Well, girls, probably for two OF
three reasons. A girl who is thus
honored by the sufrages Of her mates
is a popular person. She has not gone
around with chip on her shoulder
She has never made enemies by I'M
lucky speeches. She does not make
fun Of her friends, nor indulge in wit
at their expense. This is ON the mega
tive side Of the question.
On the affirmative side the popular
girl has lost no opportunity to dc
little kindnesses at the right moment
She speaks cordially Of the absent
She performs graceful services gra

the female invasion in teaching
than in other prof essions. Men are not
SO Jealous Of their supremacy in this
profession as elsewhere. Teaching is dis
tinctly less attractive to men than law

freedom is more restricted. These rea-
sons explain why women are more

profession than in others

One of the largest, if not the very
largest, enterprises yet undertaken on
Seward peninsula will be in full swing
early next spring, says the Nome Mug

building of railroad from Port Clar.

and the building Of a town on the
north shore of Port Clarence bay.
John Rosene, of the Northwestern
Steamship Company, has purchased

Nome trade. The vessel is owned by
the international Merchantile Marine
Company and for number of years
was operated between Philadelphia and
European ports. The, Pennsylvania will
leave the Atlantic in few weeks, COM
ing out by way of Cape Horn. The
Pennsylvania is 343 feet in length, with
a beam of 43 feet. The gross tonnage
is 3,343. Secretary Trenholme says
that the vessel will have accommoda-
tions for 200 first class passengers and
about 600 intermediate passengers.
Mr.. Godfrey Chealander, who is hand
ing the preliminary canvass on behalf
of the holding of an Alaskan exposition
in Seattle in 1907, takes occasion to say
that Seattle will be expected toicontrib-
ute literally to the exposition, and
should get behind it and make it sue
cess. 1t is quite safe to say that Seat
tle will do just this thing. For the
present, the matter is in the hands of
the people of Alaska. 1t is their expo
sition and it would be unwise for Sc
attic to press itself forward too much
in the matter. The matters to be de-
termined are whether the people of AL
aska want such an exposition and
whether they want it held in Seattle.
When these points are determined, Sc
attic can be relied on to do the rest.
On the surface, there is an appear
anee of incongruity in the suggestion
of holding an Alaskan exposition out
side of the borders Of the Northern
district. The incongruity is altogether
on the surface, however. Seattle is the
gateway of Alaska and, under present
conditions of development Of transpor-
tation facilities, it is more easily &C
cessible to people in all parts of Alas
ka than is any one point within the
limits of the district. Moreover, an
exposition held at Seattle would be-
yond all question attract many more
visitors, be viewed by infinitely more
people, and thus would further the
main purpose, the advancement of the
interests of Alaska, more than could an
exposition held in any Alaska city.
However, the selection ofSeattle as the
place of holding the exposition should
be made by the Alaskans themselves,
and the selection should not be forced
upon them by Seattle people. Seattle
is willing and anxious to do its part, If
so selected. With this matter once
settled absolutely, start will be made.
Mr.. Chealander's present estimate is
that Seattle should contribute 100000
for the purpose of the exposition.
There should not be the slightest diff
ficulty in securing this amount. Con-
sidering what Portland has done with
the Lewis and Clark exposition, the
sum fixed for Seattle's contribution is
a modest one. With assurance that
the people of Alaska are favorable to
the scheme, it will be taken in hand at
once.-Seattle P.-I.

home to roost.

That the section of the Alaska cable
stretching between Seattle and Sitka
is comparatively worthless, and that
within short time this entire cable
will have to be discarded and replaced
by a new wire at a cost to the govern
ment of more than S50O,O0O, is the
opinion of those who are in closest
touch with such matters.
Game laws for Alaska seem to have
no effect on the mighty sportsmen who
kill for the fun of the thing, A Seattle
paper tells of three professional sports
men who recently returned from Alas
ka, and says; SIN proof of their Prov

horns of deer, elk, moose and mountain
sheep, besides the pelts."
Teck and Banter of Sunrise, who
located extensive coal property on the
Matanuski river, at the head of Cook
inlet, have recently bonded the same to
what is locally known as the Watson
Company for twenty-five thousand, five
hundred dollars. The purchase is sup
posed to be made in the interest of the
Alaska Central Railroad.
There is every promise of an extra
heavy travel over the all-American
route between Valdez and Fairbanks
during the coming winter, Not only
the people in Fairbanks but the peo-
pie in the states who are interested in
the Tanana metropolis are looking to
Valdez to provide the means of getting
to and from the interior.
During the season just closed the
White Pass steamers operating be-
tween Whitehorse and Dawson carried
down stream total of 25,385 tons of
freight. Of the above amount 1918
tons of dead freight, 1883 cattle, 2916
sheep, 223 hogs, 65 horses and 73 calves
went to Dawson. While the figures for
the passenger traffic for this season are
not yet complete, they will show that
the number of passengers carried down
stream this year will fully equal that
of last year which was 2232.

"And there is another thing to be
counted on, and that is the embroidery.
Few of the winter garments but have a
little embroidery upon them and some
have a great deal. Embroidery, some
how, affords the distinctive touch which
is needed; it is the one stroke Of ele-
gance which makes the gown different
from other gowns. 1t takes very little,
but that little is very necessary.
"Then there is another thing to be
counted in and that is the extra ma
terial. All the street dresses this sea-
son are made with two coats. There is
the little embroidered Elton and the
three quarter coat. The three-quarter
coat is tight-ftting and comes down
below the knees. It is an elegant thing,
lined and finished right up to the very
top notch of beauty. The little Elton,
on the other hand, is a lighter coat,
tho none the less elegant: It is designed
for warmer days and for ceremonious

the frost is in the air, but what are
you going to do when Dame Fashion
says yes. The winter shirt waist,
which should be a very heavy flannel
affair, is light as a feather and thin as
zephyr. It is not even wash waist,
for it is too thin and delicate to en-
dure the tub. It is a waist for nice af-
fairs and waist for delicate use. Yet
it is so becoming that woman is wearing
it every day Of her life.
With the very plainest Of the tailor

of lace which is lined with chiffon and
under the chiffon there is lining of
tafeta; the whole is sometimes boned and
interlined with second lining of taffe-
ia to make it firm, for it must fit as
perfectly as tailor-made.
In the lingerie waist fads there are
several things to be noted and these
are largely of foreign origin! The shirt
waist originated in this country, but
the French modiste has taken it up and
has made it perfect.
All lingerie lace for shirt waists is
now lined with eithe silk muslin or a
substitute or with chiffon. This makes

Women who have old half worn white
lace waists left over from last summer
can take them and make them very
smart for winter by cutting off the
sleeves to bridge length, which is just
above the elbows. The sleeves can be
finished with band Of cream colored
chiffon velvet, put around the elbow,
and finished with little ruffe of lace.
Around the neck there can be a finish
to make it suitable for evening. The
throat can be cut square and into the
square neck there can be set a square
of lace. This can have tiny little
piping Of velvet, put on around the
lace in such a way as to- finish the neck
becomingly. Or the neck can be cut
square and left exposed, according to
one g tastes in this matter, but it is not
good form this winter to cut the neck
too low.
Lingerie waists are worn over a color.
The waist, which is thin and so deli
cate that it shows its lining under
meath, is worn over pale pink, light
blue, pastel chrome or a nile green.
The effect is not that Of color, but
rather that Of family tinted material,
very pretty effect, by the way.

Hatpins are more carefully matched
to millinery than ever, and the vogue
of amethyst and yellow has made the

does not affect many changes in head
gear, is now seen wearing many silver
pins, differing yet corresponding, which
look well in all hats, but are particu-
larly good in black. AS many. as half
a dozen are worn i'm one hat.
New dress inventions are constant
cause for marvel at the ingenuity Of
somebody, the somebody by the way
usually proving to be man, which
shows there still is field Of industry
which women have practically all before

Irish linen dexterously inserted between
a double weave to increase the dura-
bility Of knees, heels and toes. A spiral
hatpin is a novelty which consists Of a
three waved pin set into the head by
means of a spring. The pin is said to
be an improvement on the ordinary
straight ones in holding the hat firmly.

You can take an old lingerie white
waist and dye it to delicate pink. This
is favorite trick of those who wear
these waists all the time. A waist that
is dream in chiffon and fine muslin, all
combined in one glorious whole, is worn
until soiled. It is then dipped, lace and
all, and dyed to a faint pink. Again
the waists are dyed to cafe au lait,
