How They TaIkl

The pastor on his pastoral round
II filled with grief the most profound
Monday morning,
Because there doth at church appear
So few out of his flock to hear
His pious warming
With kindly wonder and concern
He listens patiently 10 learn
That on his people
such dreadful ills viii weekly steal
When loud they hear the church bell peal
From out the steeple.
One brother has a cough so queer
II keeps him in a chronic fear
OF strangulation
Whene'er in church he goes 10 sit,
But doesn't trouble him bit
At store or station.
Another has rheumatic pains
And loud and bitterly complains
About the heating;
Yet goes to every drafty hall
And never has twinge at all
Except in meeting
And some there are so tied at home
A single hour they can not roam
For church attending.
But some way let their duties slide
And Sunday afternoons they ride
Without offending.
The sisters too, are ratherfrail
And chronic feebieness bewail
In tones beguiling;
With woes they fiji the pastors ears
And almost move the man TO tears,
So sweetly smiling.
But ere the day around can roll,
A gentle, piteous little soul,
So fine and hearty,
VIII don her very prettiest gown
And all her ills and sorrows drown
Al dancing party.
Another, with appealing face,
Declares she thinks il Is her place
The Sunday paper
To read 10 her delightful John
Until he can be slyly won
To church 10 take her.
The parson owns with anxious signs
He doesn't need for Matching lies
An incubator;
And though he sometimes sees the Joke,
He swallows stories that would choke
An alligator.

A BUrlPER WHEAT CROP.
Reports From All over the State
Show Fine Prospects.

From all wheat growing sections in
Washington reports are very favorable.
1t is claimed that conditions are better
than they have been for years and, in
fact are nearly identical with the con-
ditions of 1897, when the bumper crop
of the Pacific states was grown. From
Davenport, Dayton and the Rattlesnake
and Horse Heaven countries all reports
are favorable.
The many thaws of the winter allowed
the moisture to soak into the ground,
giving it the: benefits that might accrue
from two or more springs. Since the
opening of spring there haye been more
rains than usual and the general condi-
ton is that the ground has now suffi-
cient moisture to withstand dry sea-
son.
Crops are looking fine generally and
even with later grains practically all
seedingis done.
There are no changes in the market
conditions. There is one chartered YES
sci on Puget Sound and one on the way
to Portland. 1t is believed that these
will be the last of the wheat fleet for
the season. Prices for bldestem re-
main at 81 cents, but club and red
wheat are in little demand, there be-
ing practically no demand for those va
rieties. Tacoma News.

by the statement that fortyfve min
utes were consumed in making that
round trip on the intramural.
Follow that tnrong of people and you
come to the banks of the lagoons that
are dotted with gondolas and electric
launches. Hark to the medley of sound
as the swish of the cascades joins the
music of the band that is playing on
the plaza, and above all rise the notes of
a song from the gondolier who is swing
ing mis- craft under the bridge on which
you stand. Alive is the water. alive are
the braod thoroughfares, alive are the
great buildings, and you are told that in
a few weeks alive also will be the air,
for then the balloon contests will be
in full sway.
Now you fully comprehend what was
meant when word was sent forth by the
exposition management that this should
be a worlds fair in which the reveal
ment of processes should be paramount
1t is one continuous panorama from the
time you enter the gates until you leave
Visit the palace of machinery and you
see in motion giant engines, some of
them occupying as much space as does
a three story house. Their ponderous
beams rise and fall, great fly wheels
revolve and glittering pistons glance in
and out. They are living exhibits from
all the manufacturing centers of the
world and are supplying power to every
thing on the site a power represented
by forty thousand horses all pulling to-
gether.
Enter the palace of education. Here
also, you find life and motion. Students
in a manual training school are show
ing how tools are used. Deaf and dumb
pupils eXemplify the methods in vogue
where the sense of touch supplies other
senses that are lacking. In college lab
oratories experiments are being carried
on before your eyes.
twentieth century train Is in mo-
ton in the palace of transportation, yet
it does not move forward, for a system
of cog wheels counteracts the tendency
and the motion is therefore only appar-
ent. But when you enter, as you are
permitted to do, you feel the sway as if
YOU were SPEEDING forward, and you hear
the rumble of the wheels. Revolving on
a pedestal in the center of this palace is
the largest locomotive ever created. 1t
is alive with steam. and in and out
flash the pistons. The force which is
being expended there would send it
anead sixty miles an hour on straight
away track, but like the train the eff
fort to move ahead is counteracted by
ingenious mechanism. In like manner
automobiles are in action and other
wheeled things are in motion.

COUNCILMEN.
Opposed to Rebellion.

EDITOR PRospECToR.-The papers of southeastern Alaska, in their rabid uttcrances clamoring for ter ritorial government, have recently gone so far as to propose the set ting up in Alaska of form of ter ritorial government, and the legls- lative body of which to elect a del egats to congress, and in case he IS refused recognition to go it alone and govern Alaska.
 Last week the Valdez News, ap- perently for want of some better thought, chimes in with the other anarchists, and practically advo- cates rebellion and robbery.
 Alaska bought by the United States is the property of all the states. It is governed and cared for by the representative of the United States-the national gov- ernment.
 The fortunes of war have recently given the United States much segre- gated territory. Statesmanship, for the strengthening and mainten- ance of the Monroe doctrine and its spirit, is now considering the advisability of adopting an un- written rule, or possibly a constitu- tional amendment, to the effect that non-contiguous territory shall not be admitted to the brotherhood of states. Should this be agreed upon it will be because the wisdom of the country deems it best for the nation as a whole. In all their acts the national government must consider the good and safety of the entire nation and all its depend encies.
 Should congress decide that Alas ka cannot have territorial govern ment nor become one of the United States. it is very difficult to say what the inhabitants of Alaska could do about it, if anything.
 To set up an unauthorized gov ernment here would be rebellion pure and simple. For such a gov ernment to send delegate to con- gress would be an impudence that would cause resentment. and such delegate could be imprisoned for treason, also his associates. And for such government to attempt to hold and govern Alaska would be robbery that would not be per mitted.
 Taking all the inhabitants of Alaska to-day they do not own nor can they legally claim one-thou-  sandth part of its area, and much they do claim is by mere squatter's right. So what rights have we compared to the United States as whole?
 The national government is do. ing for Alaska. During this year with road and geological surveys. the telegraph line, the ocean cable, light houses, fisheries and other aids to development, it will spend over $1 100000, not to mention the maintenance of the court, peace of ficers, St. Louis exhibit, &c. No measley territorial government, with its seat at Skagway or Juneau, could accomplish this or anything approaching it.
 The sensible, reasoning people of Alaska are not asking for territor- ial government because for many reasons it is impossible. And they will not rebel and defy the parent government. So of what use is all this hysterical shrieking, except to show the particular kind of fools some people can be. Vox PoPULI.

MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT.

At the time of the last election there was some talk by the newly elected councilmen of framing a registration ordinance requiring all voters to register before the election. This is good idea and should not be ov rlooked by the council. Other Alaskan towns all have such law, and in fact it is the only way in which elections can be managed with fairness. It practically bars all illegal voters.

He has failed to put in an appearance here, and something should be done to ascer- tain what has become of him or when he will arrive.

Poem Liked by Secretary Shaw. Is

Secretary l.. VI. Shaw of the treasury
Is very fond Of poetry and Is also the
most devoted church member In the
cabinet, says the New York Tribune's
Washington correspondent. He is a
great admirer Of John G. SAKE, the
poet. Although Secretary Shaw is not
card player and knows little Of the
language of the game, he is particular
ly fond of the sentiment expressed in
the poem of Mr.. SAKE which begins:
There's a game much in fashion, think
it's called eucher,
Though 1 never have played it for pleas
ure or lucre-
In which. when the cards are in certain
conditions.
The players appear to have changed their
positions.
And one of them cries in confident tone,
81 think 1 may venture to go 1t alone"
The little poem concludes as follows:
In battle or business. whatever the game.
In law or in love, it is ever the same;
In the struggle for power or the scramble
for pelf.
Let this be your motto: Rely on yourself
For, whether the prize be ribbon or
throne,
The victor is he who can go it alone.

Bravery of an Engineer.

Floyd B. Greenhough, an engineer on
the Great Northern road, did brave
thing the other day. During a severe
storm the wires at the station where
his engine was were injured. Soon aft
er this was discovered 1t was found
that a nearby railroad bridge was Cd
fire, and an express train was almost
due to cross it. There seemed to be no
way to warn the coming train, but
Greenhough proved equal to the emer-
gency. He got light engine, crowded
on a full head Of steam, sent the engine
laundering across the burning bridge
and reached a station where the wires
were intact in time to avert a bad
wreck.
