Find a Gold Mine---Nit

There's been interesting times at the Santa Ana cannery of late, all over a job put up on Chris Christianson the bcokkeeper, wfo, like the greater number of Us here in Alaska, believes Chat sooner or laten he is going fo make his pile by finding a gold mine, sc whenev- CT he happens to be out in the woods he keeps his eyes open for likely looking specimens. He was fishing along the creek and lake back of tie canhery lately, and drs Fcovered what he thought were in Idications of placer gold. He re- turned to the cannery and told Cap | Nelson of the Beaver of his find. That individual, scentin.g' chance to play a practical joke on Chris tianson, got some brass filings, and a gold pan and went cut with him. They arrived &t the place where the latter had m3de his supposed find, and Nelson scored ro q painful of the sand.S ard white his .victim't t;;attepti0p was directed else where, dropped ;he filings into the sand. Slowly a1d carefully he worked the 5an, picking out the gravel and running out the sand with the water, until there in the bottom of the pari the dull yellow flakes began to appear, and Chris was satisfied that his fortune was made.

Orchard Mesa People Anxious.

There was held last night on Or
chard Mesa meeting to discuss the
proposition of getting the railway
company to build an interurban COM
municating with Orchard Mesa. The
meeting was called by the Orchard
Mesa people and Mr. Noble. of the
railway company, was asked to be
present. The matter was gone over
but the Orchard Mesa people had no
proposition ready for submission last
night. Committees were appointed
and another meeting will be held soon
at which definite action may be taken.
There is much enthusiasm over the

A Scene Good To Look Upon.

Those citizens who have not taken
look at the yards of the railway
company near the car barns since the
material has been arriving should go
down and feast their eyes upon the
mighty piles, tiers, stacks of material
that is to be used in building this
valleys first interurban railway. Just
one look is all that is sufficient to
convince anybody of the early build
ing of the system, These yards are
among the liveliest places in the val
ley today.

TRIBUTE TO MRS. ROOSEVELT.

A writer in The New York Times
pens this deserved tribute to the wife
of our president: Mr.. Roosevelt has
been our president for eight years, and
in that time, whether for praise or
blame, he and his doings have been
handled almost daily in the newspapers.
But the present-day craving for no.
toriety may lead us to overlook the
creditable fact that we have not been
entertained morning after morning by
the accounts of the doings of Mrs.
Roosevelt.
Il wonder if the women of this
country realize how honored they have
been in the representation she has
given them, or recognize the graceful
dignity which has marked ner position
in the White House
Mrs. Roosevelt is, in the old phrase,
to the manner born and she establishes
that fact by the poise with which
she has carried herself through her
husbands term of office and the re-
straint she has SHOWN in ignoring the
schemes of the badge wearers who in

not passed through, as has so often

NEED OF MUNICIPAL EXPERTS.

In view of the rapidly increasing
perpleXity of municipal functions, the
need of municipal experts was pointed
out by Professor A. Lawrence Lowell
of Harvard university, in a paper read
before the National Municipal league,
This question has been the subject of
Professor Lowell's thought for many
years. Touching upon this need, Pro-
lessor Lowell said:
"The administration of city can
not be conducted efficiently and at the
same time be kept in touch with
public needs without combination of
the expert and the representative of
outside opinion, and the relation that
ought to exist between these two is
plain. The current management and
the initiative in the main ought to lie
with the expert, but he ought to work
under the constant oversight and con,
troll of non professional men.
'Such a relation has grown up spon-
taneously in our great commercial and
educational bodies, in the president and
directors of railroad or bank, in
the president and trustees of uni
versity or college, for example, and it
could be introduced into almost any
form of city government, for it is not
inconsistent either with the plan of
boards of commissioners or with that
of a mayors cabinet.
'In order to set up the proper re-
lation between the expert and the non.
professional representative of the pub
lie it is not necessary to prescribe their
duties by law, but to make the dis
tinction between them perfectly clear
and that distinction must be based
upon the essential difference in the
functions to be performed.
'The expert is expected to make his
public work his career. He should de-
vote his whole time to it, receive a
liberal salary and be protected from
removal except for cause. The non
professional is not to manage his de-
partment but to see that it is pro-
perly managed. He ought not to be
expected to give a great deal of time
to it, ought to be paid nothing or a
much lower salary than the expert
and ought to give an account of his
stewardship by coming up for reap
pointment or election at fixed inter

PLENTY OF ROOM IN TEXAS.

Some idea of the size of Texas can
be gained from this article: The Texas
ranch of 100000 acres which is re-
ported to be engaging the contempla-
tion of James J. Hill and associates
will comprise about one-twenty sixth
of the land in the Lone Star State.
But within that ranch could be
placed entire the states of Connecticut,
Rhode Island and Delaware, and there
would still remain room for another
Delaware and the District of Columbia.
If Massachusetts,, Vermont, New Hamp-
shire or New Jersey were placed with
in a 7,000,000-acre zone there would
be space for promenade all round
the border
Texas has an area of more than
$4,000 square miles. The German
empire in Europe includes 2OS,S3O
square miles.
The population of Texas is about
100000. Germany's last census pre-
scented total of more than 60,000,000,
yet the empire has some room left at
home for expansion.
BY squeezing Mr.. Hill trife as to
his ranch, the 90,0OO,OOO people of the
United States could still make them
selves at home in Texas, each with al
most two-acre plot.

COST or AMERICAN BAD ROADS.

The shame of the country is what
Americas bad roads might well be
termed in the light of the revelation
offered by the department of agricul-
ture at Washington. Certainly a sys-
tenn of public highways that wastes
305 million dollars to the agricultural
classes each year cannot be classed
among "our boosted institutions" which
the statesmen and the spellbinder de-
light to dwell upon, declares The Wi
mona Independent.
The excess charges of transporta-
ton from farm to market for the
American farmers amount to that many
hundreds of millions each year as COM
pared with the same charges for the
same service in Europe. That means
a sheer waste of profits because of the
neglect of the American people to give
the farmers of this country square
deal i'll the matter of legislation for
good roads. Because the soil of the
country's farm land is rich and pro-
ductiye and the farmers have prospered
in spite of bad roads the lawmakers
have failed to apply business methods
to road building and the Roads of
the Fathers" have been endured as the
Nations great liability rather than uti
lized as an invaluable asset.
1t is obvious that craftsmanship
which opposes good roads in the name
of economy" belongs either to the
mossback or the demagogue. The bust
ness policy that opposes good roads be-
cause they "cost something" is the
policy that makes work for America
to get away from that class of states
manship and to abondon that business
theory that counts the cost of good
roads without taking into account the
loss occasioned by bad roads.
