The reason why some men yell like Indians when using the telephone is a thing which cannot be understood. Of course it may be that they forget about the wire, and, in their minds, go back to primitive methods. No matter what is the reason, though, it is de- cidedly obnoxious habit and one which can easily be broken. How? Well, by talking into the transmitter and not by it's side or over it and also by using a conversational tone. An auctioneer, it should be remembered, is all right in his place, but his place is not at the telephone.

Several of our prominent citizens have received telegraphic communica- tions from Ex,G Gov. John G. Brady, urging them to give financial aid to a proposed electric railroad from Valdez to the interior of Alaska. While local interest will not induce many here to aid such an enterprise, yet, when it comes to the welfare of Alaska as a whole, it may be that some such move will be necessary. Promoters, copper kings, coal kings, duces and trays are all mixing more or less in the railroad schemes that have increased until their name is legion. Stocks and bonds, prayers for government aid, and "fav orable legislation" have all fourished and faded, until it looks to an outsider as if the desire is for delay. It is hint ed that there may be reason for that. Meanwhile, vast tracts of coal land are unopened, copper properties are un- touched, and the great interior coun- try suffers for the want of the relief few hundred miles of railroad would give. Alaska is waiting for the rail road company that means business, right straight from the shoulder.

All of us have countless experiences. There is disappointment and realiza- tion, and hours that bring smiles or tears. But no matter how many there are, ever so many more keep coming, and no one is exactly like any of the others. Most all of these experiences are good for us.

The young man who gets on goes out and starts something. The one who has an idea and acts ou that idea scores, as a rule. At least he has a chance, and that is more than the one who waits for "sometbing to turn up" has in hundred years. Opportunity may knock once at every door, but the fellow who waits for opportunity to come inside and get him might as well prepare to end his days in waiting.
