executive ability and controlling brains
is to be found in the condition of affairs
at the great Rogers locomotive works
at Paterson, n. j., the second largest in
the United States. The head of this
concern, Mr.. Rogers, being now an old
man and having accumulated fortune,
has been for some years DESTROYS of re-
firing from active life. With this in
view, he has for some time past been
endeavoring to find some one capable
of running the plant and taking his
place in the management Of affairs.
Not being able to find a suitable man.
ager, he has endeavored to sell out the
entire plant at price much less than
its valuation, but while capitalists
were willing enough to invest and even
to pay his price, they would do so only
on condition that he retained active
management of affairs. This Mr.. Rog-
ers is unwilling to do, and as last re-
sort he has decided to permanently
close down the entire works, thus
throwing 5000 hands out of employ
ment for want of a business head to
keep it going and to successfully man
age its affairs.

A recent study of the Industrial posi-
ton women now occupy in New York
State discloses some facts of interest
to women everywhere. The first thing
which attracts attention is the increase
in the number of women who support
themselves and the greatly increased
list of occupations open to them. Fifty
years ago there were only twenty call
ings in which women were engaged.
To-day they compete with men in al
most every known occupation. In the
middle of the century only one woman
worked for every ten men. The ratio
at present is one to four, and ten years
later it will probably be lower still.
Moreover, women are changing from
unskilled to skilled laborers, thereby in
creasing their own earnings, and add
ing to the wealth of the community.
Only thirty years ago two-thirds of all
the self-supporting women in New
York State were domestic servants;
that is to say, unskilled laborers. The
relative number has gradually de-
creased, until now the domestic" rep
resents only one-third of those who
work. In diversity of calling the men
have little advantage over their sisters.
Among New York women there are
more than five hundred hotelkeepers,
five hundred janitors, one thousand
journalists, one hundred and fifty
preachers, and one hundred each of
lawyers, dentists, inventors, designers
and physicians. Even occupations here
tofore regarded as exclusively mascu-
line have their representatives. There
are women blacksmiths, brickmakers,
butchers, glass-workers, gunsmiths,
tanners, machinists, marble-cutters.
sawmill hands, steam boiler-makers,
engineers and wood-workers. Feminine
ingenuity has also created new occu-
pations. One woman has established
what she calls "cattery," where she
breeds high-class Angoras. Another is
physician for parrots, mocking- birds
and canaries, and still another a dolls
boot-maker. Much of woman's indus
trial progress is attributed to the repeal
of the law under which a husband was
entitled to his wife's earnings. Let us
hope that the women, when they OBJ
tain full political power, will refrain
from passing any law under which a
wife will be entitled to all of her hus.
bands earnings.

RICH GOLD STRIKE.
Three Thousand Dollars Taken Fom FOu
Feet Square.

Victoria-The steamer Amur brings
news of new gold discoveries in the
north A big placer find, which was
attracting many stampeders, has been
struck about sixty miles east of Atlin
on Klahenan creek and tributary of
the Mackinaw river.
When Charles Mcdonald, who has
arrived with the news. left Atlin one
hundred claims had been located. Lee
Gordon, the discoverer, says he took
out $3.50 per day.
Stories of gold were also revived
from the Porcupine and Chilcat dis
tricts. Rev. j. w. Walther says that,
while he was awaiting the down
steamer at Haines, four men rushed
out and told him that from a space of
four square feet on Porcupine creek
dust worth $4,000 was taken out. He
did not learn the number of the claim,
but thinks the men told the truth. He
met a number of men from Bear creek
in the Chilkat district and all told of
rich finds and agreed that the creek
would prove wonderfully rich this
spring.
Dawson papers tell of rich finds at
the head of Copper river and say many
are awaiting at Dawson to go into that
country at their earliest opportunity.
A Dawson dispatch of January %
says that quartz running as high as
four hundred dollars to the ton in gold
has been struck in great quantities in
the Klondike.

Good Roads.

There is no improvement that can
be encouraged by the people, produc-
tive of such wide and general benefit
to all as the building Of good roads.
This topic is receiving careful consid-
Grafton by very prominent people. No
class of residents are more directly
affected by such improvement than
those who comprise the population of
rural districts. At the first convention
of the National Carriage and Harness
Dealers association, held in Chicago
recently, Howard H. Cross delivered an
address, taking for his theme the sub
ject referred to in this article. Good
roads, he said, would 'pread like
smallpox, if the individual efforts of
the people would properly plant the
seed in the different localities" There
is no country where such great posi-
bilities can be attained in this direc-
ton as in California, and a general
discussion and furtherance of the cause
should be taken up and pushed by the
press and supervisors of each county.

The New Coast Line.

The last piece of the new line of the
Southern Pacific to Ellwood is about
to be closed. The new survey inter-
cepts the old line at the city limits of
Santa Barbara, eliminating sharp
curve. A temporary switch has been
put in there so that work can be car
ried on from this end of the line. The
grade is practically complete. After
it's Connection with the present track,
four blocks north of Victoria station,
the new line will follow the old line
through town. There has been some
speculation as to whether there would
be any change in the company's course
between the freight depot and Victor
ia station. So far the officials have
not expressed an intention of erect
ing a depot at the Chapala-street sta
ton, where incoming trains now stop.
This is a central location and accom-
modates the incoming traffic. In the
opinion of persons who are in posi-
ton to know, the survey will not be
changed for the simple reason that it
cannot be done with any advantage
to the present grade. The company
evidently intends to provide more COM
modious passenger accommodations,
but has not made public the probable
location.

Florida Oranges.

Orange growers in California will
read with interest that there is an in

in orange growing in Florida. The
Florida Times Union is authority for
the report that there are now in that
state 3OO,784 bearing orange trees ana
1,799, 900 non-bearing. Also that the
Indian river country orchards are rap
idly recovering from the effects of the
great freeze. Several years of immu-
nifty from frost seem to have given new
heart to the orange grswers, and many
groves which for time were practi-
cally abandoned are being restored.
There has also been a great extension
of the business south into the frostless
portions of the state. where the soil
was formerly thought unsuitable.
