Albany, Sept. 16-Late yesterday President Taft, in lenghty letter to the newspapers, completely exonera, ted Secretary Balllnger in the matter of charges filed by Chief Glavis in connection with the Cunningham claims.
 Mr. Taft aslo declared that such charges as made by Glavis only spreads suspicion and injures the department in carrying out perfect system of work. He said the chal ges were based upon crcumstantial evidence and inti- mates they were of the slimsest char acter. The president after reviewing the case has notified secretary Ballin- ger to dismiss Glavis from the forestry service as soon as he desires, and rec ommends that he do so at once.
 The Montana water power cases were also examined by the president and found to be wanting in every par sicular. No proof was forthcoming by

City Council Trying
 to Fulfill Promise

The Common Council of the city of ketchikan met last evening and allowed all bills that had been recon- mended for payment by the auditing committee. Several matters of public importance were discussed among them being the matter of building road to the plant of the New England Fish company.
 The City Council has promised the company that walk should be built to their place Of business and it would have been completed long ago but for some unforeseen delay. To construct this road dedication of a strip of land forty feet wide and fifteen nun- dred feet long had to be obtained form the FidaIgo Island packing con pany through which the proposed road is to pass. The correspondence has neces- sarilv been slow and for that reason alone the work has been delayed. The adjustmont and before long we hope to see rhe work begin.

GOVERNMENT EXTRAVAGANCE
 AT WEST POINT ACADEMY

Prince of Peace. A civic career is in accord with our boast of the highest ethical ideals.
 Can any econo mist explain why it is that the per capita cost of war educa- ton should be ten times as much as that of a useful career in civil life?
 Let me refer to one single item of this appropriation. I find the pay for military band and for additional musi- cians, field musicians, and so forth for this academy aggregates the total Of S24, ,076. This does not include cloth ing, full keep. and quarters at the academy. A fair estimate shows that the music for the 52l students, accord
 ing to this appropriation. cost last year s5l O76. Just what connection music has with war is something l can not successfully explain. When music, heavenl, maid, was young, when she sang to the birds and stars and to the uncivilized man, she certainly did not come that high.
 Here are items in this blll for coal, gas, and for heating purposes aggre gating s46, 800, and an additional ten i thousand for fuel, and so forth, mak ing the aggregate for heating and gas s56, 500 For gas, coal, lanterns, and matches, ten thousand more is appro- priated, making in all SG6, 800. IL seems to me that this amount ought 10 warm up the o2l well clothed and well-uniformed cadets pretty well, even in zero weather.

Rocks are Getting
 Along in Years

All work done and conciuslons reached by geologlsts In regard to the older rocks of the North American continent has been sun marized by c. k. Van Hise, president of the Uniyer- sty of Wisconsin, and c. k. Aieih, a professor at the same institution in bulletin No. 3601 just issued by the the title, "Pre- Cam brian geology of North America. ''
 The term preC Cambrian is used to include all rocks supposed to have been in existence before those laid down in the Cam brian period, at the begin ming of the Paleozolc era. h the early days of geologic study all these pre- Cambrian rocks wore supposed to be of igneons origin and to record a time before life began. Later, when both sedimentary beds and fossils were discoverd in them they were subdi- vided usually into two various named systems, the older Of whloh, now generally knwon as the Archean, wa. supposed to be destitute of life and sediments, while the younger, now called the Algonkian, was supposed to mark the earliest beginning of both. More recently sediments have been found and fossils suspected in certain Archean rocks, so that the distinct tion between these two systems now depends on other points of difference most of which are not quite So easily grasped or applied. Nevertheless the subdivision is useful, since the Arc hean and Algonkain are separated from each other by great "uncon- formity'' and differ from each other physically as much as the Algonkian iffers from the Cambrian.
 Where so much doubt existed in regard to even such enormous systems, it was inevitable that greater doubt shoud exist in regard to details. Many writings on the subject have proved to be erroneous very shortly after their publication and marked nconsisten cies and disagreements still exist. The matter in the prese volume has been collected in hope that the setting of the ideas of all writers on the sub ject side by side might help to clarify matter and to show definitely the pres ent state of knowledge on the subject. In the discussion the aim of the author has been not to call attention to what seemed erroneous, but to point out where there was harmony between the different authors, often yelled | because terms are used with different ignifcations and to note the import ant conclusion which have been clearly determine Statements and conclu- sions with which the writers did not agree are in general not criticised nor is any refutation attempted, unless the point at issue was fundamental and could not he overlooke ed.

President Taft To
 Tour Whole Country
United Press special

CA'SSN - sSp
 Boston, Mass, Sept. 15-At the banquet given to President Taft last night he said that beginning to day he would start on a thirteen thousand mile tour of the country taking in almost every state and territory to study the monetary system. The presi- dent was emphatic in declaring that this system shall be kept free of Wall Street. His object is a commendable one, and the most important moves will be keenly watched by the great financial world, including press banks and prominent business men.
 A report, authentic in nature, assumes that Senator Aldrich will start on a featuring tour throughout the west. His subject will consist principally of the monetary system and the adherences which have controlled his mind and voice in the senate for the past twenty years. He says there is no room for sectionalism in such a grave natter between the east and west, and his endeavors will be to cover and adjust equltably for all concerned. Senator Aldrich's tour comes conspicuously significant at this time, since the president is also on a monetary trip. The subjects are looked upon as being noteworthy of commen- daton by both gentlemen for amlca bic purposes and to let the people oi the country themsevles see the situa- ti on and instruct accordingly, through their representatives in congress.

As an illustration of the utter extra yagance of the governments policy in maintaining the West Point academy we take the following from spt sch m ade by Hon. Isaac Sherwood of Ohio during the last days of the recent ses- sion of congress.
 Let me refer to few items of wicked waste in the West Point Milf tary Academy bill, which aggregates this year the enormous sum of B, 53l, : 5l2. Ia 1869, when General Grant as President the appropriation for West Point was sll6, 706, which amount included g.. GOO for the yearly Jambo- fce of the congressional committee, technically called the "Board of Wis itors." How does SIG, FOG under Grant compare with g.. 53l, 52l under the much promised economy of Pres- dent Taft?
 I find that the great Ann Arbor (Mich. Univel sity, one of tue best equipped higher educational plants in the United States, with ,. 900 students, is run at yearly cost of s940, GOO. The cost per student, with board at Ann Arbor. IS S4i8 per year. while the cost per student for 52l students at West Point is at the rate of st, SSl per year. How does s44S per year for 8 liberal education, for scientific or a professional career compare with s4, Ss4 per year at West? It is over 10 times as much.

MANHATTAN FINEST FISHING
 BOAT IN THE WORLD
Ketchikan Business Men See Fleet of EIaIibut
 Dories Catching Fish for N. E. F. Co.

The halibut fishing boat Manhattan now fishing in the waters of the ketchikan district is credited with being the finest fishing boat in the world. She is of steel construction acd her plates are identical with those used on battleships of the American navy. She is equipped with $50 horse power engines and can be speeded up to nearly 14 knots an hour, though eleven knots is her ordinary running time.
 Yesterday manager A. l.. Hager and Captain John Gott invited a party of Ketcihkan business men to go over in Chomondelly sound and see how hali- but were caught. The party consisted of NJ. E. Mitchell. Fremont King, Floyd Ryus, J. R. Reckman, Wm. Short, Geo. Rounsfell, w. A. Bryant, and Bert Howdeshell, with Capt. Levy as pilot. The crew consisted of thir- teen sailofs aud twenty four fishermen. Upon arriving at the fishing grounds twelve dories were lowered each con- taining two men and about two miles of fishing line to which hooks were attached at intervals of nine feet. A barrel buoy was anchored to which the lines were attached and the boats pulled away paying out the entire lines. When they wer9 all set there were fortyeght miles of lines etrung over and along the channel. It was a picturesque sight and resembleu the manoeuvering of small war ves- sels.
 After wait of two hours whistle from the NJ anhatten signaled tbe men to haul in their catch. Then came the interesting moment. The men get paid only for catching hal.nut and yesterday seemed to be doghsh day.

As the hooks came in, many of them attached to dog fish, the men slapped the fish across the edges of the boats and after breaking their backs tore the hooks from their mouth and cast them overheard as food for gulls or other dog fish. When a hundred pound halibut came in he was knocked senseless by a blow from billy and made to lay still. The men worked like machines and within an hour the twelve boats were back, unoaded and packed up in shipshape on tho steamer.
 Yesterday the catch was not large. It was more in the form of an experi- ment in new waters. Fortyfour fine halibut were taken with an average wolght of about fifty pounds each. The cleaning process began immedi- atesy and after the fish were opened and thoroughly washed they were packed below in Ice and brought to the New England Fish Company's plant in Getchikan.
 Haiibut fishing on large scale is something new for these waters and is thoroughly interesting. The men are furnished everything including board and lodging, and raid one cent pound for all fish caught. They have their own men to check the count, and it is said of the New England Fish company that in all the fifteen years they have been operating on the Pacific coast, not one>cents difference has occurred between the count of the men and the returns from the office. At the close of the season of nine months work, the average wages paid to the fishermen amounted to Sl ,5ts6 each. That is the cash they received over and above all their e penses.
