BAKER SPRINGS
TO BE BOOMED
Manley’s Enterprise Expected to
Make a Great Change in Condi
tions the Other Side of the Divide
Mon from across the divide say the
improvements being undertaken at
Baker Creek Hot Springs mean that
that place will soon become one of es
traordany importance in affairs on the
other side.
Report has it that the hotel to be
built at the springs by Frank Manley
will cost $100,000; Baker creek will be
cleared of obstructions so that boats
with passengers and supplies may make
regular trips to the resort; ample stock
will be carried to accommodate miners,
and the place will expand into one of
the liveliest centers in the whole Tariana
valley.
Ancle from the advantages of the sit
uation for trade and for a health and
pleasure resort, the country to the
northward when prosjiected is expected
to yield extensive pay, and the agricul
tural features of the district will be
developed to an extent hitherto scarcely
dreamed of. With regard to the farm
ing jmssibilities, it is asserted that the
“warm streak” culminating at the
springs is of an extent many times
greater than generally supposed.
The grounds around the springs are
to be platted and lots are to lie free to
those who will improve them.
Withal, the situation is so favorable
and the boost given it by Mr. Manley's
enterprise is so emphatic that not a few
have concluded that great things are
going to happen over there.
Hen Baker, who has been in town for
the past several days, will have charge

ROBINS RELEASED
FROM INSANE ASYLUM
Special telegram, Seattle Post-1iitelligeiicer.
Portland, June 29.—At the instance of
Presiding Judge Sears, of the circuit
court, S. P. Robins was today released
from the Crystal Springs sanitarium at
Mount Tabor, to which institution he
was sent fTom Alaska last April as an
insane patient.
Hotiins declared that he was one of
the incorjMirators of a placer mining
company near Rampart, Alaska, his
brother-in-law, a clergyman, lieing man
ager of the company. A disagreement
arose over the business management of
the company and Robins alleges that
his brother-in-law had him sent to the
asylum.
Dr. Gillespie, of the institution, said
that the young man was not insane
when he was committed there.
[ The news that Robins has lieen re
leased is not surprising. At the time of
his trial in Rampart his physician testi
fied that his mental faculties would
probably regain tlieir normal condition
before he could reach the hospital, lie
had tried, or had pretended to try, to
destroy himself. At bis trial M. E.
Koonce was the complaining witness,
and that is the sole foundation for as
serting that “his brother-in-law had him
sent to the asylum.”]
LAW OF COMPENSATION
EXEMPLIFIED IN DAY’S LENGTH
Dawson News.
Editor News: To satisfy the curiosity
of several of your subscribers, as well as
to settle a little argument between them,
will you please answer the following
questions and oblige?
Is the daylight (not sunshine) and
darkness throughout the year the same
in all purts of the world? or do we have
more daylight throughout the year, here
at Pawann, than the countries south of
US? A SCHSCBIBKK.
[ The law of compensation was never
In-Iter exemplified than in this very
matter of sunlight. I'nder the true
ii|Uator the length of the day is e<|ual
summer and winter, Iwing twelve hours
of each. As one proceeds north or south
of that true equator the days are longer
than the nights in summer, and shorter
than the days ill winter—but the year
round will lie found to average just as at
the equator. Taking the entire year,
the total ilay and night for all places are
the same, with this exception, that as
one travels from the equator, the ele*
merit of twilight is intrislnced into tin*
problem. Ami the i|Uestion asked is
m>t as to tlie sunshine. Tin* answer is
that if twilight Is* regarded as daylight,
there is more in a year at the north |mlr
than at the initiator. If the sun living
alsive the horixoti is meant, both sum
up alike.— Ed.’
