William c. Dronberger retired chief engineer of the United States navy. and his Chinese wife, are now in the West, where Mir. Dronberger hopes to get the Chinese agency of an automobile manufacturer.
 To a reporter the girl wife told the story of her romance and of her love for the handsome lieutenant who came into her life when she was but a girl
 In the early nineties, when the old U.. S. S. battleship Monocacy was sta toned in Chinese waters, Mrs. Dron' berger, then a little girl, first met her future husband. He was so attracted by her charming personality that he immediately determined to have her educated. with a view of her becom- ing his wife. After he had sought her family and gained their consent she was brought to America and educated here.
 She was a particularly bright schol- ar at the Girls Academy in German town. After graduating she returned to her home to again meet her fu- ture husband, and their courtship was renewed beneath the beautiful lotus trees of the Flowery King dom.
 Lieut.. Drouberger found that, while she was as devoted to him as he was to her, she so abhorred war and all that went with it that she was averse to marrying a man whose profession was warfare. Thereupon he resolved to retire from the ser vice. But just then came the Boxer uprising, and Lieut.. Dronberger, like his brother officers, was compelled to do land duty. During conflicts that ensued the girl suffered mental tor ture Finally she followed the course of the troops and marines in order to be near him at all times. In telling her story she denied that he was ever captured and that she did the Poca' hontas act to save his life. But she was a veritable daughter Of the regi' ment, and the men from the Amer

Most persons imagine that China is unprogresslve because her people are dull and stupid. They contrast us with the Japanese, who, they say are quicker to accept American customs and Western ideas, but that is not true. Tre Japanese are the best i'm itators, but the Chinese are the true originators. Take, for instance, much of the literature of today, Take the nursery rhymes, even. Why, Mother Goose and all those nursery songs are the first efforts of our old or scholars, and we have been the cause of many of these things be- ing handed down to posterity.

JUNEAU TO HAVE
 FOOTBALL GAME.

An effort is being made to arrange a football game to be played in Ju- neau on Christmas day. The con- testing elevens will be made up of Juneau's young athletes although the lineups are not complete at this time,
 The Juneau high school boys are to be coached and managed by Earl c. Jamison, who is said to be a star quarter back. Another experienced player known to be in the high school lineup is II. Fremming, who played end in a local team of Tacoma, For the most part, however, the high school lads will be a bunch of raw material, rioting enthusiasts when Jamison takes hold of them.
 They are to face a picked team from town of which little is known, but by the time Christmas rolls round good bit of interest will have been aroused.
 The high schol lads are already busy and are making overtures for the Elk's hall for practice and have wired for nice new uniforms in anticipation of the coming contest

A BIT OF JUNEAU's
 ANCIENT HISTORY.

George Pilz, who according to Chas. Wells, is really the discoverer of Ju. neau. at the time of the discovery was superintendent of the Stewart mine. 12 miles back of Sitka. It was a ten.stamp affair and was owned by Portland, Ore, people. It was Pilz who grubstaked Richard Harris and Joseph Juneau to explore this section. They came here about May 1, 1880, and remained until Sept. 15, returning to Sitka, taking with them some sam ples of rich rock. They again came back and staked more ground, MT, Wells came over with them on this trip and he located what is now known as the Ebner property.

that the only satisfactory way to eat
an orange is to go out to the barn
floor where there are no carpets, re-
move all your clothes, and proceed
to enjoy the juicy golden sphere.
The annual ripening of this crop of
concentrated sunshine suggests that
authorities on etiquette are not fully
agreed as to what is the strictly Or
thodox way to capture its aromatic
nectar.
1t is highly probable, that if you
should write to the editor of the
Ladies' Home Journal, he would tell
you to use the pointed spoon common
ly found on the hotel table. Still, the
juices of the yellow ball are so tightly
held together, that the least misplay
of spoon or the slightest over-use of
force sends the yellow fluid squirting
out on the best table cover. This
does not promote the movement for
universal peace.
Much could be said in favor of the
good old fashioned way of removing
the skin and dividing the fruit into
the segments created by nature for
just this purpose. The purist in man.
ners may say that such democratic
handling of food by the fingers is more
suited to the kitchen than the dining
room. Still the practical considera-
ton remains that thereby you retain
every drop of this precious ambrosia.

THE CITY BUSINESS MANAGER

country. instead of adopting the COM
mission form of government, have in
stalled municipal business manager,
whose duties are exercised subject to
control of the council. One of the
first to adopt this plan was the city of
Stanton, Va.
Casting about for a plan to increase
the efficiency of its municipal govern
ment, the council committee, after
much correspondence and investiga-
ton, decided that the Calveston-De
moines plan promised best results.
The constitution of Virginia pre-
scribes rigidly the form of government
for cities the size of Stanton; a
mayor and council of two chambers
must rule. A constitutional amend

THE CHRISTMAS TREE.

Few customs have such a hold as
that of distributing Christmas gifts
on a real evergreen tree.
Somehow there seems to be no
Christmas spirit without it. Many
poor families feel it so keenly that
even cheap artificial tree of tin foil
foliage does something to create a
holiday atmosphere.
1t all goes to show that at times
when you drop life's more sordid am
billions. nature rather than dollars
produces real happiness. On Christ
mas eve the bronze chandelier, de-
signed and fashioned by cunning
workmen for hundred dollars, seems
like so much rubbish. The little bit
of real greenery from some desolate
mountain side, lighted with candles
the obsolete method of illumination
used in the inconvenient home of our
grandmothers, seems lovelier and
more pleasing to normal unspoiled
human nature.
The best things in life are not pur-
chased with cash. If you keep the
heart of child. you are happy be-
cause you enjoy simple pleasures
within your reach. If you don't keep
the heart of child, the most ex-
pensive luxuries are merely like SO
many broken Christmas toys the week
after.

THE RIGHT DISPOSITION

The public service companies have
learned that the good will of the peo-
pie is a valuable asset. Without ex-
ception corporations. although enjoy
ing a monopoly, have found it to their
interest to work with the people they
serve whenever possible. While this
disposition toward the public is pro-
htable It is none the less commend
able. When the corporation deter
mines to meet the people halfway
they should be willing to go the other
half. The public finds that it too is
better off for having a close acquain-
tanceship with the men who are try
ing to do something for them. Better
service and more kindly feeling ex-
lists when each knows the aims and
purposes Of the other. The rabid
hatred OF corporations passed away
when the public be damned" policy
OF the corporations was abandoned.
Last week the Idaho Traction Co..
gathered together a number of the
residents of Boise. Caldwell, Nampa
and other points along their lines.
These people were the guests of the
company and many expressions of in
terest and kindly feeling were given
by those who looped the loop. 1t
gave them chance to get acquainted
with the people of neighboring towns
as well as see the real work that had
been done by the electric railway
company. As future questions and
difhculties and probably disputes
ARISE. as arise they will. the men who
went over the line will be disposed
to take a broader and better view of
the question or dispute. They will be
inclined to mete out exact justice to
all concerned. In the past the average
man has felt as though he owed it to
society to gouge corporation when
ever the opportunity presented itself,
The corporation on the other hand
felt that in order to play even it should
do likewise and little worse if pos
sible. The result was ill-feeling on
both Sides feeling that could &C
complish no good and had no reason
for being in existance.
The work that the men who are
building electric railway lines is a
most necessary one. 1t builds up and
develops the country on the one side
and affords profitable use for money
on the other. The capitalist is bene.
fitted by finding employment for his
money; the common people by the
benefits and conveninces which easy
transportation facilities gives. This i.
case where everybody concerned j:
made better. richer and happier. 1t i.
no wonder that all can get togethe,
in the best of feeling.
The Tribune is very glad that we
have among US such splendid men az
the representatives of the Mainland
interests have shown themselves to
be. These representatives should be
glad that they are in such country
and among such splendid people.

PEACE ON EARTH, GOOD WILL
TOWARD MEN,"

In all the world there is no holiday
so generally observed as Christmas
(Christ's Mass). 1t is emphatically
children's holiday. And there is moth
ing so we'll calculated to instill the
spirit of Christ in the hearts of men as
caring for the little ones.
from the time when the Church
conbatted the pagan superstitions and
celebrations of the winter solstice and
the German Yule day by the story of
the Manger and the dramatic birth
of the Christ child. Christmas carols
have praised the Newborn and human
hearts have warmed toward the little
tads on this holiday as no other.
Doubtless every one of US can re-
member in childhood the keen disap-
pointment experienced when some ex-
pected or at least hoped for gift was
not received. When the hope and
longing for some little Christmas re-
membrance, some little of kindness or
token of love; when the keen cry for
relief from gaunt poverty, the sob
from the mothers heart as she sees
her little ones hang up their stockings
on Christmas Eve, knowing only too
we'll that they will be empty on the
morrow; are unanswered, year after
year-who can measure the disap-
pointment? The worlds greatest joys
and the greatest sorrows mingle
strangely
In many of the larger cities several
of the fraternal orders make it a
yearly custom to distribute baskets
of food and gifts to those not so we'll
favored by fortune. In Our own COM
munity, blessed as it is with so little
actual poverty, surely something can
sbe done. In all the city of Caldwell
there should be no child's heart sore
on Christmas morn because the stock
ing was found empty. If the business
men of Caldwell are too busy or do
not know where help is needed, the
pastors know, the chief of police
knows-and all will only be too glad
to distribute any help rendered in the
spirit of the holiday.
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1912-12-20

ment was not considered feasible, just
at that time. The council, however,
was found to have power to create
any Office it might wish.
Retaining the mayor and council, an
ordinance was passed creating the Of
flee of general manager for the city,
to whom was given "entire charge and
control of all executive work of the
city in its various departments, and
the entire charge and control of the
heads of departments and employees
of the city" His duties are to make
all contracts for labor and supplies,
and Fin general perform all the adj
ministration and executive work now
performed by the general standing
committees of the council, except the
finance, ordinance, school and audit
ing committees" Besides "the gener-
al manager shall discharge other du-
ties as may from time to time be re-
quired of him by the council" To his
duties the manager devotes his entire
time.
BY this plan the business activities
of the city were brought under one
head, closely co-ordinating the work
of the different branches. There was
one purchasing agent for all city
supplies-which effected very sur
prising saving in the first year-more
than enough to pay the entire ex-
penses of the Office, in its entirety.
The books of the city are always
open to the citizens, and at the end
of each days business the manager
can tell exactly how the city stands,
financially. The bills are collected
and paid promptly each month. The
council controls all expenditures. The
managers proposed OUTLAWS are first
authorized by the council whenever
the items exceed 500. After the
amounts have been expended, the bills
are audited by the councils auditing
committee. In this way the managers
expense items are subject to initial
authorization and to auditing-ample
checks. x
Staunton's first business manager
also acted as city engineer-combin-
ing the two Offices, which resulted in
a trial plan with but little additional
expense in the way of salary. The
trial was extremely satisfactory from
every point of view.
What has been done in Stanton
and many other of the smaller cities,
can be done in Caldwell. They have
greatly increased the efficiency of the
municipal government, have lowered
taxes, have made many improvements.
There is no reason why our own city
cannot do likewise. The city council
can employ manager; if he proves
incompetent, it can promptly fire him.
1t is mighty costly to get rid of an
elected commission.
The plan combines many of the ad-
vantages of the commission form of /
municipal government, with few of its
its disadvantages. 1t has one recon-
mendation which will appeal with. \
strong force to all citizens just at !
this time; it will cost very little to /
try it out.
