IN interest on the bonds. A large
part of the bond issue had been taken
up in Canada by various banks and
financial institutions, the rest being
subscribed in the United States. The
Sovereign Bank of Canada was
among the heaviest holders of the
bonds, and the failure of the company
was in large degree responsible
for the subsequent failure of the
bank.
It is the prevailing belief among
those acquainted with the situation
that the road will eventually be re-
organized and extended at least to the
coal fields in the Matunauska coun-
try, for in no other way can those
who have advanced close to $4,000
900 toward the enterprise hope to re-
ceive any return on their investment.

ALASKA CENTRAL
To Be SOLD

Seattle, Oct 8.-The foreclosure
sale of the Alaska Central Railway,
according to advices from Valdez. is
to take place there tomorrow. 1t is
the general belief among financiers
that j. P. Morgan and Co. of New
York, through their connections with
Canadian financial institutions, hold
a considerable number of Alaska Gen.
trail bonds and that it Is the intention
of the firm to be a bidder at the fore
closure sale. George w. Perkins, a
Morgan representative, recently visit
ed Alaska and made thorough in
spection of the property.
The Alaska Central road has had
short but checkered career. When
it was started it was a rather preten-
tious affair. 1t was the intention to
have it extend from Seward to the
Tanana river, about 460 miles. About
so miles of the road were put in
operation in 1907 and there were
about 60 miles under construction,
while contracts had been let for 1856
additional miles.

BECAME CRUSOE FROM CHOICE
British Explorer Discovers Solitary
Tar Who Enjoys Life Ruling
Over Lonely Island.

The hOmeward voyage OF the MINI
rod, the vessel of the Shackleton ex-
petition, has been marked by the dis
covery on Macquaire island, nearly
600 miles northwest of New Zealand.
of modern NBobinson Crusoe-a soli-
tary inhabitant with two dogs.
The Nimrod, under the command of
Capt. J. K Davis, left Sydney on May
s, and, says Reuter-, in accordance
with Lieut.. Shackleton's instructions,
proceeded south in order to visit Mac
quaire island and search for certain
charted groups of islands, the actual
existence of which was doubtful. Mac
quaire island was discovered in the
early part of the last century by
colonial sealing vessel 1t is 81 miles
long and five miles broad and is the
home of countless myriads of PEN
gums, sea birds and seals.
A visit was paid to the southeast
point of the island and some speci-
mems collected, and then the Nimrod
proceeded along the coast northward.
AS she drew near Nugget point, from
which a reef of rocks extends for
some distance seward, two huts were
seen on the shore and also the wreck
of a vessel high and dry on the beach.
III Ills lSpOAt SoPt- laws soy
Suddenly, to our surprise, column
of smoke rose from the smaller of the
two huts. AS we had heard nothing of
anyone living on the island, this was
extraordinary. Presently, with the
glasses, we could make out the figure
of a man standing at the door of the
smaller of the huts watching our ap-
proach We came to anchor, and the
boat was lowered and headed for the
shore.
THE man now walked down to the
beach, accompanied by two little dogs.
There was a heavy surf, but our Cru
soe-like friend, after pointing out the
best landing place, walked into the
water and assisted in Bleaching the
boat.
1--WE soon ascertained that his name
was William McKibben, and that he
had been a member of a party which
had visited the island in the previous
season in order to obtain seal and pen
gum oil When the season was over
and the party's vessel was filled with
barrels of oil he had elected to remain
on the island by himself in order to
collect oil for the following season.
He did not mind the loneliness at all. /"

Every visitor at the new capitol at

Appetite comes in eating" say the
French. And assuredly the talking
and writing INDUCED in on the subject
of matrimonial jars increases them to
an astonishing extent. The mere ack-
now1edgement of the tiny pinpricks
magnifies them, to say nothing of the
dissertation of the dear old loyalty
that washed (if there was any to
wash its dirty linen at home, and
turned a smiling and unruffled face
toward the cold criticism of the world.
Apart from nature having elected to
handicap the fairer sex in a physical
sense-an injury that even the most
disconnected new woman must surely
recognize the futility of railing
against, more especially since, with
out an effort on her own part, it OBJ
tains countless concessions from the
opposite sex-apart from this one i'm
mense superiority of man-and where
in lies the best that husbands in
general are said to enjoy?
Woman Often to Blame?
A freer, more diversified life? I'm
doubleday; but, in nine cases out of
ten, the woman who so bitterly COM
plains of the "monotony" of her life
is largely herself to blame. She has
laid herself-a willing sacriflce-upon
the altar of home and children, and
then grumbles when the sacrifice is
unthinkingly accepted
Paradoxica1 as it may sound, wom-
anly unselfishness is at the root of
much married trouble. The wife lays
upon her slender shoulders more than
any one pair can carry, and, when
she fails beneath the unreasonable
load blames Providence and the mar
riage state, grows discontinued, sharp
tempered, and is actually less desir-
able wife and mother than more
commonsensical, if selfish, sister, who
lives up to the belief that all work
and no play makes Jill an exceeding
ly dull and morbid creature.

TAKE CARE OF GOOD HEALTH
Mistake Most People Make Is in Wait
ing for Bad to Come and
Then Coddling 1t.

If we would take as good care of
our good health as we do of our bad
health we would have more of the
former and less of the latter. We set
our good health down in draft and
let it get its feet wet; we infringe on
it's sleep time and gorge it with I'M
suitable food at irregular hours We
load it with nerve-racking cares and
duties, and reply to its frantic ap-
peals for rest with, you haven't
time" We squeeze it with clothing;
we distract it's ears with noise and its
lungs with bad air. But we put our
bad health in a quiet room, on a soft
couch. We robe it in a comfortable
gown; we give it pure air at stated
intervals; we put ice on its head and
hot water at its feet; we feed it with
food convenient for it. We take
away all care and responsibility; we
give it soothing draught to rest it;
and we pay a doctor two dollars to
come and leave it a scrap of paper
and say that it will better tomorrow
One might think we preferred bad
health to good health. From an ar
