The Bellows Falls Times calls atten-
ton to the custom that has come into
vogue in its own town-and which is
not confined to Bellows Falls alone-of
making the charge against persons ar
rested while drunk breach of the
peace instead of intoxication. There
are several reasons why this is done.
The receipts from fines are more en-
couraging to "home industry" when
breach of the peace is the charge than
when intoxication is alleged. Another
and more potent reason is that the
drunk does not get a record unless
convicted OF intoxieation. When this
is done,he gets within haiIing distance

Low rates were not primarily re-

It is the rule that whenever a man
makes himself active in any cause,
however wise and good. he meets with
opposition, censure and opprobium
from certain quarters. Booker i.
Washington is 10 some extent vic
tim of this peculiar form OF malevo-
lence at the hands of men of his own
race. These persons scout his ideas
of negro industrial education on the
ground that they involve an admission
that the colored race is inferior to the
whiTe and requires a more rudimen-
tary training. This is the fact, Of
course. and the greatness of Mr..
Washington is shown by his ready
acceptance of it and his plans to meet
it. His negro critics will rail at him
in vain because he does not deal with
theoretical, instead Impractical, affairs.
The abolitionist conception of the
negro has given way to a better under
standing in recent years. Until the
negro has proven himself to be the
equal of the white. mentally and
morally, he cannot expect to be
treated as such. Washington's en-
deavor is to build him up to this on
broad lines. He is right, while those
who assume that the negro is there
already and demand that he be treated
as such are mistaken.

GREAT POSSIBILITIES FOR
THE IRON INDUSTRY HERE
CONTINUED from page ID

most assures us of the quantity, we
titly by depth and this is our purpose
now. We have thirty claims and It is
not a question of small lodges, but the
outcropping appears to be an immense
up heaval which shows up for dis
lance of over mile and is practically
covered by our claims. BY this l do
not mean to say that we have 1t all but
there seems to be an immense dyke ex-
tending north and south. and while our
property is located on the north side of
the North Fork of the Clearwater river,
the dyke extends to the south side of
the river and there is mo doubt suffi-
cient room for many more locations.
In all my experience in mining mat
ters, / have never been interested in
anything that showed up so promis-
ing or so immense.
The iron, industry in the west is
practically unknown, for the reason
that little is known of that class of
ore in this country but beyond ques-
ton, should it be proved that good
iron can be found here, the day will
come when the steel companies will
flock to the coast and erect steel works.
THE steel trust have long been look
ing for a chance to operate on the
Pacific coast and what few indications
of iron mines that they have found they
have been persistent in developing"
During the conversation with Mr..
Thompson it developed that an offer
of $125,000 had been made for the
property and had been refused
Mr.. Thompson states that about 500
feet of work has been done thus far
on the property, and that he and his
associates will continue to develop the
property ntil ii is brought to a stage,
where there will be no question as to
the quantity, and as Mr.. Thompson
says The quality we have, but we
must prove the quantity"
This is the property which the o. r.
& N company had inspected recently
by Mr.. A. Mcqueen, of Portland, who
visited the property in company with
c. w. Mount general agent of the O.
r. & n. company.
At the time Mr.. Mcqueen returned,
he would make no statement for pub
lication but it is learned since that he
expressed himself as highly gratified
with his visit, though the heavy snow
made 1t impossible for him to make a
thorough examination. 1t is learned
that ne expressed great hope for the
possible results, and stated that iron
there, was of the best quality and he
frther stated that should a quantity
be proven. there would be no question
but what transportation would be pro-
vided to haul out the tons and tons of
iron that apparently lay concealed in
the ground.
Mr.. Mcqueen is probably one of the
best tand most widely known experts
in the world. Last year he visited ST.
IBERIA, in the interests of Carnegie.
where he inspected iron deposits in that
country.
Mr.. Mcqueen expects to make an
other inspection of the Iron Dyke
property in the spring. and there is
little doubt that railroads will be built
in the North Fork country. should it be
proven that there is a sufficient guam
tity of iron to warrant it.
