How well do we appreciate the fact that some
part of the Philadelphia road will be put in
good condition and we hope that the county
will start where the State leaves off and extend
the work few miles further. Last week s
UNION had an article in it notifying the road
supervisors about the clogged up bitches, but
what is the use of that when you receive the
reply from the supervisor that he has no orders
to clean the bitches and that he cannot do it.
There is one way to get around this and that
is for each man 10 clean out the bitches along
his property and send in the bill to the county.
Then may be the Commissioners will get busy.

Maud Marie s Musings

There is one object over which have held my pen poised for some months in doubt whether dared attack it and whether you had not heard too much about it already.
 Most of the great pens of the last decade have settled down upon it at one time or an other, and almost everybody, from the age of twelve up, has discussed it more or less.
 Have you guessed what it is?
 Why, Platonic friendship, of course
 What Ebert Hubbard says of debts of hon. or great many people will echo of Platonic friendship
 As for debts of honor, they are not''
 To me it seems a sad thing to believe that it is impossible for any man and woman to be sufficiently high-minded to take pleasure in each others society without any thought of sex, to feel for each other "a spiritual af- fection-regarding the mind only,' which is the dictionary definition of Platonic friend ship
 But m not going to try to prove it's exist ence, because you might as well try to make a New York man think Peary discovered the pole as make person, who thinks Platonic friendship an impossibility, change his mind.
 What l want to say on the subject, what have been meditating about so long, is just a little warning to those who do believe in it.
 And this is the warning:
 Cling to your belief, put it into practice, if you can, but make your experiments before you are married and with some one else who is also not bound.
 Then, if you don't succeed in carrying on Platonic friendship, you have simple way of escape from the situation through the wedding ring.
 But most of the supporters of the Platonic friendship, for some unknown reason, seem to prefer to put the thing to the test under con ditions where the wedding ring is an impris- oning bar instead of a loophole of escape
 wonder if, by any chance, it is the element of danger, rather than the Patonic friend ship, that they enjoy?

SOMETHING OF A FEAT

The presentation of the presidents message in full few hours after its delivery was some thing of feat of which the Silver Belt will be pardoned for bragging. The Silver Belt first began to receive the address about 9 o'clock Tuesday night By midnight the complete mes sage was in type and ready for subscribers. When the reader stops to think that this docu- ment makes fourteen columns in small, cold type and was handled in connection with the reg ular telegraph and local service, he will appre- ciate the value of the effort and the efficiency of the newspaper able to deliver such big piece of news on such short notice. Only the largest dailies equaed this record.

AND ARCHITECTURE

as automobiles, the architectural treatment of the tops of buildings will have to be considered If the city is to be looked down upon the roof and the downward perspective must be calcu- lated. The bird s-eye view will become as inn portant as the facade. The landscape gardener can enlarge his industry. Already the roofs of apartment houses in cities are utilized in hot weather for recreation and sleeping. There will be large opportunity for decorative effects of flowers and trees, mosaic walks, fountains per golas, and ornamental landing stages. The pos abilities appeal to the imagination. They prom ise new development in the social evolution. Perhaps there will be new physical trouble for the doctors to treat caused by excessive gag ing upward at the argosies of the air.

MOTION NEARLY PERPETUAL

No person of serious mind or we'll guided in the science of physics nowadays sets up claim to have invented a contrivance of perpetual mo- ton. But the son of Lord Rayleigh has made a mechanical approach to that impossibility. He has devised time-piece, which consists of two leaves of aluminium, an exhausted glass tube and fraction of grain of radium. The radioactivity of the radium causes the aluminium leaves to move once minute, and with wire less coher bell rings at each movement. For 10000 years at least the wonderful energy in herent in the microscopic piece of radium will, it is calculated continue to act, and nothing whatever needs to be done to the clock once it is set going

It might surprise you to learn that women have come to be very successful ad-wrlters that large proportion of the ads. in this issue of this newspaper are written by women.
 Of course, it is in writing want ads. that women have been most successful.
 They have found out how simple 1t is to write a classified ad. that will perform, un- failingly personal service for them-hnd- ing servant, boarder, a tenant, buyer for used furniture or musical instruments or oth- CT articles of value.
 They write ads. that find employment for themselves-that find lost things-that aid in household management
 A good many ads. are being written TO-DAY by women for this newspaper.

FACES A GRILLINC
AT LONG DISTANCE
Captain of the. Star of Ben
gal Is Again Under
Fire
Responsibility of Tugboat Mas
ters in North Is Still
in Dispute

Captain Nicholas Wagner, the mas
ter OF the i'll fated Star OF Bengal
which was lost of the Alaskan coast
with more than 100 lives. was yesterday
subjected 10 long distance grilling al
the hands OF the inquisitorial board al
Juneau which must determine the re-
sponsibility for the loss of the vessel
sixteen folios Of written questions were
put TO him by inspectors Bolles and Bull
ger, and the answers viii be forwarded
TO the board in the north for final de-
termination.
Captain Wagner. during the prelimi-
nary examination before the local in
spectors, accused the tug boat captains,
Hamilton and Farrar. who commanded
the tugs Kyak and Hattie Gage, of
cowardice in deserting the Star of Ben
gal at the moment Of greatest peril, and
out OF this charge the second investiga-
ton grew. Captain Birmingham as
signed the case 10 the northern inspee-
tors because the tus. captains operated
n that district and these officials eX-
onerated the tug shippers. Both Far
their tugs in the north, but Wagner,
who had been suspended pending the
determination Of the board. awaited the
action OF the officials who had his fate
IN their hands.
When Supervising Inspector Berming
ham returned from Washington and
found that the real issue of the Star of
Bengal investigation had not been de-
cided but that Wagner's responsibility

elimination he demanded that the
northern board render a decision at
once. The result was a list Of written
questions TO be put 10 Captain Wagner.
The questions are merely a repetition
Of those asked Wagner at the first eX-
animation. the record of which had been
put IN the hands OF the northern board
by Birmingham. The substance OF
these IS. Was Captain Wagner in full
charge of the star Of Bengal at the
time OF the wreck and did he know that
the tugs were technically inland tugs
and not responsible TO their tow after
they got beyond the farthest out point
OF land.
Inasmuch as the tugs had been al
ways responsible for the safe offing OF
their tow, Captain Wagner said he felt
that he could take his sleep so that he
could be on the bridge when the vessel

ure Of the tugs, ana his other answers
bore out the statements of the wit
nesses at the first examination to the
effect that the ship was entirely de-
pendent on the tugs at the time they
deserted her.
Captain Wagner demanded that he be
sent north TO face the board. which he
thought had been Influenced in favor OF
the tug boat captains who had been ex-
onerated. Many subjects which had
been fully explained by all the wit
nesses At the first examination We're
gone over IN the questions Of the north
ern board. Among these were the un-
oerstanding Of putting into the harbor
Of St Johns in the event Of rough
weather. the ability Of the Star Of Ben
gal 10 handle her sail and the ability
of the tugs TO transfer the passengers
from the imperiled vessel.

PLAN GREAT STEEL
PLANT IN MlNARETS
Eastern Capitalists May De.
velop Mineral Resources of
Lofty Inyo County Region

The oldest mounain railroad in the
United States may soon be built in
California. Into a world OF flint,
among lofty Minarets, which lie partly
In MADEIRA county and partly In Inyo
county, the steel highway will be con-
structed IL certain Investigations OF
mineral values come UP to the expecta-
tions of several eastern capitalists, who
stand back of the enterprise.
Tungsten. worth 5000 a ton, exists
in the Minarets country in large guam
titles according to Paul F. Mohr, an
expert, who has been employed to in
vestigate the situation. He says iron
in vast quantities and copper in scores
of relatively smaller deposits can be
easily mined.
Mohr also says that the first steps
TO be taken Will be eminently practi-
cal. He has been instructed to use
diamond drills and take out cores from
the rocky formations at many places.
IL the assays are up to expectation,
the high Minarets and the valleys of
flint between them will hear the
scream of the locomotive and the thun-
der of stamp mills crushing ore In
the not distant future. Mohr declined
to name the capitalists interested.
Two years ago Mohr went into the
country as an expert in the employ
of State Mineralogist Aubury. He was
commissioned to examine and report
concerning the immense mineral wealth
In region that few have visited be-
cause of the difficulties attendin 2
travel In 1T. His report was that the
interesting stories relating to the Cali
fornia treasure house of the high alti-
tudes were not exaggerated; in fact
that they had failed to do the subject
justice. He says he saw a vein of
magnetic iron that he estimated to be
1000 feet thick and of great extent.
Fifteen hundred feet in depth Of the
vein was In plain sight from a canyon.
In the Minarets are many beaks
that are 10000 feet high. One is 1900
feet In height. At an elevation OF
1000 feet large lake exists. The
trails in are so steep that they are
described as being practically a Sc
ries of vertical curves over steen
mountains. The region was formerltv
included in the Yosemite national
park.
The proposed line viii run through
a country in which, for the most part
no one lives. There will be little pas
senger travel for long time. but in
the iron and tungsten deposits alone
there is the promise of a vast sunnIv
or iron and armor plate material. snf.
ncient to make and maintain for man,
