Eastern investors Hold Certificates

Salem, Or, Dec. 18.-R. III. God

and lumberman of La Crosse, Wis,
has arrived here from the East to
make an investigation of numerous

Just how much of the fraudulent pa

it is thought that most of the paper

men, or those contemplating pursuing
any branch Of the industry. It has
been the custom for several years to
offer this course in the early spring
before the miners return north for the
summer. Many Alaskans who are

advantage of the opportunity to spend
their time becoming more proficient
in the mining industry, and the course
is always popular with this class.
Instruction will be given in miner
alogy, chemistry, assaying, milling

urgy. The mining laws of Alaska,
British Colubmia and the United
States will also be taught.
During the past summer the labora-

BID ON LuzoN ROAD.
Seattle rlen ASK for phlllnnlne
Concession.


Washington, Dec. 1S.-Bids were
opened at the insular bureau of the
war department Friday for conces.
slonary grants to be made by the
Philippine government for the con.
struction, maintenance and operation
OF railroads in the Philippine islands.
as provided by act of congress.
1t is estimated that the railroad
lines which are to be constructed in
the Philippines will have an agere-
gate mileage of about 1888 miles.
Lines are to be constructed on the
islands of Luzon, Panay, Negros.
Cebu, Leyte and Samar.
These railroad lines are to be post
routes and military roads subject to
the use of the Philippine government
and the United States, and subject to
such reasonable regulations as the
Philippine government, with the APP
proval of the secretary of war, may
impose restricting the charges for
such government transportation. The
act OF congress provides how the gross
railroad earnings of the islands should
be applied.
Among other bids Maurice McMick-
en-, j. II. Greefkens, g. Poncin, Jacob
Furth and E. G. Hughes, of Seattle,
offered to build 100 miles of railway
in Southern Luzon, designated in the
circular as line No. 6, under 4 per
cent guarantee for thirty years on 95
per cent of the cost of construction.
They agreed to complete the road in
three years instead of one.

ished and Shonfs rlusf Be Good.
IS Well as rllnor Officials.

Washington, Dec. 18.-President
Roosevelt Saturday night took up the
matter of the isthmian canal scandals
as developed by the debate in the SEN
ate during the previous three DAYS.
He is determined to prevent further
criticism of the character put forward
by Senators Tillman, Culberson and
others.
Senators Allison and Hale. both
members of the appropriation commit
tee were present. The president made
it plain to Mr.. Shonts that the literary
bureau in charge of Secretary Bishop
must be at once discontinued and Mr..
Bishop confine his services purely to
administrative matters. He also dis
cussed the advisability of reducing
his salary from $40, 900 now paid, to
$5, 900, or some other moderate sum.
It was also made apparent to Chair
man Shonts that if he still has an Off
cial connection with the Clover Leaf
railroad it must be severed Immediate
ly. Senator Tillman declared that Mr..
Shonts is still active president of the
system and neither Mr.. Shonts nor
any of the administration senators
have entered denial of the declara-
ton. The president further gave Mr..
Shonts much advice regarding the con-
duct of affairs on the isthmus. It is
prescribed in the president order that
the canal commission must leave at
once for that place.
The bill appropriating $11, 900, 600
for the canal work, passed by the SEN
ate Saturday, provides that within
ninety days the secretary of the treas
ury must furnish estimates to the sem
ate and house appropriations commit
tees of all salaries paid those employed
on canal work, except laborers and un-
skilled laborers. This feature of the
bill was discussed with Senators ALI
son and Hale. It is believed that
many reforms will be instituted in the
administration of the canal before an
appropriation is requested from con-
gress. This work of reform must be-
gin at once, as Secretary Taft says the
81 [, 900, 600 now being obtained will
last no longer than April at the out
side.
In the meantime, Senator Tillman
will begin a strong agitation for a
thorough investigation of the entire
canal situation. He will be opposed
by the Republicans, but supported by
the Democrats. Even some of the
Republicans favor an inquiry, and
Mr.. Tillman threatens to cause much
trouble unless matters are put on such
basis as to prevent just criticism.

report recommending an appropria,
tion of 81, 900, 600 for construction OF

A CHESS VILLAGE.

In a plain. Of the Harz Mountains, a
few miles distant from the quaint old
town of Halberstadt, Germany, lies
the village of Strobeck. The history
Of Strobeck and its people has for hun
dreds of years been associated with
the game of chess. It is veritable
chess village, says the Royal Maya
zine, nursery garden for that ancient
game.
From earliest childhood the boys
and girls are made familiar with
board and men, At school chess is
treated as an obligatory subject, and
is taught systematically. AS soon as
pupils have mastered the moves and
the rules Of the game, they are en-
couraged to undertake the solution OF
chess problems and to invent new
ones, Just as an English schoolboy Is
set to making Latin verse.
At Easter there are chess examina-
lions and tournaments among the
school children. Three awards OF hon.
or in the shape Of chess-boards bear
ing the inscription, 1.-THE Reward OF
Industry" are given by the village
community. These tournamants are
attended by lovers of chess from far
and near. During the last half-cen-
fury several chess congresses OF wide
interest have also been held at Stro-
beck
From a very early time the Stro-
beckers have had the privilege OF chal-
longing to a game Of chess any prince
or nobleman or exalted parsonage who
happens to pass through their village.
In the year 1851 the Great Elector
Of Brandenburg was challenged In this
way, and in memory Of the event pre-
scented to the villagers Z carved board
and set Of silver chessmen, still pre-
served.
How chess became the ruling pas
sion Of Strobeck has never been ascer-
tained, but the legend most generally
believed sets forth that ii the elev-
enth century famous political prs
oner was confined IN m ancient tower
which SIN stands n the center Of tho
village. Time hung heavy on his
hands, and being lover Of chess, a.

Silver Dollars Being ReC0nverted
into Bullion.

San Francisco, Dec. 18.-The con-
tinued high price of silver, between IS
and sc cents per ounce, is causing
heavy shipments of Mexican dollars
meltedi nto. bullion through this port,
Seattle and Vancouver to the Orient.
The shipments are being sent by Wells,
Fargo & Co. from Mexican points un-
der heavy guard in the company's ex-
press cars.
It is said that during the past six
teen days thirteen millions in silver
bullion have been brought out of Mex
leo for shipment to the far East from
this coast.
In financial circles predictions are
made that silver is going to 70 cents
because the surplus production is linn
tied, while the demand is constantly
growing.

Somebody else's pet slogan was: ~
church on every hilltop and school
house In every valley"
Maybe it was the other way round
But the proportion was the same. And
the general idea was that, IL it rained
schoolhouses one day, the millennium
might be expected the next day or, at
the furthest, the day after.
That's all changed. Country schools
are being shut up by the score. But
don't get excited. The young idea ID
not being deprived Of its right to shoot.
On the contrary, 1t is at last receiving
just as good a chance along that line
as used to be the exclusive privilege Of
town children.
This is the way 1t Is done. Take
anywhere from two to a dozen spin
ding, t0ttering, half dead country
schools. There are thousands Of them.
Throughout the East the rural school
population has dwindled to half what
it used to be. One reason Is the move
ment toward the cities. Another 10
that the degree and kind Of learning
handed out In these familiar little
old buildings wasn't able to bring q
child within less than long distance
communication with an education.
Under the new system all Of these
scratch-scrabble schools In township
are closed. II there already exists q
graded school within the township, the
country pupils are taken back and
forth between their homes and the
school, the cost Of their transportation
being paid out Of the school fund Of
the township. The result Is that the
country children have the same adj
vantages as those In town. And the
cost to the township Is less.-Utica
