imitation is unusually compelling.

The image, through changes in
the consistency Of the rock, has
become harder than steel. Geolo'

1t would be impossible to make
these impressions today by rubbing
with flint implements. 1t is four

through to the back.

lessor of geology at the Colorado
School of Mines. He has not seer
the image, but has found alternate
dark and light-colored banded rocks
in the Denver Mountain parks near
to where the stone was found
which, he believes, date back tC
the Archean period. This indicates
the numerous uplifts in the Rockies
several times nearly worn away
and the contention Of certain geolO
gists that the stone may date back

Strengthened financial circum-
stances. In feet, the divine
Sarah" despite the enormous
sums she has earned upon. the

Must Go to Work.
Despite her illness, Nine. Bern
harlt feels that she must return to
her dramatic work at the earliest
possible moment to pay off her debts,
many of which were incurred
through unfortunate investments BY
her son, Maurice
It is learned from an authoritative
source that Mime. Bernhardt IS sui
fering from uremia. Her niends
have declared since the begiN ling OF
her illness that she would never be
able to return to the stage. Members
of her family and the doctors did not
dare to tell Nine. Bernhardt of her
real condition.
Instead, for purposes of keeping
up her iridomitable courage, they
held out the prospect that she would
be able to resume her career They
feared that. if she learned her dra-
matte career was ended, desponde
would follow and she might give up
her valiant fight for health.
The foregoing circumstances were
responsible for false reports circu-
lated in the United States a fort
night ago that Madame Bernhardt
would take up her woAk within y
week or ten days.
Relief Is Planned.
Sacha Guitry, author OF the new
MAY in which Madame Berphardt
was to have had the leading role,
but which is being produced with
Henriette Rogers playing the part
reserved for the divine Sarah"
contemplates plans for the financial
relief.
Guitry and other intimates are
considering an appeal to fheater pa
irons throughout the world to give
benefit performances in England
and America, where Bernhard has
appeared. for the purpose of raising
the 1000, 900 francs NECESSARY to
pay off the actress, debts.
Madame Sarah'a last perform
aacet was her actual farewell. al
though she did not know it, said
;Guitry to his friends today. She
does not know it yet. Her last
dress rehearsal was the greatest
triumphs of her life. Never have
I seen such emotion. In the play
she held a letter. in her hand and
wept. It was so realistic that,
after the rehearsal the letter was
found to be sodderi with her tears"

She confesses to four marriages, contracted minus forms of divorce and is presumed to have been involved in seven others. Explaining her matrimonial multi plicities, the lady has this to say: ''I have always been popular with men because of my ]ight-hearted disposition and good nature7 There you have it, ladies, the secret of hus- band-getting The sure card to matrimonv is light-hearted disposition and good nature It worked in the immediate case eleven times in quick succession and it has never been known to fail.

town of the Representative introducing the measure, as well as other towns in the Second and Third divisions. This amendment pro- vides that all forms for holding an election be furnished the clerks of court by the Terri toral secretary.
 By this measure the Fourth Division as we'll as the Third and Second Divisions would be knocked out of probably $2000 worth of printing for each division. This work has heretofore been done by the papers at Nome, Valdez and Fairbanks. This work Is done as cheaply at these places as it could be done at Juneau, as the forms for each division are changed, necesstating different set-up. It would mean that under the law the Territory would be forced to pay many more thousands of dollars for the work The Territory now pays the expenses of the primary elections, while the Federal Government under the en- abling act, pays the expenses of the general election, the money coming from Fund c, which is raised by licenses and fines in each division To turn this work in to a Juneau firm, which would be done in case the amend ment passes, would be to take that much money from each division to support outside industries, money to which the First Division has no right whatever
 Under the present school system all printing is done at Juneau for the schools of the Terri tory, notwithstanding that the town pays for the school by taxes raised from it's citizens. To take further business away from the papers of each division would be to cause an unde- served hardship.
 The voters of Fairbanks as well as other divisions should send protest to the Legis lature against such imposition. - Seward Gateway. ...,a,>.,..

 There could be no greater reform than the restoration of our Government to something like normalcy. The result would be good in every way. There would follow a lesseninr of cost, a reduction of taxes, an increased efficiency, and a much more self-reliant spirit n the people. No reform that is suggested today begins to compare in value and impor- tance with the reform that would bring such things to pass. It used to be an axiom that the government which governs least governs best. Now the idea seems to be that the more a government does, and the more it costs. the better it is.

COST OF GOVERNMENT

People who are demanding, and rightly, reduction in public expenditures and lower- ing of taxes, ought not in their meditations to overlook one very important truth, and that is that the more government they have the greater will its cost be. The great ex- pansion of government activities began about a quarter of century ago, and it has gone steadily forward, until today our governments, national, state, and municipal, are performing tasks which no one would in the beginning even dream of assigning to them. Public pay rolls have grown enormously, and they are still growing. A few days ago Representative Raincy said, in an address before farmers meeting in Illinois, that "every two persons lin the United States engaged in productive labor have on their shoulders at least one person who is supported entirely by taxes" We have multiplied inspectors, supervisors, special agents, divisions and bureaus to an alarming-and very burdensome-extent.
