ConquerIno grief.


Tho world endurss its grief and sor-
row with stern and stoical temper. 1t
o gets over the Arst severe shock
Of great oatastrophss. ever those cost
ing many lives. It IL charged with
growing callous to bruises. But that
charge, 1t seems to VI. somes 4 little
wide Of tho mark.
What II the world did not quickly
recover from it, sorrows? What II
people gave In under the weight OF
every grief that came crushing down
upon them? They would soon have
no strength to endure. no power to re-
rist: they would become mentally and
spiritually emaciated. This recupera-
tive force we display 10 not indi1sr-
cnce, not unfeeiiny; II Ii . sort Of
heroism. a philosophy that makes
man stronger than his most powerful
adversary. makes him equal to the
crisis, no matter what It may be.
But In a superficial sense, take the
train OF disasters that go stalking
before us and imagine our giving away
before any single one. whether It be
devastating food, earthquake or the
Titanic tragedy At seA. and what .
.ugubrious race We would DON be-
ON to stay and overweep at the
tomb OF u sorrows.-Omaha BeA

Depth Of Ocean.

It appears that the depth Of the
ocean at the place where the Titanic
sank was something over 10000 feet,
or approximately two miles. The
place where the Inflated ship went
down was not by any means the deep
est in the Atlantic. The greatest
depth Of the North Atlantic Is sup
posed to be the depression about a
hundred miles to the north Of st.
Thomas, where the soundings indicate
1875 fathoms, or about four and one
third miles. The floor Of the basin
proper OF the Atlantic. at Its widest
part, lies at a depth Of from 1000 to
5000 fathoms. while tho plateau" ID

than 1000 fathoms. 1t was on the

ROCK PAVEMENT NOW
 FOR JUNEAU STREETS

This rock will have to come down the hill, and the company has no use for it. It strikes me that 1t would be good business for the city to get
 it and replace the rotten plank streets with solid rock thoroughfares. Perhaps the city council will take some action on the matter-I don't know"
 "A short walk about town disclOses the fact that the following streets could be improved by giving them rock foundation: Lower Franklin, up to Fifth; all of Front; Seward to Fifth: Main to Fourth; Gold, Second to Fifth; all of Second, Third, Fourth and Fifth. These streets are travelled over constantly and when not fioun- dering through mud one is in danger of going through a plank with dire results.
 The rock is coming out of that tun- nel ard little shute would land it almost where 1t is needed. Now, what will our city dads do about it?"
