THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

President McKinleys message is businessike doc1-
ment in which foreign affairs handled in nlaster1v
No fail to admire the high craftsmanship
displayed all through the Chinese and other crises
The message in its discussion of financial affairs of great
importance strong and all that could be desired The
Nicaragua canal matter might have been couched rather
emphatic terms but the reeraon of the necessity
raying the HayPauncefoe treaty shows plainly enough
that the President is in line with the enterprise
build the canal without being guilty of gross bad fath until
said treaty is ratified
The President strongly recommends the laying of the
Pacific cable and this recommendation will doubtless have
the desired effect Congress.
AS whole, the message justly takes rank with the
ablest documents of the kind on record.
1t is understood that later President Mckinley will
special message, make strong plea for the Immediate
struction of the Nicaragua canal.

Paulley In Alaska.

S. M. Paulley. who was an employe
of Tom Chichizola for three years, one
year of which period he was foreman
at the sawmill, left Amador county in
1898 for the gold fields of Alaska.
When he left for the north he was
afflicted with rheumatism, but after
experiencing a winter in Alaska where
at times the thermometer marked 76
and 50 degrees below zero, the rheu-
matism left him entirely and he has
not felt twinge of it since.
Mr.. Paulley returned here about two
weeks ago, hale and hearty and brim
full of faith in Alaska where he will re-
turn next April, to continue work on
valuable claims which he owns in con-
junction with Charles H. Rogers, a
brother of Lieutenant Rogers, who is
in command of the military post at
Circle City. His claims are on Harri-
son Creek, about 20 miles from Circle
City, and he says most claims there
are good for fro N Sl2 to SIG day per
man. One of his claims yielded 267
ounces in II days. All work is done
by sluicing, and Mr.. Paulley will take
back with him small hydraulic ontfit
to be used in the work He says that
one of the best things that ever hap
pened to him was his pilgrimage to the
Ell Dorado of the north.
During his first year there he worked
for the government and took the CEN
sus along the Yukon river. This gave
him an excellent opportunity to get
posted relative to the ins and outs of
the country and resulted in his acq uir-
ing valuable holdings.
In Circle City he met DIR. and Mrs.
Hatch, formerly of Jackson, and the
acquaintance has continued ever since.
He says that DR.. Hatch is the contract
physician, under government, at
Rampant, Alaska, and that he is half
owner with ex-Gov. McGraw of the
State of Washington, of very valuable
mining claims.

COUNTY POLITICS.

Andrew Jackson of Americas most headstrong

doctrine that "To the victor belongs the spols"

to this me-honored doctrine up the 9th of November
1900, suddenly the this docrne

ceeded arrange the incoming Republican Board
of Supervisors But the best laid schemes and men
gang aft aglee'
1t is reported good authority that repeated efforts
made by the Democratic powers behind the throne

Supervisors to consent to xup" of the appontve posi-
ons by the outgoing Board tie the hands of the
Board far these Offices concerned In other words
usurp the just prergave of the Board and dispense
the patronage that of right belonged it. The trap was
cleverly laid and the plans skully carried until the
final throw when their dsmay and political undo

any such intrigue The heretofore ghhanded rule or ruin
ring found itself up against the real thing such hunil

Be that it may, the Hospital Steward County

what Depends Upon the seed.

The estimate placed upon the quality
of garden, farm and field seeds, says
Farmers Voice. cannot be too high, for
upon the terminating strength and vigor
of the seed will depend, to large degree,
the success of the crop. The grower needs
carefully to consider this when ordering
seeds. He wants fresh seeds Stale pack
ages may be all right, but it is best to
be on The safe side. Good seeds command
good prices and no one should complain
of any price that is consistent with the
quality.
Germ growers say good seed is half the
crop, Gardeners say their chief concern
is to plant good seeds. Florists tell us
tHat success in their line depends largely
upon the quality of seeds sown and
plants set. All growers of vegetables, ce-
reals and grasses unite in the expression
that the selection ana planting of good
seed determines the profit of their bust
ress. With every enlightened farmer.
lacked by every experiment station and
scientific agrlculturists, hortlculturists.
gardeners and producers of crops, advo-
eating good seed as the basis of a sue
cessful crop 1t seems inexcusable that
anyone hould plant inferior seeds.
The same paper further says that the
very foundation of agricultural success
lies In good seed and good nursery stock.
for nothing will more surely work failure
than poor seed or poor nursery stock. The
law Of heredity works powerfully in plant
life, as does the law of selection and i'm
provement. and nowhere else have these
two laws been more closely studied and
assiduously employed than in the nurser-
les and seed gardens OF the United
States
