Conscience

When DR.. Cook returned with the
statement that he had been to the pole
lots of people disbelieved him; but they
didn't KNOW. 1t was Science, sitting
by the fireside, that figured out to the
fraction of mile where he had been
and fixed the metes and bounds of his
gigantic falsehood. The scientists
made figures, which, unlike the doctor.
couldn't lie. This accomplishment has
given science considerable boost; and
we hope to see the day. when some
authorized body of learned men, sitting
at Tanana or some other central Alas
kan point, will turn the searchlight Of
knowledge on each recurring report of
rich gold strikes and give out informa-
ton that will make the business of
stampeding less uncertain industry.
1t is true by such means the wild rush
for wealth would be robbed of much Of
the JOY that ever goes with taking
chances; but it is money we are all
after, and scientific knowledge is gol-
den. BY all means let us have royal
geld locating society.
AS far back as l3l B. c. astronomers
were occasionally rewarded by what is
called IA nova, or new star, which sud-
denly flares up in the heavens and
fades away again, after lapse OF "a few
hours, days, weeks or months. Such
new stars are not altogether rare.
Since the fifteenth century no less
than sixteen have been recorded. In
our own time they are discovered with
fair frequency. On Feb. p, 1901. for
example, a new star blazed wonder
fully in the constellation Perseus and
was first seen by the Scotch astronomer
Anderson. 1t grew brighter, faded,
and then regained something of its
former brilliancy. The constellation
Perseus is so distant that the light of
its stars, flashed through space at a
speed of 1861 miles second, reaches
the earth only after lapse OF 120
years. What the Scotchman really
saw, therefore, was light that suddenly
Aared up in 1881, while the American
colonies were establishing political
principle by force of arms analogous to
one sought by Alaskans to have re-
asserted at the present day. Some Of
these new stars are of such magnitude
and 5rilliance as to be plainly visible
at MONDAY. Their fitful cleaning is
accounted for very simply by the mod
ern astrophysicist. Two giant suns,
chilled to black cinders. but still i'm
prisoning within their frozen shells a
fierce heat and compounds of terrific
explosive energy, crash together in a
celestial head-on collision. When the
catastrophe occurs each sun is rushing
through space at a rate of 400 miles a
second. The impact develops such
tremendous energy that the arrested
bodies glow with a light compared to
which our sun is as frozen candle in
comparison to the concentrated cApac-
ity of the Tanana Electric Company at
Fairbanks before that concern went
out of business and left it's workmen
in inpenetrable gloom. The remain
der OF the suddenly generated energy
is spent in twisting the fragments
around common center at speed Of
hundreds OF miles second, SO that q
huge celestial pinwheel is created,
which finally cools down and goes into

SENATOR LODGE REPORTS
HIS COMMITTEE INFORMS THE
SENATE THAT THE REAL CAUS-
Es ARE HIGH PRICE OF FARMS
AND "coRNERING."

Washington, June 24.-After several
months Of desultory work in an effort
to ascertain the causes of high prices
of foods and other commodities the
Special Senate Committee, of which
Senator Lodge is Chairman, has
evolved voluminous report, which
was submitted to the Senate yester-
the majority, the Democrats refusing
to sign it and reserving the right to
send in a minority report when they
have had the services of an expert to
go over the testimony and the figures
and assist them in coming to some
conclusions.
This report is long one, containing
besides the views of the Republican
Senators, reports of Consuls and a
commodities now as compared with 10
years ago and subsequent years. The
majority report reaches the conclusion
that the tariff is not responsible for
high prices; in fact, that it was mo
material factor" in causing the ad-
vances during the past 10 years. In
stead it assigns as the reasons a long
list OF circumstances extending from
the increased value of land to modern
advertising and including immigra-
ton, migration and a variety of sub
jects.
1t also finds that food products have
advanced to a greater extent than
manufactured articles, as, for in
stance, those from the factory It also
ascertained that the advance in wages
was not in proportion to the advance
in the cost of living. A study of con-
ditions existing in other countries is
given, and the conclusion is reached
that the advance in prices has been
worldwide. Much of the language of
the report is a paraphrase of a
speech delivered in the senate by Sen
ator Lodge. the chairman of the COM
mittee, before the investigation was
ordered. The committee complains
that it was handicapped in it's work
and in its efforts to get at the facts

Causes Of High Prices.
The majority of the committee
found that of the many causes contrib
uting to the advance in prices the fol-
lowing were most marked:
Increased cost of production of farm
products by reason of higher land val
ues and higher wages.
Increased demand for farm products
and food.
Shifting of population from food
producing to food consuming occupa-
tons and localities.
immigration of food-consuming To-
calities.
Reduced fertility of land, resulting
in lower average production or in in
creased expenditures for fertilization.
Increased banking facilities in agri-
cultural localities, which enabled farm
ers to hold their crops and market
them to the best advantage.
1t was found that this not only
steadied prices, but had tendency to
increase them.
Reduced supply convenient to trans
portation facilities of such commod-
tiles as timber.
Cold storage plants. which result
in preventing extreme Quotations of
prices of certain commodities with the
seasons, but, by enabling the whole
salers to buy and sell at the best pos
sible advantage, tend to advance
prices.
Increased cost of distribution.
Industrial combination.
Organizations of producers or of
dealers.
Advertising.
Increased money supply.
DISQUALIFICATION.
Higher standard of living.

Jeffries was up bright and early to
take fall out of the altitude. He
took part in a baseball game and tore
around the bases in Ty Cobb fashion.
After that he and Jim Corbett went
a couple of miles IN the road from
the training camp. where they engaS-

The last race was at 100 yards. Jeff
got five yard jump on Corbett at
the start and at the end was fully ten
yards in front.
Corbett is some Splinter himself
and thought 1t was pipe to beat JEFF.

that he did bit. but that he would

Made Hit With Crowd.
The manner in which johnson
spoke of Jeffries made hit with the
crowd. and as he climbed into an auto
and was whirled away to Kicks re,
sort, where he will put in his finishing
touches. the mob gave him a great
cheer.
Johnson broke camp in San Fran
cisco last night, leaving there on the
8 o'clock train. He had chartered a
special car earlier in the day, and
the entire party at the Seal Rock
house with him. Al Kaufman. Geo
Cotton and Dave Mills were the sparr-
ing partners to accompany him. Jack
figures these three men will give him
all the work he needs.
Johnson said that he would rest up
