EDITORIAL PAGE
The report that John Troy hu
arrived In Juneau and will take the
managing tditorship of the Daily
Kmplre, will be r?c*lved by the Al
aska press with pleasure. It may
be only a rumor, but It la a rumor
that sounds good to northerners.
John has lived outside of Alaska for
several years, that Is. he was out
?lde in the flesh, but his heart has
always been here, and we don't care
much for ihe flesh up hero, if a
man's heait Is In the right place.
There is every promise of another
stampede iulo the north. The same
man who discovered the Klondyke ?
Skookum Jim ? has located claims
In the Teslin country and Is bring
ing up his frienils from Seattle to
locate ground in the new fields.
The first reports went out from Se
attle that the Teslin counry could be
best reached by going up the Stlklne
river, which of course was a mistake.
The easiest and nearest route to
the new discovery is via Skagway.
From here there Is a railroad and
stage trail to Atlln and from there
It is a hundred and fifty miles to th
lower end of Teslin lake. After
the rivers open, a boat may be tak
en at Whitehorse and passengers
landed at the lake via the Hootalln
qua river, which is but sixty miles
from the strike. Therefore take
the Skagway route.
Another ault to oust Illegal entry
mea oil lands Id Kern county, Cal
has been filed by the government in
the federal court at Loa Angeles.
Cal. The action involves one hun
dred and sixty acres of land valued
at five hundred thousand dollars
Chief among twenty-five defendants
uamed in the suit are the Consoli
dated Midway Oil Company, the
National Pacific OU Company, and
the Standard Oil Company. The
government alleges that despite the
presidential order of 9ept. 87, 1909,
by which the land was withdrawn
from entry, the defendants have
continued to operate on the proper
ly. "
The United States district court
has denied to owners of patents the
right to fix the price for the resale
of their patented articles. Judge
Ray, who rendered the decision,
held that the jobber or dealer who
asaonts to fix prices as demanded
by the patentee and manufacturer
becomes a party to an Illegal com
bination In restraint of trade. The
action was brought by the Waltham
Watch Company against a New York
jeweler, to restrain the defendant
for selling for less than a fixed
price watch movements patented,
manufactured, and sold by the Wal
tham Company.
t EARNING DOES MUCH FOR THE COLLEGE GOING YOUNG MAN
AND WOMAN, BUT IT DOE8NT SEEM TO MAKE THEM
, PLEASANTER TO TALK WITH THAN THEIR ELDERS OF
MUCH LESS EDUCATION? NOT. AT LEAST, UNTIL THEY
GET OLDER.
Many young people who grow 'Hike a forest oak ? by neglect" ?
?re as well off conversationally, so far as the sentiment iu their dia
logue is concerned. Those adults who have to depend at all upon col
lege bred youth for their conversational society feel A VOID like
that of a dairy farm deprived of its cows, with only the calves left
Much of the vociferous talk of college students is directed indis
criminately against their instructors, men whose mere acquaintance is
a liberal education ? men who, along with everything else admirable,
have in them several sorts of superiority besides that of having been
college students.
Undergraduates are sometimes phraseologists and CATCH
WORD FIENDS. Their talk often consists of ibe pettiest sort of
jokelets or pretty speeches, which make very sickly conversation.
More often it is college son g nonsense, tiresomely reiterated and car
ried to the point of buffoonery. THEY ARE SPLENDID BAB
BLERS AND W AGGERS," BUT CONVERSATIONALISTS?
NEVER!
These youthful conversationalists talk so much without reflection
that they seem to have LOST THE POWER OF REFLECTION.
Dangers of Flying Growing
Less and Less
4 ? By GUNN CURT15S, Aviator ? 9
OF course it ?ould be folly, in view of the list of accidents, fa
tal and otherwise, that the newspapers print and reprint ev
ery time & noted aviator falls, to assert that there is no dan
ger in flying.
I doubt if the American man, especially the American youug
man, would take to the aeroplane so enthusiastically if the sport were
as SAFE AS PARLOR CROQUET.
NEVERTHELESS THE DANGERS OF FLIGHT ARE GPOWING
LESS AND LESS EVERY YEAR AS THE MACHINE 18 IMPROVED
AND AS THE AVIATOR BECOMES MORE SKILLFUL AND MORE EX
PERIENCED IN AIR CONDITIONS.
The report of the French government for 1911 shows that there
has been ONLY OXE-TENTH AS MANY FATAL ACCI
DENTS in proportion to the number of flights made as in the first
