Dr. C. W. McFadden, a well-known
Duluth dentist, has just arrived with
his family and household goods and
will reside upon his ranch on Bear
creek just northeast of Talent.

Fatalities to Railroad Trespassers.
To explain or place the responsi
bility for American railway accidents
it is desirable to consider not only
the extraordinary totals, but sepa
rately the various classes into which
the casualties are grouped. Every
day 14 people in the United States
are killed while trespassing, but this
is through no fault of tho railways,
whose right of way is not a highway,
but private property, subject to the
same rules and protection as the
property of an individual.
In the 20 years from 1890-1909,
inclusive, fatalities to trespassers
constituted 53.09 per cent of all the
United States. In this period 163,-
171 persons were killed, of whom
86,733 were trespassers, nor has the
situation shown any improvement,
as the 1912 statistics quoted above
show, since they form 52 per cent of
the total fatalities of that year.
In Chicago, where track elevation
has proceeded at a cost of 170,000,-.
000 to the present time, trespassing
in violation of the law takes place
on the elevated structures to such a
degree that the railways have to
maintain a special police service. In
their efforts here, and it is true at
other places also, they do not receive
the support of the magistrates, for
in one. three months' period of 339
arrests but 67 were punished. From

Herbert T. Wade in Review of Re
views.

Production and Importation of
Graphite.
Natural graphite is the product of
different geologic agencies, mostly
related to the heat of the molten
magma which, during periods of con
vulsion, has penetrated tho overlying
rock strata from the earth's interior.
It has two forms crystalline, or, as
it is konwn to the trade, "flake"
graphite, which occurs as small
flakes disseminated through crystal
line schists, and amorphous graphite,
which has no grain or structure.
Coal beds in some places have been
turned into graphite by the confined
heat of intruded molten rock, and
this natural phenomenon may have
suggested the feasibility of manufac
turing artificial amorphous graphite,
an Industry which of late years has
become of considerable importance
in the United States. Importations
of graphite, however, largely exceed
domestic production, the figures for
1912, according to the United States
Geological Survey, being for the im
ports 25,643 short tons, valued at
$1,709,337, and for the domestic
output 2,445 tons of natu-al graph
ite, valued at $207,033, and ,448
tons of manufactured graphite, val
ued at $830,193. The Island of Cey
lon is the greatest contributor to
American imports of graphite.
Graphite is a mineral of great and
increasing industrial importance and
has many uses, though tho graphite
from any one source or mine is not
adapted to all these uses. One ot
the oldest and most important ap
plications of graphite is in the man
ufacture of crucibles for use in the
steel, brass and bronze, and other
industries. Such crucibles must have
good tensile strength and for their
manufacture a fibrous or flaky
graphite is used, the interlocking of
the fibers adding to tho strength.
Ground Ceylon lump granhite is the
material most In favor in the United
States for making crucibles, although
small amounts of American flake
graphite are also used. Amorphous
graphite has never been successfully
utilized in crucible manufacture, ex
cept for very small crucibles.
The United States Geological Sur
vey has just published, as an ad
vance chapter from Mineral Re
sources for 1912, a report on the
graphite Industry in the United
States by Edson S. Bastin, which
also includes figures of importations
into this country as well as statistics
covering other graphite producing
countries.
A copy of the report on graphite
may be obtained free on application
to the Director of the Geological Sur
vey, Washington, D. C.
Modern Rifle Wounds.
Wounding an enemy in war Is bet
ter than killing him, says Popular
Mechanics. Unless he is captured it
imposes on his side the burden of
taking care of him. The Balkan war
has again proven that tho bullet of
the modern high-power rifle, with Its
terrific speed, will go straight
throught through a man, penetrating
the most vital organs, without kill
ing him; and it has even been found
to go through from four to six men,
one behind the other. This puts
them out of the fight, but at the
same time it is a good thing for. the
fighter, for it gives him a far better
chance for his life.

Objections to New Expressions.
Always, indeed. In the nistory of
every tongue men have insisted on
maintaining a firm stand against the
entrance Into it of new expressions
of any sort. In so doing they have
honestly believed that they were act
uated not by a senseless but a holy
real for purity of speech. The
strongest sort of opposition has been
frequently offered to the recognition
of words which it would now seem to
us we could hardly do without. The
feeling existed in high places. In
1713 the fourth edition of Johnson's
dictionary was published. It was the
last edition which appeared under
his own supervision. Boswell tells
us that he In vain urged Johnson to
insert civilization. This was just
then beginning to take the place of
civility in the sense of being opposed
to barbarism. He refused to ac
knowledge the intruder. ' Humiliat
ing he admitted to be a word fre
quently used, but he did not know
it to be legitimate English whatev
er that means. So, though he in
serted the noun humiliation, the cor
responding verb and adjection are
not found in his final revised edi
tion. Not long after this time de
velopment appeared In the title of
the book. Its author was sternly
Informed by one of his reviewers
that there was no such word in the
language. William Taylor of Nor
wich, somewhat renowned for the pe
culiar words which he used in his
writings, sent an article to the
Monthly Review in which occurred
the verb rehabilitate. It was at
once struck out by the editor. It
was not English, Taylor was in
formed, and would not have been
understood. It may be said in palli
ation if not defense of this action
that it was not until the latter half
of the nineteenth century that the
word became well known, especially
in the senes of whitewashing ques
tionable characters. Thomas R.
Lounsbury, in Harper'B Magazine.
Long Life in Cities.
New York Tribune: Life is long
er in the German cities than in the
small towns. This is the discovery
announced by the German statistical
bureau, which has publisned figures
showing that 646 persons in each
1,000 in cities of more than 100,000
Inhabitants reach the age of 50, com
pared with 539 reaching the same
age in cities between 20,000 and
100,000 and 544 in towns of fewer
than 20,000 inhabitants.
"These figures pay a remarkable
tribute to German efficiency," said
Professor A. Fraenkel, director of
the municipal hospital of Berlin.
"We believe that speed In the cit
ies tends to shorten life, but it helps
to cure our other evils. We believe
that one of the principal reasons for
life being longer in cities Is that
medical attention Is prompt and ex
pert at the same time. In small
towns there are fewer physicians
and hospitals, and often a patient
dies when efficiency might have
saved his life.
"Another great reason for longer
life is the success of the recent cam
paign aimed at saving babies in the
large cities through giving free in
struction and assistance to mothers
in the care of infants and providing
pure milk, free nurseries and sup
plies. '
"This is a difficult matter in the
smaller cities because of the lack of
organization. The result Is that 39
more babies In every 1,000 live
through the first year than was the
case 10 years ago."
Three High Mountains.
Mount Mitchell Is the most lofty
mountain In the eastern part of the
United States. It is located In Yan

cal Survey is 6,711 feet above sea
level. -There are two other moun
tains in the Appalachian system
above 6,000 feet Mount Guyot, in
Tennessee, 6,636 feet, and Mount
Washington, in Nw Hampshire,

EDITOR ISJOVERNOR
Major Strong, NewspaKr Man, Ap
pointed to be Territorial Gov
' emor 'of Alaska.
Washington, April 17. Major J. J
F. A. Strong of Juneau has been se
lected for appointment as governor
of Alaska, to succeed Walter E.
Clark, resigned. Major Strong's ap
pointment will be sent to the senate
at once. ,
Major Strong is the editor and
publisher of the Alaska Daily Enter
prise, at Juneau. He has been a
resident of Alaska for 14 years and
formerly published newspapers in
Fairbanks fxni Nome. For many
years he was a newspaper man in
California and Washington. For ap
pointment as governor of the terri
tory he was Indorsed by practically
the entire territorial legislature and
many citizens.
"This is the first of the territorial
gubernatorial appointments to be
made," said Secretary Lane. "It Is
in conformity with the policy I have
adopted to appoint no man, what
ever may be his qualifications or per
sonal and political influence, to any
office In the territories who is not a
bona fide resident of the territory
in which he seeks office. In addi
tion to this requirement I have de-1
elded not to appoint any man to Im
portant office anywhere whom I do
not know personally. To that end
I am sending for all applicants for
office with whom I am not acquaint
ed in order that I may have oppor
tunity to look them over."
Coffin 1,500 Years Old.
Japan Weekly Chronicle; There
is an Inaii shrine in the town ot
Okushi, Ibaraki prefecture, in the
compound of which some building
operations are going on. The labor
ers engaged in leveling the ground
were digging the other day when
they unearthed a large stone coffin.
The news was immediately com
municated to the chief priest, who
sent for the head man of the village.
In his presence the cover of the stone
coffin was taken off, and inside were
found many gold rings and other
treasures, such as kudatama, magat
aina and other ancient vessels. Judg
ing from the construction of the cof
fin, it is 1,500 years old. News of
the discovery was forwarded to the
local government office, and an of
ficial was sent to examine the arti
cles found.
The shrine Itself is a very ancient
one, and in it Kuralne-tama-no-ml-koto
Is deified. It was for a while
removed from the village bv the com
mand of Mltsukuni Tokugawa, lord
of Mito, but in 1702 it was taken
back to its former site. Some earth
was taken from the. compound of the
great Inarl shrine at Yamashiro,
Kyoto, and placed under the main
building of this shrine with formal
ceremony. Since then it had been
customary for tho Daimyo of Mito to
bear the expense for repairs to the
shrine, and one of his retainers was
always sent as a special messenger
at festival times.
Two of Them.
London Tit-Bits: This story was
told recently at one of the service
clubs: One or two subalterns were
dining together at a restaurant one
night, and the conversation became
a discussion on lies and lying gen
erally, and finally there was a warm
debate as to who was tho biggest
liar known to them. An old gentle
man sitting at a table near was un
able to avoid hearing the discussion,
and after a few minutes he arose and
came over to their table.
"I have just heard you decide,
Eentlemen." he said gravely, "that
Lieutenant Arthur Blank Is the big
gest liar you have ever met. I am
his father."
After a few seconds embarrassed
silence one of the young officers be
gan to stammer apologies, but the
old gentleman waved them aside.
"No, no," he said; "don't apolo
gize; It's quite unnecessary. I was
only going to say that if you regard
my son Arthur as the biggest liar
you have ever met, you cannot poBSi
bly have met my other son, Rich
ard." A red paint has been recently de
vised which changes its color to
black when subjected to heat.
