TANANA RAILWAY BEGUN.
Falcon Josiyn Has Started Work
From Both Ends.

Dawson, Y. T., Oct. 10.-Falcon
Joslin, who is at the head OF the Tan
ana railway, arrived from Fairbanks
Saturday and left for Seattle Sunday.
He has started to build his railway
from both Chenoa and Fairbanks. The
grading from the two towns to the
junction will be completed this fall.
Trains will be running to the junction
from both towns by the middle Of next
June. Rails now in Dawson will reach
the camp in the early spring. The
road is to be extended to the heart of
the diggings by the first OF August.
Three steamers arrived from Tanana
Saturday, bringing only thirty people.
The fact that no enc is leaving the
camp is the most favorable comment
possi ble. There are from 5000 to
8, 900 people there. It is feared that
the food supply will run short before
spring.

exceedingly pretty in their brightly
colored kimonos. But times have
changed and things are moving quick

busy little ladies are preparing to de-

We may well ask why they should

WINNIE FOR p. n. G.
President Names First Assistant for
pOStOffiCe Portfolio.

POStOffiCe Portfolio.
Washington, Oct. 11.-Presldent
Roosevelt has announced the appoint
ment of Robert j. Wynne, acting post
master general, as postmaster general.
The appointment of Mr.. Wynne as a
member of the presidents cabinet was
not unexpected by those in close touch
with the situation. 1t was known that
in the event of Mr.. Payne's death the
president would designate Mr.. Wynne
as acting postmaster general because
of his familiarity as first assistant post
master general with the duties. Two
days after the death Of Mr.. Payne the
president so designated Mr.. Wynne,
and indicated his intention of naming
him as postmaster general until such
time as George B. Cortelyot, chairman
of the Repu blican national committee,
could arrange his affairs so as to as
sumo the duties of postmaster general.
Mr.. Wynne was appointed first assist
ant postmaster general in April, 1902.
For nearly quarter of century he
had been Washington newspaper cor
respondent. serving at various times
some of the most important papers in
the country.
It was information he had secured
as newspaper correspondent, corrob-
GRATED and reinforced by evidence
found in his department. after his ap-
pointment, that led Mr.. Wynne to
make the recommendation to Postmas7
ter General Payne which resulted in
the sensational developments in the
postOffice department. al

taken because Alfred Holt & Co., OF

have received word that the seized

How to Be Happy.

Many Of us miss the joys that
might be ours by keeping our eyes fix
ed on those of other people. No one
can enjoy his own opportunities for
happiness while he is envious Of an
others. We lose a great deal Of the
Joy Of living by not cheerfully &C
cepting the small pleasures that come
to us every day, instead Of longing
and wishing for what belongs to
others. We do not take any pleasure
in our own modest horse and car
rage, because we long for the automo-
bile or victoria that some one else
owns. The edge Is taken OF the en-
ioyment of our own little home be-
cause we are watching the palatial
residence of our neighbor. We can
get no satisfaction out Of a trolley
ride into the country or sail on a
river steamer, because some. one else
can enjoy the luxury Of his own car
rage or yacht. Life his it's full meas
ure of happiness for every one OF us.
If we would only make up our minds
to make the most Of every opportunity
that comes our way. instead OF long
ing for the things that come our neigh
boris way-Success.

The kitchen table shares with the

shown herewith illustrates table that

consideration of what goes to make the
most convenient table. 1t has large
top, which keeps dishes and pans from
getting into inextricable confusion. and
it has a large number of drawers,
which are always convenient, and also

which pans may be set when one is
