was afterwards found dead by the

Sheriff Bailey returned from Santa

Crime Carefully Planned.
According to circumstances coming
to light after the attempted crime
and suicide, both were carefully
planned. On the morning that the
crime was attempted Tyson went to
a friend and borrowed a rife, stating
that he wanted to use 1t to kill a coy

the road at an isolated place which
the girl had to pass on her way to
school. and when she made her APP

POLITICAL RE-
FORMS in ALASKA
Secretary BallingeP Jars the
Public Ofncials OF the
Far North

WASHINGTON, April 24.-Alaska
is no longer the place where the pork
barrel waxeth fat and the politician
fatter with age.
The territory to the far north
where the sun shines all night dur
ing the summer and mail is carried
over trails of ice and snow has ceased
to be the Msceafor the politician who
rendered distinguished services for
the party" In the states and who
took out his reward by being sent to
Alaska to get what he could and
work whom he could.
At last, Alaska is to have a real
American government-for the bene-
fit of the governed. This has come
about since Richard A. Ballinger has
been appointed Secretary of the In
terror under President Taft. Not
that President Roosevelt and Secre-
tary Garfield knowingly allowed
graft in the frozen territory, but
neither of them understood the prob
lens of government in that country
and then Roosevelt, who was a
great man for rewarding his political
friends, sent a great many of them
to Alaska. Many OF them did moi
know what to do when they got there
and this was as bad for the people o.
that section as deliberate misgovern
ment.
Secretary Balhnger is from Seat
tie, which is the first American por
Alaskans hit after they leave tina
country. And every one in Seattl'
knows something about Alaska. Thel
too, Secretary Ballinger has been t
Alaska and has come into intimat
contact with her needs, and he in
tends to see that she gets some of tn
benefit of this knowledge.
One of the first things he did whe
he was indicted into Office was to ID
sue a general order that governor
of territories were to stay at HON
and attend to their duties instead c
spending their winters in Washingto
playing politics and looking out fo
their friends. Governors of Alask
have made Washington their wintt
home for years. But the present vi
II of Governor Hoggatt to Washing
ton will be his last unless he come
on emergency business or Is sun
moned.
The next thing that Secretary Ba
linger did was to give notice that
applicants for positions in Alasl
must expect to work and not
graft, and must be practical busine
men.
When this announcement W
made. . score of politicians who h
tried everything else and were hopil
to get an Alaskan appointment, ga
up in disgust and went home.
Orders have been issued that eve

THE RETAIL PRICE OF BEEF.

Chicago Tribune.-The agricultural
department has been investigating the
price of beef in the large cities Of the
country. 1t finds that the retail cost
charged to consumers above the whole
sale price ranges from IL per cent III
Baltimore to 46 per cent in Chicago.
The lower the grade of beef the great
er the percentage of profit. 1t should
follow, therefore, that the proportion
ate consumption of that kind of beef
must be greater in Chicago than in
New York, where the retailers gross
profit is only 20 per cent.
Chicago housewives will say that
they know now why beef is so dear.
They will exonerate the wholesaler
and fall foul of the local butcher with
his 46 per cent of gross profit. But the
retailers betray no symptoms of great
wealth. Every now and then one OF
them fails in business. Most of them,
indeed, make little more than living.
The truth is there are so many of
them that they must make big profit
on what they sell in order to keep go
ing. AS the agricultural department
justly observes. "When twenty or
more small shops divide the retail
business within all area that could be
served by one large shop, the ex-
penses of the MANY shops for labor
horses, rent and other things that are
! in excess Of what would be sufficient
for the one shop must go into the re.
tail prices of the meat sold"
It is a convenience for lazy or busy
housekeepers to have meat market
! within a block or two 1t is a eonven
! fence to have the butcher call for or
ders. 1t is convenience to have him
deliver meat instead of Juggling it home
in market basket. But for all such
/ conveniences those who have the good
Of them must pay. If Chicago were
served by few central markets ard
all consumers took their purchases
home after the old fashion there
would undoubtedly be fall in the
retail price of meats.
But the old fashion will not return
The leisurely, critical, judicious mar
keting of the past is ended. People or
der meat, vegetables and fruit by tele
phone because it saves time. When tht
bill comes in they scold about the higt
prices and often about the inferior
quality.

Washington, D. c., Dec. 4.--Last bull
letin gave forecasts of disturbance to
cross continent to 8, warm wave
to 8, cool wave Z to II. The feature OF
this disturbance will be the great
change from winter to springlike
weather, threatening elements that
will bring rain to but few localities of
small extent and the lack of snow ex-
cept in the far north.
Next disturbance will reach Pacific
coast about 8, cross Pacific slope by
close of TO- great central valleys IL to
10, eastern states and provinces ID.
Warm wave will cross Pacific slope
about 8, great central valleys IL. east
ern states and provinces Is. Cool wave
will cross Pacific slope about IL, great
central valleys IA, eastern states l6.
This disturbance will send the aver
age temperatures still higher. Severe
storms are expected but not much pre-
cipitation and freezing weather will be
driven far northward. The warm
weather and small amount of rain and
snow will give farmers and planters an
excellent opportunity to deliver cereals
to the markets and as these deliveries
will be large they may have ten
dency to depress prices.
During that fine weather the late
corn will make it's first appearance on
the markets in considerable quantities
and by the close of December the coun,
try will be able to make fair estl'
mate of the 1909 corn crop.

Novel plan to Keen Town Dry.

North Liberty, Dec. 4.-The people
of North Liberty, determined that no
saloons shall ever be run in the place,
have adopted the plan of putting in
every deed provision that the prop
erty shall never be used for saloon pur-
poses or for the manufacture of liquor.
Nearly every piece of property sold
in North Liberty for several years is
subject to similar restriction rela-
tive to intoxicating liquors.
Just how much value such provis-
ion possesses in law is question. At
torneys claim that it would be void as
soon as the property passed into the
hands of a third person, citing case
taken to the supreme court from Grin
nell where there was such a holding.

is we'll known among railroad men,
one of the stanchest believers in the
old saying that economy is the road
to wealth" being James 7. Hill. The
story is told in the west that upon one
occasion when Mr.. Hill was looking
over piece of track he found new
railroad spike. Taking it to the boss
in charge Of that stretch of road he
handed it to him and said:
"You must be more careful. Nothing
must be wasted. Pick up all your
spikes as YOU go along"
''Why, Mr.. HILL" replied the boss
promptly, I've been payin' a man a
salary for three years to hunt for
that spike"
