Fellow Citizens Young and Old:
That starry banner which floats
SO majestically above our heads is
your flag and my flag. 1t is the
flag of more than 100000 free
people. There are sacred memoir
les in every fold; the blood of pa
triots has consecrated every stripe
and every star. It has been borne
on many a battlefield, but always
on the side of human freedom, al
ways in defense of the right of the
people to govern themselves, and
please God-it always will be.
It is our privilege and our duty
to honor, love, and revere it, to be
loyal to it in thought, word, and
deed, now and always, and to give
our lives for it if need be, because
it represents the best and noblest
ideals of human life and govern
ment. Judge Winslow.

noses for ages, and yet has escaped de-
lection, serves to emphasize the liml-
tations of the sum total of human
knowledge as compared to the still I'M
solved mysteries of the universe, re-
marks the Los Angeles Times.
1t is a recent discovery, for example,
that the cactus plant contains an al
most invaluable heart stimulant. For
merly the entire cactus family was re-
garded as practically useless for man
or beast so far as could be determined.
Then it was discovered that this plant
made excellent fodder for domestic
animals when shorn of it's spines; and
chemists found in the leaves a sub
stance which appeared to be a power
full heart stimulant for human beings.
Curiously enough, this substance does
not affect the lower animals as it does
human beings, and this fact led many
investigators to question it's potency.
Most medical substances affect the
lower animals, or, at least, some OF
them, in much the same manner as
they affect human beings. Cactus is an
exception, however, and, although it
contains a heart stimulant of such
powerful action that it must be adj
ministered with caution, it produces
no perceptible effects on the animals
that are commonly used for the test
ing experiments.

How Columbus Was MisIed.

Every schooIboy knows that When
Columbus discovered the island OF
Cuba and the rest Of the western
world that he did not know he had
discovered a new world, but thought
he had circumnavigated the globe and
had found a new way to cross the
ocean to Asia. 1t is a curious fact
that the Indians of the island OF Cuba
unconsciously confirmed this belief. he
asked them the name of one of the
villages, and they said. "Cubanaca,"
and Columbus thought that they were
saying, "Kublaikahan," the name OF
the Tartar village mentioned by Marco
Polo. whose record Columbus had

WEAKEN STATEMENT OF FACT
Many Persons Seem to Question Their
Own Conclusions by Excessive
Use of Rising infection.

It is a modern conversational fad to
use the rising and interrogative in
Election a great deal, even when q
question is not intended at ALL The
women are more apt to use it than the
men, and it started a few years ago,
merely as a pretty trick of talking,
with no harm in it, "nO harm i tn
world" says the Ohio State Journal.
But it has been SO very much over
done and is now SO general that we
are inclined to wonder if it betOkens a
state of mind, or, on the contrary, II it
is likely to have an influence on the
mind. For a rising infection implies
questioning or doubt and, when ap-
piled to a sentence that is supposed to
be a statement of fact, it necessarily
weakens that statement.
We have heard people who were
narrating some simple incident use
this rising infection so repeatedly that
they seemed to question all their own
statements, or to seem to appeal to
their hearers for agreement. And that
doesn't indicate just the right state Of
mind. If a person has anything to
say and believes it, he should be will
ing to state it quite simply and posi-
lively. A positive statement does not
mean an aggressive one; and per-
son must needs be in a rather pitiful
state of fear of his hearers opinions
If he is afraid to utter an affirmative

to be had by those who want to hunt or fish.
 Miners are leaving Juneau, at | tracted by the high wages of the copper camps They leave cer-
 tain job with fairly high wages. They lose time while travelling to
 their new location. They receive
 high wages for a short time and then are confronted with labor agi
 tators and trouble. More loss of
 time. Look at Butte, Bizbee and Globe, where so many men from the mines of Gastineau channel went recently All of these camps are tied up through labor troubles. Result, more loss of time for the miners. At the end of the year they are behind the game. That is, they have not earned as much as if they had remained in Juneau, and they are out their travelling ex- penses
 Any man coming to Juneau at this time that wants to work may be assured of finding steady all-the- year-round employment at reason ably high wages. The Gastineau company is prepared to handle them, and now is the time for them to come.
 While the present time our la Dor shortage is serious, 1 am very optimistic over the outcome, as II believe that many men now in the interior, distributed through the Westward section and now engaged in fishing, prospecting and doing various kinds of work for them- selves, will return here in the fall and we will get our percentage of labor
 "As fast as we secure the neces- sary men, the output of the mine and mill will be increased to the | 10,000-ton mark, which will add | materially to the Juneau payroll i We are prepared to maintain that | standard year in and year out, pro- videing we can secure the neces- sary help.
 Our mill is complete in ever de- tail, and is mechanically perfect. The only thing necessary will be minor repairs from time to time, and as we find that we can pay handsome dividends from ore of much smaller value than was esti- mated at first, there are no reasons for us to shut down, as rumors which have been going rounds say that we were contemplating doing. This rumor is without foundation ! and as long as we have men to move the reserve ore, there will be no shut down."

ESCAPED CONVICT IS CAUGHT IN
 ATLIN ''
Bad Man from Prison at WaIIa WaIIa, Wash, Located by Police
 in the North.

That the arm of the law is strong and very long, and that the possibil- ity of escaping it's tentacles for any extended period is very remote in deed, received a strong confirmation in a recent capture made by the pro- vincial police of British Columbia in Atlin. Travelling Guard Harvey Horton, of the Walla Walla, Wash. penitentiary was on the Princess Sophia last night bound for Atlin to get his man.
 Vernon Bawlf, said to be one of the most daring strong-arm artists
 in the State of Washington, whose operations have extended into prac- tically every state in the west, was sentenced some time ago to a term in Walla Walla penitentiary for a term ranging from three and a half to fifteen years, the period depend ing on the behavior of the prison er On April 29 he managed to escape. That he had been assisted in his getaway by friends on the outside was conclusively proven by the fact that scarcely a trace of him was found after his escape, but the efforts of the authorities were not relaxed. His picture and de- scription were sent broadcast
 It is now known that he fled to the north, and, secure in the be- lief that the law could not reach him in those wilds made his way into the interior of the great Atlin district. He secured work in a mine, apparently feeling that the muck and grime of that calling would prove an almost perfect dis guise.
 That his confidence was not well founded was proved a few days ago when he was spotted by Constable Scarlet of the Atlin district. Word was sent to the Washington author ities and Horton is now on his trip for the escaped convict.
