 Hon. Harry C. Gunnels, State Super intendent of Education. returned yes terday morning from Geneva County and points in neighborlng counties where the State High School Commits sion is engaged in the inspection or proposed sites for high school build ings.
 On account of pressure of state bust ness, Superintendent Gunnels was forced to cut short his share in the itinerary for this week though he ex- poets to renew the journey in two or three days.
 # eve all made five separate addresses Wednesday," said Superintendent Gun ners yesterday. We made formal speeches in three different places ac- eordinE to schedule and then we had to throw in q few remarks at a couple of banquets. repeated what we have said before on this subject of an edu- cational revival in Alabama. It is here and there Is no estimating the magni- tude. There was great outpouring of the representative population at every place we visited and they were not. as some might believe, present out of curiosity but in spirit of earnest ness, believing the problem of educa- tion the most pressing of all public matters in Alabama.
 Mir. Davis, Exact words.
 Mir. ". C. Davis, member of the State Executive Committee from Walker county has written to the press com plaining tbat the exacts wording of his resolution, letting down the bars in the primary was not given. The off wording of the substitute offered by MT. Davis for the Allgood resoiu- ton dealingi with that question, as taken from the report of Stenographer McGauly is as follows:
 "All qualified white electors who be- lieve in democratic principles and who will support the nominee of such prim- ary. are invited to participate there in."
 The newspaper accounts had "en- titled" for invited" MT. Davis recol- lection of the word used was request ed" The officials record. however, shows that the original opens the way for a vote from all who believe in Democratic principles and they are in- yited to participate in the primary.

ALONG SALMON

Construction of the Denver, Laramie
q Northwestern railroad, a line to be
built from Denver to Puget Sound, is
reported to be under way in Colorado.
The proposed line connects with the
Chicago & Northwestern at Lander,
Wyoming, and is believed to be part
of the Northwestern S extensions in the
west.
The proposed road is to be built
northwest from Denver in as direct a
line as possible, through Wyoming, to
the southern boundary of Yellowstone
park. From there the line runs direct
to Lewiston, Idaho, following the
Salmon river through the Rocky noun
tains, a route that has long been
recognized as the only feasible one for
railroad through that section.
From Lewiston the road follows al
most a direct line through Washington
to Tacoma. 1t is believed here that
the engineers recently engaged in the
surveys on the east side of the bay
were employed by representatives Of
the new road, states a Tacoma news
paper.
Construction work was commenced a
month ago and was the occasion Of a
big celebration under the auspices of
the Denver chamber Of commerce. 1t
is said that the projected road will
open one Of the richest mineral, timber
and agricultural sections in the west,
virtually now without transportation
facilities.

RanCher Takes Out $40
In Ten Hours.
WAS ONCE BED OF THE RIVER
Ground Will Be Worked on
Extensive Scale.

zoe Eakin, a rancher on Salmon river
IA miles below Dixie, out the first of
the week for the first time since the
deep snow came in the fall, has found
placer deposit in a 5-acre tract on his
ranch from which he took out $40 in
gold in ten hours, before he reached
bedrock. "Some of the old placer min
ers around Dixie pronounce it the best
prospect they have ever seen, and a
number say it viii pay in the neignbor-
hood OF 500 a day when actual sluicing
on bedrock is done, " said Mr.. Eakin.
Old Bed of Salmon River.
The ground was a part Of the Salmon
river bed and wherever the old bed Of
the river has been placer mined it has
been found to be very rich in gold.
The new ground is 100 feet above the
river, and water for sluicing is taken
from a ditch that has carried water for
irrigating the ranch. Mr. Eakin has
four boxes, and half Of the $40 cleanup
was found in the first box. The gravel
is 30 feet deep.

two companions from Old Ham, South
