THERE is one feature of life
in old Europe for which we
have no exact equivalent in
new America. and that is the
FETES Ga FETE means feast"
or celebration) that are annually
given In many ancient towns and
cities They not only serve to
arouse and perpetuate local and ma
tlonal pride and patriotism, but
they are the delight of artists and
of all persons who have either a
taste for the picturesque or an APP
probation of the scenes of a past
age when they are wildly brought
before the eye.
Possibly our continent is now old
enough. inasmuch as several hun
dred years have elapsed since white
men first began to do things within
its borders, to have something of
this kind to recall its former daysa
but among us the spirit that in
spires fetes is yet generally lack
ing. Perhaps a thousand years
from now there will be splendid
fetes in New York, having some of
the ruins Of its skyscrapers for a
background and serving to recall to
the men and women of that time
what life was on this continent in
the days when the first feeble at
tempts at aerial navigation were
looked upon as modern miracles.
But | have no intention to dis
course on the general subject of
fetes; / wish simply to call at
tention to a very remarkable ex-
ample of this kind of celebration
which has recently occurred in the
old city of Carcassonne, in south
ern France. If you ever go to Eu-
rope you must try to see Carcass
some. There is modern town and
an ancient one, side by side, and
1t is only the ancient one that has
much interest for the traveller. But
its interest is supreme 1t stands
on little hill and it looks-but |
can hardly tell you how it looks,

IN HIS is how business man de-
scribed a young man as
desirable employee and cit
izen:
l. He should take an interest in
his work.
2. Do nothing to injure his health.
s. Hence: Have simple habits.
l. Carry as much life insurance
as his income permits.
5. Have some money, even if 1t be
but little, in bank.
If he takes an interest in his work
he win soon get better place, for
a wise business man is seldom
found who overIooks promising

sometimes.
If he does nothing to iniure his
health he can work with all the
strength there is in him.
If His Habits Are Simple.
If his habits are simple he will
waste none of his income; but he

as he goes on from day to day.
He must carry some life insur-
ance if any one is dependent on
him. And he should acquaint him
self, as soon as he begins to earn,
with the necessity to young man
of this kind of protection.
With a little money in the bank
he is prepared for an emergency
In brief all these five items have
mentioned give him a degree of in
dependence that makes for content

however that countless young men

A Mental Picture.

Suppose the city of Albany should
be deserted by it's inhabitants; then
let century after century pass over

other buildings standing intact;
finally imagine yourself visiting it
and finding it in the same condi-
ton, a thousand years or more lat

some idea Of the appearance of Car
cassonne. only Albany is not
lighting city-eXcept for politicians
and it has no stout walls to re-
sist besiegers, no gates with port
cullises, no loopholes through which
to shoot with crossbows, harque-
busses or musketoons, no donjons,
no barbicans, and no torture cham

city for 500 years-battling against

Lecturing Business Men.

Our business men have been abls
to do all this without Mr.. Wilson's
guidance, and in spite of his poor
opinion of them it is Just possible
that under the guidance OF college
professors these ignorant" and
"provinciap business men of ours
might not have accomplished as
much for themselves and their
country as they did when left to
their own resources.
Mr.. Wilson's dogmatic and d.
dactic declarations have all the
positiveness of the pedagogue who
has theories on everything and ex-
perience in nothing. His Is the Gus
tomary attitude Of the college pro-
fessor who knows everything, hay
ing read it in books, where 1t was
written down by other college pro-
fessors with equally infallible
knowledge based on equally uni
versal inexperience.
1t is an interesting thing to see
college professor lecturing practi-
cal business men on the practical
problems of business from the
musty rooms of one of the colleges
which the practical success of these
business men had enabled them to
endow.
1t must also be an interesting
thing to Englishmen to note that
America is considering the advis-
ability of embarking on free trade
policy, which England is consider
ing the advisability of abandonins
This paradoxical situation IS due
to the fact that England has had TO
her sorrow some experience with
free trade policy, while American
statesmen are educated In the books
Of theoretical English economists
which were written before the free
trade theory had opportunity Of
practical experiment and refuta-
ton.
do not wonder that English
men are interested in this phase 't
American politics, but | think that
the sound sense of American cli-
zens will prevent any foreign coun-
try being unduly benefited at our
expense by the hasty application 'f
the undigested theories OF some ny
our well meaning but inexperienced
statesmen.

They are accommodating in America

Rockefeller, are endowing universe

medical and surgical experiment

Others of our business men, liks
Carnegie, are endowing libraries for
the dissemination of universal
knowledge and maintaining observ-
atories and other scientific estab-
lishments for the extension Of SCI
entific research and the develop
ment of scientific pursuits.
Others again, like Morgan, are

Arrivals from Valdez and Fairbanks on the Mariposa Monday state that the new stage line from Valdez to the interior is making regular trips from Copper Center to Valdez over the old government trail,

 Mir Jennings was in Seattle during the closing days of the campaign, and on election day, He says that the Democratic victory was so complete in the nation that Democrats, Repub- licans and Progressives alike were dumfounded, and none of them had much to say.
 In Washington Ernest Lister, Dem ocrat candidate for Governor made a splendid campaign in about three weeks and his election is source of qualification to men of all parties. California is yet in doubt, but 1t seems probable that Wilson has car ried the state.

Mining and Other
 Notes from IlIiamna

G. M. Chambers, who has conducte' trading station on IllIamna Lake fo the past seven years is in Junea'
 enroute to the sitka hot springs.
 There are some mining pOssibili
 ties in that section according to Mir
 Chambers. The Duryea Brothers have been mining for the past three years
 at a point about half way between
 Cottonwood bay and nliamna lake
 They are operating on a silver and lead property and have lots of ore out ready for reduction.
 Peter Morris who is prospecting in that country for the Amalgamated Copper Company is installing a dia' mond drill to test some ground be. tween Lake Clark and nllamna bay,
 Other parties are prospecting to the Westward of Lake Clark for plac- CT pay. They have had some encour- agement, having cleaned up several hundreds of dollars while carrying on this work.
 Prospecting in the Illiamna coun. try" said MT. Chambers, has not been very vigorous this season on account of the volcanic disturbance of last June."
 Mir. Chambers was at Illlamna when the great seismic disturbance oc- cured on June 6, last. He says that two inches of dust fell near the shores of the lake and that on Kamashak bay, opposite the lake, 1t fell to a depth of one foot. The beach of Kamashak bay had winnows of pum' ice stone piled three feet high. Many of the pieces were as large as 6 mans head and rounded as if by the action of water or through the convulsions of the volcanic crater, which Dr. Martin reports to have been four miles in diameter.
 Speaking of the particular day which brought this all about, Mir. Chambers said: "The explosions were sudden and terrific, breaking the glass in all the cabin windows. And earthquakes followed in quick sue cession. A hat shaped cloud appeared above the mountain and grew to an appalling size. On June g. the place where I lived became pitch dark at three p. m. Every time an explo. sion occurred, we could see the flame leap from the mountains crater and awesome fears stole over us"
 Great damage was done to all the bays and streams-tons of fish were killed by the terrible concussion and the ash which polluted the streams. All of the small vegetation withered and died, Heavy rains, however. have ameliorated the situation some what, the ashes have been washed from the lands in spots and vegeta. ton is appearing again.
