Calhoun Did Not Lead

Charleston, w. Va, June s.
Reports received at the State
Capitol from all sections of the
state indicate that there was a
very generous response to Gov
ernor Hatfieid's Good Road Days
proclamation. and it is estimated
that the average number Of men
on the roads on the two days set
apart by the Governor was in ex-
cess of thirty thousand.
Marion, Richie, Wetzel, Min
go, Grecnbrier, Lincoln and
Boone were the banner counties
of the state in the greatest num-
Der of persons who worked on
the roads proportionate to the
population of the counties. In
these counties practically all bus
mess was suspended and the en-
tire population spent the two
days in helping TO pull West
Virginia out of the mud"
The proclamation of Governor
Hatfield was the first of its kind
in West Virginia and tn great
success of the occasion has been
extrmely gratifying. Wn.e the
purpose Of the Cover or il set

Roads work was largely t. create
public sentiment in the cause of
improving the states high ways,
there was obtained through the
labor of the thousa' ds of cl,izens
of the state who turned out on
those two days, many hundreds
of miles of permanent y improv-
ed highways.

1t is said to be the intention of
the Governor to make Good

West Virginia during the re-

 TRANSPOSEO

Elktns, w. Va, March 24-Is q person of reversed anatomy who uses the right hand as do other folks left handed? And if such a person gets appendicitis merely where the appendix ought to be, what has that person got?
 These are but two Of the quest ions puzzling West Virginia phys icians since Mrs. Laura Caasel, of Widdel, w. Va, was operated Cn at the Davis Memorial Hospital here. Upon operating, the surgeons fail ed to find an appendix. EXamina- tion then disclosed that the appen- dix was on the left side and unin- fected, that the haert was on the right side, the right lung where the left should be and vice versa, and liver, kidneys, and other or gans just opposite where they be- longed. But sine carried out her principal tasks with the right hand it was noted, and hence the ques- tior: "Is she right-handed or left handed."?

QUEEN CAUSES
 4 SENSATION

Rome, March 25-Beginning to- day, the royal palao of the Quir- inal will be constantly guarded by secret service agents in plain clothes whose duty it will be to act as a secret guard to Queen El- ena whenever she may again take it into her head to go shopping on fCot. The Queen recently caused the hair of the entire personnel of the departmnt of public safety to stand on end by quietly slipping out of the palace with three of tie royal children and doing a little informal shopping afoot
 As usual the royal carriage had been called for her and a mounted escort was awaiting when the queen decided to go shopping just like she used to in the streets of COttigne when she was merely prin- cess Elena of Montenegro. What she had done was discovered half an hour later. An exited telephons message was sent to the depart n.ent of public safety and in less than jiffy the entire force was currying the streets of Rome to find what had become of the Queen and the three royal children.
 She was discovered later quiet ly buying lace at a store estab- lished by Queen Mother Margher- ita for the benefit of the Italian peasant women amongst whom the queen Mother has revived the lace making industry. queen Elena who had successed in reaching the store unrecognizeed and unobserv- ed was escorted back to the Quir- inal by the entire department of public safety.

KING DIES IN
 POVERTY

St. Petersburg, March 25-The last Of the Kings of Jerusalem" Prince Michael of Lusignan, has just died here in poverty and mis- cry. Prince Michael was the last Ufrshoot of Lusiguan the Crusader, later King of Jerusalem and Cyp- rus. King Louis of Lusignan fled 10 Russia when the Turks captur- ed Cyprus in 1882.
 Czar Nicholas l made him a Captain in his guard. Ludwig hop ed sor wears that Russia would help to replace him on his throne but he finally became resigned to his late and wheen the Grecian throne was offered to the ex-King he was so apathetic that he de clined it. In 1868 Ludwig began an action against Turkey for $5O,000,- 900 for property which he claimed had been cOnfiscated. He never received a penny.
 Ludwig VI died in 1884 at the age of 77 having lived for years on Russian charity. His son, Prince Michael, was then 24. The latter spent his entire time dreaming about the heroic deeds of his cru sade- ancestors.
 In a comic opera uniform of general with three crowns on his epaulets-Jerusalem, Cyprus and Syria-Over which he claimed to be the legitimate king, Michael was for years a we'll known figure in the streets of St. Petersburg. In the last few years he has been little more than a beggar. He died among paupers and beggars in the miserable ward of the poorest char ity hospital in St. Petersburg.

You will find them far more wor- thy objects than sick cats, dogs and horses. I hope you will take my words to hear"

Washington, March 35-Merch- ants in Washington have lost a time honored privilege-the right to have their freight backed up 10 the rear door and have it dumped there without extra charge.

They admit that they haven't show of getting free store door delivery reinstated, but they told the commission that, if the delivery is omitted the old freight rates ought to be lowered.

GEORGE BARNETT DUES NIT
 THINK MUCH 0F THE CHISANA

George Barnett, who left Skag- way for the Chisana the 4th of last August, which latter point he reached on the Ed of September and where he has been ever since, until he left on his return on the 12th of this month, reached here on the last trip of the Northwest ern from CordoYa. In his opinion tho Chisana gold fields are not destined to become great produc- CTS, although he is convinced from personal observation that three claims on Bonanza and two on Lit tie Eldorado, the James discovery cry claims, will turn out a large amount of gold before they are worked out.
 MT. Barnett says: These claims are all shallow, and only require about is inches of stripping on the surface for the miners to reach the pay gr"Tel, all h." .E vhich can be plainly seen with the naked eye coarse nuggets, the cLeanups never yet having revealed any fine CT flour gold.
 Notwithstanding that there has been an immense amount of pros pccting done ui;ng the past win ter on the various creeks, nothing O. any importance has been un- covered ID to the time I left. Be- fore coming out I spent a week in looking over the work that had been done. On O'Brieu creek and Alder Gulch many holes had been sunk, on the later there be- ing several that were down from 60 to S5 feet without reaching bedrock, but upon which the own CTS were compelled to abandon " TX on account of water. It is expected to have two or three Key stone drills on these creeks short ly.
 "On Bow creek water was also struck before reaching bedrock. hut Mr. Curtis of Seattle, one of the clIim owners, went out to Me Carthy and brought in over the glacier trail several pumps, by the help of which the miners are con fident they will be enabled to con- trol the water and get to bedrock.
 On the James claims, on Bo- nanza and Littlee Eldorado, now owned by ATanley, Price & Ives, preparations are going ahead rap idly for resumption of work in the early spring. These properties are above the timber line, at an elevation of probably 5000 feet and all the fuel used will have to be hauled several miles. The town Of Chisana itself is in Q basin at an elevation of about 5000 feet.
 Never since my advent in the north have I experienced such de- lightful weather as l did in the Chisana last winter. In the fall the days were bright and sunshiny and during the winter the thermo- meter never went below 40 minus, and it was more often between 20 and 30 below, with no wind. Why, ip the coldest weather last winter I worked out all day and never once pulled the flaps of my cap down over my ears.
 There is a great deal of mis- representation about :he trail over the glacier from Mccarthy to the gold fields. With the exception of one place on the glacier, about 8 miles in length, and which is ex-. tremely dangerous, the entire route between the two places is in good
The daily Alaskan., 1914-03-25

shape, considering -eFerything. l cameo out to Mccarthy with a dog team in two days and was snow bound there for five days and af- ter getting to Chitina I was again delayed for three days.
 But those three miles I spoke of on the glacier trail are certain ly calculated to make one use ev- cry precaution in mIshing over them. There are crevasses every little while, over which both men and horses have to cross on the most primitive and hastily construc- ted bridges where 3 false step woull more than likely plunge the unfortunate making 1t to unknown depths below. In addition to these known dangers there is the un- known one of the new creyasses, the opening of which are of daily occurrence and only to be avoided bya those experienced in this meth oa of travel.
 The number of horses that are lost in thoso three miles is some thing enormous and Freedman, who has a pack train from McCar- try to Chisana. never makes trip between the two places without losing one or more of his animals.
 "Only a short time before I came ever the trail a musher lost his footing while crossing one of these bridges and slipping and sliding and vainly trying to save hmself, went over thee side and disappear ed from view. Fortunately for him there was a fault in the creyasse and instead of going perpendicular ly down, the opening, a few feet from the surface, turned to one side at an angle of only a few de- grees from horizontal. After slid ing down this incline for about 60 it. his untintentionals toboggan was brought to an abrupt close either by reaching the bottom Of the ere vase or else from an obstruction. 4 rope was passed down to him and he was shortly afterward haul cd to the surface, none the worse for his hair-raising experience.
 "On another occasion a pack horse went off one of the bridges and could be seen many feet below wedged in the crevasse on his back. There being no way to get him out one of the packers was lowered with a rope who, after shooting the horse, loosened- the pack and sent it to the surface.
 Freight is now being taken in from Mccarthy for 12 cents pound and it will only be short time until the rate is reduced to 10 cents. There is a great deal of travel over the trail, and in consequence it is kert in good shape for the greater part of the distance.
 Hast winter the miners in the Chisana had an abundance of fresh meat, for the country is full of game. Mountain sheep meat could be had for 25c per pound, while moose and caribou retailed for about 15 cents.
 There is bound to be- a great deal of litigation over claims in the Chisana, for some of them have been relocated by several diff ferent parties, and I know of one which has as many as 19 claim ants, notwithstanding the title to its ownership is now on trial in the territorial courts
