The Laconia Democrat says:
ALASKA has produced S2,300,000
in gold since 1908, while the farm
ers of Aroostook county in Maine
produced Sl2,000,000 worth of po-
tatoes last year and expect to dou-
b e the quantity this summer; and
still there is no great rush of for
tune seekers to dig potatoes in
Aroostook county" Potatoes lack
the glamour but produce the goods,
it seems.

The murder of Elsie Sigel by her
Chinese pupil has concentrated at
tention upon the methods of teach
ing of the heather Chinese. 1t
seems that these Sunday School
scholars are very particular that
they have pretty white girls for
their teachers and that no other
Chink shall share this instruction.
They do not go long to learn Eng
fish and the Bible if they are given
a man or elderly woman teacher.
That in itself is sufficient why
young girls should be prohibited
from engaging in this work. In the
light of this revelation, the Sigel
murder is not so impossible an end
considering that jealousy is the at
tributed cause.

MICHIGAN MAN
IS HARD CRITIC
OF THE WASHINGTON APPLES
He Says. Also, That the Land Is Not
as Good as That on His Farm
in the Wolverine State.

The best apples grown in the west
are inferior to the apples of the state
of Michigan. That is a statement
which was made at grange meeting
back in Michigan a few days ago,
and the man who made it is thorough
ly conversant with Washington, hav-
ing been at the Alaska Yukon-Pacific
exposition at Seattle and having
tasted some fruit there. Just what he
got it is hard to tell but it was prob
ably an apple which if he hadn't
eaten it would have been excellent
along about next February. However,
the mans statement was published in
a Michigan paper ana someone who
saw the paper sent copy of it to A.
S. Congdon, of North Yakima.

Mr.. Congdon knows something
about Michigan land. He has some
and will give $50 acres outright to
the Michigan critics if he will take it,
There are few taxes due on the
property but very little in the aggre-
gate. However, as taxes is the only
crop the land has grown or would
grow since the timber was taken off
from it necessarily it has some to its
credit. Mr.. Congdon has offered the
property to several people and is in
hope that the Michigan enthusiast
will take it. What the Michigan man
said was as follows;
Could Not Eat Apples.
Charles H. Drake, who was present
at the grange meeting, stated that he
had just returned from trip through
the west, where he took particular
pains to observe the agricultural and
horticultural interests. He stated that
at the Seattle exposition he was shown
the best apples that were grown in
the west. and could not eat the fruit
because it had not a good taste, in
fact, did not taste like an apple. In
color and quality it was very much
inferior to Michigan apples. The lands

Mrs. Moore Makes Special Efforts for
Permanent and Transient Guests.

Under the management of Mrs. E.
b. Moore. the Pacific hotel has been
thoroughly renovated and overhauled.
Every room has been papered and re-
painted, the furniture has been re-
newed and every attention given to
details which will make for the COM

desire of Mrs. Moore to be able to offer
an attractive home to people seeking
permanent quarters at a reasonable
price and to those who desire a WIN
ter home which will be comfortable.
While making this a special aim she
has reserved a number of excellen {
rooms for the transient trade. The
Pacific hotel has number of regular
patrons and these and the new friends
which it is hoped the present manage

hotel since the alterations, have ex-
pressed themselves as delighted with
the changes.
