A Fairbanks dispatch says: In order to stop the northern rush of penniless men the Fairbanks Commercial Club has been urged by local news papers to send telegrams to Seattle and other Pacific Coast cities. Twenty-Five mushers are arriving daily from the coast, coming here in the ex- pectation of getting work on the railroad construction. There are plenty of opportunities here for men with some capital, but there is little hope for railroad work this coming summer. Letters and telegrams received from all parts of the country indicate that there will be a big rush into the interior upon the opening of navigation.

FOOLS AND FOOLS

tOOlS ANU fOOI0 It's rather late in the month to talk about April Fools and other fools, but the following by Chas. w. Bliss of the Hills boro, Ill.,, News is worth read ing.
 "April, the fourth month in the year, is derived from the Latin word aperire, which means to open this month. The first day of April is All Fools Day and should be dedicated to mankinde generally. for there are no bigger fools on Gods footstool than the human race. For men will work and strive and save for sixty years or
 more, they'll cheat their neigh Eors and their friends and wrong and rob the poor, they'll struggle hard to circumvent each others well-laid scheme and fight like greedy, hungry, hogs to gobble all the cream; they'll treasure here on earth 1 by means both foul and fair, and let their sleepless averice fill all their days with care. And when they've struggled three score years and piled up high their wealth, they find they've had to sacrifice their happiness and health, and though they may be rated in the plutocratic class, yet Old Man Death will come along and now them down like grass! And not un- i'll they come to die do these misguided men appreciate ana realize what blooming fools they've been!
 But there's another class of of men and they are wores fools yet, who never let the cares of life annoy them or fret They spend their days in indo- fence and ease and go through life as aimless as the tickle summer breeze. They do not work with hands or brain and think not of the morrow until old age and penury bring pen itence and sorrow. And when in. senile hopelessness their fruitless lives have sunk. the heartless world kicks them a. side as so much usless junk. The man who strives for power and wealth and looses rest and sleep, may be fool. but still he sows that other men may reap. And of the two I'll choose the man who works hard all his life instead of him who weak ly shrlnks from toll and care 
 and strife. The fool who works, the world will miss when Death calls and he goes, but none will mourn the drone when he turns up his toes.
 The world is full of other fools of more or less renown, the married fool, the single fool, the wise fool, and the clown, the pious fool, the wick cd fool, the fool who knows itI all, the simple fool, the crazy fool who's nutty on base ball | the golfing fool, the tennis fool, and the fool who rocks the boat, but the fool who thinks he's not fool is the fool who gets my goatr

Farm Products Will Rule High.

The man who anticipates return to
the land may rest assured that the
value of farm products will not decline
but on the whole will advance. The
value of land will advance. So from
standpoint of value of annual output
or value of the property, there will be
agreeable advances.
There are those among the unthink
ing in Wisconsin who have been pos
sessed of the idea that the movement
back to the land in this state and the
development of the vecant lands in the
upper counties would tend to reduce
the value of the crops grown on land
now in use. The facts are that it will
require an increase in the rate at
which new lands are being placed I'M
Ger cultivation to keep pace with the
increase of population in our own state
to say nothing of the additional food
stuffs that are required by the inoreas-
ing population of surrounding states
where there are no vacant lands.
The placing of new lands under cul-
tivation may tend to lessen the adj
vance in value of foodstuffs, but prices
are now as high as workingmcn-who
constitute the bulk of the consumers
can stand. To further advance the
price of foodstuffs at this time would
mean to limit consumption, which
alone from now on can reduce prices.
In fact the price of foodstuffs to the
consumer is already distressingly high
and in addition to added output atten.
ton is. being drawn to possible econo.
my In transportation and marketing in
order that some saving may come to
| the consumer.
1t is the duty of all who have the
common peoples interests at heart to
| join in a rational extension of agricuI
ture. There is no danger of having
too much land under cultivation.

PERG0LA AS AN ORNAMENT
Without Care, This Attractive Addi-
ton to House Is Worse
Than Useless.

It is an age of pergolas; they are
budding forth on remodeled houses,
incorporated in new houses and add
ed to old houses with an utter disre-
gard of true fitness. They begin no
where and lead nowhere. they sup
port no vines and consequently fur
nish no shade, and, In fact, half the
time look depressingly like nothing
so much as a section of elevated rail-
road
The well-used pergola whose frame
work Is covered each of the first few
years by the quick growth Of annual.
vines before the perennials cast
enough shade, is the ideal pergola. It
must have a use, misunderstanding
to or leading from somewhere; or be
a place to sit In and enjoy, else 1t
misses it's point entirely. Sometimes
the pergola is built for beauty alone,
a curving white section placed at the
far side of a pool-or at the end of
tennis court, against background of
green shrubbery, and In that case no
one can dispute the use If 1t pleasesi
the eye.
The pergola has more possibilities
than seem at first apparent. If the
growth Of vines be unsuccessful,
striped canvos awning can be
tire pergola screened on the inside,
which useful scheme need not detract
from the beauty.

THRIFTY CITIES OF ENGLAND
Municipalities Make Use Of Natural
Advantages, and Thereby Taxes
Are Lessened.

Glasgow sets a splendid example
Of thrift and enterprise to her sister
cities and towns of Great Britain.
She does not even scorn to collect
and sell her waste paper and to traf-
fic In scrap iron, thus adding many
hundreds a year to her exchequer.
Her cleansing department does bust
ness with half the counties Of Scot
land. She owns nearly 1000 railway
wagons, and does a wide range or
business, from bog-reclaiming to mar
ket gardening and butchers work.
Manchester takes a good second
place with an annual profit of, rough
ly, 100000. She does an excellent
trade in soap, oil and tallow, and 9TH
er allied goods Of her own manufac-
ture, and employs about 1900 men in
making mortar on a large scale; her
cleansing department Is the largest in
the kingdom, and she makes all kinds
of implements, wagons, brushes and
machines, while she has converted
hundreds OF acres OF marshland into
an agricultural paradise.
Halifax makes substantial proHt,
to the relief of the rates, from large
quarry which supplies the stone for
the paving of her streets; and Mac
clesfield is the owner of two such quar-
ries
Leeds makes such goodly profits
from her municipal water, gas and
tramways that her highway rate Is
but half what 1t would be otherwise;
while she has spent more than two
million pounds in practically rebuild
ing the whole of the central part or
the city.
Southfield is the fortunate owner
of a pier whose tolls, amounting to-
$4,000 and more year, pay her ed
vocational bill; and Yarmouth not only
has a similar money-earning pier, but
she earns a good income from her in
exhaustible supplies of mud. invalua-
BILE for making Roman cement, and
from her mines of single. which Is
in large demand by water companies
for f1ltering purposes.

Two Kinds of CITY Debt

David Starr Jordan, denouncing ex-
travagant governments of our time,
is alarmed by the enormous increase
of bonded debts OF European ant
American cities.
There is debt and debt. European
cities have gone heavily In debt during
the past four decades to buy revenue
producing utilities, and those proper
ties are paying for themselves out OF
their earnings. American cities, en-
1arging their bonded debt almost as
rapidly as European cities, have little
property Of this kind to show for 1t.
Our cities, like our railroads, are be-
ing used to enrich little groups of citf-
zens; whereas the European cities are
withdrawing from such favored groups
the age-old privilege of laying a profit
tax on the masses Of the people.-St
