AS TO GOVERNMENT REQUIREMENT
 OF RAILROADS.

government ownership of railroads, or rather in declaring off-hand that the thing is impossible or impracticable, seem to think that they present poser when they ask: Where is the govern ment to get the vast amount of money necessary to buy the railroads? If gov ernment ownership were desirable, if the people were sure that they wanted to take over the railroads, the question of raising the money to pay for them at fair, not an inflated valuation would not be difficult one to solve Any railroad financier could manage that. Hartman could tell in two minutes how it could be done. But small per centage of cash would be needed, unless the bonds and stocks are heavily wa tered, for the governments railroad bonds and stocks with even low rate of interest guaranteed would find ready purchasers. The credit of the govern ment is certainly as good as that of any railroad company. And in the govern ment purchase water would not figure as basis of dividends.
 When one big railroad wants to buy or get control of another it does not rustic around and borrow the cash to pay for it. The purchasing railroad issues its own obligations, generally in excess of those outstanding against the road it acquires, thus watering the stock as well as consolidating the properties. If Hartman or Hill or Gould can by a few strokes of pen buy transconti- mental railroad or big link therein, the whole United States or Canada would have no difficulty in acquiring all the railroads of the country, so far as pay ing for them is concerned It is said that it would take sl ,6OO, ,O0O ,OOO to buy the American railroads. A mere baga- telle. The national debt of the United States at the close of the war, when the country's population was only about two-ffths what it is now, was over $2,- 000, ,00000 It was s75 per capita, whereas it is now only SIP per capita and purchase of the railroads would in- crease it to only s32 per capita. And there was nothing of intrinsic value to show for the war debt, nothing acquired to earn money, while the acquired rail- roads would earn interest on the debt incurred in their purchase and eventu- ally pay off the principal, if SO desired The war debt represented loss and de- struction; this debt would represent an immense property of vast earning ca paeity-from to 2O per cent, as man. aged by the corporation.
 We write this not in advocacy of gov ernment ownership of railroads, hut to show the fallacy of the assumption that the payment for them presents an insu-

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY ?, 1907.
MINERS ASSOCIATION WILL MOVE
 FOR BETTER MAIL SERVICE.

The meeting of the Rampant Miners Association yesterday was fairly well attended.
 Aside from the routine business per taining to the association, Secretary F. J. Raining informs the Valley News that an endeavor will be made to secure better mail facilities for Yukon river points, The object is most worthy one and should be encouraged by all citation or not. It is respectfully sug- gested that whatever action has been decided upon will be better taken quickly, for the Canadian government has given notice that it will terminate the postal treaty with the United States next spring, and there is likely to be shaking up of mail matters along the river about that time.
 In this connection it is hardly neces- sary to mention the fact that the non arrival of outside mail at points above Tauada is not attributable to local causes. The hitch was somewhere be- yond Eagle-perhaps beyond Dawson. At Panama and lower river points mail from the outside was received earlier than formerly, notwithstanding the late ness of the season. At Nome for the first time in the camps history they were rejoicing over outside mail re- ceived before Christmas.
 At Panama and lower points they get their mail over the Valdez route. That is the reason they have gotten it a month or more before we will get ours A year and half ago q petition was drawn up here to have our mail come by way of Valdez. Officials of the post office department were interviewed and favored the plan, and for a brief time success seemed assured It is a matter of local history how certain rabble raised a contention against the proposed improvement, and how the ones who had suggested the change, indignant at being repaid in abuse, let the matter sink gently Co rest.
 If the miners association can carry the point, gool enough. The time is very near when aIl the American Yukon ought ta receive its mail over homs territory.

WORK OF IRRIGATION.
New Plans Adopted Contemplate
Many Improvements.

In the irrigation division of the n e.
ricultural Department the three main
lines of work will be, as heretofore, dis
semination of practical information.
scientific and technical Investigations,
and reporting on irrigation conditions
in certain districts In view of the fact
that probably about 100000 acres of
land provided with water for irriga-
ton will be available for settlement at
the close of 1908, it is believed that in
than in supplying practical information
through publications and expert adj
vice TO the new settlers on this land,
and it is therefore deemed advisable
to broaden the scope of this work so
as TO make it valuable to every class
of farmers dependent upon irrigation
and to every project, whether public or
private.
The scientific and technical investiga-
tons will he continuation and exten-
sion of what has already been done.
Prominent features of the work will be
to determine what becomes of the large
quantity of water which is annually
spread over cropped soils, involving q
study of evaporation. seepage and dis
tributlon Of losses. with view to Sc
curing higher economy i'm the use of
water: the relation of irrigation water
to quantity and quality Of crop and the
adaptation of methods TO different soils
and crops. and study of the more
technical features of the measurement.
conveyance. storage and distribution of
water on farms. and the various de
vices used for pumping.
In the study of irrigation conditions
in different localities emphasis is to be
laid especially on possible improve
ments of present methods which will
lead TO a more economical use of water.

HALF A MILLION A DAY.
That Is the Amount Which Chicago
Puts Into Stimulants.

Chicago's consumption of stimulants is
amazing, according to correspondent.
The money spent in saloons alone totals
up between $12O,OOO,OOO and $130.c00,-
600 annually. At least $10,O00,000 more
is spent for stimulating drugs in the 900
drug stores in the city.
If tobacco can be classed as a stimu-
liant it may be said that there are between
$4,000 and 10000 places in the city
where cigars and tobacco are sold. Proba-
bly, 100000 per day is not an exagger-
ated estimate for Chicago's smoking bill.
At the lowest estimate, taking alcoholic
beverages, tobaccos, and all manner of
drugs into account, it is impossible to fig
ure that Chicago spends less than $780,
600 per day on stimulants of various
kinds. and the chances are the amount is
considerably higher.
OF this enormous sum. how much does
the worker spend? Fully 40 per cent, if
all business men, officers of corporations,
and all men who work with hand or brain,
are included. But for the worker, the
saloonkeepers themselves say, they would
have to close up shop in a few days. The
remaining % per cent of the SJOO,OOO
must be set aside between women who
lead domestic lives and non-workers of all
kinds. Women perhaps are the heaviest
OF all users of drugs.

KILLS K1NswoMAN; SHOOTS SELF
Carpenter. After Reprimand, Ends
Life of S;ster-in-Law.


Charles +. Reinheimer, 40 years old,
carpenter, shot and killed his sister
in-law, Mrs. Annie Lewis, Is years
old, and then attempted to commit suicide
in his home in Chicago. Mrs. Lewis was
shot in the left side neal the heart and
died almost instantly. Reinhelmer shot
himself twice, once in the groin and once
In the left side. He was taken uncon-
scious TO the hospital and the physicians
entertain little hope of his recovery. Mrs.
Lewis is said to have been divorced from
her husband more than year ago, and
since that time had been living at the
Reinheimer home. Reinheimer returned
home from work under the influence of
liquor the pre- ious night, and is declar-
ed to have threatened the life of his wife,
Sophie, 3S years old, because she and
Mrs. Lewis had attempted to induce him
to stop drinking. When Reinheimer arose
in the morning he left the house, but re-
turned home about s O'Clock carrying a
small package. He entered the bathroom,
where, the police believe, he loaded a re-
volyer which he purchased. Mrs. Lewis
had entered her bedroom and Mrs. Rein
heimer was preparing breakfast when
He entered Mrs. Lewis bedroom and a
few seconds later Mrs. Reinheimer heard

TIVE BURN As DOC BARKs.
Children Die in Beds, Though AMI

While a faithful dog vainly tried by
frantic barking 10 awaken theI1, five chill
dren were burned to death in Titusville,
Pa. in the small hours of tine morning.
Two others were severely injured, and
one OF them cannot recover. The fire
occurred al the home of Thomas Zuver,
an oil producer, and is supposed to have
originated in the floor beneath an over
heated gas range. Zuver was awakened
by the barking of his dog after his chill
dren had virtually been cnmated in their
beds. In another moment the flames
would have been wrapping themselves
around himself. his wife and baby. He
sprang from bed. forced the window sash,

Here he found his son Nelson, IA years
old. who had just come through window

CHICAGO.

Measured by the volume Of payments
through the banks, the check to trade
shows less severity and for the month
thus far the average is under ID per cent.
The situation to money is brighter, al
though an immediate return to the normal
status requires more deliberltion. The
demand for currency remains acute. More
encouragement is derived from the con-
slant additions to note circulation and
specie. Interior calls for funds are now
more easily satisfied.
Most mercantile lines have felt the adj
verse turn and there is more caution ex-
ercised in the present emergency, yet the
hindrances do not obscure the outlook for
better results from now on dntll Christ
mas. There may be more retrerthment
in industrial branches, but the prevailing
tone favors restoration OF healthier
financial sentiment as the best encourage
nIent for the future.
Less new building affects the planning
mills and lumber market, and arrivals of
raw materials are under those at this
time last year, while prices mainly are
easier, particularly hides. which are at
the lowest average recorded for some
years past.

DIG CANAL IN FIVE YEARS.
Congressman Madden, Back from
Panama, Is Enthusiastic.

Congressman Martin Il. Madden OF
Chicago, just back from an inspection of
the Panama canal. is enthusiastic over
what he saw, and said Without a doubt
the Panama canal can be made an ac-
complished fact in FIVE more years. Last
month a total of 1,S79.00O cubic yards
of earth were excavated. and that, not
withstanding the rainy season was at its
height. This speaks more than could
any other statement of the progress that
has been made possible and that is being
continued. The men now in control are
saying little, but they are performing re-
markable work. The organization now
in charge is one of the best. The peo-
pie of the United States really cannot APP
preciate the great progress that has been
made in the recent months Eighteen
members OF the committee on appropria-
tons of the national House OF Repre-
sentatives, who have been on tour OF
inspection of the Panama canal zone, also
have returned. Chairman Tawney of the
commission said he believed that the APP
preparation for the coming year will be
at least $1.0o0,000 less than the &c.,
100000 asked for by the estimate.

Before the New York State Public Ser
vice Commission a representative of the
United States Express Company admit
ted that his company, together with the
Adams and American express companies.
had formed and maintained community
of interests without which their stocks
would be worth less because the COM
panies concerned would be at the mercy
of the railroads. The hearing was brought
by certain shareholders of lhe United
States Express Company. who want to
get the laws amended SO that the directors
in such common carriers may not be self
perpetuating, as is now the case. The
complainants say that the United States
is virtually controlled by its presumed riv-
ais, neither of which has held a meeting
to elect directors for years. Two direc-
tors We're shown to be officially connected
