OF WEALTH

TACOMA, WASH, Jan. 23.-(Spe-
ciaD -Fabulously wealthy for two
hours and then back to the mediocre

pector was the fate of John T. Davis

from 20 to 80 per cent, lead. mag
lining that they had discovered one
of the richest mines ever uncovered
in the Cascades, they staked out
claims, only to find after careful in
vestigation that the stone was simply
lying on the top of the ground and
with no apparent ledge to be found
While crossing a little glade or
parklike opening on the side of q
foothill they found on immense ledge
like stone, so feet long by Is or 20
feet high. This they found to be
very rich in silver and lead, and after
careful tests decided that it would
yield at least $40 of these two ores
to the ton At first they supposed the
stone was merely an outcropping of a
ledge below, but after careful work
with the pick and shovel all around
it, to their establishment and chagrin
they found it was merely lying or
the top of the ground.

POSTAL SAVINGS
IN PHILIPPINES,
Statistics of Cost of o.
CuOying Islands.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. %
(SpeciaD -The Postal Savings Bank
in the Philippines has not been very
we'll patronized by the natives as
yet, according to the annual report
of the Chief of the Bureau of Insular
Affairs made public today Failure
of the natives to deposit is
due to the fact that the
savings stamps, the use of which are
expected to encourage native deposit
tors were not received in the islands
until months after the banks were
established.
The Postal Savings Bank in Manila
began operations on October l, 1906,
and on June 80, 1907, there were 235
Offices open in different parts of the
islands. Since that time the number
of accounts has reached 1876, of which
60.4 per cent were American deposit
tors and 1873 per cent natives The
resources of the 235 offices now is
about $255,000. The depositors are
paid 2 IL per cent. interest while
the funds have been reinvested at IL
per cent.
1t is also shown by the report that
Cuban Intervention cost the United
States $3,376,735 and the Republic
of Cuba 1887 16. The occupation by
United States troops lasted from
October 1, 1906 until June 80, 1907

FORESTRY IDEAL
FLOOD REMEDY

The ideal remedy for floods, ac-
cording to the engineers of the Geo
logical Survey, lies in the creation
of conditions on the surface of the
ground that will prevent the rapid
passage Of rain or the water formed
by the melting of snow or ice to
the channels of the streams; that is,
the earth's surface must be kept in
a porous condition, so that the water
will be absorbed and held as by a
sponge and allowed to pass slowly
into the streams. Throughout the
eastern and by far the greater part
of the western uplands this porous
condition is maintained by natural
processes. Wherever it is lacking in
this part Of the country the fault
may be laid at the door of mankind.
Vegetation is the great agent that
produces porosity of soil and the
most effective form of vegetation for
the retardment of surface flow is
forest cover The earth is kept in
a loose condition by the roots of
trees, shrubs, and other plants, and
the mat of fallen leaves and twigs and
bark that litter the ground is even
more absorbent than the soil itself.
The surface is also protected from
the direct rays of the sun by the
foliage on the trees, which prevent
the hardening or toughening Of the
ground that takes place in soils that
are barred to the sun Forestation,
therefore, is the prime requisite for
the prevention of the needless waste
caused by the floods.

JUDGE NOT SO STRICT
IN CONSTITUTING LAW
Relating to the Locker
Clubs.

Anent the locker club agitation,
which interests Americas as it does
the state at large, it is said that
Judge w. T. Newman of the United
States court viii not put so strict a
contraction on the state prohibition
law with reference to locker clubs
as has been intimated by Judge
Emory Speer in discussing the matter
Judge Newman has always held it
is pointed out, that before any person
can be convicted of selling liquor in
violation of the internal revenue laws,
it must be shown that the offense
must amount reasonable and fairly
to a business. On one occasion he
held that the selling of a bottle of
whiskey by one neighbor to another
merely as an accommodation was not
included in the law, and other officials
in the service of the government are
not inclined to believe that a mem
Der of club with private locker
could be construed to be dealer
unless he went into the business of
selling the contents of his locker.

FRESHMEN BROKE
UP GLEE CLUB SHOW
Fire Marshal Ordered Curtain Down.

NEW HAVEN, CONN, Jan: %
(SpeciaD White mice in bonbOn box
es, and thousands of yards of paper
streamers caused the untimely I'm
ish of the annual Yale Glee Club
concert last night.
Fire Marshal Baldwin stopped the
concert, ordering the curtain rung
down because, in his opinion, the
theatre was made unsafe by the de-
mOnStration.
Clouds of paper streamers, thrown
from the top gallery, in which the
freshmen sat, covered the persons
in the pit, and the Marshal believed
that spark might ignite the paper
and set the whole house into blaze.
The Marshal notified the audience
that if the shower of inhammable ma
terial did not stop the curtain must
be rung down.
The deluge of paper became worse
than ever, and the concert was bro
ken up by the MarshaIs order to
ring down the curtain
Disorder marked the program from
start to finish. The freshmen began
by lowering what appeared to be
dainty paper boxes of chocolates t.
the girls. The girls jumped to their
feet and tried to seize the bonbons,
breaking the box from which white
mice Ieaped out The mice fell into
the clothing of the young women.
who screamed with embarrassment.
Then the Freshmen let down al
large brown hen into the midst of the
Prom" guests. She was speedily
rushed outdoors by the ushers. Later
the Freshmen tried letting down emp
ty beer and whiskey bottles in front
of the faces of the members of the
glee club when they were trying tc
sing.

HUMAN LIFE CHEAP.

Readers of the daily papers cannot
help being impressed by the growing
disregard for human life as evidenced
by those outside the criminal class,
Almost any day the papers contain ac-
counts of the killing of girls by their
disappointed sweethearts. or vice
versa.
Yesterdays papers contained the
story of the shooting of a newspaper
advertising solicitor in a big New
York dry goods store the woman then
turning the weapon upon herself and
ending her own life. Within the past
two months instance after instance has
been recorded in which the man OF
woman has made a double tragedy.
What might be called a wave OF
double homicidal mania is sweeping
over the country, just as the suicide
germ held sway a few months before
The germ seems to find Judgment in
the atmosphere, and one case brings
on another, consciously, by seeing
accounts in the papers, or uncon-
sciously by some kind of mental tele-
pathy
1t is more than probable that the
seeming decadence of the religious
spirit among young people prepares
the way for the recurrence of the
suicidal wave. In the olden days, the
fear of future punishment served to
counterfeit these germs" if any were
floating around, but the modern care
lessness on the question of the fu-
ture state has broken down these
barriers of protection.
Judging by the frequency of the
tragedies; it is getting positively dan
gerous in some walks of life for the
girl to reject a desperate suitor
Though it must be said among the
foreigners teh death rate is great
est.
While for those who do the double
tragedy act there is no way of provid-
ing punishment by human law, nc
mercy should be shown the murderer
who does not complete the work by
his or her own destruction Murder
is becoming too free a matter alto
gether, due largely to the disinclina
ton of the juries to infiict the dealt
penalty, or even to convict at all il
some instances.
When the murderer realizes tina
the punishment is swift and sure, h
will think twice before killing hi
fellow Its about time for the civil
awakening to reach the courts an,
juries and insist on "a life for
life" based solely on society's pro
lection.

INJUSTICE NOT ALLOWED

In it's fight against a reduction of
passenger rates to 2 cents, the
Pennsylvania railroad has won its
case before the Supreme Court of
that state, the law being declared un-
constitutional. A clause in the state
constitution prohibits interference
with corporations by the Legislature
when sue action constitutes in
justice to stockholders, and upon
this ground the decision was reach
ed.
In Pennsylvania, therefore, it is
not necessary for the rates to be-
come "confscatory" before the courts
will step in front of the legislature
or the railroad commission, but if
it appears that injustice" is being
done, the halt must be called.
With such a clause in the consti-
buttons of some of the Southern
states, the anti-railroad campaigns
would have been headed off before
such widespread injury resulted. The
railroads have made out a strong case
of confscation in their pIeadings. In
justice to stockholders has not been
even considered by the ''reformers. "
And the worst part of it is that
those who carried the banner" in the
last election under the delusion that
the consumer would benefit, have
been made to suffer without a cents
gain by reductions in the cost of
freight A few cents in railroad trav-
ell is the limit for the individual so
far.

he would have achieved this SO
