CAN TRADE
Canadian Steamers Can Go
 tO Fairbanks

It is conJeuded at Washington that the order of the treasury department which provides that boats may prOcede down the river to Fairbanks without having their cargoeS inspected at Eagle providing that each boat must take on an inspector Of customs at that place whose expense it must bear, will permit Canadian steamboats to trade between Canadian ports on :he upper Yukon river and Fairbanks,
 A dispatch in the Seattle POst-ln- telljgeucer from it's Washington city correspondent, bearing date August s, says:
 Assistant Secretary ArmstrOng.was asked today it the arrangement permits British or other foreign steamers to do business on the Panama and lower Yukon. and he replied that it did. Such steamers will not be allowed to trade between two American ports, however. on account of the cOasting law. Although there is a good deal ofconiustou and always has been as to the provisions of the casting law as applied Co Alaska, there seems 10 be no dOub. that today's decision means among other things that British com ptnies, operating foreign vessels, will be allowed Co have a share of the through lr. de from Canadian points to the Tauaua, and it will also facilitate shipments from Puget sound points tO the Panama by way of the Canadian route"

AMONG GEORGIA "CRACKERS. ,,
When the SSunday Lady, Came
There Was a Scramble for the
Family Wash Basin.

Miss Martha Berry, describing in
Worlds Work her labors among the
poor whites in the south, recounts thus
visit to one of their houses:
I would ride my pony for miles
through zig-zag path in the resinous
woods leading up to some isolated lit
tie cabin. The whole family would
come out and welcome me. And thess
words grew quite familiar:
"Yonder comes the Sunday Lady!
Hitch yo' nag and 'light-'light, and
come in. We-uns be pow'ful proud to
see you!"
1t was not always easy to "ligh,
and come in,'' because the doorway
was usually blocked with dogs, cats,
chickens and a tow-headed baby, ~
ing serenely happy in the sunshir*.
in rude wooden box which did duty
for cradle. My appearance among
the children was always the signal for
a rush, pell-mell, to the dilapidated
we'll. This pleased me very much, az
it showed that my admonitions tn
wash and be clean Were literally car
ried out. There was al ways q .scram-
BILE among them to get possession Of
the family tin basin. Then, after a
hasty dip, they would come forward,
one after another, to give loving
greeting to the Sunday Lady," their
little bright faces and caressing
hands shining and dripping with watsr.
