No more gratifying news has been received here for a long time than was contained iu a telegram from Captain Sid Burlington to Captain P. Martin to the effect that there was no truth in the report circulated here last .week that be had lost one of his legs as the result of an automobile accident in Se- attle. All of Captain Sid's friends, aud they are legion, will rejoice to know that, aside from having been frequently pulled" his legs are both intact and serving the purpose for which they were intended.

Professor Haultain, of Toronto Uni versity, in the course of a paper on"The Stimulation of Prospecting" observed: {: 'We need prospectOrs and prospecting. Kellogg's historic burro which stood on the outcrop of what is now the Bunker Hill E Sullivan until his party came up to him, and Artemus Wards pictur. esque mule that kicked it's drunken owner over the precipice to fall on the Long Lost Lode are of the ideal type of prospectors, full of bull-headed luck and willing to let the other fellow have all the profits. Unfortunately we have not enough of this type. Next to these comes the old-tme Western prospector, not SO full of luck but almost as care less of his own profits. What be lacks in luck be makes up in hope.

1t is reported that a number of the employees at Treadwell are taking ad- vantage of the opportunity offered to subscribe for stock in the Alaska Ju neau Gold Mining Company. The in cident shows, first, fine confidence in the judgment aud integrety of Mir.

To be an Alaskan is something Co be proud of Men who will invest their savings in the industry that provides them sustenanceare men worthy of consideration.

AN OBSERVING INDIVIDUAL

Geo. J. Gardiner, county engineer,
was mingling among his old friends
and neighbors for a day or two this
week, and he expressed pleasure at
being back on his old stamping gound,
even for a short time. Mr.. Gardiner
lis careful observer and subtitle rea-
sOner, conservative in his attitude up
on any question of public policy,
weighing and considering a subject
4 from every angle before expressing
his views, and then expressing them
Sforcefully and convincingly. 1t was
ia pleasure to meet and hold converse
with him. He was just back from a
state meeting of commissioners and
county engineers, held at Chehalis,
and was accompanied on the trip by
Commissioners Nixon and Miller Ma
turally gathering of engineers rep
resents collection of men above the
average in intelligence and character,
and Mr.. Gardiner derived much pleas
ure and secured considerable informa-
tion during the session. He says he
will never again attach blame to a
legislator for not securing appropria-
tions for this county, for in the face
OF the thorough organization on the
west side, by which every interest is
safe guarded before the legislature,
and appropriation secured through
organized effort with every ramifica-
is no hitch in the means and methods
employed, it is extremely difficult for
legislator from the COW countries,
working alone with little organized
backing, to get his fist into the public
grub box for the benefit of his con-
stituents.
Roads were the chief subject of dis
cussion at the meeting of the county
engineers, for that is the principal
problem for county engineers to solve.
Mr. Gardiner learned much from the
experience and ideas expressed by
those present, practical men in the
business of good roads making, and
had his eyes opened to the extent and
expense Of road building on the west
side. The west siders took up and
discussed cement as an element in the
making of roads, which was technically
interesting to Mr.. Gardiner, but as
gravel and macadam are the limit OF
the hopes of east side engineers he
saw no chance to practically apply the

hogan county. Mr.. Gardiner states
that thousands upon thousands of dol.
lars have been spent on permanent

roads on the west side. AS a result
there are some most excellent high
ways in that part of the state, as there
should be considering what they have
cost. He heard one piece of road work
mentioned that cost 100000 for seven
eights of mile. At that rate he fig
ured that the people of this county
would be lucky if about 100 yards of
road was constructed annually. One
road, the scenic highway, has cost a
mint of money, and yet so far as ac-
commodating the general public, the
road is not as important as would be
4 highway up and down the Okanogan
valley.
Another interesting topic that Mr..
Gardiner discussed is the formation of
the road and municipal improvement
district, for securing desired improve
ments, and it would be we'll for the
people of any town, or district in the
county contemplating bonding for I'M
provements to call Mr.. Gardiner into
consultation before taking the step.
A movement for certain improvements
appeals to the property owners to be
benefited, and they will accept a
without stopping to weigh the cost or
consequences In a matter so i'm
portant as creating a debt that must
be met sometime, and of which the
abutting property is held good, 1t
would be just as well to make haste
slowly. Mr.. Gardiner cited a case of
a road improvement district that resi-
dents of certain part of the coun-
ty clammored for vociferously, with
out stopping for inside information,
and now those residents are called up
or for payments that will probably
throw some of them into bankruptcy.
Public improvements sound very at
tractive in general conversation, and
can be presented in such bright colors
as to arouse a desire for immediate
action. But cooler second thought, in
the face of the law governing bonding
for such purpose, may act as cold
douche upon those who at first blush
favor such investments. Mr.. Gardiner.
is posted on the law, and as stated
above, it would be we'll to hear his
explanation of what is required be-
fore going blindly into extensive i'm
provements requiring bonding.
