FAKE STRIKE AT
IDITAROD, ALASKA
Destitution, No Work. Meals Cost
S1.50-Government Must Res
cue Unfortunate Miners.

General Marion p. Maus, command
ing officer of the Department OF the
i Columbia, has returned from trip OF
inspection of army posts in Alaska
and he reports that there is great
suffering and destitution among hun.
dreds of disappointed gold seekers
who rushed to the Alaskan mining
camp of lditarod, lured by false and
exaggerated reports of gold strike
of fabulous richness that never ex-
listed.
So acute is the distress among the
population of the camp that General
Maus declares government aid prob
ably will have to be invoked to brins
many of the penniless men out be-
fore the winter season is over. Idi-
tarod itself, as an Eldorado where
treasure awaits only to be picked up.
is a mistaken fallacy.
STRIKES" to Be Investigated.
So serious does General Maus con-
slider the condition of those in Idita-
rod, whose destitution has been
caused chiefly by the false reports
sent out, that he intends to have
every future report of a gold strike
that come out of Alaska by military
telegraph investigated that the true
facts may be found and stated.
The general says;
In 1ditarod and vicinity are be-
tween 1000 and $500 persons. The
town is a miserable site. Nearly all
over the place there is mud up to
ones knees. There is nothing there
in the way of accommodations
False Reports Are Great Wrong.
Poor and scanty meals cost $3.50.
Many there are in absolute destitute
condition. They can not secure en-
ployment, for there in none for them.
| will be greatly surprised If large
number are not taken out before the
winter is over by the government, or
other charitable means.
II consider it a great wrong for
erroneous and exaggerated reports OF
great strikes to be sent out, attracting
thousands OF persons, who find, to
their sorrow, that there is little gold
to be had.
"On the way to Iditarod I saw hun
dreds going who had little of any
thing. When they reached Iditarod
they could get no work and practical.
ly became public charges. I venture
to say there will be no more than
s150,000 taken out Of Iditarod this
year, and this is an insignificant
amount for that number OF persons
Register Should BE Kept.
"I intend to have every report that
comes out OF Alaska by the military
telegraph lines Investigated in order
to have the true facts stated. False
reports hurt Alaska and they should
not be made. They hurt the people
there and cause embarrassment
Many old miners seem to have been
bitten by this report Of the richness
of Tditarod
"The government should keep some
register and record OF all who go In
to Alaska. Many go into country who
never come ont One sad example is
that Of Admiral Rogers son, who has
been lost All who 90 in should be

CORRECT PREMISES.

In somewhat wordy editorial the
Richmond Journal takes the Leader to
task for its remarks a few DAYS ago
regarding the late Senator John w.
Daniel. In effect, it will be recalled
the Leaders conclusion was that Sen
ator Daniel while peerless orator in
peace, brave fighter in war, withal q
fine old Virginia gentleman lacked the
quality of constructive craftsmanship.
After laying down number of more
or less imaginary propositions, the
Journal concludes that the editor of
the Leader is a mere stripping. and as
Abe Martin would say, not hampered
by facts or information on the subject.
On the contrary, the editor OF the
Leader is husky. full grown man.
large for his age and his estimate of
the late Senator Daniel was based up-
on what is believed to be correct prem.
Uses.
We paid Senator Daniel some very
high tributes as man, a warrior and
an orator. The editorial in question
was neither cold" nor formal" as
the Journal suggests, but. we believe.
eminently just. If. however, the late
senator was a constructive states
man the Journal has absolutely failed
to establish its conventional failed to
make a case.

INCREASES COST.

There is no more justice in COMPEL.
ing the farmer labor with his team
over bad roads than to expect city
wagons To occupy streets that are in
condition. When the farmer strike $
he city-kept streets his wagon rolls
along as if empty. although loaded to
capacity for the country roads. Poor
;ity streets would mean slow delivery.
This would increase the labor. con
sequently the prices OF merchandise.
High cost of delivery by the farmer
OF market products increases the
purchase price. and with less net re-
turns to the farmer. BY increasing
the load, prices are decreased to the
consumer Yet at the same time. the
producer gains by reason of less la
Dor heavier wagon loads, fewer trips,
and trips to market possible i'm all
kinds of weather. We should take
these and other known facts into con-
sideration and cooperate for good
roads.

UNDEMONSTRATIvE KIND.

We have studied Blueheld, its peo
pie, its commercial possibilities ana
its general traits and characteristics
pretty thoroughly, but we must con.
TESS that there is one quantity which
has us guessing-its patriotism. Will.
we believe that there are few more
patriotic spots in North America. We
are forced into the conclusion that
the brand is of an undemonstratiyc
kind. For instance practically all tho
towns of any consequence in the sur.
rounding country pulled of big one

solitary exception. Hinton, half the

Why Farming Requires system.

Calculating on the basis OF the origi.
nal value of the land the farmer is
making money. Calculated on the cur
rent market price at which he could
withdraw his investment and put il in
interest-bearing industrial securities.
he is losing money every time the
seasons revolve. In many sections of
the country farm values have doubl-
ed. even trebled, in the last genera
ton. and that has been worked on
the basis calculation of from IS to
$40 an acre, must in the future re.
spond to acreage value OF from $75
TO $500. The old generation, with its
obsolete methods, which has persist.
ed solely on the excuse of cheap land
or gift land-must give way before
the new generation. The newcomer
as a farmer today, has to meet the
changed conditions, and it is to these
conditions that the business of farm
ing must respond. The question of
fixed capital has come to stay. We
are not yet out of our first genera
ton as farmers on grand scale. This
lrst generation is taking it's hand
from the pillow, and those who follow
the pioneers, either through deed OF
sale or probate, must hereafter reckon
interest on investment as an actual
item of cost. Farming as an industry
is in its transitional stage, and it is
to meet the new conditions IN busl
ness-like way that experts have been
giving their attention to the question
of devising a sysem of cost account.
