ing of Election Presents a
Grave Problem.

Mexico City, June by official
decree issued by Mexico's provision
al president Francisco L. De La
Barra, a special presidential election
was called. In all states and terri
tories electors will be chosen on Oct.
l and these will select the successor
of Porfirio Diaz on Sunday, Oct. 10.
Governors ere instructed TO define
and publicly announce prior to June
80, electoral districts in their re-
spective states and territories, using
for purposes of apportionment the
census of 1910.
De La Barra fully realizes the
immense responsibility he has assum-
ed, and men who were prominent in
the conduct of the revolution do not
understand the difficulties that will
be encountered in holding open cleo
tions in Mexico. In small towns and
distant rural communities there
doubtless are thousands to whom the
word election conveys little or no
meaning.
Election returns may be slow in
coming in and it is not improbable,
admit representatives, Of both the
old government and the new, that
in few districts the result will be
hopelessly tangled. however. those
of both factions have tacitly agreed
that since this is the first attempt at
genuine voting in more than thirty
years, they will not be over particu-
lar; that they will do the best they
can.
REYES WORRIES THEM.
1t remains for the various parties
to select their candidates. At pres
ent Francisco l. Madero, Jr., is the
only man whose name is certain to
be printed on ballot. Reyes will
will be in the capital in a few days
and it is evident that mis- coming has
made some of the Maderists nervous.
The general has not declared that he
will not be candidate and until he
answers the question supporters of
Madero will not be entirely at ease.

$I7,4OO,OOO IN 1910

The value of the mineral out put of Alaska in 1910 is estimated at $17, 400, 900; of this the value of the gold output was $16, 369,- 900. The copper production is estimated to have been 5,6O0, 900 pounds, valued at about $74O, 900 The value of other mineral pro ducts, including silver, lead, gypsum, marble and coal, is estimated at S3OO,OOO.
 The total value of the Alaska mineral production since 1880, when mining was begun, is, in round numbers $186, 900, 900, of which h$179, OOO,OO represented by the value of gold output.

winter of 1890-91 he asked Con- gress for an appropriation to begin the importation of reindeer from Siberia. He did not get it, but he did raise $2, ,00O by private subscription, and with this sum began his reindeer experiment. It was a success from the first, and in 1894 Congress appropri- ated $6, to aid the good work. Later on and for a series of years the appropriation was raised to $25, annually.
 This enabled Dr. Jackson to prosecute vigorously the intro duction of reindeer, and herds of many thousands are now per manently established along the Alaskan coast. The future of the natives of Arctic Alaska has thus been made sure.

DR. SHELDON JACKSON
 A Statement by the Superin- tendent of Documents, Washing ton, D. C.:
 Dr. Sheldon Jackson'S annual illustrated reports on the intro duction of domeSticated reindeer into Alaska record the official history of one of the most remarkable and successful be- nevolent enterprises in which the Government has ever engaged.
 Dr. Jackson, who was Presbyterian clergyman, first visited Alaska in 1877, and after 1885 made yearly visits as the agent of the Education Bureau for the promotion of education in that region. He soon became impressed with the belief that the sources of food supply of the 10000 natives were disappearing. The white man was eXterminat- ing or driving away the whales, the seals, the walrus, and the caribou, which had furnished these arctic and subarctic people their only means of subsistence. In the summer of 1890 Dr. Jackson saw that unless help were speedily given, the Govern ment would be compelled either to feed the 10000 or to see them starve. The idea came to him that reindeer might be domesti- cated as well in Alaska as across the straits in Siberia. The white moss which no horse, COW, sheep or goat will eat, but which is the reindeer's natural food, grows as plentifully in one country as in the other. When Dr. Jackson returned to Washington in the

As in previous years, the lack of cheap fuel is one of the great hindrances to the advancement of the mining industry in Alaska. So long as the Pacific seaboard of Alaska and the adjacent portions of the inland region have to de- pend on expensive coal brought from British Columbia, Japan, and Washington, so long will the industries of the Territory sui fer. With coal at $8 to $20 a ton along the Pacific seaboard of Alaska, even mines located at tidewater are at great economic disadvantage. Under such condi- tions only the richest and largest ore bodies can be mined at a profit.
 Tie railways are at a double disadvantage. In the first place, they are paying from $11 to SIP a ton for coal used in operating, which should cost only $2.50 to $3.5O;---

GOOD NATURE PAYS,

The man who "gets mad" is dis
liked by everybody. His best
friends "make allowances" for
him. which in itself is a confess
sion of his weakness Of character.
The man who smiles and keeps
his temper at all times, even when
beset by annoyances and provo
cations. ELECTS the admiration or
others and wins their confidence
and esteem. Thus good nature is
really a business asset, and no.
where in the world is valued more
highly than in this country As
a matter of fact it is a great deal
easier for the goed-natured plea
sant-mannered fellow to go
through the world than for the
crouch or the touchy individual
who is always looking for sights
and finding them where they do
exist. Education in this charac-
teristic seems to begin at schsol.
The "smarty" who gets mad and
won t play soon finds him or
herself an object Of derision. And
the teacher, too. who permits her
temper to get the better Of her
soon loses the respect of pupils.
So the common experience al.
school is to the effect that where
many people are thrown into con-
tact good nature must prevail. 1t
may be that the general outward
good nature here considered has
its reaction in private and things
are evened up in the privacy OF
the home. Perhaps there is more
Of this than we know. but. after
all, on the whole it IS likely that
Americans everywhere nearly il
not quite as good nstured as they
seem to be. Coed nature pays in
peace of mind. and in absence Of
regrets and also in dollars and
cents in the matter of business
dealings.-Lafayette Courier.

THE GALL OF THE COUNTRY

years about the danger of with
drawing our people from the coun-
try and concentrating them in our
cities. Can we reverse or even ar
rest that tendency by substracting
from the profits Of the farm and
adding to the comforts Of the city :
No, sir, if you expect intelligent
and worthy men to answer your
call Of "back to the farm" you
must make farm life more Attrac-
tive. and you must help the far
mers to improve their homes and
beautify their surroundings. I

any man could prefer the city, with
