WHERE THEY SELL THEIR VOTES
C n heard of the rotten boroughs of the West where
We havo v
been able to buy their way to the United States
f wealthy men have
senate by corrupting legislatures but there is nothing in the politics
R to compare in deadened conscience and corruptS
of all this region
with the record of Adams county Ohio where nearly every
S practice
1 prac selfconfessed taker of a bribe and where 1000 men have
voter is a seu
been indicted for selling their votes
to Wo are told the practice has been so general that no one in that I
part of Ohio felt the least compunction in accepting money for a vote I
J and this condition has prevailed for years
Tho disregard of the principles of American citizenship have been
to challenge belief We have heard of women in this
so flagrant as
state who had no olear conception of the obligations conferred by
the franchise who have offered to servo any party and vote for any
r f person under hire but no Utah man with a sense of pride ever openly
has peddled his vote
i Tho success of the American form of government depends on an
tmpurchasable electorate and it is a source of regret that even one
county Jn all the country should be so corrupted as to prove unworthy
pf a voice in tho government
MINING IN THE ARCTIC
j
The gold miners of Alaska are gradually working north With
placer gold extending further north into the Arctic region the day
I may come when tho miners will bo staking ground withing sight of
the North Pole such is tho persistence of the average prospector
Tho latest discoveries in Alaska arc in the Kobux districts direct
ly north from Nome the streams of which flow into the Arctic
ocean Tho miner is being followed by railroads The Copper River
road is to build north into the Tanana or Fairbanks district There
was a time when Fairbanks was an almost inaccessible camp Now
it is to be brought within a very short ride of the south Alaska I
coast where steamers make regular trips at all times of the year
The gold mining of the Tanana has proved sufficiently exten
Sive to justify the expenditure of millions by the MorganGuggenheim I
interests in extending their road to that part of Alaska
The estimated value of the gold output of the Fairbanks district
in 1910 was 6100000 the value in 1900 was 9650000 This fall
Ing off is duo to the fact that man of the richest placers have been
mined out and that no efoctivo work has been accomplished toward
mining the gravels of lesser value Plans for dredging some of the
shallower creeks have been accomplished Meantime many of the most
enterprising operators have turned their attention to prospecting
auriferous quartz veins Here as in Seward Peninsula there are
very largo bodies of auriferous gravels whose gold content is too low
to per mit its recovery by the methods now in use
There was some scarcity of labor at Fairbanks in the spring
owing to the exodus to the Iditarod and on some of the crocks the
water supply was inadequate These conditions affected the gold
production to a certain extent
It is estimated that about 130 placer mines were operated in
the Fairbanks district during 1910 j this is a falling off of over 50
per cent from the average of previous years As the gold production
has declined only about 35 per cent the output per mine has in
creased An average of about 1200 men were employed in this pro
duction through the year Among the new developments were the
operations on Fish Creek where little mining had boen done pre
viously Tho pay streak on Goldstream Creek was also traced farther
downstream
THOS D DEE HOSPITAL
The Thomas D Dee Memorial Hospital will be opened to the
public for the first time on Thursday next On January 1 1911
the beautiful building is to be placed in service for the humanitarian
cause to which it is dedicated
Tho erection of this building is one of the most commendable
acts of public service of which wo have knowledge The hospital
is tho best monument that could be built in the
name of ono of the
most prominent citizens of this community as its blessings will be
conferred on thousands of sufferers for years to come
The opening of the hospital is an auspicious occasion that should
Hold the attention of our people

COMMANDER SILTS CASE
The case of Commander Sims of the battleship Minnesota who
according to press reports delivered a distinctly proBritish speech
at a banquet at London Deo 4 is now in the hands of President
Tart
RcarAdmlral Murdock commanding the third division of the
Atlantis fleet to which the Minnesota is attached has made a cable
reply to Secretary Meyers request giving the substance of the com
mandor marks Mr Meyers has I
referred the matter to the presi
dent No inkling of the nature of Admiral Murdocks cablegram
was obtainable at tho navy department
Replying to the welcoming speech of the lord mayor of London
Commander Sims according to the pros dispatches said that speak
ing for himself he believed that if the time ever came when the
British empire was menaced by an external enemy they might count I
on every man 1 every drop of blood every ship and every dollar of
their I
kindred
across the sea
It is noted that
Commander
Sims was careful to say the sent
flout5 he expressed were only his a
own personal views and the point

far
a naval officer can go in publicly declaring
his opinions when they have an international aS1ect

SAN FRANCISCO THE PLACE
The New York Evening Post which
E the exponent of everything that Is
Utiid and stable In he American me
tropolis has been conducting an In
nulry Into the respective merits of
New Orleans and San Francisco as to
their fitness for holding the Panama
Pacific exposition In 1915 Argu
ments have been submitted by Gover
nor Gillett of California and Governor
Sanders of Louisiana Cullfornians
iiave reason to be proud of the show
ing made by their state and the read
log between the Ines Is that the Pa
cific slope is gaining ground every
day and will have the backing of the
real element In New York that counts I
for success i
It appears to be generally conceded
that the Panama canal will mako tho
Pacific coast the new neighbor of the I
seaports of the Atlantic and that the
national celebration that shall mark
the Joining of the worlds two great
est highways of commerce should be
held either In New York or In that
city of the Pacific coast which makes
the strongest bid for It New York
stands asldo In deferenco to her new
er neighbors and while New Orleans
IB regarded as an important way sta
tion It cannot bo classed as tho big
port at the end of the line
Therefore Now York and the cat
are coming to tho opinion that tho
bg fair should be held at the front
date on the Pacific and in the back
yard on the Gulf of Mexico
Governor Gllletts claims made for
California made to tho New York
Pst not forth the claims of San Fran
cluco for the privllese and tho advan
tages that would accrue to the nation
by holding tht fair there while Gov
ernor Sanders merely put In the plea

setting forth why a trip to the Pacific
coast vraa a liberal education to any

San Francisco fair Ho portrayed
tho revelation of national resource
It would be to tho visitor and told or
the many who would linger to develop
tho vast natural wealth of the west to
the resultant good of tho whole na
tion In fact Mr Rich struck the
keynote of tho claims of tho PacIfic
coast In this statement
California is a part of the earth
nhlch every traveler the world over

THE NEW GARDENS OF PARIS

REGULARITIES GLACIER ICE
Some large blocks of the glacier ice
had fallen from above and lay con
veniently for examination While the
walls or the Ice caves which hoc
been cut into this and other glaciers
nnl olwr Ilaclcrs
pretont a perfect smooth continu
ous surface of clear Ice those frag
ments which had fallen from the sur
face exposed to the heat of the sun
wore a seen In the mass whlto and
I opaiuo When tho stick was thrust
Into the mass It broke into nianv
sided lumps of the size of tennis balls
like assorted coal thrown from a sent
to though white Instead of black
These wore glacier noudles grains
or Gletschprkorno of which I wrote
In this column a few weeks ago
TIle structure of tho glacier Ice is
I peculiar to It and Is only mar evi
dent
where the suns rays penetrate
It and melt the less pure ice which
holds together the crystalline nodu
Ics According to Dr J Young Bucha
nan those nodules are manses of the
crystals comparatvely free from min
i eral matter while the water around
them which freezes lCBs readily con
tains mineral Impurities In solution
I The presence of saline matter in so
lotion lowers In pioportlon to Its
amount the freezing point of water
Accordingly although frozen Into one I
solid mass with the
loId wih nodules the ce I
menting Ice melt under tho heat of
the penetrating rays of the sun soon I
er that Is at a low temperature
then do the pure crystalline nodules
allows them to separate I Is owing
to this that the exposed surface of
glacier Ice Is white and surace this
integrated by the superilclal heat and
forming a rough surface on which
ono can safely walk Lake Ice does not
break up In this manner under tho
suns rays but aim It melts retains its
smooth slippery surface It Is form
