A great difference exists between the literary and advertising sections of some of our popular monthlies. In the literary part the railroads cheat and kill us, the food supply is adulterated, the liquor dealers ruin us, the army is rotten the navy all junk and the entire country is "going to the dogs" " But, in the advertising pages, thank Heaven, the viewpoint is optimistic. Here are razors that never draw blood, autos that never fail, medicines that always cure, soups that are superior, breakfast foods that fatten. paint that lasts forever, and trains that run on time. What would a magazine be without it's cheerful 'aus?"-The St.. Louis Exponent.

The Alaska Yukon Pacific Exposi- tion has repaid 10 per cent on the s350, coo bonded indebtedness, which indicates that it will quit with money in the treasury. With the steadily growing attendance, it's receipts are increasing right along. By the end of the week, the 2,000, GOO mark will have been passed. Two months more remain for the show to continue, which makes it certain that as many more people will see it. There are three big days ahead. They are Concession aires Day, Seattle Day, and Taft Day
 Half a million are expected on these three days. The daily average now exceeds p. GOO. SO that the far is exceeding all expectations from an attendance standpoint. This is due to the fact that it peases everyone. Knocks are so scarce that it seems the hammer has become an obsolete play thing.

Too Much Coal
 Thinks Capt. Rees

Honolulu, August, 19-Captain Rees, commandant of the Naval Station here had been requested to have on hand twenty thousand tons of coal when the irst and second squadrons of the Pacific feet arrive in September. This IS the amount asked for by Admiral Sebree, commander Of the Pacific fleet. Just how the two squadrons are to stow way twenty thousand tons of coal when they reach here is puzzle as usually they do not take more than maximum of l, 500 tons each. How ever the twenty thousand toms will be on hand

Lands in Alaska
 For Farm Seekers

Under the title of farming in Alaska the Seattle Post 1ntelligencer gives some advice to land seekers in the following:
 A successful farmers institute the first ever held in Alaska, has been in session at Seward, and it was atten- ded by men from all parts of the sur rounding agricult ural district. Those present reported exceptional crops Of hay and oats, the great stables of that section of country. The feature of the meeting was the address of Levi Chubbuck, special agent of the depart ment uf agriculture, who is making surveys of land suitable for home steads, and who assured his readers that the successful growing of forage and root crops on land in that section of Alaska, with an aggregate area of 1000 square miles, was practically assured.
 The l LOGO square miles which has thus been surveyed, and on which it is assured that forage and root crops can be successfully cultivated, would fur nish 4,000 homestead claims, which is rather more than the aggregate num- Der of claims awarded in the recent land lottery held over in Spokane.
 In the Spokane lottery there were nearly 200, GOO applications for chance to get claims, and the vast majority were doomed in advance to disap- pointmept. The 1, GOO Alaska home stead claims are ready for any one to take up who cares to do so, without taking any chances on lottery. The first choice goes to the man first on the ground. and there is DO rush of appli- cants.
 The farmers institute at Seward serves to bring out new the fact that farming IS pursuit that can be successfully followed in that country. h the neighborhood of Seward the climate is mild The market demands of Alaska are far ahead of any possi- blty Of their being supplied by local products for many years in the future.
 If the landhungry are in such num- bels as the recent rush would indi- cate, there is opportunity for them iD Alaska. That territory could, as 3 matter of fact absorb the whole 200,- GOO who engaged in the land lottery and give each ode of them a piece oi good agrcuIturua land upon which a Livelihood could be made. and still greater areas oud be left for other settlers to take later.

The Word Alaska
 Means Great Country

Col. Wm. NJ. Distin, Surveyor gen. eral of Alaska is visiting at his homo in Quincy, III. The Quincy Daily Her. aid gives two column write up of the distinguished gentleman from the northland and quotes him as follows:
 ''The meaning of the word Alaska is Great Country,' sad Col. DIstin, this morning. "The area in round numbers is nearly GOO, ,000 square miles. There are about 400, 0 70, GOO acres of unsurveyed public land. That large percentage of this vast aren is adapted to agriculture of one sort or other, is no longer matter of con- lecture. Alaska is steadily fori ing to the front and will, in my opinion, some day be one of the greatest min- centers of the world. Year by year as de velopment work progresses and explorations are carried into new fields, the magnitude end variety of these resources become more appar- ent. The period of uncertainty has passed and development will be more rapid hence 'orth. '
 About his own work in helping to solve the resources of the Great Country Col. Dstin was naturally very retcent. He simply dismiss d the subject by saying that he was appointed by President Nick inley on September ', 1897, as surveyor generil of A laska and that he has been reap pointed every four years since.

Juneau, Aug. HE. NJ. Barnes, a local attorney was today held to the grand jury charged with sending obscene matter through the mails.
 He addressed letter to young girl of Juneau making indecent pro- posals and requested an answer mailed to a certain box in the postoffice. The girl showed the letter to her parents who placed it in the hands of the police. They sent a dummy letter to the box designated ana when Barnes called for it he was placed under arrest. He had attempted to protect himself in securing the answer by having in his possession forged order for it which he claims was given him by client.
 Barnes has been acting strangely for sometime and is evidently candidate for the insane asylum. He is about fifty years old and has been practicing law here fer five or six years.
