Representatives of the Onion Con struction Company, of San Francisco, recently went over the trail to Fair banks enroute to Circle district, where they will set up a mammoth dredge on Mastodon creek for the Berry brothers. The dredge will have a capacity of 2,O00 yards per day.
 There is now lying at Sulzer, Alaska, awaiting a freight boat, the first ship meut of bariumite ore ever made from the territory. This new ore is used to mix with white lead in the making of paint and is found in only one place in the United States. The mine ia at Limestone Point, about ten miles from Sulzer. The ledge is forty feet wide and it is estimated there is enough ore to furnish the paint mills with all they can use for years.-EX.
 The S. S. Polotofski, said 10 be the oldest steam vessel in the Alaska serv- ice, was recently reported as pounding to pieces on the rocks in St. Michaels bay. This old steamship was built by the Russians more than half a century ago. Four such vessels were construct ed by the Russians during the late 6fties, the hulls being constructed of native timbers. They were launched in Alaska and up to the time of Amer. ican purchase were actively engaged in commerce between Alaska and Vladi- vostok or Kamchatka, and it is reported that the Polotofski is the vessel which was engaged in carrying cargoes of ice to San Francisco more than half cen tury ago.
 The Seward Gateway says: Over on the Kenai river, Deputy Game Warden Ericson says some of the men have taken up again the search for treasure supposed to have been hidden there by the Russians. Mir. Ericson has seen himself several old shafts and dumps dug by the Russians long before Port ace bay got the idea that it would be a railroad terminal. He returned the day before yesterday from that quarter aud at that time the search was on. There are two stories about the gold. One is that it was hidden by convicts, but for the sake of local color convicts are always dragged into stories of Russia. It is said that some of the na. tives have nuggets in their possession from the hidden bunch, but that they keep it quiet not to let the whites get too wise.

WHY SHOULD
WOMEN VOTE?
WoMAN'S SUFFRAGE FROM THE
VIEWPOINT OF LEADING
FARMERS.

Why should women vote? That is
the question that is ringing from
ocean to ocean and reverberating from
the Canadian boundary to the Mexi-
can border. 1t Is the mission Of a
lnewpaper to give the news and the
action of the Texas Farmers Union
in opposing woman's suffrage when
that question was recently before the
Texas legislature is significant as
representing the attitude Of the or
,ganized plowmen. We reproduce in
part the argument presented by Hon.
w. D. Lewis, president Of the Texas
Farmers Union, in opposing the bill:
1T is gratifying to note that 1t is
not the farmers wife who is clamoring
for the ballot. She Is too busy
trying to make happier homes, mold
ing the minds of future citizens and
sharing with her husband the cares
of life to indulge in political gossip.
The ballot will give her no relief from
drudgery, give no assistance In cloth

opportunities in life. 1t is, as rule,
the city woman promoted to idleness
by prosperity, who is leading the suf-
fragette movement.
From many standpoints, perhaps
a woman has as much right to vote
as a man. So has she as much right
to plow as man; she has as much
right to work in a factory as a man;
she has as much right to shoulder a
musket as man, but we would rather
she would not do so from choice
and we regret that necessity ofttimes
compels her to earn a living by en-
gaging in gainful occupations. We do
not consider misfortune a qualifica-
ton for suffrage or business acci-
dent reason for granting franchise.
We are opposed to woman at the
ballot box the same as we are op-
posed to woman in the field, in the
factory or in the army and for the
self-same reasons. We had rather
see her plant flowers than SOW wheat;
gather bouquets than pick cotton and
rear children than raise political is
sues, although she may have as much
right to do one as the other.

OBSERVATION CELLS
FOR GOOD PRISONERS

ATLANTA, June 10.-The new ad-
dition to the federal prison here is so
arranged that prisoners locked in
their cells, instead of staring at the
cold gray walls, will have an attrac-
tive view through wide open windows
of the outside world, the trees and
grass, and even of the streetcars and
people pass. in front of the prison
gate.
This is a new departure in prison
arrangements, and only a man who
has had much to do with prison life
can appreciate what change it is.
The cells in addition will be reserved
for the best behaved convicts.

THEMISTOCLES

When Themistocles was asked by
his host at dinner party to enter
tain the guests by playing the lutte, he
replied that he could not play the
fiddle, but that he could make a small
town a great city. We have in this
nation many politicians who are good
"f1ddlers," but they cannot make a
small town great city. We are over
run with orators who can play upon
the passions of the people, but they
can't put brick and mortar together.
We need builders.
Let those who hunger and thirst for
power understand that the highest
glory of a statesman is to construct,
and that 1t is better for a man that he
should build public highway than
that he should become Governor of a
state, and that he start plow than
that he become the author of law.
The true test of craftsmanship Is the
plow and the hammer, so let those
who would govern. first build.

WHEN SHE MARRIES

DUQUOIE, ILL.,, June 10.-Several
weeks ago, the st. Louis and Chicago
papers announced the marriage of
Frank Bruck and Miss Anna Staigens
kaitiskitage, of Weaver, southeast Of
here. A few days later the bride re-
ceived letter from Miss Mae Ma

Mass, congratulating ner on the loss
of her long name.
The clerks in the local postoffice
struggled with the two names for
days in a vain effort at pronunciation.
Today, however, William J. Papa

letter to the former Miss Staigenskai-
tiskitage, apparently ignorant of her
marriage to Bruck.

1900 WOMEN
WEAR UNIFORMS
Of LONDON POLICE
(By Associated Press.

LONDON. June 9-It is announced
that over 1000 women have been en-
rolled in Great Britain under the
scheme authorized by the Home Sec
retary for organizing women police.
At Brighton, Winchester, and other
places, women police have been in evil
dence for some months, but they
have been the result of local effort
rather than of a general nation wide
movement. The Home Office authori-
zation was intended to give official
recognition to the scheme and encour-
age its general adoption.
The women police are intended par
ticularly to take care of young women
and children in their respective dis
tricts. The chief recruiting efforts
are being put forward in the vicinity
of the great military camps, such as
Colchester, Chelmsford, Canterbury,
Dover, Winchester, and Exeter.
The policewomen are given course
of special physical training and wear q
distinctive uniform, with an armlet
not unlike that worn by the Special
Constables enrolled soon after the
beginning of the war for use in case
of aerial attack and for home de-
fense.

ATLANTA, Ca, une 10-The little

The evil is one which every city

quite likely that many other commun-
tiles will model regulations along the
line of the Ocilla ordinance.
The legislation is directed purely
against the servant who totes" pan

Opposed to Unsexing Humanity.

sex qualification for suffrage may
have its apparent inconsistencies. No
general rule adjusts itself perfectly
to all conditions. 1t is a favorite ar
gument advanced by the proponents of
woman's suffrage that many cultivated
and noble women are far more capa-
bic Of intelligently exercising SOW
ereignty than a worthless negro, but
the South never was anxious for
negro suffrage, and while culture and
refinement, and even morality, are
desirable virtues, they are not the
only qualifications for franchise.
"The primary, inherent and insep-
arabic fitness for suffrage is support
ing a family. The plow handle. the
forge and the struggle for bread af-
ford experience necessary to properly
mark the ballot. Government is a
great big business and civilization
from the very beginning assigned
woman the home and man the busi-
ness affairs of life.
There has been much freakish leg
islation enacted during the past de-
cade that no doubt appeals to woman's
love for the ridiculous, but to under
take to unsex the human race by law
is the height Of legislative folly and
q tragedy to mankind.
'We are opposed to the equal rights
of woman-we want her to ever re-
main our superior. We consider
woman's desire to seek mans level
the yellow peril of Twentieth Century
civilization.
Woman is the medium through
which angels whisper their messages
to mankind; 1t is her hand that plants
thoughts in the intellectual vineyard;
1t is through her heart that hope, love
and sympathy overflow and bless man
kind. Christ-the liberator of woman
kind-was satisfied to teach the lessons
of life and He was a man. He chose
to rule over human hearts and re-
fused worldly power and men followed
after Him, women washed His feet,
little children climbed upon His knees
and the Ruler of the universe said
that in Him He was well pleased.
