THE GEOLOGICAL HORIZON

To determine the geological horizon of the ground always matter of the first importance in all intelligent mining operations, this especially of mining operations in Arizona where the original of sedmentary rocks. Fortunately there is trouble in determining the geological horizon of ground It is the horizon the Agonan schsts which there is much believe constituted the original home of all the important copper deposits North America-and nearly all the great iron deposits also.

PUBLIC CONSCIENCE

Governor Charles F.. Hughes of New York published an article in recent number of one of the magazines in which he takes the ground that there never has been a time in the history of business life when the desire for a square deal" was as strong in the minds, of the whole people as at the present time. The belief, however, is prevalent that what is called grating is the chief occupation of most public officials. and that instead of growing better, we as a people have steadily become more corrupt in business and official life. This general belief may have arisen from the fact that more i, now known and said about corrup- ,iou in public life. There was a time in the history Of other peoples when only the ruling classes were recog- nized as possessing the right to a square deal. In the old world it was IINI N. NlNhluNt'I lblbS lhl N | ulNI NO borrow money from his wealthy sub iec,,, especially the Jews, and when it became due he would trump up some charge agaiu,. them and have them eX- pelled from his realm. That we have come to orecognize that all have rights has led to the outcry against public officials and strong combinations of capital that have ignored the just claims of the more helpless, and the demand that this unri hteous use of office and money shall be curbed.
 Unless we are willing to admit that the order of the universe is downward rather than upward we must believe in the power of the good to hold the winning hand. Could We have an ex- perimental know ledge of the history of the past as we have of the age in
 which we live we would probably see that the balance of good is largely in our favor.

No Tore Wooden Indians

From time immemorial the cigar store sign in the older portions of the country has been wooden Indian. This has been as much a matter Of course as the use of the striped pole as a sign for barber shop. Oklahoma, where the Indians have considerable vote and are an element to be consld- cred politically, has decided that the use of such signs is a libel upon the primitive Americans, and therefore the legislature of that state has passed a bill, prepared and introduced by one of the Indian members of that body, forbidding the further use of the wooden Indian sign.-P.-I.

LOST THEIR BEARINGS

An article appeared in the New York Herald recently touching upon the charges made that some powerful moneved interests are engaged in keeping railroad capital from binding roads in Alaska. In the article it k stated that Several attempts have been made by outside interests to tap the rich Panama district, both from Valdez and Kaualla. In each instance s rival road backed by an unseen hand ha, projected parallel road begin ning within few miles of the termi- nal. and subsequent events in connec- lion with the efforts Co float stocks and bonds and carry on construction work have led to the charge that somebody k trying to prevent railroad conStruc- tion in that part of the territory " After speaking of the White Pass railroad which is said to be in close

moderate prosperity. There is tend ency in the older states to ostracize a man who does not dress in the latest style and live in part of the city where rents are high. It is different in Alaska or in any new country where people have not yet become corrupted by false ideas of what constitutes the true worth of man. If people back in the older settlements in the east could live within their means and not be regarded as eccentric for so doing, there would he less occasion for the institutional church to devote its time to handing out free soup and anti suicide advice.

FEEDING HUNGRY MEN

An article appeared in a recent num- Der of the Times-Union of Albany, N. Y, descriptive of the work that the First Baptist church, under the charge of the pastor, Creighton R. Story, was doing for hungry men in that city dur ing the past winter. Sometimes nearly 300 men were fed in one morning.
 The church also runs an employment bureau, and the writer of the article states that when a man appears seek ing employment they first have him shaved by two or three barbers in order to make him look presentable to his prospective employer. They evi- dently think that if he gets job it will be a close shave.
 That there are so many men in the east depending upon charity is due not only to the financial panic of last fall, but also to the fact that families have lived beyond their means in time of

THE STORMY SEASON

Spring and fall are the two seasons of the year when windstorms and tor nadoeS seem to be most frequent. The reports of the last few days would seem to indicate that the frequency of these storms along the storm belt in the states is by no means leSSening. It is possible that the violence of the storms and disturbances throughout the world seems greater because of the greater facility with which the knowledge of them now reaches all parts of the world. It may be like the life of the married man, not longer but seems longer,
 There is reason to believe, however, that with the wholesale destruction of timber there have come not only sud den and overwhelming floods followed by drought turning once fruitful gar dens into deserts, but also windStorms that can sweep unimpeded through a long stretch of territory.
 When destructive tornadoes are laying waste the towns in certain parts of the states and leaving in their wake hundreds of people dead, it be- comes more evident that Alaska. neg lccted as it has always been and still is by the United States government, iS not a bad or undesirable place n which to live The Creator of the universe has made a country here that can support large population, and all there iS needed from the govern ment is the kindly and helpful inter- es, that should be taken in all the d. pendent territories,

Paraffine Keeps Fruit

The Dalles, Or.-FruitS that ripened last July. are now displayed by John Pashek of this city. as an illustration of the preservative qualities of paraf- fine. Mr. Pashek has had excellent success in this mode of keeping fruit fresh throughout the winter months, and in addition to some fine specimens of Flemish Beauty peas, has grapes, melons, tomatoes and various other fruits that present an appearance of being as fresh as when picked. To get the best results the fruit IS picked when just ripe for shipping. It is then dipped in molten paraffine, which is not allowed to become warm, and the wax makes an air-tight covering, pre- cluding the admission of decay-creat- ing bacteria.

A Pocket Wireless
position.

Walter J. Willenborg is boy who has decided to conquer the problems of wireless telegraphy. He has his own laboratory adjoining his bedroom. He has constructed wireless receiv- Ing station at the top of the house.
 Curious to see what could be done on very small scale, says St. Nicholas, he invented and made a portable wire less telegraphic station that he could carry about in his pockets. From the top button of his coat he hung a slender wire that reached to the ground and so arranged that when he walked along country road the wire would trail upon the ground behind him.
 In his pocket he carried little bat tery. On bit of board as big as your hand he placed a complete wireless transmitting apparatus, induction coil baby sounder and all, supporting this fairy telegraph station by fastening it to belt around his waist.
 From this travelling station he sent messages from country road to his folks at home eight miles away in town, telling them where he was and where he was going and that he would reach home in time for supper.

Guarding Against Flood

The Seward Light and Power Com pany have a force of men at work put ting in timbers along the side of the glacier stream below the bridge on Fourth avenue. They are doing this in order to keep the high water from rains and melting snow from cutting through the bank of the stream and doing serious damage to their plant.
 The Seward Water and Power Com pany have a similar work to do above the bridge in order to protect their pipes. Unless this is attended to the stream is likely to cut away from it's old channel and sweep in by the rail road building and the Gateway office and do great damage to that part of the town.

Timers Outfit is Lost

Valdez-Two horses, sleds and a complete summers outfit was lost on Chitina river April 6 by the Mother Lode Mining Company. The outfit was being sledded to the mines by a party of three men, and while they were crossing the river the ice gave away, carrying 5orses, SledS and men into the river. The men succeeded in getting out, but the horses and outfit were swept down the stream under the ice. For two weeks the weather had been very warm in the Chitina valley and the ice was rapidly rottng, mak- ing it unsafe for travel. All of the other outfits bound for the copper dis trict have reached their destinations and no more sledding will be done on the river this spring.
