£>ALLARAT Australia

I'll IT ELBOURXE, Victoria, Australia—iVl When I was a young fellow I re- “*■ member seeing—anil reading—a very popular brand of fiction story in those days, a yellow-backed, hair-raising type of story which purported to depict life in the Australian gold mining camps. I remember, tco, a many-stanzaed poem along the same order, a lilting, thrilling thing that announced at the very beginning that what followed was a tale of “Ballarat and Bendigo.” I felt something of the samt thrill when the train from Melbourne slowed down after a seventy-five mile Journey and I discovered that I was at last in Ballarat. But such a Ballarat from that which had been graven on my boyish mind by the lurid tales of long ago! I stepped from the train Into a. modern station and through the station into the midst of a modern town, with wide streets, goodsized stores, electric street cars, arc lights and automobiles. I confess to a

Left—Of Interest in the history of romantic Ballarat is the monument erected on the spot of the famous battle of the Eureka Stockade. This occurred on a Sunday morning In December, 18?*. The government had tried to tax the miners for licenses to dig and had tried to enforce collection of the tax by using troops who hunted the unlicensed miners down. The miners enraged by these efforts, erected a stockade and raised a flag to proclaim “the republic of Victoria.” After a bloody battle, in which forty miners were killed, the troops captured the stockade and the miners were routed. However, the miners won, as shortly after this the obnoxious fee was repealed.

feeling of disappointment, although I had known all along that X should find little, if any, of the old Ballarat left. BI T THEY DO HEAR TALES OF EARLY DAYS. But we were destined to a treat later on. It had been raining and it was with faint hope that we would be able to get any pictures that we had the motor car driver take us to what is known locally as the “Lookout.” In reality the pinnacle o fan old heap of tailings from one of the mines which once had produced tons of gold. And there, huddled in a corner of the little concrete shelter from which you may gaze over a wide expanse of country, we found him a little. wizened old man with chit, whiskers and weak eyes which he kept wiping. When we surprised him he was peering through an ancient telescope toward the land far below us. acres upon acres of ground that a half century ago had been turned up by the shovels of the golil-mad thousands who swarmed into Ballarat following the discovery in 1851 of the first gold in Victoria. In New South Wales gold already had been found—by a miner who had joined otir own rush of 1849 to the California diggings, and, failing there, had recalled that the country's formation around his own Australian home jvas a great deal like the gold fields of Rhe Pacific coast and hastened back - to go prospecting. The discovery of gold in New South Wales threatened to depopulate the struggling colony of Victoria and its officials offered a reward of SBOO to the first person to find gold in Victoria. It was at Ballarat that the reward was claimed, for only a few yards from the trail over which countless numbers of feet had trainped on the way west from Melbourne a nugget was picked up and several others found. Communication was not easy in those days, but the news spread like wildfire and within a few months Ballarat was the scene of a boom that made it famous. “They came here thousands upon thousands.” said the little old man when he was launched upon a story by a few questions. “On a Saturday night I've seen the streets so thick with redshirted miners that you had to fight a way through them. And the saloons and the gambling houses and the dance halls were next door to each other, they were that thick. I was Just coming into me own then, a buckaroo of a lad and my back was as strong as any of them in those days. I shoveled many a ton of the dirt over down there," he waved a hand at the view below us, “and I made me find, too, but it’s all gone now." Had we been wdlling to listen he probably could have kept up his tale for hours without end, tales that compared favorably with those of the novels I recalled. But we pressed a coin into his hand and came away after taking his picture and left him as we had found him—peeping through his absurd tele-

In the boom days of gold mining the United States furnished hundreds of the motley crew of rough and tumble men who flocked to Ballarat in search of fortune. Many of thejt quit the California fields, lured on by the prospect of even richer finds in Australia. It took them two to three months to cress the sea between California and Melbourne in the slow-sailing ships of those days, and when they reached Port Phillip It was to find it virtually deserted. Officials, judges, lawyers, doctors, shopkeepers, clerks and ail of the police force but two had quit their jobs overnight to join the rush to Ballarat and later to Bendigo and Ararat and a score of other lessknown places where strikes were made. S me idea of the influx of people may be gathered from the fact that in the year

Right— Here Is one of the old mines,near Ballarat. Several years ago the cost of mining had Increased so greatly, the veins no longer ran rich and wide, and gradually one mine after another began to close down until most of them had quit work. Today you will find only ghostly mounds of refuse, rusty iron, rotting timbers, where the mines once were a beehive of activity. Luckily these mining centers were surrounded by some of the finest farming centers In the commonwealrh. As their mineral resources were exhausted the more permanent wealth of the soil was developed. Ballarat is no longer a mining center, but is a proud, prosperous modem city whose commercial stability is mainly based upon dairying, general farming and manufacturing.

before gold was found at Ballarat the population of Victoria was slightly more than 76,000. Six years later it was 463,000. The problem of feeding this mob was a serious one because the farmers had joined the rush, too, but finally they found that feeding diggers at Sabulous prices was more profitable than digging on a chance of striking gold, and business was resumed. Before they finally played out. the gold fields of Victoria, both alluvial and quartz, had yielded up treasure valued at $1,500,000,000. Several years ago the cost of mining had Increased so greatly, the veins no longer ran wide and rich, and gradually one mine after another began to clos“ down until most of them had quit work. Today you will not even find a shafthouse or a derrick around Ballarat. They have been torn down and

And thin Is the main street of Ballarat, wide and well paved, with electric liahts anil street cars, and down its center a parkway which Is studded by monuments, for the Ballarat of today is inclined toward art ami statuary. Quite different from the early 'sos. when red-sliirtcd miners and gamblers and dance-hall girls thronged its street* and the talk was of gold, gold, gold. The gold mine* are shut down now. bat Ballarat ha* gone on progressing, because it is the center of a rich agricultural and pastoral district and its trade and population is steadily increasing.

only ghostly mounds of refuse and earth and quartz mark the spots where the mines once were beehives of activity. At Beud;go, ninety-five miles away, several mines are operating and a few others are still plugging along, but the production of gold in the tate has slipped to 185,000 ounces a year, according to last available figures. There are other minerals to be obtained in the state, but they total only $6,000,000 a year in value. MI ST RECAI.L. FAMOUS BATTLE BACK IN 1854. No story of Ballarat would be complete without a mention of the famous battle of tho Eureka stockade on a Sunday morning in December. 1854. The government had tried to tax the miners for licenses to dig and had tried to enforce collection of the tax by using troops, who hunted the unlicensed diggers down . Victoria was on the verge of $ fair sized rebellion when the miners of Ballarat brought things to a head

In Victoria are to be found the j famous high eucalyptus trees ! o f Australia, some of which j attain a height of 300 feet. To fell j one of these forest monarchy Is a strenuous Job, but Australian woodchoppers are equal to it. They build a small footrest to bring them above the br.tt of the tree, and, standnig on a narrow pole resting on flimsy crosspieces, they make every blow count. Chnpping contests are a feature of every a grirulturul show. In France the Australian woodsmen at-

by erecting a stockade, raising a flag which they proclaimed as that of the ' republic of Victoria and defied the nu- | thorities. Th(p troops captured the i stockade in a brilliant assault which cost ; some forty lives, and the backbone of | the rebellion was broken. But the miners won, because the obnoxious diggers' license tax was repealed. Had Ballarat been like many other cities which began as mining centers and thereafter depended solely upon mining for its existence, it would have fallen to a mere village by now\ But it is the center of a rich farming district in which there is much wheat and many cattle and sheep, so that when mining played out Ballarat calmly went ahead supplying the needs of its agricultural neighbors. Today, with a population of 40,000, it is the largest inland town of the commonwealth and correspondingly important. The bushrangers and outlaws who swarmed into Victoria aud New South

Wales as a result of the gold strikes and the necessity of protecting the shipments of gold from the fields to the cities gave birth to the magnificent Australian police force aud particularly to the mounted police, who have a record that is surpassed only by those of the Royal Northwest Mounted Bailee of Canada and our own Texas State Rangers. Victoria today has 1,500 policemen, or constables : as they are called, to cover her entire 1 territory. Two hundred and fifty of ; them travel lonely beats in the bush ! country, many miles from civilization and they have varied duties to perform. ! the least of which is the capture of crirn- | Inals, for the State is singularly free from I crime, only 209 persons having been con- : rioted for serious offenses during the I last year for which figures are complete.

I The lot of the policeman who patrols a bush territory Is not a happy one. Sometimes he is the only visitor from civilization whom the settlers see from one year's end to another. The terrible loneliness of the bush cannot be fairly , Imagined by those who have not lived lin it. In many places the trees are so i thick that those who live there seem to j exist In a country of perpetual twilight. It is weird and uncanny and it has a depressing effect upon th- bush dwellers, in striking contrast to those who dwell in the mountains or in the plains In perfect content, oven though they have few human associates. Insanity is increasing in Victoria as well as in other states of Australia. Medical authorities ! say that as much as anything else the horrible loneliness of life In the unsettled portions of the country is responsible. Os the population of \ ictorla tho women exceed the men ny lo.OiHl, but marriage seems to be going Out of date for every census reveals that tee proportion of marriageable females to that of marriageable males is increasing, now being 127 women to every 100 men. Students of the question attempt to explain It by pointing out that the life of a hard-working farmer’s wl/a In a thinly settled district is not calculated ( to appeal to a girl half as much us be- j ing single in a city. But depressing though tho bush nay j be, one who has seen an Australian for- j est is not likely ever to forget it, par- | ticulcrly a Victorian forest of eucalyptus trees. The euralypts, or gums, ns tbey aro popularly known, are of many va rieties, and the kinds that will grow in one place will die In another, even though it be only a few miles away. In Victoria alone there are sixty varieties of the tree and some grow as high as SCO feet. The eucnlypts replace rapidly and grow about seven times as fast as oak or I hickory. Twenty of the Vlc.orian gums ! have commercial values, the barks pro- I during tannin for tanning leather, while ! eucalyptus oil is obtained from the gum j and leaves. GUM TREE woons WITHSTAND WEATHER. Railroad sleepers, made of the blue gum tree, have been- known to last for forty years, shingles made of the pep- j permint gum will withstand the elements i for almost as long. This is due largely to the dry climate. Another tree which is of great value is the ironbark, for it ! will withstand fire better than iron, which warps tn great heat. Victoria has about 12,000,000 acres of j forest land under the control of a com- I mission which was formed to prevent the i destruction of woodlands threatening the j state. Three million acres of state lands i are on the slopes of high mountain ranges and are protected for the main- | tenance of springs and streams. In the ' center of the state large tracts which ] have been cut over are closed now in ! order that new timber will have a chance to grow; 4.000,000 ncres have been set j aside ns reserves and for the production I of timber; 500,000 acres are being cut over and the rest is in the eastern part | of the state where transport- is difficult ! and will be held for the future. In spite of the fact that the state is ! not thickly settled iu many parts, Vie- j toria maintains free schools in every i county. On a map at which I was look- i ing the schoolhouses were marked w l th I red dots. As revealing how thoroughly the state has attempted to provide education for its children, I found In the farthest northweat county a lonely red dot where the maintains a school

although there are not a hundred persons all told in the county. Public schools of the state total 2,500. School attendance s compulsory between the ages of 6 and 14, and in some cases between 14 and 17 at night schools where children have been taken from school at 14. Deaf and dumb aud blind or defective children are required to be kept in school until they lire 10. Educaj tlon in the state is handled by a council on public education, headed by the director of education. In order to enforce attendance in sparsely settled districts the ‘ state ifurnishes conveyance to children living far frhtn schoolhouses. In other cases teachers drive through the country giving short periods of instruction daily and assigning lessons for the next day. MILITARY DRILL IS COMPULSORY. Military drill is compulsory in all Schools, and the teaching of agriculture, woodwork, domestic science and swimming is encouraged wherever practicable. It is estimated that 230,000 children are in attendance annually. Eighty per cent of them go to the public schools and the others are distributed among 500 private and sectarian schools. Religion is not taught In the public schools For the benefit of those children who naay desire to go further than the required eighth grade the state has provided nineteen high schools and seven central schools, at all of which education ’? free. There also are technical schools under state control. lUustaative of the general high standard of elementary education in the state is the fact that of 9,156 couples which were married in one year only sixteen men and eleven women were unable to s!gn their names. What a blessing the ability to read is was impressed upon me most deeply during one of our journeys by train through Victoria, although as a matter of fact 1 have noticed it in other states, too. At frequent Intervals your ears are assailed by loud shouts and cries from along the tracks. The hoarser voices of men mingled with the (roble of children and always the cry was the same. Puzzled, I turned to one of uiy neighbors and asked him what It meant. AI L OF THEM ENJOY READING. “They are crying. Taper, paper,’ ” he replied. ‘Poor people, they live where dally papers are not to be bought and are too far from towns to buy other literature It is a custom in this country to savo the newspapers or magazines or books which you have read on the train and toss them out of the window when you hear them ask for them.” 1, wag to learn later that the CTaving

for matter to read extends to the cities ns well, for I visited a good many of the libraries and in each of them few of the seats were empty in tho readingrooms. And those who were engrossed in paper, magazine or book were of all ages and all classes. Book shops and circulating libraries do a flourishing business and tho second-hand book store, wligre old magazines are to be had for mere pittances usually are thronged. On the day on which this is being written I have read In the morning paper an Item that is significant as Indicating anew spirit in Australia. It was merely a statement that the first shipment of wheat was to be made from Portland within a few days. Portland has one of tho best natural harbors in all Victoria. It is near the South Australian border and only seventy-five miles from Mt. Gambler, one of the richest agricultural centers of South Australia. It is 200 miles closer to some of the ‘principal wlieat centers of Victoria than is Melbourne. Yet as a shipping port Portland has been neglected. Jealousy between the states of South Australia and Victoria in the past has prevented Portland from getting shipments from over the border In South Australia, and Mt. Gambler products have traveled 800 miles to Adelaide rather than seventy-five miles to Portland. Wheat from Western Victoria has been sent all the way to Melbourne to be shipped because Melbourne wished to make as great a showing as possible in Us figures compared to those of its big city rival, Sydney, In New South Wales. Yet Melbourne’s harbor charges are exceedingly high, made so by the fact that its harbor is one which requires constant dredging, deepening and tinkering. That spirit is dying In Australia and Victoria is one of the leaders in trying to wipe It out. Melbourne Is both the state capital and the temporary commonwealth capital and this has helped some. Next week I am going to give you a peep at Melbourne and tell you of some of its characteristics w they were revealed to me during a very pleasant visit of sixteen days.
