TELLING ABOUT ALASKA

In the September number of the Jamestown magazine are two articles designed to promote interest in the Alaska-Nukou-Pacifce exposition. The articles were written by two of Seat ties cleverest newspaper men, James A. Wood. commisSiouer-general of the Seattle fair to Jamestown, and Lloyd ". Mcdowell, secretary of the con- mission. Mir. McDowell's article gives an array of interesting facts about the territory which are calculated to stag ger the credulity of eastern readers, although written with absolute fidelity to the truth.
 NIr. Wood describes the plans for the exposition and notes the fact that neither the year, nor the opening nor closing date commemorates any par ticular historical event, which serves as a reminder that the exposition is planned 10 close on October l5. It seems not to have occurred to anybody that it ought Co be extended to include Alaska October IS.

DOG DAYS DOINGS
 ON MORRIS AVENUE

adorn places that use statuary inspite of statutes. MT. Gisccopazzi, the excel lent Italian citizen and kind man to dogs and men in distress, pays Blacks tax annually.
 Don't you think Black hasn't any friends He is one of the most respect ed and beloved inhabitants of the lane; everybody speaks well of him, except the army of rats who infest the pro- duce houses in this entreport of Bir- ming's green and raw food supply.
 During the day Black makes regular rounds into the different wareh ouses, store rooms and offices along Morris avenue. searching for the junk steal ers," who destroy hundreds of dollars worth of stuff. He does not. like the sanitary inspector knock to be admit ted, but he walks back into the quiet section among barrels, boxes, crates or coops. If you hear him bark its sign to the thief to "come out" and he will certainly have to come. Its a very lucky rat that knows the short way home if Black does not command it, Black most always gets them.
 It is in the still hours of the night that the dog policeman does his heavy work. Rats get thirsty or go visit ing or seek some store that has recent arrival of stuff to their taste. tratskiller" work to the highest ef- fectiveness. Any morning along Nor ris avenue may be found the corpses

wealth of loyalty, devotion, power of self sacrifice For the symbol implies ab- sence and presence, pain and joy.
 In the same way does the cup stand Cor us as a reminder of charity even unto self-immolation and death, from the cup of cold water offered unto the least of the little ones to the cup which could not pass away until 1t had become the cup of the saeramental commemoration OF the world.
 The use, then, of the symbol is to stim- ulate emotion, to remind us of those trail ing clouds of glory of which nowhere. in the dim backward and abysm' of his mind each man Is vaguely aware The height of the significance of a dog ma must depend upon the zeal with which one has trodden the path toward the goal. There are many ways that lead thereto; but as one gets farther from the sensuous the paths are straight and steep, and silence and isolation attend one one either hand.
 Let the symbol, then. do it's work to each mind according to the minds own need. Is it not arrogant to presuppose our own way the only one or the best? What man, indeed. can be farther from God than that limited one who attempts to interpret Gods mind? In fear and trembling in aspiring and renewed effort, we listen, listen for the command. so- lacing but not judgngly, lest indeed we shal be judged again.

They all know the rat catcher, They all know his name; They all know Black dog,
 That lives in Morris lane.

This story is about the doings of d dog during the long days, and night, too.
 "Black" is the most interesting and popular resident of Morris avenue. He came there to make his home few short years ago and he is fixture. He follows anybody and everybody on Morris avenue that notices him; every body on the avenue pets him, but he cannot be tolled farther than one block away by even those who know him most intimately that is, those he takes food for or keeps the nights vigils in company with.
 Good dog Black has a sorrow behind him, verify a tragedy At the time of the Tyler Grocery Co.'S fire on Morris avenue, about three or four years ago, Blacks mother and three of the same litter as himself were burned up. Black was the only member of that doggone family to escape.
 Although Black acts a policeman in the matter of not only catching rat ty creatures of Morris avenue, but quickly trying, convicting and eXecut- Ing them with a grip and shake of the head. he has to pay the dog tax not as a license, but just for being dog, and not inhorn gamblers to

CARNEGIE LIBRARY
FOR AMERICUS
Board of Trade Takes
Initial Step.

The Americus Board of Trade
wants a Carnegie Library for Amer
icus, one that will cost about $4,000,
To that end there was appointed a
committee at the Tuesday night
meeting, composed of Messrs. Frank
Harold, Frank Lanier, Charles
Council and Secretary Pruitt, whose
business it will be to secure all pos
sible information, solicit subscrip-
tions, and go before the Mayor and
Aldermen with a plea that the Getty
make a contract with Mr.. Carnegie
for the erection here of a library
building.
At the meeting Tuesday night Sec.
Pruitt read letter from Mr.. Carne-
gie's private secretary, setting forth
the conditions under which library
could be obtained, and requesting de-
tailed information as to Americus
and its existing library.
Mr.. Carnegie's plan, as is generally
known, is to put up building based
on the amount the municipality will
guarantee yearly for its support If
Americas is to have a $4,000 build
ing, it will be necessary for the mu-
nicipaI government to guarantee ST.
900 yearly for the maintenance of a
public library.
1t is proposed by the Board of
Trade to raise this $4,000 by sub
scription among the citizens. 1t is
believed that all,-or at least the
greater part of the $2,000-can be
raised in this way and guaranteed to
the city government.
The present library association has
a large and admirably situated lot
on Jackson street, and the nucleus of
a good library.
The committee appointed Tuesday
night will begin securing information
at once and will also sound the bus
mess men and others on subscrip-
tions. 1t is not proposed to go be-
fore Council until the matter is well
in hand, andi may be a month or
two before the committee will appear
with it's petition and arguments in
favor of municipal support for the
library project.
