from which one cubic foot of water a
second flowed several months ago,
was plugged up by some person, who
dropped an iron plug to the depth of
700 feet, where 1t lodged. The plug
was removed and the flow OF water re-
sumed. A second well was drilled to
the Dakota sandstone. under which the
artesian water is nearly always found.

ranch will be sunk to supply water for

died out. he said:

He was interrupted by tremendous
cheer. followed by cries of Good, Bill,

he went on:

He hesitated moment, as he looked
over the heads Of the people. then con-
tinued:

If 'twere possible. the cheer that fol-
lowed this self-forgetful remark was
even greater than the one that came
after his opening words.
Il am glad to get back among my
friends" Haywood continues. "A year
ago. when was kidnapped. some of my
friends told me I would never leave
Idaho alive. But am here and did not
come back in box, as they told me l
would"
More shouts, and cries of You're

Kisses for Mcfarland.

Kisses and groans cut hom short.
Finally there was silence again, and
Haywood. laughing, said: 81 antici-

'Unionism Is stronger today than It
ever was,'' he continued. bringing
down his right arm to his knee. Ap-
plause followed. "It has been growing
by leaps and bounds within the last

The crowd closed in, and for nearly
an hour he shook hands with men,
women and children. Some of the
women carried their babies on their
shoulders, and Haywood stopped down
and kissed the little ones, at the same
time saying word of greeting and
kindness to all.
Haywood Worn Out.
The mass became so great and Hay
wood became so tired and worn out
that he begged the house detective, M.
d. Flynn. to stop the crowd. He was
completely exhausted and his hand
fas SO stiff that he couldn't make an
other grasp. The crowd took it in good
spirit, because they knew that he was
all in.
Flynn cleared the entrance and Hay
wood went to his room. He was fol-
lowed by nearly 500 people, but the po-
lice broke in and made them get out
of the hotel.
In his room Haywood received some
OF his personal friends.

ALAsKA FOREST RESERVES.

Under the above caption the Seattle
 Post-Intelligeneer credits Governor Hoggatt with having secured liberal qualifications in the rules and regu- lations relating to forest reserves in Alaska. which it thinks will leave no just cause of complaint. "Red-tape methods, say the P.-I., against which there had been much complaint, have been wiped out of existence as the result of representations Gov. Hoggatt made to Chief Forester Pin cho,. Less restraint win hereafter be put upon mining operations in the territory. Rules that hindered and hampered these operations have been abolished, or so modified as to very much alter the situation. Un- necessary and harsh regulations affect ing townsites. right of way and the building of homes win no longer stand in the way of those who desire to aid in the development of Alaska. This is as it should be. The for estry ser vice. after careful inquiry into the matter. concluded that many of the rules could be modified in such way as to greatly advantage the terri tory. and consequently the changes were made. There are many hard conditions to overcome in certain parts of Alaska, and the forestry service reached wise and just con- clusions when it decided not to aggrayate these difficulties by impos- ing unnecessary and onerous regulat- ions on those seeking to found homes and build industries in the terri tory The Post-Inelligencer may be right. and The Miner, sincerely hopes it is. but it must be said that the changes for the better which il enumerates have not yet materialized to any appreciable extent.

WHICH !.

IL has been said. and truthfuily too, that a poor excuse is worse than none, and that the truth half told is equiva- lent to an open falsehood. In the Juneau Record Miner of recent date appears an article severely censuring some unknown local press reporter in these words:
 Some imaginative individual has been wiring messages to the outside world from Juneau purporting to be the conditions prevailing at Douglas Island in the existing controversy between the company and the miners.
 The san Francisco Examiner of \ pril 1st and 2nd contains on its first page an account of riot and murder, necessitating the intervention of the L. :. troops \ more dastardly libel on the management and miners of TreadRell would be hard to conceive the only truth embodied in the dis patch is that disagreement exists between the management and em- ! ployees over the company's boarding housle and that the troops are on the ground
 The presence of the soldiers is not to suppress riot or disorder-as no such occasion exists. Their presence was considered advisable by the [. 5. Marshal as a precautionary measure against fire of the company's prop erty. which is scattered over large extent Of territory, and not to in- timidate miners individually or collectively. The miners themselves rendered their services for such pur- poses, as their suspension of work made t impossible for the company to police the property but the marshal thought-and justly-that a power disinterested in the contention should assume police patrol, and as the troops are in \ laska for just such purposes, they were called into service.
 The management and the miners have no serious conflict, nor ever had wages nor hours cut no figure in the misunderstanding. and the boarding house issue could have been amicably adjusted without any outside inter- vention were it not for few fires ponsible agitators.
 Now. if. il may not be amiss to ask-if there was only a slight dis agreement between the management
 and employees over a matter of slight importance, that the striking miners themselves had rendered their ser- vices for the protection of the com pany's property against loss by fire, that there was no riot or disorder whence the necessity for calling out the military? The Miner respectfully suggests to it's Juneau contemporary that it's explanation is not only un- explanatory, but wholly contradictory. lts attempted explanation is signif- cant only as indicating the uses to which the military forces in Alaska may be put on the slightest cause or proyocation.

The Woman's National Daily thinks that if the ruling sovereign of Japan
 has sense of humor such as ruling soyereigns ought 10 have. he will enjoy the treat of hearty laugh il he ever learns ot the recent action taken by the British government out of compliment to him and his great representative. IL seems that John Bull is getting ready 10 entertain Prince Fushima and the Japanese naval squadron. One of the first steps in the matter of this prepara- ton was the issuance of official orders that there should be no performance of the comic opera. The Mikado. any place in England. nor should any Of the military bands play any selections from the tuneful little operegta during the visit of the prince or during the stay of the fleet ID British waters. Great governments sometimes do some awtully small things. but this action will certainly appear 10 some people as the climax Of ponderoas puerility. Of course the idea is that the caricaturing. as Il might be considered, of the people and customs Of Japan might be offensive 10 the Japanese visitors. The chances are. if he could know anything about il. the Mikado him. self would like 70 have a seat in the front TOW al first class presentation of the Gilbert and Sullivan musical production. that he might get some notion of the ideas that prevailed way back yorder when the Englishmen wrote their opera of the kind Of country Japan was and the kind of people who lived there. It is quite rhe funniest thing that even John Bull has done for long while. this prohibiting Of the presentation of a little hodgepodge of fun and music on the mimic stage lest a great nation should take umbrage. This official action might well furnish the basis for new comic opera even better than '.The slikado."

Why do bad women cause nine tentbs Of the murders and suicides traceable to woman's influence, when good women are million times as well worth fighting for? Because good women appeal to the mind and the true affection Of a man, while bad ones arouse only his coarser passions of which jealousy is not the least ; because good women are true and attract rational men. while bad ones are false and draw about them those to whom violence is familiar idea.

After protracted period of dry weather, threatening forest fires and dearth of water for the operation of at least some of the mines and other industries, comes refreshing and grateful showers, under the influence of which vegetation is taking a for ward leap. and apparently making up for the time lost while spring finger ed in the lap of winter. Now, if we don't get too much moisture. and are vouchsafed an occasional clear day. with attendant sunshine, we will have little cause for complaint.

\ COMPARISON.

The 800 Times, a paper printed and published at the fourishing city of Sault Ste. Marie. Mich. in it's issue of April a0. has a reference to terri ,orial days in Michigan which would be instructive reading 10 the con- paratiyely few Alaskans who pretend 10 the belief that Alaska Is too sparsely settled for the successful administration of territorial form of government. l. tells of some Interesting documents of the days when Michigan was territory and Chippewa county lof which Suit Ste.

 The superficial area at that time embraced in that county. was nearly, fl not quite, one hundred thousand square miles. and is now divided into not less than 50 counties, with a population of more than half q million people. At the time to which the Times alludes there were no means ot transportation other than by sailing vessels on the lakes in the summe. season, and dog sleds and SHOW shoes IL the winter-and to the greater part of the residents Of that part oi the territory-and indeed all parts oi Il. the means Of travel and communi- cation 10 and with the territorial capital. which was a.
