hearted member of congress intro- duced bill, and it was passed and because a law, allowing the incorporated towns to keep what belonged to them. What muni- ficencel Is there any other DOT ton of Gods green foot stool where flies the stars and stripes, the flag we dearly love-Yes, Alaskans love itas well as those who live in more favored localities-Is there any other portion of the United States where the people are strugl- ing for an existence; enduring the hardships of the pioneer, trying to better their conditions, trying to open up great country, bu; sui fering from an iniqui,ous license tax that is paid yearly into the general treasury of the United States?
 Each year there is a pamphlet issued by the treasury department entitled Commercial Alaska.
 In the last issue they point with pride to the revenue paid into the treasury from struggling Alaska, showing Q balance to our credit of $259,OO0 annually. What we want Is congress to return to us what is rightfully ours, to assist us in opening up this great and glorious Northland, by appropriat- ing Alaska's money for Alaska's needs. Give us a wagon road from the gateway, Valdez, to Eagle on the Yukon, and we will carve out one, two or three great states from this northern Empire, that will be a credit to our glorious country and the pride of our posterity.
 You have been told tonight, sen- ators, that we want a delegate to congress. We certainly do. And we want to elect him ourselves. The American people are a patient and long-suffering people, but we remember the lessons taught us as little children, and one was, That Americans had at least the right to be heard through their representa- tives; another was, That taxation without representation was tyran- ny. Now. we ask you in all fair ness, don't these sayings apply as much to-day as they did in 1776? Give us American road through all American territory, and a delegate to congress. These things we de- mand as American citizens, and as honest men we can accept no less.

About The Indians,

Rev Cram epoke on what the government owes to the Copper River Indians. He dwelt on the way in which the white man had encroached upon the territory of the natives, was driving their game from the country and preventing the fish from running up the streams. He showed that if the government did not make some provision for issuing rations to the Indians they would soon be with out means of obtaining a living. After scoring Major Abercrombie for refusing to feed destitute na- tives, he summed up with the statement that the government owed the natives, first, a living; second, protection of their personal rights; and third, the means of securing a higher education if they wish it, and urged that such edu- cational institution be placed at Valdez.

Territorial Government.
This subject was ably handled |

This subject was ably handled by A. W. Rockford. He gave as argu- menis for territorial government : A permanent population of 30,OOO, "who are the very choicest picking from every state and territory in the Union;" a revenue now going to the government annually of $5OO,OOO, of which only $l5O,OOO a year is expended on Alaska; the population not scattering; the coast and Yukon points, all easily access sible. being the only inhabited DOT tions of the district. He compared Alaska to Oregon when the latter was made territory, and summed up as follows:
 "But while we feel pretty capable of governing ourselves, Congress, should it make territory of the district, should deal with us as lib- orally as possible. We are carving an empire from bleak wilderness, and feel that we deserve every pos sible aid from the federal govern ment."

Agricultural Possibilities.

Prof. Georgeson, superintendent of Experimental Agricultural Sta tion in Alaska, in reply to an in- quiry made by the chamber of con- merce as to his opinion of the Cop per river valley agricultural possi- bilities, stated that After a thor ough investigation of . large DOT tion of the valley, that there is at least 15 5000 square miles of agricul- tural lands in the Copper river val ley. The land being mostly cover ed with timber, a large portion of which has been burnt over making it very cheap and easy for settlers to prepare the land for crops. The soil is generally a black loam with gravel subsoil in most places near the river. Back from the rivers the subsoil is mostly that of clay.
 "All kinds of hardy vegetables and grasses can be raised success fully there every season, and all small grains of hardy nature can be raised with success three out of four years.
 "The valley has q beautiful clim- ate, not too much rain in the sum- mer and light snowfall; the wind never blowing with the thermome- ter below zero, making it an ideal stock country when winter feed is provided, although horses have done we'll even without being win ter fed.
 Copper river valley is capable of supporting hundreds of thousands of people in comfort by agriculture, providing adequate facilities could be had from the coast for about 100 miles. A good wagon road con structed from Valdez to Copper Center would enable the settler to transport his machinery. provi- sions, &c. from the sea to his farm in the Copper river valley.

More Pay For Soldiers.

In his forthcoming annual re- port, Secy. Root will call attention to the injustice in denying troops serving Alaska concessions that are made soldiers serving in the Philippines, Hawaii and Porto Rico. The laws and regulations allow double time for payment for service in the tropics, but nothing extra is allowed for service in Alaska. Secretary Root recognizes the Northern service, especially at many isolated posts, as especially arduous, and urge double time allowance for them.

How to Cook spaghetti.

An ancient kitchen tool recently re-
vived is the salamander iron, which
may be made one of the most useful of
fancy appliances, says the New York
Evening Post. The salamander is a
round disk of iron, quite thin and fiat,
and fastened to a wooden handle.
When thoroughly heated over Goals,
the iron is held close to pastry, me-
ringues, ETC., coloring them beauti-
full brown. delicious dish of spa
ghetti is made by boiling the paste in
sailed water, seasoning and sprinkling
thickly with parmesan cheese. At the
last moment hold the salamander close
to the cheese long enough to scorch it
slightly. There is a piquancy about
spaghetti cooked in this way that is
never forgotten by those who once
taste it,

HOW TO ANSWER ADS.
The Proper Way of Making Appli-
cation For Work.

The Proper Way of Making Appli-
cation For Work.
Use full size commercial letter paper
of good quality and an envelope of cor
responding size. Write on one side of
the paper only. Make the letter as
brief as consistent with the informa-
ton to be impaired. If the advertiser
conceals his name and address, as he
generally does in advertisements, no
salutation, as Dear Sir or Gentle
men," is to be used. This requires that
the letter of application shall be left
at the Office of the newspaper in which
the advertisement appeared, and it is
not to be stamped.
AS letters of application are ordina-
rily much alike, the writer should try
to give his letter some individuality,
thus attracting special attention, says
the Chicago News. Originality is al
ways noted and admired. While some
what different most letters begin, Ere
plying to your advertisement" I'm re-
ply to your advertisement" Referring
to your advertisement" "1n reference
to your advertisement" Answering
your advertisement" Noticing your
advertisement" Seeing your adver-
tisement," so that the letter that be-
gins "In the hope of getting the posi-
ton advertised l ask the privilege of
filing an application with you' is diff
ferent, and by this fact alone attracts
attention among hundreds of letters
that are so much alike. 1t individual
ICES the letter and thereby gives the
writer the leading chance for the posi-
ton.
Don't inclose a stamp, as it is a way
of urging attention and reply. Let the
letter be short, stating only that you
desire to get the position, and state
few important qualifications you may
possess in order to show your ability
to fill the position satisfactorily. No
wording of the closing paragraph of
the letter can be more appropriate than
Hoping to hear from you, / am" etc.
This closing leaves the matter entirely
with the one who controls the situation
and who will be pleased with your APP
parent subordination, which is a valua-
BILE characteristic in an employee.
Sign your name plainly and in full
and put your address under the sigma
ture, so that the name and address may
be together for convenient reference.

Hahne & Co., Newark--Announeement


The influence that regulates this
vast establishment and its varied in
terests is augmented by the determin-
alton that is applicable to the princi-
Piles of progression, which have been
closely allied to it since 1858, the year
of its inception. Year after year some
innovation has been presented that
was suggestive of the interest we main
tanned, not only for the public, but our
employees as well.
The conditions of to-day differ very
materially from those of last year, of
yesterday, and the only way we can
determine what is required is to meet
the facts as presented, basing our deci-
sion along lines Of good Judgment.
When the question of summer holt
days came up for consideration we rea-
soned that Friday night was just as
warm as Saturday night, and that our
employees did not have sufficient time
to recuperate for Saturday business
hours in the time allotted them-tr
it's financial loss. but the loss is ours
and we cheerfully bear it.
We have elected that this store shall
close promptly at 6o'clock Friday even
ings, and Saturdays at / O'clock, from
July II to August 20 inclusive.
