$4,000 as his % per cent of the gross
as winner Of the race.
As a manager he has handled not
cent less than $4,000, 000-and proba-
bly, vastly more. When Muldoon met
Clarence Whistler at San Francisco
in 1889, the net profits were $4,000
in gold. II took "a hours solid work
to count the money and divide it, and
the workers were guarded by armed
men until the coin could be deposited
in banks.
And of all this vast amount Of
money but little stuck to Jacks hands.
He has car fare always, some dia-
monds. and a nice little working pile.
But Mrs. Prince, the real financier OF
the family, has sailed away good bit
OF the money that Jack planned 10
spend, and now in her name there is a
home at Los Angeles and cOnsidera-
bic real estate and plenty Of ready
money to carry them through TO the
end if they lived to be hundred.
To this good day Jack calls Atlanta
home, He has lived here longer
than he has lived anywhere since ne
left his home in Birmingham, England
and that's a good many years back.
He intends to divide the rest Of his
life between Atlanta and Los An
geles.
Mrs. Prince, who is always with
him, was born in Jacks old home
town of Birmingham. Jack married
her there when home on one OF his
frequent trips. Since then she has
followed him on his wonderful jour
neys
A T present Jack Prince stands alone
y among track builders. Just as he
stood alone among bicycle riders IN
his younger days. He built the first
board bicycle track. He built the
first board motorcycle track He built
the first board automobile track. He
has built more board tracks than all
the other builders In the world rolled
into one.
He says the local track is his high
est speed achievement. Maybe so.
maybe not. At any rate. IT is a great
track and the first of a series of
great tracks that are to dot the South.
After they are built Jack has some
thing else under his hat Mrs. Prince
says they are going back to Los An
geles 10 settle down forever" Jack
saws not. He always has Just one
more great idea"-and always Will
have. And the odd part Of it is that
they all come true.

hit. And here that is the great big
question. They think ne is a wonder

can't decide whether Borton will hit
or not.

WAGES AND EARNING POWER.

The testimony of the Chicago su
perintendent of education, as well as
of employers, with reference to the
connection between wages of heads of
families and certain social and moral
evils inevitably emphasized the value
Of vocational training. 1t gave the
senate investigators new lead and
a good one.
Minimum wage commissioners and
minimum wage laws may be neces-
eaiy. They are in fact, as we have
pointed out heretofore, being tried out
in several states and counties. But
there are better and more fundamert-
al things. Proper semi-vocational and
vocational training is one Of these
things. Efficient workers, male or
female, need no statutory protection;
It is the unframed, the casual labor
ers, the victims of the bind alley,
.liinations that ara causing society
and industry so macl trout'e. Let
us give the rising generation earning
over and efficiency. This involves
thorough grounding in fundamentals,
to begin with, and a well-organized
system of continuation schools and
vocational schools.-Record-H Herald.

ILLUSTRATING EFFICIENCY
HIGHER UP"

1t was stated the other day that the
friendly receivers of the Frisco sys-
TEN expected to save in salaries alone
the neat sum of S200,0O0-or more
than the interes. or the amount which
the system vainly tried to borrow in
order to escape insolvency.
1t was not stated that the salary
reductions would imperil efficient op-
Grafton. On the contrary, it was in
timated that efficiency would be en-
hanced. 1t was broadly intimated that
the system did not need five vice
presidents, for example, at an aver
age salary of $17,5OO.
We shall not assume that any of
the charges of frenzied finance, graft
and Jobbery now made against the
Frisco system are well founded. An
inquiry will elicit the truth as to
these accusations. But that efficiency
and economy are greatly needed high
er up in our industries, is the argu-
ment of the Record Herald.

The following from the Cortez Jour
nal holds good all over this south
west section, although The Herald can
say that SO far as butter, eggs and
poultry is concerned La Plata county
is improving and with creameries in
Durango and bayfield, running, every
pound of outside butter, which has
amounted to thousands of dollars each
month, should be cut out: "There is
a half million dollars worth of various
products shipped into the San Juan
basin yearly that should be raised in
it. Of this sum this county will prob
ably easily come in for hundred
thousand. Butter and meats head the
list, followed by everything except
potatoes, which latter article we man
age to raise in sufficient quantities to
be able to ship few carloads. This
lack of raising more stuff on these
broad acres is the heaviest tax this
valley bears at this time. With the
best home market in the west we
should be more prosperous. This,
however, will never be as long as we
depend on outside sections to raise
what we eat"

CONSTRUCTION ON STATE HIGH.
WAY is ON.

Roy Goodman, general superintend-
ent of state highway construction
work in La Plata county, came in from
the Archuleta county line last night
where he has established construc-
tion camp of fifteen mer. who are
working under the supervision of
Jim" Asher. After due considera-
tion it was deemed advisable to work
west from the county line to Bay
field instead of the opposite direc-
ton. In addition to the mcn employed
in the general work there is an engi-
necring crew of six n;er at the same
point The state highway will follow
the main Travelled route from Bay
field to Durango, along what is known
as he lower route.
Saturday a construction camp in
charge of A. W. Parker will be es-
tablished at the Montezuma line and
the force will work east to Hesperus.
In general the road will follow the
present line of travel, except in few
instances where grades can be lowered
and sandy and boggy spots avoided.
Mr.. Goodman found two communi-
cations awaiting him from the state
highway engineer. One acknowledges
the receipt of his profile of the Du-
range Bayfield, road and the other was
regarding the plans for the 20O-foot
steel bridge at Carbon and indicated
that it would have the favorable con-
sideration of the board.
Early tomorrow morning Mr.. Good
man leaves for the camp at the east
end of the county. As soon as pos
sible he will hasten back to organize
the forces for west end. During his
spare moments he is giving the coun-
ty roads general supervision.

WHY HE'S AFRAID TO MARRY

In the July Woman's Home Com
panion appears letter written by a
bachelor of 30 to a newly engaged girl
who abandoned promising literary
career. Some efficient wives will re-
sent the writer's attitude; many will
admit the truth of what he says. A
part of the letter follows:
"You have probably chosen as diff
ficult career as the one you made a
start in, only the world doesn't put
it that way. For in the wife's job
the standards of success are low, while
in the literary job they are high.
"Wifehood is profession and a
science. This is an age of efficiency.
We Americans are sacrificing our
lives on the altar of efficiency. My
work makes me an efficient engineer,
and when l am asked why don't
marry l never like to give the true
reason. The girls for whom you have
the right feeling do not come up to
your standards of efficiency as wives,
home-makers, stimulators, compan-
ions, advisers. How can be wrapped
up in the efficiency craze all day, and
come home to find less practical eff
cheney than in any plant or mine /
am connected with?
And the women themselves are to
blame for this, for they have not look
ed on wifehood as profession ever
progressing, but have looked upon it
as privilege. A mans work today
is harder than it was in the past. A
woman's work has been made easier.
She has not progressed with the times
Fifty per cent of her energy is mis-
directed,
Your advice that I go and do
likewise is characteristic of newly en-
gagged folks. Seriously, no man is
more keenly alive to the possibilities
of the right wife than l am. Nobody
wants one or needs one more than
do, for being alone much of the time
and having tendency to cut out So
oial nonsense, l can readily see what
n wife would do for me. But am
afraid l have reached the stage of
the game where the conventional
sweet little thing that all my friends
introduce me to interests me about as
much as a doll or toy. A fellow
who is travelling all the time and min
giles with all classes of people must
Invariably develop tendency to dis
criminate, and if he doesn't happen to

THE HALF LOAF.

There are two issues between the
public land states and the federal gov
ernment-one a matter Of policy; the
other question Of principle.
There is every reason to believe that
the new secretary of the interior will
deal with conservation, broadly speak
ing, in a more generous fashion than
his predecessors. He has the advan-
tage of actual experience in the west
and he is of a party that should not
be for federalism and bureaucracy.
His representatives, who have been
in conference at Salt Lake City and
mere recently in Denver, have given
assurances that they will cooperate
with the states on details affecting
forest reserves the water issue and
the federal reclamation division. They
lave spoken for population to take up
the barren places as against the old
idea that all the land possible to be
secured should be included in the ma
tional reservations. The forest ranger
may be expected to give the prospec-
tor little freer rein in searching
for mineral deposits and the home
seeker will not warned off as tres
passer from lands that are fit for
farming purposes.
But will these notifications prove
sufficient? And how long may they
be expected to continue?
Bureaucracy is net that enmeshes
| those brought into contact with it
How long will Mr.. Secretary Lane
hold out against it?
Would it not be better now, at tn,
beginning of the national administra
tion-which, from inheritance, asso
citation and declaration, ought to b,
FOR the rights of the states and il
opposition to federal centralization-
to strike at the root and get rid o,
the basic evil?
| The reclamation service has been
failure. A congressional investigation
has brought forth scandal in connec
tion with the Arizona project, ant
| all over the west, where work ha
been undertaken by the service, tn
cost has been prohibitive and the tim
taken to complete project beyond al
reason. Why not put an end to i
as soon as possible, or limit the worl
to interstate undertakings and permi
individuals and states and irrigation
di, tricts within the states to bull,
reservoirs and dig bitches?
No good reason exists for the re
clamation service and its extrava
gances beyond the fact that it fur
nishes patronage for the east.
If the national government woul
drop out the states would be left fre
to work out their salvation and the,
would not have to beg at the door o
a federal official for permission t.
use waters that belong to them an,
which are going to waste.
| The whole policy of the federal gov
ernment in its relation to the publ
lands and federalism ought to be re
vised by congress. In this manne
centralization and bureaucracy woul,
be made less dangerous to the natiol
at large.-Denver Times.
