NEWS NOTES

Charley Harper returned yesterday from the Cache creek country where he has been since last February. The dredge of the Cache Creek Dredging company was to have started over land yesterday, It will be drawn by twenty horses. Mir. Harper will go back to the Knik couitry in few days.
 Oscar Nord arrived in Seward late last night over the trail from ldita- rod. On account of heavy fresh snow the trip took him something over three weeks. The mining season, he states, has been a successful one. Be- tween thirty and forty local mining men will leave IditarOd for Seward immediately after Christmas. Mir. Nord will leave for the Sitka hot springs by the next steamer.
 Joseph Vogler, proprietor of the Rohn river roadhouse sends word that the trail is now in good condition and the travel already passing that point is larger than usual at this season.
 k. w. Graham arrived over the trail from Anchorage yesterday. He states that the trail is good all the way with the exception of a small run near n.
 Roy Fairbanks, a drygoods mer- chant of Anchorage, arrived yester' day from his home town over the trail. He may be regarded as the vanguard of the Anchorage people who will make this their port for the winter.

cording to the accounts of the return ing stampeders the creek and benches had been literally staked. c. R. Cameron of Flat City and partner, Jimmy Brewer, were the first to arrive on the scene following the original party, and they staked claims including No. 1 below discovery.
 The new strike, if it results in any thing of importance, will naturally be ! an addition to the business field of Iditarod. It is about days travel from this city, the trail leaving the river a short distance from the Half way roadhouse. It would not be at all surprising if more developments arose in this section, as the influx of prospectors into a region known to be mineralized may be expected to re- suit in the sinking of many holes on the various creeks.
 There have been stampedes to this creek in previous years, but it is be- lieved that owing to a misunderstand- ing of the topography of the country, none of the participants in the previ- ous stampedes ever reached Horesfy creek, There appears to have been an impression that 'Horsehy was a tributary of First Chance creek, whereas it flows directly into the Iditarod.
 Mir. Dawson stated to The Pioneer after his return that while there had not been much work done at the new find, the indications were such as to warrant prospecting. He is interest 
 ed with Frank Salen and Nels Neil son, the discoverers, who have been in the district for two years past. He stated that he banned dirt from the discovery claim and found coarse gold, ranging in size from a few cents up to one nugget which weigh ed in the neighborhoOd of so cents. Some pans revealed no colors, how ever. While not advising rush to the new district, he states that it is a most hkely-loOking neighborhood. The formation, which is a most i'm portant factor in the eyes of mining men, is porphyry and granite. There is lot of quartz and some schis'. There is also little sandstone, which is not looked upon so favorably.- Pioneer.

GEOGRAPHICAL PUZZLES.
Where Were Ultima Thule and the Lost
Atlantis Located?

A most puzzling geographic mystery
has come down from ancient times.
This is the old question as to the iden-
tity of Ultima Thule. 1t was about 400
B. c. that Pytheas, a citizen of Mas
silia sailed on his famous voyage. He
discovered Albion and then continued
farther north until he reached a spot
which he named Ultima Thule. What
this country was has never been deter
mined. 1t may have been Shetland or
Norway or Iceland.
Another ancient puzzle is that of At
lantis. 1t is commonly believed now
adays that this vanished continent did
once actually lie beyond the pillars of
Hercules, and there are theories unend-
ing concerning it. Some regard the
Canary islands as fragmentary remains
Of it, others think that the supposedly
lost land was really America; but, in
considering these speculations, it is
well to bear in mind the fact that the
first mention of the country was made
by Plato, and many scholars are sure
that the philosopher merely INDUCED in
an imaginative fight. The solitary evil
dence that Atlantis ever existed is his
reference to it.-Chicago Herald.

Origin of Humbug.

1t is not generally known that the
word "humbug," long so much in
vogue, is of Scottish origin. There
was in olden time race called Bogue
or Boag of that ilk in Berwickshire.
A daughter of, the family married
son of Hume, of Hume. In process of
time, by default of male issue, the
Bogue estate devolved on one Geordie
Hume, who was called popularity
Hume of the Bogue,' or, rather, Hum
O. the Bug"
He was inclined to the marvellous
and had vast inclination to exalt
himself, his wife, family, brother and
all his ancestors on both sides. His
tales, however, did not pass current,
and at last. when any one made an ex-
traordinary statement in the Nearns,
the nearer would shrug up his Shout
ders and style it just "a hum o. the
bug" This was shortened into hum
bug, and the word soon spread over
the whole Observation-Disclosures In

Gov. Park Trammell has, in an in
terview with the Tallahassee cores
pendent of the Times Union, admitted
that when the proper time comes he
will announce his candidacy for Con-
gress from the First Florida district.
The First district has been represent
ed in congress for the past 20 years
by Hon. S. M. Sparkman, who it is
given out by his close friends, will not
be candidate for reelection. Gov.
Trammell is not only strong in the
State, but he is particularly strong
in the First congressional district.
That he will win the nomination
there will be little doubt among those
who are familiar with political sem
timent in that district. Not being of
the district, The Palatka News can
give the Governor nothing more than
its moral support, which it hereby
cheerfully pledges. Senator Drane
of Lakeland has also announced that
he will be a candidate, but being a
cautious man it is probable that the
Senator will now find way to with
draw without injury to his pride.

of Mayor of jacksonville last Tuesday,
having a plurality of IT'S votes over ].
E. T. Bowden, DIR. Johnson and R.
Grunthal. A second primary will be
held and the contest will be narrowed
to Swearingen and Bowdeh. The
former is the present mayor, and the
only objection to him is that he has
enforced the laws impartially. Bow,
den is the candidate of the wide-open
town element. So were Johnson ant
Grunthal, though DIR. Johnson would
not say as much. Swearingen has &
good chance of winning, as it is pre-
dicted that much of the Johnson vot,
will go to him. The labor vote il

The News can have no issue with
the Somers System of Realty Equali-
cation as represented by Mr.. William
Young, who is endeavOring to have
the Palatka city council pay his COM
pany $4,000 for perfecting "scienti-
fic system" of equalizing the tax val
ues of Palatka city property. His
system may be a good one, probably
is, but the law makes the City Council
itself the equalizer of the values plac-
ed on properties by the assessor, and
does not contemplate the delegation
of such power to another. Nor would
the work of the scientific equalizers'
be final; to be legal the council would
still be required to sit as board OF
equalization. The employment of Mr.
Young would not serve the purpose
for which he was engaged. The coun
Gil would have the undoubted right t.
employ this system of scientific
equalization; though there is no pro
vision of law for it, there is none t.
prevent it. But it is certain that il
putting the city to this expense of 81,

Some of Palatka's best and broad
est minded business men are on the
City Council, men whom The News
believes in and whom it would under
ordinary circumstances be willing to
follow; but they will excuse us if we
decline to go with them on this "sci-
entifc" equalization business. It's
too expensive and at best is bound to
prove a delusion and a snare. If it
were bound to reduce the tax Kicker
to minimum, it might be worth the
money. But like the poor, he would be
with us always, and perhaps in in
creasing numbers.

Clearing For Action.

When a warship is cleared for action
not only is everything movable on the
decks removed or made secure, but
every article made of wood is, as far
as practicable, thrown overheard.
Sofas, tables, chairs, pianos, all the
furnishings of officers quarters, in fact,
are hurriedly put over the side by the
bluejackets, and in few minutes as
much as $1,000 worth of stuff is float
ing round the Dreadnought At the
moment that a warship is preparing to
fire not single soul is to be seen on
the decks. All the sailors are below
working the guns and getting the am
munition ready.-London Answers.

BECAUSE HE is RICH.

Harry X. Thaw, recently ordered
back to New York from the quiet
New England town and perhaps the
only happy days of his life, by the
federal court, was delivered over to
that State last Sunday and spent the
day in the Toombs prison. He had to
leave the new neighbors who have
learned to like the bright, clever
young chap, and go to New, York for
another series of legal clashes.
Thaw is on the Federal court rec
ords as a sane man charged with the
sane crime of conspiracy to escape
from an insane asylum. OF this mud
die Deputy Attorney General Kennedy
of New York says:
No one knowing the history and
condition of Mr.. Thaw could feel
anything but pity for him, but
pity cannot stand in the way of
establishing and indicating so
important and fundamental
principle in a GemOCracy-that
in the due course of the admin
istration of law no distinction or
discrimination should be shown
between the rich and powerful
and the poor and obscure.
This sounds like a noble defense OF
equity, but it betrays its weakness
Every one knows that Thaw is now
being pursued because he is rich
man and brilliant quarry. His re-
capture, his re-incarceration, will dc
no possible good to him as patient
or to the State of New York. II
merely makes record for those who
recaptured him.
If Thaw had been a poor man he
might not have been acquitted of the
murder of White. If he were a pool
man he would never have trOdden the
garish paths that led to that crime
Buff Thaw were poor man ant
had been aquictted on the ground Of
insanity, he would have been allowed
to pass through his "brain-stOrm'
period in Matteawan and then woult
have been allowed to go.
If Thaw is guilty of conspiracy, hi
is not insane in the cOmmOn-sens'
meaning of that word. If he was no
insane he should have been released
from Matteawan long ago like a poo
man.
In neither case has he had full jus
tice. Instead, he has been made TIL
victim of Roman triumph for SOM
officials.
Thaw is a rich man, and therefor
he does not get the justice of common
sense. He is harnessed so that he cal

out the knowledge of any local organ

THE COMING
VETERANS REUNION.

That is a peculiar piece of news
we see in some of the State papers
to the effect that Palatka, select
ed at the Lakeland meeting as the
next place for holding the State
Confederate reunion, was rather
cool on the proposition and had
invited the old soldiers to meet
there more in perfunctOry than
a cordial and sincere spirit. AS
result of this the 0cala Star in
Inmates strongly that Ocala would
be mighty glad to have the Vet
Grams with her if there is any
doubt about the warmth of their
welcome at Palatka. We hope
that there is some mistake about
this matter, for ii is incredible
that any city in Florida should
give grudging entertainment to
such body of men.-Lakeland
Telegram.
We trust the 0cala Star, the Lake.
land Telegram and "other State pa
pers" will cease to worry over the
warmth of the welcome with which
Palatka proposes to receive the Con
federate Veterans of Florida at theil
1915 reunion in this city. If so b.
that it turns out to be more in a per
functory than in cordial and sincere
spirit" it will be something for tn,
Vets themselves to tell about aftel
the reunion. 1t is hardly the prOpe
spirit for other cities and towns o
the State to anticipate a "grudging
reception and entertainment. Palat
ka never has been guilty of such
reception, and certainly it is not goini
to begin with the old Veterans of tn
COnfederacy. No, not in this year o
our Lord, 1915.
II is a fact that Palatka has no 10
cal organization of Confederate Vet
Grams; that we have only few scat
tered veterans now where few year
ago there were many. They have an
swered the last roll call. But "DiX
lie" still stirs the hearts of our peopl
