U.V.NKS
Under the mosr propitious condi
tions the town of Neuana, during
the pa.it week was ensued, and
achieved within a lew hours the
promise of a remarkable healthy
grow'h. There is good reason to
expect that jtd future is assured
aa'' that Fairbanks is to have a
neighbor of goodly proportions wit
whoia its relations ari to be of the
grtarest importance. By every rule
of cuiuuioa sense mese relations
juouid be of tho mosr friendly ua
ture, uud r.cne, withj the exception
of a few disgruntledi irresponsibies
would care to see ti'em otherwise.
Unfortunately, however, it cannot
!)0 denied, that there exists an
animosity against Fairbanks jn the
minas of some few residents of the
new tuw n. This bitterness of feel
ing is being given, expr<*s»iou on
every coca&ion, with the evident
hope o' stirring up a, jealousy be
tween the two towns. It is hard
ly lively that it will have much ef
fect, lor the vindictiveocsa and
the- ii.• es;>on.-ib:i;ty o. the detractor
is apparent.
The fact that -N'enma is on the
map Rill be a help to Fairbanks,
rather than, a hindrance, a.s some
of the locai pessimists maintain.
Tne new town caji take away no
thing from this dutric' from which
benetit is derived, end it will af
ford a market for much that is pro
duced tt-re. Nenana it, being built
because of Fairtxuik..-. Had it not
been tor Fairbanks there would
have been no Neivna, for there
would have been. 110 railroad. In
ponderinj: this proa^ition it might
bo well to remember that a. river
does no' usually rise highr than its
source.
Essentially a "government" town,
Neuana should not lack for influ
ence to advance tier interests, but
Urcumstances may arise which
might te shaped to better purpose
tUrou>ih the aid of a friendly neigh
bor. Always that help, to the ex
ient 'Lat Fairbanks can afford it,
will be at the disposal of her new
sister.—Alaska Citizen.

Mr. J. L. MePherson says he
marvels at the wonderful optimism
of Alaskans. Jr is a trait that

the west there were those who
continually knocked and: could
qacte apparently uucontradictory
statistics to chow that the west
would never amount to much. They
averred that the sag<»brusS plains
were only fit for raising ja^kraj>
bits, rattlesnakes and coyotes. But
fortunately others were possessed o
aa optimism which) overcame all
obstacles.
So It has been ai>d is with Al
aska. However, thera is less pess
imism found in Alaska than in most
ne* piaces. It is a w-eed' that
docs act thrive in this northern
country. During the lean years in
Alaska a"bout all the Alaskans had
to play with and keo.> them hang
ing on was their optimism and theft1
belief in theultimate development
of natural resources. Everything
is oa a large scale in Alaska and
they have tajckled }3""e problems

The, Golden
Heart
By BARBARA PHIPPS
There has never been an Invasion of
an enemy's country that the Invader
haa not made willing captives of a
number of the daughters of the region
Invaded. During the war between the
states many a Union soldier wooed and
won »t southern girl whose nntngoulwi
against the Uulon armies was very
bitter. There seems to be something
! In the social relations that defies the
I horrors of war.
Lieutenant Joaquin Molina, a young
i Spanish officer just out of his teens,
was during the last years of the last
century sent with his command to
Cnba. Those were the days when
General TVeyler was attempting to
crush the Cuban revolution by execu
tion and imprisonment, and both he
and Spanish soldiers were hated by the
downtrodden Cubans
lieutenant Molina was encamped
with his regiment near a sugar planta
tion owned by one Leandro Iteyes. The
officers were received at the plantation
with civility, if not cordiality, for
Iteyes did not care to antagonize thom,
though his sympathies were all for
free Cuba. His daughter, Inez, a dark
eyed beauty of seventeen, saw Molina,
and notwithstanding she bated him as
an enemy of her country she fell lit
ouee under the spell of love, a spell
that was mutual, for Molina recipro
cated.
True, the lady did not at once ac

passed from a mere acquaintance to
an acknowledgment of what they felt
for each other. Inez, though she ad
mitted her passion for the young offi
cer, refused to become his betrothed
on the ground that he was engaged in
the work of subjecting her country
men to the yoke of the king of Spain.
He pleaded for her to at least with
hold her decision till the war had end
ed, but she replied that the end of
the war, whatever it might be, would
not alter her decision.
When Molina's regiment was order
ed to Santiago there was a sad parting
between the two, during which Inez
gave way and told her lover that if
Cuba achieved her Independence he
might come back and ask her again.
Encouraged by this, he took one kiss,
fchlch she permitted, and tore himself
away. lie left hor a parting gift—a
little gold heart he wore 011 his watch
chain.
Molina fought at Santiago, and when
the end came he was shipped with his
regiment to Spain. lie asked for leave
in order to viiiit Senorita 11 eyes, but
owing to the terms of the surrender,
was unable to obtain one. Flo nus
obliged to defer seeing her again fur
a final reply to his proposition till he
had gone to Spain. Then. If neces
sary, he would resign his commission
in order to seek her.
When Lieutenant Molina reached
Madrid he found It Impossible to ob
tain a leave to return to America. lie
would have resigned Ids commission
In order to go und claim Inez, but his
mother dissuaded him.
"What!" she said. "Will you cross
the Atlantic to claim a girl you are
not sure of? If you resign from the
army what career have you? And yon
will not find It pleasant to live cm the
Income furnished by your wife's fa
ther."
Aiuiuiti was iuus persiiaucu 10 put on
the matter so uear his heart from day
to day, till at last, having thought less
and less of it, he drifted awa.v from it
altogether. was tlirowu In with
girls at home who desired the atten
tions of a young soldier who had been
through the last struggle to preserve
Cuba for Spaic. In a few years he
married one of them, and his Cuban
romance was looked upon thereafter
as a pleasant dream.
Fifteen years passed. Molina had in
the meantime resigned from the army
and had been elected a member of the
cortes. Ten years after his marriage
his wife died and left him a widower
without children. Fourteen years
after the close Of the Spanish-Ameri
can war he was appointed to a promi
nent place in the Spanish legation at
Washington. While there he was one
night attending a reception of the
president and was introduced to a
lady of middle age who, though a na
tive of tropical America, where worn- <

but saw at once that there was Span
