The Commonwealth, an illustra- ted weekly published at Seattle, devotes the front page of recent issue to write-up of the Spring Prospectsin Our Northern Empire" " in which it devotes considerable space to Valdez and the Copper River valley. Several extracts are made from the booklet published by the Valdez Chamber of Commerce, and the article is embellished by a large half tone picture of the town. The booklets are doing their work of attracting attention to this sec ton of Alaska.

Favorable report has been made at Washington on the bill appro- priating $250.000 to build wagon road from Valdez to Eagle City, There is hardly a project now be- fore the public, unless it be that oi railroad, that would accomplish so much for the development of central Alaska.-Mining Journal.
 In our efforts to secure legisla- tion from the national government for the construction of wagon road to the interior of the country it is pleasing to note that all Alas kans are with us. The true Alaskan the one who is at home here. is anxious for the advancement of the country and is fully aware that the development of any section tends toward the development of the whole. The only Knocks we hear are from men living in Seattle and other points who profess to know all about the country but who in fact have never seen it.

The company's prospectus, bound in
chocolate colored covers and adorned
with the imprint of an Africans head
on the cover, says that race prejudice
is an expensive luxury, and that preju-
dice can be made SO expensive that it
will become impractical. The prospec-
tus urges Negroes to cooperate with
one another to the end that C'wner,
agent and tenant may all be colored.
The company owes its cooperate
existance to short-lived war between
white landlords and colored tenants
in 135th street some six months ago
Many of the men who are in this COM
pany were then conducting a realty
business under the name OF the Afro
American Realty Co, but it was not
incorporated When the white land
lords began evicting their tenants,
these men Immediately bought several
blocks of tenements on the opposite
side of the street, and began evicting
the white tenants, and putting the
svicted colored folks in their pla ces.

Three colored girls arrived in Allie
gheny yesterday from the extreme
southern part of South Africa to study
culinary art and domestic science.
The girls expect to acquire knowledge
in the modern methods of housekeep-
ing and cooking which will apply at
their homes.
The girls have arranged to take
complete course in the domestic
science of the Avery Trades School and
College, Nelson and Avery streets, AL
legheny. Their names are L. Rocco.
Alfredo Blucklick and Army Onetti.
They are each about twenty years cid
and are typical South Africans.
The new arrivals, who are eager to
obtain the secrets of the American
women in cooking, are natives OF Port
Elizabeth, on Algoa Bay, Cape Town.
They are possessed of an elementary
education but beyond the crude meth
DDS taught them by their country
women they have no knowledge of the
modern methods Of cooking and keep
ing house.
In South Africa the colozed house
wife who is successful in tickling the
palate OF her husband or guests with
her cooking is looked upon as some
thing more than a queen in her pro
vince They will be taught cooking
1sin all its branches at the Avery col
lege.
The girls are the first natives of
Africa to be enrolled a. the Avery
Trades School and College. They will
finish their studies at the end of next
June, after which they will return to
Port Elizabeth.-PiHsbHrO Times.

Darkest just before dawn" seems
to be as true in the political world as
it is in the change of night to day.
The discouraged feeling that has pre-
vailed in many states and localities is
now giving way to stronger faith and
brighter prospects. There are more
men today who believe in the doc
trines taught in the Omaha platform
than ever before. Porulists in 1897,
1896 and 1900 are stronger in the faith
in 1904. They are men who have a
reason for the faith within them.
They are grounded on eternal prin-
ciples of truth and can be depended
upon in every conflict. Who ever
heard of a "backslider' among the
followers of Peter Cooper? The mem
bers of the farmers Alliance and
other kindred organizations are still
loyal and ready to cooperate for re-
form. Thousands of the rank and
file among the republicans are tired OF
railroad and other trusts domination
and are ready to join with party
that stands for the government OWL
ership- and operation Of the railroads.
All these classes are locking to the
Springfield convention to point the
way to success,
Independent readers are active III
every locality. If they continue the
educational work vigorously there is
no doubt that every state will have a
representative delegation at the con-
vention. Why not join in the work?
Send your order for block of five
educational cards and send in club
of new readers at the special eduea-
tional rate Of 5 months for Is celts.
Every Peter Cooper populist should
have bunch of these cards in his
pocket all the time. Let no populist
escape; see that he TAX IS trial sub
scription to The Independent.

Others who are in the work. Why not
have your name added to the list!
