EDITORIAL PAGE
For the next few weeks the sun
will shine lu the Skagwav valley on
ly about an hour each day. At 12
o'clock it appears from behind the
mountains down the canal, and in
loss than an hour it has scooted
across the open space and dodged
back of the hills to the west. Long
before the sun appears the sky is
Illuminated by its concealed blase,
giving to the whole valley that rest
ful, mellow light which the build
ers of great theatres are trying to
imitate
The dawn in Skagway is only
rivaled by the caressing twilight.
While yet the valley is lulled in
langurous shadows, a silver streak
crests the mountain ridges to the
east, then golden rays spread
across the skies like the spangled
robe of Phoebus, and Heaven seems
to come down and visit us. Long
the sun lingers behind the hills,
hiding its face, like the prophet of
Khorassan, "until man could bear
its light," and then with an exul
tant bound as If 'twere playing hide
and seek. It crosses Lynn Canal
way to the south and buries Its
laughter in the silvery veil of Bride
mountain.
Then couies the twilight.
Pacific Mining Journal: A new
agreement was made at Butte on
June 28, covering wages for the
next three years and retroactive as
far as the June payroll was concern
ed. The rate is to be $3.50 for mln
ers and $2 "0 for unskilled men,
based on a a average price of cop
per for the month of less than 15
cents; when copper Is from 15 to
1? cents miners are to receive 25
cents Per day over the base rate
and when copper is above 17 cents
they are to have 50 cents per day
over the base rate; the unskilled
men are to receive 25 cents extra
per day when copper is 18 cents
or above for the month. This is an
equitable and reasonable agreement
and means industrial peace in that
important ci?mp until the middle of
1915.

In due time a h ? *e slice of luck
came Tsttenall's a ay. Lord Bollng

way of xett'emont passed on to Tat
terssll his famous racer. Highflier
which became the father of three Der

In eighteen years are said to have won
races to the value of no less than {170.
000. Tattersall built himself a pa la
tlal country residence near Ely. call

Tattersall'* came to be the beadqtiar
ters for the laying of turf wagers
Immense sums were won and lost
there. The Marquis of Hastings lost
more than ?100,000 on one race alone,
and. It Is said, not Infrequently similar
amounts changed bands on "settling
days ' at "Old Tatt's." or "the Corner."
as the place was sometimes called.
All classes of society mingled st
Tattersall's. Dukes and stable bc-yj.
were brothers in the exclfed crowd,
prepared to wager on anything and ,
everything This state of things led ,
to such a scandal that upon The explra ,
tion of the lease the Arm was refused ,
a renewal. In Its new esfiiblfchment
no betting was permitted.
At the modern Tnttersall's some
enormous prices for racers are occa
sionally obtained. Flying Fox Is said
to hare been sold to a French owner
for 37.500 guineas and Ormonde to an
American for 30.000 guineas. Here
also Scepter as a yearling was sold for
a^.000 guineas. La Fleche for 12,000
guineas and Rlalr Athol for only 100
guineas less.- Harper's Weekly.
Some Quaint Hotels.
The hotel that stands out the most
prominently In my recollection Is one
In Iqulque. where, even while you are
sitting at the dining tables, venders
come in from the streets to sell you
food. At this same hotel th?*y have two
charges for baths? 8 shillings If you
Insist upon clean water and abont 4
shillings If you are willing to take a
second turn at the tubi
Another Instance of a quaint hbtel Is
In the town of Africa, In Peru Here
they are using at the present time the
hull of an old American man-of-war,
which was taken Inland by a great
tidal wave many years ago and has
since been fltted up as a hotel and Is
In great demand.? London Auswers.
Everlasting Yeast.
A yeast that Is always ready. In hot
weather or cold. In town or on the
farm, may be had If at each baking Is
saved a small quantity of the bread
sponge before any salt has been used.
To this must be added about oue-half
the same amount of sugar for a pre
servative. I have used the same yeast
In this way for two and one-half years
now. and It is as good as ever. Freez
ing does It no harm. No salt should be
used, if In warm weather It seems to
be without life, try It with a little
flour and water, and It will be all
right Tills makes the finest possible
bread.? National Magazine.
A Problem He Hadn't Solved.
In 1SG5 there went to Paris a young
Belglau named r)e Groof, who was
fully convinced that he had solved the
problem of aerial flight. He did not
succeed In Interesting French experts,
but later In England met with some
encouragement. Finally, In the pres
ence of a large crowd De Groof made
his attempt His machine was attach
ed to a balloon, and after reaching a
height of 4.000 feet he cut himself
loose. The machine fell like a stone
and crashed down upon the rough
pavement of Robert street, Chelsea,
with a sickening thud. De Groof was
dead.? New York Tribune.
The Way They Struck.
A company of Italian laborers en
gaged In the construction of a railway
In Germany had their wages winced.
They said nothing, but during the night
each of the men cut an inch of the end
of his shovel. In reply to the foreman
who took them to task about It on* of
them said. "Not so much pay, not lift
so much earth. So much longer last
work. Italian not fool like German.
Italians not strlkel"? London Mall.
Grant's Graceful Act.
When General Grant was In Japan
the emperor Invited him to cross the
Imperial footbridge near the palace at
Tokyo, across which none bat those of
royal blood had ever passed. General
Grant accepted the Invitation and
walked beside the mikado until they
reached the center of the bridge. Then
he stopped, profoundly saluted the em
peror and said: "Your majesty, I have
come so far to show you that I am not
Insensible to the honor yon would do
me, but I cannot violate your tradi
tions. Let ns return the way we came.*
It was a graceful act gracefully done.
