The learned men who are observing
the antics Of the big comet predict all
sorts Of distress for earth and its people
this summer; men are going to have
trouble among themselves and nations
are going to war. But all this is denied
by a local placer miner, who took a
squirt at the heavenly body the other
day through the long range Of z joint
Of hydraulic pipe. He says the biggest
bunch Of gold-seel1ers ever assembled
together are now headed for central
Idaho, and that this region is gong to
enjoy great prosperity before the year
1910 is past. He scouts the idea that
the combative disposition Of man is
going to assert itself more than usual,
but ne sees good-natured rivalry among
prospectors in the matter Of locating
choice claims; mining men viii play for
greatest advantage, and railroad com
panies viii contend for their choice Of
right-of-way. Our prospector-scientist
is an old-timer in the country, and he
knows.

It seems to be the fashion nowadays
for the man seeking political prefer

HON. II. o. YOUNG
AWashington, o. C. Estimate Of Our Con.
: gressman's Worth and Ability

The twelfth Congressional district of
Michigan. which comprises all of the
Upper Peninsula. probably has more
coast line than any other Congressional
district in the United States. and con
sequently has many harbors and water
way improvements TO be looked after
in Congress in the matter OF appiopria-
tions. For this reason. it is needless
to say it is of vast Importance that
the member OF Congress from this dis
trict to be OF the most value to his
district. should be a member OF the
Committee on Rivers and Harbors OF
the House OF Representatives.
Ever since the present member of
Congress from this district Hon H. ..
Young. came TO Congress he had his
eye on q membership on the Rivers
and Hsrbors Committee. IL was not
until the Sixtieth Congress that he OBJ
tanned this important berth, ana IL was
his own worth that won it for him.
Mr. Young was not alone in his desire
thu he should be placed on this COM
mittee. but the whole Michigan dele
CATION in the House wanted him there.
They evidently realized what heard
a member of Congress say the other
day II like to present a matter to
NJ r. Young. for he grasps situation
quickly. and his judgment is sound. "
AS soon as Mr.. Young was placed on
the committee he began to do things.
First, he began to try 10 straighten
out the tangle at Sault Ste Marie,
Mich. and not only tried. but did il.
For years fight had been going on
there between the two water-power
companies The iGoyernment had
been drawn into it and the result
WAS that the improvement and the
building OF the new lock. at that point,
was held mp and delayed foI years
Against the very strenuous objection
Of.the Friends Of the deep waterway
from Chicago to the Gulf, he succeed
ed in securing the passage OF law
which settled that difficulty and per
mitted the work OF building the new
lock 70 proceed This same bill also
established the principle until then un-
known in the practise Of the Govern
ment. that whore the Government. IN
improving navigation, incidentally
creates or renders available water
power. that water power should not be
given away. but that a reasonable rem
tal should be charged FOR il for the
benefit Of the people Of the United
States.
This years River and Harbor Bill
carries around $40. 600 OlO. and wben
we consider that Mr.. Young obtained
something like 81. 600. 900 Of that. a
mount in the bill for improvements in
Michigan and abont So. 0OO 900 more in
the Urgent Deficiency Bill for the same
purpose. or total of nearly "a. OOc. 900
IL is readily seen that he got his full
measure running over several times.
The Upper Peninsula might send .
man TO Congress who could get more
for the district, but we don't believe
they are produced more than once In
several generations. Brick Bats a.
