CAPTAIN SCOTT FLOODING

The news from Captain Scott of the
British antarctic expedition is disap.
pointing, to be sure, but in no way dis.
conraging. The captain is obliged to
stay another winter in the antarctics in
order to complete his journey to the
south pole. That winter is now Just
beginning, and we may fairly expect
that by next January or February,
news may be had from Captain Scott,
with practical certainty that he has
visited the south pole. He will prob.
ably find there the markers and relics
left by Amundsen, which will apprisc
him that he is not the first to reach
the pole: but il will. at the same time,
assure him that he has reached his
goal.
II would have been fitting sequel
to Lieutenant Shackleton route ma ..
ping expedition toward the south pole,
il British enterprise, courage, and en-
durance had been the first to reach it.
But that was not TO be. Yet there is
good reason to expect that British ten
acity and pluck will carry Captain
Scott TO his destination, and that when
we hear from him, perhaps early next
year, the news will be that he has sue.
ceeded, He will probably also be able
70 add very much To the world : IN
formation about the antarctic regions,
and will be entitled to rank high in
the list OF true discoyerers. even
though he was not the first TO reach
the south pole.

that building will show up a thing of
beauty and a JOY forever We believe
also that we "can put the Job
through without even the suspicion
of graft. and can only feel sorry for
other commonwealth that have suf-
fered. as so many of them have griev-
ously suffered in the past, in the con
strnction of their State capitols. Penn
sylvania and New York are distinct
examples of the thing that ought not

warnings TO Utah. Besides. we do not
believe that the graft spirit has en-.
tered at all into this business, and fully
believe that graft will be kept out
from first TO last.

RESOURCES UNDISCOVERED.

Every once in while some great
economic expert calls public attention
TO himself by his doleful forebod,ngs
OF the oncoming exhaustion of this or
that natural resource which is indis
pensable to civilization. First il is coal
that is exhausted then iron, then the
fertility Of the soil, and so it goes.
But those who are conversant with the
facts that immense resources lie within
the earth undiscovered. do not take
on anv terror by reason of such an
nouncements. They know, through ex
periences in mining and otherwise. that
when one deposit Of any given sub
stance is exhausted. there will be found
even greater deposits somewhere else.
That has been the experience of the
world. and that experience is practi
cally certain TO he repeated Infinitely.
Not only so, but. as we have seen
so often in all this Western region,
right where the foot of man has trod
for generation, there will he found
riches beyond measure The new min
ing camps of Tonopah and Goldheld
in Nevada are examples Of this; the
ground whereon the finds were made
had been run over for forty years.
Seven Troughs, again. where shepherd.
ers had made their pens for thirty
years, is another example. A more re
cent example is that in Pennsylvania.
where, within 240 miles of Pittsburgh,
100 miles from Baltimore. and COO miles
from Philadelphia. an immense deposit
of rich hematite iron ore has been dis.
covered. A mining engineer, Mr.. J, n.
Grassland. in searching for an exten
sion Of famous coal vein, found this
iron deposit. which is now estimated AT
not less than billion tons, 1t is prac-
tically a mountain Of pure iron, in
which the dross has been burned out
by nature A suggestion has been
made, to be sure, that there may not
be a billion tons in the mountain; but,
on the other hand, il is even more like
ly that the ore deposit goes down into
the depths, and that there may be two
billion tons in place Of one
And so. when we read the croakings

world is about to come by reason Of
the exhaustion Of some prime neces.
sity, we take courage in the reflection
that there is unknown wealth yet car
ricd in the earth in places undrcamed
of, and that this wealth will be dis.
covered in time to save the race, prob
ably for millions OF years
Besides this, the resources of science
are getting down To practical useful
ness in such way that VIC may be al.
lowed to indulge in the lively hope
that even though coal should get a lit.
tie scarce and high, we shall have in
our immense and widely distributed
resources of water power a "whitc
coal' that will very largely take the
place of the coal deposits and do the
power work Of the world with even
more efficiency, with less smoke and
noise, and to the infinite benefit of
humanity in every way.

HE WANTED A KISS.

A Kansas young man, possessed
of unusual aptitude for cultivating
the friendship of the fair sex, en-
listed for service in the Philippine
Islands about the time of Dewey's
naval victory in Manila Bay, and
after being on the firing line some
time, where he saw some rough
skirmishing, wrote back home to
a friend as follows:
"For fifty-fve days l never saw
a woman. Fellow citizens, il you
want to appreciate woman get
away from her. You know what
the Creator did when he performed
the first surgical operation on
Adam. If you want to know what
a grand, glorious, sugar-coated
thing a woman is, join the army as
1 did-see nothing but men from
morning till night. Join the army
and loaf with men, carry men, shoot
men; men, and nothing but men.
Living in perpetual atmosphere
of suppressed profanity, boot smell
and tobacco smoke, and at the end
of three weeks you will be passion
ately enamored of the mummy of
an Egyptian servant girl, and give
her all electrical kiss that would
turn her thousand years of dried
hide into renewed flesh and vel
veted animation"

YOU with solicitude at all times. Ii
you are sick, it is sorry for you and
hopes you will soon get we'll; IT

YOUR house burns down and you
