BETTERING RURAL

The Northampton Times sees I'm
the planting OF high schools in the
counties throughout the state the
dawn of the day for the country boy
and the country girl when there will
be added to their already numberless
advantages over their city cousins the
one and the only thing lacking to
render country life so incomparably
preferable and superior to the con
gestion and inadequacy of city sur
roundings as to remove all rational
inclination TO turn the back upon our
broad and fertile fields with their
life-giving sunshine and pure atmos-
phere." Our contemporary sees with
clear vision What with telephone
communication, instrusion of trolley
lines, the prospect of better roads,
rural mail delivery, labor-saving ma
chinery and travelling libraries the
one thing needful to relieve the con
gestion OF the cities, render country
life ideal. and turn the tide back to
the farm is system of better edu-
cational-higher educational-fa -facil-

$4,000 CLUB.

Gentlemen Did ever you figure
that this region is most admirably
adapted to the textile industry?
Well, it is, and here are some OF the
reasons: The problems of manurac-
turing cotton in the South are two
labor and fuel, or power. The
skilled labor trained in New England
mills has steadfastly refused TO go
South, because of the great heat
hot days and nights Though there
has been a great exodus of cotton
factories to the South from the North
.still, because of labor, as stated the
finer cotton fabrics are yet monufac-
tured in New England.
Again, as to fuel: The majority of
Southern mills have to use steam
power, and coal from this field goes
South every day "a long expensive
haul, to supply them Now. on this
high, cool mountain range no obiec
tionsof excessive heat can be made.
Those Injured to New England win
ters can find no reason to complain
.of the cold Employers can secure
skilled New England labor here,
whore it will not go south at all.
As TO fuel that point need not be
discussed The greatest steam coal
in the world can be shoyelled from
the mines mouth right under the
factory's boilers

land manufactures.

The extent to which the finger
print system has been extended and
perfected is wonder OF modern
times. 1t seems incredible that the
individuality of the human fingers
should be so clearly defined and so
absolutely differentiated. But this
has long been an accepted fact. SO
clearly defined is it that Maj-Gen
Ainsworth In his annual report says.
THE finger prints OF an unidentified
dead soldier on the field OF battle will
establish his identity. and unknown
dead on the field will be a thing Of
the past. The finger prints of the
former soldiers also will serve as an
infalllble means Of Identification IN
the many pension and other cases in
which It becomes necessary to estab-
llsh the identity OF applicants with
the soldiers who rendered the ser

Selling Liquor to Indians
 May be Felony

District Attorney Boyce aud the grand jury have determined to test whether or not selling whlskey to Indians is a felony. Two people from Ketchikan, Richard Berry and Joshua Dodson, have been indicted for selling liquor without having paid the internal revenue tax. The proof, it is alleged, shows that they sold liquor to Indians. They were arraigned but have not plead to the indictments.
 Frank Biles, indicted for pocket picking at Sitka, plead guilty this morning in the district court. He will be sentenced later. He extracted $5O from the pocket of Samuel Smith at Sitka.
