The President Turned the Trick

Candidate Hughes is greatly wor
ried over the way the president sue
ceeded in ayerting the railroad strike
and deplores the passage Of laws In
advance OF investigation. He is, there
fore, attempting TO belittle the whole
business, but he will have his labor
for his pains. As Grover Cleveland
said on one occasion, "A condition and
not a theory" confronted Mr.. Wilson,
and he did what the whole country ap-
plauded him for doing. The Republi-
cans tried TO embarrass the President
in the matter, but he turned the trick
and came out more than a victor and
made himself more solid with the
people. The laboring people especially
are singing the praises of the man who
meets every emergency manfully and
successfully.

Everybody at all acquainted with the
public spiritedness Of those wide

through this city early in the spring
en- route to Fairbanks, where ne made

Lewis reports that in all, his prop

abutting on the Tatlinaka river.
Three Empire drills are being used
under the supervision of a high grade,
experienced mining engineer to make
tests ofethe ground. Sixteen men are
assisting the engineer in making the
tests. The final report will be made
to the owners in December If the
report is favorable Lewis will order

coarse god has already been found in

seems almost inevitable that BY the
proper adoption of modern methods

cation. The properties lie within %
