A FITTING

Mr.. E. w. Clapp, district freight
and passenger agent of the Southern
Pacific, with headquarters at Reno
has been promoted to the much mere
important district, with Offices ut
Fresno. This is one of the greatest
compliments that could be paid a
member of the staff of the big Harrt
man line. especially as it IS an ad-
vance over the agent at Sacramento,
which has been considered the sep
ping stone to the direction of San
Joaquin valley business. It Mr..
Clapp succeeds as well as he has in
the Nevada field his friends will be
favored with news of another ad-
vancement.
During Mr.. Clapp's stay in Nevada
he has made a large number OF
friends, not only for himself, but =. I
the road he represents. His strt nE
personality has been the main factor
in acquiring a pleasant relationship
between railroad and business man.

about realization of the fact that ii
holds the key to the copper metal
situation and that it must be reck-
oned with accordingly in the bring

ton of producers. The boom in the
stocks of the smaller companies of
the district may be in part ~traceable
to this realization. There is a great
deal of valuable ground in the dis
trict in independent hands, the con-
troll of which will later be a neces-

The commission sent by congress
to Liberia in answer to an appeal
from that country to save it from as
sanitation by France. and Great
Britain has just reported, recon-
mending the help asked for. Some
interesting facts and figures are
given. There are 10000 Liberians,
that is, descendants of civilized ne
groes, and 100000 native negroes.
The former live in towns along the
coast and rivers that very much re-
semble the negro towns of u own
Southern states. They occupy them
selves mainly with trading with the
natives in natural products which
they export. They have schools, but
no railroads; their towns are fairly
we'll governed and fairly clean. 1he
government is republic, in fact as
we'll as name. The country needs
protection from encroachments on
her territory and also money and
business management if it is to sur
vive as an independent nation.
