'when the royal and ancient" game
Of golf was first introduced on this side
of the Atlantic, there were those who
did not hesitate to proclaim 1t a fad
that would soon die a natural death
when the novelty of 1t had been ex-
hausted. Instead of this. interest In
the Scottish game has steadily grown
stronger and more universal, a greater
number of people are playing golf this
summer than played It last, and when
next season comes around IT will show
a still farther increase. Golf may have
beer a fad to start with. but 1t is now
well past the fad stage. 1t has devel-
oped into a permanent fixture among
our outdoor sports.
Recent as was its introduction-it
was only four or five ear ago when
we first began to hear the mysterious
vernacular of the links, of 'cleek
shots" putting" tees" 'brassies"
and "caddys"-it yet has attained q
vogue and popularity quite unPar-
alIeled in the history of the games. the
American people have taken TO 1t WITH
their characteristic liking for anything
new or novel, n many remarkably
fine players have been developed on tfis
side of the ocean as a result of our
equally characteristic aptitude for any
sport requiring skill and a nice juds-
ment.
The extent OF this popularity may be
determined when IL is stated that over
SIS. 900, 900 are expended each season on
the game by its devotees. This vast
sum represents only what is spent In
the way of club dues, for necessary
equipment, such as balls, bags, etc,
for caddy fees, transportation to and
from the links, and for the speoiaI
clothing in which the golfer garbs
himself when he turns out upon ms
greens" Large as these 1gures are
they are probably under the MARI
rather than over 1t. for there are some
ST. golf clubs in the country to-day
having a combined membership o.

club houses and the ground occupied
by the links, no doubt represent many
millions more that have been perma

The JOURNAL has frequently
called the attention of business
men and property owners to the
fact th,.t some of the sidewalks
on Front street are in deplora-
BILE condition. The publication
of this fact has done some good,
and already quite an amount of
work has been done in the way
of repairs, but there is still room
for more work. Certain prop
erty owners who are holding
property for purely speculative
purposes, without occupying it,
presist in ignoring the popular
demand for good sidewalks, on
the superstition, we presume,
that other business interests will
be compelled to build sidewalks
for them, in order to protect
themselves. This is an entirely
ERRONEOUS idea. Property that is
unoccupied and held for purely
speculative purposes is consid
cred, under the law, as aban-
doned, and is subject to reloca-
ton by boni- fde settlers. Such
relocation may be called "jump-
ing" but under the circumstances
it is justifable. A person who
will not occupy or improve his
property, deserves to have it
"jumped," and unless necessary
Improvements are made at once

opinion, will be on the side of the

The last session of Congress
passed an appropriation of $780,
10000 for public buildings in
Alaska without specifying the
amount to be expended at any
particular place. The needs of
the different cities of Alaska are
very great, but no city in Alaska
is in as great need of improve
ments to public buildings as
Wrangel. Our court house is
entirely too small to meet the
requirements of this district, and
our jail, SO called, is no jail at all.
TO put crook in Jail here is
equivalent to turning him loose.
AT least S25, 600 of the appro.
priation should be expended at
Wrangel, but unless proper steps
are at once taken to secure it,
Wrangel will not get the recog-
milton she deserves, The law
requires that the United States
court for the district of Alaska
shall meet once year at Wran-
gel, but the presiding judge has
always evaded the law on the
ground that our Court room is
inadequate and we are without
jail. So long as these conditions
exist, so long will we be without
a sitting of court at this place.
1t is undoubtedly the duty of the
Chamber of Commerce to take
immediate steps looking to the
securing for Wrangel of sum
out OF this appropriation suffi-
Gent to meet the immediate re-
quirements Of this locality. 9th

Is Europe to disarm? The

purpose of reducing their arma-
ments. His object is to insure
permanent peace, and to relieve
the nations of the burdens which

hoped that the powers will fol

proposition for an international
conference for the purpose of

it will have it's effect. With Rus

Germany, France and the other

We are aware that our readers
who suffer from Nervous, Chronic
and Sexual Diseases do not have
the same opportunity to he cured as
do the residents OF the large cities,
where the most eminent physicians
and specialists reside. DR.. c. H.
Towner, Detroit, Mich, Box g.,
who has the largest practice in the
world and who is without doubt the
most successful specialist in curing
all forms of Nervous, Chronic and
Sexual troubles, offers free consul
tation by mail to all sufferers The
Doctor has just issued a very in
teresting and instructive treatise
that should be read by every man
who is married or is thinking of
marriage. 1t gives you information
on many subjects which you have
no doubt often wondered about He
will send you u copy free, if you
write to him enclosing a stamp.
Better write to-day, as the demand
for the treatise is very large and
first come are first served. No mat
ter who has failed to cLre you, it
will cost you nothing to obtain the
Doctors opinion on your case. Re-
member he has made his world wide
reputation bv curing the most OBJ
stinate eases, after they had been
given up by the most eminent ply
sicians in this country and Europe.
Do not be deferred from seeking his
advice, because after being treated
by many who failed to cure you,
you have become discouraged. This
is the very time you should make
one more trial. The Doctors offer
of free consultation will only last a
short time longer. so we would adj
wise our readers who are interested
to write at once about their case, as
he will surely cure them and the
chance to get the free advice of this
eminent specialist may never occur
again.

sprOuting Potatoes.

While the sprouting of potatoes
under ordinary conditions is very
Objectionable, they may be so
sprouted as to materially advance
their earliness. This is done by
placing them, stem end down, in
single layers in shallow trays on
the floor in light and moderately
warm room. Thus placed they will
send out short, stubby, green
sprouts, which will remain in that
condition for weeks. Such potatoes,
planted without breaking the
sprouts, will grow Immediately
and produce an early crop.

Payment or Taxes.

Any person charged with taxes
on real estate and personal prop
erty according to existing law, may,
at his option, pay the full amount
thereof on or before the first Monday
in December 1898; but if he shall
pay one-half such taxes, as the
same shall appear on the assess
ment roll, taxed against him on or
before the first Monday in Deem
Der, 1898, then in such case, the
remaining half of said taxes shall
not become delinquent prior to the
first Monday in June, 1899; but, if
such person shall fail to pay the
first half of said taxes as herein
provided, then the entire tax shall
become due, and shall be collected
as provided by law, and all taxes,
of which the first half shall not be
paid on or before the first Monday
in Decent Der, 1898, shall be subject
to have added thereto penalty of
ten per cent. together with 81 %

After the first frost comes cut
down the tops of asparagus and
burn them on the bed, after which
spread manure, about 3 or A inches
deep, on the bed and allow it to re-
main all Winter.
When foods are fed on the farm
and sold in some other form the
valuable elements of fertility are
retained at home, and as long as
this is done the farm may be cul-
tivated to its highest limit of capa-
city, and becomes more valuable
every year.
A gill of crude carbolic acid
(Which is much cheaper than the
refined article) made into an emul-
sion with half pint of strong soap
suds and quart of cold water then
added, will be sufficient for moisten-
ing bushel of sawdust, which may
be sprinkled in the stalls as dis
intectant.
inexperienced persons who un-
dertake the management of bees
will find much to learn before they
can succeed. The Winter care is
important, for the bees must not be
kept too warm, and if exposed they
may perish. A special house should
be provided, which should be kept
at uniform temperature.
Long articles have been written
on the importance of feeding liberal
lv, but farmers are progressive and
are disposed to go to extremes. 1t
may be safely claimed that at the
present day most farmers overfeed
instead of curtailing the supply,
which accounts largely for milk

There is a right way to use blank

the best covering for a horse is

when to Gather Turnips.

The turnip crop is SO hardy that
light frosts not only do not kill the
leaves, but possibly by destroying
weeds that have before interfered
with their growth, they seem often
to make the turnips grow faster.
We have seen the roots double in
size after an early frost followed by
warm, moist weather. There is also
an improvement in the quality Of
turnips after freezing weather, and
we think it is usually a mistake to
harvest the crop until the surface
soil in the field has once been frozen.

The Mark Lane Express tells of IA
food company of London which is
selling a new food product called
preserved tropical flies. These flies
are caught in the swamps and lakes
of South American countries by
spreading nets over the water dur
ing the night. The flies are then
dried, pressed and shipped to Eng
land to be sold as poultry food.
The eggs of these flies, which are
about the size of poppy seeds, are
also collected and sold as chicken
food. 1t certainly is remarkable
state of affairs when English hens
are fed upon flies taken from South
America.

Variety Of Feeding.

A quart of bran mixed with a
peck of cooked turnips will give
better results than when the same
proportions of bran or turnips are
fed separately, for the reason that
the turnips are composed mostly of
water and the mixture is more COM
plete as IA food, while the bran is
better digested when fed with the
bulky food. Variety in feeding
conduces to health, and the less
valuable foods become more valu.
able by mixing them with sub
stances that are more concentrated
and nutritious.
