OUR CURIOSITY

THERE are two kinds OF CURIOSITY
H. morbid and intelligent,
The one is useless-even harmful
The other is the driving force that Is
behir.i all science and all progress
man gets out of an automobile IN
a busy street to pump up tire. =
hundred people gather round to watch
him The same people viii stand
around man who has fallen and IN
jured himself gaping at him, and IN
terfering with those who want to ala
him. They gain nothing by being there.
They have seen hundreds OF tires
pumped up-scores of men fall down.
Their curiosity only breeds rudeness
and idleness
Intelligent curiosity Is born in the
human being. 1t prompts the baby to
pull his rattle to pieces, and later on
to punch a, hole In his drum to see
what is inside that makes the noise.
1t finds its fullest development in the
painful Investigations of the scientist,
seeking to solve the riddle of the uni
verse.
Finding out how things work is al
most all of useful knowledge
The man who is Indifferent to his
surroundings is not going very far on
his journey In this world.
He needs curiosity. 1t is important
that he should crafty 1t. He ought
to be curious about the growth of the
tree, the manner in which buildings
are put up, or battleships are put to-
gether-the movements of the stars
In their courses.
He ought to cherish an abiding thirst
for knowledge-knowledge about ev-
erything. Such man will get an edu-
cation whether or not he ever sees
the inside Of college building. his
curiosity, rightly directed, will force
him to know things-and knowing
things is education.
The child who asks countless Ques-
lions should be encouraged. More
over his curiosity should be employed
as a means of educating him. It
should be fed, and developed, and
made greater as the years go by.
And presently it twill send him out
into the world determined to find out
things for himself When he reaches
that stage his parents and teachers
can stop worrying about hiai.
He will get along.

Let rs be better menl
Let us find things to do
Saner and sweeter than any yet,
Higher and nobler and truel
Let us be better meal
Let us begin again,
Trying all over the best we know
To climb and develop and grow.
Let us be better menl
Whether with pick or pen,
The labor we do is work worth while
If our hearts are clean an our spirits
smile.
And out of the ruck and rust and stain
We make some growth and we mark
some gain.
Let us be better menl
In a world that needs so much
The loftier spirit s touch.
Let us grow upward toward the light,
Welded to wanting to do the right
Rather than welded to human might

Now that the holidays are over, the
children have had restful and happy
vacation from school work, the par
ents have dedicated themselves anew
to the kind of "peace on earth =
which makes for better world for
their children, and we have all settled
down to term of enthusiastic accom-
plishment, isn't it a good time for par
ents and school trustees to show their
appreciation of the work of the teach
err Next to the parents no one is so
interested in the children s welfare, so
devoted to their general growth and
development as well as their school
education as the teacher. Her work
viii be far more effective if the child
rem know that the parents and trus-1
tees believe in her, trust her judgment,
and back her up in her ideals and her
decisions. She will be happier as well
as more effective in doing it if the
appreciation that is in the hearts of
the people of the community finds ex
preston occasionally in words, in oe-
casional Inequalities extended, and in
other small acts of consideration. Get

OPENED DOOR FOR TAX REFORM

While the wisdom of the North
Idaho chamber of commerce, in the
face of SO many civic, social and
economic problems, devoting practical
ly its entire program to the tax prob
lem, may be open to question, there
can be no doubt of the timeliness of
the question itself nor, as evidenced
by the attendance, of the interest in
the subject. The talk by Livengood,
of the Washington association, would
of itself have made the meeting worth
while.
But it is to be hoped that the prop
osition of a better fiscal system viii
not be allowed to rest with addresses
from the platform. Undoubtedly, the
several good talks on state and local
finances did not reach enough people
to count for much in engineering a
state movement, but the effects can
be made so by perfecting organiza-
tons for the purpose, and we hope
that the agitation win take concrete
form in the formation of local as
sociation in each county, the associa
tions to be connected later into a state
body which shall act as clearing
house for the counties and to handle
the state aspects of the problem
AS Mr.. Livengood explained, tax re-
duction does not consist in merely lop
ping off regardless of their character,
like an Irishman hitting heads at q
Denny fair, but the taxpayers
should be educated to know where his
taxes go and what he gets for them.
A given appropriation may be Il
worthy one, but the work may be done
wastefully. We cannot of course, use
the standards of thirty years ago, as
the proper gauge of the cost of our
government, as more is demanded of
government now than then, but the
essential thing is that the people /
should know exactly what it costs, and
whether the work is being done eff
ficiently and in accordance with the
best methods There can hardly be
any difference of opinion over the wis
dom of such proposition as the serial
bond issue, and there viii not be any
objection to the abstract proposition
that the burden of taxes should be
equally, but there viii be
difference when it comes
o considering concrete propositions
Nevertheless this is just as important
IS reducing expenses and securing eff
icioncy in government. A tax COM

doubtedly call the attention of Con- gres to the necessity for such law, and Congress would pass such a law itself The Legislature would be at least within its rights to memorialize Congress as to the necessity of such law.
 The present situation is one fraught by great danger. While no fair minded man desires to disqualify any Indian or white voter from his right of franchise, or to take his place as peeIs of any inhabitant of the North land, insofar as he is qualified so too, yet the idea of any body of illiterates controlling the destinies of a great Territory, like Alaska, or of a body of interruptions demagogues, whether Indian or White, yielding the power given them by the control of thous- ands of ignorant voters, is repugnant to the 100 per cent American.

ALASKA MISUNDERSTOOD

The great Territory of Alaska has thousand tourists, many Of whom have gone away satisfied that they have received their moneys worth, while others have kicked themselves into fever over not finding things as they supposed they would be from seeing the various alleged northern films depicting life as it is imagined by the movies rather than as it is. Probably no country is as little un- derstood as Alaska, and this ignor- ance is fostered by every motion pie ture concern visiting the Territory. Our broad, grassy valleys strewn with myriad-hued flowers, the purling streams, and glittering cascades, the pretty farms, and wealth of flora are all omitted by the camera man, who looks for the bizarre and oftimes the ludicrous The Alaskan, himself, is prone to send snow pictures to friends and relatives Outside Some day we will have a motion picture showing Alaska as it really is, It's people, as we'll dressed and intelligent as those of any country, will not be de picted as dance hall artists, booze hounds and two-gun men. It's wo- men will not be rouged and rustling drinks for bewhiskered, pac-clad min CTS. It's scenery will be sun-kissed and verdant clad skies of cerulean hue will not be darkened with mach ine-made blizZards, while blonde hero ines and dark-hued williams strive to cast each other over impossible gla- ciers. Rather will we be shown as a domestic nation with the same tastes and abhorrenceS as the bob bed-haired deniZens of the States, and our climate will be forced to the back ground for lack of thrills. More peo- pie are frozen to death in the Dako- tas each year than in Alaska. but the Dakotas are never exploited by the meIc,lcss moving picture magLate. Truth may be mighty and prevail at times, but error is preferred by the movie fan.

Paradise Valley Found
 In Westward District

What is believed to be the Garden of Eden has been discovered by Jack Lee and Hank Russell, intrepid pros pectors for oil in the district south west of Mother Goose lake in the Kejulik valley. In fact, so different is this small valley from its sur rounding country, owing to its being warmed by subterranean fires, that the men at first believed they had been transported to some tropic cline.
 The district west of Iliamna lake is composed chiefly of volcanoes, noun tains, tundra ,lakes and low-lying hills. The country is absolutely bar ren of all vegetation except moss and some short, scrubby alders, and at times patches of grass.
 Coming over steep mountain pass, about 17O0 feet in height the men saw an unbroken forest be- meath them. Descending into the val ley they found the trees about two feet in diameter and vegetation far in excess of the surrounding coun- try Thousands of wild flowers car peted the lush grass, and on every hand game was found. Several va rieties of trees grow in the vallgD in- cluding cottonwood, spruce and hem lock.
 No traces were found that any other human had ever trod these fastnesses, the game being so tame as to be a nuisance, and the long grass standing erect and in profus- sion. It is believed that the valley which was named Eden valley by it's discoverers, is warmed by the near proximity of subterranean fires, and that the lofty volcanoes around have kept trappers and others away.

 The blaze is burning in white pine, fir and cedar timber in the Colville national forest, and has only to cross a hill ot get into one of the finest stands of white pine in the district. the property of the White Pine Sash company. Endorsements of 300 men have been asked from this city.

The many new buildings being er ected in Seward are attracting the at- tention of residents of neighborng towns, who are profuse with com plimentary remarks. Seward can boast that whatever buildings are be- ing erected are all fire-proof, cement structures, modern and slightly. The old shacks are giving way to concrete structures, and within few more years will be relegated to the days of long ago.

Seward has been most fortunate in a paucity of automobile accidents, but it is because the Grim Reaper has been too busy hanging around Anchor age and Juneau to pay attention to the rest of the Territory Our day is at hand, and as death loves a shin ing mark, its victims will be the least to be spared in the community.
