As we halted in front Of Mr. ]. Walter Car

the hearty greetings extended by him caused

store where many good old democrats, and

pleasant salutations and warm hand shalx-
ings that followed were enough to make one
feel more enthusiastic than ever Wewere

where, to our great surprise, was large

..KEEP THE RAsCALs OUT.

The third day Of November,
In The mother county Of the State,
Was a day we'll all remember,
For II sealed party's fate.
That party was for plumber,
We havn't the slightest doubt,
For they rent their threats asunder
Crying, keep the yaacdIs out
Their battle-flag-the bloody shirt
From every rostrum waved;
Their battle-cry--aboys, don't desert"
Remember, you were enslaved.
They to passions and to prejudice
OF cold men appeal
To gain themselves an office
Against their county's veal
But the cold mans now beginning
For himself some TO reflect,
Hoping thereby Of winning
Confidence and self-respect.
A vote Of thanks TO them is paid,
Fpr helping In the.rout;
We democrats, with their aid,
Have KEPT the rascals out. d

Timber In Alaska,

Alaska forests contain enough TIM
Der to supply the world. The forests
of pine, spruce, fir, and hemlock cover
every island of the archipelago and
goodly portion of the mainland. The
trees are straight and tall and grow
close together. The only saw-mill at
present in operation is at Douglas Is
land, and so far there has not been a
cord of timber cut for shipment. The
trees, as a rule, do not always cut up
into good-sized boards.
For fuel, however, the wood is excel
lent, and much of it available for
building purposes. There is little dec
orative wood, although the yellow pine
is richly colored and might be used to
advantage in interior work. Alaska
spruce is an excellent variety, and Of
ten measures five feet in diameter. It
is considered the best spruce in the
world. and the supply is very abun.
dant. In the interior of the country
timber is of much heavier growth than
near the coast and on the islands.
Regarding the hemlock. there is a
large supply, and the bark compares
favorably with that of all the Eastern
trees used in tanning establishments.
No one has yet attempted to com.
pute the value of the Alaska forests.
l: may be they will not be necessary
for years to come, but whenever wood
grows scarce elsewhere, or whenever
civilization fastens itself upon Alaska,
the timber of the region will be found
ready at hand and existing in rich pro.
fusion. Calculating only approx
mately the value of our possessions to
day, the forests must be considered.
Practically inexhaustible, they add
most materially to the wealth of the
Territory.

The Story of the Telephone.

In 1872 DR.. Bell had private school
for deaf mutes in Boston. Among his
pupils was Howard Glyndon, who is
we'll known in literary circles. One
day, while this lady was walking, she
noticed that whenever street cars were
passing and the mnff in which her
hands were placed was pressed against
her body, she experienced peculiar
vibrations. On informing DR.. Bell of
sensations, he proceeded to construct
what he called a sound-box, having
sdrum-shaped heads, which was to be
worn IN front, under the clothing. DR..
Bell experimental with sound-boxes
till he stuck upon new idea. This
idea excited him very much, caused
him to work sometimes all night, and
at length resulted in the telephone.
DIR. Bell now needed capital to push
his idea. He was poor having nothing
but his salary as teacher. The way
the Bell telephone became a success
was due to causes wholly outside of it's
own merits. Gardiner Green Hubbard,
of Cam bridge Mass, had a deaf-mute
daughter at school in Germany. Be-
coming dissatisfied with her progress
he had her come home, and employed
DIR. Bell to teach her. The young lady
was very lovable, and DR.. Bell soon
discovered the feeling he had for her
was very different from the ordinary
feeling existing between teacher and
pupil. He felt compelled by honor to
resign his position, which he did. But
the mischief was done. The affection
was mutual.
At first the young lady's parents op-
posed the union. But when they found
their daughters happiness at stake
they gracefully surrendered.
DIR. Bell had won a charming wife
and obtained as father-in-law a wealthy
business man. Gardiner Hubbard had
every inducement to push the tele-
phone. From this time on it was a
success Chicago Tribune.
