State Senator Hudson, candidate
for governor, is touring the State in
an automobile but is not making any
speeches in this trying weather
when people don't want to listen to
oratory, but are willing to hear con-
versation. 1t is excellent policy on
the part of Mr.. Hudson, and those
candidates fond of the sound of their
own voices in spread-eagle ballahoo
work, would do well to follow his
example. Mr. Hudson was in Live
Oak Monday and the Democrat of
that city, speaks of his visit as fol-
lows:
"Mr. Hudson came in Monday
with his family. He is travelling in
his touring car and is not making
political speeches, but merely get
ting acquainted with the people in
the different parts of the State. Sem
ator Hudson gives the impression of
being strong man and has good
personality. He made numerous
friends while here and later in the
campaign will return .

The attention of the Journal has
been called to the fact that small
boys have, in several instances,
been given special permits to
drive cars, in spite of the rulesf that
prohibit the driving of cars by per-
sons under the age of sixteen years.
Just how these special permits" are
obtained and what constitutes a
claim to this privilege, The Journal
is not in a position to say, but it

CONTEMPLATED PAVING
BRINGS FORTH MORE RE-
MARKS FROM D. CROCKETT

In the Lakeland Telegram of the
Goth inst, Mr.. Holworthy concludes
his article by saying:
I'VE ought to have thorough
ventilation on all matters in cOnnec-
tion with the proposed paving in Or
der that there may be an intelligent
understanding of all questions in
volved and no further delay neccs-
sary -
I heartily endorse this sentence,
as it is principal that have been

ing to keep the way open for com
petitive bids on the different mater
ials for paving in Lakeland and Polk
county and allow the people that pay
the bills a chance to have something
to say about what kind of pavement
they will have.
1t takes but little intelligence to
see Mr.. Holworthy is trying very
hard to put sand-asphalt on the
streets of Lakeland. In comparing
the cost of sand-asphalt and rocmac,
he puts l-2 inches of sand-asphalt
against 3 inches OF rocmac wearing
surface and 3 inches of rock fDun-
dation. Two and a half inches of
sand-asphalt may be worth more to
Mr.. Holworthy than the rocmac
paving, but I don't think this would
be the case with the property own
ers. Mr. Holworthy has a bonafde
bid from reputable firm on rocmac
and his cost on sand-asphalt is
guesswork A foundation that
would hold up sand-asphalt would
held up any pavement, so, if we
leave off the rock foundation, it
would considerably reduce the cost
of rocmac.

crete work would consent to put

clay foundation, but brick could be
used and give good results.
The clay streets could be scarified,
put in shape and rolled, then the
brick laid fiat on a sand cushion OF
1-2 inches and grouted with ce-
ment and sand. This would give
give a good pavement and would not
cost over $ so per square yard.
1t would save time and trouble if
the city commissioners would set a
time to hear from the property own
crs on this paving question, take up
each street separately and at diff
fcrent time, as it is not likely the
property owners on the different
streets would all select the same
kind of pavement.

Dick Spillane, who is writing syn
dictate stuff for the papers these
days, missed it by not being in Gal
weston last Monday when the hurri-
cane struck that city. Dick was there
in 1900 and was the first man to
give the big dailies the story of that
horror. He got through the blow
alive, managed to get to the main
land and in state of fearful en-
haustion negotiated the fifty miles
to Houston, afoot and on a handcar.
and without stopping to eat, sleep or
change his shirt, sent off specials to
the New York dailies for which they
paid him $500. That was Opportun-
ity knocking at Dicks door, which
he promptly opened, and since then
he has found a ready market for all
the stuff he could write. The moral
from this to all struggling young re-
porters, as Dick was, is to stick
around and wait for hurricane
and when it comes, grab it by the
tail and let it swing you to fame
and fortune.

ALASKA GIRL OF FOURTEEN
 AS MOUNTAIN CLIMBER

Elizabeth Foster, II years old, Alaskas youngest mountain climber, reached Seattle yesterday on her way back to her home in Fairbanks, says the Seattle Post Intelligen- cer of September :. Mrs. E. l. Foster, her mother, and Richard Foster, her brother, are with her at the Frye hotel.
 Miss Foster, red checked, healthy out door girl has the distinction of having been farther up the side of Mount Mckinley, the highest mountain peak on the contl- nent, than any other child. In 1910, with her father and mother, she mushed from their home in the kantishna hills to the pass which connects the Yukon with the southern watersheds She has her own dog team and mushes into the hills often from the little cabin where her father and mother live.
 T am tired of the Outside" she com plained yesterday to a friend. T want to 20 back home 1 want to be where l know someone, where there are mountains and, most of all, dog teams
 Miss Foster was born in Dawson, and then moved to Fairbanks with her parents when the Panama stampede was on. Her father was for years United States com missioner in the Kantishna district On several occasions she has driven her own ,og team over the lonely 200 mile trail from F fairbanks. On one occasion. when she was but 10 years old she travelled POO miles and at the gee pole of a sled at that.

Harry Watson is preparing to furnish the residents of Iditarod with new form of recreation this winter, which promises to be exceedingly popular and to provide d change from the customary dancing parties. In one of the last shipments from the Out side Mir W atson received a consignment of roller skates, and as soon as arrangements are made for hall they will be unpacked and put in use.
 It is the pIan of MT Watson, if arrange ments can be made, to secure the A. B. hall for skating rink on several nights q week A small fee will be charged. but it iS not expected to be a big money making enterprise. The object is to furnish a pleas ant and healthy form of recreation. Harry states that the use of the hall fer this pur- pose will in 10 wise injure the flor for dancing purposes, and demonstration of the effect of the skates on the hardwood floor will be made within few days.

W. T. Vanderpool resident of Dlkeman, was brought before United States Commls- soner Guy Geraghty on Tuesday afternoon last, charged with unlawful cohabitation with native woman known as Sophie. He waived examination and was bound over to the grand jury in the sum of S2,0O0. At last accounts the bail had not been fur nished, and the prisoner was in the custody of the marshal at the federal Jail
 The case IS one which has created good deal of comment, and it had been expected that some action would be taken by the authorities. It is said that the young na- tive woman is about to become mother, and there is another child issue of the ille- gal union. Nanderpool was granted di- vorce from his white wife, who is supposed to be in Fairbanks, last summer by Judge Bunnell It was expected that he would marry the native girl when he was free tC do so, and his failure is responsible for hi; arrest.
 The witnesses summoned in the case were James Fullerton, Emil Jensen, Jerry Baker and Frank Watson

DAN McCARTYS HUNCH
 WON FOR HIM A FORTUNE

Seventeen years ago Dan McCarty, Alaska s0urdougn, played prospector's hunch in the gold mining game and lost, says the Seattle Post -lntelligencer He staked claim in the creek bed of the most promising stream in the Fairbanks district; other pros pectors came along and staked claims on the hillSides. He went broke; others made for tunes. Dan McCarty, six months ago, left Seattle and went to the Tolovana. the new est of Interior AlasEa's mining camps, hush ing forty miles over rough trail from Fairbanks. He played prospactor's hunCh again but this time it was a different hunch from his first Others staked claims in the creek bed he staked claims on the hillside and won, Less than month ego he sold half interest in his holdings fer $34 GOO.
 Dan McCarty reached Seattle Monday, prepared to see the exposition and then the East
 Pioneers in the Fairbanks district know Dan McCarty well He was among the first to stake on Claary creek, a stream which has rolled up gold production record of Sl0O0O0G0 in ten years time. He couldn't find the pay while a stones throw away other miners were cleaning up their rifles and filling their pokes with dust.
 The Tolovana district, northwest of Fair banks, was discovered early in the winter. When the news of the discovery seeped to the States, McCarty started North.
 ''Ihe camp looks like it will amount to something after a little more prospecting has been done" said MT. McCarty. Four miles of pay has been proved up already, but the ground is likely to be spotted. for the formation is slate instead of schist, as are both the Fairbanks and Ruby districts. Bed rock is from forty to 100 feet deep, and prospecting Is slow work
