Men Wanted in Alaska

Just now when there are SO
many unemployed men in this
country it seems that it will be
interesting to many people to learn
of the demand for laborers and
miners in the Tanana district in
Alaska.
Mr.. Chas. E. Peabody, president
Of the Alaska Steamship company,
with which has, been consolidated
the Northwestern Steamship COM
pany, advise that the Tanana dis
trict is short between 1900 and
5000 men for mining work.
The route into that country is by
way of Valdez, and sailings OF the
Alaska Steamship company from
Seattle occur about every eighth
day. Passenger fares from Seattle
to Valdez are: First class $500
steerage $500.

Fair Will BE Held in 1909

Seattle, Jan. 29.-Owing to a
slight rumor that the Alaska
Yukon-Pacitic exposition is going
to be postponed, caused by the re-
cent financial furry, the executive
committee of the 1909 fair has
passed the following resolution: 1T
is the unanimous sense of the
members of the executive commit
tee that the Alaska Yukon Pacific
exposition be held at the place and
time hitherto planned-Seattle. U.
S. A., from June to October Is,
1909"

nounces that there is plenty of
money on hand with which to carry
on the work, and that money for
stock is coming in all the time.
Word received from Washington,

HI. McGraw and Director of Elk

that congress is looking with favor
on the exposition. The appropria-

paid for this mileage book.
The railroads say that if the
rule of the commission is enforced
by the courts they will retire their
miltage books. Commissioner j.
G. Lawrence has stated that the
retirement of mileage books will
probably be followed by the issu-
ance of an order by the commits
sion for a hearing on the subject
of reducing passenger rates at d
cents mile.
The railroads can if they will,
avoid the controversy by issuing
mileage book like that recently
put out by the O. R. & n, where
the mileage coupons are designated
in cents, and the conductors are re-
quired to pull only the regular fare
between stations, instead of cou-
pons representing the actual mile

Citizens of the northwest who
have advanced sums ranging from
$50 to $1OO in the hope Of obtain
ing valuable timber lands in South
ern Oregon at $3.50 an acre will
receive rude awakening by a
communication from the general
land office at Washington to land
Offices throughout the United

Under the representation that
the California & Oregon Railway

of it's original land grant from the
government to sell to bona fde
settlers any part of holdings in
Southern Oregon at $3.50 an acre,
number of promoters have had
agents in various parts of the
Northwest taking applications from
unsuspecting persons for the pur-
chase of these lands from the rail

Agents Of the promoters, several
OF whom had headquarters at Rose

advance was for the purpose Of
making the necessary legal ap.
plication through the courts. Il

: Restore Homestead piahts

Washington, D. c.. Jan. 13.-The bill
recently reported by the house commit
tee on public lands, permitting all per.
sons who, through any cause, have
failed to prove up on previous home
stead entries, passed the house today,
with an amendment excluding those
cases where fraud has been proven, or
where the entryman's rights have been

The passage and approval of this bill
by the president will allow many per-

Rules For Rioht Eating.

The rules for eating, which ought to
be a part Of every child's A B Cs,
are few and simple, though neglected
by half Of the adult population.
Expressed in don'ts, they are:
Don't eat in hurry; don't eat when
tired; don't forget to chew well; don't
drink much with meals-do it before
don't eat all one kind of food; don't
take much cold food at one time.
Most of us live as If unconscious
that there are such things as laws OF
health whose violation brings pain and
sickness. The stomach will bear as
much abuse and neglect as any organ
Of the body, perhaps more than most
Of them. But when it rebels there Is
usually one more cross dyspeptc In
aicted on society and destined to spend
the rest of his days alternating pc
tween a diet Of soft eggs and toast and
sundry excursions into mince pies, pork
and cabbage and other things that ne
likes. but which make him miserable.

4 Cabby Stunu,

INSCRIPTIONS Wiles Of the British cabby,
who basely takes advantage of the
strangers want Of familiarity with
English idiom, coinage and locality.
We have heard of the intelligent for
eigner being driven about six statute
miles in a journey from London bridge
to Charing Cross. That cabby got the
best Of the transaction, but a recent
attempt to impose upon foreign ere
dulity was frustrated cleverly by son
Of Gaul, whose taste for joking led him
to try to bambOozle a cabby into at
tempting it with him. He demanded
In exceedingly broken English to be
driven to certain place, the fare to
which was exactly shilling. It may
be remarked that he really could speak
English as well as he could his moth
or tongue. On arriving at his destina-
ton he asked, still in a struggling fash
fon:
"'Ow mooch ave to payr
give shillings," promptly responded
the cabby.
"And low mooch is 5 shillingsf'
Queried the traveller, taking out three
half crowns and laying them across his
palm.
"Them three's right" said the cabby,
pointing to the coins.
"Ohw said the Frenchman. Then.
dropping his assumed imperfect ac-
auaintance with the vernacular, "Well,
here's a bob for YOU" he said and de-
parted, leaving his erstwhile jehu
standing with a perplexed expression
on his face which took some time to
disappear.-London Tit-Bits.

Railway passenger rates through
out this state may be cut to p
cents a mile, unless the Great
Northern either retires its mileage
book or changes their form, and
this the railroad company refuses
to do, says the Spokane Chronicle.
The contest. which will prob
ably be tried in the courts, has
arisen over q rule which the COM
mission has promulgated, and
which the Great Northern refuses
to. obey. The order in question
requires railway companies in
dealing with mileage books to in
struct their conductors to pull only
such number of coupons as would
be equivalent at 8 cents to the
regular fare.
One instance is that the exact
distance between Seattle and
Olympia is 70 miles, which would
cost passengers, at 3 cents a mile,
lust 1919. The railroads, to meet
competition, charge $3.50 a trip,
When. however. q man is travelling
on mileage, the conductor pulls 73
miles. The commission rules that
he must pull only 60 miles, in or
der to give the man owning the
mileage the benefit of the rate OF q

they said, demand would be made
upon the railroad and, according
to the terms of the original grant,
the company would be compelled
to grant the application and the
Finvestor would obtain for $3.50
lands worth thousands Of dollars
The first advance of $50 would be
necessary to cover the legal ex-

As far AS known the promoters
# the scheme have made the first
applications TO the courts and have
thus carried out the deal sufficiently
to put themselves beyond the pos

recovery of any money advanced.
According 10 men versed in land
rulings there is no chance for the
purchases to he completed as the
original grant contains no such
clause as advertised by the pro-
motors. 1t is also true that in
making the application to the
court and playing the small fee
needful the promoters carry out all
demanded Of them by law and the
rest of their percentage OF the ad-

A GENIUS IN SHORTHAND.
Mrs. Bryan Has Her Own stsno'

Mrs. William Jennings Bryan Is the

there Is nothing impractical about the
method, for she has proved its value
In acting as secretary to her husband.
or course In the event Of Mrs. Bryan
becoming the mistress Of the White
House she will resign the work to a
stnff Of secretaries OF the Loeb order,
but 1t Is safe to predict that not a man
win be found to give the same satis.
faction to the great commoner Mrs.
Bryan's system is the growth OF a
dozen years or since the stirring day
In 1896 when her husband won his
FIRST presidential nomination by his
cross Of gold" speech, At that time
the Bryan purse was SO lean II denied
the luxury of a paid secretary. and
Mrs. Bryan elected herself to the pest
At FIRST the work was slow and dis
couraging but gradually Mrs. Bryan In.
vented a stenographie code until now
she easily follows her husband In his
swiftest moments. Bryan is one Of
the quickest takers before the public.
and his wife's success seems almost
impossible to expert users of the Pit
man and other standard systems.
Only one professional stenographer
has been found equal to the task Of
reporting accurately all Of Bryan's
words on the platform. and this man is
out to harder strain than Mrs.
Bryan. Every morning after breakfast
Mrs. Bryan takes dictation from her
husband; then when he busies himself
with other duties she runs typewriter
with nimble flngers, 1t has been said
that Mrs, Bryan has refused large
amount Of cash for 4 complete chart
Of her system, the chief merit of which
lies in its simplicity.

Breed and Variety.


The distinction between breed and
variety Is not always remembered
says the Farmers Advocate, Some OF
the editors OF poultry papers use the
two words INTERCHANGEABLE; but, ac-
tording 10 the standard OF perfection,
the two words are entirely distinct.
The word breed applies to any class
OF poultry. such as Plymouth Rocks,
Wyandottes, Cochins, Brahmas. Leg,
horns, orplngtons. etc. while the word
variety denotes the different divisions
OF these breeds. Thus the Plymouth
Rock "breed" is divided into the three
varieties" Barred. White. Bun. The
Barred Rock is not breed, but IS a
variety of the Plymouth Rock breed.
II Is not correct 10 speak Of the Buff
Cochin breed, but the Bun Cochin va.
rlety. the other Cochin varieties being
the White, Partridge and Black.
These four varieties make up the one
Cochin breed.

II viii be needless to express ourselves
In such grandlloquent phrase as "Chil-
dren, Journey home and behave your

happy mean between the vulgar and
the stllted, and correct and informal
speech will fall upon chlldhood's ear

mon. AS a matter OF fact a little
slang is an excellent thing. but in tho
present era OF slang moro than the
smallest quantity is a great deal too
much. The English language may
fairly be said 10 be the most pic
turesque and most expressive In the
world, and IL does not need the YER
biage OF the Stun or even the catch
words and catch phrases of the street

rule, tho use OF slang Is indicative more
Of paucity OF thought and idea than Of
susceptibility TO the humorous and the
graphic. IL we tell our friend ito get
ON to his Job" ito get on TO himself"
ito get busy" ITO get a move on or
any one Of a hundred other things, we
certainly reveal our tendency to move
with the tide Of the hour. but at the
same time we clearly show that we
are more initiative than original. We
speak slang frequently through sheer
laEiness. II was the last word in the
mouth Of a companion. and 1t becomes
the next word in ours. II is echoed
by the speaker, the teacher by the lee
turer, by the writer. but with rare ex-
ceptions II never becomes anything
but slang. After all. II is only the best
OF slang that survives, but even then
we need not excuse ourselves for be-
coming proficient in its use. We
should think OF the present as we'll as
the future. Why use slang when we
can speak the speech Of our heritage
equally well? Why become the blind
leaders OF the blind?
