yation commission has approved the pur- chases
 "The south today is standing on the
 threshold of a vast industrial develop
 ment. The extent of this development and consequently the enhancement and
 prosperity of the south Itself depend very largely on two factors. These are the production of raw material from the farms, forests and mines, and the pro-
 lection and development of water re- sources.
 The south is pre-eminently favored in
 both these respects. It Is not merely the great amount of navigable waters stretching far back into the different states, available for cneap transporta- 1 tion, but vast water powers which are rapidly transforming the south into d
 manufacturing as well as agricultural section"

Just around the corner from
the Church of the Black Christ
is the Klondike saloon.
1 came upon 10 suddenly-and,
OF course, unexpectedly-and
was filled with wonder when
saw the 4 Ign over the arched
doorway . "KLONDIkE SA-

l was filled with wonder, I say,
for the sign made me think, not

me think, not of cacti-covered
wastes of sand, but of immense
valleys and great mountains tuck

and torrentiaI rains, but of bon

as good wine, and winters white
and cruel.
What was a "KIondike" saloon

from Alaska in his quest of gold?
l went in. There was a small
bdip WIFI a BdIiC III IdTHI6neu
gilt over the garrish mirror-F.
Zaronio. Clearly F. Zaronio was
the proprietor.
At one of the tables sat two
top sergeants of the United
States army, drinking beer. They
were grizzled veterans, and they
were quarreling. One contendei
stoutly that Woodrow Wilson
was a bone-head, while the other
insisted, quite as vigorously, that
this same Woodrow Wilson was a
clear-headed and far-seeing
American statesman and patriot.

for three bottles of the coolest
beer In town" Then I explained
my interest in the "Klondike Sa-
loon"

thumb toward Sergeant Murphy,

Sergeant Murphy explained,
growing, "only he's so-pig-

Then they went at 1t again, and
the argument lasted until the ar

Klondike saloon.
Certainly he didn't look like a
"sourdough"-this tall, thin,
grey, shriveled Spaniard.
We asked him IL he was a
"sourdough." IL he had ever been
in the Klondike, and IL so, when?
He didn't know what we were
talking about. The top sergeants
knew only Filipino Spanish, and
not much of that. We gestured,
made signs, and finally appealed
