One of the Seward >suburbanties left a trail this morning in the new fall of snow that puzzled many of the old timers, as to the origin of the animal that made it. One old timer who has been in Australia claimed that the tracks could only have been made by a kangaroo. The solution was made when. it was learned that the suburb survivor. had simply made series of leaps from his door step to the main street. He refused to wallow.

OUR GOLD PROBLEM

OUk GULD FNObLEM
 The love of gold is one of the strong est instincts implanted in the human breast. In individual instances it has often proven stronger than love of home or country. This is illogica. be- cause gold, itself, can in no way sus- tain life; however, the instinct is uni- versal and undying.
 Civilization has recognized the sboTe fact and resulting there-from are the present-day, well-defined methods of carrying on the business of the world. The foundation and the arch and the keystone of all business is credit.
 The unit of credit is called the dol lar, and the dollar represents speci. fled number of grains of pure gold.
 As matter of convenience arrange ments have been perfected whereby a man or a nation may transfer these units of credit without actually hand ling the gold which they represent. These arrangements are based on con- fidence that such gold does exist, but, as we all know, when that confidence is shaken it can only be restored by physiciai contact with the precious metal itself.
 The business of the world is grow ing, requiring more and more gold from year to year, for monetary pur-, poses. Gold is annually removed from the supply on hand for use as com modity- in industry, and in the arts and sciences. Comparatively large amounts of gold are lost each year; ip handling, by abrasion, and by being :. buried or hidden, and forgotten. To properly maintain the equili- brium new gold must continually be produced. Mines must operate. Men must explore unknown regions and prospect in untried filds in the search for new ore deposits. which may be utilized when the old mines become "worked out"
 The hunting for gold and the op- efation of mines has been in progress since the dawn of history. To such an extent has this work been carried on that few areas of the Earth's surface remain unexplored today. The gold output of the present and future will be but little augmented by discover iesof thousand dollar nuggets, or the working of rich superficial deposits. More and more will the winning of new gold depend upon scientific know ledge of chemistry and metalluray, upon engineering skill and energy, and hard work. At the present time in Cal ifornia We are carefully going over ground scorned by the Argonauts of 49, and extracting gold from ores comparatively low in their content of that metal. All this is normal and na- tural.
 A condition has arisen, however, which is not normal nor natural. It has descended like plague and cast g blight on the gold mining industry of the entire State. It has attacked gold mining and gold mining alone. Com munities in the minig regions of Cali fornia are being deserted,- this fact is being positively proven by returns from the 1920 census. Mines which have produced millions and which should produce millions more are be- .ing shut down and allowed to cave in, and fill with water; mills and reduc. ton plants worth Kings ransom arc left to the mercy of the clements. h Eslsyeras Co, the total number st

AIRPLANE TO ADD HOURS TO
 DAY Swift Transportation Will Change Ideas of Time and Also
 Distance.

An hour is still an hour, and there are still only twenty-four to the day, but nevertheless the hour has ex- banded tremendously in the last cen tury. In 1920 an hour in terms of distance was six piles. Now it is sixty. Tomorrow it will be 120 to l50 miles, according to C.. F. Redden, president of the Aeromarine Engi- neering < Sales Company.
 No field of business has been more ,rofoundely affected by this>change han the real estate business. And requires no prophet to foretell that ceal estate in the next five or ten years is to benefit far more greatly than ever before by tn stretching of the hour.
 A hundred years agp land ten miles from the limits of big city was farm land and not necessarily valu- able farm land at that. To transcct business daily in the city from such distance was so arduous as to to be entirely impractieahle. Consequently real estate so far away commanded real estate so far away commanded only it's price as farm land. For cen turies it had remained farm land, peopled by country dwellers, farmers, as opposed to city dwellers, who lived within the circumstances of the city.
 Modern Transportation.
 The railroad and the steamboat came along and slowly developed. To relate what they did to real estate values a short distance from the city is unnecessary. Suffice it to say that during the past hundred years land ten to twenty miles from the limits of .he city became suburban property immeasurably more valuable than farms. The commuter came into be- ing, for the distance to the city was contracting, or to put it in another way, the hour was stretching.

It fell last night. About one foot of snow. It is the first this winter. Up until last evening we had wonderful fall weather. The white mantle which covers the ground to a depth of about one foot today will probably stay with us all winter. We have no xick coming. The eighteenth of Nov ember is a month later than the eigh- teenth of October and on the latter late they had a two foot fall of snow in Idaho.

Certain fellow in Seward has asked IS whether it was proper for him to kiss his girl when he takes her home in the evening and says good night. We'll leave that for him to figure out. How should We know when we haven't mad girl for ages. Times change but when We were younger we never asked such fool question.
 Did you ever stop to think that the ,uan who is holding down the job ot )eputy United States Marshall in the Dig Rail Road Building, all by his lonesome at the present time, is really 1ne of the best assettS that we have here in Seward. We are not seeking ,avors or trying to "break in", we are simply stating a fact. Takes a real man and an intelligent one to fill such d job and it is not an enviable one either. Marshall Reed is always on the job and it is chiefly through his ef. ;orts that the possible spread of "mor- al disease" in the Sewas, Id District is aeld in check. He. gives eve+y question. able character who comes to Seward the once over and examines them as co their fitness to mingle with Us, and oy so doing he discovers thPsa who are objectionable. The change of f'adminis' tration may remove Marshal Reed from office but it should not. He is the man for the job and good one and the big majority of Seward citizens will miss him if he is removed from office or resigns. Politics should be far removed from the office of Mar. shal. We need men and good men tc nold down these jobs. They are mighty scarce, so why not keep one when we have him.
