WHIrEwooD's NEW HOTEL.

The town of Whitewood is to have
a thoroughly modern hotel. 1t is
being built by Enos Lane on the
corner Of Main street facing the
Northwestern station and will cost
SIS, 900. 1t is of white cut stone
with hipped single roof. Stone
laying has been in progress now for
several weeks and it will be finished
by the first of the year.
The citizens of Whitewood first
inaugurated the hotel project last
spring, intending to put 10 build
ing to cost about $40, 900, and to pay
for it by subscription. After the
plans were drawn it was found. that
the building they desired could not
be put up for the money they cared
to invest in it. In order to have the
building completed they gave Mr..
Lane bonus of the lots, excavation
and foundation walls.

London, Sept. 2s.-Upon the meet
Ing of the Alaskan boundary commits
sion this morning d. p. Watson OF
Pittsburg. who began the initial argu-
ment for the United States yesterday,
took up the question OF Russia's title
to Alaska. He showed that 1t rested
upon the right OF discovery. settlement,
and exploitation; that England never
asserted a claim to this territory, and
that correspondence showed that she
had no claim. Mr.. Watson devoted the
afternoon to the presentation OF the
barrier theory. He argued that the pri-
mary idea in the minds of the Russian
negotiations was the establishment OF
Ia barrier to prevent the advance OF
British traders from the east, and that
Great Britain likewise desired to pre-.
vent collisions between the traders Of
the Hudson Bay company and the
Russian-American company. These
purposes, he commended, would be frus-
lstrated completely il the British were
to have had the heads Of the inlets

IMPORTANT TO TIMBER USERS.

The following order has been is
sued from the general land office
which affects all people in the Hills:
Washington, D. c., May Goth,
l903-To Forest Officers: Gentle
men-The provision Of law, and the
department rules and regulations OF
Dec. 18th, 1901, and January 18th,
1902, prescribed hereunder by the
secretary of the interior, limit the
free use of forest reserve timber to
the personal needs Of residents of
the state or territory where the for
est reserve is located, whose lands
or claims do not afford sufficient tim
Der for fuel, fencing and building
thereon, or for necessary use and
developing the natural resource. OF
those lands.
These rules and regulations do not
authorize the free use of forest re-
serve timber for any business or
commercial use whatever; and must
not be so construed by the forest
officers.
Therefore, you will not allow the
use OF forest timber, free of charge
by persons conducting hotels, road
ranches, way stations, and other
similar places maintained for the
accommodation Of the public; or BY
persons conducting stores and othe,
places of trade and business, or BY
settlers, ranchers and any other per
sons for the use in the manufacture
of crates, boxes, or other device fol
the shipment of the product OF theil
lands; or for fencing or other use
in futherance Of grazing or other in
dustry conducted as matter O
speculation upon other lands thar
those owned, or claimed by the stool
owner or settlers under public lane
laws.
Timber for such purposes can be
secured by purchase at moderate
cost. You will endeavor to so ex
plain this matter to all whom it con
Germs, that they will understand ane
be governed by the limitations o
the department rules and regula
tions in the case.
When in doubt as to the actor
to be taken upon applications fol
the free use Of timber or for other
purposes than those stated in the
department rules and regulations
submit the case for consideration tt
this office. Very respectfully,

The sixth annual convention of the
American Mining Congress closed Its
sessions at Deadwood and Lead, South
Dakota, on September 10, 1903, and this
meeting was doubtless the most salts
factory Of any that has been held thus
far. The attendance Of persons ac-
SstiveIy concerned In mining operations
Vas not SO large as was anticipated
but there WAS present at every session
small but attentive working member
ship which forms the nucleus for a
stronger organization In the future.
The delibera.icns OF the body. under
the guidance OF President Richards,
were dignified and absolutely harmon
souS throughout, The papers read be-
fore the congress were generally of a
high order, including q number which
were drawn fro the actual experience
OF practical mining men The strictly
technical and scientific papers were
educational In their scope and will
take high rank as such. This meeting
has resulted In more clearly defining
the work OF the congress. While the
securing Of department or bureau Of
mining In the national government is
In line with It's purposes. there are
other objects Of much Importance, as
was brought out by this assemblage.
These meetings result In the dissemin-
alton Of such information as tends to
unity the interests Of mining men and
enable them to act together In secur-
Ing desired recognition for their In
dustry.
Steps were taken to secure more
permanent membership among active
mining men Ia All parts OF the country
! and It Is suggested that this member.
ship include prospectors and practical
workers as we'll as mine owners and
managers. This In time should result
ii making d substantial Organization
{ and In slpplanting the loose method d
q having delegates appointed indiscripa
y inateiy and partially from among
1 those who are practically sight-seeri
4 and tourists. This congress can b,
made to fully represent the mining In
dustry II these concerned therein cal
be united tn its support Mining Re

Crawford and Mr.. and Mrs. Lorenz for
conspiracy to defraud the government.
Attorneys representing those indicted
have conferred with District Attorney

Machen's trial will be watched with
great interest as he expected to make

WORLD'S-I0o4-FAIR
GROUND FOR REVERSAL.

II young girl, enamored Of the footlights, be
so foolish as to seek preferment the stage, and
be so utterly foolish to fall then does 1t follow
that she shall be expelled from school? The Maple
wood School Board has wrestIed with the problem
and has declared a precedent which is that said
young girl, having essayed said career and having
suffered said failure shall not be permitted to at
tend said school
Mr. Worldly Wisemans paternal and dsinter-
osted advice to the very young who contemplate
the boards" as livelihood is merely, Don't" 1t
is unfortunately true, considering the number that
fall by the waysde-fortunately true for the cause
of the art-that this does not settle the matter In
fact when this don't is cast in the face OF the
pirant, he she usually retorts with the tremen-
dous but misapplIed 81 will"
Say what we may, they insist on rlskng 1t. When
they fail of course they have made great mistake
and all that; though. If their friends one day see
their names splattered all over the b'Ilboards-weI,
that is another story.
The young girl in this particular case-Or girls
there were twO-left home and parents went TO Chi
eago and there for three weeks In vain besieged
hardhearted managers. The Inevitable happened;
they out Of money and had TO come home They
had erred grievously erred but 1t seemed that the
only cours= open was to learn better"
But the members OF the School Board closed TO
them the institution in which their young minds
could have been directed higher things and more
sensible ambitions Nay. remain condemned in
your ignorance" was in effect the verdict of the
school directors This certainly is not in accord with
logic or law. These girls entitled 10 an appeal.
Clearly. if under the statutes then under English
common or Roman law or by virtue of the Vedas
O Analects in simple common sense. some logical
ground exists for overruling this School Board

NON GRATA-

There was fly in the ointment ~ the Moberly
meeting week ago and it has caused some conten-
ton. or course IL Mr.. Kelly. convicted boOdler. Just
crcpt into the Moberly procession unnoticed-and It
must be conceded that the unctuous and Oleous gen
teman has wOrmy propensity against which no
procession would bc absolutely immune-then no
significance attaches To the fact.
Not infrequently it happens that personae non
gratae affect the company of the elect and long
the elect are unconscious of their presence and
participation, especial discredit is reflected. Toll
Grafton Of the unfortunate presence cannot be fairly
imputed until knowledge is shown.
Certainly it is unfortunate that some vigilaat
eye did detect the handsome figure Of the doubt
ful patriot in Saturday procession and it is also
fortunate that he was permitted later. in place
where spirtuouS beverages are dispensed 10 deliver
haranGue against reform and reformers.
As a political asset the vaueleSsness Of Kelly is
and cannot but be recognized by every element in
the party. Democrats Of the high grade deplore the
circumstance OF his attendance upon grounds or
decency and good morals while to the merest So
called politician il must be regrettahle grounds
OF expediency, II no other.
The truth Is that there is no logical place fog
Kelly except in that limited Republican fold which
fosters the aspirations OF Kratz and his confreres
That Kelly can have no part in 4 Democratic meet
ing at this time and that his presence is that OF
enemy and traitor appears from a consideration o:
the deeper motives which hold dominion over De
mOcracy-motiyes directly nimical TO Kelly and his
kind. Eventually Kelly will be found arrayed
against his party. when his party shall have COM
pletely embodied and revealed its purpose as the
party Of good government

IMPROVING THE RACE.

Chicago University Quarrels with Mr.. Roosevelt
on the question Of race suicide. Professor Jsckman
uitcrinS the belief that we as i race have evouted
through and beyond the stage Of the rabbit and the
rlt. which seems to imply that we are susceptible
of Improvement by a process of upbreeding.
We know that the rat is hopeless. You may cut
of his tail and instruct him in the art of walking on
his n legs. but his children will be just ordinary
rais and it doesn't matter how many generations
you work upon-yOu may keep it up al lib. 1t Is
difficult 10 grasp the precise suggestion of the Pro-
fesSors remark. Probably lie has some subtle bio
logical proposition in mnd-perhaps he means 10
hint that future generations of Americans may be
bred up TO have hooks on the shoulders like n bat
50 that we may suspend ourselves easily upon the
straps in trolley cars. Doubtless good deal might
be done toward developing the human anatomy
along utilitarian lines.
However the main point Of the Professors re-
marks is that there are too many of us now and
rlat what we need in future is quality and not
quantity. He relates the ancient fable of the owl
which upbraided the eagle for having only two
young ones, while she herself had four. Yes" re-
