ION railway train one day 40 years
ago from old Newbern to Morehead
City" according to the Birmingham
News, washington Duke, while the
train was crossing bridge on the Trent
River, looked out the railway window
and said to friend of his who had
been general In the Confederate army
General, if I had education, could set
that river afire' Relating the incident
the former West Pointer confided to his
friends, Don't smile at that. In his
own way Wash Duke is a genius. If
the man had education, he might in
deed set our rivers afire. He is one of
these men who do almost anything they
undertake Thirty years later two of
Washington Dukes sons actually set
rivers afire.' 1t was the Dukes who
originated and developed the hydro
electric industry in North Carolina.
That industry has ministered tremen-
dously in making North Carolina the
despair of all its rivals in the South's
development"
"In his WILL as in his gifts during his
life" says the Raleigh News and OBJ
server. "Mr. Duke sought to devise his
money where he believed it would best
carry along his previous contributions.
1t is will that is marked by benehcent
design to aid these individuals and in
stitutions in which he was most inter-
ested. It shows that in death as we'll

Natures Artistry.

BY an unusual combination of mois-
tllre and cold phenomenon appeared
in Washington and the surrounding
area last night and this morning which
surpassed the most artistic efforts of
man in decorative effects. A thin coat
ing Of ice formed upon the trees and
shrubs, without causing any sleet upon
the pavementS and walks The moon
light gave the landscape a strange
glinting brilliance throughout the night,
and this mornings sun transformed the
spectacle into one of radiant loneliness
Seldom is such scene presented to
view. Usually the ice formation occurs
when the skies are overcast and onlv
the lights of the street lamps shed rays
through the crystals and translucent
coatings of twigs and limbs. On this
occasion both moon and sun shone
without obstruction and gave an aspect
Of splendor to the scene.
1t is often remarked of brilliant SUM-
sets that they are too vivid to be real"
1t might thus be said of the spectacle
OF last night and this morning that it
was unbelievable, so perfect was the
coating of ice, so brilliant was the re-
Election of light, SO mystic the whole eff
feet. But Nature performs her miracles
despite the doubts of men.
1t is to be observed that the picture
thus painted by the elements upon the
canvas of the Capital last night was not
OF the "modernistic" school of art. No
laws of perspective or composition were
violated. The scene was rendered with
truth and sincerity and without offense
to the sense of proportion.

are circumscribed quite definitely by the
nature of the mind.
Now the theoretical structure of Elm
stein, even more than the electrons of
Eddington, obviously lies beyond con-
ceivable experience. 1t is a reality
beyond our own reality-a reality to
which all our world of sense experience
bears the relation of shadow on
thick wall. We are as incapable of
penetrating it as is the shadow of
penetrating the reality across which it
drifts
The Einstein theories leave the lay
observer with haunting sense of in
sufficicncy and unreality--a vague, dis
comforting nihilistic delusion. The four
and five dimensional concepts required
to construct mathematical universe in
which gravity and electro magnetism
will result from structure alone are
millions of years beyond the boundaries
Of the mind playing with images.

FOREST ROAD BILL
GIVEN APPROVAL
COULTON-ODDIE LEGISLATION is
ENDORSED BY HIGHWAY OF
FICIAL AT BOISE
Increases Annual Allotment for Forest
Roads From 81, 500, 900 to S12,5 500. 900;
O. S. Warden of Great Falls Placed
on Executive Board.

Unqualified endorsement of the
Cotton Oddie legislation providing
for increases in the allotment of for
est money to western states was
voted by the Association Of West
ern States highway officials in con-
ventiOn at Boise, Idaho.
The Endorsement followed a pro-
longed debate over whether the in
dorsement should be immediate and
in full, or await a study and report
to be submitted to the national aSso-
citation of state highway officials, meet
ing in San Antonio next fall. c. H.
Purcell, California state highway n
gineer, finally won out with the i'm
mediate unqualified Endorsement.
The legislation calls for an increase
from 81, 800, 900 to $l2, 0 900 in the
annual allotment Of forest highway
funds for the next two years, and
President Henry H. Blood predicts q
proportionate increase would be made
in the federal air appropriation. This
would result in this fund being in
creased from 10000 900 annually to
SIPS, 0O0, 900.
The convention also adopted a reso-
SIS, 900 per mile limit fixed for federal
participation in highway construction.
Blood, who is chairman of the Utah
state highway commission, was re-
elected president of the association,
while z. E. Sevison of Wyoming and
Joe d. Wood of Idaho were reelected
vice president and secretary-treasurer,
respectively.
Members of the executive committee
were chosen as follows: Blood, Wood,

Gold Seekers Are
Again Turning to
Old Alder Gulch

Virginia City, the site OF early day
mining activity, again hears the ring
of the ~prospector's pick. The renewed
quest for gold is centered across the
Tobacco Root range from Virginia
City, not far from the towns Of Ennis
and McAlliSter.
A number of prospectors have re-
quested information regarding state
owned lands in the region as to terms
and conditions of state mining leases.
Under the state statutes prospectOrs
are issued permits which give them
the exclusive right to search upon
areas covered by the permits. The
minimum fee for permits, issued by the
state board of land commissioners, Is
$40 a year. If the searcher discovers
mineral deposits in paying quantities,
he is then entitled to lease the land
under terms of the enabling act. All
leases are made by the state board on
the royalty basis, with a royalty OF
not less than five per cent Of the value
of pres taken out at the mine.

Keepsake Has Double Value
This brooch is rather an elaborate
affair. The plain gold plate forming
the background has a raised rim. With
in this is a tiny twisted chain sup
porting two grape vines, leaves and
fruit, the leaves meeting at the top
and the vines crossed at the bottom.
Both leaves and vines are decorated
in a manner of which I do not know
Of lighter gold than the vines, and
the technical terms. The leaves Of
the latter are of a different color from
the remainder Of the brooch. Care
fully examined, this bit of jeWelry is
very beautiful. / valued it heretofore
chiefly on account of its having been
my mothers. Henceforth it will pos
sess historical associations-the two
rendering it priceless. The age of this
heirloom is IS years, it having been
made in 1864.
There is a story in connection with
this brooch which has already been
told, but will bear retelling in this con-
nection.
l was invited a few years ago by
Superintendent Campbell to witness the
meeting OF the chapters OF the five
years program, held by the Blackfeet
on their reservation. 1t was an inter
esting experience, although on account
of defective hearing and my unfamiliar
ity with the Blackfeet language I could
not understand all that was going on.
l was kept apprised Of the discus
sions to a considerable extent through
written reports kindly furnished me by
Assistant Superintendent Stone and
others.
On the last day / was there, Mr..
Campbell called upon me to give a
short talk to the Indians. They might
not understand what l said any better
than l did them, but through the aid
of the two interpreters, Richard Sando-
val and Oscar Boy, my meaning would
be made clear.
In the course of my talk. I removed
my brooch at Superintendent Camp
bells suggestion, and laid it on a near
by table, telling them its history as I
knew it then, and inviting them to in
spect it. l thought they would one by
one come to the table and look at it.
Instead, it passed from hand to hand
through all that crowd. l began to be
apprehensive l should never see it
again, when happening to look towards
the table, there the brooch lay, none
the worse for having passed through
SO many hands. l wondered if it would
have been as safe in as large and mixed
a gathering OF white men and women
