have packed out optimism and hopes
to the new camps.
We are funny people, take us by
and large. We are bound to make
. our dreams come true, and \ve die
trying it. “Hitch your wagon to a
st:»i ” some gink once wrote, and we
have all had our heads in the clouds
*\e, since, overlooking the beauties j
>f the >pot we stood upon ;.nd the ad- 1
/milages of the camps which were
■»ut a short day's travel from us.. We
k«*ep on traveling to the new camps
*t promises, until one day we come
to our last camp in the promised
and. and another dreamer finds that:
lis dreams have come true, hut not
xactly how and where he expected
them to.
Hero’s a case in point; The inter-,
st the people of this camp have evi- j
lenced in Hyder, the new camp on •
'he bolder which is most remarkable
n that its riches in silver lie over
the line a mile away and in a foreign 1
’and. \nd all the time, in the Kan
' ttehna. we have a larger and richer;
j know n silver wealth than both Hyder
ml its Canadian neighbor, Stewart j
* |»ossess. Hyder and Stewart are yet
to demonstrate— the Kantishna ha.>
iteen proven and its silver lodes are
uncovered ;uul in plain sight. Tom
Vitken, mushing from camp to camp
* *ver the hills, was shown the Kan
I i&hna ore, hurried there to take a
ook at the propelt\ and grabbl'd it
.tt once on option. He is spending
* vl at is roal!\ hiu money developing
ui* optioned mine, and is shipping
to the tail road at fabulous expense
-he wouldn’t do that unless he
;nc" tlv value or tlie or**, for h»
knows silver-lead ore a> well as the
•ie\t ow. And there an* many other !
. irh silver-lead claims partially devil*
>ped there, and every prospector and j
;b** Kantishna is going to back thiS
minor who has spent the years in
. \luska That tells what’s really in a
amp.
When the miners cam*- to the north
n ISPs, they came away from camps
iVhen -dive* would’nt sell for oO
cents, and where it cost that 11* take
t out. Kver since then silver has
o>»k* *i lik* counterfeit money to them
\ although the demand for silver is so
: at now that it is commanding tin*
la» gest price over paid for it. Silver
is the fair hai»ed h«»v in the metal
hunch today, the red-headed copper
kul even taking a back seat for sil
v« r. But th** fact that the old miners
have that ancient suspicion of silver
and t‘01 the further fact that they
came here to mine gold and can’t con
teat themselves with taking out any
| thing • •!se. they would be in the Kan
I tishnu camp throe-deep, and their
camp would compel proper and suf
fir lent roads in that s«*ction to make
mining easy.
Slowly but sur»*lt% this country and
its people ar«* coming down to brass
tacks which are not the stuff that
dreams are made of. The country is
coming to it faster than the people
an*, but tbe wise Mikes of this North
’ land will be those who are able to
bring themselves to realize today
Ih l the. riches of this camp are most
all here vet* that thev lie in more
! than one channel, and tliat the boy

j face and can content himself to learn
to labor and wait will he wearing dia

The work appeals to our American
love of big figures. There are f»0,
OOO.dOu of our people without proper
library faeitities. We have 15,000,000
foreign-bom; and self-education by
fjee books is the best way in which
0.000,000 of them knowing no Eng
lish may acquire the language. A
solid mass of books of Wool worth
Building size might merely render li
brary first aid to undersupplied com
munities.
In many rural towns former resi
dents who have acquired wealth else
where* are endowing libraries; for cit
dilation branches in outlying hamlet-*
to be supplied from the central village.
This sporadic and occasional boon
should be universal. Political safety

greatly promoted.

towns by private generosity, with or
without public co-operation, should bo

VV \ SHIN(;rON HOUSEWIVES
HAVE FORMED A UNION
WASHINGTON, 1). C.,— A House
wives’ union is a new organization of
prominent women in Washington
among whom are Mrs. A. S. Hurle
<on, wife of the postmaster gen
eral; Mrs. Joshua Willis Alexander,
wife of the secretary of commerce,
and the wives of other Cabinet mem
bers.
With contracts between mistress
and maid, pledges of loyalty between
employer and employe* and specified
hours “off” for employes, society
women and horn el; copers of the capi
tal are seeking to solve the servant
problem. Through the Housekeepers’
Alliance the members hope for such
success that their organization may
become national in its scope. Chief
counselors and members of the al
liance include Mr*. Matthew T. Scott,
honorary president of the Daughters
of the American Revolution; Mrs.
#
Rose Gouverneur Hoes, a writer,
now president of tin* alliance, and
Mrs. Randolph Hopkins, formerly of
the United States Department of
Labor.
The key to the whole plan lies in
the contract to be entered into when
employment begins. The housewife
and maid must agree as to whether
two weeks* or a month's notice is to
be given should either be dissatis
fied with the arrangement. In case
the employer discharges the maid
without giving her the specified
notice, the employer must pay an en
tire month’s wages. If the maid
“quits” without giving proper notice,
the other members of the union,
will be informed of her action, so
that they will not give her employ
ment. A sliding scale of wages is
to obtain.
The union will work through a
model employment office, where the
rocords of all applicants for aorvfco
