DOING PUBLIC A SERVICE
There should and doubtless will be a
ready response to the movement to re
pair the cemetery road. Its disgrace
ful condition constitutes a reproach that
anouid not be tolerated longer than it i
will take to make it so mat team* o <n
pass over It without eodiogering the
ires of those who ride bebind them.
People have been talking of this
question for several yeirs but it b<>s
been pre ml: tod to drag a ong from year
to yrar, justifying tbe ol I saw that
"What is everybody's burners Is no
body's business. " The ladies who hare
taken the matter up nd who will pre
sent it to the or hers of the city have
done a public a service for it goes with
out saving .hat tbe movement whicti
they have started wi.lmeet vithsuc jess.
A dispatch to a Juneau paper from
Denver, Col., says many of those In tho
miners' federation will try to force the
Socialists out of tbe organization. Of
coarse the movement will fail. To be
lieve in suciai sm is not to disqualify a
man as a good citizen or a good work
man. There is no reason why Socialist
should be fjrceO out of any organizat
ion. There are too many men who re
gard all Socialists as irresponsible
agitators because manvofthem are such, j
Jo.quln Miller threatens to leave
California and return to Oregon, which
was bis home for many years in the
long ago, and run for United States
senator, [t Is not chronicled that this
announcement has caused additional
grey hatrs or wrinkles to come to the
oranlum and countenance of Senator
Fulton, Senator Mulkey, H. M. Cake or
any of the other candidates.
Gen. Greely has written a lette.- to J
Go?. Hoggatt In which he denies the
correctness of the account of a Chicago
speech mide by him wherein he was
mIq to have declared la favor of lynch
ing judges in Alaska. Geo. Greely says
he is friendly to those administering
the law in Alaska and requests that
there be publicity given to his denial.
Former Mayor Phelan, of San Frau
sisco, says the graft investigation at
the Bay City will insure good govern
ment for the next 10 years By thji
time, he says, the people will have
forgotten tne !ts?oc and things will be
as Before.

[Original.]
I confess tlmt when I went to Colo
rado to look up rniulug property I illU
not like the term "tenderfoot" that
was applied to me lu common with all
who came from civilized countries. 1
had been an athlete, a soldier and a
mountain climber both In South Amer
ica and Europe. Therefore I did not
see any propriety In the term for me.
1 met some royal good fellows at j
Colorado Springs and soon after my ar
rival there was entertained by a party
at supper. At the table opposite me
sat Mark I'ykoman, who had evident
ly been long ? nough In the couutry to
be entirely careless of It's dress, for,
although from Ids language and his
manners It was easy to see that he
was at least fairly well bred and ed
ucated, lie was dressed in the trousers,
boots and wooleu shirt of the region,
to say nothing of the revolver and car
tridges strapped to ids waist, lie had
a pair of mid gray eyes with Iwshy
brows over them and wore a perpetual
sneering expression on his face. 1
mentioned having climbed the Mntter
boru. in Switzerland, Dykeuian's socet
luteusitled.
"Did you go up tenderfoot style,"
he asked, "with a lot of meii to lioid
you up with a rope and cut yonr steps 1
for you, or did ><?? do It yourself?"
1 confess I was irritated when I re
plied:
"Oh. the Matterhorn Is not to be
climbed like tin e hills about here. It's
a mountain."
"I don't iloubt," he retorted, "that It's
a mountain, and a steep one. I only
doubt yonr ability as a climber."
"I'm going up Pike's peak tomor
row," I said, endeavoring to speak
without a s.V'W or clioler. "I shall
climb it alone."
'THi you know the way?"
"Never was on the mountain lu mv
life."
"And you consider yourself able to
go to tlie top within a reasonable
time':"
"I do."
"Tut, man!" lie snarled. "You're no
climber. You're a tenderfoot."
"I'll bet you." I retorted, losing my j
caution, "that I climb the mountain
alone and In n reasonable time? what
a reasonable time is to be fixed by the '
meinber* of this party, you and I ex
cepted."
"What do you take me for? r><> y..>t
think I'm here to make a sure liet will '
a tenderfoot to get his mouev un
fairly? 1 know n blind lurtn that caii
l>ent you c.n n race."
"Blind?"
"Stone Mind. I'll bet you Slim lie
ean climb to the top of I 'ike's peak
Soulier than you."
"It seems to me," I replied, "a liet
like tlint would be all iu my favor."
??]>o you take the lK?t or take water?"
There was a cold blooded, disagree
able look In the man's contemptuous
glance that Irritated me beyond
measure.
??of eouwe I take the bet. lie who
James must pay the piper. If you
insist In calling tue a tenderfoot, you
must hand out the cost."
It was then arranged that I and a
half dozen others were to start froiu
the base of Pike's peak the next morn
In? and that if? blind man l>eat me to
?lie top I was to lose the bet. The
mono, w as put up, and we broke up to
go to lied.
The next uioruiug we met at uu ap
pointed rendezvous. Dykeman was
there, and a good nap had evidently
taken away his disposition to taunt
me. for lie treated me very civilly. I
vainly endeavored to discover from the
looks of others of the party whether
they considered the contest iu a serl
ous light or uot and made some re
marks to draw them out. but every
man seemed to have bottled himself
upon the subject, and 1 got no satis
faction. The umpire permitted each
person who was to join in the race to
take position wherever he liked, pro
vided lie was iu sight, the umpire and
I lieing in the center. Then at the
tiriug of a revolver we started.
I soon found that I had been put on
the usual route taken by those who
ascended the peak. Why this had been
done I could not imagine, but inferred
that it was to give me every advantage
in order that there should be no war
rant for blame on the part of those
conducting the contest for taking an
unfair advantage of a stranger. Surely
if after having beeu started right I
couldn't beat a blind mau to the sum
mit I deserved the opprobrious epithet
of teuderfoot. One thing my experi
ence in ellmblug did for me? it was
easy for me to detect the natural route
before me. Ouly once or twice did I
delay Iu selecting the best ground to go
over, and not once was I obliged to re
trace my steps. I was in fairly good
couditiou. with a springy step. I knew
I was making good time, and wheu 1
saw the goal a short distance above me
<vas sure I would do the feat Iu as few
hours as any oue could do It.
As I approached the highest point 1
looked up to see If any one was there.
Not a person was in sight. I felt a
thrill of pleasure at having punished
Pykeman for his Incivility and pushed
on till I stood on what I at first thought
was the summit, but glancing aside
saw that 1 needed to go a little higher.
Then for the first time I saw a man
lying asleep on the ground, it was
Dykeman.
Something within me collapsed. 1
went to him and spoke. He didn't hear
me. I woke him up.
"Well," I said, "who won?"
"I've won."
He reached out for his revolver,
which he had laid aside, and I noticed
that he was obliged to feel for It. He
was stone blind.
