In narrating the story of a
naughty girl and an English magis-
trate in his recent book, "Old and
Odd Memories" the Hon. Lionel A.
Tollenache supplements it with that
famous example of anti-climax, the
rebuke Of the head master to the
youthful Etonians for unpunetuality
at chapel: "Your conduct is an in
suit to the Almighty and keeps the
cannons waiting" The young girl
mentioned was taken up before the
magistrate by a farmer for killing
one Of his ducks with a stone. The
case against her was quite clear, but
it was thought worth while to call
witnesses to prove that she was very
naughty indeed, and in the habit Of
using bad language. Then in solemn
accents the magistrate said: "Little
girl, you have heard the evidence
against you, and you see how one
thing leads to another. You began by
cursing and swearing and blasphem-
ing your Maker, and you have ended
by throwing stone at a duck. "-Ex.

People often wonder, particularly
those who have travelled for hundreds
Of miles through the corn belt, what
becomes Of corn which is grown every
year. In the year 1908, when the to-
tai crop was 2,666,OOO,OOO bushels,
"a, 100000 bushels were consumed in
Hour and grist mill products, $780,
VVO bushels in the manufacture Of
starch, 100000 bushels for malt IL
quors, 100000 bushels in the pro-
duetiOn of distilled liquors, 4O,0OO.-
OOO for glucose, l9O,OOO,OOO for ex-
port, and 100000 bushels for seed.
making a total of 5lS,OOO,OOO bushels
or 1873 per cent of the entire crop.
The remaining SO.7 per cent, or q
;ilS,OOO,OOO bushels seems to have
been used almost entirely for feeding.

The following should be pasted in
each mans hat as a reminder Of duty
when speaking of any woman IS char
acter. Think of how many years she
has been building it, of the wound
received, Of the toll and privation en-
dured, and let no suspicion follow her
action: The purity of woman is the
salvation Of the race, the hope of fu-
t tIl greatness and the redemption.
Wipe out her purity, and the man
sinks beneath the wave of death.
with no star to guide his life into the
channel 6 Of safety. Think, then, be-
fore you speak, and remember that
any hog can root up whatever grew.
SO with character. It would be well
Tor some people to think about this

The Wrangell sentinel., 1909-06-10
CONN UNIC hTED
Wrangell, Alaska, 6-o-'o9

Wrangell, Alaska, 6.o-'o9 Editor Sentinel,
 Dear Sil:-In your paper ol May 2-. under the title "Akin to High way Robbery" you said The fur ther one goes into the matter of in- vestigating the work of the firm, Whitfield 6. Whitfield, surveyors, and the bills they are charging fer ii. the greater in appearance he comes the graft they have worked. For instance, according to their fig ures, it cost S2o4.25 to survey and plat that little garden patch along side the Mint Saloon: S25I.85 for their work upon the lot on which the Mint Saloon and Olympic Res taurant stand: S438.II to survey the tract, a part of the MCKinnon estate, I5ox3oo feet, commonly known as the Red House property and the like all over town.
 The above would lead one to be- lieye that that would be the ap- proxin1ate cost of each lot in the Wrangell townsite. Now there are o13 lots, and if this were the case, taking the average of the three lots mentioned above, the cost of each lot would be S299.4o, and the total survey would be S27I,439.2o while in fact it is only sI3,4o5.I6, of which the Whithelds are to receive So, for their services, which is about SIo per lot.
 The balance of the expenses are ,he cost of the land, the DaYison survey, the entry, Trustees time and office rent to May II, amount to s18o6.4o The help in the field cost S7o2. o6, the advertising, coal bills. board bills and incidentals amounted to SI54o.o5, and S2oo. % remains for future use.
 There were oI3 lots surveyed, ot
The Wrangell sentinel., 1909-06-10


 which only 389 lots are appraised and assessed, leaving a remainder of 524 unclaimed. The assessed valuation of the 38o lots is S82, ,I26- .28. Deduct SIP, ,688. 58 as Indian holdings from the total. It re- quires a percentage of So.I942 on the dollar 10 cover the total of SIS, 4o5.I6. As the unclaimed lots and Indian holdings are exempt from taxation, the entire costs fall 10 the owners of about 800 lots.
 The lots must be assessed ac- cording to their location and valu- ation. For example, take the lit tie garden patch and compare it with the lot upon which the shingle mill stands. The garden patch is taxed Sa51.85, while the lot belong ing to the shingle company is tax ed $40 only, that being it's propor- tionate valuation according 10 it's location. Nor is that lot assessed any higher than any other in as good a location.
 Ks to the Whitfelds, who should not be condemned without q just hearing, it would be well Tor those raising the question of honesty to go to the office and inspect their work which consists of four maps which are masterpieces in their line. It has been noticed that, as q rule, the people who have raised the most objections are the ones who have not even been 10 the of- flee to see what work had been done. In the field every obstacle imaginable was surnounted. And it has been stated by an excellent surveyor, the work was we'll done.
 Therefore, to my fellowtouns- men l would say that 1 believe 1t to be a just assessment of all the prop erty, and would urge them to pay their assessments and receive their title as soon as possible so as not to retard the development of the town.
 Yours very truly,
