WILSON AND J Y( KSON
Woodrow Wilson ;-nd Andrew
Jackson alike?
Au elastic imagination enables,
Got. Urne6t Lister to discover a .
resemblance and he Yoked it ou
the anniversary of the br.ttle of
New Orleans. In "unflinching cour
age," be avows, the two uresidential
hlatorj makers aTe as close akin as
a oa-r of peas in a pod.
Shade of "Okl Hickory:"
Imagine the seventh president of '
the United States, in a spirit of
brotherly love, suggesting that
this glorious republic might be
"too proud to fight!!"
lMctuie him, ii you can, iuodul.it
lng bis voice and polishing his rhe
toric and turning the other cheeck
while American rights were
trampled upou and American citi
zens wantonly murdtred ou the
high seas!
Kecaii now gov* '
btrained and long suffering An
dr w Jackson was in 1SH and -lis
lofty uso of soft words in vainly
reasoning with t ie Invading British
Remember the example he set
oa the battlefield anu ia the White
niceties of procedure aud patiently
played the "watchful waiting"
game!
Jacksonian courage!
Give your fancy play and con
ceive that early warrior statesman,
like Woodrow Wilson, countenancin
anarchy on the border and warning
Americana to abandon their pro
perty and flee for thsir lives.
It is all impossible.
As well compare Henry Ford or
William Jennings Bryan to Theo
dore Roosevelt as to see even the
faintest resemblanc in Woodrow
Wilson to Andre-,- Jackson.
Ernest Lister's discovery is as
susceptible of proof r.s Doc Cook's
rouadup of the North Pole. The
governor should read history and
make the acquaintance of demo
cracy's patron saint.—P. I.
U. S. JUDGE FLAYS
HYPHEN AT TRIAL
New York, Jan. IS—An invitation
to "hyphenated citizens' wh'o put
the interests of the native coun
try before those of America, to "get
off the face of the e.irth," was is
sued here by United States Judge
Henry D. Clayton, of Alabama.
Judge Clayton's remarks were
made la addressing the grand
Jury that waa empanelled to resume
the investigation into the activity
of Germaa agents in this country.
"You gentlemen," lie said, "are
entering upon your duties as Am
erican citizens. If any of you have
had the misfortune to be born !n a
foreign country I hope you can
truthfully, say now that you love
America more than the land of
your birth- I have no sympathy

SAYS RIVER OF DOUBT
RISES IN GLACIER
San Francisco, Jan. IS — Tlie
1 River o' Doubt (Dubina), which
Theodore Roosevelt reported he
I found in South America,,, has been
i traced «o its source in the C»r
! diliera G«al (Andes) mountains
j bv two Americans, George and
Stephen Gester . PJ^PerKeJfX* i98uf
j South America.
I They describe it as getting: Its
supply from glaciers and running
for 900 miles from the boundary
be'ween Bolivia and Brazil into the
Medeira river near latitude five.
Pictures taken along its course were
lost they said.
The two engineers reached the
headwaters of the River of Doubt ay
crossing the Andes with pack muka'
from 3-ima, Peru. They had with
them, they said, data oa Roosevelt's
repor' with which to check their
observations.
They said they penetrated the
"fever country," whero Mr. Roose- j
velt was stricken. They wore at- j
tacked by insects and encountered ei*
ormous reptiles and strange animals
in the dense forests through which
they hewed their way wit machetes.
They crossed the mountains, they I
said, at an elevation of 17,500 j
feet. On the descent they en-1
countered glaciers at the 12,000
foot level.

Reliarle news as to the progress
of development work at Horsefly
creok in somewhat difficult to ob
talu. Many stories are lu circula
tion as to pay haying been, found
and even the values are given with
j a precisene-ss that engenders be
lief in 'be storios; but the stories
1 are conflicting and seem to be
more Ju the nature cf guesswork
than an attempt at the relation of
facts.
I There appears to be little doubt,
however, that the men who are in
terested In the new diggings have
the utmost faith in tha outcome of
their work,. and look with cer
tainty upon pay being found. Men
who were among the first to rU3h
I to the creek have returned with
outfits and gone seriously to work
to uncover bedrock, and during the
! past week there has been a con
i stant stream of outfits journeying
i »o the new camp.
> Ou Saturday last Julius Shaffrick,
f Jay Johnson and the "Oregon Kid"
' left for" Horsefly creek to prospeit
L Dawson & Olstn's ground, and on
i Sunday last Lars Olsen left with a
> i hot water thawing pump.
t! Al J'tttes and Tony Tropea went
f down sirrd. \ to commence work
tj on Uyers* claims, and Frank Mor- 1
> [ gan returned to the creek the same
II day.
Dob Roberson and Wilson 're
s turned from Horsefly early in the
r | week, and their reports seem to
r have be n satisfactory to those in
:- ' teresUd with them.
S | There is little doubt that with
s | the outfits now at work on the
r, creok it will be but a short time
r until its value is determined. State
ments put in circulation that pros
pects showing several feet of grav
el which went 6 cents to the pan
seem not to be borno out; but
that lor the work already done the
indications are good all who have
investigated agree.—lditared Pio
