STATE HISTORICAL SOCIETY.

The second volume of the records ot
the State Historical society is about
ready for distribution. 1t is replete with
much valuable and very interesting mat.
ter connected with the early history OF
this territory. While the history of this
state would seem to be of very recent
beginning, yet, after all, from the fact
that the Hudson Bay company began
their fur business very early and that
this locality was then occupied by them
as part of their trading ground, and
by the further facts that many of the
exploring expeditions came this way,
makes the earliest accounts of this Sec
tions coincident in time with many of
the states which are generally thought
of as far older For instance, this locality
was settled by white people long before
Minnesota and the first settlers of St.
Paul went there from Pembina. The
vast herds of buffalo and many streams
full of fish made this section an ideal
place for the Indian, who were followed
by the half breeds and they in turn by
the white man. And it was the soil from
whose fertility grew the luxuriant grass.

Weather Conditions.

Wire trouble this morning has pre-
vented the receipt of all weather re-
ports except those from Pacific coast
stations. A disturbance is approach
ing the Washington coast and rain
with easterly gales has set in at the
seacoast stations. Elsewhere on the
slope fair weather has prevailed. There
is a high barometric area of unknown
extent but apparently of considerable
strength east of the northern Rocky
mountain region. 1t has caused a fall
in temperature in portions Of the inter

have risen west of the Cascades. The
indications are for snow turning to

QUARTZ ERA IN ALASKA.

The most important discoveries
which have as yet been made in the
interior of Alaska are reported by re-
cent arrivals in Seattle from the Ia
mana, says the Post-Intelligencer. 1t
appears by their reports that there has
been discovered in the neighborhood OF
Fairbanks large Lodges of free milling
quartz of exceptional richness and SD
lying as to give every surface lnd1ca-
iton that these lodges were the origin
al sources from which the great placer
raposits of the Fairbanks region came.
The main ledge has been traced for
distance of twenty miles, and just be-
low where it is located on each creek
is where the placer pay streak com
mances 1t is apparently the mother
lode" of the region.
This discovery insures the perma-
nency of the camp. The quartz epocn
has commenced, and for generations
to come. in the ordinary course of
events, there will be extensive gold
mining on the Tanana, 1t is one of the
first of such discoveries to be made in
that region. and is by far the most
important of them all.
Soon or late the placer deposits ly-
ing near the surface will be exhausted
in the older camps on the Yukon. Min
ing thereafter will be a matter of in
vestment of considerable capital
working the extensive gravel deposits
of low grade and developing the quartz
properties. The latter will make the
permanent mines which will always
employ an army of labor and always
produce abundantly of wealth, for, by
an almost uniform rule, quartz de-
posts increase in richness with depth.
The finding of lodges of high grade,
free milling quartz in place, with the
immediate development of these lodges
chapter in the history of Alaska and
fixes a new character upon the mining
camps of that territory. They will
cease to be mining camps in the pres
ent sense, but will become permanent
centers of a large industrial popula-
ton.

"The Reincarnation."

In his third play, the final one in a
cycle, Henry Knott the young drama
fist, will enter a new, and as yet,
UNEMPLOYED field. He calls this drama,
takes up a subject Of great fascination
and weaves about it story Of drama
tic power and strength The three
plays are three steps, as it were, to
certain end The first one, called "The
Revelation, takes up the we'll known
law of cause and effect. n it the mes
sage is to men and women of today.
1t is shown in a vivid manner and in
powerful pictures that the sins Of the
fathers are visited upon the children.
They are brought face to face with
the fact that the only real solution of
the greatest problems of the human
race is right living. 1t is shown incon-
trovertibly that men and women live
again in their children; that the sins
Of the fathers bear heavily upon pos
terity. In the second play, called "The
Master Man." another step is taken,
and the degradation and the nobility OF
life is portrayed. In this, man is shown
in his struggle with evil, and his tri-
umph over sin and vileness leads him
naturally to the third step 1.-THE Re-
will show characters and individuals
who have reached a high plane through
the right living and the uprighteous-
ness of their progenitors. The people
of the play will be of the great sixth
race that is looked forward to by those
who have the good Of humanity at
heart. These lessons, however, will
not be preached, but will be set forth

ADJUSTMENTS
Gadski A Treat.

If one may judge from journalistic
rhapsodies, Nine. Gadskis success in
the sections commonly termed wild
and-woolly has been quite as striking
as in the effete east. One breezy west
ern paper recently remarked:
1T is an unalloyed joy-possibly be-
cause so rare-to hear an artist who
is in her prime with voice possess
ing youthful freshness, instead of pow
ers merely reminiscent of past glo-
ries. We gladly hear the has beens,
for we learn much from them even
though their voices be on the Wane,
but it certainly is a delight to listen
to a singer who 'is' instead of was.

CHANGE THE LAW.

The attempt to fix the responsibility
for the faulty construction Iof the
state aid road leading into College
Place-an attempt which it now ap-
pears would be futile wothout grand
jury-and the rather ridiculous situa-
tion Of having this road accepted by
the state highway commissioner, who
has his office in Olympia, and rejected
by the board of county commissioners.
whose offices are by two miles from
the work in question, and who must
foot the bill, can lead to but one con-
clusion, and that conclusion is that
the experiment with the state highway
commission is a failure, and that at
tempts to enlarge the power Of the
Olympia authority is the heighth of
folly.
It is to be hoped that the legislative
it can be given the same opportunity
for observation and the same informa-
ton that has come to this newspaper
within the last As hours.
Let the committee look at that road
compare it with the one built by this
county under the supervision of gov
eminent engineers. hear the story OF
the county commissioners and the
county engineer and the contractor
who did the work, and this community
a community which believes in good
roads and which is willing to pay for
good roads, is willing to abide by the
result.
That a fair minded legislative COM
mittee could, after a 4S-hour visit
here, go back and do otherwise than
to recommend a change in the law
to give the county commissioners ex-
elusive control over roadbuilding is
unbelievable.

MELBA TO SING
FOR SUFFERERS

NAPLES, Italy, Jan. 29.-What will
be beyond doubt the greatest benefit
operate performance in the history
of Naples is being arranged for Sunday
night at the San Carlos opera house
Nine. Melba who recently completed
her operate engagement at the Man
sailed for her Australian home by way
of Europe, will arrive here Sunday
morning and in the evening will sing
for the benefit Of the earthquake vic
Tins of southern Italy. To do this, it
ship on which she is to sail that night
for Australia held several hours at this
port.
Anxious to do something for the
earthquake sufferers and knowing
that she would be in Naples for part
of day, the singer thought of a spe-
cial opera performance, at which she
would give her services. She cabled to
Roberto Desana, director of the San
Carlo opera house, who said he would
gladly arrange for La Traviata" to
be sung.
Then Nine. Melba cabled to London
to know if the Orontes, on which she
has engaged passage from Naples to
Australia, could delay her departure
from the early evening to midnight of
that day in order that the singer might
appear at the benefit The answer
came back that the steamship line
would be glad to hold the Orontes.
1t is likely that the tenor for the
occasion will be John Mccormack,
whom Mr.. Hammerstein has engaged
for next season.
Three years ago, at Covent Garden,
Nine. Melba arranged an opera benefit
for the Calabria earthquake sufferers,
when $4,000 was raised.

RENTING DUKES.

If American millionaires must adorn
their family trees with foreign noble
men, they owe it to the national rep
utation for shrewdness to do it in the
most economical way. We are con-
tinually hearing of the great sums of
principal and income carried from the
United States to Europe in the dowries
and maintenance of American women
who marry titled foreigners.
The loss of income is bad enough
without removal of invested capital
from this country. One thrifty Ameri-
can at least has shown how this par
tial saving of the national wealth of
the United States may be made by
renting British dukes instead of buy
ing them. There may be other cases

LAWYERS WANT
NEW DEAL WHERE
ROOT DECIDED

OLYMPIA, Jan. 29.-(Special Cor
respondence)-The passage of an act
which will grant all Etigants to the
right of having their cases heard upon
appeal in cases in which Judge Root
wrote an opinion adverse to the APP
pellant, is advocated by A. c. Clausen,
an attorney of Spokane, in a letter
which he has written to Representa-
tive Edge. The letter is as follows:
Dear Sir: There are a number OF
us attorneys who do not feel salts
fed that we have gotten a square deal
in opinions written by Judge Root,
even though affirmed on petition for
rehearing, or rather petition for re-
hearing denied, for the reason that we
are informed that the practice of the
supreme court is or has been to leave
the examination Of the statement of
facts to the judge who writes the op1n-
ion, taking his statements on consul
tation as correct, and presumable on
petition for re-hearing still assuming
such statement as correct as to the
facts. The reason for this dissatisfac-
ton is obvious for if the opinion writ
ing judge be so disposed whether from
bias, prejudice of interest, such as for
instance "indiscretions of friendship
he would naturally and very probably
color or distort the facts to suit the
conclusions to which he wished to ar
rive with his colleagues.
Sufficient has already been shown
warrant, it seems to me, a special stat
ute granting to all litigants the right
to have their cases heard on appeal
whether petitioned for rehearing or not
in which Judge Root wrote the opinion
adverse to the appellant, except In
cases where settlements have been
made or rights have become vested
pursuant to such opinions.
such a law would tend to reestab-
lish that respect for the courts which
is SO essential to a due administration
Of Justice. / believe such a statute
would be perfectly constitutional il
properly drawn up.

ion on the subject at your earliest con-
venience."
