THE NEWS OF MOBILE
Advertiser Bureau,
 NHnhfIa May 9


 There are some people in Mobile who would be miserable unless they had something to talk about or some one 10 knock. The latest is the progosed Pooihie ne located about six and half miles from the county courthouse, to the south ward and on Mobile Bay.
 1t will be recalled that some time ago a proposition was made to the general council by Mrs. Warren to sell to the city a certain tract of land con taining about 200 acres. the upset price the general council with the mayor, went down the line and viewed the land SaffoId Berney is the chairman of the ter. It Is understood he will ask for a meeting of his committee this week and at the same time invite President J. Howard Wilson of the Mobile Light and Electric Company to meet with them to discuss the site. also the feasibility of an electric car line to the point where the land lies:
 Knockers were out early this morn mig, this being a whole holiady for them and, with ample time on thelr hands, the matter was thorougnly dls- sected. Argument was advanced on all sides among this particular class Of personages that the plan fer a park at this point is not feasible Because of the great distance from the city and the disadvantage of a ten cent fare to poor people with large families. This argument, on the other hand, is a poor one. lnasmuch as The Advertiser Is as- sured that, if an electric line IS oulit to the place and the park established, the fare will not be over 5 cents. This was a boomerang to the knockers, so far as that argument was concerned. Another argument advanced was that the place is too far from the city. This argument, the champions of the place are ready, so they claim. to refute by pointing out that Spring HI Is fatheg charged. yet many poor people take

 The trial of the Andrews boys, Wno are charged with the murder of tneir Father and step-mother. which occurrea of the year, has been going on at Cam der all the week and has caused con siderable interest.

 The front part of Mrs. Mckinnon' building is two stories high, but the rear of 1t Is only one story. The fall ing bricks of the wall also fell on the roof of this part of Mrs. McKin- non's building and mashed it in, com. pletely destroying 1t, causing loss or about $2,500. which, together with the loss of the outhouses in the rear of Loekhart's drug store. brings the dam age caused by the falling wall up to The question as to who is liable for the damages resulting from the fall ing of the wall was the cause of the discussion, and all seemed to think that a few law suits would be the re- suit. Some seem to think that the city of Selma should be held responsible while others think that Lloyd M Hoop CT, the owner of the building, will be responsible. Others seem to think that Thomas Purvis, the contractor, Who has the contract to rebuild the build- ing. should be held responsible.
 Shortly after the fire. at the request of Mayor Atkins Fire Warden Walter Lardent of the Third Ward, examined the building and condemned the rear wall whether he also condemned the east wall of the building is not known but after the rear wall had been con. demned the city authorities had Il pulled down.

Course of Study
 in Practical Mining

For the man who winters in Seattle the Y. M. C. A. of that city has for the past two years offered practical course of study for miners and prospectors This was in response to the demand that in connection with its other work the association institute should give some thing especially adapted to the needs of the thousands of mining men from Alaska and elsewhere who make Seattle their headquarters during three or four months of the winter season. It was urged by those interested that many prospectors engaged in the business end of mining needed technical knowledge of an accurate and reliable character, and that it was almost impossible to get this outside of few large technical schools.
 To meet these conditions a course was formed by aeommittee of men of thor ough training and large practical expe- rience. The needs of the man in the field were kept constantly in view. group oi WathtiT ''hSiHt'"S "' " '"'''"'' of the best known mining engineers of the city, AS we'll as two men from the faculty of the school of mines of the University of Washington, was secured.

MIR. WAGNER WRITES
A Letter Touching on His Reported ManeuverS in the Recent Biz
 Caribou Hunt.
RAMPART, Dec. 9, 1905.

RAMPART, Dec. 9, 1905. Editor Yukon Valley News.
 Dear Sir:-Having just arrived from the Troublesome district, I found and read in a recent edition of your estima- ble paper the article "The End of the Hunt" The generosity of my friends was quite surprise to me, and I wish to express my gratitude and thanks toward the kind gentlemen who went through the hardship of killing so many caribou out in the mountains and then turning the meat over to me. Having plenty of meat now, l hope there won't be any more, for the present, who are willing to turn their hard earned caribou meat over to me. As far as that un- lucky shot is concerned, which I am supposed to have fired at one of the mighty Nimrods, I sincerely apologize and feel sorry, but hope the gentleman will wear another disguise next time I am at large. Yours sincerely,
 FR. WM. WAGNER.
 The paper said: Bob Andrews and Wagner killed two. Wagner claimed honors, but Andrews was the one who 
 shot at Andrews, thinking he was d caribou" The papers little story of the hunt was gathered around warm stoves, and may be inaccurate in some particu- lars: hunters do not always aim straight either with their guns or mouths.

Stanch Vessels in Disasters
 on Pacific Reefs.
The Gypsy, the Alameda and the Santa Barbara Lost Within
 a Week.

The San Francisco Examiner of Oct , gives account of three vessels which came to grief on the reefs of the Pacific coast within week.
 The first was the Gypsy, which was wrecked off New Monterey; the second the Alameda, which went on the rocks at Fort Point, just outside the Golden Gate; and the third the Santa Barbara, which encountered disaster off the Men docfno coast.
 The cargo of the Alameda is probably total loss Her passengers were trans ferred to lifeboats and safely landed on the beach, The Aiameda's wreck was caused by dense fog and a failure to sound the fog signal. The vessel was fairly on the rocks before the danger was recognized.
 In the darkness of the early morning of Oct. the steam schooner Santa Bar bara, with nineteen passengers and q crew of twenty-three on board, went Mendocino coast Her hull was pierced but those on board found safety on the nearby land. A heavy swell raised the vessel from her resting place and she was towed, in waterlogged condition, to San Francisco.

Patterson on

People of Rampant who were privi legged to meet and converse with the distinguished party of United States senators who stopped off here in 1903 have not forgotten Senator Patterson, of Colorado. Senator Patterson was also a member of the Taft party which went to the Philippines last summer, and on his return he was quoted as follows:
 "The Philippines-the more you know of them the more serious appears the problem. am convinced that in this government we are getting further and further away from Secretary Taft's pa triotic and humane policy-the Philip pines for tine Filipinos and ultimate independence. The gulf between the natives and the Americans is widening I fear the Philippines are a smoldering volcano. My visit to China has con vinced me more than ever of the wis dom and the necessity of Chinese ex- clusion. I believe that the boycott will soon be over, but in any event American manhood and civilization is of greater moment than Chinese commerce. Japan won me from the first.

Galveston Safe
 From Storms

Galveston, Texas, now presents a striking example of the way great ca lamties are sometimes turned into last ing benefits to mankind. Only little more than five years has elapsed since the city was almost totally destroyed by a hurricane which drove the water from the Gulf of Mexico across the island and plotted out more than 1000 lives in q single night and caused property loss exceeding $20,000,0OO. In the spring and autumn of each year the Gulf of Mexico is subject to fierce storms; and ever since the founding of the city men and capital had avoided Galveston be- cause it was considered inevitable that sometime great havoc would be wrought. In the fall of 1900 all the worst fears were realized. The terrific wind took the fatal direction at last and the waters of the gulf were hurled against the doomed city with irresistible force.
 Her people, instead of abandoning their ruined city, set sbout rebuilding and making such a calamity impossible of a recurrence. At an expenditure of an enormous amount of money they have constructed a sea wall designed to keep out the waves of the gulf, even shoud there come another such storm as that of la0o This wall k now com pleted fur distance of over three miles and follows the curves ot the shore. lt will be extended a. time ptsses The wall ls lT fcct above low tisle and Is lG feet wide at the base. narrowing at the top lt s constructed of concrete and rest- on taunslaiiau oi Piles driven q ivet into the clay.
