for it is an undeniable fact that we are

Marriaae as a Profession.

Marriage, for a girl, is undoubtedly
a profession, and a profession which
requires an education. She must
recognize how much depends upon her
health and the health Of those COM
mitted to her care; how much depends
on her being a careful manageress of
her household, and of the money put
into her hands for use of the welfare
of others. Above ALL she should be
taught that wives and mothers are

COAL ALONG PACIFIC Coast in Alaska Sufficient to Sup ply the Entire Commerce of
 the Pacific Ocean.

Harrington Emerson, in the last number of the Engineering Maga- zine, summarizes recent govern ment reports to show that with the Crows Nest mines of British Col umbia and the fields recently ex- plored in Alaska, the West sur passes the East in the matter of coal.
 The Crows Nest coal fields, hun dreds of miles in extent. lie on the west slope of the Rocky mountains, not more than 300 miles from the Pacific coast. Nearer the coast of Puget sound, in Washington and Oregon, are more important fields. This basin, exclusive of Vancouver island, covers an area of 150 miles In Alaska. near the White Pass railroad, Il valuable coal mine has been discovered.
 Still more important coal fields have been found near the Chilcat river, between Mt. St. Elias and the mouth of Copper river. This coal is reported to be extraordinar- fly good. ''as clean to touch as glass" and almost identical in composition to Albion Cardiff, adop- ted by the United States bureau of equipment as standard"
 On the kenai peninsula, on Cook inlet, good coal crops out in numerous veins along the coast, and at low tide is loaded into small boats. The most extensive, most accessible coal fields in Alas ka, however, are on Hcrcndeen bay. This coal is hard, brilliant, clean and very strong, and the field is of SiSdt Ndiuc, 'tNtuSt II IF dt tIc very keystone of the North Pacific.
 The shortest steamer route from the United States or British Columbia to any part of Asia, runs within twenty miles of this access ible coal field. It is also the near est of all American coal mines to the island possessions of the United States in the Pacific, or the nearest part of the American mainland to Hawaii, Samoa, Guam and the Philippines.
 These mines are also nearly 1000 miles nearer Asia than the Puget sound mines or san Francisco.
 The undeveloped, or partially developed coal mines of Oregon Washington, British Columbia and Alaska, promise full coal supply for the demands of trade on the American coast of the Pacific. Therefore, there is no reason why, with her great Alaskan coal fields. and with her shipbuilding facilities, the United States should not con trol the commerce of the Pacific, and incidentally assist in the up building of Alaska.

and the resulting rubbish dumped in the hollows of streets which re- quire filling. These piles of cans and other refuse should be covered with gravel immediately and pre- vent any possible epidemic of sick ness. Valdez has always had an enviablc record for healthfulness. and by exercising little caution. and keeping the germ laden cans covered up or hauled away. we can keep up our reputation as the healthiest town in Alaska.
 THE Senate Committee on Mines and Mining has under considera- ton q bill introduced by Senator Kearns of Utah to amend the min ing statutes affecting the descrip- tion and measurements of mineral claims. The bill provides that the locator or possessoro of claim shall have the exclusive possession and ownership of all the surface there of. and all veins or lodes therein contained within the surface lines thereof, extended vertically. It is believed the bill will be reported favorably. A bill of this kind would put stop to much of the litigation that is indulged in by persons or corporations owning ad- jacent lode claims.

Inspector of Customs Service.

Inspector of Customs Service.
 Col. Joseph F. Evans. special agent of the United States treasury department, Is in Seattle on his way to Alaska. He is coming North to inspect the United States GUS toms offices and affairs in this district. Col. Evans makes this trip annually, and has become well known in all parts of the Alaskan coast country, for his efficient aid in settling international squabbles and questions involving the execu- tion of United States laws. During his stay at Nome he decided many intricate problems on his own au- thority. They would probably have resulted in serious trouble for the government if they had been first submitted to Washington, on account of the long delay. He has acted in much the same capacity as Lieut.. Jarvis and other special agents of the treasury department, for the government, that is. as d duly empowered representative of the United States in the isolated Alaskan towns.
 In speaking of the condition of the customs service in Alaska, Col. Evans said:
 "l am justified in saving there is no collection district in the United States in better condition than Alaska. Col. J. w. Ivey has made d good collector. His force was composed of competent and ma tured men, and his administration reflects honor on the country and himself"
 Decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States have estab- lished the doctrine that where an application for patent has been made, and is pending for town site, the land is at the same time open to exploration, location and purchase under the mineral act. the same as any other portion of the public land, even though it is in the actual occupancy of persons for townsite purposes. But if a patent to the tOwnsite has been issued, or final entry has been made, only such lands are excluded from the operation of such patent, as were known to contain minerals of sufficient value to warrant exploit ation and working at that time, and lands then located and possess ed as mineral lands. Where a mining claim is actually located prior to the entry of the townsite for patent, the rights of the mineral claimant are protected.-M Mining and Scientific Press.

THERE is a law in the Alaska code making it punishable by a fine not exceeding one thousand dollars for any person or corpora tion to allow a diseased animal to run at large. This is q good law and should be enforced. There are number of diseased dogs running loose about the streets, spreading Il contagious disease. Many of the dogs in town are valuable. and something should be done to pro- tect them. The city has imposed a tax on dogs and the council or marshal should see to it that the law against diseased animals is enforced. While the city has no ordinance against this nuisance, they should see that the district law is enforced and then our citi- zens would be more willing to pay the dog tax.

The tourists who have heretofore visited Alaska, have seen hut the panhandle of the great country. as they have travelled no farther north and west than Sitka. The most unique and grandest scenery lies between Sit ka and Unalaska. Prince William sound and Cook inlet are unequaled anywhere for beauty and grandeur of scenery. Mir. Hartman has made the trip and knows that he can recommend it as one in many respects superior to trip to Switzerland. Such line of tour ist boats would advertise this part of Alaska, and. would be the means of inducing many people to settle in Alaska. It is a great country, and the American people should see it before visiting foreign coun- tries. We are proud of Alaska but few of the American people appre- ciate its greatness. Alaska is one of the healthiest countries in the world and some day will be known as a great health resort, as well as a country rich in precious metals. fish, fur animals and beautiful scenery.

Killing Peach Tree Borers.


For the last eight years / have set
peach trees every year, and never fail
to make a thorough application Of the
tar. With an old paint brush put it
upon the trunk of the trees before set
ting, spreading the tar from the roots
up the trunk from eight to twelve inch
es. I am careful to remove any borers
that may be in the trees, as they come
from the nursery. I keep in mind this
1hct that the coal tar will not kill the
borer. deeply buried under the bark,
but will prevent the moth from depos-
iting its eggs at the base of the tree.
The application of the tar must be
made annually thereafter, being sure
to finish the work before the moth be-
gins to fly, which I believe is from
June to 15, usually. In making these
annual applications it is necessary, to
insure success, that the earth be re-
moved down to the roots. The bark
from the roots up eight to twelve inch
es must be completely covered with the
tar.
In case the tree is suffering from the
effects of the shot-hole borer or fruit
bark beetle, l know of nothing that is
equal to the coal tar as a remedy. In
case of mechanical injury to tree the
tar is better than any paint or wash
we have ever tried.-O. J. Farmer.

the following story as illustrative of the
evil of being too laconic in everyday
speech. Brevity was the distinguish

each the owner of horse. They met
one day and spoke as follows, relates

Agricultural Notes.

Muskmelon blight has become trou-
blesome in some localities.
Failing to get all the buttermflk out,
causes butter to become rancid soon.
In cultivatlng onions care should be
taken not to work the soil to the bulbs
or to hill them.
In seeding sour (acid land to tim
othy lime should be thoroughly worked
into the soil before the seed is sown.
For late strawberry crops northern
exposure, clay soil and late varieties
are recommended by the New Jersey
station.
Even seeds that are strong and large
should be watered with care after SOW
ing them. Drenching is usually bad
for them.
How long to keep a COW depends
upon her work. Age should be given
no consideration as long as the old
COWS are giving a profit.
On the farm, to make the most out Of
the milk and butter, the cows should
be bred so as to be coming in fresh
throughout the whole year.
ALI varieties of grapes may be propa-
gated by layering, and many, like Nor
