How To MAKE A LAWYER. "A
year or two agowhen a young man
entered a Detroit lawyers office
to study law, the practitioner sat
down besides him and said: Now
see here, | have no time to fool
away, and if you don't pan out
we'll | won't keep you thirty days.
Do you want to make a good
lawyer?" Eyes sir" said he.
We'll, now listen. Be good to
the boys becausethey are grow
ing up to a cash basis. Work in
with the reporter and get puffs.
Go to church for sake of exam
pie. Don't fool any time away
on poetry, and don'teven look at
a girl until you can plead a case.
If you can follow these ~instruc-
tons you will succeed. If you cam
not, 90 and learn to be a doctor
and kill your best friends. De

Ed Carmick and Bob Taylor
will lock horns in a fight for the
senatorship from Tennessee. MIR
Carmack has served one term
but from the way the Tennessee
ans talk he has not pre-empted
another. All the machinery of
the party will be at the disposal
of Carmack but as the people do
the voting in a primary Taylor
may yet reach the goal of his
ambition.

We are now having dog
days". This is nothing new, how
ever, as the dog has every day
in the year for his own here. And
why he is the most privileged OF
all animals it is hard to guess.
He is certainly to the most worth
less at least our neighbours dogs
are.

The explosion of the United
States gunboat Bennington at
San Diego, Cal, is the third
horror Of it's kind in our navy
within the past few years. The
sinking of the Maine and the ex-
plosion Of thirteen inch gun on
the Missouri a year ago at Pensaco
Ia were frightful accidents and re-
suited in great loss Of life. The
Pennington horror adds another
to the list Of those unfortunate
accident for which no cause can
be assigned, but which test the
manhood Of the brave young men
who compose the American navy.

The estimates of the Tarana gold production for the year have been growing since the work on the spring cleanup has gotten we'll un- der way.
 Letters and telegrams from Fair banks say the cleanup will be larger than it was hoped for. They now place the figure for the years production at $6,OOO,OOO instead of $5,00O,OOO as was done before the sluicing begun.
 It is said that while money was scarce in the Panama cities of Fair banks and Cinema throughout the winter, both towns are now over run with gold dust.
 More accurate reports, however, will be forthcoming in a short time.

Valdez Is now about six years old and has been duly lncorpor- ated. All corners have been at liberty to take up lots without ex- pense other than filing loeat on notice and erecting an habitahle dwelling; we have a mayor, city council. health board, d fine. well attended school and many other up ,o- date improvements, but : range to say, we are all squatters in every sense of the word. We have never secured a patent to the land on which the town is located, though two years ago steps were taken toward that end and com mittee was appointed 10 attend to the necessary details of putting the matter through the land office and have commissioner appointed. The necessary maps, made from survey, were filed, but that was all.
 There are many vacant places between buildings in some of the best streets of the town where owners have erected buildings on only part of their lots; these spaces have been, and with the present population, are safe from in- trusion, as we have recognized each owners right to a certain sized piece of ground. But will this right be recognized by strangers in case of q run of new settlers to this section? If any should settle on q seemingly unoccupied lot they might possibly be ejected through process of law, but that is cxpen- sive and entails considerable worry and trouble.
 l. might possibly be a good plan for the. residents of Valdez to at once begin the necessary proceed ings to secure patent to the land, which, when completed and the allotment made. will give each one an absolute title to whatever land he or she may hold in the town.
