No rush is reported for one office in
The gift of the Administration though
il is place not without numerous ad-
vantages. This is the position of rep
rcscntativc of the Government at Point
Barrow, the office rs yet having no
name in particular. Its occupant will,
in fact, be collector of the port, United
States marshal, district judge, and all
other things in one, and the matter of
his title is consequently yet in allegiance.
lie may be called Ur'ied States Pooh
Bah at Point Barrow.
Point Barrow is in the Arctic Ocean,
on the extreme northern point of
Alaska, and n succor station is TO be es-
tablishcd there, $4,000 having been
appropriated for the purpose. There is
little settlement of Esquimaux at the
place and Government vessel will
take up supplies and house for the
Pooh Bah. He will be visited once a
year, possibly. He will have six months
Of day, six months of night and plenty
OF time to read.
Here is place for man who wants
10 get out of the giddy whirl of society.
Here is the place for one who wants
rest What u place it would be, too,
for young married couple. They
know they will never, never tire Of each
other They know they will never
quarrel. All they want is to be to-
gether, away from all the world Point
Barrow would suit them to a nicely.
A most saving man can be the official
at Point Barrow. He will not be com
PEELED to squander more than his salary
on keeping up appearances, as some of
our representatives abroad must do.
The revenue cutter which struggles
through the ice to him every year or SO
will bring him his salary, and he can't
spend it If he tries. He will have nc
opportunity for extravaganza. There
isn't even a saloon at Point Barrow, mol
a gambling'place nor a dry goods store,
where ones wife can go shopping. The
natives live in dug.outs and are moi
stylish in dress.
Taken all round, the place at Point
Barrow is one not to he sneezed at, yet
as already remarked, there is no rush
for it. Pass the walrus, please.

A Real Estate Problem.
WASHINGTON, April 16.--Editor Critic:
The city OF Washington comprises within
its territorial limits some 4, ZOO acres.
II is estimated that over 5000 acres Of
land outside the city limits have been laid
out In suburban lots.
The plat Of Washington, after nearly a
century, is about one-third covered with
improvements.
Upon this basis Of growth within the city
limits how long will 1t take for the suburban
plats to be proportionately improved'
lent It a fact, also, that the beautiful
suburbs surrounding Washington have
shown less development aud improvements
in this century than around any other large
city in the country
VIII the influx Of rich men from all sec
tions Of the country who are buying prop
erty and erecting handsome winter homes
in the city be an inducement for Others to
erect and occupy summer homes in the
suburbss

A little while ago the Herdic Pheton
Company put Communication scheme into
effect. Books Of 100 tickets were placed
on sale for 1910, making rides cost about
three and seven-tenths cents apiece The
tickets are made into little book and torn
of one at time as they are used Most
people who ride on herdics have never seen
any OF these tickets. When anyone with
one of these books gets into crowded her
die the other passengers watch him inter.
estcdly as he tears OF a ticket. Everybody
in arms-reach reaches for the ticket to pass
1t to the box. The first person TO get hold
of 1t scans 1t carefully on both sides and
reads all the printing that is on it, Then he
hands It to his neighbor. Usually one of
these cupon tickets makes the entire circuit
of the herdic and satisfies whole wagon
load OF curiosity before it reaches the fare
box.

as there is for retention inside the depart
