AN OLD FALLACY.

One Of the fixed notions OF the east

Intermountain. Now and then, a west

the west they could make Sl50,000 a

zle is how to remove them to the west
and keep them there.
They came from the older cities OF
the old world, and naturally they set

country, supposing that they could

tailors. carpenters, artists, students,

to change their vocations. but rather
to find better wages in the lines In

LIBERTY BELL.

Some Of the Philadelphia papers op-

west as an exhibit for the coming
Alaska Yukon Pacific exposition in
Seattle. We quote from the Philaiel-
phia Times:
That old bell belongs to the Pacific
coast people and to those OF the west
and of Alaska and to every state In the
union. IT Is proper when such an oc-
casion as an exposition serves that IL

reminder of those days when heroic

one of tho most reliable publications
In the country. are some statistics
which show to some extoDt tho i'm
portance OF tho mining industry.
During the month OF January, 1909,
80 American mining companies paid
dividends amounting to $7,596,667.
During January. 1908, only 22 COM
panies paid dividends. those amount
Ing to s4.7s7, ,403. showing an increase
this past month over the same month
last year of s2.799,264.
These 90 companies which paid div
idends during January of this year,
have paid out In dividends since their
organization $215,26S,564, amounting
to rs per cent of their issued capital
stock.
In addition to these SO companies.
four mining securities holding COM
panies paid dividends during January,
1909, of $1,743.220, and have paid out
since their organization S76.7S9, ,70S. or
107 per cent on their Issued capital
stock
Or these 80 mines, 21 of them are
gold. silver and lead mines, and they
have paid out since their organization
S63,122,S81, an equivalent OF nearly 81
per cent on their Issued capital stock
These figures give some Idea OF the
growing Importance Of tho leading In

the light of these statistics how ridic-
ulous seem the objections urged
against the admission Of Arizona and

Alaska Road Appropriation


 In the house of representatives in congress on Tuesday the $350,000 ap' prOpriation for the construction Of roads in Alaska was stricken out of the army appropriation bill, on point of order raised by some one of those extremely technical mem bers of con- gress who are always trying to stretch to the limit one of the rules. This rule was made to do away with an abuse which had reached alarming propor- tions, that of attaching general Iegisla- tion to the regular appropriation bills. The point was raised on the Alaska road appropriation because there is no existing general legislation on the sub- ject of road construction in Alaska; Therefore, by severely technical con struction, it could be argued that pro- vision for such work constituted new iegislatiou.
 In all probability, however, the pro- vision will be restored in the bill when it reaches the senate. Going back to the house as d senate amendment, it will not be subject to the rale, which applies only to legislation originating in the house. If the senators of the Pacific coast, who are interested in the welfare of Alaska, do their part, the provision can be restored. Indeed, there is a fair chance that a much greater provision can be secured if an earnest effort is made, although the ap- propriation of S35O,OC0 which was in the bill originally was all that was asked by Mai. Richardson, who has charge ot road work in Alaska. But full pre- sentation of the case of Alaska should convince congress of the rightfulness of making decent provisions for road construction.
 When congress deliberately refuses to graut the people of Alaska local self-government, carrying with it the power to raise funds and to construct roads for their own uses, congress can not ia justice and fair dealing refuse itself to make proper provision for road construction in Alaska. Roads are i'm peratively necessary for the develop ment of the territory. The tax upon the people in the interior, due to the excessive cost of transportation over rough trails, is an iutolerable burden upon them from which they can secure relief in no manner save by the federal construction of roads, for the federal congress Is the only legislative body which can provide for road construc- tiou iu Alaska. Congress should either do this for the people of Alaska, or give them local legislature so that they can do the work for themselves. -PI

 "Its guardian against the predatory hand is Father Duncan and his people are the abogigiEals 10 whom 40 years ago he carried the word of God and the ways of civilization-they are his peo- pie, for he made them, and all of the tribes of earth. saving the five notions alone, there is none to compare, for un- der the padre'S guidance they have at- taiued the standard of the white man, without having shoudered his burden.

WOMAN MURDERED

And Then Turned Revolver on Herself
Scene of Confusion in Phial-

Philadelphia, Oct 49, when 4 rela-

went 20 their house yesterday morning
Ne received no response when he rang
the door bell. Forcing his way into the
house bic encountered q strong smell Of
gas and on the second floor in hack
room he Of the house he came upon
scene Of horror On the bed in the room
lay the body Of Mrs. Harpman.
She was fully dressed and blood trick
led from her mouth A small clot Of
blood on her shirtwaist showed where
the bullet entered, while in her hand
she .arasped a revolver. At the foot
Of the bed lay the body Of her husband,
and two powder marks on his shirt
showed that the bullets had been fired
lat close range The house presented
picture Of disorder and violence
In the dining room downstairs, chairs
were upset, dishes were strewn about
and even the carpet was ripped up, in
dicating that 4 violent quarrel had TAX
en- place. 1t is thought BY the police
that jealousy over the affections which
Harpinan was said TO have shown to
another woman, led to the quarrel In
which the wife was beaten and bruised
and that in self defense she grabbed a
revolver and shot her husband. Her
body was covered with bruises and all
over the room blood was spattered.
