that we are to have an education

This promises to be the largest

greatest revival of education that

splendid program, which will ap-

Among the many other things
that we advocate in this depart
ment is the question of good
roads, and this is the question
about which we should all feel
more greatly concerned. Ow-
ing to the great amount of travel
from this section of the county
through and from Caledonia to
Columbus, the roads connecting
these two commercial centres
last winter became almost i'm
dassible except that part of the
road which is being worked by
taxation. Now, the citizens of
District l are being specially
taxed to keep up Military and
Wolf Roads. and this tax is sup
posed to be equally divided be-
tween the two roads from the
point where the Wolf Road inter
sects the Military Road FIVE
miles north of Colum bus onward,
but this is only violent suppo-
sition, as the Wolf Road has. as
we might say, been almost wholly
neglected.
We do not want to be placed
in the attitude of criticising the
work that has and is being done
by the efficient contractor, Mr..
Will Gupton, under the very able
supervision of the road commits
sioners in charge of said work
for the work that they have done

citizens of this town and com

make a suggestisn, which in the
near future will be embodied in
TO a petition and presented to
the Board of Supervisors for
their consideration, and that sug-
gestion is simply this; Instead
of dividing this tax equally be-
tween the Wolf and Military
Roads. We suggest that it be di-
yided between the Tuscaloosa

it is intersected by the Caledonia
and Tuscaloosa Road. and from
there To Caledonia is a distance
Of only six miles. whereas the
distance from Caledonia via the
Wolf Road to the intersection of
the Wolf and Military Roads is
ten miles, difference of four
miles. And then it would not
cost half as much to put this
road ia first class condition and
keep it so as it would the Wolf
Road, and it is a much more di-
rect aud desirable route. And
as fifteen miles of road is entire
ly too much for one contractor or
one squad of hands to keep up,
either employ second contract
or, or a second squad of hands,
both squads to be under the Su-
pervision of the present con
tractor, and put the second
squad at work on the upper end
of the ri ad working out of Gale
donia; then and not until then,
will we have a good road from
here to Colum bus. With a double
daily mail from here to Colum-

traffic, this should be made the
best road in the county.

Report On Natives.

Lieutenant Bernard Sharp. who was detailed this summer to in vestigate the condition of the na- tives of the Copper river valley, has made his report to the war depart- ment.
 Although he found many cases of Restitution among the natives, conditions proved to be on the whole not of distressing nature, and it was found necessary to dis tribute rations only in isolated in- stances. Lieutenant Sharp dis tributed in all about 24,OOO pounds of food.
 1t does not appear" he says, "that the condition of these h. dians has beeG necessarily altered for the worse by the advent of the white man. While it is true that most of the moose and caribou have been driven out of the country by forest fires. the loss has probably been more than repaid by increased facilities for trading fish and furs for clothing, and by opportunities to earn occasional wages"
 Lieutenant Sharp recommends supervision for these Indians, but believes they should not be placed on reservations. An honest and intelligent supervisor with a few assistants of the same class scat tered over the country could be of great assistance in improving the conditions of health and living among the natives. is Lieutenant Sharp's conclusion.

Some papers have suggested that the reason that the convention should be held at Seattle is that Alaskans could never agree upon any point in the territory.

h an address before the Trans Mississippi Commercial Congress, Hon. J. H. Richards, president oi the American Mining Congress, strongly favored the creation of a government Department of Mines and Mining. Regarding the effect ef such department of mining in Alaska, he said: "A department would aid in giving proper recog- hilton to the future possibilities of Alaska, one of ths greatest store houses of mineral wealth now knswn. That territory properly guided and conserved will prove enc of the greatest buIwarks of the country in its hours of trial and xeed.

The contention of NJ. Dempsey that the Slate creek mining camp Is entitled to some recognition by the road commission and the sig nal corps is well taken. Slate Greek, the best producing camp in the Copper river valley, has no trails. except such as the miners themselves have made, no tele. graph service. and so far has had a very poor apology for mail service. The Chisna district practically SUD- ported this town for several years, and the citizens should go further Tn the attempt to improve its roads and secure telegraph ser vice than granting a half hearted endorsement of the project through the chamber of commerce.

Young man went from New York 70
his home in Torrington Conn, as a
tramp just out of curiosity. His only
capital was twelve lead pencils and
six shoe laces. He tells the story
himself, and it is interesting to note
that upon reaching a place of any
size he went to the Y. M. C. A.
headquarters first and, having sold
lead pencils, was able to secure good
lodging at a very moderate rate. In
reference to this he says:
81 wish to say here that half of
the hotel proprietors in the state
could well pattern from the methods
adopted by the Y. M. c. A., both in
its homelike conveniences and the
chance it gives the young man. The
generous policy of the association is
nothing short of a godsend."
In Newark, in out own state, plans
are completed for, a big addition to
the handsome Y. M. C. A. structure
there to add about sixty rooms to the
dormitory. In Newark, many young
men employed in the city have their
rooms in the Y. M. G. A. where they
have all the conveniences at a mod
crate cost, getting their meals where
they choose.
A city the. size of Perth Amboy is
in need of such an institution as this.
Not only do we have plenty of young
men coming here to board, but we
have strangers, who have but little
money, yet who want accommodations
in respectable quarters. There is big
work for a Y. M. C. A. and there r.
plenty of men here to make n y
Former efforts have been

reason or another they have fallen
