MEN WHO DO AND DON'T.
1He Kind Who Accomplish sone- thing h Life and How They
 Set About IL.

Men. after all, are. and always will be. of two kinds-the men who ec- complish and the men who don't. I'm. other day there was an important conference at the office of one of tn, biggest men in American finance. dt began early in the morning, and at noon it was not concluded. PromntIy at half past l2 the clerks went out to lunch. The financier apolc gized tn one of his stenographers for keeping hin ten minutes after the regular hour-indeed, if it had occurred often the stenographer would have indic- nantly sought another position. He did not, however, apologize to the other seven or eight millionaires who sat about his desk until we'll after seven o'clock, with no thought of luncheon or dinner. These men were willing to make the sacrifice which success demands, says the Ccsmopoli- tan. There is no dearth of openings for the man who win fit himself to accomplish. The fact is that the de velopment of business has been more rapid than the development of men, and to-day there is a greater need of men of the right sort than ever. and every great business is looking for them.

CHANCE FOR YOUNGER SONS.
The Very Lsaest Idea ls That They May Take up the Occupation
 of ChaaMeue.

What an amazing world is this mod ern world of ours! have been read ing again the letters of Horace Wal pole. in which it is easy to see that the only professions possible for a young man of family were politics. the army and the navy, says a writer in Country Life.
 How we have changed all that in s little over century. What is there. nowadays that our golden youth think derogatory? Certainly not turn ing actor. going on he'stock exchange. taking photographs, running a hotel.
 Now that the war is over. the very latest idea for useless younger sons is that they shall take up the occupation Of chauffeur. At the first blush this seems an excellent idea. Charming for miladi, for instance. to have an agree able young man of good family at her elbow every day driving her motor car. instead of John. silent and obse- quious. on the box of a carriage.
 Indeed. know one gentleman chauf- teur who has remarkable good time He has a little cottage all to himse If on the estate. and when the family are snort of an amusing man they ask him np to the hall to dinner.
 But at present this new profession Tor younger sons is certainly more dangerous than the army. Very rarely, in any recent accident, has the driver escaped being killed.

The honorable Ex. of Ketchikan has done Valdez the honor of de- voting about a column to an ex- pression of his ideas concerning the wagon road. A very strong argument, from his point of view, against the necessity for road, is the fact that Senator Nelson does not favor territorial government for Alaska at present.

Court House for Tanana District.
 When Judge James Wickersham arrives at Fairbanks, the new min ing camp on the Panama, he will enter into negotiations for the con struction of a court house to accom- modate the officials of that rapidly growing district. Announcement to that effect was made by the judge at Tacoma. He said:
 During my recent visit to Wash ingtOn 1 laid before the attorney general the need of an official home for the officials at Fairbanks, and recited the history of the prosper ous camp to bear me out in my ap- plication for permission to arrange for the construction of a court house.
 q am authorized to spend $5, 600 which will give us small, but comfortable home"
 When the first discovery of gold was made in the Panama region the Panama region the townsite was named Fairbanks, and to Judge Wickersham belongs the distinc- ton of naming the new camp. Sev- eral months previous to the loca- tion of the valuable Panama claims the judge, in conversation with Capt. E. T. Barnette, who was the first to reach the district after the discovery had been made by Felix Pedro, suggested that if the trip that he, Barnette, was about to un- dertake mp the river proved success full the new camp should be named Fairbanks in honor of Senator Fairbanks of Indiana. In return the judge agreed to appoint com missioner for the district, and as- sist in every way possible to make the original campsite the perman- ent headquarters of the district
 When the discovery of gold on the Tanana was announced and confirmed. Judge Wickersham lost no time in fulfilling his part of the agreement, as Felix Pedro and Captain Barnette both agreed to the name Fairbanks for the camp.
 Work on the new court house will be started in the spring.

Trade Is Increasing.

The Alaska trade in 1894 prom ises to exceed in gross value that of any previous year-and even a possible fall in the market p~ice of canned salnaon, which forms so inn por,ant part of the commerce of the territory, wiu probably not af- feet the general result. All signs point toa prosperous season, and there certainly was good begin ming in January. The complete figures, in much detail, are given for that month by the bureau of statistics of the department of com naerce-
 In domestic merchandise shipped to Alaska in January there was a gain of SS per cent, and in goods shipped from Alaska in the same month there was gain of 56 per cent. The winter business is oom- paratively light, of course, but the value of merchandise shipped north. ward in the first month of the year was $234 ,S33, as against $l77,114 in the same month of 1903. The south bound shipments. consisting largely of native products of Alas ka, amounted to $lSS, ,45s as against $l2O,343. These figures do not in- clude gold and silver.
 Copper will be an important fac tor in the Alaska trade within the next two or three years, and in com parison with other products of the territory is by no means inslgnifi- cant, even now. Several important copper properties ia the region bor- dering on the gulf of Alaska and in the southeastern part of the terri tory are at the very threshold of large production. The owners of these properties know the copper is there, for they can see it, and it is only question of time when this ore will form big item in our northern commerce. Production has already begun on a moderate scale, but tine greater part of it is incidental to development work entirely, and is simply an indiea- tion of the formidable output which the near future is to witness.
 In the first month of this year Alaska shipped $9,S77, and all though this was not large enough to enrich any transportation com Pany or to make any impression on the copper market of the United States, it was nevertheless nearly three times as much as was ship ped from our northern territory in the corresponding month of the year before.

"All indications point to the fact
that the finding OF the dead body
of Young "Dick Robson in pota-
to patch on his fathers farm in Au
dubon county, four weeks after his
mysterious disappearance from
home, was the result of one OF the
most cold-blooded murders ever
committed in the state. That
human life could be taken in some
foul manner, and the body kept in
hiding until such time as it suited
the purposes of the perpetrators to
place it where it could be found,
as every thing appears to strongly
indicate in this particular case,
seems impossible in this day and
age OF the world, but it happened;
and it is the duty of the officers OF
the law, the grand jury and all
good citizens to put forth every ef-
fort to find the murderer OF murder
ers, aud administer to them the full
penalty for the atrocious crime COM
mitted. The whole matter is shroud-
ed in mystery go deep that it seems
| impossible to penetrate 1T, and
while there is no known reason why
this young man should be so foul
| ly murdered, it is stated that there
are persons who live, move and
have their being, who know more
than they care to tell about the af-
fair. The Governor of the state
has offered the sum of $500. for the
arrest and conviction of the guilty
This should be met by a like
amount from Audubon county, and
if necessary, the people of thai
neighborhood can be counted or

swell the reward to figure suffici
ent to secure the services of mer
who have known regulations fol
going to the bottom of matters o
this kind, and bringing forth re
suits, and that, too, from quarters
least expected. Let the proper
steps be taken, and taken promptly
and let the probing process begin
and push it to the end, that justice
may be done.
