of G. S. Alden, a mining man of repu-
tatiOn who has recently visisted the
old camp and has seen enough of its
richness to warrant him in max ing
that camp his home. He has aciuired
several mining properties there and
located some oil land that promises
to give eastern Nevada a goodly sup
ply of oil for all purposes. Mr.. AL
den and his wife and little son have
recently made the trip overland from
Hamilton to LoVelOck, visiting the

found it exceedingly quiet, except at
Seven Troughs, where there was a
slight stir as one mine had shipped
a load of ore that week, the first load
produced by the entire district.
Here in Hamilton the ore is laugh

location to San Francisco and had
thorough analysis made by the
best mineralogists in the state and
found our indications the very best

HUDSON is READY
TO RUN M'GILL

The News is in receipt of the fol-
lowing communication concerning
the Hudson -McGill race on Labor
day:
Editor White Pine News:
Dear sir: On behalf of James
Hudson, / wish you to. correct error

son declined to run for less thon

we are ready to oblige Mr.. McGill
with a match at any future date, for

AFTER JOHNSON'S SCALP

NEW YORK, Sept. Jack John
son is working hard at Atlantic City
for his battle with Sailor Burke at
Bridgeport on September -. The
sailor is working at Stratford, Conn.
and is reported in great shape. The
managers of the fighters are in high
glee over the advance sale of seats.
Sam Fitzpatrick, who looks out for
Johnson, evidently has no fear of the
result, for he is trying hard to get
Kaufman to come east and meet
Johnson before the National Athletic
club of Philadelphia. The Quaker
club is more than willing to give the
men a date within the next few
weeks. Kaufman has not yet given
final answer. The matter is up TO
Billy Delaney, who looks out for
Kaufman's interests.

WILL FIGHT TO
THE BITTER END

SALT LAKE, Sept. q
The fight for the destruction
of Salt Lakes food combines
is on in earnest.
Today the members of the
Salt Lake Real Estate associ-
alton will enter actively on
the work of securing $4,000
with which to conduct Il thor
ough and searching investiga-
ton into the causes of excess
sively high living in Salt Lake
and to bring to the bar of jus
tice the men and associations
responsible therefor.
With a little more than a
week s work conditions have
been brought to light relative
to the cost of living here and
the arbitrary maintenance of
food prices that are disgrace
full and unquestionably lille
gai.
Not in years has Salt Lake
been wrought up to such
pitch of Indignation and ang-
er as during the past ten days
and the coming week prom
ises to bring no cessation of
the feeling that has been
aroused against the men who,
controlling the supply of food
prod ducts of this city, have
ruthlessly robbed consumers
until the breaking point was
reached and have since busted
themselves passing the blame
for conditions from one to an
other of themselves in an eff
fort to divert public criticism.

Labor and the Primal CURSE.

Labor and the Primal CursD.
One important service to the people
sf the country by the presidents mes
sage on the canal situation is the clear
ing up Of the mystery about labor at
the great ditch, Heretofore clear un-
derstanding of the matter has been i'm
possible owing to conflicting state
ments put forth by seemingly trust
worthy witnesses. 1t turns out that
It is possible for northern men to work
on the isthmus, and yet the canal COM
mission is hard pushed to get laborers
on the job. West India negroes are
good when they can be obtained, but
the governors Of the English posses
sions discourage labor from leaving the
islands for Panama. Spaniards and
Italians are good for the work, but
cannot be had in efficient numbers. In
a nutshell there is q vast enterprise to
be put through by the sweat Of the
brow, and the earth must be raked to
find men who are under the curse and
want bread bad enough to face isola-
ton and hardship to get 1t.
Surely ditch digging is not the despic-
able and accused thing mankind has
long considered it when progress es-
sential to the race must halt because
want is nowhere desperate enough to
drive men to the spade. The canal is
only a striking instance OF what ts
becoming evident in all departments
Of rough work-there Is more work
than workers. Toilers name their own
price, and yet the ranks are untitled.
1t looks as though the classes which
think they have risen above such things
must view labor in a different light
and consider it's Importance, not Its
meanness. The rule never to do what
you can hire done Of course falls down
when nobody can be hired. Labor is
not only honorable; it is noble In view
of it's results. Money and goods and
lands do not give perfect independence
There must be labor back Of them ALL
The farm boss, the store boss and the
shop boss, with hand and muscle train
ed to do his own work If necessary, Is
the only real Independent. The canal
shows that there is such thing as be-
ing "work-poor," and labor Is the sole
agent that can lift that poverty.

Government aud Private Enterprise.
As usual, the postofice department
reports deficit, and the public is busy
guessing where the retrenchment az
will fall. 1t is plain that somebody
must pay more for postal facilities than
heretofore or the gap between receipts
and disbursements will continue to
turn up each year. The proposal to in
crease rates of postage on second class
matter is met with the argument that
periodicals stimulate letter writing and
are feeders for the postal matter pay
ing first class rates.
A novelty of the situation is the pro-
posal Of a private party to take over
the entire postal service and run 1t as
a private enterprise. As figured out In
detail the scheme is based on the
theory that the government handling
of the postal business il wasteful, the
department extravagant and graft
eaten. Just at this time when 1t IL
seriously proposed to increase the &C.
tvities of the general government 1t 10
a matter Of moment to have the bust
ness ability Of this important depart
ment Of public service challenged with
the assertion that 1t could be run at
one-half the present cost to the people
for postage. The farming out Of priv
ileges in order to secure improvement

be thought Of until after other methods
have failed.

Fort Fishers Anniversary.

Fort Fishers anniversary. Jan. Is.
may well be made the occasion of re-
union of the blue and the gray sur
vivOrs of the commands which partici-
pated. The battle was notable one
in many ways, and had it occurred at
an earlier period in the war 1t would be
more conspicuous in the pages of his
tory. When the post fell all eyes were
centered upon the fate of Petersburg
and Richmond, where Grant and Lee
contended for the mastery from June.
1864, to April, 1865. In a strategic
sense Fort Fisher was an outpost of
the Confederate line on James river
1t guarded the principal channel for the
entry of foreign supplies to the Con-
federacy and also offered protection to
Lees route Of communication with the
south Atlantic coast The Federal at
tack was desperate in the extreme and
the Confederate defense most heroic.
The principal leader of the Confed-
crate forces in the battle at Fort Fish
er, Colonel Lamb, is still living. Sew
eral Of the Federal generals survive.
notably General A. A. Ames, leader Of
a division; General N. M. Curtis. who
led the brigade which first forced the
palisades, and General Galusha Penny
packer. The naval bombardment Of
the fort was one Of the fiercest on rec
ord. The fortress was constructed Of
sand and logs and proved SO formida-
bic against ships fire that the plan was
adopted as a model for students In
military engineering. One Of the thrill
ing incidents of the battle was the
charge of a Federal naval brigade
along the sand beach up to the walls
Of the fort. Admiral Robley D. Evans,
then a subordinate officer, was partic-
ipant in this column. Many of the sol
diers in the garrison were North Car
oinians, and it is significant of tie
growing spirit of amity among old foes
that the public men of the state have
been foremost in inviting combatants
Of 1865 to fraternal handshake on
the ruins Of this famous stronghold Of
the Confederacy.

London went crazy with delight snd
pride when Mafeking was relieved and
again when Pretoria was captured, but
history does not record any riotous
demonstrations Of enthusiasm when
the last stone was laid on the great
Nile dam at Assuan. Yet that is a
thing in which Englishmen have a
right to take more pride than in a
dozen victories in the field.
For the 1000 years since extant
Egyptian history began, and for no
body knows how many thousand years
before, Egypt has been the thread Of
green fortified by the foundations of
the Nile. That little strip produced the
wealth that built the pyramids and
bred the armies that wrought the con-
quests of Rameses. Now Rameses is
outdone by the British engineers. They
are not merely conquerors. but crea-
tors. They are bringing into existence
a new Egypt where there has been
only desert. They have been building
at one end of Africa while the SOL
diers and politicians have been de-
stroying at the other.
There ought to be feathers and gold
lace for services such as this. Then
perhaps people would appreciate them
If the designer Of the great dam were
made Field Marshal Lord Assuan he
might get a reception like Kitchener's
when he went home. Herbert Spencer
used to write a good deal about the
evolution Of society from the militant
to the industrial stage. Evidently we
have some distance to go yet before
that evolution is complete. When it is.
the audiences at London music halls
will demand the biograph portraits of
the builders of the Nile dam instead of
those Of Roberts and Kitchener. and in
this country the popular heroes will be
the engineers Of the Panama canal and
the western irrigation system instead
Of Dewey, Schley and Miles.

A Secession Among Photo Artists.

A Secession Among Photo Artists.
America is to get credit for whatever
glory accrues to the camera from the
new departure in the methods of pho
Biography, which has been named
photo secession. The camera has done
wonders as revOlutioniZer of picture
making. Man can but marvel at the
new triumphs brought before the eye
every day in the newspaper press, in
magazines and in books not primarily
intended to be works Of art. The photo
secessionists go q step beyond the &C.
copied province of photography and
appear to make good their thesis that
the camera can produce high art
New York now has a salon where
photographs receive the serious cOnsid-
GRAFTON that has hitherto been accorded
to paintings only. And this American
work-for the photos exhibited are pro-
duced in this country by native talent
represents the high water mark Of
movement now established in most
European capitals. 1t is claimed for
this new school Of photography that the
picture produced conveys feeling or
suggestion from the artist to the pub
lic," whereas the ordinary photograph,
however finely executed, is limited to a
strict presentation Of facts. These new
photographers make the camera ex-
press as well as record. Some we'll
known painters have been criticised
for paying attention to Photographic
detail to the exclusion of Imagination
In their work. Here we are offered
Photographic fidelity to nature transfig-
ured by the artists dream into thing
Of beauty, imagination and reverence.
This view places the camera on the
same plane with the chisel of the sculp-
tor and the brush of the artist. And
after all the surprises the camera has
given us within the memory of gen.
Grafton we may well pay serious at
tention to this new demonstration Of
power.

Robert Edward Lee.

While many of the prominent officers
Of the civil war armies are yet con-
spicuous actors in the affairs of civil
life, the people of the south are asked
to commemorate the centenary of the
birth of Robert Edward Lee, who was
born Jan. 10, 1907. Jefferson Davis
was born the same year and Abraham
Lincoln in 1909. These three history
making Americans had reached middle
life when they began to write their
names in the sands of time. Lee al
ways had younger men for antagonists.
He was fifty-four when he took up the

he yielded the sword at AppomattOx.

Washington has been In bis grave

But the worlds estimate Of this dis
tinguished soldier has varied little
since he bore the fortunes Of the Con-
federacy upon the bayonets Of his
ever dwindling battalions. 1t was not
so much what he did as the fact that
he did anything at all with the re-
sources at his command that could give
him rank with the foremost generals
