TAX ON BACHELORS

Every and then some industrious lawnaker gets busy in effort to invade the everncreasing ranks of bacheodom Invariably it is of those who have chosen to oego the joys single besseness that is the head of any movement to put bachelors te restricted list
 One of the latest refomers along this line is member of the Wisconsin legislature, and he has introduced bill tending to place effective and lasting ban bachelors The matrimonial plan outlined by this modern soon is to place tax all males who fail to the bonds of matrmony before they reach the tender age of 30 years
 The idea far is not But attached thereto and made part of the proposed enactment is provision for the securing of wives for those who excuse truth fully might offer the plea that they cannot find anyone who will consent to become partner in the matrimonial business. state bureau is to be created with the sole purpose of locating wives bachelors who through tmd y general unattracveness unable to cast spell of sufficient duration the members of the fair get them within sight of the altar
 The author of the bill declares that there great many people who want to get married but do not know how to go about it. It largely for the protection and sstnce of such these that the bill is framed While state bureau would be all that is desirable in the way match making, it would have resemblance private matrimonial agency, because of the fact that under state supervision Thus it would have all the effective features without the dsagreeabe publicity and uncertainty which accompanies the conduct of private bureaus
 The proposed law carries also provision tending to put limit the rapidly lyincreasng divorce evil Another feature is the requirement. that all those contemplating matrmony shall nscribe their in public book 30 days before the date of their marriage thus placing rer eopements and other runaway maria ges which usually precede dvorces The marked increase in the vity of our divorce courts is apparent and if the Wscon sin of relief is enacted into law it may furnish valuable precedent for other states to follow.

Little Boulder
 May be Good

John Vik, the widely-known miner, registered at the Hot Springs hotel last Sunday and on Monday took the stage for Fairbanks on a short business trip, and will return about the middle of March.
 Mir. Vik and his partner have been spending the winter prospecting on Little Boulder, pup of Boulder creek, a tributary of Sullivan. The fact that these miners have spent five months on the creek, and Mir. Vik's saying that it looks all right to him, leads many to believe that Little Boulder will be heard from shortly.

BUILDING RAILROADS

President Con Josin of the Tanana Valley railway, in article published in the Alaska Magazine entitled Railroad Building in Alaska, says
 There should be government aid for at least 2OO0 miles of railroad ill Alaska It very reasonable amount Additional construction would follow without assistance The government has recently provided for 1000 miles of railroad in the Philippines Alaska is five times the area of the Philippines and it's trade with only handful of people, is three times great It is domestic territory, peoped with race and capable of being made prac cay contiguous ana built into the states The ton of 2OOO miles of railroad would multiply it's population many times and it's trade of forty million dollars the year would rise to probably two three hundred millions 1t would be better than making treaties for foreign trade for 1t would be exclusively The gold production which now twenty millions the year. would probably to hundred millions and the entire nation would feel the stimulus and be profted."

CAMDEN WAS VERY EASY.

Camden was an easy mark for tho
Hlppodrome lads Tuesday afternoon,
and the locals walked off with the
game by score of 10 to 2.
Camden was off with rush getting
= runs, but the Hip lads got busy and
went a run better scoring 8. In the
third another trio of Hip boys dashed
about the bases and landed on the
rubber In the sixth there was a
single tally by the locals, and in the
oth' more runs were scored. The
total was 10 to 2.
The Hippodrome boys simply carried
the Camden lads off their feet by the
fast work in the field and on the bases.
McLatferty was easily the star of the
afternoon. He.handled 12 chances and
made 3 hits and 8 runs. Heating and
Thumb also batted hard and the first
named was all right in the field
Turner pitched very good game and
Bowen was the real goods behind the
bat.

WILL ERECT THE ANNEX.

The directors of the Bridgeton
Hospital Association Tuesday decid-
eddy majority vote to erect the pro-
sed annex to the institution, according
to the plans already agreed upon.
There was lengthy discussion con-
cerning the improvement. Some of
the directors felt that the institution
would be in much better shape if it was
moved to another location. 1t was
proposed by some that the purchase of
the Dr.. Elsmore Sites property on
East avenue would fit the association
FOR the future far better than the erec-
tion of an anex at the present loca-
tion.
The location of the Sites property
on East avenue was urged as being
ideal by some, having advantages
over the present location. v
The matter was discussed ina all its
phases, and finally by rather close
vote the annex was decided upon, and
it is said that the new work will
shortly begin.
1t is understood that the financing of
the concern is assured, and the build
.lng can proceed safely

BERRY RAISERS
HAVE HARD LUCK

,, 10 have a poor crop of Strawberries
and then lose the money for which
they were sold, is indeed, hard luck
Such an experience part of Fairfield
and Lawrence townships, as we'll as
some of Downe residents have passed
through this season.
Early in the berry season parties
from Providence, R. l.. and Boston,
Mass, visited those sections and
bought up the berry crops. They
offered nice price and desired the
entire crops, ordering the fruit shipped
through in refrigerator cars.
The farmers sent off for and had
car loads of Italian berry pickers come
down and go over their fields for the
last berry, to be shipped to the promis.
ing down East purchasers.
The shipping agents at Fairton, and
Bateman 6 Blizzard, at Newport, did
the bulk of the shipping, and all went
we'll at first, but at length worthless
checks began to come back, and even
when the checks were good, they did
not represent enough cash to pay the
pickers,
Coates Swing, at Fairton is one of
the heavy losers; the loss about Fairton
is represented to be between $25OO and
$4,000.
About Newport the loss is said to
aggregate over $500O Messrs. Bate
man & Blizzard being heavy losers.
Many checks which were worthless
have been returned, and the farmers
who had got them cashed have had to
repay the money received on them.
