A long time ago l had the pleasure
to make a trip to New York, and it
interested me very much, I could
proftably spend the time standing on
the sidewalk-suficient to one side
rot to be run overlooking at the
great throng of people coming and 60
especially in the morning and in
the afternoon when the people were
going and returning from their work.
| looked and wondered, and looked
and wondered some more, where all
these people came from and where
they were going and where they lived.
and what their purpose in life was,
and then | wondered again why some
CT them did not come down to this
beautiful and balmy Southland of ours,
where they could have plenty of fresh
air and have elbow room. l stood
one evening about dark at the entrance
to the great Brooklyn bridge On the
New York side of the river, and watch
ed the thousands anG thousands OF
people who were making their way to
the Brooklyn side of the river. A po-
liceman was stationed there. A great
big strong Irishman. 1 stood by him
for some time. He was asked all sorts
of foolish questions, some that |, a
stranger, would not have asked, be-
cause they were silly and useless. He
invariably answered every one politely
and courteously and generally with a
smile. I finally asked him, when there
was little lull in the questions, II
he didn't get tired answering so many
silly questions. He, answered politely
aid courteously That's what I'm
here for have thought OF that
Irishman many time since, and Won
dered why we could not all realize and
appreciate WIldC we dI0 n0A ioi' 1
if we didn't know, make diligent In
ouiry and try to find out. It. would
be of great benefit to the world if we
could lust find out what we are here
for. l sometimes wonder if some OF
us are here for any good purpose, and
then | think of the great Creator who
never does anything without pur-
nose, and wonder again why we can
not find out what that purpose is.
What are you here for? That's the
question you better ask yourself. Then
try to fill that purpose.

Mr. Mayor Wright, some one told
me you had little book in which you
put down all suggestions and all ad-
vice that was offered. Please get out
that book, and take your pencil IN
hand, and then get in your automobile
and make a note of some of the
streets you have right up your way,
and right out the other way, and then
right out the other way, and see II
YOU can't do something. Yes, DO
something. That's the thing. Don't
simply make note, but act. How
can YOU expect your city to grow and
prosper when you permit such miser-
able things as you have to pass for
streets. Good roads-good streets
are an evidence of civilization. DID
YOU hear that? 1t is quotation from
a high authority. You desire your
CITY to rank among the civilized tribes,
I know, and know you lain high
state of civilization. Then let's have
some streets that would be a credit to
civilization. Look at them and an
sWer me man to it if we have them.
Then | am told out here on the road
to Prosperity, right in town, is one OF
the worst mudholes between here and
Prosperity. 1t would cost only few
dollars to repair it. If you are short
Of funds suppose we take up charity
subscription to fix it. I will contrl-
butte one dollar. know Mayor Wright
will give five dollars and the Summer
garage will give ten and that is all
that is needed to do the work. Let's
do it now, today. Why wait? Then
the road to Prosperity and to Jalapa
and to the steel bridge and to Cald-
wells and to the poor house-just think
of 1.-THE road to the poor house is
almost impossible and we may need
to use it. Let's fix it and all the 9TH
ers. Just little attention. The cost
would be insignificant. And remember,
good roads is an evidence of civiliza-
ton. lhe loler.

Railroad Needed To Yukon Valley,
Alaska.

The estimated value of the gold pro-
duced in the Alaska portion of the Yu-
kon basin in 1912, was $S.645,000, COM
pared with $9,050,000 in 1911. This de-
crease is due to the falling off of the
output from the Fairbanks and Hot
Springs districts, for the other Yukon
camps either held their own or some
what increased their output, compared
with the preceding year.
The Fairbanks district continues to
be the largest producer of placer gold in
the Yukon country. 1t can not maintain
this position long, however, without a
radical change in mining conditions
which will make it possible to exploit
profitably its extensive bodies of low
grade placers. But little has been ac-
complished in this direction, and the best
hope of the future lies in obtaining d.
rect railway connection with tidewater.
