GET BETTER NEWSPAPERS.
Difference in Newspapers Of Today
and Yesterday.

Like everything else, the cost OF
making a newspaper has increased
A dozen or so years the getting out
Of a newspaper was comparatively
inexpensive. Help was cheap, paper
was low, and less reading matter was
required. Today printers get so per
cent more in wages than they got IL
years ago.
The price of paper stock has risen
fully third and is still rising. The
introduction of the linotype into
the newspaper offices was felt to be
the downfall of compositors, but time
has shown that they are more cmfw
and women at work today on news
papers than ever before. The reason
is that newspapers give more for the
money than formerly; give more
reading and larger and better paper
in every way than was the~case in
former years.
There is nothing on the market that
people 50 much for their money as
they do in newspapers at the present
time. It is rich in news, full Of en-
tertainment indeed, a necessity for
the counting room, the store and the
home.

Lame White Swan of the navy
Equipped with triple expansion en-
gines, as she has now been for sew
eral years, there is probably no bet
ter second-class cruiser in commits
sion today. Her crews in the early
days were never well contented. The
desertions were many and the men
were constantly up to the mast for
various infractions Of discipline. on
the European cruise of 1S93-1S95
considerable friction existed between
some of the principal officers. and
just before that cruise half a dozen
marines got into a serious trouble
while on special duty ashore at La
Guayra, and were sent to the navy
prison in Boston. The officer of ma
rines was put on the retired list. as
he was believed to be partly at fault
for his men getting into the scrape.
THE Baltimore had much better
fortune. On the occasion of her de-
tail to carry to Sweden, his native
land, the hody of John Ericsson (who
might be called the father of the
battleship) a great ovation was given
the Baltimore, and a valuable souve-
mir medal commemorating the event
was presented by King Oscar to every
man on board, from the captain
down. No ship that sailed the seas
ever had a greater honor conferred
upon her. bearing as she did the
earthly remains of the greatest in
ventor in the history Of naval archi-
lecture"

AMERICAN NAVY HooDoos.
Ships in Uncle Sans Service Tha;
Have Been Unfortunate.

The return of the cruiser Baltimore
from what is said to be her last voy-
age as a fighting vessel of the navy
caused Carl Edwards to speak remin-
iscently. "She was one of the first
warships of the so-called White
squadron" he said, "to be built by
our government. She can not be con-
sidered as belonging to the 'hoodoo
class which includes the first Maine
the Philadelphia, and, to a certain ex-
tent, the Chicago and the Texas.
"rhe Maine, upon starting upon
her last cruise from the Brooklyn
navy yard, did not set lever with her
waterline. She was down by the
head which was regarded as an un-
lucky omen. 1t is not necessary to
relate her successive misfortunes,
concluding with her tragic end in Ha-
vana harbor, with which began one
of the interesting epochs in Ameri-
can history.
1.-THE Philadelphia, sister ship of the
Baltimore, was never sent far from
home waters. Originally square rig
ged, military masts we're substituted
on account of topheaviness. Good
management. coupled with good for
tune, prevented her from absolutely
turning turtle on more than one oc-
casion.
"The Texas was looked on as con-
siderable of a hoodoo until she re-
deemed her reputation at the battle
of Santiago. Prior to the Spanish
war, she partly sunk at the Cob dock
in Brooklyn owing to sea valve
working loose and flooding her al
most to the spar deck" A lovely
widow from New Jersey used to kick
the ceilings Of the Texas with the
tips of her toes, and every time she
made a clean touch lieutenant
marked the spot with a blue pencil.
The ships insides took on cerulean
hue.
"The Chicago" continued Mr.. Ed
wards, Though considered one of the
best built ships in the navy, and
thoroughly seaworthy, was continual
ly in misfortune on account Of defec-
tive machinery and boilers. She new
er made more than 10 or 12 knots
that being her fastest time consistent
with safety. noble ship to gaze
upon, the Chicago was called the

Wn1te Man VS.. indian.
When the territory was purchased
from Russia it was inhabited princi-
pally by Indians When the white
men came the Indian began to loa
his job. Before that time he was
hired by the Russians to fish for
them and to do many things The
white man took the place of the In
dian. He drove the latter out of the
finest fishing grounds. He staked
out mining claims around his hut and
hunting ground.
Conditions have now reached a
stage at which the Indian has resort
ed to the lowest possible means Of
obtaining a livelihood The white
man also brought with him from the
states all the vices of civilization,
disease naturally followed:
The morality standard Is extreme
ly low: Fathers desert tho'- th.- children
born in wedlock and leave them to
starve and perish in the cold. Last
year children died by the tens and
twenties. The situation is reaching an
alarming stage. The government
will do nothing, or at least has not
in the past. There appears to be no
law to stop this awful degradation. 1t
is for these little fellows without faith
er or mother that the orphanage
which | represent is working.
A Valuable AssetP
"Until life in Alaska assumes a
more civilized aspect and until the
or other influences step
in and raise the standard Of morality
and until Alaska's boys and girls are
saved from life of shame and des-
titution, the country will continue to-
be a burden on the hands of the Uni
ted States instead Of valuable as
set.

at Yakima. The lecture brings many
new economic and social facts and is
extremely entertaining
"Alaska" was the subject of an in
teresting lecture delivered last even
ing at the First Baptist church by
the Rev. Mr.. Learn who has charge
of the Baptist Orphanage at Kodiak
Alaska. says the Republic. To the
large audience present the noted mis-
sionary worker gave a graphic de-
scription of the great territory, its
resources and its people. In part he
said:
Although there is but little vegeta-
tion in Alaska, the day is fast COM
ing, / think, when the agriculture in
dustry win become a potent factor in
the industries of Alaska. In the
Copper river country, the land espe-
cially is adapted to agricultural pur-
suits and when the perennial gold
fever slackens bit there is every
possibility Of that country at least
raising enough to supply itself.
Eggs SIS Per Dozen.
Prices Of food stuffs are Of course,
fabulous. Last year a man in Circle
City had few hens. They laid eggs
which the captain Of industry sold
for SIS a dozen. He also had COW
or two. He used canned cream him
self and sold the milk for 81 quart.
Another man not far away raised
little hay. He sold his hay to the
man who had the COWS for 34O0 per
ton. Strange to say the dairyman
is not in the business at present writ
ing. Neither is he selling eggs be-
cause IN the winter time when the
sun refused to shine, his hens became
roosters. l tell this in passing that
you may learn something OF the price
OF food stuffs in that exceedingly rich
country.
When the territory Of Alaska was
purchased from Russia for S7,200,-
600 people thought Seward crazy.
They called It Stewards folly" The
islands in the Siberian sea have since
that time produced enough fur alone
TO pay for the entire territory and
more too. During the past two years
the fur industry Of Alaska has en-
riched the United States over $500
600. Since 1903 the salmon industry
has brought over $5O,000,00O TO the
United States. The mineral product
can hardly be estimated. But with
all this wealth, Alaska today is one

Continue improvements.

The announcement that the N or
folk d Western had made arrange :
ments TO borrow seven and q half
million dollars will be received here
with deepest interest. 1t will be
particularly interesting in view Of
the fact that this money is, from all
accounts, to be used for carrying
out the plan of improvements which
were started upon some time ago
and which was temporarily aus.
pended on account of the general
business depression.
A decision to borrow this large
sum of money was reached. go
1t Is stated, at meeting Of. the
board of directors held recently
in New York city.
Instead of issuing bonds for the
money, the Norfolk & Western will
issue two year notes. 1T is UNDER
stood that this plan was due to the
fact that the bond market is i'm
pretty bad shape and bonds Of no
corporation could be sold just now
to any special advantage. The notes
are for two years, and if the bond
market improves, which will more
than likely be the case before the
expiration of the two years, bonds
will be issued for the purpose OF
taking up the notes and retiring
them
With the seven and half million
dollars, the Norfolk * Western will
proceed to complete many import
ant improvements.-Exchange.

DENATURED
ALCOHOL
Local Commercial Club Will Pur.
~ehase Still and Manufacture
Denatured Alcohol.

The newly organized Commercial
club of Pullman is now perfecting ar
engagements for the installation of {
denatured alcohol plant in this city
President Bryan, chairman of the com.
mittee on denatured alcohol, is con.
Quoting the negotiations for the pur.
chase of large ''still, !" and if the
plans of the organization are carried
tDut, the plant will be in operation by
the time next seasons potato crop is
taken from the field. Discussing the
prospects for denatured alcohol, Presi-
dent Bryan said:
"For the past year the state exper-
iment station has had in hand the
matter of gathering information rela-
tive to the potato crop of both eastern
and western Washington. and the
practicability of utilizing this import
ant crop in the manufacture of dena-
tured alcohol. Careful analyses have
been made to determine the amount of
alcohol that potatoes of this region
will yield. We have found that one
hundred pounds of alcohol will produce
eighteen pounds of starch; that eighteen
pounds of starch will produce nine
pounds of alcohol, which, l believe,
sells at from Scots to 55cts per gallon.
At this rate, the alcohol from one ton
of potatoes would sell for about S18.
Alcohol can be made from the
small potatoes as we'll as the large
ones, and in this fact lies a source of
considerable saving to the farmers.
Also, waste fruit can be used, and
considerable success has been reported
from the use of corn, and even the
stalks. This denatured alcohol in
dustry should be taken seriously by
the farmers and business men of the
northwest, for it means the utilization
in profitable way of vast amount
of produce, such as small potatoes, off
grade wheat, waste fruits, ETC.. which
are now source of dead loss. -
