UNTIMELY INDUSTRY.

know man who always seeks for work, some wealth to earn, and bitter tears roll down his cheeks, since we his offers spurn. He simply cannot understand why he's turned down again; there is no comfort in the land, he says, for working men. When sizzling summer days are gone, and howl ing blizzards blow, he comes around to now the lawn, which is knee-decp in snow. ''I want to shovel snOw," he cries, when August days art hot: in winter he would swat the flies, when there is none to swat. On week days he will bask at ease, but when the Sabbath comes he oils his elbows and his knees and then he fairly huns. The shingles may let in the wet, but still Inc stands alO0f until there's rain and then, you bet, he wants tC fix the roof. This man, who rep rescnts class, is always shy ot dough, and his declining days hell pass out where the paupers go If you would gather in the seeds training with the trifing lads and do the work that cOunts.-- Walt Mason.

PLACER GOLD DISCOVERED
 IN NOVEL MANNER

United States consul at Winni-
 peg, Canada, reports to tho de-
 partment at Washington the find
 ing of a new placer field in Man
 itOba as follows:
 The discovery of gold in the crops of several turkeys has started gold rush for Manitonas, 257 miles northwest of Winnipeg, and hundreds of miners from all parts of Canada and the United States are flocking to the new gold fields. Minitonas is a town of 24O inhabitants on the line of the Canadian Northern. The land, upon which hundreds of claims have been staked, is private land, and the owners thereof must be reimbursed for any damage that is done to the surface. To guar antee this, the law of Canada re- quircS that for each and every claim staked out the person reg istcring it. must deposit bonds 10 the extent of $500 with the Do- minion lands agent at Dauphin, which is the nearest land office to the new gold district. This is due ln the fact that there is practically no unOccupicd land in the district, although the govorn- menL retains the mineral rights, and privately owned land may be stakcd for claims by anyone who SD wishes, even though the owner is using it. for raising crops or for paSturagc. The mining dis trici, according to the best infor- nation Obtainablr, is a placer proposition, and placer mining ruins the land for agricultural purposes.
 Reports from the land office at Dauphin indicate that the place is bcsicgcd with applicants who desire to register claims Stakcd in the new mining district, and the trains leaving Winnipeg every day arc crowded With prospectors and others bound for the new fields.

SQUARE DEAL LEAGUE
 WANTS HOME RULE

The Alaska Square Deal Lea work. While it has not aban- dOncd the other features in it's program, the activity of other OF ganiZatiOns in other directions has permitted this organization to c0nlnc it's work largely to the question of Srlf-gOvrrnmrnl for Alaska. IL has secured several thousand indurSrmrntS for it's program, including many hun drcdS from the north, and it has ca. ricd on a vnluminOuS c0rrcS- pondencr with newspapers throughout the United StatcS, thousands of which have publish- ed it's appeal for an elective ter ritnrial form of government for the north. This organization is also represented at Washington. Among those on the ground are William PiggOit, the president i; Charles G. Heifncr, who was pres idcnt of the joint Alaskan com mitLce; Louis K. Pratt the Fair banks lawyer, and other Alaskans. They will be joined later by Ma jor J. F. A. Strong, the Alaskan newspaper man, E. R. Dunn and John l..

MONEY FOR DEVELOPMENT.

Aside from any benefits which may result from favorable legis- Iation at the hands of congress through granting appropriations for roads and for the building of the dyke the coming summer promises to be banner season for Valdez.
 This camp has passed through it's stage of probation and is now being accepted on it's merits. Ev- cry mining man who returns from the outside does so prepared to develop the property in which he is interested. There has not been a single instance where miners have failed to float their propOSi- lions when they had merit back of them and would stand invrS- tigaliOn.
 There will be no boom such as usually attends the opening of new mining districts but the in- crease will be steady and healthy. Each week will witness an in- IltlliD'l VI lt = sundrr development with a pay roll steadily increasing in volume. A few miners may be employed in opening up a property and in blocking out the ore, but fifty or sixty men, or many times that number, will soon find steady rm- ploymrnt in some of the proper ties in this section.
 The miners in this district have not been in financial position to develop their own properties but they will soon have the assistance necessary from capital which is being attracted to the camp. There will be a demand for prop critics, but indications point to reversal of the conditions which existed last season. The class of mining men who will come here will be the kind who are willing 10 take chance with the pros pectOr if there is sufficient merit 10 his find. This is evidenced by inc fact that few outright sales have been reported, while money for development has been avail able in nearly every instance. The DrOSprctOr who holds his ground al a fancy price with q cash payment down before the property can br developed will find Il necessary Io do his own assessment work before the end of the year.

MOTOR BOAT MAKES
TRANSATLANTIC TRIP;
VOYAGE TOOK 24DAYS

QUEENSTOWN, Aug. S.-Having
weathered a succession of terrific gales
and breasted high seas, the S5-foot
motor boat Detroit, Captain Thomas
Fleming Day. of New York, has ar
rived here safely from New Rochelle,
N. Y. The journey occupied nearly "a
days, and constituted the second leg of
the contemplated trip from Detroit,
Mich, to St. Petersburg.
Great crowds including officials, well
coined the boat Captain Day said he
had proved the feasibility of a motor
boat race across the Atlantic. The
crew stood the trip well, though
cramped space resulted in stiff limbs.
The Detroit arrived with 200 gallons
of gasoline left from 1900 aboard when
she started. The fluid caught fire in
the engine room once and was eXtin-
guished with difficulty. The fresh wa
ter turned foul and thirst was one Of
the crews trials.
The Detroit will remain here for a
few days.

Headquarters for
South To Be Opened.

At the very outset it is expected that
such headquarters will be established
in one of the cities of the Southern
states. For the first time in years an
actual contest over the presidential
election is to be waged below the Ma
son and Dixon line, and a hot and
strenuous campaign begun to break the
solid South"
Plans as now outlined will catapuit
the colonel himself into the Southern
territory at the very outset of the cam
paign. 1t was determined on for two
reasons-first, because the Progressive
leaders believe there is a chance to get
a part of the Southern electoral vote,
and, second, because they believe that
directing a fight into the very heart Of
the Democratic stronghold will start
affairs with a rush that will give them
an advantage throughout the campaign,
putting the Wilson followers more or
less on the defensive
All this was discussed today by Colo
mel Roosevelt, Governor Johnson, Jo-
seph NJ. Dixon head OF the new Pro-
gressive national commimttee that
came into being yesterday, and the
other men who will conduct the fight OF

candidates.
This is the tentative plan of cam

lined today by the candidates them

leaders of the movement in a series of
conferences that began when the first
national convention closed last night
and that were continued throughout
this morning.
The convention adjourned last night
after naming Roosevelt and Johnson,
governor of California, to head the
ticket. and adopting the most radical
platform ever approved by a national
political convention.
The campaign is to start at once. The
work of organization will begin as soon
as the work can be undertaken. Offices
will be opened in New York and Chi

fairs, and other headquarters will be
established where they may seem most
