ALate Awakenine.

The chairman of the finance commit
tee of the council of Woodstock, N. b.,
writes:
"The Woodstock municipal lighting
plant was installed in 1882, at cost of
approximately $4,000, and continued
to serve the town up to the fall of
1906 when a contract was entered into
by the corporation with a private con-
Germ generating by water power. The
municipal plant had got in poor shape
and was not giving satisfactory serv-
Zee, and this, added TO the high price Of
fuel, induced the corporation to accept
the offer of the private company, which
now has a monopoly, the municipal
plant being practically fit for the scrap
heap"

DIVIDING the Trout Family.

The majority of naturalists divide
the salmo, or salmon, tribe into four
species-the salmon. the sea trout. the
brook trout and the lake trout. Scan
dinavian biologists reduce these four
to two species-salmon and trout-con-
sidering all the different kinds of trout
as mere varieties Of one species. There
is little doubt about the identity of the
lake trout and the brook trout, and ex-
periments by Mr. Cligny with the fish
of northern France make it appear
that there is no more doubt about the
identity Of the common trout and the
sea trout.
II there be a difference between the
adults of the two varieties there is
none between the fry. The fry of the
two kinds cannot be distinguished one
from the other until the trout. leaving
fresh water, seeks brackish water in
preparation for acclimatizing itself in
salt This takes place from May to
July. during which time the fry of the
common or brook trout. If brought into
brackish water, gradually assumes the
livery Of the salt water fish. There is
no room for doubt, according 10 this
French zoologist, that the sea trout and
the brook trout are one and the same
species The sea trout are a branch
OF the brook trout If some Of them
are Matched as sea trout many others
are Matched as brook trout. and these
young fish in descending the rivers be-
come true sea trout-New York World.

NEW YEARS RESOLUTION.

The Chinese have the rather ad- mirable habit of paying all their debt and sQuaring with the world on the eve of each New year. Unfortunate, ly for the collection agencies none of the Caucasian peoples have as yet contracted this habit. In America we content ourselves wlm adapting a few wise resolutions. more or less, that tend towards making us better and more charitable than we have been. Probably ninety-nine of every hundred New Years resolutions are fractured by January |, and for this reason the resolves of the New Year have been the theme of much unseemly Ieyity.
 A the same time it speaks well for human nature that mankind is prone 10 take sort Of mental inventory at the ending of the year and resolution of improvement during the year that is to be ushered in are highly cred. itable-though seldom kept Cigar men and saloonists smile cynically when offered sympathy on the dull day of business that invariably fol. lows December SI and remark that.

SAM WALL LEAVES ALASKA.

s. W. Wall has severed his con. necuou with The Alaskan and has re- turned to his family at the south. Sam Wall is known among newspaper people from one end of the Pacific coast to the other. He has filled many important journalistic assign, meuts in his day and they have caused him to journey to all parts Of the world. Though but young man he has been a pioneer in many fields, before joining the early rush to the Hondike, where for number Of years he did the strenuous work de- manded in that exacting field during the rushing days when Dawson was the shining star of the argonauts. Besides ranking at front among news paper men, Mir. Wall has the faculty of making friends in the slow, sure way that lasting friendship grows. As a writer he is logical and trenchent but his matter always bears the i'm print of diguiy-the reverse of Bill lingsgate or Bowery style. The Al askan is 10th to part with Mir. Walls services and joins with his many friends in regretting his departure.

CARNEGIE AND POVERTY.

The world yearns in sympathy with Andrew Carnegie while he struggles to give voice to his love of the poor and his hatred of the robber tariff which fattens the rich. What a wrenchmg of spirit in this man as he sees his riches pile up, in spite of his effort to die in poverty. He has bowels of compassion for the poor; he would be with them, and die with them. but the demon of prosperity thwarts him. His wealth is a punish. ment. imposed upon him as a rebuke to pride. We'll might he pray, with holy Willie:
 May be thou lets this fleshly thorn Beset thy servant cen and morn, Lest he owre high and proud should
 turn,
 Cause he's sac gifted;
 h sac, thy hand mam cen be borne,
 Until thou lift it.
 But there is hope for Carnegie, if he will pluck up courage and make another effort. Let him use his elo. queuce advocating an income taxa good stiff tax on all incomes approx mating, say, Sl.OOO,OOo a month. Why should he talk of repeating the duty on steel? That will not help him. He neither imports nor exports. If there were no duty, the golden flood would pour in upon him just the same. Nor will it aid him if an inheritance tax is placed upon his for. tune. He must sQuander his money while he is alive if he would accom- pIish the desire to die poor He can. not, of course, have any objection to an income tax. since this would mean the return of his wealth to the gov ernment which gave it, Taxation is admitted by everybody to be an ad- mirable method of whiting down a fortune. however stupendous. Mir. Carnegie himself suggests a heavy tax upon articles imported by the rich. thereby siguifying a willingness to cut down his neigbbor's fortune by taxation. Is he anxious to do more to his neighbor than he would do to himself? The world does not ask nor expect such sacrifices.
 Let the Respondent Laird of skido take a fresh grip, talk strictly to the point. and the boon of poverty will be his. Instead of devoting his time to a plan to cut down his neighbor's wealth. let him work for an income tax that will cut down his own. He can yet die poor; if he will but go about it in the right way.-Washing- ton Post

RUFF SENTENCED AT LAST.

After having been twice convicted of boodling and nearly two years at. ter eonfessing his guilt in open court. Abe Ruef, the San Francisco spoiler, has been sentenced to fourteen years in the California penitentiary. Ruef employed every possible means to escape conviction and jury bribing, dynamiting and attempted assassina- ton were among the methods used. After being convicted on his own con fession in an earlier trial the verdict was set aside by the supreme court of California on what seemed farcial grounds. Of course appeals will be made from the present sentence. but it is hardly probable that public orin- ion will again be outraged by the nb- eration of the fallen boss.
 Ruef was spoiler vulture-a type happily growing rarer in Hmeri- can politics-and his incarceration
