Conquering Alaska By Motor
T MOTOR TRUCK blazing a trail through Alaska to within two degrees of
the arctic circle, fording glacial streams, skimming quicksands, finding
a way through canyons and crevasses with walls of ice 1000 feet high,
crossing icy mountains by steep trails and passes never used before, blasting a
road through boulders and forests makes a story that Kipling ought to tell to
get the vivid faets into the human mind. The facts are so new and powerful an5
vivid they make a story that takes the breath away, just to enumerate -them.
The only difficulty the, engineers missed was that their engines did net
heat up.
An ordinary army motor truck driven by a group of American engineers made
the trip partly to demonstrate', the possibility of using motor trucks in Alaska,
partly to find a shorter route to reach the large interior towns, and partly to
show the Alaska board of road commissioners what could be done in making a
traiL
Transportation has always been one of the greatest problems of the Yukon
country. With short seasons, glacial washouts, slides'- of ice on cliffs, high
mountains, swollen roaring rivers, deep snows, long, heavy rains, and quicksands,
Alaska has road problems as vast as her treasures of gold.
The motor went with only ordinary equipment, except that it carried road
tools and more fuel than usual, and also mail sacks; it brought letters to some
places where none had gone for more than a year.
Altogether the adventure was a brilliant success and very hopeful for Alaska
that the worst of her winter's imprisonment with snow and ice and cold can com
paratively easily be eased up.
o
The worst of the Thaw business is that it interests so many people in every
town and all because a. degenerate has enough money to hire a multitude of
lawyers to dispute the law for an indefinite time. If it keeps on the rest of the
young man's life, this hiring lawyers to fight every moment for his release, inas
much as lawyers are most brilliant and always turning over a new side to affairs,
the mud is not likely to settle for a generation.
Studying the
CHICAGO purposes to make a census to find all worthy unfortunates, to count
and sort out all of its beggars, to get a new hold on the charities problems,
and to see what can be done about it. The United Charities of the city re
ported that one person out of every seven in the city had been helped in the last
year an enormous percentage, and highly expensive for it follows to reason that
the other six are supporting the one.
All of the big cities have special trouble with professional beggars, cripples
on the street who whine for pennies to be dropped in their tin cups, but who have
bank accounts and automobiles on the other side of town.
El Paso, thanks largely to the Woman's Charity and also to the cooperation
of all the other civic bodies, churches, lodges, and private citizens, has very little
trouble with the professional beggars, but the charity problems are as big as tha
city. An enumeration of those who in any one week or month receive aid, and a
complete classification, might indicate the surest was to give relief, and suggest
ways to prevent in some degree, the troubles, or at least to reduce them.
Of the great causes of poverty and distress in our town, tuberculosis, which
is so vastly ameliorated by scientific care and which so needs to be safeguarded
to keep it from killing all about it, is perhaps the most common. Then the fact
that many babies in the city have only half a chance to live; the difficulty of get
ting a proper spirit and place for delinquent girls; the fact that hosts of Mex
icans young and qld have splendid workvmaterial in them, splendid skill of eye and
finger, but no training all these are factors in the problem. f
A western bank advertised, "We make the interest of our depositors, our
interest.'' T&at is a new way of compounding.
China and the Vampires-
THE UNCHANGING desire on the part of European powers to partition off
China, to the ultimate commercial and political suppression of the yellow
empire, has always been met by a contrary effort on the part of the
United States to maintain the integrity of China partly out of world conscience,
and partly because the partition of China into the proposed five spheres of in
fluence with the revenues controled by five great foreign powers would practically
exclude our country from participation in the Chinese markets.
The Boxers rose in fury and killed all foreigners to keep China for the
Chinese, but the plans in the chancellories of Europe went right on for the division
of China as Africa has been divided. The powers were in nowise disturbed by the
anger of the Chinese peasants.
John Hay stood for "China for the Chinese" but John Hay is dead and no
secretary since has kept so complete an acquaintance with Europe's desires or so
firm a hold on a place as a sixth member of the world's congress of powers.
Five powers hold the Chinese loan and control Chinese finances and revenue,
and when they divide China into five spheres of influence, the iope'of the old
empire to hold its own and be itself and have a government of the Chinese for
the Chinese, must grow dim.
The. Philadelphia Public Ledger calculates that a girl costs 14.3 cents in New
York because when the Triangle Waist company there burned out with its safety
doors all locked right, 140 girls were killed and a member of the firm was fined $20.
Do People Really
CLEMENT SHORTER writing in the 'London Sphere asks the question which
many are asking, "Whether there is the same love of literature now as
when I was young." Why do folks never discuss Browning or Tennyson
or Shakspere or Balzac or Swinburne? he inquired. Have the magazines a monopoly
on our reading time these days, or is life too hurried for deeper thou0ht than one
popular novel every three months, or are we so greedy to make and spend money
we have no leisure? What is the matter that enough people do not read gooiJ
books to make ordinary talk at dinner tables interesting? Do young men never
know poetry to iell the young women, and do young women never flush and love
and hate with the romances, as of yore? Where are the books, the much usel
books, that used to be considered only a decent showing in any family of means
or standing? Mr. Shorter is short of information on these points, and asks to
know.

Will-Not Cut Living Cost
Maurice Schwarx Says Manufactur
ers Will Add Tariff Reductions to
Usual Price Little Interviews.

SCAR UNDERWOOD'S tariff

cost of living." Maurice Schwartz, of
cost of Jiving." Maurice Schwartz, of
schedule provides for a lower tariff on
these articles, but the manufacturers
will simply add tne difference to the
price of their goods and the ultimate
consumer will nav the freigftt. This
Is what has been donje in the past and Is
what will happen when these sched
ules are" understood. But there is one
good thing that will develop out of the
tariff reduction. By adding the amount
of the tariff reduction to the cost of tho
goods, the manufacturers will be ablo
to produce a better Quality of croods
for the mbney than they have In the
past. When thev add the amount of
the tariff, reduction thev "will try to
compete against each other for the
trade and will be forced by the stimu
lated competition to make a better
article in order to sell to the best ad
vantage. We will not profit by the
tariff reductions, as it will be the orig
inal manufacturers who will get, tha
benefit of It and we will have to add
the increased price to our carments
when we sell them to the public"
.
"What effect will the new tariff have
upon, the sale of silk stockings In El
Paso? Why. it will just double the
sale." said Jake Miller, of the Whit
House. "Prohibition on any article al
ways means the increased sale of that
article. The higher the price the more
demand there will be for silk stockings.
You watch. The makers of the tariff
did not realize that there are quite as
many poor people wearing silk stock
ings nowadays as there are worn by
the rich. "The raised price may prevent
these from wearing silk hosiery, but It
will not: affect the sale. Everyone re
alizes that the tariff was made to give
certain manufacturers the chance to
sell their silk stockings at just about
their own price."
"The -best wav to get religion into
a bdv is to do it without his knowl
edge." says Rev. Kenneth Brown. "That
is the reason I believe in a church
doing settlement work. Through our
gymnasium In the church building, we
are attracting more of the young peo
ple in our district than anv other wav.
I had a father say to me recently. "You
are getting both religion and morals
into my boys and they don't know it.
They simply think Its fun to to to
the gym. but It is also getting them
to stay to prayer meetings."
"From now on." says D. F. Whie. ot
the White Commission company, "cat
tle will be on the move. But up ut-til
the tariff bill was signed 3tock was
almost at a standstill. Cattlemen were
all ud in the air as to what move they
had best make, consequently no doals
were closed. The buver was at a
standstill, the speculator was afraid to
move and the seller was waiting to see
whether or not the- tariff would have
anv effect on prices."
. When asked If he thought the tariff
would have anv effect on nrlces. he
said that it absolutely would not.
"However." he added. "It will have
this effect: More cattle will be sold
and consequently' money alone this lln

O," SAID Grace, I can't do
that, but mother is acting
so Peculiarly lately, we must
do something, or "
She placed the ring back on her fin
ger again, and with Sidney returned
to the party.
And Stephen still had his quarter!
'Jackson Ives was announced. Ives
was a thorough man of the world.
Suave, polished, well groomed and 40.
He had made the acquaintance of Ste
phen, and in three weeks it had ripened
into friendship. Very little was
known of him, beyond the fact that
they had several business talks to
gether. After the usual salutations, Ives no
ticed the despondent note In Baird's
voice. Re had been waiting for this
opportunity. Stephen could no longer
withhold the truth. He explained his
financial condition reluctantly, told
how he had come to the end of his
rope, and had remained away from
his clubs and deserted all of his
friends, save Welch.
"I knew It." said Ives. "In fact I've
known it all along, but I wanted to
hear it from you. I've watched and
studied you, my boy."
Stephen then told him about the
mine transaction.
"I'm going to make you a proposi
tion," said Ives, "and whether "you ac
cept It or not. I want you to promise
that It shall go no farther."
Stephen agreed.
"You are going to pay that note and
you won't lose your mine. I'm going
to buy 20,000 shares of your stock."
He placed the 20 $1000 bills on the
table. Stephen was so amazed that he
could hardly speak above a whisper.
"But I don't understand?' said Ste
phen. "This, is like well, I don't know
what to say, Mr. Ives, but If you ever
need help, ever want anyone to go
through with you. I want you to prom
ise to give me the first chance."
"That's all right," said Ives. 'Tm
going to see how far you will go. Sup
pose I were to tell you that money was
counterfeit!"
Stephen quickly -placed the money
back on the table. "I knew It couldn't
be true it was too much to expect."
."Wait." said Ives. "This money Is
superior to the government's. I've
spent years In England. France Ger
many and other countries. I've done
nothing for the past 20 years but think,
study, read-and write money. If you've
got money, you don't need to spend it;
all you have to do Is show it. Money
makes money and you can't get it
without it. Do you know what a new
suit of clothes gets you? A pleasant
smile. People can see a thousand dol
lar bill farther than anything else of
Its size In the world!"
Stephen gasped at the man's au
dacity and marveled at his convincing
arguments. But it was all true. '
"Now, look here." continued Ives.
"You have youth, manners, desirable
friends, and would never be sus
pected. If your friends knew you had
all this money, they would fall all, over
themselves trying to buv your stock."
"What would the authorities do if
they found out?" asked Stephen.
ineyve got to get you witn me
goods." replied Ives. "If they found
the mopev on me It would mean 20
years, and with ytfu In on the deal 10
years."
Stephen moved "further away from
the crisp new bills.
"But they won't," continued Ives.
"They've been after me for 10 years
now. but they'll never get me." Ives
took a" telegraph blank from the desk
and asked: "What's Reardon's first
name?'
"Mike," answered Stephen. Then he
read the following telegram:
"Mike Reardon. Mansion Rouse. Gal
lup. Ariz. Double force of men. Work

note I own the mine.
fSJgned). "Stephen Balrd."
"But I haven't paid the note and I
don't own the mine," Stephen argued.
"Do you know what that Irishman will
do? He'll work His head off."
"And Isn't that iust what you want."
answered Ives. Do you know what
encouragement means to a man? If he
thinks the note is paid and you do own
the mine, he will work harder the last
two days, and If he does discover gold,
that's all you need " .
They -were interrupted; Dy weicn ma
his friends, who came to fetch him
for the banquet. Welch brought one
of the little favors he had distributed
omonc his guests. Seeing Stephen so
disconsolate he told the boys he was
going to invest S1000 in Skyrocket,
They all laughed at him. hut Welch
had his father's check for 510.000, and
was too unselfish to be so hapny on
New Year's and see Stephen so discon
solate. "I'd give you the money now." saao
Welch, "but I only have this check
and I can't cash it tonight."
"I can." said Stephen quietly. Tha
boys laughed and in one voice told him
how much they wished
Stephen had taken a roll of $50,000
In new bills from his pocket.
"My God, look!" said .Sydney. "I
know. boys. Steve's struck gold. His
mine Is all right." Whereupon they all
nil rushel towards Stephen with their
New Year's checks and bought stock In
the Skyrocket, as the clock struck 12.
Jf- -
The next morning Stephen was be
sieged with telegrams from friends,
acquaintances and people he had never
heard of. Thev all wanted to buv Sky
rocket. Even Mrs. Tyler was solicitous
about his health. Mr. Tyler had In
vested $10,000 In" the mine. The girls
Grace and Ida and Margery Elliott
all had brought their savings to Invest
In the Arizona gold mine.
But Stephen only had his ouarter. He
could not spend the counterfeit money,
nor was he able to cash the checks.
In fact he was beginning to feel guiltv
about inveigling his friends Into this
deal, without explaining, but they
would not listen to any explanations
They had seen the money, and thatvwas
convincing enough.
Mr. Morgan paid him a visit to loan
Stephen the S300. This was sent Imme
diately to Reardon In Arizona, fol
lowed by a wire telling the foremen
that the amount was to be used for
ba-k salaries. . ,
And Stephen still had the quarter!

OSE of the first lessons to be learned in wood work is how to use a
ruler. Most people think they know how; but it is astonishing to
find how inaccurate all beginners are, how hard it is to be exact. The
normal school teacher in training his class will explain that it is at just this
point that one of the great benefits of manual work lies. Tha boy who is an
eighth of an inch, or even a 16th of an inch, off in any measurement, will
make a botch of his job. After he has learned this fact in the work of his
hands, it will come to him that he should also be exact in his thinking, exact
in his speech, and when that is accomplished, he is on the high road to success.
May the best come to the El Paso boys and girls who celebrate their birth
on this day! They are:
George Fisher, 11. Ida Emery, 11.

War's alarms in Juarez did not prevent little Emily Huntington from
celebrating yesterday at" her home in the Mexican town across the river. She
was 8 years old.
By calling on Miss Birthday at The Herald office each one of these boys
and girls can secure a ticket to the Crawford theater, good, for any evening
or the Saturday matinee." This is the way The Herald is extending its con
gratulations. The attraction this week is "The Flirting Prineess."
