Queer Beers Are Made in Maine.

Ten thousand liquor constables might
close the saloons of Maine. but they
could never make the state completely
dry. for even though all the breweries
and distilleries of America should go
out of business. the DOwneasters would
still have their home made beer. Near

makes beer of some kind. and as a re-

Queerest of Railroads.

The most curious railroad in the
world is in China and it was built and
financed solely by Chinese. 1t is
known as the Stunning railway and its
terminus is at Kung Yik port, l20
miles southwest of Canton. AT
present there are thirty-two miles in
operation, and there are four miles
under construction and four miles
more proposed, making a total OF
forty miles when The whole enter
prise is finished.
The idea of building this railroad
originated with AIr. chin Gee Hee,
who was then / nthe United States.
and some subscriptions for stock were
secured from other Chinese residents
Of the United States. The majority of
the sOtcl, however. is now owned by
residents OF the province of Kwang-
tuns
When the road was surveyed the
villagers were very much opposed to
ii and refused to sell land to the
company to be used for railroad pur-
poses, but after meeting all these OBJ
structions for a considerable time
with great patience the projectors fin
ally obtained their consent to and CO.
The line is being constructed entire
~ by non-scientific Chinese No
person of any nationality other than
Chinese has ever been connected in
any way with the building of this
road. Ii is being built under the di-
rection of Mr.. Chin, president of the
railway. who returned to China from
the United States after forty years
experience there, some Of which was
as a railroad foreman and contractor
He has no engineering or railroad
knowledge other than the experience
gained while in the United States. He
has the help Of about 100 Chinese
foremen and laborers who came back
from the United States, all with more
or elss experience in railroad con-
struction.
The construction work commenced
in the middle Of 1906. and part OF the
line was opened to travel at the be-
ginning Of 1908. The whole road is
provided with telephone lines for dis
patching.
Trains run three times a day from
each end. taking about two hours for
the trip. The average daily receipts
are from 1925 to $3.50 on passenger
traffic and from $40 to $50 on freight,
with a daily expense of about $50.
The road is sand, gravel and earth
ballasted. standard gauge and single
track. with a side track at every
station.

HERE IS A CHERRY SOUL.

It has been raining here in Alaska more or less for several weeks. Tour ists have noticed 1t and their com menLS have not always been flatter- ing. Some Of our own people have awakened to the sincere belief that Jupiter Pluyius is giving us scripture measure with the contents running over. To some people the prolonged rains have a depressing effect. That indicates a faulty mental suSceptibil- ity rather than any real harm that these gentle rains can do. When the gray clouds obscure the Sky's opaline tinted blue. care you not. You do not live in the skies. The sunshine that paints the rose in your cheek and gems the eye with diamonds, comes from within. Ratndrops are as healthy and benificnet as sunbeams. The fol iage grows a deeper green and almost bursts with the fullness of life because Of its lingering careSs. When it rains go out into 1t and earn to love it. When you were young; before arufic- iality stole away your pure dreams before pride. and maybe sin. trans formed your soul. the happiest hours were spent when it rained hardest and you padded in the pools. It did not hurt you then, nor will it now. Go out and see how gentle it is. The rain is a. bugaboo only to those who stay inside and fear it.-Ketchikan Miner.

NO FIGHT ON CAPITAL.

Gov. Hoggatt told the Cordova North Star that the press ought not to aptagonize the large aggregations Of capital coming into Alaska. This admonition implies that the Alaska press has been doing that same.
 The governor may possess some in- formation denied 70 ordinary mOrtals but the ProSpectoI has never roiced in any Alaska newspaper any objec- ton to the arrival of rich persons or corporations. On the contrary the mere suggestion that q load ot mazu- ma is bearing down upon the terri tory usually brings out section of wool type for the front page.
 What the governor really means. dearly beloved, is that the majority O. Alaska residents have offered moro or less effeotual objection to the po- l;tical domination of Alaska by that aggregation of capital which is the object of Gov. Hoggatt'S particular solicttude and adoration-to-wit, the syndicate known popularly as the EugyanhairnS
 Everybody in Alaska is glad to see the rich leave some of their change in the territory. The Guggenheims have spent lot of money in Alaska, which has been q great benefit to the COun- try. and they promise to spend more, which will be greater benefit. They are entitled to make big money out of their investments. There is no ob- jection to the big financial tent. Crit iCiSm has been directed against the political side show, which has sought 10 dictate all federal appointments and to control the courts.
