GOMEZ CONCESSION
 IN GRAVE PERIL

Havana, Nov. 7.-La Noche pub fishes a statement that the Railroad Commission is considering the revo- cation of the concession to the North Coast of Cuba Railroad, which was granted by the Gomez Administra- tion. The reason given is that it is illegal.
 This concession is the one against which the British Ambassador at Washington protested to the Ameri- can State Department last winter, al leging that it injured the interests of the English-owned Cuban Central Railroad It grants a subsidy suffi- cient for the building of a road from Calbarien to Nuevitas.
 The concession is held mainly by Americans and Cubans.

WHAT DOES MARS WANT?

If the inhabitants of the planet Mars are really signaling the earth with blue lights, as Prof. Le Coutrc, the Percival Lowell of Switzerland, insists, what can they expect to learn from this unenlightened globe? Of course, the Martians know we can give them only advice while inter- planetary communication is in its present undeveloped state. We might, conceivably, rig up signaling ma chine at enromous expense, and ac- quire the knack in time, of answer ing a few simple questions. But in regard to governing ourselves intel ligently, regulating our lives in ac- cordance with weli-established facts, obeying natural laws, settling trivial disputes without bloodshed, we can tell them nothing that people so old and wise as the Martians must be do not know already.
 In fact, this statement that Mars is looking to us for help of some kind would be saddening if it came from a more authoritative source. We are confident, however, that if

IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN.

It is almost enough to make a sen timental person shed tears of real an- guish when one stops for d moment and contemplates what might have been had the local railway system completed it's line, even as far as the Matanuska coal fields.
 What splendid. profitable traffic, both in passengers and in freight, this railroad would now be reaping if the line had been built to the coal areas.
 It is but a step, comparatively speaking, from there to the Nelchina gold fields, which bid fair to evolve into one of the most important camps in Alaska. Indeed, the Nelchina dis trict has the earmarks of an enor- nous placer field. A railroad line al most to it's door would be a tremen- dous aid to it's development.
 This recent gold discovery goes to show one thing, and that is that rail- road companies, as well as other bus mess concerns, have got to take a chance. It is impossible, in a new and undeveloped country such as Alaska, to always see in advance where the traffic is coming from. Build the line and the traffic will be there all right.
 But it is not too late to take ad- vantage of this opportunity. Here is gold camp that will maintain a railway without a coal tonnage. And in time, but perhaps not within the lives of those now living, the coal fields may be opened to development Seward Gateway.

OFFERING TO REWARD THE IN-
 OBVIOUS.

A dispatch from Nome says that, as result of the recent destructive storm there, the beach is again spread deep with auriferous sand, and that more than enough gold to make up the damage suffered by the little city will be taken out of it when work can be resumed net season.
 There is more than hint in that of the almost incalculable wealth which lies under water off that bleak coast, only waiting for somebody to come along with ingenuity enough to raise it to the surface. That some body so equipped will arrive sooner or later is certain, and tben-the cost of living will go up faster and furth- CT than ever, if one school of eco- nomists correctly interprets the movement of prices.
 The rivers and glaciers have been adding steadily to the deposits under Boring Strait ever since Alaska rose above the sea. That was not very long ago, as a geologist views time, but the period covers good many centuries, and the amount of gold is now doubtless large enough to war rant operations on an etensive and expensive scale.
 To go after t with submarine tunnel would seem to be rather promising plan, but presumably that plan has already been considered by the experts and for some good req son or other rejected as of present cticability.-New York Times.

first charge that the printing contract
was let without a call for bids. The
people of Ravalli county have been
anxious to have the matter settled.
They have not taken sides, but they

No other petitions than the one at
Corvallis have appeared yet, but sew

Modern Women
xXx.-WOMEN IN SCIENCE.
By Frederic J.. Haskin.

The time within which it has been
easy for women to secure advanced
scientific education is comparatively
short, but the work they have ac-
complished already has been of prac-
teal value to the world. AS yet few
have attempted solitary research, but
their efforts have given assistance to
men who have had long experience
and, therefore, a greater amount of
self-confidence. Madame Marie
Curie, the celebrated discoverer OF
radium, possessed the. ability to
lead the world in scientific research
although his ability doubtless would
have remained dormant had not her
sympathies with her husband led her
to devote her own energies to work
for which, it developed, she was e
better qualified than he. MADAME.
Curie has been refused admittance to
the French Academy of "Immortals"
because of her SEX, but her scientific
ability was so we'll recognized that the
University of Paris is glad to give it's
students the advantage OF her wis
dom, SO she holds the chair of pro-
fessor of physics and has received
every n the scientists of the
world can bestow upon her, AS a
young Polish girl, Madame Curie's
educational opportunities We're linn
tied but her discovery has paved the.
way for the later Woman scientist to
achieve a more liberal recognition.
Before the. days of Madame Curie,
an American woman had o greater
honor in astronomical science than
any other oma in the world. Maria
Mitchell, the first professor of as
tronomy in Nassar college, had little
but an %undaunted will to help her in
making her studies of the skies.
Miss Mitchell discovered a new m
and by so doing won the gold medal
offered by the king of Denmark for
the discovery of a new telescope
comet. This discovery was made
while she was eking out her living by
acting as librarian in the Pawtucket
library at the salary of one hundred
dollars a year. But the position
gave her time and opportunity to
study. and thus made possible her
greater work. Miss Mitchell visited
Europe and received the homage of
all the distinguished scientists of the
day. Since her Heath many women
astronomers hav exhibited unusual
skill in computation and are filling
positions in scientific institutions, but
as yet no n has won from her the
credit for original discovery.
The standards in astronomy founded
in Vassar college by Professor
Mitchell still give that institution the
lead as regards that particular science
among the other colleges for women,
and continual research work is going
on in connection with that observa-
tory. An interesting work which

ing done to call to the attention Of
tie country the d~emoralizing and de-
grading influence of the so-called
"ragtime' Or syncopated music" To
a person of common sense and judg-
ment, the modern rag is a torture,
a din of notes which ought to be pro-
hibited. But it is not the air of this
stuff that is its worst feature; the
words, themselves, are what are do
ing the damage to youthful American
innocence, by creating a false stand
ard of modesty and a totally wrong
idea of what should be lofty sentiment
and nigh ideals. Sillier rot never was
written than the average stuff com
posed Sy these modern "professors,'
and it is time such music" was abol-
ished.

A TRAITOR.

Leesburg, Va, is a peculiar town. 1t
contains a citizen who wrote a letter
t. Washington newspapers protesting
because the last wished on
the place a $4,000 postoffice, in spite
OF the fact that the population is only
1000. This citizen evidently wanted
congress to take back what it evil
IDENTIFY had handed to Leesburg on a
platter. The news wires say that this
protesting citizen claimed to have the
support of others. Shades of the pork
barrel! What Is the country coming
to? Here is a congressman with a
pull and he Immediately uses said pull
to present each citizen of Lecsburg
with $3.50 worth of property and is
called down for it. 1t makes no diff
ference that the mayor Immediately
arose in his place and declared that
the building was needed worse than
anything else, he cannot overcome the
fact that the town has a traitor who
cares more for decency thar for poli-
tics. We suppose that by now the
double dyed traitor has been hanged,
although there has been no such story
given u as yet.
