BROKE LAST YEAR,
NOW WORTH $4,000
BOrrOWS So, Goes TO Alaska
and Makes Fortune.

Portland. Ore.-Dead broke less than
year ago and working at odd jobs
cleaning easements and yards in this
city and now worth $4,000. all of
which was secured through his own eff
forts, is the experience of w. B. Con
nell, an Alaska miner
To II. A. DaYie, deputy city attorney
of this city, is largely due much Of the
credit for the good fortune which has
befallen the lucky miner Connell
came to Davie last July with the story
that he knew Judge Davie, the local
attorneys father, who was formerly a
judge in British Columbia. He had a
hard luck story and pleaded for work
Davie gave him some odd jobs clean
ing the yard and basement in his
home, for which he paid the man 81.
After the work was completed the
stranger asked for Sc for railway fare
to Seattle, from which place he in
tended to go to Alaska. The man ap-
peared to be honest. and he gave Con
nell Sc
That was the last heard of the man
until few days ago, when he received
a letter written from the White Horse
river, Yukon territory. Connell said
that he had reached Alaska and had
gone to the Chisana gold fields and
there had located on three claims.

"OUR" SHIPS AND
PANAMA TOLLS

The argument against exemption of
American coasting ships from Panama
tolls is as follows: 1T is our canal and
therefore our ships should go through
free" Congressman who use this argu
ment are well aware that the ships are
not ours" but the private property Of
certain corporations. They know that
to exempt these ships is to give these
private corporations free use of public
property. Consequently the use Of the
argument quoted is rank misrepresenta-
ton. How fit for their positions are the
congressman who use it2-The Public.

Washington. - Do you remember
what the governor of North Carolina
said to the governor of South Caro-
lima? Well, the application of that
immortal principle made Victor Blue
famous.
Just now he is Rear Admiral Blue,
in command of the bureau of naviga-
ton of the navy department. That
bureau is to the navy a good deal
what a peculiarly broad gagged train
dispatcher, with collateral authority
over the general manager, might be
to a railroad. 1t practically runs the
department During the war with
Mexico it will be Blues duty to see
that the ships are provisioned and
coaled and manned. Between times he
will give the commanders their sailing
orders. The chief of this bureau is the
eyes and legs and right hand of the
average civilian secretary of the navy.
When he was Lieutenant Blue, Samp-
sons fleet was lying outside Santiago
harbor waiting for Cerveras fleet to
come out 1t didn't come. No one
was even positive that it was in.
"I'll find out" said Blue.
He went ashore alone, depending on
the guidance and escort of the Cuban
patriots who were camped in the tall
grass thereabouts. The patriots had
been badly skinned up that day in
sharp skirmish with the Spaniards
The Cuban chief was one of the
grouchiest Cuban chiefs Blue had ever
encountered. Wounded patriots We're

Invented an ingenious system Of inter

SURGEONS MAKE AN EYELlD.
Patient Had Been Burned About the
Head When a Child.

Baltimore.-A rare operation in Opt
cal surgery was performed at hOspi-
tai here when three large pieces of
skin were taken from the arm Of Miss
Sarah Trego to make a new lid for her
left eye. 1t is thought the sight of the
eye, which was rapidly falling on ac-
count of exposure, will be saved by
the operation. Already the grated
skin has started to take root. and the
patient can partly open and close the
eyelid.
After the skin was taken from Miss
Tregos arm the Scared tissue sur
rounding the eye and the membrane of
the lid were removed. In the denuded
area the skin of the patients arm was
grated.

When the sculptors at the Panama
Pacific International Exposition began
their work they had as an inspiration
a task which has appealed to the
imagination of the world for centuries,
the cutting of the barrier between the
Atlantic and Pacific oceans in the
Panama canal, and so they have re-
produced in the sculpture figures Of
the early explorers, pirates, the adven-
turers of the seas, the pioneers, path
finders. The picture above shows The

liant American sculptor.
