BUILDING Boom.

The year 1901 was one of the most
prosperous in the building trades, and
the effect OF this prosperity is shown
In the great increase in the building
brick production and In the statistics
of building operations In the large
cities. says Jefferson Middleton In
Mineral Resources of the United
States. 1901, now In press. United
States geological survey, or the fifty
FIVE largest cities of the country, forty
two cities reported that the number OF
building permits issued in 1901 was
s5,57l. as compared with 6S,ilT In
1890, a gain of 17,154. or 25.07 per cent.
The value ,.of the buildings erected on
these permits rose from s2il,516.5S5 in
1900. to 1912, l73,63l In 1901 gain OF
$40 1851 .046. or 54.09 per cent. The
average value Of the buildings. assum-
ing that one permit was issued for
each building, was ss,530 in 1900, and
Si.3ig in 1901. Although the city OF

RopEY,s RECEPTION.

Mr.. Rodey. delegate In congress
from New Mexico. may feel proud OF
the reception given him by the people
Of that territory, and particularly by
the people OF Albuquerque. In which
city he resides. says the Denver Re-
publican.
1t was enthusiastic and. what doubt
less made II all the more satisfactory,
IL was non-partisan.
II may he taken as conclusi,v evil
dcnce that the people of New Mexico
earnestly desire that congress give
them the right to erect state govern
ment. They gave Mr.. Rodey this cor
dial welcome home because of the ex-
cellent work done by him as their rep
rcsontative in behalf of statehood.
Members OF congress who have the
power to vote upon the admission OF
proposed state should give heed to
the sentiment of the people most deep
~ concerned In the question OF ad-
s,ission All debate should cease when
IL is shown that the proposed common
wealth Ia qualified for statehood, and
that the people desire admission.
No consideration should be given
to the selfish opposition of some re-
mote member of the Union where con-
dtions In the proposed state are not
understood and feeling of indiffer-
ence prevails concerning the right OF
the inhabitants Of the territory to gov
ern themselves. Altogether too much
att sEtion has at times been given to
the relations Of new state for the re-
mainder OF the Union. rs though It
were the chief matter Of concern Ex-
cept for the three votes that New Mex
leo would have in congress and In the
electoral college. the admission OF the
territory would have little or no effect
on the remainder Of the Unicn.
The chief consideration should al
ways be the right OF the people to gov
ern themselves. This is the corner
stone Of the American system OF gov
eminent and II is violated whenever a
territory capable of maintaining a
state government Is compelled to re-
main in a state of pupilage--a vassal
OF the federal government.

THE FOUR BONANZA KINGS.

James w. Mackay was the last of
the famous quartet OF argonauts who
reached greater fame and fortune on
the Pacific coast than any others of
the throngs OF gold seekers who rush
ed thither In the years following the
discovery OF gold. Mackay, an Irish
lad, was but II when he reached San
Francisco. He began working the plac-
ers. but he kept his eyes and ears
open. The saloon of Jim Flood and
Billy O'Brien was his headquarters
when In San Francisco, and he became
their adviser In "grub.staking" pros
pectors and buying claims. Mackay
was far superior mentally to these two
men. and furnished the brains. while
they put up the money. made OCT Of
the improvident hordes Of reckless
miners.
The three men bought number OF
valuable claims. but Mackay saw the
need OF = man who had an education

he became the fourth member Of the
combination. Their most phenomenal
strike was the Big Bonanza mine on

ELECTRIC l,onr FRANCHISE.

The new proprietors Of the electric
light plant Of this city offer to enlarge
their works and put In street railway
system. provided that the city will ex-
tend the franchise Of the company 4
certain number OF years and enter
into contract for street lights.
The officers Of the company for the
concession offer to reduce the price Of
street lights and to build an electric
street railway. The capacity OF the
plant will he increased and the service
greatly improved. The trouble hereto
fore with the electric light company
has heen that the works were too
small for the city. At least $50 900
will he spent in the improvement Of
the plant.
The proposition OF the new owners
of the electric light company should be
carefully considered by the city coun-
Gil. The city needs the contemplated
Improvement, and II the rights of the
city are carefully guarded and re-
duction secured for lights, the fran
chise extension should be granted by
the city council.

AMERICAN SUPERIORITY.

Where is there better campaign doc.
nmcnt for the summer and autumn OF
1909. the marvellous year In the history
of Americas material progress. than
the speech on Prosperity" which Sen
ator Gallinger delivered about week
before congress adjourned?
Therein are the figures, therein are
the statistics of production, consump-
ton and wealth which prompt MIR. Gal
linger to say:
Every man. woman and child in the
United States is equal to ten persons
outside of the United States. particu-
larly as consumers of our own and the
worlds products of agriculture mining
and manufacture. The farm laborers
of Europe do nine tunes the work and
get double the result of the farm la
borers In the United States. That is.
Il takes four aud onc-half Europeans
to equal one American. Extend the
comparison To Asia and Africa and we
end that the average United States
producer Is equal Ia ten the world
over outside of our country. This
comparison is emphasized by our coal
consumption and steam power, and,
finally. by orr products of manuiac-
ture. We ere today practically indie
pendent of the rest of the earth. In a
few years we shall raise our own sugar
and flcb-es, manufacture our own silk,
ana. in fact, we shall produce almost
everything used by mankind. The con-
clusion, then. is warranted that In an
other generation, II the present system
of protection Is continued, the people
of the United States will equal or sur
pass In production, consumption and
wealth the peoples of the rest Of the
world combined
