June and July have been record breaking months for rainfall in the Yukon. While the downpour is somewhat displeasing to those who like to bask in the sunshine, the klondike miner is delighted. The reservoirs are filled with water and the giants are spouting day and night tearing down their loads of gravel from their resting place of ages. A season like this makes tens of thousands of dollars differ ence monthly in favor of the camp and everyone gets his pinch of the prosperity.

stances where he especially appealed
to outstanding American men; when
he was shot in the side by an assas-
sins hand ON his way to speak be-
fore great assembly, he insisted on

Of the program; almost on his death
bed last winter, he tainted three
times while debating letter, yet
each time he regained consciousness
he went on where he left off.
He raised his boys to be strong,
true Americans; and in the late war
stood heroically the loss of one of
them in France.
Roosevelt was a man of many
friends, and great personal follow
ing. Even after he returned to pri-
vate life, after his presidency, no
mans opinions were so listened for
and taken into account by the Ameri-
can people. That he was of ex-
emplary cleanness is accumulated by
the fact that no calumnies were ever
spread against his name in political
contest. assr
He was the friend of monarchs
and great men all over the world.
He had great faith in men Of all
grades, and never lost faith in the
American people; even when they
seemed on the wrong track, he al
ways knew it would end by doing
something splendid. .-
He was a great lover; he loved the

birds and animals of the out-of-
doors. When president he estab-
lished many sanctuaries for the birds
and threw the great force of his in
fluence against using their plumage
for decoration. He was the first con-
servationist. a"
BY his example he had guiding
power over America that has never
been equalled. No other man in our
history so embodied Americanism as
true Americans wanted to think of
it. He was ruler of himself, and of
other men of consequence. He was
an uncompromising anti-pacifist.
He knew America was dangerously
slack and his pounding at the
pacifists lost him prestige before our
entry into the war. But at that he
was one of the biggest pillars of our
finally reused wartime spirit.
Theodore Roosevelt was a man for
America to thank God for. His
death was felt as loss all over the
world. DR.. Southwick quoted the
beautiful lines of Kipling's farewell
to the departing soul of the great
ex-president. The doctor did not
fail to make telling appeal in his
recital to what is strong and good of
the elements of patriotism. In tell
ing Of the life of great American
hero he uplifted the ideals of all his

one lifetime enough accomplishments
to make the regulations of dozen
men; he was cowboy in the west
and successful rancher, great
statesman, soldier, leader, reformer,
moral philosopher, author. He had
the versatility of a Jefferson and the
dynamics of Jackson. He saw the
right thing ahead of time and pos
sessed the energy to break down all
resistance in the path Of doing the
right thing.
Roosevelt was not poor. like
Franklin or Lincoln, said the doctor,
but nevertheless he was self made
man. Born to aristocratic ease and
comfort, he threw off their soften
ing environment, and became hard
working citizen, one who for seven
years dominated the thought of his
country. He was sickly and had
poor eyes; therefor he went west to
become rancher and hunter, AMI
there he gained leadership over the
toughest characters of a rough new
country. He was a lover of books
and peace and yet made Of himself
man of ready action, efficient to go
thru any obstacles toward his end.
He was great as a president. BY
his firmness he forced the German
kaiser to arbitrate the Venezuela
trouble when a less steady hand
might have allowed the Monroe Doc
trine to be challenged.
Roosevelt was uncompromising for
the right, even when the right was
not apparent to others, and his sup
porting it brought him enemies and
loss Of support. He was as ready
to attack railroad president as a
labor leader, and branded either as
an undesirable citizen if he thought
that way. Nobody, said DR.. South
wick, ever had any doubts as to tho
opinion of Theodore Roosevelt. He
was out in the open, clean and force
full.
This great American was not en-
dowed with extraordinary talents,
said the speaker, but with extraor-
binary will power. Talents without
push and persistence behind them
soon die out He was an indefatig-
able worker, interested in everything,
and mastering any subject he went
into.
He was man Of great courage.
In the west the old hunters still tell
stories of his bravery. He was a
mans man. His trough riders that
he organized for the Spanish-Ameri-
can war, loved him and with many
thousands Of others they would have
risen UP to follow him anywhere at
any time. !. 4. @

personal suffering as much, the

Spiders crawIed Into Tub Holding
Seismouraph.

Because a tribe Of spiders decided
that the glass case that incloses the
seismograph in the basement of Blake
hall, at Kansas university, would make
an excellent home for their families,
the physics professor who cares for
the delicate earthquake instrument has
been baffled for several days as to why
the needles Of the seismograph In
sisted on standing up in the air in
stead Of resting on the recording drum.
The mystery was solved the other
day when Professor Hester noticed
that his arm was covered with spider
webs after he had been investigating
the situation. He investigated further
and found that several webs attached
to the recording needles caused them
to stand up.

SCHOOL TEACHER MURDERED
Body Of Young Woman Found in an
Abandoned Hut.

Latrobe, Pa. Wedged under a
board in shed behind an abandoned
log hut on the Ardary farm, two miles
from here, the body of Miss Emma
Austraw, 19-year-old school teacher,
who had mysteriously disappeared,
was found Saturday.
The girls hands were tied behind
her back, her face had been beaten,
and she had been struck on the head
with a blunt instrument. Her death
had evidently occurred twenty-four
hours before the finding of the body.
An examination revealed that the girl
had been shot through the head after
being attacked.
1t is supposed the girl was over
powered on her way from the school
house on Monday evening and held
prisoner at some point until she was
killed.

Boy Shows His Sayings Bank to the

Evanston, H., recently he sounded like
a walking savings bank. Pennies,

his pocket. Harold sided up to Judge
Boyer:

sobbed. II don't want you to do any
thing to him. Here are my savings.
Please let him CO." =.
Harold then dumped the contents Of
his pockets on Judge Boyer's desk. 1t
totaled $9.87.

tempting to bride the court.

NESS LITERATURE
Theodore N. Vail, Ad-
dressed Letter to the
Congress Members


Theodore n Vail, the greatest and
brightest mind engaged in the OPP
GRAFTON of telephone lines, seeing a
stupend0us working organization
slowly and surely going on the'rocks
of destruction, addresses the follow
ing letter to the members. of con-
gress:
On midnight, July 81, 1918, under
the authority of congress for war
purposes, the president took super
Z vision, possession, control and OPP
GRAFTON Of the telephone systems of
the county and has since operated
them. The war has practically
ceased. The public press is strongly
demanding, the general public and
the owners of the telephone prop
critics are urging, that they be re-
turned as speedily as possible, that
former conditions may be restored
and more satisfactory service be at
fOrded. The president and the post
master general have announced that
this will be done as soon as adequate
arrangements be provided for re-
ceiving and advantageously operat-
ing them. It remains only for con-
gress to enact such legislation as
/, speedily no possible.
The expenses of these systems
have largely increased during the
past year. for wages alone at the
rate, of more than $4,000, 900 per
annum. This was inevitable and
necessary by reason Of larger pro-
portional increases by the railroads
and industries Of the country. The
revenues are inadequate to care for
such increases, and the deficit of
the government on that account to
date is large and steadily Increasing.
The pOStmaster-general ordered that
steps be taken to secure adequate
revenues, but contentious with the
regulatory authorities Of the states,
not yet settled, have prevented such
adjustments.
II such conditions continue, neces-
sarily the credit of the operating
companies will be impaired, proper
expenses cannot be met, the best op-
Grating forces cannot be retained,
needed extensions and satisfactory
service cannot be provided. A de-
terioratiOn will ensue which in some
localities may threaten recurrence
to Public ownership or operation in
order to care, even inadequately, for
public needs. By prompt action con-
gress can prevent this contingency.
Just and speedy settlement should
be made for all properties taken
urd der the existing law, that such
balances now in the possession of the
government may be restored to as
sist in the upbuilding and extension
OF the various systems for better
public use. The conditions and regu-
Iation of operation should be clearly
defined so as to permit the COM
panies to re-establish and maintain
a satisfactory service with reason
able rates without discrimination
and procure the benefits of legiti-
mate competition. The principal OPP
Grating companies of the United
States are vitality interested in CO.
operating with congress and the of
fl falls of the government to accom-
plish these results.

REVENUE LAW
NEEDS REVISION,
SAYS ANDREWS
Wants Soft Drink Section In
Corporated Into Sections
900 to 907; Would Elm
mate Objections.
By a Staff Correspondent.

Washington. June 2,-Representa-
1--WE Andrews, speaking of the ef-
forts being made by the ways and
means committee to repeal section
9O+ of the revenue law relating to
taxes on luxuries, so-called, said to-
day:
Sections 900 and o07 inclusive, Of
the revenue law, should be thor
oughly revised. together with sec
ton $50, the soft drinks section, in
one bill, instead of carrying section
904 in a bill by itself. This would
take away certain manifest objec-
tons to these various sections.
The discussion has indicated that
the combined revenue that would
be collected under all these sections
would exceed $200,000,000 That
money will be urgently needed to
help meet prohibitive deficit of be-
tween S5,0OO,000,000 and $6,000,000,-
900, Next year we should, however,
find other sources Of revenue at
once to furnish that amount and re-
peal these objectional excess taxes
without undue delay.
Il am in favor of recommitting
the bill, with instructions to the
ways and means committee to re-
port a measure that will take care
of all these consumption taxes at
one and the same time"
