Brick Pomeroy has changed the
name Of his paper so that it is now
Brick Pomeroy's Democrat, and is
publishing it simultaneously in
Washington, ID. c., and at PA Broad
way, New York City. In the most
determined manner it opposes the
Civil Service experiment, claims that
the victors are always entitled to the
spoils, and that the Civil Service
Commission have no rights that the
democrats can afford to respect. He
has reduced the price of his paper to
one dollar a year, which is too cheap
for first class large eight page pa.
per, and is sending it right along to
the front. 1t is filled with red hot
articles and paragraphs, and is very
lively. useful, entertaining paper.
Only one dollar year. Ten copies
one year for $40, and copy extra to
getter up of the club. Money mighty
we'll invested. Send for it to the
New York office

The New Addition to Morgan.
town.

y
made an order directing a survey of
the new addition to the town so that
property holders may act in concert
in laying out streets and dividing
their property into town lots.
This addition to the town embra-
ces territory that may be made
very attractive if properly managed,
and very unattractive if badly man
aged.
If the property holders are dispos-
ed they may provide such streets and
alleys as will be more desirable than
most of those that are laid down
upon the general plat of the town, as
it was before the corporate limits
were changed. Or they may, by a
penurious, penny-wise and pound
| foolish course, so construct their
streets that they will forever hereaf-
be mere dirty lanes, and will be in
habited by the dirtiest and meanest
kind of people.
The town authorities will not lay
out private property and compensate
the owner for the land taken, and also
give him the benefit of the advance
in price just for the fun of it. Before
opening street they must have it
demonstrated that such street will
be ofpublic utility. And so long as
the property owners in the New Adj
dition simply use this land for Agri-
cultural purposes, there can be no
reason why streets should be opened
at the expense of the public.
Those who own property are the
ones who are benefited by the open
ing of streets, and if they have not
the energy and enterprise to change
their pasture lots into valuable town
property, nobody else will.
Should the citizens of the addition
lay out the streets and alleys and
town lots, and show to the public
that this territory is about to be
changed from COW pastures and po-
tato patches into town property, the
town will then expend its money in
improving the streets, for it would
then become matter of public util-
ity.
Otherwise it would not be the du-
ty of the council to open or make
any such streets or alleys. If this
addition shall not be developed into
valuable town property it will be the
fault of the property holders and not
that Of the town council. The coun-
ell have done all that could be ex-
pected Of them, and we suggest to
our friends in the new addition that
the time to strike is when the iron is
hot. If you want to make your pro-
perty valuable now is the time to
make the effort. If you lie still and
do nothing the addition to the town
will appear on paper, and that is all
there will be of it.

The Boston Yom..n Wen,en.
Boston Letter to the Kansas City Times.

Boston Letter to the Kansas City Times.
1t is great mistake to imagine that specta-
Giles, Pluto blue wells. and low heels are the
characteristics of Boston women now. No
such thing; they are weak solutions of French
eoQuetry in rectangular molds. For the
women here are so thin! But the upper and
lower do not include them all. / wish / could
trust my pen to picture for you some one or
more of the Boston girls one sees on Com
monweath avenue or Beacon street of a
pleasant afternoon. They are not to be
equaled. And remember that l am impartial
enough, for Boston girls are not my prefer
ence as rule. Not Frisco with its women
of marvellous com plexions; not Baltimore,
with its women of rounded figures and dark
eyes and hair; not New York, with its women
of graceful carriage and easy unconscious
ness; not one Of these can show you the type
Of a beautiful Boston girl. She has that hair
that looks as though 1t were sand and sun
shine interviewer, that clear complexion
tiuged with red that makes one think OF n
berry buried In lily, well cut nose and
mouth. the low Greek forehead, with the hair
brushed off it, the fat back and we'll turned
shoulders OF an English girl, aud the nervous
plant movement in action Of an athlete; she
rides and plays tennis, swims and shoot
sometimes, and carries about with her fresh
air kind of atmosphere that makes ones eyes
brighten and nerves Jingle at the sight of
health so eharmingly housed. And there is
no nonsense and no morbldness In her
makeup. Health is sure safeguard against
these. She may ''Hirt;" what woman will
notl But even then it is as a sunbeam that
romps with the blades Of grass and the sway
ing leaves, mere game OF hide and-seek,
win no object beyond wholesome trying Of
the affections wings. Yes, such women as
these are after all the solution Of a part Of
the problem. No boy with such a mother
will soil himself II he knows he must look in
70 her eyes afterward; and no man will be
euvious Of other mems property who has
health aud happiness and loneliness at home.

The Forests of .4fnsI.r.
Letter in San Francisco Chronicle.

Letter in San Francisco Chronicle.
Alaska forests contain enough timber TO
supply the world. The forests of pine, spruce,
Or aud hemlock cover every island OF the
mainland. The trees are straight and tall
and grow close together. The only saw
mill at present in operation is at Douglas
Island, and so far there has not been cord
of timber cut for shipment The trees, as a
rule, do not have large dimensions and will
not always cut up into good-sized boards.
For fuel, however, the wood is excellent and
much of It is available for building purposes.
There is little decorative wood, although the
yellow pine Is richly coiored and might be
used TO advantage in interior work. Alaska
spruce is an excellent variety and often
measures FIVE feet in diameter. II Is con-
sidered the beat spruce In the world, and the
supply is very abundant In the interior OF
the country timber is Of much heavier growth
than near the coast and on the islands. Re-
gariing the hemlock, there is a large supply
and the bark compares fsvOrably with that Of
the eastern trees, used in tanning establish
ments. None have yet sttem pied TO compute
the value OF the Alaska forests. l. may be II
will not be necessary for years TO come. but
whenever wood grows scarce elsewhere, or
whenever civilization fastens itself upon
Alasks, the timber Of the region will be found
ready at hand aud existing in rich profusio1.
Calculating only approximately the value OF
our possessions to-day, the forests must be
considered. Practically inexhaustable, they
add most materially TO the wealth Of the Ter
