EXPERIENCE

"T DOUBT it not" said the priest in
Don Quixote,' indeed it is well
known, that the mountains breed
learned men, and the huts of shep-
herds contain philosophers"
"At least, sir" replied the goatherd,
'they contain men who have some
knowledge gained from experience"
One can learn much from books, and
that is no doubt the easiest and the
cheapest way to learn. l spend much
of my time in urging young men to
make the most of their opportunities
to acquire wisdom in this way, but the
school of experience is open to every
one, and though the cost of tuition is
high, the lessons are excellently
taught.
Youth is wont to take lightly the adj
vice which comes from experience.
There was a good deal of dancing in
the community, and young Jackson
was devoting himself to the recreation
with a too fervid enthusiasm, his ia
ther thought.
II wish you wouldn't dance so
much" the father said. tits a good
deal waste of time"
"But you danced when you were a
boy, father" was the reply.
Eyes, but l came to see the folly Of
it."
"Well, l want to see the folly of 1t,
too"
He was not willing to learn from the
experience of others.
Often we are willing to learn from
the erudite and those high up in the
world, but when it comes to shep-
herds and mountain-bred men, we
raise our eyebrows and take on a SUI
percilious air. What can the illiterate
teach us?
When l was in England years ago !
lived for number of weeks on a farm
In Warwickshire. In the long walks
which l took I used to come into daily
contact with a stone-breaker plying his
toll at the roadside. He was far along
in years, and lived with his thrifty
wife in rose-covered cottage near
to the place where he was working.
He was a philosopher who taught me
many things as ! essayed to help him
at his work with an extra hammer.
1t seemed impossible with a little
hammer to break up the huge stones
lying at the roadside.
Thine and patience" he used to
say, will accomplish impossibilities.
Keep at it persistently, and the rocks
will break"
! have since then found his state
ments true in conquering other things
than rocks.
| have thought of the old mans ad-
vice often when / have been impa-
tient and irritated because things
which should be done could not be ac-
complished in moment. From ex-
perience he had learned, patience. per-
sistence, the effect of keeping con-
stantly at thing, and he was only q
Htone-breaker.

 Naturally MT. Truscott was shock ed to learn of the recent disaster which befell thecraft. Il knew all of the officers personally" he said. "The craft must have run into a heavy wind and received terrific wrench. Like a ship at sea, one could not expect it to be invulner- able. When we built it we took the best of what we could learn of the German and British methods and added some of our own."

H. E. Ellsworth Goes To Juneau To Attend
 Coming Fish Meeting

H. E. Ellsworth, who disposed of his garage and taXi-cab business Sat urday to Al Davis and Peter Ogle, departed yesterday on the steamer Yukon, for Juneau where he will attend the meeting of the Territorial Fish Commission. At the completion of the Juneau meeting, providing it does not occupy more than a weeks time, MT. Ellsworth contemplates re- turning to Seward to complete other local business matters. He plans then, to depart again for the south, at that time for Seattle where Mrs. Ellsworth is undergoing medical treatment. During the coming win ter he expects to be in and out of Seward many times.
 Regarding the recent deal made with Davis and Ogle, MT. Ellsworth asked the Seward Gateway to con- vey his personal thanks to his past patrons and hopes his successors will enjoy the same splendid patron age from them, as he has in the past.
 MT. Ellsworth is taking his large Buick auto South with him, as he anticipates doing considerable motor ing in the States, especially for the benefit of his wife. He has not dis posed of his many other interests in Seward, but on the other hand, expects to invest quite heavily in another line before spring.

turn to the States en route to the Los Angeles office of the Hartman intreests. Tn an interview granted the Cordova Daily Times, MT. Trus- colt said:
 'The outlook is very encouraging and I think there is no doubt that whatever coal is there is worth de veloping. I look for action of this sort in the spring. Several engi- neers for the anthracite railroad are due to arrive here within the next few weeks and will go over the ground and make recommendations. I hope to meet them before they leave Seattle and talk about the sit uation. I am sailing from Cordova on the Alaska and may go to Los Angeles and confer with other mem bers of our company about rehabili- tatoin of the property"
 To Ship Coal In Year.
 MT. Truscott explained that the company stopped work in the fall of 1922, having been prepared to go ahead seriously the following spring when the failure of the brokerage house which was financing the rail- road stopped all developments in the coal field.
 T am informed that there is every reason to hope that the railroad will be completed shortly Between 10 and 15 miles are yet to be built Part of this distance is graded and ready for ties and rails. A dock must also be put in. I judge that one property there could be shipping coal three or four months after the completion of the railroad Our own property is the farthest away and it would be year before ship ments could commence.
 There is a possibility that the " Oi h " as ldI LCu d IAd lcild D1L prematurely. It began when the Pa cific Coast was mainly concerned with the oil boom and coal was un- der a handicap. That handicap is being removed because the cost of oil as fuel is climbing. I think flu ture generations are going to regret that more of the finer grade oil was not saved for lubricants instead of being burned.
 Assisted Construction DirigibIe
 Coal is coming back in more ways that one. In the powdered form it has been successfully used and one of the best run railways in the east is now fitting for this type of coal"
