BRE|TMEYER WILL
Be HARD To REACH
SELECTS INNER OFFICE AS HIS
SANCTUM so AS TO AVOID
INTRUSION.

There has been a Encouragement OF
the mayors Office since Mayor Brett
meyer took hold. Formerly visitors
waited in the main outer chamber OF
the office while Mayor Thompson con-
Quoted business in the second office
and his secretary and stenographer
held forth In the third office.
The third and most inmost office
Is now the mayors however. Those
who have business with the executive
Will first meet the mayors messenger
or Sergt. Hicks In the outer office, pass
review at the eyes of Secretary Van
Fleet In the second room and get to
the mayor In the third Office. Brett
meyer expects TO be very busy for a
long time TO come, and this arrange
ment will guard him from intrusion.
The suggestion made In the in
augural message that the board OF as
essors be increased to five members
comes from information furnished by
the assessors themselves as TO the
scope OF their work and the necessity
of help. 1t is believed that Assessors
Plass and Doran would be retained il
the board be increased, while Assessor
Nagel. the youngest member OF the
board, would be the one TO lose, two
new Republican assessors and one
Democrat being chosen TO fill out the
board.
With regard to his plan for macad-
amizing residence streets, the mayor
wishes 1t understood that he does not
mean To have limestone macadam
pavement which would be dusty and
subject to several objections. He
would prefer trap rock pavement
with some tar process surface. On
streets where this would be laid, there
Is little travel. and he figures that 1t
would cost only about rs per cent as
much as block pavement and last much
longer

CHILDREN BARRED IN
NEW PARIS TENEMENTS

PARIS. Jan. 13-Children are not
wanted in the new modern tenements
which are being constructed all about
Paris.
The landlords are having printed In
their leases that any tenant who at
any time shall have as many as three
children under ten years OF age. must
Immediately quit the premises. In
houses OF the better class. the rule
is generally that not more than two
children under ten are allowed.

chance whatever, and yet some people
wonder why Paris is rapidly becoming

Rough House on Boat

Because porcupine passenger got into the bunk of an Italian traveller Tn the steerage of the Pennsylvania and made rough house for the dago, Billy Young, steward of the steamer,threatens a lawsuit for damages against Senator Hill of the Valdez Bar, who induced Young to transport the porcupine to Seattle.
 The pOrcupine was riding in box in the steerage and one night escaped from his dungeon aud found his way into the Italians bunk. He was lying peacefully on top of the blanket when the dago awoke and began to stir around. The porcnpine followed suit, and according to the customs of his tribe switched his tail violently, filling the blanket with quills. The man jumped out of bed and in so doing stuck few quills to his hide and got one firmly fastened in toe. Then he danced and yelled and finally sought the steward and inquired: "Whatta. hella you do to me? You putta damma thistle in my bed. cutta your damma heart outT
 It took the rest of the night to get the porcupine back into his box and the auills out of the Italian and his bed, and every night after that until the porcupine was delivered to Dave Blake in Seattle, Young rode night mare with porcupiue saddle.-Valdez Prospector.

Going to Canada

Ottawa.-This year 10000 American citizens, all of whom constitute most desirable class of immigrants, will cross the border into Canada, become British subjects, and reap their share of the golden harvest of the great Can adian west. This will be an increase of from 50 to 60 per cent over the number of American settlers who settled in western Canada last year.
 Such was the substance of the re- marks of Mr. M. J. White, inspector of Canadian immigration agencies in the United States, who has just returned from an extended trip through the cen tral and western states in his official capacity.
 'UThese are splendid class of peo- ple." continued MT. White. "Practi- cally all of them are taking with them into our domain as much as S25,OOO or S3O,OOO. Many of them have sold their farms in the states for from S60 to S10O an acre, and when they come across to Canada they are going to bring with them their sons, to establish them on cheaper aud better farms in this coun- try.
 "What has assisted the movement this year has been the opening of the pre- emption areas, making it possible for settler to acquire 320 acres, in- stead of 16O as formerly"

Alaska the Dunping Ground


 The following story comes from San Francisco and serves to illustrate the methods that are being adopted all over the country to get rid of obje2- tionable citizens by sending them to Alaska:
 San Francisco.-John Joseph Griffin, known here as the "Man Without a Country" who attempted to escape from the hold of the liner Mariposa, where he was held prisoner, was on Saturday granted permission by Su- perior Judge Conley to go to Alaska.
 For five years Griffin has been buff fetted about the world, denied landing at every port at which he called. His trou bles began when he was sentenced in this city by Judge Cook to five years imprisonment for burglary. ln view of the fact that this was his first offense, the sentence was suspended on the condition that he quit the coun- try. He was denied haven at Tahiti, and at every other port where the yes sel which carried him touched.
 Arriving here on the liner Mariposs on Wednesday and learning that of fcers were in waiting for him, he wrote note stating that he had committed suicide, and bid himself in the hold of the vessel, awaiting an opportunity to escape. He was brought before Judge Conley on Saturday and told his story When he appeared in court Judge Cook, who sentenced him five years ago, and Prison Commissioners Mont gomery interceded for him, and he was granted permission to go to Alaska, where his two friends have found him employment.

surpass all previous entertainments
given In the Ancient City along this
line. The celebration will begin
March 81 and continue through the
two following days. Every event OF
importance connected with the history
OF the city will be presented by
courtiers and soldiers in historically
correct costumes. There will be
hundreds OF Indians and Spanish. Eng
lish, French and United States troops
in the various parades. The social
functions OF the week will also be Of
the most entertaining character and
there is no doubt OF the Ancient
City being crowded with visitors dur

twenty minutes. and the process will
be reversed during the four Sundays
