not ct ell creditable to their sex.
They started some sort Of q fire to
be kept burning until the United
States Senate passes the female suf-
ferage resolution and if they are
allowed to persist in their worse
than foolishness. it is to be hoped
that they will consume all the CON-
bustable obtaininable before the
Senate complies with their desires.
Burning speeches made by the pres
ident In an urn in park was one
Of their pranks in behalf Of the
poor, down-trodden females who,
having other ideals than the max
ing and maintaining Of homes and
reasing families. found it necessary
to do something in keeping with
their view Of life. These women
who violated park rules for which
men would have been promptly ar
rested, were cited, without giving
bond, to appear at the police sta
tion-but Of course, they did not
sppear unless it suited their pleas
ure. Every one Of such amazons
ought to be jailed-the deluded
miscarriages Of humanity-an d
there safely kept until they come
to their senses or are permanently
transferred to lunatic asylums. We
are thankful that among these wo-
men. the personnel is confined to

The enormous value of such q

WHO FURNISHES THE, TONNAGE?

During the past five years the mines and oil wells of the United States have furnished exactly 5S per cent of the tonnage originating on United States railroads. The producers of the basic mineral wealth of the coun- try employ approximately 1,5O0,OOO men. This is largely skilled labor These facts furnish basis for the in- terest aroused among mining men in the grave problems confronting the nation, involving transportation, wages and present low percentages in produc- tion. The recognized danger of con- tinued industrial conferences, sporadic in character, during the national cri- sis has brought a warning from the mining men and has resulted in call ing general mining and industrial convention during the week of Nov. IT, where all conflicting interests can get together for the purpose of con- sidering a concrete business program to be placed before the congress of the United Statees, backed by the nations leading industries.

 Any persons suffering from colds of any sort, no matter how mild, should take it upon themselves to protect all those with whom they may come in contact. Should you begin to sneeze, consider yourself sick and source of danger of infection to others. You should immediately quarantine your self for the benefit of the public. All the recognized methods of prevention should be resorted to, such as clean liness of hands, clothing, food, uten- sils, disinfection, etc.
 With precautionary measures ob- served there should be very little chance of influenza making its appear ance in epidemic form in Cordova this year. But let us all be prepared.
 Old rubbish should not be permitted to accumulate. This is always source of infection which can be easily elimi' mated.
 You can do a great many little things which will be of great assist, ance to the health authorities.

The old pioneer is passing away and the younger generation is step ping into his shoes. Every paper one picks up nowadays records the death of an old pioneer. Many of them have been in Alaska for decades; all came here optimistic and full of the strength and vigor that was the only asset of the true pioneer. Their hopes and fears have fructified, disastrously to many Others have acquired mod crate competency and are taking life easy in their declining years.-Valdez Miner.

Theodore Roosevelt on the Teachers
 Task

You teachers-and it is a mere tru- ism to say this-you teachers make the whole world your debtor; and of you it can be said, as it can be said of no other profession save the pro- fession of the ministers of the gospel themselves, if you teachers did not do your work well this republic would not outlast the span of a generation.
 Moreover, as an incident to your avowed work, you render some we'll nigh unbelievable services to the coun- try. For instance, you render to this of amalgamating into one homogene- ous body the children of those who are born here and of those who come here from so many different lands abroad You furnish a common train ing and common ideals for the chil- dren of all the mixed peoples who are here being fused into one nationality. It is in no small degree due to you and to your efforts that we of this great American republic form one peo- pie instead of a group of jarring peo- ples. The children, wherever they have been born, wherever their par ents have been born, who are educated in our schools side by side with one another, will inevitably grow up hav- ing that sense of mutual sympathy and mutual respect and understanding which is absolutely indispensable for working out the problems that we as citizens have before us.-Address at National Education Association, Ocean Grove, N. J., July 7, 1905
