The fight was a hard one, and although
the Australian had the best of it IN

The question of postal savings
banks is being agitated quite
strongly these days and all signs
point to it's adoption by the gov
ernment. The object of these saw
ings banks is to give young peo-
pie and working people chance
to save their small earnings and
put them where they will be
safe-because the government is
absolutely safe-and which de-
posits bring 2 per cent interest.
No depositor is allowed to de-
posit over three hundred dollars
in one year and not over one
thousand dollars in any event.
The system appears to be a good
one. We have a petition asking
for the passageof an act to create
this banking system which is in
the postofice, and we would like
all those in favor of the postal
savings bank to sign it.

OUR SCHOOL.

The Courier scribe made brief
visit to the different departments Of
our city schools Tuesday morning and
found that the board of education had
been putting in some good work DUR
ing the few weeks it has been in office.
The shoolhouse has been renovated
from top to basement and all the de-
partments thoroughly cleaned up and
overhauled SO that the school build
ing is in good shape and if the janitor
and teachers combined exercise due
care there is no reason why it should
not be kept in proper shape. The at
tendance on Monday in all depart
ments was 1913 divided as follows:

Second intermediate, Miss r. A.

Primary school, Mrs. Minnie Pit

creased when the busy season is over.

come pretty acquainted with each
other and all seem to be getting down
to work in good shape.

The terms of two of our coun-
ty commissioners expire this
year and elections to fill these
places will be held this fall. The
outgoing commissioners are
Messrs. John K. Olson and How
ard Wilson and the Courier is of
the opinion that the best inter-
ests of the county will be sub
served by the re election of both
of these gentlemen. That both
have made efficient and capable
servants of the people no one
will deny, and as Mr.. Wilson has
only served part of a term and
Mr.. Olson only one term we see
no reason why the people of their
respective districts should not
return them. We have heard
that in Mr.. Olson's district q
caucus of some kind was held a
short time ago and Mr.. Hans
Koloen nominated. This has not
been reported officially at this
office so that we are unable to
state whether it is a fact or not.
If it is a fact, while admitting
that Mr.. Koloen would make a
splendid. commissioner, it would
seem to us that the constituents
of that district should have given
Mr.. Olson a denomination. We
have heard of no opposition to
Mr.. Wilson so far.

OUR NEW MILL.

that our new -four mill is completed
and will be formerly opened up for
business next Monday morning. The

for putting up first-class mill with
all the latest improved machinery and
will undoubtedly manufacture -four
second to none in this state. If he
does this, and there is no reason why
he should not, we hope that every
family and every farmer in the county
will use the -four manufactured at
home. There is no need of going
away from home for flour after this.
A first-class miller OF practical exper-
ience is being secured by Mr.. Phipps,
and will be on hand in few days.
A trial batch of -four will
probably be ground out to-
morrow. Farmers are requested to
bring in their wheat to the mill-old
wheat preferred. Mr.. Phipps has de-
cided to name the different brands of
-four as follows:
First grade, '.Phipps' Best
Straight -four. "Favorite. %
Third grade, ''Pride of Griggs.''

A special to the Seattle Post
Intelligencer from Dyea, Alaska,
Aug. 8, says: '.Allthough the

prohibits the Importation of
liquor into Alaska for other pur-
poses than for medicine. Yet
there are thousands of gallons Of
alcohol, whisky and brandy be-
ing landed every week. A large
part of it being shipped to the
Klondike. The worst kind of
whiskey finds ready sale to Indi-
ans for three dollars bottle. In
almost every bay or nook Of land
where Indians live are, shops
from which whiskey is sold in
abundance. AtDyea and Skaga-
way as well as Juneau, Wrangel.
and Sitka, are found many sa-
looms running wide open.
The government issues inter
nal revenue licenses and at the
same time prohibits the importa-
tion and sale of liquors"
Before arraigning the prohibi
tion law us ineffective and charg-
ing it with wrongs innumerable,
let it's accusers follow the wrongs
to their rightful source and locate
them where they belong. No
law of our land can fully work its
beneficent effect, SO fearfully
handicapped as this one is. The
time is coming when the intel
ligent nephews and neices of our
venerable uncle will insist that
this defective cog in the wheels

AS the result of the develop
ment of our public school system
and the cheapening of books,
there has grown up a large class
of men and women who seek
broader education, or desire to
extend their knowledge along
special lines. Their duties in
life, or lack of means, exclude
them from the universities. The
Cosmopolitan Magazine has
undertaken the task of bringing
liberal education, in its broadcast
sense, within the reach of those
who have the aspiration but are
deprived of the opportunity.
Doctor Andrews, late of Brown
University, has undertaken the
presidency of the Cosmopolitan's
educational movement. The
work thus begun is not intended
to take the place of regular uni
versity work, but to supply a
gap in existing educational facili
ties. Those who are really in
search of knowledge will find di-
rection and aid. It can do moth
ing for those who. have not the
desire to study. An intending

Physicians constantly see patients
who would be horror stricken at the
idea of being devoted to tho whisky or

that there is no possible harm in re-
sorting to wines of cocoa Or kola, with

instances these wines contain such a
large quantity of alcohol that in adtli-

medicinal ingredients they produce an
effect equivalent to that induced by a
