DILUTING THE GERMAN LANGUAGE

No Englishman who has been in Germany a sufficient length of time to allow hum to become conversant with the more common idioms ana forms of speech will failed to notice that for eign words constitute unexpectedly large part oi the ordinary Germans Vocabuiarly Many oi these words, which by one process or another nave been sLssimilated into the language and grown familiar in everyday conversation, of English origin though the novel methods of pronunciation to when they are subjected generally render them extremely puzzlng. if wholly unrecoGniZable to those ol us who should naturally be the first to welcome and appreciate them. The word bluff. for instance is great favorite with the political leader writers of the tatherland, and may be relied upon to put in an appearance in any discussion of political affairs between German and Erglshman.
 But of the many foreign words current in Ger man the great majority French. So common are they indeed that Engshnan who is fairly fluent French converse tionast, finding himself stranded in Germany with only limited vocabulary at his command will almost immediately acquire the habit of first transating the English word he wishes to express into French and then giving the frencp word d German form. And as often as not he VIII lit the mark. There is very large class of Ger man verbs which form their ending in ieren. such as 'marschieren.' ''pareren, "dictieren all or which are directly derived from the French. Nor is 1t uncommon find in ordinary usage in Ger many French words winch Tn EnStlhd are ohs seen and heard.
 There certain shops to be found Tn oXf"ro street and surrounding neighborhood which la bel themselves "Friseur," but nobody ever thinks of referring them in conversation by any other name than that of hairdresser But in Germany a hairtlresser is actually spoken of "Friseur because it is impossible to call him anything else unless you employ the word "barbier, and even then YOU will still be talking French and not Ger man And if you wish to mention the pavement you have to call 'trotter," if you fly the town and desert the narrow streets for the broad hgh-road where you?

Combination in Restraint of Excellence

Comity is a nice thing. but it be carried too far and be put improper use minded by d story n The Republican yesterday morning of the oxford life of the Arizona Rhodes scholarship boys. In the story it is stated: Tt is the testimony of the Rhodes trustees that in states where there but university, such as in Arizona the nominations the Rhodes scholarships have been of a high order. There has been tendency in other states for the scholarships to be traded around among colleges of the state

Why a Merger Is Impossible

There is one short question which should he put to every man who advocates merger of the pro gressiVe and republican parties: On what basis Let all proceedings looking to merger it. sus- pended until satisfactory answer has been sub mltted We suspect that the suspension will be in- definite.
 Down in their hearts republicans and per haps. some progressives have the answer which they will not breathe aloud: The basis of our common desire to secure the offices and apportion them among ourselves But the offices mean noth- Ing to the real progressive except as they give opportunity to carry progressive principles They could not be used for that purpose if they should he divided by lot according to the and condi tions of merger
 The progressive party must gain strength from accreton and not from combination There is no political organization that can De ;tssimate with it. There is party with which il could me rsc and remain progressive.

The Home Run

When is home-run honle-run: dis cussed by Billy Evans in the Harper's Weekly. He says that the much -mooted question has been settled this year by the addition brief section to the old rule requiring the touch all bases Tn regular order The specific requirement adjusts conflict between the old rule giving the batter a homer bsllbatted over the fence or into stand beyond specified distance from the home plate. general requiring runners to touch every base. It the theory some that the first rule the batsman a bl the mere achievement having knocked the ball over tre fence beyond the prescribed distance from the plate
 But in the quotation the former rule which, of course still stands modified oy the requirement that the bases always be touched We suspect that there is typographical error; that is. we would suspect it if it anywhere else than in Harper's Weekly: A fair batted ball that goes pass the fence entitle the batsman a home unless it lthe ball) should pass out of the ground into the stand d a distance less than eS35 feet the home plate, in which the batsman shall be entitled only two bases
 Assuming the foregoing figures be correct and MT. Norman Hapsood is stickler for accuracy think the rule should remodcied If fair bail passes the fence distance of tran 2S$5 feet the home plate whence the ball is bated, It must be supposed that been invested with degree of momentum that will carry it d least 3G5 beyond the fence. That would make distance of exactly half mile
 We should favor rule giving the who should bat a bah distance not only home run, but also a crown and harp and eternal glory and giving his the game without any further play quibbng We respectfully refer this sugges- ton to the rules committee for further action pre- Vious to the opening Uf the of 1915.

THE YUKON-TANANA GOLD REGION

The first gold deposits found in inland Asllska were in the Yukon Panama region which com prises an upland diversified by broad valleys, stretching westward from the international boun- diary to the great bend of the Yukon. The earliest of the pioneer prospectors crossed the Chkoot pass about 1880 and six later began mining in the in- terior of Alaska after finding gold in the Yukon Panama region. since then this region has pro duced gold value of sS3,000,oo0. The United States Geological Survey began it's survey of this field, which embraces some 40o0O square miles, m 1898 With the issuing of the report on the portion of the region known as the Circle quadrangle, pub lished recently Bulletin 53S, geological and typo graphic reconnaissance maps. together with de- scrption of the mineral resources of this area, became available.
 The town of Circle from which the report takes it's name. is 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 fifty miles south Of it Lest the nearness of the Arctic circle be indicative oi ice and snow it should be noted that there are neither glaciers nor permanent snow in the Yukon Panama region Ii is. indeed land of fertile val leys and grassy slopes and during the snort but warm summers vegetation thrives, many grains can be rpened and vegetables grow luXuriantlY. ol course the of adequate railroad trans portation facilities be expected to greatly de- veop this entire region.
 The Circle quadrangle owes it's chief present importance the placer mines of the Birch creek district which, though worked in only small way, have produced gold to the value of nearly $5,o0O.-

PACIFIC COAST LUMBER INTERESTS

The lumber interests of the Pacific coast may be roughly divided into three groups--the so called Oregon pine group of the Puget Sound and Colum- bia river region. the sugar and white pine of the Sierra, and the redwood group of the NorNern California coast counties. In volume of output the northern group is much the largest d normal yearly being about 5000 000 000 the north 800 ooo,O00 for the Sierra group and 440.000.00O for redwood. The most valuable of these woods is the sugar pine. which constitutes about 20 per of the Sierra cut The market is largely in the east ern and middle states, which take nearly quite half the northern cut, but the upper grades all exported to all the continents Australia being much the largest foreign consumer. with the west coast of Central and South America next Each of these woods has special qualities for which it is valued-redwood for resistance to decay, Oregon pine for strength and the Sierra pines for pattern making and fine work All used largely for decorative finish Prices of lumber have been very low and the northern industry is much depressed. about 70 per of the cutting capacity being idle and the mills running having hard work break even. Redwood and Sierra interests report de mand good the low prices. All. however much encouraged by the present outlook, demand having greatly improved since the first of the year.-Monthy Bulletin of the Anglo and London Paris National Bank.

The "art city" which will consist of perma- nent schools and art galleries cree ted by the leading nations of the worll will be on the site Of the art exposition held at Rome 3 years ago. Both Italy and England have now completed their permanent structures while Germany, Russia and Argentina Republic have just closed uego-iarious for theirs. The building which the United States erected at the time Of the expOsi- ton for it's art exhibit and which was later presented by the United States government to the city of Rome is to be taken over by Seryla for it's permanent galley and school. Owing to the fact that the Amecl- can art academy at Rome is now eibng housed in the magnificent building erected for it by J. P. Morgan or the famous Janiculum Hill. the United States probably will not have a permanent palace of it's own in the art city.
