Anniston. Congressman Craig suc- ceeded MT. Bowie in 1908
 It is believed that Dallas county. Congressman Crafg's home, will present a bidder for the position just for the sake of keeping the plum in the family.
 The field. 1t is believed. will be larger than If Mir Craig had stood for recollection and the young congress- man. the youngest of the Alabama delegation. possesses tremendous strength in his district During the 1908 campaign when he was opposed by J. O. Middleton. of Clanton. the Republican nominee. he was elected by an overwhelming majority.
 It is considered an odd coincidence that both Congressman Syd Bowie and Congressman Craig. his successor. should voluntarily relinquish the con- gressional honors for private life after short terms.
 Congressman Craig would have stood for reelection in 1910 had he resolved to re-enter the race for the sixty-first Congress.
 No Candidate in Dallas.
 Selma. Oct. 1S-(Special) )-Prospec- i've candidates for Congress from the Fourth Congressional District to repre- sent that district after the expiration of Congressman William B. Craig's present term have been figured upon considerably since Mir. Craig announced last Saturday that he would not stand for reelection.
 The general opinion is that Dallas county will not put out candidate. There are only a few citizens in the county who aspire for congressional honors and they are not in a position to make the race at present.
 The counties in the northern end of the district will furnish the candi- dates and Dallas county may be the pivot upon which the primaries may turn.
 The discussion here since 1t was an- nounced that MT. Craig would not stand for reelection has brought out the names of three prominent Aesi- dents of the northern end of the dis trict who 1t has been stated may make the race. While only three men have been mentioned so far 1t is likely that other citizens in the northern end of the district may have congressional aspirations. The three men mentioned here are Fred L. Blackmon of Annis- ton and c. c. Whitson and Alex Gar Der of Talladega county. It has been intimated also that Shelby county will put candidate in the field.

WOMEN OF ARCTIC CIRCLE.
Remote Cabins Which Hold Only
Happy Housekeepers.

Frances sterrett in the Housekeeper for
October.
Every spring hundreds of brides jour-
ney to Alaska and fully as many young
women go north, with more or less trep-
idation. to be married, So that the num-
Der Of homes in the neighborhood Of the
Arctic circle grows larger each year.
The trepidation only lasts while the brides
are "cheechalkos." or tenderfeei After
they have watched the ice go out and are
real sour doughs," they want no sym
pathy because Fate sent them to a coun-
try where coal is $50 a ton and lemons
81 a dozen. You cannot find an Alaskan
who will find fault with Alaska and
so, everyone is satisfied, the mining
camps at Dawson, Fairbanks and Nome,
or the cabins out along the creeks miles
and miles from what We call civiliza-
ton, hold only happy housekeepers,
women who know more about canned
goods and what can be done with a tin
OF beans than anybody on either conti-
nent.
Everything that comes to their doors
is canned milk, eggs and potatoes, as
we'll as the vegetables that we all use.
In the larger camps fresh vegetables are
brought in by steamer in the summer
until the shops bloom with a wealth of
succulent green things, but only the anec-
dotes of these delicacies reach the
creeks" The gardens at Dawson are
famous, for almost any vegetable will
grow if the housewife will bother TO
plant it. Although the season Is so short
the sun shines night and day and the cab
bage keeps the same working hours.
Condensed milk is the Arctic house
keepers standby and you would not be-
lieve how much was used unless you saw
the pile of empty tins. Every woman has
to learn to make mullins and cake all
over again until she knows just the pro-
portions of milk and water that will pro-
| duce the light and feathery result.
Canned eggs offer a similar course Of
study and SO do timed potatoes TO the
woman who must serve three paltable
meals a day from canned or dried foods.
1t is a wild. free life these Arctic
women live. They know how to shoot
and can keep the larder replenished when
the men are busy. They can also take
big pan of pay gravel and wash it until
the specks of gold are free from dirt.
In their fur park and muekluks they can
! trot beside the dog sled on the winter
| trail and when the journey Of several
| hundred miles is over they can play Men

Clearing Up the Mystery.

From Judge.
This polar exploration needs a word of
explanation, though we have no expecta-

In the land of snow eternal, where
there Is no hint of vernal and the cold

a pole. An adventurous ambition, baked
for years of full fruiton, was to reach
this far position, as the climax of a
stroll.

Ahruzzi unchaIIenaed.

The return of the high-born Italian ex-
plorer, the Duke OF Abruzzi, to Europe
with record of having attained the
height of nearly 25,000 feSt on Mt. Goodwin
Austin, in the Himalayas, closes another
of his highly organized expeditions in
pursuit of sport of noble type, expedi-
lions that invariably result in enrichment
of scientific data concerning new region
of the globe. AS he was accompanied
by Signor Etella, Abruzzi returns laden
with Photographic panoramic views that
will take their unique place along with
earlier ones by the same remarkable cap

n UPT. FRANK r. WHITZEL OF

tltion of the 1907 Stringency.
The point of this Is that the inter
mountain country. as 1t has had no
marked business boom. will probably
escape the resulting setback | talked
with several jobbers selling throughout
the country. Without exception their
comment was. While your country and
the Pacific slope has been modest in
its purchases. these have shown a
steady and rational increase from year
to year. and no section surpasses it in
certainty of collections or small per-
centage of losses
This view is borne out by reports
from local jobberS. A wholesale papcr
house says that each of the past II
years has exceeded the preceding in
volume of sales. A wholesale notion
concern reports sales for 1909 almost
