Miss Tutwiler has recently received from Dr. Eugene Smith, state geologlst volume in which he has described all the clays of Alabama He considers them wonderful possibilities of future wealth as scientific explanations the capitalists of the state cannot fail to be encouraged in developing this latent wealth of clay metal and timber.
 But said Miss Tutwiler, 'dn the val leys, plains and mountains of Alabama there is a latent wealth of far higher and nobler work than anything that the re- searches of the geologist have revealed. Those whom nature intended for our fu- ture poets. painters and scuptors remain mute inglorous Mitons' for lack of op- portunity. It is the task of the teachers of Alabama to seek and discover these treasures of undeveoped genius. these ~hidden veins of inestimable worth. We must find also those generous hearted mer whom God has blessed with large means and who will account Il a privilege to de- Velop the talent of youthful aspirants whom the state and perhaps the whole nation may be one day proud

SUDDEN DEATH Of
P. J. D|LLMAN
Passed Away at His Home in
Bangor. After Illness Of
But Four Days.
SUPERVISOR FOR 20 YEARS.

The sad news came Sunday morning
that p. j. Dillman had passed away
at his home early that morning. The
news came as a shock, because few, ii
any, knew that he had been ill. He had
been in his usual good health up until
the Wednesday prior to his death, when
he was stricken with pneumonia and the
efforts OF his physicians and nurses were
OF no avail. He lapsed into unconscious.
ness Saturday from which he did not
arouse before his death
Peter j Dillman was born in Ohio in
1885 and came to Bangor in 1869, where
be has since resided. He was popular
in public affairs and was widely known
throughout southern Michigan. AL
though a democrat in politics, the fact
that he had served 20 years as super
visor from a strong republican township
is strong testimony of the respect and
confidence the citizens of his township
reposed in him. 1t was practically con-
ceded that Mr.. DIllman would be super
visor of Bangor township Just as long as
he wan. ed the office.
He was nominated by the dem ocratic
party for register of deeds in 1902 and
had also been the nominee for judge of
probate and member of the legislature.
He was a man of strong personality, ex
celent executive ability and genial ma n
ners. He was always a leader and man
of much influence on the board of super
vsors and received the most responsible
and important committee assignments
on the board. He was we'll liked by all
who new him and owing to his jovial
disposition was a general favorite. He
will he missed not only by the citizens
of his township, but by the entire county.
He leaves wife and eight daughters
to mourn his death. Six of them are
living at home, the others being Mrs.
Clinard of Packard, Mich, and Mrs.
Clifford Davis of Los Angeles, Cal.
The funeral was held from his late
home in Bangor township at 2:30 p. IN.
Wednesday, and was one of the largest
funerals ever held in the county. Many
citizens from all over the county being
present to pay their last tribute of re-
spect to their friend who had passed to
his long rest.

With regard to the coal famine of
last winter, William E. Curtis of
the Chicago Record Herald, who has
been making a trip through the Du-
luth country, thinks the local deal
ers and people themselves were in
the main at fault, in delaying their
orders until a time when trajc. was
difficult to handle and when severe
weather made it impossible to deliv-
er freight Of any kind promptly. Mr..
Curtis also calls attention to the fact
that the railroads, which were blam-
ed for last winters conditions, have
sought this year to impress upon
everybody the necessity of getting
coal early and in ample quantities,
going even to the extent of conduct
ing an advertising campaign to warn
people of the necessity of being prov
ident in the matter of supplying
themselves early with fuel. 1t is
both to the advantage of the roads
and the people that such a course
be taken, as it will avoid the posi-
bility of fuel shortage and will en-
able the roads to get coal traffic out
of the way before heavy grain traffic
begins.

Towner, Nd, Sept. 26-Startling
charges are made in suit brought.
by Henry Rosenne of Upham, through
his attorney, D. J. O'Connel, against
John Wittmeyer of Kramer and J.
C. Bowers of Upham for the sum of
$10,500 on a charge of conspiracy to
defraud ~ ,l<as tal144
Back of the suit Rosenke tells an
interesting story. On Nov. g., 1906,
Rosenke's wife and three children
were killed in train wreck on the
Baltimore & Ohio railway while on
their way from Russia to join Ros-
enke in North Dakota. Rosenke, who
is Russian German and had been
in the United States only a short
time, went to the defendants for adj
vice after the death of his family.
The plaintiff alleges in his complaint
that the defendants told him not to
get an attorney but to let them fix
the settlement and that if they would
pay them $500 for expenses they
would get him $4,000. He also al
leges that false kilograms were sent
to him purporting to be from the
Baltimore & Ohio railway and also
Chicago, asking him to go to Chicago
at once for settlement. He went to
from the Imperial Russian consul IN
Chicago acon1panied nv Wittmayer
and Bauer, and after arriving deal
was fixed by the defendants and two
attorneys wherein Rosenke agreed to
settle with the railroad company for
| $1,000. He further claims that ST.
$50 was paid to the Chicago attorn-
eys and a check for $3,750 was given
| to the plaintiff. The check was given
to Wittmeyer for safe keeping and
he drew the money and had it plac-
ed to his own credit. The plaintic
further alleges that all he received
of the 5000 was $1,000. Rosenke
4 further alleges that he is unable te
read or write the English language
and consequently his pretended
friends took advantage of him.

Came Out of Senator :.
BOrah'S Office

8 Boise, Ida, Sept. 26--In the trial
Of Senator William e. Borah, charg-
ed with timber land frauds, former
Judge Burch of Detroit, special pro-
seeutor, today outlined the govern.
ment's case against the senator. It
was stated to the jury that the idea
of making money out of timber lands
which the United States threw open
to settlement in Idaho in tracts not
to exceed 100 acres to any individual
and at a price not to exceed $3.50
per acre, originated with State SEN
ator John Kincaid, one of the men
indicted with Senator Borah.s He is
alleged to have gathered several men
around him, among them the late
Gov. Steunenberg and William Sweet,
a mining man, and these two, it is
alleged, put up the first $4,000 as a
joint note, being the security by
which the frauds were inaugurated.
About this time, in 1899, Burch as
lserts, Gov. Steunenberg went to a
| conference called presumably for the
purpose of putting down the mining
troubles and while there met mine
owner named A. B. Campbell.
| Through Campbell, it is stated,
Steunenberg, who had exhausted
his personal resources, met Barber
and Moon, who Immediately took a
i deep interest In timberlands. Gov.
Steunenberg soon had a bank account
of $4,000, 1t is alleged, which he
checked from as agent" In COM

It will be difficult to harmonic the,
Monaghan and the Caucasian ele-
ments in any Caucasian country that
is on the Pacific sea coast and liable
to invasion by hordes of Oriental lab
orers. Notwithstanding the agree
ment that exists between England
and Japan, and the cordial relations
existing between the two govern
ments, when it comes to the concrete
mingling of the races, there is a ma
tural barrier to affiliation. The re-
cent disturbances in British terri
tory over the incoming of Japanese
and Hindus are illustrative of this
feeling, and a petition has been for
warded to the Canadian government
praying for legislation to exclude all
Oriental peoples of this sort. 1t ap-
pears therefore that the prejudice eX-
listing is not peculiar to California
or any of the American states, but
extends to whatever Caucasian races
are in the path of Oriental immigra-
ton.
Regretful as it is, and compelling
of sorrow, at the same time we must
not fail to comment upon the wis
dom of the unfortunate young man
up in Benson county who committed
suicide because his sweetheart was
going away. We do not mean that
he was wise to commit suicide, be-
cause there would perhaps have been
much in life that was valuable for
him had he lived But he was wise,
if determined on desperation, in
killing himeslf, instead of claiming
the life of the young lady also as a
forfeit. In too many Of these cases
the woman is singled out as the first
victim of temporary insanity or lun-
acy or what ever it may be that
leads to such deeds as these, and the
murderer becomes a suicide only af-
ter he has stained his hands with
the blood of an unwilling victim.

RAILROAD BUILDING.

Another frontier country is being
wiped out by the building of the Mil
waukee road through the southwest
ern part of North Dakota and some
of the scenes that were visible along
the line of the Northern Pacific thir-
" years ago are being repeated. The
editor of the Dickinson Press has
been along the line of the new road
in an automobile and some of his OBJ
servations are of interest as fol-
lows: Ill.
The work has been done on the
Milwaukee coast extension, west of
she Missouri river, in the past six
or seven months, is marvellous. 1t
Vows the most systematic railroad
. hiding preparations ever made in
be history of the country. Grading
@as not commenced until last spring
Bat now the 5S-pound steel rails are
asid into Lennon and two trains
-xaily are sent to the end of the line.
Rail laying is going ahead at the
rate of two miles per day.
No engineering for any coast line
compares with the Milwaukee. A
four-tenths grade was what the COM
pany wanted and it's engineers found
1t for 600 miles west of the Missouri
river, even through the Bad Lands.
In the Rocky mountains, too, the en-
gineers found pass far better than
it had been supposed existed.
4 In the rough country, particularly
near the Little Missouri river and in
Z Montana, the work has been heavy
large cuts and deep fills. But the de,
sired grade has been: secured. The
road is wide, free from sharp curves
and when the one foot of ballastins
has been completed, no road bed will
be better and few as good as the Mil
waukee's. Everything is constructed
along lines of permanency Heavy til.
ing pipe has been hauled overland
from Dickinson, Sentinel Butte and
Glen Ulin, distances of Is and 10t
miles.
In constructing the line the Mil
waukee has made it point to make
as many artificial ponds as possible
Experience has taught the Milwau
Zee peap1e that surface water is tn
best for engines. These reservoir
usually run back long distance from
the road and will prove very bene
fetal to farmers and ranchers.
1t was said when the Milwaukee
commenced grading in March or Ap
Til that the road would be comp1et
ed into Seattle within three years
and there is no reason now, t
doubt the accuracy of this statement
IF the November and early Decembe
weather is favorable, steel will b
laid as far west as Miles City befoI

THE AScENDENcY OF GOV. JOHN
SON.

Notwithstanding his statement that
he was by no means a candidate for
the presidential nomination on the
democratic ticket, it is apparent that
"a good many leading democrats
through the country are inclined to
look seriously upon Governor John
son of Minnesota as presidential
candidate. 1t is generally agreed
that Mr.. Bryan's candidacy would
result in nothing but further split
in the democratic ranks The conser-
yative east will never support Bryan
ard without the support of the big
eastern states he cannot hope to be
elected in any event. Governor John
son, It is pointed out, would harmon
ize the conflicting elements in the
party and give it a chance of sue
cess. There is little likelihood that
any democratic candidate for the
presidency win be chosen at the
next election. Prosperity under re-
publican rule has been general, and
the evils generally complained Of
have been set on the way to correc-
zion. IL President Roosevelt Is not
a candidate to succeed himself. the
next republican candidate will, no
doubt be some one pledged to the
Roosevelt policies and Ia an admin
astration Of conservatism, fairness
and sound methods. AT the same
time, The prominence into which Gov
ernor Johnson has come Is d matter
of northwestern interest and must
sofa irrespective OF party afiliations,
