Exposure Killed Scott.
Weakness caused by continued ex-

visions are assigned by DR. Cook as
the probable causes of the death OF
Capt Robert Falcon Scott, the British
Antarctic explorer, whose death was
recently reported. @-..

miles TIC cover to reach a base of sup

goal, despite the severity of an Ant

ment. =.
DR.. Cook is inclined to the theory
that Capt. Scott and his party had be-
come much WORKOUT through their
fight to gain the open sea and when
the storm did oyertake them they
failed to make any progress against
the SHOWS and biting gales that sweep

DR. Cook EXPIRE ssed the belief this
morning that the coming Democratic
administration would give his case i'm

fair and square deal from this source.
From his line of conversation concern

ambition at the present time. and that
is to establish his claim as the initial

carefully inquire into the Cook expe-

by Dr. Cook on his last expedition to

this morning that he had assurances

enough to turn the scale, but in the
case OF Mexico, it is quite different
matter. The country over which the
main body would have to advance is
rough and inhospitable. and an army
can not live off the land. Mexico has
about 10000 trained soldiers who have
been fighting over this country for
three years, and who are presumably
seasoned campaigners.
On. the other hand, in favor of in
PREVENTION, is the argument that the
rich west coast is being developed al
most entirely by American capital;
that what is practically state OF an
archy exists in Mexico City; and that
there is no staple government, and
that American life and property are
in danger. The United States is
close to the point where it may have
TO fight Mexico to save its face.
The navy would cut little figure in
Mexican war, outside of keeping a
blockade on both coasts and bottling
up the few gunboats that constitute
the sea force of the country. At the
present time the cruiser California,
with Admiral Switzerland, is at Man
zanillo. and the South Dakota at
Acapulco. The other ships of the
Pacific feet are at Mare Island under
going minor repairs. and 1t would
take about month to get them ready
for sea.
The Mexican crisis may make a
change in the plans of the navy de-
partment for the transfer of COM
mand of the Pacific feet to Admiral
Cowles, for it is extremely unlikely
that with war pending the present
commander-in-chief would be recalled

Burning Up Gold.

Burning a small piece OF gold leaf Is
a custom observed by the Chinese at
certain anniversary celebrations, and
II is estimated that gold to the value
of S10.000.0o0 is destroyed annually in
this way. This estimate is based on
the assumption that each individual Of
total population of 440.0oo.00o burns
ut each of two anniversaries piece of
gold leaf weighing 3os grain. making
a total OF 27l.000,0o0 grains. A five
dollar gold piece weighs 100 grains.

Telephone Company Forms Courtesy
Club.

An attempt is now being made to
make courtesy pay and be worth
while. The Mountain States Tele-
phone and Telegraph company has
recently formed Courtesy Club"
among its employees. The conditions
of membership are that the employees
to become member of the club and
secure the gold badge must have some
special mark of courtesy to the public
or made some improvement in the
service, The company announces that
frequently its subscribers write to
the management that some employee
has been unusually thoughtful and
courteous and recommends that en-
ployee to the officials of the company
for promotion.
The club intends to enroll as men,
bers all employees who have shown
consideration enough for the public
to earn its good will and opinion and
membership in the club will assist in
the employees advancement. Already
over $50 of the Telephone Company's
six thousand employees are enrolled |
as members. The plan is novel and
unique and the first of its kind start
ed by any corporation serving the
public. The company employees in this
district are striving to merit a place
