ENTHUsiAsM AND PROSPERITY

The study of statistics is at best a very uninteresting pursuit, in which the average man indul- ges more from necessity than from choice. Notwithstanding this fact we would direct your atten- tion to a collection of figures which when compiled in their en- tirety will prove an exception to the rule. We refer to the records for the year 1912, which will evi- dence the great activity of our country in it's commercial rela- tiOns, both at home and abroad; it's stupcndOus bank clearings; it's bumper crops. The careful study of such a review cannot fail to be a source of inspiration to the reader, and to prove beyond the peradventure of doubt that the year just closed was the most prosperous we have ever enjoyed.
 The year 1912 has run it's course. Its history, figuratively speaking, has been written. It records many noteworthy achieve

BEWARE OF PINCoTlSM.

IT nc at lIatkS nl Sutll ut d cunSerNai ion organs as Is the Washington Times have any In- nuencr upon the next president in his attempts al cabinet making then indeed will Alaska and the West have just cause for regret, because of the whole -heartc support which il gave to the New Jersey man.
 The Washington paper rultnr- ially makes a bitter attack upon Governor Norris, of Montana, not on the ground of personal char acter or of untitncss for office but because of the fact that the governors brand of conservation is not preached and pracliccd by Clifford Pinchot.
 Governor Norris in his mes- sage upon the subject of conser- NatiOn: in his speeches and m his written utleranccs has exactly enunciated the doctrines that are accepted by the rank and file of the people of the public land states in particular and of the people of the West generally. His preachmcnts that conservation does not mean disuSe but rather the use of all natural resources for the benefit of the people, are jl1st the sort of p"cachments that commend themselves tO all who understand the problems of the West, and attacks upon him be- cause of his views upon the mat ter of land regulation and the de- yelopment of our resources but serve to strencthen Inc faith If the people in hin.
 The ProSprctur has not taken part in the urging of any candl- date for cabinet positions upon the pres sident -elect because ii felt that this was a matter that might we'll be regarded as personal, but when attacks are made upon a Western man because he is a Western man, then the Pros pectOr believes that it is time t" enter vigorous protest.
 How many of the far Western states would have cast their elec- toral votes for Woodrow Wilson if they had supposed that his cleo lion meant he vindicatiOn of Gif- ford Pinchut and his policies? :? How many of us but know that tn" most potent argument made against the election of Theodore Roosevelt was that his success meant the recognition of PinchOt- ism and a revival of it's destruct- i've policies?
 Pinchotism has cost \laSka hi the West altogether to; muci! - admit of Western men tightly r" -garding the renewal of the effo [ .. tO stifle development through the application of the arbitrary rule, of ultra conservatiOnism and if it is found that the election of Wil- son means the revival of Pinchot- ism, then indeed will the Democ- racy have a most difficult task to retain the advantage which it has gained in the West.

At the monthly meeting of the

ed their case. After a conference
with Mayor Duncan it was agreed
that the City and Council would do
the necessary grading and prepare
the approaches if the Southern Rail-
road would keep their agreement,
made some time ago to purchase the
right of way, build the abutments and
the bridge. 1t is now up to the prop
erty owners, fronting on the strip of
road that will have to be closed, to
consent to the closing of this road.
There have been many accidents,
some fatal, at this crossing during the
past year and enough money has been
paid out in the settlement of these
claims to build the grade separation
many times over.
There was action taken upon the
proposition to build general bonded
warehouse, a new cotton platform and
to inquire into the merits of the bill
introduced into the Legislature by
Senator Macbeth Young and passed
by that body during the session of
1911-1912, providing for a 100000
