the stranger came to the city few
days ago and took a room at the lodging
house. He gave the landady his grip
and overcoat to take care of for him and
yesterday when he asked her for his
property, intending to continue his jour
ney to the coast. the overcoat was found
to be missing. The landlady then re
membered that when the gentleman came
to tho house Pickerel walked up town
behind them and the stranger was shown
to his room. She also remembered that
he had left the house Saturday night car
rying an overcoat. ...
AS the officers had learned since Pick
erefs former arrest of his having pawn
cd two gold watches, and watch was
among the articles stolen from the Nor
ton house, Captain Leyden decided to ar
rest Pickerel and hold him pending an
investigation to-day Captain Leyden be-
lieves one of the watches Pickerel pawn
ed will be found to be the watch stolen
from Mrs. Norton, as it was also learned
that Pickerel pawned something yester-
day, 1t Is thought this will be found to
be thu overcoat. A charge of vagrancy
was preferred in order to hold the pris-
oner until his case can be thoroughly

KLONDlKE PROSPEROUS.
Improved Transportation Has Reduced
Cost of Living

C. c. Eberly, formerly a well-known
resident of Butte but who has been in
the Kiondike country for the last two
years. returned to Butte yesterday. Mr.
Eberly states that the Klondike region
is better than it has ever been This, he
says, is due to several things. The coun-
try, he says, has been demonstrated to
be as rich as it was ever expected to be-
the rush to Cape Nome has drawn away
all the surplus population and the i'm
proved transportation facilities have re-
duced the cost of living to reasonable fig
ures, and because of all these conditions
the country is in a most prosperous con-
diton. Mr. Eberly left Dawson City two
months ago. Before leaving he saw all
the Butte people there and says they
are all prosperous and happy.
