An automobile company is planning road between Tacoma and Seattle 10 be used by automobiles alone. The cost of the road, laid with shells, it is estimated will cost a million dollars, but the pro- moter believes it will be cheap enough at that. The time over such a road 1t is said between the two points would be within thirty minutes and that without dagger Automobiles would carry pas sengers on regular schedule at the same rate as the interurban, and for others toll would be charged, The road would be divided one of course, the machines travelling but one way on each division. It is an interesting proposition and indicates what the future is to see from coast to coast The future holds much of interest.

THE uGHT IS FORGED ON GOVERNOR
 SAINEFORD

Because of the temperate st temens and the uudoubtsd sircerlty of his views the utterauces of former governor Swineiord in his newspaper. the Hetch- ikaa Miner, carry more than ordinary weight. When. therefore, the Miner charged the editor ol The Alaskan with being influenced by personal hatred tc- ward Governor Hoggatt when this newspaper warned the republican con- veution that any man favored for the delegateship by Governor Hoggatt would be repudiated by the people of Alaska because such candidate must at least be under suspicion as to his sincerity in the matter of territorial government all the Hoggatt news papers took It up and made much of it.. That the Miner is coming to see he llght-the illumination being effected by the Hoggatt papers themselves The Alaskan is most pleased to note. Nor will it fail to give the Miners change Of attitude the same publicity that it's rather uncalled for roast was given by Governor Hoggatt's various newspapers. The Miner in its last issue says;
 "The Juneau Record quite recently referred to the gentlemen who were accorded seats in the republican na- tional convention os "the HOggatt dele gates." Iftbis characterization Of their official position and standing in a party or political sense be a correct one, then it must be accepted as true tbat the territorial body, or that end of it by which these delegates were chosen, was Hoggatt convention, dominated and controlled by the friends of that gentle man. and the candidate for delegate to congress nominated by it IS io all intents aud purposes a Hoggatt candidate, though its platform does not reflect the views and opinions of that gentleman on the all important question which is now at issue before the people Of AL aska."

WASH HIM EVERY DAY

Lady, have you got a baby?
 Wash him every day. Twill be a little trouble, maybe
 Wash him every day. Never mind the aftermath, Put him ln his little bath, In spite Of all his yells and wrath,
 Wash him every day, See that your pet is always clean,
 Wash him every day. Scrub him tiDl he shines with sheen,
 Wash him every day. Otherwise the kids will josh him, And microbes, they will come ant

 Wash him every day. Wash him, wash him every day,
 Always once a day Wash him any good old way,
 But wash him every day, Dump him in the vat and tub him, Douse him under, dear, and rub him, Let him squeal-proceed to scrub him
