SOUVENIR STAMPS.
Hudson Fulton Issue is Not Popular
With Businessmen.

Patrons of the local postoffice do
not take kindly to the new souvenir
Hudson-Fulton stamps, sixty million
OF which were issued by the United
States postonicc department in COM
memoratloh OF that celebration. The
principal objection seems to be to the
size, a half dozen of them almost en-
tirely covering the smaller envelopes.
Because OF this objection the stamps
are not sold by the postoffice clerks 20
business men and others who buy
large quantities. Although the stamp
is large, it is quite suitable for an
envelope where a single stamp is used.
Stamp collectors and others who de-
sire TO appear up-to-date at a limited
expenditure are well satisfied with
the stamp.
The Alaskan Yukon exposition was
also an occasion for new brand Of
stamps, somewhat smaller, however,
than the last souvenir issue. These
stamps have had their run and are
seldom called for. and others than
collectors are not breaking their necks
to get the last freak issue.

did not attempt to settle. AS far as
they were concerned nothing but stoI-
cal endurance awaited me.
The details of my preparation are

when the day arrived, very hot
very clean shack and very weary
hostess awaited the guests, together
with a lunch which was triumph OF
patience and peTspiration.

preparations. Six babies lay on the

Cocaine Evil Growing.

Cocaine is a growing evil. Put a
prohibitory duty on cocaine leaves as
has been done with crude opium. Co
caine leaves come in free and IN
enormous quantities. In 1906 there
were 2,650.141 pounds brought in, and
in the last three years 4,838,O00
pounds. The imports have gone up
fvefoId in a few years. Cut this off.
Put on a duty which will exclude this
import except for medicinal use. It's
use there will not be checked by a
high duty any more than in the case
Of opium. The use Of cocaine as mar
cotic grows by leaps and bounds be

Aid Society
BY I. L. M.

Just exactly what the organization
was primarily designed to aid, I dc
not know. 1t was called, however
the ladies aid society" shortened
for convenience into the aid" That
the men Of the community called it
the pow-wow" is neither here nor
there. All of us were eager for ad-
mission into the organization, for
while they sometimes sewed at the
weekly meetings they always ate,
which made the sessions joyful places
for homesteaders.
One day in August, when, I'm sure,
it must have been 80 degrees in the
icebox-had I possessed such a lux
ury-I received the information that
l was 10 be hostess at the next gath
ering of the members two days hence.
Life may have some hard problems
for me in years to come, but I do not
think l shall ever feel more helpless
than I did at that moment.
Our place of meeting depended up
on the will or sudden fancy of the
majority Of the members, and while
all Of US had extended tentative IN
yitations 10 the society to meet with
Us, there had been no definite dates
assigned US. Hence my state OF
mind.
Bear in mind that I am not an in
nospitable person, but that it was, as
! have already said, 80 degrees in the
icebox and that my fuel for cooking
was coal, in small laundry stove
that could throw out more heat than

were p members Of the Aid

BARON SHlBUsAWA BEsPEAKS
PERPETUAL RELATIONS OF
FRIENDSHIP.

Seattle, Sept. 6.-Nearly all OF the
1000 japanese living near Seattle Wis
tied the exposition Saturday to cele-
brate japanese day. In two parades
through the city streets and fair
grounds, the mixing OF the old and new
Japan was somewhat incongruous but
everything was picturesque. The city
parade was led by mounted semaruI
warriors in suits Of mail, looking like
a picture from the middle ages. Fol
lowing came dozens of automobiles
carrying the visiting Japanese COM
missioners wearing frock coats and
high hats. Young women in autOmo-
biles that followed dressed and acted
like Americans. The commissioners
spent much time in the exposition au-
ditorium, exchanging expressions OF
good will with their American hosts.
Baron ShibusaWa in a speech said.
Japan, in the last fifty years, sent
to America two important diplomatic
missions. These were sent by the
government of Japan. The present
one is sent by the people. It's object
is to complete and consolidate for all
time the relations of friendship so
well promoted by the two political
missions. Its precise object is to lay
the foundations Of friendly relations
on the sure basis of commerce and
mutual interest"
The commissioners were entertained
at dinner last night by citizens Of
Seattle. There was an elaborate fire
works display, the greatest feature of
which depicted the fall of Port Ar
