Country Versus CITY.

BY Ruby A. Remover, Aged u Years
Columbus, Neb Red Side.
l would rather live in the country than
in the city, because I think that you get
more fresh air in the country than in
the crowded city, with dust flying all
around. Then you can have your own
butter, eggs. milk, meats and grain. and
you will know whether they are clean
or not.

Reforming a Kinq.

King Victor Emmanuel Of Italy Is
extremely democratic, and it was the
remark Of workingman that first led
him to be so. Formerly he was very
reserved and was not often to be found
mixing among his people. One day,
however, he granted private audience
to prominent workman. His majesty
discussed many subjects with his
guest, including the latters work in a
glass factory.
At last the king limited that he might
visit the factory himself one day, to
which the workman replied:
"Your people have been a very long
time without seeing your face, sire
except on stamps"
The king did not say anything at the
time, but he thought the mans words
over very carefully, and henceforth no
Italians had cause for complaint that
his majesty kept himself aloof from
them In the seclusion Of his palace.

Swiss Have Mercantile Navy.

Long before Germany was to be reck-
oned with as a sea power Switzerland
possessed a feet equipped for warfare
Eight hundred years ago on all the
larger Swiss lakes armed galleys were
maintained by the rival cantons,
Skilled shipwrights had to be import
ed from Genoa for the construction of
these vessels. some of which carried
crews Of 500 men. The largest Swiss
fotilla was maintained on the lake of
Geneva when the inhabitants of &C.
neva were ut war with Savoy. Since
the neutrality of Switzerland has been
guaranteed by the powers there has
been no need for warships on the lakes.
The Swiss, however, possess a mercan-
tile navy, which carries considerable

FERN HOBBS BEGAN
 HER NEW JOB FRIDAY

Salem, Ore. Jan 5-After acting as private secretary to Governor Oswald west, who retires from of flee January II, for several years Miss Fern Hobbs Friday became a member of the state industrial ac- cident commission. The position pays a salary of $36OO a year and $ one of the best appoiutive offices in the state. Miss Hobbs will be the only woman member of the com ission.
 Miss Hobbs tenure as private sec retary to the chief executive was marked by activities that attracted nationwide attention. She conducted a number Of Investigations in con- nection with moral crusades in various towns of the state. Her most spectacular performance was a year ago, when, accompanied by a squad of state militia, she in vaded Copperfield, a town of the old Wild West" sort, closed all saloons and caused to be confiscat- ed the stocks of IlqUros, gambling paraphernalia and firearms.

 It is probably unnecessary to re-
 fer to the fact that of the 2OO,-
 GOO square miles iu this territory
 only the fringe has been scratched
 Upon the government of the day de-
 wolves, ina measure, the aresponsi-
 bility for development of the Can adian frontier, and that it realizes thls responsibility is amply demon- strated by such recent incidents as the Stefansson grant, for the purpose of northern exploration, This is a crucial period in the his tory of lode mining in yukon, ,when' as yet, practically. all the proper ties are at the prospect stage; hence, too much stress cannot be laid upon the necessity of giving the prospectors and miners furth- CT assistance. The latter, in many cases, have relched point beyond which, through lack of means, they cannot go. Ii a furth- CT examination of the promising properties substantiates the opinion formed, as q result of the above mentioned preliminary examination, a report to that effect would be definite and conclusive, and capital for development would GouIt.e flow into the district. If even two or three properties were then placed On q paying basis, a great impetus would be given the lode mining in- dustry throughout ,he whole terri tory. If, on the other hand, promp aid along the lines suggested be now the district will probably a serious setback, and what has already been done during the past season will be rendered largely ineffective.

REPORT OF DEPARTMENT OF
 MINES ON THE CANADIAN YUKON

The cream of the known placer deposits has already been skim med. and the Canadian people, as a
 whole, have benefited greatly as a result of mining operations in Tu- kon.
 Prospeotors and miners now in the field have been encouraged by the interest shown by the Domtn- ion government in undertaking the work above described; and during the past season have frequently suggested that much good would result if the services of a mining engineer were constantly available throughout the district. Certain it Is that the work of further testing the better properties, in addi- tion to looking over others that have so far not been examined, should be pushed with vigor.
 With regard to the advisability Of establishing a testing mill and laboratory in Dawson, it is doubtful whether the results above shown warrant such a move at the pres ent time.
 In Dawson mining district, with it's typical occurrence of free gold In spots, mill tests of quartz from such properties as the violet, FL dorado Dome, virgin mineral claim, Mitchell, etc, should be made This might be done by special arrange ment with the owners of tho Lone Star mill. It is believed that the latter company would be willing to work in harmony with the Owners Of these claims, to the extent of allowing such tests under he su- pcryision of a government mining engineer, who would look after the interests of the different parties and check results.
 In the case of prospects at Dub lin gulch, and of those in southern Yukon, the conditions are different The gold here generally occurs eith- CT disseminated as minute dust Oi h refractory form with suLphides; hence these prospects will ad- yantageously admit of more de- tailed sampling and assaying in connection with any further investi- gation of their individual extent and economic value.
 In connection with the placing in operation of the government dia- mond drills, it should be noted that there is very important work fog them in proving the Whitehorse copper deposits at depth. It is important to Yukon that these op- erations continue, as they undoubt- edly must, if the ore bodies are ultimately found to be of sufficient extent and value. The work Of testing with these drills should,
