Most Valuable Metal.

In estimating the value of any metal
we are apt to consider only the intrin-
sic money value of given quantity
and from this view gold is generally
regarded as the most valuable metal.
But this is a mistaken notion. Value
consists not merely in pound for pound
money worth, but ought to include
full consideration of serviceability and
usefulness.
Taking these into account, a scien-
tifc writer points out that iron is the
most valuable metal, because OF the
many different ways in which it is Of
great service to man. In this respect
it is of the greatest value, and the
world is fortunate in the great amour
of it available.

Gave Up Struggle.

Mrs. Ella Greene, 60, committed
suicide at her home in Mt. Sterling,
KY, by jumping into cistern. An
invalid daughter attempted to prevent
the deed by clinging to her mothers
skirts, but could do nothing. Several
men who were crossing the fields saw
the deed, but they arrived too late to
save the woman. Worry over her
daughters condition and the fact that
they had had no food for twenty-four
hours is given as the cause for the act.

BigSceneon Burning Excursion Boat
Furnishes Thrills in Regeneration
During the course of the making of
the picture, "The Regeneration"
which is the picturized version OF
"The Regeneration" Owen Kildare's
story of Mamie Rose, and which is
being presented by William Fox, it
was necessary to take the scene OF the
burning of an excursion boat. Skinny
the Rat" who was one of the hero
worshippers of Owen Kildare, in
order to get even with some OF his
enemies, did so burning up an excur-
sion boat. All this is perfectly por-
ltrayed in "The Regeneration.
Director Walsh at great expense, Sc
cured an old-fashioned barge and
hundreds of Bowery characters, men
and women and took the entire party
nearly 800 strong-up to Glen Cove
on the East river, where it consumed
an entire day to film this one scene
at an unusually large cost. 1t is pre-
dicted that this scene will be one of
the sensations of this big feature pic
ture.

be used to mark off the sides of an other lot this would cut the price down for the second lot to So. COun- cilman Dougherty expressed the be- lief that if the city engineer surveyed lots for individuals the city could be held liable for errors in the surveying and he believed that either the city should be held liable or that the en- giueer should be liable and should give bonds. Councilman Chamberlain believed the engineer could not be asked to give bonds that would cover big buildings. The engineers sched- ule of prices was accepted.
 Councilman Chamberlain asked for Si5O to improve the streets out to the sawmil and the alley on Second stree near Jefferson. NIr. Torrey wanted to know who would boss such jobs ano see that the employees did their worh properly. The mayor said the street committee had always been entrusted with that work and Mir. Torrey seem ed satisfied. The money was granted
 Councilman Graef believed the duties of the fire chief should be de fined and the city engineer said MT Horner had been helping Rm and SC made it unnecessary to hire a special helper.
 It was decided to let the city lights 20 until June 1. The council also took up the garbage question at length but the subject is not quite poetic enough to dwell upon. Bids were received from Adelmau and Company anC Edgar Province but the matter is no. yet settled, apparently.

PRAISES ACTION OF
 GOVERNMENT BOARD

VALDEZ, May 2.-Recent arrivals from the westward credit Judge F. NJ. Brown of this city, of being an im- portant factor in the settlement of the strike at Anchorage, which, at one time, had t5e appearance Of becoming serious, and endaugering not only the peace of the community, but the eventual completion of the road by the government.
 Judge Brown, it is said, not as a government official, but as a citizen of Alaska, made a strong appeal to the workmen, in an address delivered in Union Hall at Anchorage, to pre- serve order and to rely upon the members of the Board of Arbitration and Cancellation to give them all a square deal, assuring them that the board was 8 competent and conscien- tious body, which, after their investi- gations would give them a fair wage.
 When interviewed this morning, Judge Brown denied that he was en- titled to any credit for the peaceful ending of the strike, that matter be-

ing entirely in the hands of the gov ernment board, which, he stated, had made a thorough investigation of the conditions at Anchorage, and had met the demands of the men with an ac- ceptable scale of wages. He admit ted that he had addressed the men counselling calmness and patience, and that the men had, as a whole, be- haved with moderation, and that there were no acts of violence committed, although in the early days things were threatening, as some of the men employed by the Commission did not join the strikers, but continued on with their work.
 Judge Brown praised the members of the oBard of Arbitration and Con ciliation, saying that they had treat ed the men and their demands with the utmost consideration, and had evolved a wage scale that was ac- ceptable both to the men and the Commission. He expressed the Opin- ion that the new wage scale would put an end to the friction which had ex- isted for several months, and that the prompt settlement of the diff culty, meant much to Alaska, as Tn his opinion, had the strike been long continued, it would have resulted 1T a long delay, in the completion of tho road, if not it's complete abandonment as a government project.-PrOspectOl

START BARGE LINE TO
 ANCHORAGE FROM PORTLAND

PORTLAND, Ore, May 5.-Undis- mayed by the failure of previous at tempts to establish a freight line be- tween Portland and Alaska points, Charles Sears, a member of wealthy Boston family, and James Crichtor, of Portland, have organized barge and tug boat line with the idea of maintaining regular sailings between Portland and Anchorage.
 For the purpose they have acquir- ed the seagoing tug Samson and three barges. The Samson is being reftted with new boilers and wireless and is being generally overhauled. It is hoped to establish the service in the middle of May and to maintain a 20 day round trip schedule. If the ven ture prospers it is proposed to enlarge it with additional tugs and barges and eventually with passenger and freight steamers.
 Oregon mills have been awarded orders for 6,OOO,OOO feet of ties and bridge timbers for the government railroad in Alaska and these will be shipped over the new barge line.-ES

of their singing that he offered to
take them with the 100 boy singers
who are going to tour the east in

kendrick School News

The following pupils were neither
absent nor tardy during the entire
term: Walter Benscotter and Roy
Florance in the high school, Ula
Crocker in the eighth grade, Agnes
Ellis in the seventh. Richard Fen
ton in the sixth grade was not alb
sent during the year although tardy
several times. Much praise is due
Walter Benscotter who came four
miles to school every day and in
spite of the unusually severe weather
on more than one occasion, was
always in his seat when the last bell
rang. Such a record of perseverance
and punctuality is quite remarkable.
In the high school Henry Meyer
takes first place in point of scholar
ship, having an average of 90. Roy
Florance is a close second with an
average of 80, while Lester Crocker
and Grace Waite have a tie for
third place, each having an average
of 88. In the first year class of the
high school Grace Waite has the
highest average 88 and Opal Keller
ranks second with sc. Perhaps the
most singular fact of all is that the
boys captured both the first and
second honors of the school.
The results of the eighth grade
examinations show the following
average standings: Chris Foyer 80,
Elsie Blackburn go, Ethel Black
burn 80, Eula Crocker 80, Gladys
Keller 80. This is very crafty
ing record and is a fair indication
of the quality of work done by the
pupils in the grades.
The enrolment in the grades
reached l66. and in the high school
43. making total for the year 2O9.
Next year, with the addition of the
twelfth grade. the total number of
pupils should exceed the 225 mark.

Commercial Club Tonight

The Commercial Club will meet
at the town hall tonight to definite
ly decide the question as to whether
Kendrick should have a celebration
July 4. The sentiment generally
seems to be opposed to Fourth of
July celebration but the matter
should be settled definitely.
The Commercial Club also wishes
to talk over the prospects for fair
to be held in the fall. Last fall the
fair was great success and there
is no reason why it should not be
as good or better this year. 1t is
time to start something right now
and every business man in town and
every citizen who has the interest
of Kendrick at heart should be
present and do everything possible
to foster this enterprise. Other
matters of interest are to be taken
up and a good attendance is very
much desired.

Publishers Meet at Juliaetta

The Latah County Press Associa-
tion spent Saturday with Editor
Semmes of the Juliaetta Indepen-
dent. A business meeting was held
in the morning and an. auto ride
over the Potlatch ridge was very
much enjoyed in the afternoon. E.
w. Porter, Juliaetta's most consist
ent booster. took his car and Mr..
Lamphere of the Idaho Post put his
into service.
The object Of holding the meeting
at Juliaetta was to bring the fact
before the Press Association that a
new road connecting Moscow and
Juliaetta could be built up the
Middle Potlatch making an average
grade of about two per cent and
cutting off several miles from the
present route. 1t is Mr.. Porter's
idea that some day this grade would
be used as a part of the national
highway as it is the only water
grade connecting this section of the
country with the country farther
east.
