From Bear Creek

Mr.. Murphy, who has been in the
Bear Creek country came out this
week and brings with him news Of a
rich strike made on the property Of
Geo. Connor and D. L. Roy. A four
foot ledge upon which have been made
surface cuts shows ore that goes from
$588 to 81, to the ton. The Kim
berly people have 300 pounds of ore
that is going two ounces Of gold to the
pound, being of such richness as to
allow hand mortoring at profit. The
Mt. Marshall people have secured
ample funds to continue development
work on their property and the Good.
enough will install ten additional
stamps on their property. The lnde-
pendent, owned by Murphy u Gala
han, will be developed this summer
and the Bear Creek Mining Il Tun-
nell Co., will also push development
work.

FIRE SUN DAY.

The fire alarm was turned in late
Sunday afternoon, a fire, the origin
of which is unknown, having broken
out in the barn owned by Mrs. Jos.
Sorrow. The company responded but
on account of the distance from thes
fire house and the inflamable mater
ial the building was beyond saving
when the company arrived.
There being no hydrant in that vi
cinity it required practically all the
hose the company has to reach the
blaze. Good work was done, however
in the saving of other buildings. The
loss, which is between $400 and $500
was not covered by insurance.

Deep Waterways.

Advocates Of the development on a
mammoth scale of deep waterways are
inclined to feel encouraged by the at
titude Of the president toward appro-
priations for river and harbor improve
ments. While some of the canals pro-
jected or under construction may be
considered local in their benefits,
further development may extend the
benefits over a vast section and so be-
come national blessings. The Atlantic
coastwise canal system which is pro-
posed would surely be Of national i'm
portance in time of war against enc
mics attacking the coast. Distances
would be shortened and navigation
made safer between Maine and the
gulf by inland channels across New
Jersey and the Carolinas.
Our existing canals, built by and for
the public, served their purpose we'll.
When private capital began to build
railroads canal construction was
checked. Railroads annihilated space,
great consideration in the days of
development. They were well paid for
it and will always get the cream of
the traffic. We now have the problem
Of cheap transportation to meet. and
it is conceded that carriage on water
is cheaper than on land. By cutting
waterways across necks Of land, espe-
cially far projecting peninsulas, water
transportation can be made cheaper
still and the time shortened. This is a
matter for public enterprise, interstate
and national, ........ .

Spirit and Discipline at West Point.
The very idea of insurgency has vim
in it, and it may be that the cadets at
West Point were carried away by the
drift of the hour when they rebelled
against an unpopular instructor. They
hazed him, not as they haze their fell
lows, but by stolid silence and refusal
to eat in his presence A breach Of
discipline Of the kind is certain to
bring swift condemnation, because it
is blow at all authority. The law of
the army is "obey first and protest
afterward."
Judging from precedent in the mat
ter of West Point hazing, however, this
outbreak Of spirit at the Military acad-
envy will not be dealt with severely
It is not an easy matter to punish a
whole cadet corps. Perhaps the affair
will result in giving cadets chance to
voice their grievances from time to
time in a respectful and dignifed man
ner. In this case the Objectionable in
structor is from Missouri, and the ca
diets may have adopted the silence"
treatment and gone supperless to bed
as the best way to SHOW him.

Birds as Farmers Allies.

Birds as Farmers Allies.
Every year there comes a protest
against the American way Of permit
ting birds to breed and fatten. The
sparrow especially is objected to as an
agent of destruction without redeem
ing trait. But bird experts do not
place the sparrow on the blacklist.
and some even have a good word for
the crow and hawk. Many bird de-
tenders have gone so far as to urge
farmers to feed the birds in extreme
cold weather in order to have them do
the work Of weed and insect Destroy
ers in the spring.
1t is discouraging to have birds at
tack the small fruits and even pluck
up seeds that have been planted. But
it is contended that at the worst the
birds protect more than they destroy.
Some of them eat weed seed, others
eat up insects that if left alive would
destroy young plants, and others attack
mice that would play havoc in grain
stacks and bins if left alive. It is true
that some birds may be allies Of the
farmers in one section and farm pests
in another, so it is unfair to condemn
indiscriminately the sworn foes Of
birds.

Defense 81 the Panama Canal.

Defense Of the Panama Canal.
The pros and cons on the question Of
fortifying the Panama canal are end
less. Directors and the timid seem to
infer that If the United States fortifies
the canal it will violate pledged faith
and amount to an assumption Of abso-
lutte ownership and control Of the
great international waterway. Those
fine points IS to whether the fortif-
cations will destroy the neutrality
which has all along been assumed can
be cleared up. if necessary, by a new
treaty or declaration. 1t is provided in
existing treaties that no act Of hostil-
ity shall be committed in the canal,
and the mere existence of forts does
not imply that the United States will
fire on the first belligerent entering the
canal.
Civilized and responsible nations will
doubtless respect the neutrality Of the
canal. But it's nearest neighbors can
not be relied on. Revolution and law
lessness are conditions which must be
taken into account in that region. The
United States should be prepared at
all times to defend the canal from at
tack and to maintain it as an open
neutral waterway.

The unole Remu. Memorial.


The address Of Theodore Roosevelt
In the Atlanta Auditorium is In the in
terest Of a memorial to Joel Chandler
Harris. The association having the
matter in charge proposes to buy Mr..
Harris old home, "The Sign Of the
Wren's Nest" and preserve it for the
public. Mrs. Harris, who loves to call
herself "Aunty Remus," rather pathet-
!cally says that If she were going to
live always she would not consent to
sell the home; but, as she is not, she
wants it preserved as it was in her
husbands day. To purchase the cot
tage and so much Of the ''Snapbean
EARN" as has not been allotted to Mr..
Harris married children will require
$4,000. Capitalists are said to have
offered the entire amount, but the pro.
moters Of the enterprise prefer that
the money come from popular sub
scriptions, and in this laudable desire
they will have the cordial support of
lovers of Uncle Remus the world
around.
Joel Chandler Harris was an edito-
rial writer on the Atlanta Constitution
and started his immortal ''Uncle Re
NUS tales to fill temporarily a column
usually written by Sam Small. They
instantly became popular and shortly
were published in all English speak
ing lands and translated into twenty
seven languages. Mr.. Harris was an
abnormally shy man, who moderated
his own fame, refused to read from
his own works and scarcely ever ap-
peared in public. He regarded the
writing Of his many books not as a
task, but a recreation. He worked
with his children about him and
scarcely ever erased a line. He de-
clined important editorships, prefer
ring the simple life Of the "Snapbean
Farm" There, with his children, his
stories and his roses, he was COM
pletely happy. There is romance in
the way the place got it's name. Two
wrens built their nest in the mail box
at the door, and Uncle Remus refused
to have them disturbed. Henceforth
the Harris cottage was 'The Sign Of
the Wren's Nest.''
The author Of "Br'er Rabbit and
the ''Tar Baby" was fond of 1.-THE
Vicar of Wakefield" which he said was
his earliest inspiration. he himself
had many points in common with the
writer Of that delightful tale and might
not be inappropriately named 1.-The
Georgia Goldsmith"

Henry murphy and His squirrels.

Henry Murphy and His Squirrels.
Henry Murphy Of Baldwin takes
great interest in the gray squirrels
which inhabit the hollow trees near
his house. He feeds them from his
corn crib and permits no prowling
hunter to shoot one of them under
peril of being pitchforked and, in con-
sequence Of Henry's kind treatment,
the little animals are not bit timid
in his presence. Instead of scurrying
up tree when he energies from the
house they run toward him and climb
upon his shoulders, where he gives
them morsels which they are fond of
and for which they show their CRATE
fulness by whistling and switching
their tails. Henry says one squirrel
contains more gratitude than six
average republicans. "And their
intelligence is truly remarkable, +"
says he. ''For instance, one morning
at about daybreak I was awakened by
something scratching gently on my
face and, upon opening my eyes was
surprised to find Jennie, one of my
tamest squirrels, sitting upon The bed
cover and with her was little fellow
about half grown which had broken
leg. Someone had evidently shot it
and the big squirrel had brought it
through the open window of my room
for me to render surgical assistance.
l bandaged up the little fellows leg
and the two departed. I see the
patient every day around the yard
and believe that within week or
two the leg will be all right. Yes,
sir, the intelligence of squirrels is re.
markable.''

Fighting Forest Fires.

Officials of the United States depart
ment of agriculture are Of the opinion
that 1910 will hold the record among
many years for the severity Of the
losses from forest fires. The summer
fires followed spring season believed
to have been the worst, certainly in
the lake states, known for long time.
Nor is it wise to assume that the dan
ger is over when the fierce confagra-
tons which have called forth in the
mountain states the efforts of three
federal departments have been con-
quered. The forests will not be safe
until the fall rains and SHOWS have
once more made a wet blanket Of the
dry forest floor. That the total losses
Of the year will run up to many mil
lions of dollars is considered certain.
The Importance Of systematic pro-
vision for the early discovery Of forest
fires and for getting properly
equipped force Of fire fighters quickly
to the scene is insisted upon by Chief
Forester Graves. zone Of the funda-
mental principles in fire protection"
he says, 'is to detect and attack fires
in their incipiency." Assuming quick
arrival at the fire, adequate force and
equipment and a we'll organized crew,
the essential thing is skill in attack
and in fighting. A front attack is rec
commended by the forester where such
methods are possible. Otherwise the
flames may be led to cleared space or
to water where the fierce front flames
will be checked. "A fire is never out
until the last spark is extinguished,"
says the forester, and adds that at
least one man should be left for days
if necessary to patrol the edges of a
burned district until certain that no
log or snag smoldering unnoticed har-
bors danger
