THE VICTORY OF THE WEST.

The fact that the election turned upon the result in
the west will be of ncalucuable value to this section
This not because it the west that Wilson his
majority and thus elected him. it would have been
though Hughes had won by margin because
Of the stand taken by the west.
The result of the landslide in the west which was
wholly unexpected the east has been to awaken the
to realization that there westa west that must be
reckoned with west that has influence in the nation
a west that make itself felt in national affairs.
Heretofore the east and this is especially true of the
political east regarded the west seriously All
ton that mstreatent of this section might result in po
tica loss to whatever party might be in power met
by jest about it's not making difference because
there enough votes in the west to for any
thing anyway
But the votes of the west have counted. They have
elected president and hereafter their influence will be
worth cultvatng. Hereafter congress will not ignore the
demands of the west and of wealth and influence
eager to better themselves politically well financially
will listen to the needs and the demands of that great
country whose hold the balance of power between
the east and the south
Now it is known that neither east south can win
political victories without the west. Hereafter unless
the lesson taught to the well to the east shall
be forgotten by the itself great western section
of the United States will no longer be ignored.

1t has been than partially successful. But
it has long remained discouraged but has returned

Often seemed that it about to lose ALL for it

Many years ago this great inland
country of towering mountains cut by
fertile valleys was wilderness. The
Indian roamed at will and wild ami
mails lived in the fastness of its peaks
and canyons. The brush of the low
lands hid the rattlesnake and they

ditions changed when 1t became known
that gold, silver and lead ore had been
found in the fastness Of the surround
ing hills. Capital came in to develop
the placer and quartz deposits and the
result was that stream of money
was coming in from the mines. And
with the increased supply of gold the
farmers, who by this time had put in
crops, received good prices for their
products, and they. as well as the rush
of newcomers, received good pay for
their labor. Civilization advanced
with a rush and prosperity has ruled
wherever the mining industry has
flourished. Much Of the funds from
out of the hills has been invested in
comfortable homes throughout hills
and valleys and schools and churches
abound, and the honest man is willing
to admit that it all can be traced d.
rectly to the prospector and the mines.
Mining districts, like mining men,
have their ups and downs" and there
is hardly a prominent mining district

take down the note
These names and stories are vouched for
by the people of Fairbanks, but ! am begin
ming to doubt whether all the stories hear
in Alaska are true | have just been told
one about miner at White River who had
his toes frozen so that his feet sloughed off
to the instep. The story is that the man had
the toes amputated and was able to walk on
the stubs with the aid of pair of bears feet
made into moccasins, the bears claws taking
the place of his toes. The man who told me
this showed me photograph of the miner
with his bear feet tied on
Another extraordinary story is zoologi-
cal one. The people here say that Alaska is
as free of snakes was Ireland after the
advent of St. Patrick. They say that the
only snake that ever came into the territory
was one brought from the outside in bale
OF timothy hay. This occurred about two
years ago. AS the story goes, the snake ar
rived on the edge of the winter and crawled
out of the bale when the thermometer was
40 degrees below zero. 1t Immediately froze
solid, and as it laid there was found by an
Indian chief. 1t was long snake, and the
head had bent over SO that it looked like
cane The chief used it as a cane all that
winter, and he is said to be using it still. He
buries it in the prehistoric ice under the
moss as the spring comes on, and when the
thermometer falls brings it out as prop to
keep him from falling.
And then the fish stories. Judge Wicker
sham, the Alaskan delegate to congress, who
lives at Fairbanks, tells me of a lake near the
headwaters OF the Tanana river where he
often goes for sport in the summer. The
water is as clear as crystal, and looking
down over the side of the boat he can see
hundreds of fish swimming about. He picks
out the fishes he wishes to catch, dropping
his bait in front of only the best, and pulling
it away when small fish or one OF the
wrong variety might swallow it. AS re-
member, he could catch boat load in an
hour, but on account of this careful selection
and his desire for sport it takes longer.
1t is said also that when the women OF
Fairbanks go fishing, instead OF dropping
the flies on the water, they hold them at
the end of the line, some distance above It,
and wager as to who can make the trout
jump the highest. Those who lose have to
pay in the shape of a luncheon.
