At the Alaska-Yukon Pacific ex.

At the Alaska a-Yukon-Pacific ex- position in 1909, the visitors will be able to have meals entirely of Alaska origin in . building that was . restaurant in the Nome and Dawson rush days, cooked and served entirely by native Alaskans, says the Seattle Times.
 The author of the idea is James Fish, Sr., of Valdez, a sourdough of the days of Circle City and 'S3. Mir. Fish has applied for a conces- sion for restaurant--uossibly more than one--and ho outlines & plan which the directors of the fair are inclined to look upon very favorably.
 Mir. Fish would bring to the fair and erect building and reproduce the signs, surroundings, etc., of a restaurant in the days of the great rush North. Nothing in it would be served except Alaskan food. Moose, caribou, salmon and all other kinds of fish, all kinds of ducks, vegetables of all kinds, and different kinds of fruit that are be- ing now grown in Alaska will be served. Even the bread will be made from wheat grown in the Northern district.
 In order to carry out his plan Mir. Fish and his sons have taken up 500 acres of land in the Solo, mon valley, near Valdez. There he is planting all kind of vegeta- bles and fruits and cereals that can be grown in the North. The farm will be profitable apart from the fair. Mir. Fish calculates, and as he has money to spend, he hopes apart from the profit element that his farm will 80 demonstrate to the world the ability of Alaska to be eelf-supporIing that many others will start farms and ranches in the Solomon valley, which is the best adapted land for tho growing of necessities, in all the North.
 The natives of Alaska are the best cooks in the world, is the claim of Mir. Fish. He figures having them cook in the restau- rant, and will bring south Indian maidens from different parts of the country who will do the serving in their native costumes.

Wealth is largely 8 matter of opportunity. Alaska is oppor- tunity. What has been won from this Land of Gold, is but prelim- mary or preface to the vaster and greater wealth that lies still buried beneath her cold soil. The oppor- tunities Of Alaska are open to all.

TRAMP HOUSE BREAKERS.
Seaside Has Gang and A Bold Dem
onstratiou.

IL IL very evident that the "house-
breaking club Of Seaside has not yet
been abandoned.
Last Saturday evening several ladies
weent down to spend over Sunday at
Tomma,' Zen Youngs cottage.
All unsuspeeting the ladies approached
the cotiage which showed no signs Of
having been disturbed since their pre-.
yious visit.
Upon opening the door however what
was their surprise to find set forth upon
the best parlor table the remains Of
a "Iiooligan" fegst.
Several cans OF delicscies kept espe.
eially by Mr. Young to celebrate his
birthday, which IL always held at the
the beach, and On the fourth of July,
had been disposed Of, and also other
victuals.
The tramp- se@ned to have made
themselves quite at home and left moth.
ing but disorder behind to tell the
story.
No uneasiness was felt on the part
OF the ladies however for they were all
well armed with revolyers and had
there been any attempts at house.
breaking during their stay, the intrud-
ers would have received a warm re.
ception and nobody would have worked
but the coroner.
The loss was not much but what puz.
zled Mr.. Young was their idea of get
ting into the cottage by way Of win
dows when tie key would have been
sent for 50 easily lie wishes it known
that the keys open the cottage, but be.
ware Of consequences.

MAN PROBABLY CRAZY.

PORTLAND, Or. April 9.-"You sens
man to Astoria to kill me, so you could
keep. my money, but yon can't do it,
said P. W. Crout to J. n. McFeron In
the Oregon Savings Bank.
Mr.. McFeron was startled, but did NOT
show it.
II want my money" continued Crout,
"and il don't get it will kill some
one"
Crout was decidedly angry. He had
had an account in the Oregon Savings
Bank. but officers of that institution
say it was closed some time ago. When
he appeared at the paying teller's win
dow the bookkeeper looked up the ae.
count and found blank. He told Crout
and the man became bosterous.
In the noiseless way that the banks
have policemen summoned and of
ficer Courtney took Crout into custody
When he was searched an unloaded re-
volver was found on him. He was taken
to the station and locked up on the
charge of disturbing the peace.

NEWSPAPERS DEMAND.
That Precinct Assessment Rolls Be Pub
lished in Nearest Paper.

Newspaper men in Oregon viii de.
mand that the assessment rolls of each
precinct be published in the newspa-
per nearest the property assessed. The
legislative committee of the Oregon
Press Association i in session in Port
land and will formulate certain ques.
tions to be asked candidates before the
primary elections.
Among those present are J. C. Hay
ter, OF the Dailes Observer; Frank
Davey Of Salem; and Editor Moorhead
Of Junction Cit.
"The Oregon Press Association has
never made any demands of the Legis-
lature, but we are now looking after
our own interests" said Mr. Moor
housc.
A great many legal notices can be
posted under the prevailing laws on
walls of buildings. These notices
would better serve the purpose by be-.
ing run in the papers We ask that
this step be taken BY the next legis-
lature.
"We believe equal taxation may be
reached by publishing the assessment
rolls where people interested can see it
before taxpaying time. At Salem the
Statesman was assessed $1,000 on its
plant last year. The owners found that
several manufacturing plants where
just as much material was assessed at
$1,000.
Complaint was made. and the val
uation of these raised to $1,000, while
that of the Statesman was cut down to
$1,000. This is an Illustration of what
publishing the assessment rolls of each
precinct will do in equalizing assess
ments."
