there is one or two North Poles, and

will be a mighty lot less concerned
about the Roosevelt policies than about
the plunging fullback on the Rabbit
vile eleven The only tariff about
which it will have sOlicitude Will be
the coming great grdirsn battle be-
tween Piqua Rattlers and the Jones'

news to be honored with its attention
will be the thrilling story of how the
great audience stood on it's feet while
the fighting halfback of the scarlet and
green. bleeding from 40 wounds and
crippled in both legs, snatched the
coveted pigskin from the gigantic
guard of the cream and yellow, and
smashing through the dismayed line,
raced down the field and planted
the ball over the line squareiy in
front of the goal all amid the wells

sANTos-DUMoNT TO THE FRONT

While French and American inven-
tors have been breaking each others
records and piing sensation upon SEN
sation in the field of aviation. the ques-
ton has been frequently asked, What
has become of Santos Dumont?' a
few wears ago when aerial navigation
was confined exclusively to- the huge
! cigar shaped balloon the young Bra
lillian was the talk Of two continents.
His achievements in encircling the
Eiffel tower and making distant fights
brought him reputation as the most
daring the most original and most
fortunate experimenter Of his day But
the sudden success fthe Wrights,
which was followed by a number of
other American and French flights, and
the eliminating wonder of the Rheims
contests brought an eclipse of Santos
Dumont and he was almost forgotten.
What was he doing all this time that
he did not challenge the new invad-
ers of his own field of experimental
ton? This is the answer:
NJ. Santos Dumont has emerged
from his seclusion with an aeroplane
of his own invention both smaller and
swifter than those Of his rivals. We
are told also that its wings spread
only a sixth as many square feet as
does the machine Of his best known
rivals, the Wrights; With its one pas
senger on board it weighs but 240
pounds. and in it's first public flights
it made speed of fifty-five miles an
hour Truly this is something worth
waiting for. and we now understand
what Santos -Dumont was doing in the
time when he was silent. 1t is al
most uncomfortable that an art that
is only in its infancy should bring
such remarkable results SO. soon 1t
seems but yesterday that the first
announcement was made to the world
that a heavier than-air machine act
ually flew Yet Santos Dumont now
comes forward with a small and e Jm-
pact little craft weighing. with him
on board only go pounds and accom-
pliShing the astonishing speed Of 55
miles an hour
1t has been demonstrated by Bleriot
in his flight across the English chan
mel. and again by the wonderful flight
of Santos DumOnt. that the smaller
monOplane (, capable of outstrippinS
its larger rival, the biplane. Of course
it were idle to speculate upon the form
the final airship will take, and perhaps
there will be many types for various
purposes. But the thing that is of
noteworthy interest at this time is the
fact that Santos Dumont has not aban-
doned the field and now comes from
temporary retirement with the sensa
ton of the day

CITY OF lRONDALE.

Thirty-eigh miles from Seattle. and
four miles from Port Townsend, at
the head of Port Townsend Bay. the
IrOndale Steel company is pushing to
early completion steel plant which Is
destined to have a far-reaching effect
throughout the Northwest.
Briefly the IrOndale Steel company
own a magnificent location on the fin
est port of Puget sound and With their
pig iron plant completed, are now fin
ishing steel plant which VIII have a
combined capacity of pig iron. steel
pipe and' steel plates of about 200 tons
per day. The IrOndale Steel cOmpay.
capitalized at $4,000, 900, owns the
toWnsfte. the plant, deposits Of iron
ore on Vancouver island and in Skaglt
county, and has 99-year leases on vast
coal mines in Pierce county.
There are no steel plants located on
the Pacific coast. and it is estimated
that 100000 tons of steel are yearly
consumed in the northwestern states.
The company has plated an ideal
toWnste. and within three months will
have a payroll apprOximating $4,000
per month. This means city of at
least 5000 people. An opportunity is
presented to the public that is but sell
dom offered to people of moderate
means.
The tOWnsite was opened two months
ago and already 900 lots have been
sold. and a busy, busting little town
is rapidly being created. A number
of splendid lots are now offered to the
public at prices ranging from 800 to
$1,000.

his knee and lay it on until budding
you comprehended that it was still
youthful.
At the college of Colorado the fash
ion this year is for upper classmen to
strip freshmen of their clothing and
turn them adrift with no cover for
tame until at last. a lone freshman
was caught and stripped on crowded
humane society took hand and the
students are learning that there is a
higher authority than the upper class
men in an educational institution.
At Toledo. Ohio. freshman in a
secondary school is near death. A
party of sophomores seized him to
cut his hair He showed fight, and in
the scrimmage he fell down a cellar
way. His skull is fractured and part
of it had to be removed by surgeons.
If he dies. obviously the charge against
his assailants should be manslaughter.
From time to time similar incidents
will come to the surface. AS Wood
row Wilson of Princeton said of the
WAYS of college life, there is lot of
things in the circus that we in the
main tent know nothing about and
hazing is one of them.
Young America has its fads and
fancies and takes advantage of the
numbers at college to put them into
practice Hazing affords the idler a
chance to be busy, the coward op-
portunitv for doing what he would
be afraid to do alone. and the per-
vert his means for playing the black
guard The rational lad the one
who will later count, shuns the
whole business and thereby honors
his institution and his family. When
congress put hazing under the ban
at the national academies and the
president of the United States APP
proved the order dismissing seven
hazers from West Point. a precedent
was set for all institutions to follow.
