COLD FEVER NOW
RAGING ON PEACE.
RIVER TERRITORY
(By Associated Pressl

The Pas, Man., July, Gold fe-
yer has temporarily displaced ex-
citement here incident to the rush to
the oil fields, and prospectors are
leaving daily for the scene of the
reported rich mineral strike.
Reports of ore bodies rich in gold
content having been uncovered come
from several sections, but the rich
est is reported at Elbow Lake in the
Athapapuskow Lake mineral area
and east of the famous Gordon Dyke
discovered last summer. Elbow
Lake is about 200 miles northeast
of the Pas.
Mining men who have visited the
spot have returned here with an ac-
cunt of a vein sixty feet wide
wherein free gold is freely seen.
Until it is stripped, they declare,
however, it is possible only to ap-
proximate the value and tonnage.
Other prospectors who visited the
region following the report of the
strike declare that a mineral body
forty feet wide and traced for $50
feet in length has been uncovered,
throughout which free gold is hea-
Willy deposited. One prospector had
two pounds of ore, of which the gold
content was estimated at not less
than two per cent. Thsce samples
are considered the richest ever
brought here.
Another strike, the exact location
of which is vague, also has thrown
Peace River into the throes of gold
fever. The cause of the excitement
was the recent arrival of a party
who investigated a claim which fur
nished an old Indian trapper, about
20 miles northeast of here, with a
number of small nuggets.

VULGARITY.

There is the type of woman
who wherever she goes is al
ways complaining of the people
she meets.
After a party or a dance one
hears her say:
well of course, it was all
very nicely done, but some of
the people there were really
dreadful"
Or if she goes on a holiday
she says: A''The hotel was quite
comfortable, but the people
staying there were impossible.
There was not a soul one could
speak to-
In railway carriages and om-
nibuses she always sees the
most appalling people. Her
acute Representatives, is con-
stantly being shocked and out
ragged by those with whom she
is compelled to associate. You
can see her visibly shifting, in
what she considers her high
bred manner, at the rest of the
company. There is hardly
anyone good enough for her
or fit for her to consort with.
Now this attitude is not mere
pose nor snobbishness. Most
Of US, as Thackeray pointed out,
are snobs at heart, or at least
have q trace of snobbishness in
our composition. It may be
physical anguish for some to
sit at a table with a man who
eats peas with his knife or list |
en- to the conversation of those
who drop their .sh's" or put |
them in at the wrong time.
But the kind Of woman I am
trying to depict is not consider
ing crude manifestations Of, this !
kind. She is simply diseased
by the idea Of her own superb
ority to the rest Of mankind.
She sets up an artificial
standard Of conduct, dress, de-
pertinent and appearance, and
only those who come withinl
its narrow limits can be deemed
worthy Of her august approval. /

SHOOT THE FREE PRESS AGENT

During the past few years the idea has grown up in the bureaucratic side of our government that all money spent for advertising by the gov ernment should be spent in the big city papers or the magazines. When they want action these press agents send out begging appeals to the country press asking that their dope be printed free These same highly paid press agents draw pay for their work through their ability to get this advertising from the country press free If they could not do that, they would be out of job. Thus the country editor actually pays his salary. The idea that "t don't cost anything to set type, buy paper and ink, pay postage that has been over doubled; pay salaries that have been doubled, seems to have been in circu- lation for years and is now capitalized by these sharks, both private and governmental. If you went into grocery store and smiled at the gro- ceryman and said: q just want to pick out few things free; I'll do it myself so not to trouble you and if they do me any good I'll let you know the groceryman would suggest that the goods cost him money so why not pay for them The government will send man a thousand miles to collect ten cents due it and lose billions selling stuff to profteers, but not one cent for legitimate advertising that would pay thousand per cent on the investment.

BELIEVE IN AMERICA

Believe in America as you believe in yourself. If you bet on America you are bound to win. If you bet against America you are sure to lose of speculation. Halt business depression. You can do it, and when you have done it, set to work to find the underlying causes of the trouble and correct them. You can correct them twice as quickly when times are good. You can't work we'll in state of dread. Face this new year with infexible determination to make it one of action. Your day has dawned. Shun the cellar and it's gloom. Stand on the hilltop and see the glory of the new born sun. Arise, and shine

THE LEGISLATIVE OPPORTUNITY

There is an opportunity of life time for some member of the legislature to make last ing name for himself by introducing bills that will repeal few hundred of the worthless ob- solete and useless laws now on the statute books of the state. There is unanimous opinion among the people that we have too many laws, yet with all the talk there is no one to take up the movement and start clearing away of the dead timber Many bills have already been in- troduced in both houses of the legislature, but no one has as yet thought of repeating any. Who will stand out like beacon light and start the movement?

The statements of the banks of Flagstaff show deposits amounting to some seven million dollars, conclusive evidence that old man pros- perity has number of friends in this vicinity, despite the somewhat unsettled conditions of the country generally. There is a firm feeling of con- fidence that the tight feeling will give way grad ually during the next few months. It is doubt ful if that hilarious swing of profigacy in spend ing money will come back for good many years, but the old sense of knowing where we are "at" is rapidly returning.

There is every reason to believe the board of supervisors are going to take the road question in hand early this spring with well-laid plans now being mapped out and start something that will be of permanent value. The people are heartily behind the movement and feel that the time has come for petty differences to be submerged for the good of the country.

It is conceded by prohibition officers that the Volstead act has succeeded in making ten thous- and stills to grow where there was one before. If the past year is any criterion as to how the law has stopped crime, it should not be bad idea to repeal the law and get back to normal again.

President-elect Harding in replying to the nagging of Lucy Gaston Page, says he thinks it is fine to help save the young from the tobacco habit but the effort should be carried on in good faith and free from hypocrisy. Lucy might ponder over that for awhile and by means of prayer ascertain whether or not her sole aim wasn't more for limelight than for reform.

From general reports the railroads are about as bad off as when the government was handling the roads. Every time they get raise in freight rates they issue much propaganda telling how they are rapidly going broke. Pullman rates have just about doubled, yet it will not be long before the company will be complaining because pass engers have not doubled their old-time tips to the porters.

Flagstaff business men have open to them an opportunity to make 100% on the tourist traffic and scenic possibilities here if they are willing to invest small amount in the project.

The Benevolent and Protective order of Big Five" packers are having very difficult time in controlling the various live stock associations over the country. The stockmen have recently come alive to the fact that some of their very prominent members become heart-broken very quickly when the association votes to protect themselves instead of helping the benevolent packers to control the association for their own purposes. The associations would do we'll to get rid of this class of members" who join it for the purpose of helping the packers help themselves

There is great deal said about the buyers strike" nowadays Wool is worth but little cot ton can not be sold and other raw materials are pretty much in the same condition. Manufac- turers are not making goods and wholesalers are not ordering goods because the retailer is not selling. Prices have come down only 5% since last November despite the drug on the market of raw material It is evident that the manufac- turer and the wholesaler have "gotten theirs" and it is now up to the retailer to get from under the best way he can. It looks as though it was up to the retail merchant to break the buyers strike" and convince the public that it is getting value received for the money. The longer such conditions exist the worse it is for the retail CT. Mechanics in different parts of the country have voluntarily reduced their own wage scale to help start things in the right direction and it is time all hands join in the movement.

Pie-Cutt;ng and the Times.

Mention of the fact that difference
between the President and Senator
Willis over an Ohio appointment has
been satisfactorily adjusted suggests
how little has been heard about patron
age since Mr.. Harding took the reins.
Either he manages uncommonly we'll
in cutting the pie, or there is a new
and improved system about handling
the disgruntled, or the applications at
the pie counter have been diminishing
in number of late years.
Mr.. Wilson had this same good for
tune. There were comparatively few
open quarrels over office during his
eight years in the White House. And
set great deal of patronage was dis
tributed. The republicans had been in
uninterrupted control for sixteen
years, ard this necessarily had made
the democrats hungry and thirsty
Years ago a change in national con-
trcl from one party to the other was
marked by no end of squabbling over
the spoils, which, under the rule, were
assigned to the victors, and in which
the victors manifested the liveliest,
not to say the most aggressive, inter-
est. Personal friendships were often
strained to the breaking point. Local
leaderships were often in peril. The
newspapers We're full of the stories.
1t is all very different now. Patron
age rows that get into the newspapers
are few, and those lack ginger. True,
for some years the press has been
carrying news of so much more i'm
portance than pie-cutting. the old topic,
would not have had a chance even if it
had been very interesting.

divided between the widow and, five
children. One bill only had been al
lowed. for $3.50 for a pair of trousers
purchased by Field in 1895.
Here are two cases Of delays in the
law, strikingly different and yet strik-
ingly alike. The Field case was not a
notable one, for the estate was not
large, but it just hung on and on with
little technicalities delaying, now and
then. The wonder is that .3the whole
estate was not eaten up by fees and
costs.
In the case Of the man at Sing Sing
appeals and reprieves and reconsidera-
tions had worked out a delay that be-
came notorious. This man was the OBJ
ject of wagers by those who We're
sure that he would never be put to
death. He had been convicted of being
the principal in crime actually COM
mitted by another who turned states
evidence. That other man was in the
prison on fresh charge when the
murder conspirator was sent to the
chair.
These long delays in the law are mis-
chievous. They make for disregard
for the law. they induce mobs, they
promote crime, they encourage dis
honesty. Today the most urgent need
II this country is for speedier Justice.

ArmiStice Day.

November II will be day of three
fold significance. 1t is Armistice day,
the third anniversary of the suspen-
sion of fighting between the armies of
Germany and the allies of the United
States. 1t will be the day of convening
of the delegates to the conference on
armament limitation. On that day the
body of an unknown soldier killed in
battle will be buried at Arlington with
such military and civic solemnities as
have rarely been observed in this re-
public. Because of the historic associa-
tions of the day, the mighty import of
the arms parley and the solemnity of
the tribute to the unknown American
dead the President will call for a two
minute halt at noon throughout the
nation to be devoted to prayer and
reverent memories for the dead.

The Wilderness,

Chapters of civil war history are re-
called by the maneuvers which ma
rines will hold next week ON the fields
of the Wilderness and Spotsylvania,
an area which lies roughly sixty miles
southwest of Washington between the
Rappahannock and Rapidan on the
north and the North Anna on the
south. The fighting in the Wilderness
in May 1864 extended eastward to the
field on which Charlottesville was
fought in May. 1868, and the field of
Charlottesville extended eastward to
the ground on which the battle of
Fredericksburg was fought during the
preceding winter. AS the battle of
Salem Church was part of the battle
of Chancellorsville, so Spotsylvania
may be said ito have been part or
continuation of the battle of the
Wilderness
1t was on setting out from Culpeper
and Brandy station, May 3-4. 1864. and
entering the Wilderness by crossing
the Rapidan at Germanna ford that
Grant began the terrific and over
whelming drive against the Army of
Northern Virginia and Richmond
which ended at AppomattoX Court
House in April. 1865. 1t was the drive
which crushed the Confederacy, but
Grants army paid the price, for
though the Army of Northern Virginia
in the spring of 1864 was underfed,
ragged and weakened by the preceding
three years of war. it was still fight
ing force worthy of the finest tradi-
tions of American valor.
Where the Orange turnpike inter-
sects the Germanna Ford road, five
miles south of the Rapidan, and where
the Orange plank road intersects it,
four miles farther to the southwest, Lee
struck the southwark marching host
Of Grant. Ewell coming upon Warren's
corps at the Wilderness tavern and A.
p. Hill on Hancock's corps at Parker's
store. In that land of dim woods,
tangles of scrub growth and hilly old
fields veined by deep ravines waged
the battle, or the "battles,' of the
Wilderness.
