FLIGHT OF ARETHUSA.
Neurological Origin of Favorits
British Warship Name.


British Warship Name.
From the days OF Drake "Arethusa"
has always been the favorite name OF
q swift, light cruiser In the British
navy. A corvet named Arethusa took
part In the battle Of Cape st. Vincent
der Jervis, defeated the Spanish feet,
and this Arethusa was henceforth with
the great admiral down to his last bat
tie ct Trafalgar eight years later.
AS Arethusas have succeeded one an
other In the British navy, legends have
gathered around the name until the
ship so named has seemed to symbolic
the NEUROLOGICAL origin of the term.
There Is In Peloponnesus river call
ed Morea. In ancient times, 1t Is said,
1t was presided over by river god
named Alpheus. Alpheus fell In love
with the river nymph Arethusa, and
pursued her through the water. Diana,
hearing her cries Of distress, opened u
passage for the stream so that 1t flowed
under the sea to Sicily. where, near
Syracuse, Arethusa disappeared In the
spray of beautiful fountain.
The river, untainted by the sea. still
flows underground to the fountain,
and Alpheus is still said to be search
ing for the nymph, but never finds her.
This is why her naval namesakes have
eluded the enemy through all the GEN.
turies and have been believed by the
superstitious to be invulnerable.-New
York Times.

DECORATION DAY

Today is one that America has cOnsecreated to the National dead and the services for the occasion should be participated by those of all classes. The time has passed when the survivors of the Civil war were numerous enough to decorate the graves or tae de,d and conduct the services in their memory. It is meet and proper therefore. that those who are grateful for a united country for which thousands died and millions risked life should show their ap- preciaon and gratitude they are showing 1t today in Juneau
 Time has hallowed and melOwed the SOth of May and that is an additional reason why it should ever be kept green Long since it has ceased to be an oc casou for recalling the memory only Of those who wore the blue in the Civil War The graves and deeds of those who wore the grey are not overlooked any more on Decoration Day either North or South. and Confederate veterans and Union veterans join in tho observance That but adds to the conclusive ness of the deb, that we owe the dead for 1t demon sraed that the country they fought to preserve is in fact united

THE DEATH OF HILL

The death of James J. Hill removes from busy theatre one Of the greatest Americans. For a third of century he took first place among those who have been engaged In developing the great American Northwest Ills penchant to make dreams come true has made fortunes for thousands and comfortable homes for millions Than that no greater service can be rendered mankind The man who transforms a wilderness into fit habitat civilization. who opens he door of opportunity for the profitable employment of labor and capital and thus makes for the es. ,ablishment of prosperous communities of homes. schools churches. and the other institutions of mod. ern American life does his country service that en- titles him to rich reward.
 Hin became rich man through his Empire build ng but his riches are but bagatelle to the wealth it made for his country and for the millions who in- habit the northern tier of American States from the Great Lakes to the Pacific Coast There are few who envy him the ease and comfort that his millions gave him during the last few of his years. They were but meagre reward for the great work that he did. The greater reward was the esteem and af lection of hundreds of thousands Of his fellow ct zens which follows him to the grave.
 Hiu was one of the few who made multimillions through railroad building and retained the good feel ing of the people whom his roads served That he held this was evidenced last year when the late Gov Hammond designated him the greatest man whom Minnesota had developed and there not single voice Of disapproyal raised anywhere.
 nm will be missed greatly. though not greatly .s t would have been were 1t not that he was SC great that he left an impress upon the organization of the Hin interests that will cause t continue th' practice of his broad developing policies through th' decades iha, are to come.

 By the last report of the mineral production of Alaska which has just been issued by the federal government we are reminded of the exceedingly prof table real estate transaction that was made thirty nine years ago by William H. Seward then secretary of state.
 The mineral received from the soil Of the Terri tory in 1915 represented value of SS2S4522s This was more than S1SO0OOOO in excess of the production of the year before The report also says that since 1890 when mining first began in Alaska the Terri tory has produced gold. silver copper tin and other minerals to the value of SSO0s5S,751 But this by no means represents all the wealth that this valuable northern possession of ours has produced.
 Recent explorations have shown great primitive forests which are yearly growing in value The soi of the south and of many of the islands IS highly productice and brings yields for the labor expended by the settlers.
 Russia ceded this storehouse of wealth for S12OO' OOO Considered purely from minetary point Of view and calculated in terms of dollars and cents. this is one of the most profitable real estate Investments that have ever been made.
