from the initiation of new enterprises
such as the building Of railroads and
smelters. Mines shipping coal from
ports on Controller bay or Prince Will
liam sound should be able to supply
the bunker coal consumed on steamers
running to Prince William sound and
Cook inlet; and a large proportion of
the patronage of other Alaska steamers
can probably be obtained by Shipping
the coal either to the Alaska termini
of these lines or to Puget sound or
San Francisco. The cost of shipping
will depend upon a readjustment of
shipping facilities and rates.
The development of the Bering
coal field is destined to be of far
reaching Importance in future naval
operations on the Pacific. Our war
ships are now dependent for first class
smokeless steam coal on shipments
from Atlantic ports. When it shall be
possible to obtain at Controller bay a
naval fuel as good as that now shipped
from West Virginia, from Maryland,
and from Wales, the movements of our
fleets on the Pacific will be much more
easily accomplished than they are un-

Without an Enemy.

Heaven help the man who
imagines he can dodge en-
emies by trying to please
everybody. If such an in
dividual ever succeeded, we
should be glad of it-nOt
that one should be going thru
the world trying to find beams
to knock and thump his head
against, disputing every man's
opinion, fighting and elbow
ing and crowding all who
differ from him. That, again,
is another extreme. Other
people have their opinions

the error Of supposing they
will respect you more for

to match the color Of theirs.

Flowers for the Dead

If friends would but have
the good taste to place a few
simple flowers about the de
parted ones, such as she or he
was fond of in life, it would
be very fitting, but it is surely
not in taste to overload the
casket with fiowersrepresent-
ing an amount of money which
would do much good to the
poor. And then the costom
of exposing the face of the
dead to the gaze of those
making a tour Of inspection,
which is almost universal in
country churches, is to us
another very unpleasant
feature of funerals. We often
read with interest of the
burial rites Of comparatively
unknown nations, and are
surprised and amused with
their peculiarities. Would
not ours, in their turn, pre-
sent some features as curious,
if read of by distant people?
If personal friends wish to
take a last look of a deceased
friend, it is surely due to them
to do SO alone, and without
being gazed at by a crowd.

The Fathers Duty.

We estimate a mothers i'm
portance in her family as
high as any one can; and yet
we do not believe she mono
polizes all the qualities need
ed in the great work of train
ing up human beings. Her
familiarity with her children
places her in some respects,
at a disadvantage for the ex-
ercise of wholesome author
ity. The wise father will
not indeed take the reins of
the family government from
his wife; but he will make his
children feel and know that
her gentle sway is sustained
by a firm and steady hand;
that behind their mothers
tender heart stands a cool
judgement. and a will strong
er even than their own, and
that they cannot impose up
on the one or resist the
other. But if he would be
truly the father of his family,
he must not be a stranger to
them. It will answer no pur-
pose for him to come in once
in a while to meet some great
emergency, and awe down re-
bellion by hard authority.
He must be the companion,
the friend of his children.
Strong, natural love must be
the basis of all beneficial dis
cipline. But this is also. we
had almost said, equally ne
cessary for the father himself.
Nothing keeps the heart SO
fresh and young. saves it from
bitterness and corrosion
through the cares and con-
ficts and disappointment of
life, as the daily enjoyment

The Sunshine

Everybody should live on
the sunny side of their houses
as much as possible; and al
low the suns genial rays to
penetrate the rooms. Dark
ened parlors are fashionable
evils. True, it is gloomy
enough to be ushered into a
tomb-like apartment, where
one can scarcely grope his
way to a seat, and to discover,
when his eyes become ac-
customed to the dim light,
that every chair and sofa has
on it's ''duster,' apparently
equipped for travelling to some
unknown land. But ladies
must have their carpets kept
bright and fresh, even if their
checks are the paler for it!
And so the shutters are tight
ly closed, and the heavy cur
tains drawn. But for the
sake of health and beauty,
ladies, let this be done only
in the ''best parlor,'' if it
mnst be done at all. Let the

liant blossoms unless she

where the sunshine would in

SterIing Advice .

To a great extent the cell
bacy Of our young men is
owing to the way IN which
girls are brought up. Through
mistaken kindness, mothers
often themselves do what
they ought to make their
daughters do. Let them
teach housekeeping on a fixed
methOdical plan, and they
will then learn then history,
French and music all the bet
ter. It is natural and right
that a mother should wish to
see her daughter well educat-
ed and even highly accom-
plished; and it is a mistake
that good and careful educa-
ton should unfit a girl for the
.homely duties of cooking,
busting and general house
work. On the contrary,
those duties would be better
performed if mothers would
at the same time that they
seek talented instructors for
their daughters, impart to
them some of their own Gull
nary talent; there would be
more good wives and mar
riages. Little girls should
be taught, as early as possible
to perform simple household
duties neatly; and as they
grow older, let them become
gradually acquainted with the
theory of housekeeping in
such a manner that, when
they are married, they will
be able to adapt themselves
to their circumstances, and
be useful as we'll as pleasing
companions to their hus-
bands.
Gratitude for mercies,
patience under trials. con-
genial society and the hope
of heaven, will bring us all
the happiness this life can
bear. Absolutely. there is
nothing beyond this but the
life eternal. Accept this
view, and waste no more time
and labor in seeking for hap
piness where it is not.

Notes From Washington
From Our Regular Correspondent

A committee of manufacture
ers, headed by j. Vivian Cleave.
of st. Louis, chairman of the Ma
tional Manufacturers Associa.
tion is in Washington this week
to urge the creation of a com mis-
sion to consider and make re-
port on the tariff schedules, pre-.
paratory to a general revision.
The mittee declared that the
movement for tariff commission
was backed by the President,
Senator Beveridge and two mil
lion voters. and that it came to
Washington to force" Congress
to adopt the Beverage tariff com
mission bill. However, the com
mittee will return to it's respect
i've homes sadder but wiser
body. A few hours in this city
were sufficient, to convince most
of them that Congress was not
to be forced" They have also
discovered that the President
does not consider this an oppor-
tune time for anything looking
toward tariff revision, but be-
lieves that the wise policy to pur-
sue is to have the Repub lican
party commit itself, in it's nation
al platform to revision next year,
and that special session Of con-
gress be called for that purpose
by the next president in the
spring of 1909.
Governor Magoon is still in
Washington where he has come
to lay before the secretary of
war four problems in connection
with his eminently successful
administration of Cuban affairs,
the only problems that he has
been unable to settle in Havana.
The four knotty questions are
the Cienfuegos water and sewer
system, the Havana sewering and
paying contract, all four of which
involve concessions granted prior
to Governor Magoon S admins
tration. His reception by Presi-
den Roosevelt and Secretary
Taft was not cordial and both
speak in terms of the highsst
commentator of his wise and
tactful handling of Cuban affairs.
There has been some gossip that
the Governor would be, in all
probability, the next secretary
of war but it sits in from the
outside and little is thought of
these predictions in political or
administration circles.
