Yesterday’s issue of the Valdez
Miner contains much reading
matter about the mines of Valdez
and many extra copies were print
ed, which are on sale at the of
fice of the Prospector and the
drug stores. Send them to your
friends that they may know the
result of the work already done
on the mines in the surrounding
country and of the great values
in gold and copper taken out of
our precinct. _
WOOL AND THE CONSJMEft.
One of the biggest sheepmen
in the west told the tariff makers
in Washington that he did not
believe that free wool would re
sult in any benefit to tho con
sumer and that it would not in
jure the wool grower, who would
continue to raise sheep for mut
ton rather than for their fleece;
If this man is right in the con
tention that free wool will not
hamper the sheepmen there
should be no furtner objection to
putting wool on the free list. Such
action would not he likely to re
sult in any injury to the ultimate
consumer, whatever else, if might
do. If the sheep raisers are not
afraid of abolishing the protec
tion the public in general cer
tainly has no cause for alarm.
The removal <>f the duty on wool
might not make a great differ
ence in favor of the consumer,
but it certainly would not make
one againsi him. If the sheep
raisers increase the mutton sup
ply, the consumer is not going
to l,e hui'',
AN OLD FRIEND.
Ill spile of tile progress being
made in I in- courts toward doing
away willi tpiiblilcs, our old
friend. Technicality, bobs up
serenely in a case just tiled willi
the United Stales Supreme court,
on an appeal from a Federal court
in Indiana. The iiucslion came
lip in a bankruptcy proceeding
in which the applicant named one
of his creditors as a resident of
Indianapolis, instead of Indianap
olis, Indiana. Of course, no one
will contend that the error was
vital, or that the ends of justice
would be defeated by the -omis
sion, but the lawyer gets the fee
and the clients will have to wait
until the case drags its weary
length through the higher court.
There is much excitement in
Washington over the report that
some foreign nation has stolen
the plans of a proposed dread
n ught. Well, the way to get the
joke on the thief is to fail to build
the boat.
Postmaster General Burleson’s
new rules that no applicant who
is insane shall be appointed as a
fourth-class postmaster. Will
that rule bar applicants who are
crazy to hold office?
A funny cable story from Af
rica is that the farmers are ask
ing for a law to protect lions.
The prevailing impression is that
the African lion is usually able
to protect himself.
A cooking class for men has
been started at Cornell. It seems
to be necessary since so many of
the girls’ schools have abandon
ed the cooking classes.
The Tramp. *
He’s idle, unsteady, and every
one’s ready to throw him a dor
nick 01 give him a biff; he’s al
ways in tatters, but little it mat
ters; he’s evermore happy, so
what is the.diff? He carries no
sorrow, no care for tomorrow, his
roof is the heaven his couch is the
soil; no sighing or weeping break
in on his sleeping, no bell in the
morning shall call him to toil.
As free as the breezes he goes
where he pleases, no' rude over
seer to boss him around; his joys
do not wther, he goes yon and
hither, till dead in a haystack or
ditch he is found. The joys of
such freedom—no sane man can
need ’em. Far better to toil for
the kids and the wife, till muscles
are aching and collarbone break
ing, then selfishly follow the vag
abond life. One laborer toiling
is worth the whole boiling of id
lers and tramps of whatever de
gree; and although we all know
it we don’t find a poet embalming
the fact as embalmed it should
be. The poets will chortle about
the blithe mortal who wanders
the highways and sleeps in the
hay, but who sings the toiler, thq:
sweat spangled moiler, who rais
es 10 k'ds on a dollar a day?
