This creek is never dry. and a small outlay would put in Il gate which m few minutes would back the creek up sufficiently to give d good depth oi water. The experience last winter at the time of the Moose hall fire proved con- clusivcly that the creek is the only place in that neighborhood that water can be reached ;ft any time during the winter, and the city should take immediate steps to- ward having this gate and crib put in. The cost will be small and the value oi ii as an assistance in fight ing fire is incalruiabie.

Gen. Gr eley, the head of ,he signal service in Alaska, made d speech to the Juneau Chamber of Commerce. in which he said that at the present time territorial gov ernment would be one of the great est mistakes Alaska could make. He declared what was wanted most by the govcrnment,and intending in- vcStors are figures and data upon which to form conclusions. Valdez. through the chamber oi conlnerce, has made spasmodic attempts to circulate accurate data and inform- alton regarding this section. but so far nothing on that line has ever been accomplished. The matter should be taken up in sensible manner and rushed through. There is no reason in trying to impress minds of few in the states. bv distributing a little information, between fancy covers, and embcl- lished by artistic designs, when a plain. accurate statement of facts, distributed iii sufficient quantities to al'r;c G universal attention, would cost less and be of much more value to the district. By the way, has the idea of a book to he distributed at St. Louis been abandoned, or will the matter lie in the hands of committee until it is too late?

The LOVE OF LATER YEARS.

What of the strong mans stubborn pas
sion,
When Love comes singing sweet and lOwi
What of the long-established fashion
When Love comes pleading: Let 1t go?~
From &abits that ensiaved before
lie turns as one newborn, to sigh,
lie dreams of wildwood haunts no more,
His gun and rod uncherished lie.
Ghe thuRders of applause that shook
The halls of state for him are all
Forgotten when she turns to look
And when he hears her softly call:
The wisdom that he had he lays
Aside, forgetting to be wise,
He Graves no honor but her praise,
His universe Is in her eyes.
What of the strong mans solid reason
When Love comes signing: ''Stray with
me?''
To noble heights or down to treason
He follows on submissively.
From that which armies might have tried
In vain to move him he recedes,
And at a penSive woman'S side
The strong man signs and humbly pleads.
The dreams that young love dreams are
The stghs that young love signs ara
sweet.
Glad angels hover. watching. where
The lips of coy young lovers meet
The skies above young love are blue
The laughter of young love is gays
To young love all the world is new
And all its troubles far away.
But send to me the sweeter later
Love, blossoming where SORROWS lie,
The deeper love the broader, greater,
That comes to flower but not to die.
For him, when youths wild dreams are
spent &f4'
And Time has withered many a hope
Gods gifts are best if Love is sent
To lead him down the western slope.

HE TALKED TOO MUCH.
Loquaeious PeddIer Comes to- Grief at

Persistently the broom peddler was
offering his wares to everyone he met
and was trudging up the avenue, when
he saw large man standing on the
curb The latter had pugilistic chin
and was deeply engrossed in an open
newspaper, relates the New York Her
aid.
''Do you want a broom, siF?" queS-
toned the peddler, fourishing the broom
to demonstrate it's durable qualities.
"Nope!'' snapped the large man, with
out looking up.
ooh, see! You are bachelor. Well,
you are lucky. Do you see that little
house over there with brown steps,
The large man glanced UP for the first
time.
YES; what of it,"
''Well, have an order for broom
over there"
"You have, eh?'

She said she wanted one TO suit her hIs-
band, and from the way she said it I

MANnA,s ExoRB1TANT RENTS.
Even . SMALL Cottage Is Beyond the
Means of the Average
Wage-Earner.

Rent rates in Manila continue to
soar skyward Even small cottage is
now beyond the reach of the average
American wage-earner in the city.
When one thinks of the rare opportun-
titles of the Manila lessor his moderation
becomes a matter of wonderment, says
the Manila Times He asketh all things,
expecteth all things and he getteth all
things His gall is UNNECESSARILY,
iboundlessly great; it is beyond all
whOoping After the first year of Amer
dean occupation the lessor promptly
doubled the rents, and he has religious
ily adhered to this system of geometrical
progression ever since. For example,
a house that rented In 1899 for 10 pesos
per month was worth In 1900 20 pesos;
1901 brought the value up to 40 pesos;
the following year so was the limit; the
present time finds the landlord demand
ing 160. This progression will continue
as long as we stand it, as there seems
to be no limit to landlords grasping
demands other than the victims salary.
Illustrations of the truth of these
statements regarding the unreasonable

ON all sides. For instance, certain
house on Gale San Marcelino, renting
Bor 500 gold per month, cost not more
ahan $4,000 gold; $4,000 would be an
exorbitant estimate for house and lot
This gives the owner an annual interest
of 38 per cent on his investment. It is
safe to affirm that after the owner has
received his original capital in rent the
value of the house will not be depreciat-
ed two per cent by reason of it's having
been occupied. We do not know what
relation the assessed valuation of such
property bears to the amount of rent
charged, but the probability is that If
the estimate were made on the basis of
rent rates the prayers to the board of
equalization would deluge that body by
the time of it's first session.

she plunked herself down at the foot O.

1t more than dozen times.
Hammer knowed that Ellis Sam d be

black hats and vivid blue feathers

mixed turquoise blue and emerald
green.
Some of the new hats in chip are
turned up abruptly at the sides to-
ward the back, where they are sim
ply trimmed with a bow of black vel
vet and perhaps an ostrich feather.
A new fabric which will be appropos
nate in the season is shantung. This
is very desirable in natural color shot

Many of the elaborate waists,

S~exrchlight Miners Union. No 164.
Western Federation Of Miners officially
declared q strike against the Qoariette
Mining Company last Monday night
which went into effect the next morning
The immediate and direct cause OF the
strike was the posting Of . notice By the
Company to the effect that on and after
June / nine hours labor would be requir-
ed Of all employees not effected BY the
State Eigh, Hour Law.
A Union Committee waited upon
Superintendent Harrington and discussed
the situation. Later the committee called
and ssked what action the company
would take in case its men we're called
out. Nj. Hsrrington's reply was that in
accordance with his orders be would
close down the property.
With both the Union and the Company
the strike is a matter OF principle. Bot
three men were effected by the order for
Q nine-hour day. In the recent National
Convention OF the Western Federation Of
Miners an eight-hour day vas q Of the
most important matters considered. The
action OF the local Union is in pursuance
VI this policy. On the other hand the
Company contends that it is acting
strictly in accordance with the law that
the eight-hour day effects only those en-
ployed in underground mines or workings
and has nothing to do with those work
ing on the surface.
The Duplex and the Good Hope closed
down Tuesday afternoon and the Duplex
mill Wednesday noon. Both these Com
panies claim that they were simply an
ticipsting an action on the part Of the
Union. They had given notice that they
would work surface men nine hours and
consequently expected to fall under the
ban. Neither Of these mines had been
working any Of their employees longer
than eight hours. Both, however, we're
about to commence work that would re-
quire q number of surface men,.
The Cyrus Noble will also close down
Just as soon as a small contract, Low
under way, is completed.
The Rambler mine has given notice
that there would be no lockout 30 long as
the issue concerned the matter of hours
only.
A. NJ. Jennings Of Buffalo, New York,
President OF the Southern Nevada Com
pany and General Manager Perew are
expected to arrive tonight.
Wednesday the Union Committee again
conferred with Superintendent Hsrring-
ton and another point Of issue came up
for discussion, namely the question Of
wages. At the conference the Union
presented a scale for consideration.
Superintendent Harrington in turn sug-
gested that a general conference OF the
Union and the mine owners be held and
that the matter be arbitrated. To this
the Union agreed. So unless the mex
pected happens q general meeting will be
held as o o as possible.

This premature development Of the child

parents both have excellent teeth. which
may partly account for the phenomenon.
