 Other railroads. including the Canadian Northern. which also ex- line in operation in 1914, or before and the Great Northern. which, with Hill stealth and foresight. has al ready completed the most difficult part of a Canadian road from the lakes to the coast, are also going to help the fair financially.

 Dad Morton. an old '9Ser. of Valdez. over whose head 1S winters have passed. was passenger on the Alameda enroute to the states. Dad" had a placer claim at Valdez and but little else of the worlds goods. He has not been Outside for 13 years and was extremely anx- ious to visit his many old friends in Colorado and other mining dis
 ricts where he. in his earlier days, handled the pick and shovel. Well, he boys of Valdez are miners at heart, so numDer of them took ten dollar share each In his claim and filled his big wallet until 1t was fat. and got him of on the Ala meda. It would have been difficult 70 say which was the happier the boys who did this kind act or Dad" who was so anxious to see old stamping grounds once more.
 The boys were afraid that by some possibility the claim might turn out rich so they had the papers drawn for Dad to retain a quarter interest It seems that in a case like this that the good Lord ought to cause the claim to be lined with gold for these are the kind of men who make life worth living.
 Up at Tiekel an old Colorado miner was robbed by gambling sharks. and then because he thre atoned to roar he was thrown in jail for three months because he took stick of wood off a friends woodpile to cook his din ner with. That Is the other side etwelvvet enat the manner of theh of life. One was in mining camp, the other in railroad camp. - Co., Ipya rTrufb

WALK PROVES HE
 FOUND POLE
FRIENDS SAY 55 MILES IN 15 HOURS REFUTES CHARGE
 OF CRITICS.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6. - The of ficial report of Captain Robert E Peary's recent walking test as pre- scribed by the navy department just made public, is, in the opinion of his friends in the navy, the strong est possible refutation of the argu ments advanced by critics who have questioned the time the explorer captain made over the ice on the return from the North Pole.
 Captain Peary selected December IS, 19 and 20 for the government test. On the first day he walked 9 miles in six hours and 45 min uts; on the second day p miles in : hours and 26 minutes, and on the third day, five miles in 1 hour and 25 minutes.
 In other words, he walked U miles in l5 hours and 39 minutes
 Returning from the North Pole to the point where he left Bartlett to the point where he left Capt. Peary covered 150 miles in three days, ar average of 50 miles day. The journey northward from Bartlett re quired five days, an average of 50 miles day.
 Friends of the captain say that his naval tests prove conclusiVely that 50 miles a day over the ice on the memorable return from the Pole was not an unreaS -nable dis tance for him to have covered.
 Proceeding north from Bartlett the time consumed in covering the 152 miles to the Pole was neces sarily slower because it was an ad vance into territory through much of which the explorers party had literally to beat it's way.
 In the light of his recent walk ing achievements Captain Peary, in the opinion of many naval officers has shown how fit he was while ill the Far North for hard and steady going under conditions that would have discouraged weaker man From Cape Columbia he made a round trip of 955 miles in A days an average of little less than Is miles day.
 Captain Peary will appear before the house committee on naval affairs tomorrow to answer a running lire of questions concerning his polar achievements.
 A subcommittee met today and discussed the question of recognition of the explorer by act of congress particularly the bill introduced by Representative Bates of PennsylVa mia to retire him as a naval con structor with the rank of rear ad- miral.
 The meeting of the subcommit tee was lively. Bates moved to re nort his bill favorably to the house Macon, of Arkansas, who has beer priming himself fer attack, immedi ately objected. He said that il Peary were to be recognized 'her Dr. Frederick A. Cooks claims tc attainmen mt of the pole also should be recognized, for the one had cor roborated the other and the stories told by the two were alike in i'm portant particulars, especiall' around the pole.
 The result was an invitation tt Pea-y tu appear ar furnish h'> proofs.

All but mother cried and cried
When they said goodby that day.

Not the slightest bit upset

Others eyes were streaming wet.
But when John came back again
n On furlough, safe and sound,
With medal for his deeds,
And without single wound,
While the rest of US hurrahed,
Laughed and joked and danced about,
Mother kissed him, then she cried
Cried sad cried like all git out.
