TIES FROM FOREIGN CLIMES.
Railroad Looks Far Ahead For Its Fu-
ture Supply.

"When an American railroad com
pany looks so far ahead and so far
away as to provide for its future sup
ply of cross ties from forests in lands
across the sea and at the ends of the
earth.' said lumber operator to a
representative of the Washington Star,
"the seriousness Of the railroad tie
problem may be imagined. This is
what the Atchison, Topeka and Santa
Fe is doing.
"Some time ago this company sent
e. O. Faulkner. the head of its tie and
timber department, to investigate the
statements that had been made about
timber growing on the Hawaiian Is
lands known as ohia wood and which
is being cut away rapidly to clear up
land for sugar plantations.
"Fhe wood was found by him to an
swer so well all the requirements of a
good and lasting tie that he signed a
contract with a Hawaiian lumber com
pany for the cutting and delivery at
San Francisco of 100000 ohia wood
ties year for five years, besides SOC
sets of switch ties for each year for
the same period.
"Mr. Faulkner went also to Japan,
where he made arrangements to pro,

LAKE OF GOLD.
Prospeetor Returns From Alaska With
Marvellous Tale

J. G. Hosler, who recently returned
to Seattle. Wash. from Alaska with
weird tale about lake of gold, says
he has discovered the lake and as
proof brought with him pouch Of
nuggets worth over $4,000. says a
Seattle special dispatch to the Chicago
Inter Ocean.
Iosler went to the assay Office and
asked whether it could pay on gold as
well as at mint. He said that three
months ago he met an Indian north
of Bellingham who had shot his squaw
after she had beaten him and was in
hiding. The Indian became sick and
Hoser cared for him. Out Of graft
tude the Indian showed him lake
where there were countless nuggets.
The Indians. he sa,~. worship the
nuggets and drop them back into the
lake. One night. he said, he slipped
into the cold water of the lake. being
careful to avoid the superstitious In
dians. and IN few hours collected
the nuggets he brought back with
him. He says the Indians call the
body of water the Lake of Gold

From the crash Of exposures con
corning Foraker Haskell and som"
otners, one man energies without Il
stain. This is William II. Taft
Mr.. Taft gains in the opinions and
the affections of all fair minded men.
He is shown to be absolutely free from
even suspicion of connection with
the trusts. More than a year ago,
When he was candidate for the
nomination and needed delegates. eS-
pccially the support Of his own state of
Ohiu, he spunnel with contempt any
suggestion of an alliance between his
forces and those of senator Foraker
under an agreement which should give
him the delegates ana return Foraker
to the Senate. Foraker was one of
the most important opponents Of
Roosevelt ana his policies. Tart was
sincere in his approval of them.
The man who would not make n
political deal Whereby Il rcartionary
might have clear track, even al
though it meant very much to himself
is not the one to be east lightly aside
for William J. Bryan. Compare the
two candidates, and what Go you find ?

IF Mr.. Bryan did not know the char
actor of Mr.. Haskell before naming
him to collect Democratic funds, then
he was singularly ignorant. Hundreds
who have had dealings with Haskell
as "promoter" and distributor of
railroad securities. which subsequently
proved practically worthless, have good
cause to remember him to their sorrow.
Yet this man with the dubious finan-
cial record is deliberately placed in
control of the Committee on Resolu-
tons at the Denver Convention. is
made treasurer of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee. and is relied upon hT
Mr.. Bryan to aid essentially in the

What is it that Mr. Haskell hopes to
get ont of a Bryan victory. presuming

boast in vain when he files Il claim
upon the Secretaryship of the Treas

close associates did not know at that

felt that Haskell, from his connection
