ijiee at ieabt. This does not mean j
114 course, that *uc1a action on the pal
ui either biUiich of congress is likeij
io be to the national disadvantage,j
still at the same time it is to be re
gretted for the reason that an undue
influence ut the present time is likel)
,u provoke conditions which may re
sult in irreparable harm. Throughout
Uio war period, the president has
Handled the foreign situation in a
most admirable manner and lias at
all times displayed remarkable tact
and patience, especially ini those del
icate negotiation arising at intervals
where an ill-advised word, or action
might have provoked results wnr i
cannot be contemplated without a
shudder.
While it may have seemed to maw j
that tne piesiuent was at times guilt j
of a trifling vaceilation in regard to
certain mutters, the Anal results hate
proven that he was proceeding with
u caution entirely justified by the na
ture of the circumstances under con
sideration. In every case the results
obtained have showed beyond the
shadow of a doubt that he was thor- j
oughly aware of what lie was doing j
and was but choosing the course of j
the least resistence in order to achieve
bis ends. However much we may
disagree with such policy it must be
admitted that it is nut without virtue
in that it makes strongly for peace,
especially in such trying times as,
these when the passions of men anti
nations are keyed to feverish piten
and tne spirit of justice is subvertea
io the basest Interests.
At such times tne space between a ,
. id and blow is small indeed an. j
die veriest trifle may serve to star. (
a flame tnat may not be easily quench- ,

l'p to the present the president .
has met every situation with wisdom
and foresight etraordinary. At no ,
lime i.as he faltered when handling
lite many critical situations arising
from the European disturbance or ,
displayed the least tendency of im
patience or an inclination to depart
from the policy ’ which would tend to
preserve peace. Time and again he
lias been called upon to exercise the
ultimate of moderation, discretion and
wisdom in matters of the greatest mo
ment and he has proved himself ready
for any emergency requiring coolness
of judgment and sound common sense.
As an administrator he has «isplayed
the highest qualities of statesmanship,
temperate judgment and unerring vis
ion and the results obtained undu
liis direction have been all that may
l>e consistently expected. In no re
spect has he been found wanting in

Placer mining in interior Alaska is;
to be revolutionized. At least such
is the hope of J. W. Toole, one of the
ngincers in charge of the dredge on
Fairbanks creek. Mr. Toole has per
, cted a steam shovel which he hopes
to work underground, and which he
thinks will replace the pick and shovel
rnen in the drift. Within the near
future he hopes to give his invention
thorough tryout on 15 below, Fair
inks creek, and if it is as successful
ful os he is confident that it will be. It
