Where to LOOK ,or Heroes.

Through many generations the hab-
It OF mind has become fixed and with
rare exceptions We look fer heroism
on the field of activity alone. It is
easy to see in the midst OF battle
where men are struggling with each
other. easy to see In the cab OF the
locomotive which is rushing to de
struction as the engineer stands with
his hand upon the throttle, easy to sec
in the collision at sea when superhu'
man strength or restraint are exhibit
ed. and yet how family do these In
stances compare with the herolsm Of
the sick room or the solitude. when
there is no excitement to nerve one
to a mighty effort. AlmSst anyone can
fight. hut there are faS who can en-

dure and wait Most Of us can talk
but only few can keep silent. Many
there are who can give generously;
few there be who can receive grace
fully The spectacular Is easy, the
commonplace is hard. And we are
mostly commonplace. But after all
there is the field OF the heroic and
there the glory OF humanity is won.-

Wealthy Nephew Of Diaz Wan Atten

Ending a courtship which began in
Cuba, crossed into Mexico. slipped
back into Colorado, skipped over into
Canada. and finally to Connecticut, Isl
doro De La Tore, young and
wealthy nephew Of the former Presl'
dent Diaz Of Mexico, married Miss
Callie Andrews of Brooklyn, an
actress.
Mexican politics helped make the
course of love far from smooth. When
his uncle was forced to leave Mexico,
De La Tore. whose father had been
an adherent of the former president
found It necessary to leave. too In.
deed, De Ia Tore was told that II ne

throat cut.
So he came to this country, and aft.

the Caribbean Sea, and any way the
gouthern Cross shone brightly In the

said so TO almost anybody who would
listen to him, but especially to Mist
Andrews. She listened TO him care
fully.

company and Cuba in a hurry and
went to Mexico City.
That was precisely where the young
man could not follow her Dc La Tore
wrote bushels of letters to Miss An,

Miss Andrews relented enough to
so to Pueblo, Colo. and there her lover
met her, ard there was another quar-.

peace Miss Andrews vanished again

where she was located by Senior De

INTERIOR WILL PAY THE
 FREIGHT.

the Valdez chamber of commerce last Saturday night cannot fail to impress the members of congress and readers generally with the sense of fairness expressed.
 The resolution does not con tain any sentiment hostile to the building of railroad by the gov ernment from any port on the coast. The broad ground is taken that the railroad if constructed will be for the development of Alaska as a whole and especially the interior portions. This is the proper course to adopt. The ocean terminal of d railroad built into the interior of Alaska will un- doubtcdly become prosperous city by reason of the business di- Nrrtrd through it's channels. IL is natural that the citizens of any coast town should use every en- dravOr io have the government Sr- feet their town as iiir terminus for Inc railroad. Bul prosperous towns or cities nn the coast will not aid in reducing llr cost of freight to the great interior of Alaska in d minimum if inc route which presents tn" most advan- laErS iS not selected. The mi tlal cost of construct ion iS some times lost sight of in cnnSidrr- ing the necessary annual expense of maintaining extra miles of road. The pioneer tranSrnnIi- mental lines in the Sial"S ar" spending millions of dollars io shorten their roads in order that faster service and cheaper freight raicS may hr possible. The Alas ka trunk line if built will moi br a temporary experiment but for all tiur. The business which the railroad can reasonably expect for h" first few years is as nOth- inl in comparison with that which will be offered in d decade OF two. The expense of main taining extra miles of railroad and operating trains over them will all have tO be paid by the business to and from the interior.
 The Valdez route to the interior possesses advantages over that of all others. The Valdez bay has no superior harbOr on the thou sands of miles of cOaStlinc of Alaska. It would afford safe an nh frp ;pr fnnI .,f in nI nation and is admirably adapted for defensive purposes.
 The distance from Valdez 10 Fairbanks is shorter by many miles than any other possible route which may bc selected. The grade of inc route is less than any other and presents no dilli- cult tasks of rn&inpcring in con Slruciinn and operation tn" whole year. The government road would necessarily parallel a good pnr- lion of the railroad. This would effect d great saving in Inc trans poriaiion of supplies in advance of the rails during construct ion.
 When the government built the overland road from Fairbanks iO lid"walrr it's engineers chose the shortest and most superior route. which was from Valdez. The abil- fly of tn" engineers who Srlrcird ili" route has never been qurs- toned and applies with force in he argument why tn" railroad should be built from Valdez to the interior.
 The selection of the Shorirsi and best route by the government for the proposed railroad is of vital importance to the citizens of interior Alaska, as they will be the ones who will have Io pay the

speeches.
Roosevelt will speak next Saturday
night, In Portland, Maine. II WAS
stated today he will leave here Satur-
day morning for Portland, and come
back Immediately after the meeting.
Roosevelt left no way open for re-
moyal OF the personal issue between
him and President Taft. In his later.
pellations at Carnegie hall, he spoke
in ridicule OF Taft's present attitude
toward public questions. He sum-
moned his most dramatic methods,
using his famous falsetto tones, IN the
most severe attacks on Taft to whom
he referred as ''fossilized." His man
ner and his method left no ground
for question that he will carry the
fight on In direct opposition to the
president.
Col. Roosevelt's speech was deliv-
cred before a crowd which filed the
hall. So many persons wished to hear
him that an overflow meeting was
held in q smaller hall within the same
building. The street in front OF the
hall contained a throng OF persons
who were unable to gain admission 10

received with marked enthusiasm.
