TRIP TO ALASKA.
Many People Taking an Interest
Twenty-three Writers Enlisted
For the Place.

Our announcement recently thai
| The Republican would send it's best
| writer on a vacation to Seattle and
Alaska in June and July, 1909, has
met with hearty response, and 23
writers have already responded tc
try for the honor and the treat.
We take five months to train the
writer's so they may all understand
the work, and then give them six
| months to do the real work, grading
their work on two schedules that
gives them all good working
| chance.
Each person who joins the class
receives lesson in the work every
time he or she sends In a news letter
and so far as the writer's have ex-
pressed themselves, 1t is considered
interesting and profitable to the
writer's, and the solid columns of
news from various localities shows
the added value 1t gives to the paper
itself. The editor finds the work in
teresting, even fascinating, and all
express satisfaction In the fact that
they are factors in the first thing of
the kind ever tried in the northwest.
The plan was borrowed from nobody,
was worked out to suit conditions
here in Idaho, and bids fair to be a
most interesting and successful ex-
pertinent In newspaper work.
Applications are still coming in for
membership in the class, and many
of those who have written us that
they consider 1t a novel and practical
way of learning some of the things
they missed in school, without hav-
ing It interfere with their work or
cost them any money. 1t costs the
writer nothing but the postage
stamp. and anyone wishing to join
the class and enter the contest can
do so by writing The Republican for
lesson one. school of journalism, and
material will be mailed at once The
contest commenced last week. and
those who join later, simply lose that
much on the first grading.
A member of the legislature was
invited to address the High school
at Idaho Falls recently, and when he
asked them which they preferred
some good advice, or a description of
trip up the Alaskan coast by
steamer, they voted to have the
steamer trip.
He touched many things of inter
est up the coast, and they listened so
attentively he went into details and
did not get back-the forty-flve min
utes allowed for the address being
consumed so quickly he had to cut
the return trip off and leave them in
the land Of long summer davs and
cool enchanting twilight, broadeneine
bothways from the turn Of the night.
Our writer who eoes that way in
the summer of 1909 should be one
who can absorb the great and The
small things Of such trip, and pour
II from the tin OF q nen so we can all
see It without taking the iournev,
for most Of us will be too busv and
to moor TO take the trim except as
we take 1t from the printed page.

Idaho Men
in Arizona.
Have Developed Some Rich Min
ing Property.
Will Erect a Mill.

]. T. Carruth and B. s. Rupp have
Just returned from Salt Lake where
they attended meeting Of the board
of directors of the Utah-Arizona Gold
and Copper Mining Co.
The property of this compeny is
located in the Northwestern part of
the territory of Arizona and was
purchased last summer by Idaho and
Utah people after thorough investi-
cation of the property had been made
by the best mining experts that could
be secured. The property now own
ed by the company consists of 54
claims right in the heart of the rich
est gold mining camps Of the Weaver
district. Work is being vigorously
prosecuted on several of the most
promising claims of the group. On
the Lucille, Blue Jay, and Golden
Gate, tunnels are being run, and
high grade ore Is being extracted
every day On the Lucille claim there
is vein of from five to seven feet
which averages better than $4,000
per ton in gold and about per cent
copper.
Manager Burton, who has just re-
turned from the mines reported that
he secured for the company 480 acres
of land in the Sacramento valley,
about five miles to the east Of the
mines and that he had several men to
work sinking well on this property
and expects to get water at a depth
of from 60 to rs feet. This property
I is about half way between Chloride
and the White Hills mines and will
be very valuable for watering sta
tion as 1t will be the only water be-
tween these two camps.
At the meeting on Saturday last
Mr.. Burton was authorized to pro-
coed at once with the erection of a
ten stamp mill Is hundreds of tons
of ore have been taken out and 1t Is
ready for milling at the present time.
Sufficient water has been secured to
operate mill of this size and as
more water Is developed the capacity
of the mill can be increased
The splendid condition of the COM
pany financially at the present time
is indeed commendable and justifies
the erection of mill and other i'm
provements without delay. The.
large bodies of high grade ore which
are being opened up has caused con-
siderable excitement in that district
and 1t Is anticipated that there will
be great rush into those fields dur
ing the present summer The stock
is being readily sold on the markets
of Utah as well as in Idaho and they
eXepct that the stock will double In
value during the next three or four
months. The company has a large
treasury reserve and only a limited
amount Of this stock is now upon the
market. They say there will be no
necessity of selling treasury stock
after the mill is completed as the
property will be self sustaining as
soon as the smelling of ores is COM
menced
Those from Idaho who attended
the meeting in addition to Messrs.
Carruth and Rupp were James e.
! Steele and Isaac Goodmansen of Iona
and John F. Shelley of Shelley, all
| of whom are heavy stockholders.

SECRETARY TAFT \
SQUARE DEAL


In his Freeman Of last week, "Un-
Gle Tom Fortune expresses a change
Of opinion regarding Secretary Of
War Taft, and took occasion to hand
lemon to those bishops of the
Methodist council who uttered some
pronounced views on the political sit
uat;on" at Washington not long
since
Having absolved Mr.. Taft from all
responsibility for the discharge of
the Negro troops, and recanted the
statement that he should have re-
signed rather than sustain the or
der, the Freeman says:
I'VE might as we'll look the politi-
cal situation and the Brownsville
business squarely in the month. Sec
rotary Taft stands a good chance to
be the republican nominee for presi-
dent If he should be will the good
bishops vote for the democratic
nominee No! Secretary Taft is
one Of the strongest republicans In
the country. His record on the bench,
in the Philippine Islands and as sec
rotary of war places him in the front
rank of American statesmen. When
1T is assumed that he is an enemy or
the Afro-American very great inius-
tice is done him. AS goVernor-gen-
eral of the Philippine Islands he
measured out eVen-handed justice to
Filipinos, to Afro-Americans, whom
he consistently befriended, as the
writer knows, and to other sorts OF
Americans who were not in Apposi-
ton to Governor Taft and friendly
to Vice-Governor Luke E. Wright, a
Tennessee democrat, whom the fu-
ries ran out Of the islands after
President Roosevelt had made him
governor in succession to Governor
Taft Where is Luke F.. Wright
now?
I'VE are not going to line up with
the clamor against Secretary Taft.
He is a strong man, with a clean rec
ord, and we are going to give him a
square deal in Fortunes Freeman.
If he gets the nomination we are go
ing to support him"
Now hold your ear to the ground
for the sound of the anvil chorus of
rabid Forakerites. What they will
DO to the Freeman will be plenty,
but it's editor, fortunately, knows
how to take care Of himself, and is
doubtless prepared to defend his sud
den change Of front.
The advocate. [volume] (Charleston, W. Va.) 1901-1913, 1908-03-05

ardized by distractions among the
defeated candidates.
On the other hand, the thinking
portion Of the race views with alarm
the too frequent tendency Of some
to further their personal ambitions
at the risk Of party disruption and
consequent defeat. AS has been said
often before, the Negro has and viii
support the nominees, whoever they
may be, believing, as they do, that
the worst republican excepting the
gentleman from Mingo-- is more ia
vorable to them as a whole than the
best democrat. The loss Of the state
means nothing to the white republi-
can Office holder more than retire
mcnt from Office. To the Negro 1t
means disfranchisement and jim
Crowism: To him is not permitted
that freedom Of choice. except in mu-
nicipal elections, which should &C
company the possession Of the bal
lot, for there is ever before him the
shadow Of the twin specters.
The Advocate voices the wish of
al. good party men in expressing the
hope that, however spirited the con-
test for delegates to the state con-
vtntion may be, the losers will take
their medicine like men, for there is
no place in the cast of characters for
Achilles.

John Moulton, the present efficient
clerk of the county court of Kama
wha county, will submit his claims
for the nomination to succeed him
self to the republican primaries to
be held on May 18th. Mr.. Moulton's
administration of the ONCE has been
such as to call forth the commenda-
ton not only of his political friends,
but of mis- opponents as we'll, and it
is but justice to him to state that
the affairs Of his Office were never
kept in better shape than they have
been during his administration, and
never have those having business to
transact with that department met
with more courteous treatment or eff
ficient service.
