This is especially true in the public attitude toward Alaska.
 Those who have heretofore re- SpOnded can no more hr interest . ed because of the unsettled pol icy of the national government toward Alaska.
 This is not the only adverse condition confronting the Alas kan going to the states for capi- taI to develop the mines of the country. There seems to have been an army of knockers" turn ed loose that condemn every min ing proposition in which they are not direct bcneticiaries.
 Despite all the unfavorable cir rumstances Senator Willard says that he was successful in a meas ure by interesting new blood in the north. He has arranged fuI the financing of he Tatum prop critics recently puchased from Mark Tatum, of Douglas. and al- SD to go ahead with the Mineral 'cre"k development plans.

MANY OPPORTUNITIES
OFFERED BY PANAMA
DR.. C. R. Guthrie, Former
Salt Laker, Predicts
Great Future.

DR.. 6. r. Guthrie, former we'll
known dentist of Salt Lake, who is
largely interested in a big land propo-
sitlon in the republic of Panama, is
home for visit, and is enthusiastic
concerning the outlook for Americans
In the canal zone. DR.. Guthrie says that
nearly every American who has gone
into business in the canal zone has
"made good. The country, he adds
is rich in promise, and is redeeming
itself as rapidly as possible. He said
yesterday.
1t is becoming trite to refer to
Panama as the gateway of the
world, but we cannot get away
from the fact that it will be, as
and opened to traffic. The repub-
lie Of Panama holds out wonderful
inducements to live men. Within
its borders are immense forests of
hard wood timber. and it also is
rich in agricultural lands, For
the growing of sugar cane there
is no better country on earth, and
the yield is far above what it is IN
Louisiana and other southern
states that make a specially Of
sugar cane growing. The yield in
Panama is from 80 to 75 tons per
acre, as compared with from 30 to
90 tons in Louisiana. If the tariff
is taken off sugar, Panama will be
greatly benefited, as it can be
shipped to the United States at
better profit than at present. Cat
tie raising is another big industry
in Panama, out of which big for
tunes are being made. The eli
mate is ideal also for fruit raising
apples, and other tropical fruits are
raised 10 abundance. ] look for
Panama to make a wonderful rec
ord within the next few years,

COAL CHUTES IN Rio
GRANDE YARDS AF IRE
Blaze Put Out by Employees;
Force Is Clearing Away
Debris.

Fire broke out in the Denver & Rio
Grande yards yesterday, on the Goa
chutes that were burning during the
time when the disastrous fire destroyed
the shops Wednesday evening. The
fire was put out by the railroad com
pany's employees who were near the
scene, and the fire department was not
called. The cause Of the fire is not
known, although sparks from passing
engine are thought to have started the
blaze. No damage was done
The last Of the hose used in the fire
Wednesday night was taken to the va
rious stations yesterday and after be.
ing dried and cleaned was put back
in the racks ready for use. It is es-
timated that 1000 feet Of hose were
used IN fighting the blaze that proved
so disastrous. Of this, large portion
was three inches in diameter, which is
the largest size hose used by the local
FIRE department.
A large force of men was put to
work yesterday at clearing away the
debris and wreckage in the block occu-
pied by the repair shops that were de:
stroyed. Every man who was supposed
to be out OF employment as result
of the fire was at work and all are re-
ported to be getting full pay. Car
penters, blacksmiths and some Of the
machinists were working out in the
open repairing cars. To some of
the trained machinists, 1t seems odd to
be picking up pieces Of corrugated iron
and burnt timber, but none of them
are complaining and all express salts
faction at what they have. They say
that the company has shown a fairness
in view of the fact that men could have
been hired for So day to clear away
the debris instead Of paying the higher
wage that is being paid.
Tt was announced yesterday that as
soon as the ground is cleared. tempo
rary shops will be erected until the
permanent ones which may cost $500,
will be constructed.

WORK
IN SCHOOLS PLANNED
State Board of Education In
cludes Much Practical
Investigation.

The elementary courses In agriculture
for the seventh and eighth grades of
the state have been prepared by the
state board of education, which is en-
gagged in planning the study courses
for use in the public schools Of the
state during the next five years, Since
the state textbook commission adopted
the books to be used for the next
five years about February I, the board
Of education has been preparing the
courses to conform with the standard
text books. The work will be com
pleted within short time
An interesting feature Of the courses
as outlined is the large proportion Of
practical investigation and demonstra-
ton included. Instructors are advised
to visit neighboring farms and orchards
and there TO give their pupils practical
information. Stock Judging Is also In
cluded In the curriculums.
Another important phase Of the in
structiop which is strongly advocated
is the formation among students of
agricultural clubs. The clubs raise
crops, thus giving the members expe-
rience in actual production. Home gar
dens are also urged and, in conjunc-
tion, exhibitions Of the crops raised
in the schools and county fairs. The
textbooks to be used include most Of
the recognized standard works on ag-
riculture, horticulture. dairying and
stock breeding.

Special TO The Tribune,
OGDEN, June 2o,-The mysterious
finding OF two drafts, aggregating $4,000.
in a Twenty fifth street pool room this
afternoon after the spot had been thor
oughly searched an hour previous. leads
the police to believe that valuable pa
pers were returned by a sneak thief
after learning that he could not realize
on the certificates. The drafts were the
property Of Constant Faure. sheepman
OF Soda Spring.
When Faure and a friend dropped into
the pool room for a game, they hung
their coats on the wall, Upon leaving
the place the sheepman discovered that
his drafts were missing and, without
notifying the police at once, ne made the
rounds Of the banks to learn II any at
tempt had been made to realize OF the
paper. Al the Pingree National bank
the cashier sent for an officer TO aid
the men In their search
Accompanied by the officer the men
made another search at the pool room,
without results. but an hour later word
was sent TO the police station that the
drafts had been found on the floor near
the place where Faure's coat had been
hanging Tho police are convinced that
the sheepman's coat was robbed and
that the thief was considerate enough
to return the drafts when he was not
able 10 collect the amounts.

STRONGLY IN FAVOR
Of JOINT BUILDING
Judge A. r. Haywood Be-
lieves Ogden City and We
Der County Should Act.
Special 10 The Tribune.

Special TO The Tribune
OGDEN, June 20.-The recent order
of the city commissioners requesting
the Ogden city board of education to
Immediately vacate the suite of rooms
in the city building is accepted by
Judge A. r. Haywood as conclusive
evidence that immediate steps should
be taken to erect joint city and
county building. He is strongly op-
posed TO the proposed erection of a
small building in Central park for the
accommodation of The school board or"
fices.
For more than a year past Judge
Haywood has been a strong advocate
of the joint building plan. He Offered
at one time to approve of high spe-
cial tax on all Of his Ogden property
10 the end that a million dollar city and
county building might replace the pres
ent structure III Central park. Con
cerning the order of the city commits
sioners relative to the board of educa-
ton. Judge Haywood said today:
The people OF Ogden cannot
readily follow the order of the
board of city commissioners to the
school board, notifying the board
the city hall must be vacated to
supply room for other departments.
To request this seems to lead to the
construction of a small building
on the square for school offices
only. which would have the effect
OF indefinitely postponing the cree
tion of public building common
surate with Ogden S claims,
! believe that our people are ripe
for such building and ] feel that
those in authority should be work
ing out the method by which work
could be commenced and carried
forward expeditiously.
That square now has not one
one building that is in Ogden s
class. True, the library is an arch
itectural triumph, but it is too
small to attract attention to our
real claims to pretentiousness. If
