WATCH YOUR sLUICE BOXES.

The lesson to be mastered from the reported sluice box robberies in the Fairbanks district. is for Nome and Seward Peninsula miners to watch their boxes to see they do not suffer Il repetition uf what took place year ago about this time. when many of the sluice boxes were robbed by gang of well organized thieves.
 IL Is always to late to lock the stable door after the horse has been stolen, time to preserve and conserve Is when one has possession. The nights are now setting dark. and min CTS who cannot afford to hire watch men, or do not work a double shift should not tempt the thieves by leav. ing much gold in the rifles. There is no telling whether the same gang op- erating in this vicinity are here or not. so one had better take no chances.

The question of having the grand Jury investigate the boycotting carried on last spring is meeting with the hearty approval of all the business men who are anxious some step should be taken. They believe in fair play and would like to know just how far organizations can go in the matter of maintaining a black list and boycot ting other institutions just because they happen to patronize some indi- vidual. or individuals with whom they happen to be at outs.

We believe the visit of our executive was one continual round of pleasure. so- cials, dinners and receptions while in the inland metropolis. That the only incident to mar his good time being the illness of his wife.

 It Is no easy matter to travel Into the Arctic. and lose oneself for a pc riod of four and one-half years. liv- ing in Eskimo huts, having only such for companionship day in and day out for months-yes years.
 Stefansson and his companion. Dr R. NJ. Anderson. have done all this
 
 their life to advance the cause of science of natural history as related to the Eskimo. and the fruits of their victory will not be paid in dollars and cents, but in more lasting reward known as fame and a monument for posterity.
 Tha rraHft tAna. t,.~o explorers will constantly rebound to their credit, they had the courage to undertake and carry 10 a successful issue that which many would balk at i; but courage reduces the distance to any summit, provides the energy to surmound any and all obstacles and centage against one dwindles in pro- portion to the persistence they pos- sess.
 With youth. physique. brains and courage to back their undertaking 1t Is little wonder the two explorers, V. Stefansson and Dr. Anderson, succeed ed in accomplishing that which they undertook That the time required was four instead of two and one half years Is not to be wondered at. To master any problem requires time, and to do the work we'll the equation of time should not be one of the most important factors, there are many other reasons more prductive of req, success to be taken into consideration.
 Both Stefansson and Anderson are to be congratulated in having accom- plished so much. We here in the far Northland. constantly surrounded and thrown in contact with the Eskimo, are not so liable to appreciate their good work so we'll as the people in the more settled and staid cities of the outside still in a measure we can realize they have accomplished much and will await with patience to see the results of their expedition. after full details have been published from data gathered by them, and turned over to the respective officials of the American Museum of Natural History in New York.

Coalgate, Okla, Jan. 24.-Al-
though every effort was made to
stampede the Fourth congressional
district republican convention in ses-
sion here yesterday for Roosevelt
for president, Taft was indorsed by
11S votes to Roosevelt's 80. Immed-
lately after that vote was announced
James A. Harris of Wagner, state
chairman, was indorsed by the same
vote for national committeeman.
"Chic" Miller and G. A. Ramsey
were elected delegates TO the national

marked a distinct victory for Harris
and defeat for Dynamite Ed Perry
of Coalgate, dictator of this district.
Scarcely had the convention opened
when terrific dynamite idetonations

city. Dynamite" Perry's cohorts
were celebrating. After Perry had

the Great was made the occasion to-
day of patriotic demonstrations and
celebrations throughout Prussia.
The. city of Berlin is gaily decorated

Emperor William reviewed those
regiments in the garrison which
were first formed during the reign

Louisville, Ky, Jan. 24.-Democratic
leaders in various parts of the country
profess to foresee the doom of Gov
ernor Woodrow Wilson's presidential
ambitions in the recent chain of events
that climaxed with the desertion of
the Wilson ranks by Colonel Henry
Watterson. the 72-year-old editor of the
Louisville COurier-JOurnal.
"Marse" Henry has renounced the
New Jersey governor because, he ex-
planned, he expected to find in him
statesman, but found, instead, a

man might this be whose simple word
can make or break a presidential can
didate?

but he only served two years. He re-
fused to be reelected.

in 1888, when urged to stand for cleo
tion to the senate. "Ofice is not with
me. Beginning in slavery to end in
poverty, it is odious to my sense of

Watterson stood for honest money
and the national credit when his party
was almost one for irredeemable pa.
per currency. From the outset he led
the cause Of free trade, and it was
"Marse" Henry who coined the battle
cry, "a tariff for revenue only" He

by local dealers to mark the end Of

HIDES COVERED
IN PACKER COST

Chicago, Jan. 24.-Although no
allowance was made for hides in
1903 and during a part of 1910 in
figuring the test cost of beef, books
of the National Packing company,
presented in the packers trial to-
day, show that in that period the
corporation received from the sale
of hides S3,669,050. The govern
ment contends that by not allowing
credits on hides in this period the
packers materially increased their
test cost of beef and were enabled to
raise the price to consumers without
showing an excessive profit on their
books.

MENINGITIS EPIDEMIC
BEING FOUGHT IN TEXAS

Austin, Texas, Jan. 24.-With a
view to allaying the excitement that
exists among many people of Texas
over the present meningitis epidemic,
the state health department has is
sued a statement showing that the
disease had prevailed in different
portions of the state for the last IL
months and that for the IL months
ending Nov. so, 1911, the total num-
Der of deaths from it was 261. Full
reports of the number of cases since
Dec. l last have not been received,
but they are estimated to be about
500. The average death rate is about
| 35 per cent. In the first few weeks
/ of the epidemic the death rate was
about 60 per cent, but the use of
| Flexner serum and the observance of
rigid sanitary rules and measures on
/ the part of the people have brought
about a remarkable decrease in the
number of deaths.
Dallas has been the storm center
of the disease since the outbreak be-
came virulent. In a statement to-
day DR.. Abraham Sephian, the New
York meningitis expert, who went to
Dallas at the request of local physi-
clans there to aid them in combat
ing the disease, says:
I'VE have 5S cases in the city hos
pital and of these l believe so pei
cent will recover. There are per
haps - or 20 of them now who are
practically ready to go home, bu
we are keeping them here few
days longer in order that there mal
be no risk of their giving the dis
ease to others.
; Il consider the situation well il
hand, and, though we may eXpec
more deaths and more cases, the fu
,ture looks bright. We are working
on an immunization process which
if successful. will prove a perma
nent safeguard against catching spi
nal meningitis"
: DR.. Sephian did not explain tn
: nature of the suggested treatment
: He said that it might give immuniza
tion for only about year, but tha
he had hopes of producing perma
