The announcement OF Percival w.
Cleimsh3. that he would be willing to
accept the republican nomination for
the .gOYernorship has added a little
spice TO. the situation and opened
new possibilities. Mr.. Clement offers
.htnsen as a fiat footed and loyal
republican while Mr.. Fleetwood was
so careful in his announcement that
many people have questioned wheth-
er he intended to be a party candi-
date or not. Mr.. Clement is a very
positive man and very active after
anything he wants, while Mr.. Fleet
wood is more inclined to seek only
that which can be secured without
arousing too active opposition. In
other words Mr.. Clement is a fight
er and Mr.. Fleetwood is more diplo-
matte.
The statement of each candidate
that they would make public their
campaign expenses indicates there is
to be no attempt to buy the nomi-
nation this year and that is crafty
ing. Mr.. Clement is of the mil
ionaire class that has been so gen.
orally represented in the govern
orship of Vermont while Mr.. Fleet
wood comes nearer to representing
the man of common means. Mr..
Clement too is a man of recognized
business ability and a pressing need
of our state government is good
business administration. On the
other hand Mr.. Fleetwood is a man
of good judgment and has shown
ability to conserve the comfortable
competence he possesses. "A poor
man for governor" is likely to be an
effective appeal, but the announce
ment by Mr.. Clement that he will
make public his expenses is sure to
be to his advantage.
There are other features not so
favorable for Mr.. Clement. Many
people will remember his revolt
from the republican party in 1906
because it would not nominate him
for governor, and this will dampen
their enthusiasm for him. Then Mr..
Clement cannot receive solid support
in his own county. In fact it looks
as though much distance is neces-
sary to increase the enchantment for
him. Men who have swung Rutland
county against Mr.. Clement in the
past say they will actively oppose
him now. Mr.. Fleetwood has a dis
tinct advantage here because his
own county will stand solidly behind
him and he has no enemies with old
grudges to actively oppose him.
Fleetwood has friends in all parts of
the state and unless some other
appears he would seem to
stand a fair chance of winning over
Clement. But Clement will have a
good deal Of strength, and it is not
safe to count either man out of the
race at present.
Since writing the above, F. E.
Howe has put out an announcement !
that he is willing to be a candidate. |
He has an original and courageous /
platform that will awaken some !
thought.

LAID TO REST
 AT CHAIHENDA

The bodies of Kenneth White horn and Charles Anderson, two miners who were killed in snow slide while hunting OH Sheep creek, a tributary of the Chisana river, twenty eight miles below Chathen- da, were brough% to Chathenda on Feb. 2S. An inquest was held by a coroner's jury before Commis- sioner Dimond and q verdict of ac- cidental death returned. There is no undertaken in the camp so the bodies were prepared for burial in the town, on one of the river bars Both men were prospectors and went into the Chisana last fall from interior Alaska. From pa pers found in Anderson's cabin it was learned that he has a fath- CT living in Finland, aud q broth CT and cousin in Duluth, Minneso- la.

TO ROLL ONE HUNDRED
 THOUSAND PEOPLE AN HOUR

San Francisco.s~Gal, March '27- One of the most unique and or iginal methods of transportation ever devised for handling expos ition crowds, and one which will effectually solve the problem of transporting the enormous crowds from the ferry building to the exposition grounds, is planned for San Francisco during the Panama Pacific International Exposition next year.
 The new method known as the roller conveyer system is similar to that which has been in use in fac tories for years, although this will be the first application of the passenger traffic.
 The cars will operate upon an elevated trestle, having a fall of three feet to every hundred, and aiong which rollers are placed at intervals of few feet, allowing the cars to coast easily. At inter- vals of four hundred feet the car will be lifted up a steep decliyity to a height of twelve feet above the lowest point of the trestle track, and will then coast to the next similar station.
 The entire system will cost only SS5O,O00 and the expense of main tenance will be slight. Twenty motor stations will be necessary to operate the cables but each will require a smaller motor than that used on an ordinary street car.

THE FIRST GOLD DEPOSIT
 FOUND IN INLAND ALASKA

The first gold deposits found in inland Alaska, were in the Yukon Panama region, which comprises an upland diversified by broad valleys stretching westward from the inter national boundary to the great bend of the Yukon. The earliest of the pioneer prospectOrs crossed the Chtlkoot Pass about 1880 and six years later began mining in the interior of Alaska after finding gold in the Yukon-Tanana region. Since then this region has produced gold to the value of about $S3,000,- 0OO. The United States Geological Survey began It's survey of this field, which embraces -sCme 10000 square miles, in1S9S. With the is suing Ol the report on the portion of the region known as the Circle quadrangle, published recently as Bulletin 5Sg, geologic auf topo- graphic reconnaissance maps, to- gether with a description of the mineral resources Of this area, be- came available.
 The town of Circle, from which the report takes its name, is one of the oldest white settlements on the Yukon. It was located before the surveyor had determined that the town was not in the Arctic Circle, as supposed, but 50 miles SC uth of it. Lest the nearness of the Arctic Circle be regarded as indicative of ice and snow, it should be noted that there are neither glaciers nor permanent snow in the Yukon-Tanana region. It is, indeed, a land of fertile val leys and grassy slopes, and during the short but warm summers veg etation thriyes, many grains can be ripened, and vegetables grow lux uriantly. Of course, the establish ment of adequate railroad trans portation facilities may be expected to greatly develop this entire re- zion.
 The Circle quadrangle owes its chief present importance to the placer mines of the Birch Creek district, which though worked in only a small way, have produced gold to the value of nearly $5,O0O, 900.

THE STORY OF EXoGYRA
 AN EXTINCT MoLLUsK

Many thousands of years ago, be- fore the birth of tho Roxy Noun tains and when the shores of the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico lay far inland from their present position-when, indeed, the North American continent was rela- tvieIy very small-there lived in the seas and estuaries, together with various species of oysters, vast numbers of closely related mol lusk with a twisted shell which is now known to science as Exogyra. As the years passed, the colonies of Exogyra flourished, and the places of those that died were taken by younger members, while the old shells became entombed within the slowly accommodating deposits of sand, mud, and limy ooze. In the progress of the centuries there de veloped in the shape aud ornamen- tation of the shells certain chang es that were sufficiently pronounc' ed to enable the specialist of today not only to distinguish the shells of members of the original colon. ies from those of their descendants but also to recognize several dis t,nct varieties among the later shell.
 In the course of ti,ne-a very long time, for we are speaking geo. logically-the stresses which had accumulated within the earth dur ing an extended period of quies- cencee found relief in movements Of the outer crust which brought about the uplift of the Rocky Noun tains and materially altered the shape and size of the ocean basins. The resultant shifting If the ocean currents produced changes in the temperature of the water and in the abundance and character of the food supply. The unfortunate Ex- ogyra, unlike his more hardy cous- in, the oyster, was unablo to adapt himself to the changing physical conditions and became extinct.
 After the lapse of ages the re- treat of the seas from the borders of the continent brought above sea level the sediments, now turned to stone and covered by mass of later deposits, which contained the fossil shells of the Exogyra. Subsequent erosion by rain and run ming water has carved valleys and ravines which expose, from top to bottom, the fossiliferous sediments and enable the geologist to in- terpret their history, using the different varieties or species of Exogyra to identify definite rock beds and thus trace them across country with a certainty impossible without the aid of this prehistoric mollusk. The study of the many fossil animals, shellfish, and plants Is of the greatest use in enabling the geologist to classify rocks which may contain important economic minerals.
