In describing the sagacity of Alaskan malamute dogs, the Whitehorse Star is credited with the following. Probably Mir Roosevelt will not believe that in the spring of 1900 a malamute dog stole a ham from a cache in Dawson which was located on stilts twelve feet high, but It did. The weather was very cold and the dog, by blowing it's breath upon the post, caused steps to freeze, on which it was enabled to climb up to where the ham was stored. Ii Teddy does not believe this. the ham bone is still in Dawson as evidence. The writer has eaten soup from that same identical ham bone in the Dawson restaurants dozens of times.
 It is said that couple of local young men, embryotic mariners, took a small rowboat and started to get some eyer. else. After rowing until the sweat was started, without making any headsay, lady on shore told them their painter was still fast ashore. One of them took in the line and they started off again, bending to the oars until they were both black in the face, when the lady again told them the boat was anchored. The young men gave us s5 not to say any thing about it in the paper, so we will refrain from mentioning names. Ifyou wish the full particulars, ask Dr. Emery or Sergt. McNurney, both of whom were there at the time mentioned.

ROMAN, HE PAYS THE BILL

With several thousand dollars of John Romans money, and with Fremont King and Chas. Deppe as his guests. Chas. Cosgrove of ketchikan last week made a sensational voyage around Prince of Wales Island, ostensibly to do little campaigning for Roman, but primarily to get signers to a petition for having the mail route changed. While he and his party were at Wrangell the Roman ducats were put into circulation quite rapidly, but the master of exchequer left local partisan to pay for the dis tribution of the bills,
 Ketchikan was ever fortunate. We of Wrangell can nr. fozget Ketehikan's charitable action at the time of the big fire of 1906, when people of that town sent US s300 donation with haul-back line attached; and we now congratulate our sister town on having been fortunate enough tnow that copper is so low to have fuIdz for her west coast mail route missionary work supplied by @ nominee for delegate to congress.
 One redeeming feature of this voyage was the boosting that King did for Mr. Wickershan-and Roman, he pays the bill. Poor, deluded Roman!

FOR A FREE
 READING ROOM
WrangeII People are Promised a
 Musical Treat Tonight

For long time it has been suggested that Wrangell needs 8 reading room for the benefit of transient and homeless men who prefer not to pass their spare time in barrooms or on the streets. To the end that this suggestion might be fulfilled, the church people have for some time been raising funds for the purpose of securing the necessary build. ing for such resort. This ia g step in the right direction, as all strangers who come to towr would have place to go and not only that, but it is quite prob able that library would be established that could be dragn upon by the people of our own town. Every citizen should assist toward the success of this idea.
 Our citizens are tonight to be given an opportunity of showing their good will toward this reading room and at the same time enjoying a musical treat
 Miss Jocelyn Foulkes of Portland, 6 pupil of some of the most noted con- servatories in Europe, will give a piano recital st Red Mems Hall tonight, com mencing at s:l5 sharp. Miss Foulkes will be assisted by George Snyder, voice. The price of admissioA will be 50 cents for adults and a5 cents for children, and all the proceeds are to go to the fund for the establishment of free reading room and social hall.

From an exchange we take this little 1 bunch of truth: ''It costs a country newspaper money every time it makes a stand on any question. Almost any other citizen can do so without injuring his business, because he is not put on record. When newspaper publishes anything, it's there in black and white, and no way to get around it. Ii the ed- itor advocates improvements, the moss- backs go after him and sometimes stop their paper. Ii he opposes improve ments the progressive sort get on bis frame and call him a back number. If he boosts the church the liberal eloment calls him crazy, and if he doesn't the church people say he is going to the devil. If he publishes local news come say it is all nonsense, and if he doesn't he gets it in the neck from those who look for the short items. Ii he publishes politics the opposition gets into his hair, and if he doesn't he's charged with being afraid to stand out for bis opinions. Ii he condemns mail order houses there are some people who ask him to tend to his own business as they have a right to trade where they please. Ii he publish es mail order ads the home merchants go after his gore. No country paper can come out square without making some enemies and losing money, and in thd run of year or so will incur some criti- cism from everybody. But this should not be diseouragiRg. The newspaper that undertakes to please every body will please nobody, and if it is honest, sim cere and thoughtful the public will re- spect it.
 That Cordoya is forging ahead is shown by the following item from the Alaskan: "The Pennsylvania brought 300, ,O00 feet of lumber for the Katalla Company, 5000 feet for the townsite company, nine hundred tons of coal, several engines to be used for bridge construction over the Copper River, and a railroad automobile to be used by the officers of construction during the build ing of the road"
 Next Tuesday is election day, and t is every mans duty to get ont and vote. Wrangell has over q hundred votes, Lut at the election for delegate two years ago only thirty-one were cast.

4 dispatch from Skagway July go, says that the cannerymen who were recently indicted for unlawful operation of fish traps have plead guilty, but that their attorneys had pleaded with Judge Gunnison to allow for the extenuating circumstances which they advanced and which included almost everything from statements that the men who were in charge of the traps had become drunk, to lack of calendars being in possession of the fishermen and those who should have protected the companies by not violating the law. The court explained clearly rhe position taken by the United States in its attempt to protect the fish' ing industry, and went on record as be ing entirely in favor of the same. After making himself plain on all of the con- tentions raised by the attorneys for the defendants, the court ordered that the sentence against each of the men under indictment should be $50 for each of- fense. Judge Gunnison stated that when he said the fine should cover each offense, he meant that it should apply to every one of the cases, whether they were first or second offenses. The fines were all paid.

The general idea that our enormous
advances in science and command over
nature serve as demonstrations Of oul
mental superiority to the men Of ear.
Her ages is totally unfounded. The
evidence OF history and Of the earliest
monuments alike goes to indicate that
our intellectual and moral nature has
not advanced in any perceptible degree
In the second place, we find that the
supposed great mental inferiority Of
savages is equally unfounded. The
more they are sympathe tically studied
the more they are found to resemble
ourselves in their inherent intellectual
powers.
Even the so long despised Australian
savages, almost the lowest inSmateria1
progress, yet show byptheir complex
language, their social regulations and
often by an innate nobility aof char
acter indications Of very similar In
ner nature to our own. If they pos
sess fewer philosophers and moralists
they are also free from so large 8
proportion Of unbalanced minds-idiot!
and lunatics-as we possess. On tn
other hand, we find in the higher Pa
cific types men who, though savage'
as regards material progress, are ye
i generally admitted to be physically, in
tellectually and morally our equals, 1
not our superiors., Thirdly. WI
have no proof whatever that even tn,

this astonishing feat had at the top

expression, Of grace after meat which
I have ever come across was that Gus

the principal and rules and the Kent
ish mess, each body having its own ia
BILE. At the conclusion of the dinner
the chairman of the Kentish mess, first
bowling to the principal Of the inn,
took from the hands of the servitor
some small rolls or loaves of bread
and, without saying word, dashed
them several times on the table. after
which they were taken away. Solemn
silence relieved only by the thumps
prevailed during this curious substi-
tute for verbal grace.-Cor. London

Instinct and Reason.

Instinct is the generic term for all
those faculties of mind which lead to
{ the performance of actions that are
adaptive in character, but pursued
without necessary knowledge Of the re-
lation between the means employed
and the ends attained. Reason refers
to those. actions that are adaptive in
character and that are pursued with
knowledge of the relation between the
means employed and the ends aimed
at Such is the technical statement Of
the difference between instinct and rea-
son, but the real, basic difference be-
tween the two faculties is unknown
and probably unknowable.-New York
