Wise Red Men.

Duluth News-Tribuna.
 William Hanley, A well-known Du- luth cruiser and timberman, tells good story of Indians and the impor- tance of personal publicity toea red skin. Haniey was in charge of big drive on the St. Croix River. and in the vicinity of ,Taylor's Falls DIE siam occurred. Among the drivers were half a dozen Indians. They were good men on the river and held up their end with the white men. One day while inspecting the jam Henley passed the six Indians. In a splrit of good nature he hailed the Indians and said:
 "Break that jam, boys, and I'll put your names in the paper.
 ."Ugh" responded one after pause "six Indians dead in paper, but, we no see it."

pr. Shirley Bragg.

For the second time within a week this city and State mourns the death of a man who performed valuable public service. The death of Dr. Shir- icy Bragg. In Montgomery. is deplored here equally as much as in his home city for he spent much of his young CT life in Mobile and received part of his education here being the son of former citizen. The people of Mobile also recognize that Dr. Bragg. as physician Inspector of copvicts and as State convict inspector. did moro than any other State official to ameliorate the conditions under which convicts suffered before his system of inspec- tion was adopted. The fact that three administrations retained Dr. Bragg in the service of the State, illustrates the confidence that was reposed in him and appreciation of his services in obtain ing prison reform. He was best known In this capacity and leaves monu- ment to his work In the humane tm- provements he obtained. That such life has been lost to the State. ap- parently in the prime of public use f,tlness. must occasion widespread re- gret.

 reference to the bctterment of the public highways of the State. Do our people want better public roads or do they prefer a continuation of the roads we have at present? That IS the question. If they want better roads fhev should vote for the amendment If they don't let them vote against IL Under tho amendment appropriate laws may be enacted applying the net proceeds from tho convict fund to road purposes. Wo believe this is a good Idea.
 The other amendment Is one provid- ing for the formation of new counties in tho State under certain conditions. In some portions of the State condt- tions are such that the people feel that they should have q new county. IT they are willing to pay the cost and take the responsibility upon them selves under the conditions prescribed by the amendment we see no reason why they should not be allowed to da so. Therefore. in justice to them adopted.
 The amendments referred to have been published in The Register. and no doubt all our readers are famlliar with them. Therefore more extended comment is not necessary at this time.

Its Purpose Served.

Birmingham News.
 Mayor George B. Ward has discarded his green hat. He says there are too many people wearing them to please him. and anyway the headgear Is somewhat too frazsled for further service Tho mayor Is modest on the subject, but friends point out that he was the first man with nerve enough to wear one of the Swiss-Irish ef- fleets on the streets of Birmingham They recall with pleasure the sensation Mir. Ward created when, he returned from his trip 10 dear old Lunnon disporting to popular gaze this latest masculine millinery They say events prove that the mayor was only lead ing public opinion and with characteristic patriotism he was willing to blaze the trail that so many would follow. The green has served it's purpose well and has been retired from active service on half pay.

How Castro Feels

odluEodN IAeEieW-
 Yet 1t is not so long since the Unit ed States itself had difficulties with Vanezuela. Apropos. a story is told which must be taken for what 1t is worth It Is said that an American diplomat, stationed at Caracas report ed to his Government that his prede- cessor tn office had committed Rria- vons faults, had received bribes from claimants against Venezuela. and generally proved himself scamp. In Washington the report came immedi. ately under the notice of the .gentlo- man concerned, He in his turn retail ated with similar charges against his successor. When Castro heard of the affair he is said to have argued: MT. X. who now represents the United States, alleges that MT. Y. who used to represent them, alleges the same about Mir. x. As both gentlemen have held this high and responsible posi- tion. I must necessarily take 1t that they are both speaking the truth"

Aspen Mines Resume.

A Denver Republican special of
April LIST from Aspen says:
Manager Cohn announces that the
SmuSgler and Durant properties will
resume tomorrow with full force
This means the immediate employment
of at least 400. Manager Cohn, it is
said, has been untiring in his efforts
to get the stockholders to resume oper-
ations, having taken a trip TO Los An
geles to consult with David NJ. Hyman.
and last Monday he went to Denver to
consult with Charles j. Hughes, presi-
dent of the company. who gave orders
to open the property after April 1st
Aspen looks forward to good sum-
mer. as recent developments in the
Chicago company's property on Rich
mond hill shows that the contact is
continuous between Aspen and Ash
croft and that fully 500 men will be en-
ployed there by June 1st. These prop
critics have practically been closed
since early in December.
