WASKEY WAS
 TOO FAMILIAR

Washington, D. C., Feb 7.--Con- gressman Waskey of Alaska, is the most disappointed member of the last session of the Fifty-ninth con gress, for he finds himself up against a wall, and powerless to obtain any legislation for Alaska.
 While in Seattle, 1t is alleged, Delegate Waskey gave an interview to Seattle paper, in which he stat ed that Cannon was just his kind of a man, and that when he reached Washington he intended to have a heart-to-heart talk with Speaker Cannon. The speaker resents this alleged familiarity and while it Is explained that it was Delegate Gale who said it, the speaker Is not yet sufficiently acquainted with the member of congress from Alaska to make any distinction between them and he has given Congressman Was key no appointment on committees.
 The only interview Delegate Was key has succeeded in getting with Speaker Cannon was one in which the congressman asked for a place on certain committee, and, wnlle the speaker promised the appoint ment, he did not make it.
 Delegate Waskey says that he finds congress too exclusive for him, and he feels that there is little chance for him to get any .egisla- tion through it while he is a mem ber.

WEST AUSTRALIAN OUTPUT.

Special United States Government Agent Harry S Burrill, writing from Kalgoovlie under date of October 22, furnishes interesting facts re- garding the production of gold in Western Australia. He writes
 Gold is stlll to be found in abun- dance in Western Australia and con stitutes the states chief source of wealth. Since 1891, when practical ly the first discovery was made, there has been a constantly increas- ing output, with the exc option of 1900, 1904 and 1905, when the yield fell slightly below that of preceding years.
 Prior to 1898 the entire produc- ton amounted to approximately SPA, 100000, but in that year work was begun in earnest, with the re- suit that in the succeeding twelve months over s20,O0O.000 was taken out. In 1901 the value of the gold mines was $29,702,301; in 1902, $37, 7,029,924; in 1903, $40,565, 5,096; in 1904, $39, 9,562,008; in 190o, $3S,- 054,142, and up to May 31, of this year the yield amounted to $14,S14,' 964. For purposes of comparison and to show the position which Western Australia occupies in the world as a gold producing state, the igures of 1904, showing the yield

SLANG WAS NEEDED.

1t was a language lesson, and the teacher in one of the city schools had considerable troubel in making me boys understand the use of the word acceptance He tried sev- aral words, calling upon the bright ooys, but their explanations always left a feeling of uncertainty among other members of the class.
 It was quite clear that this word ,loes not form a part of an ordi- nary boys vocabulary, and to have 1t understood 1t must be related to d word which does belong there. Here was the psychological moment to use slang.
