Ownership Break
ing Down.

Why not frankly face the fact that
private ownership of railroads is
breaking down here as it long ago
broke down in most OF the other lead
ing nations? That its breakdown is
unavoidable conflict between private
and public" interests in transportation?
And that it would be wiser to act on
this fact toward q permanent solution
than to patch the old system for a de-
lay which can at longest be but brief,
and which may increase the ultimate
cost of the foreseen inevitable-gov-
eminent purchase?
Not in private ownership lies the
remedy, for the nature of private own
ership Of a monopoly service is to rob
the many for the few-take away the
chance to do this and at once the main
incentive for private ownership ceases.
Why waltz Why not take the rail-
ways over now? If the people must
pay the bills, why shouldn't they haye
the benefits as well?-Cleveland Press.

Must Have the Boys or
Quit Business.

The average citizen is justly horri-
fed and indignant when he learns of
methods employed by saloonkeepers,
backed by the brewers and distillers,
to recruit the ranks of those unfortun-
ates who r marching down the path
of degeneracy to our poorhouses, pris-
n and insane asylums. The saloons
must get one boy in every five in or
der to make the profits of the liquor
traffic worth while, and to enable the
trade to point with pride to the per
capita increase in drinking And
yet, is not the saloon mans business
as legitimate before the law as the
grocer mans? The nan or woman
who votes license cannot consistently
denounce the drinkseller for his alert
ness in securing new customers.

Better For the Boy.

No small factor in the prohibition
victories of this year has been the dry
vote OF drinking men. The explana-
ton Of the seeming paradox is not far
to seek. One Oregon man gives it
concisely thus: 81 drink myself, and
four years ago I would have voted
wet and done everything in reason to
carry it, because l believed every.
thing would have gone to the dogs un-
der dry conditions. But now I've got
q boy at home and the question
whether it costs me a little more or a
little less cuts no ice with me. / know
it will be better for the boy, and that
settles it,"

". 6. T. U. Notes
How Supply the Revenue.

In the event of nationwide abolition
of the liquor traffic, how is it pro-
posed to raise revenue to take the
place of that now collected from the
whisky and beer and wine interests?
Liquor advocates assert that they are
unable to get an answer to this ques-
ton. The truth is it is being continu-
ally answered by individual prohibit
tionists, to say nothing of standing
answers furnished by prohibition
states. Letters sent out by the Union
Signal, official organ of the National
w. G. t. u, asking for an expression
on this subject. brought many replies
from men prominent in the temperance
movement. If the li%quorites really
want to be shown let them read these
and other articles in the anti liquor
journals. OF cours they, HAVE read
what Senator Sheppard said at the
hearing before the Judiciary Commit
tee lest spring. We quote a few SEN
fences:
"There are legitimate sources Of rev.
enue yet untouched. There are few di-
rect taxes on %luxuries. The income
tax has little more than scratched the
surface Of enormous wealth. There is
no federal inheritance tax. Non-alco'
holic beverages are untaxed. The ma.
tional domain, with measureless min
eral resources, water powers, forests,
and the like, could be managed so b!
to produce a yearly usufruct of fit!
or one hundred millions"

Briauetting Company Q:

Northern Briquetting Company Of
Minot.
The exhibits at the School of Mines
represents a great deal of careful and
expert work. Ceramic dealers In the
Twin Cities and Chicago inspected the
art pottery made from the North Da-
kota clay, and they declared that it
was second only to the famous Rock
wood ware, known the world over. The
art pottery is Individually n OF the
finest displays Of its kind ever seen. 1t
represents not only long and careful
work, but a great financial value.
The exhibit probably will do more
than anything else to direct attention
to North Dakota, for, as has been
pointed out, few people know that
such work can be done in this state.

North Dakota at the Pan
anna Exposition.

It is doubtful if the possibilities OF
any state in the Union will be better
demonstrated at the Panama EXPOSE
tion than those of North Dakota.
Positive proof Of the future wealth
and prosperity of the state is con-
tanned in the exhibit, part of which
has just been made and assembled at
the State University School Of Mines,
under the direction of Dean E. j. Bah.
cock.
The exhibit will undoubtedly he a
surprise to the people of the United
States, as North Dakota is primarily
known as the wheat state. And yet,
as is so clearly shown by the exhibit,
there are ~undeveloped resources which
will make this one of the greatest
states in the Union.
The purpose of the exhibit made by
Mr.. Babcock is to emphasize the un.
developed of North Dakota,
outside of the agricultural, and to
show the possibilities in the develop.
ment from these of diversi-
fed industries in q great agricultural
state.
The exhibit will be placed in one
wing of the North Dakota building.
The structure is q very handsome one,
although mot expensive. 1t was de-
signed by Jos. Bell DeRemer, former
ly a Grand Forks architect, but now
located at Los Angeles. The build
ing, blue prints of which are at the
University, is in three sections. There
is the center pavilion, which probably
will house the great agricultural dis
play, and two wings, which contain
ample room for other exhibits, recep-
ton rooms and balconies. This state
is very fortunate in securing a corner
lot.
There will be a collection of build
ing stone, clays from various locali-
ties, and a variety of clay products,
which can be produced from the typi-
cal high grade clays of different kinds
found in North Dakota.
The art pottery consists of a large
display Of beautiful pieces Of various
designs and decorated in a variety of
tints. Some OF these approach re
markably near the we'll known Rock.
wood ware. There are also some re-
markably fine pieces of extremely high
grade white table ware made up in the
form OF beautiful cream and white tea
sets.
There are samples Of tho sewer pipe
OF exceptionally high quality made
from elays In two or three different To-
calities in the state. Several of the
olays have been made up into very fine
drain tile. There is a large collection
OF hollow fre-preof building ware.
In addition to all this, the display
includes snameled brick, enamel.d
tile, vitrifed tile, paving brick, press
brick, ornamental brick, terri. Gotta,
semi.porcelain, electric fixtures and q
variety of other clay wares.
In addition to the clay and clay pro-
ducts exhibited, there will be an ex-
hibit Of Ignite coal from different
mines. There also will be a display
OF briquettes made at the University
mining experimental sub-station and
at the School OF Mines, and also the

IDITAROD HAS NOVEL
 HORSE AUCTION

IDITAROD, Sept. 12.-Considerable interest was manifested yesterday af. ternoon in the sale of government horses and other property which had been the equipment of the U s. Geol- oglcal Survey party which arrived at this place last Wednesday. The prop erty was disposed of at public auc- ton at the Adams barn, on Willow Street and a fair-sized crowd had been attracted by the posted notices of the sale. R. Fl. Sargent, the head of the expedition acted as auctloneer, and Dr. Smith raked in the coin. The officials stated after the sale that they were well satisfied With the prices obtained, in view of the condi- tion of the local market, although the purchasers had secured some good bargains. All of the horses and other property were disposed of
 Among the horses auctioned off were a few ranging in weight around thousand pounds, and ono of these was bought by P. Uotila for S75, that sale being the top price. When in con dition, the animals should weight close to 1,25O pounds. Knutc Roland pur- chased four of the animals at insig- nificant prices, and w. F. Kilgore bought three. Joe HoYach secured for $9 an animal which has a reputation throughout Eastern Oregon and Mon- tant as a racc horse, and which has won much money and many souven. frs on the track. Some of the animals were knocked down at q figure as low as S4 Wada, the Jap, became the own CT of an animal which is said to be about as hard a proposition to handle as could be desired for anyone look ing for strenuous exercise.
 The horses were purchased for the expedition at Pendleton, Ore, last Spring, and are declared to have been excellently adapted to the expeditions needs.-Iditarod Pioneer.

TACOTNA SHOWING
 GOOD PROSPECTS,

Candle creek, in the Kuskokwim country Is showing up strong, Gaines creek, in the Innoko is being taken over by syndicate headed by Tom. Aitken, and the latter is building a wireless station at Tacootna, accord ing to authentic advices received in Juneau from the last named place.
 Candle Creek is q tributary of the Tatlena, which in turn, is tribu- tary of the Tacotna river, the latter being one of the large tributaries of the Kuskokwlm, forming confluence where the town of McGrath is locat- ed. According to the news contained in the message referred to, Aitken and McKinnon had already taken out $4O,OOO this season at the close of July, and the keystone drill had shown up a full million still in the ground Working down stream the bedrock be. comes deeper and the ground wet, making a drill imperative for pros pecting purposes, therefore the values of a great portion of the creek are still unknown. The creek is seven miles long and the paystreak has been proved for a distance of one mile, commencing at the head and getting better going down stream. The pay at the head runs $1.50 per square foot of bedrock and is 150 feet wide, widening to 300 feet in places.
 A company consisting of Aiken, McRinnon, Seddon, Henry Riley, and "Red" Ellis, and another prominent mining man whose name was not men, tioned, have taken over Gaines Creek in the Innoko, which they will pros pect with a drill during the coming winter. It is their idea to prepare for the operation of dredge on the property. There will also be one or two large scraping outfits working in the Innoko next summer. Yankee Creek in the Innoko is also coming to the front as prospecting advances, Pay is located down as far as No, 10 below. making full five miles of pay on that stream.
 Transportation facilities are now much better than formerly on account of the operation of the gasoline boats on the Kuskokwim and up the Tacot- na to the Portage.
 Tom Aitken is building Q wireless station at Tacotna The plant is to be hauled in and set up as soon as the winter trail will be fit for travel A winter mail service via Seward is looked forward to with considerable satisfaction. The men have been pay ing on an average of SIG to $2O per month each to have their mail brought to them.
 The Tacotna is spoken of as veri- table Garden of Eden," so far as ta- ble vegetables are concerned, includ- ing such items as potatoes, cabbage, rutabagas, cucumbers, celery, beets, green peas, raspberries, entrants and the like.
