Dear Colonel Townsend
Since my last letter from London
derry, Ireland, I've been intending
to write YOU, but diversions and en-
ticements Of this gay city made me
fall an easy victim of such numer'
Gus pleasures, that l haven't really
had time until now. To resume
where I left off; I found Ireland so
cold and inclement during our short
stay that my opinion Of its hospi-
table shores was not what it might
have been had the weather been
more kindly. Taking a miserable
little steamer having no under
cargo, but crowded above with $50
head of cattle, from Londonderry I
was introduced to what a rough
night on the Irish Sea conveyed to
those who have experienced this
sensation. We landed after twelve
hours of this bufeting at Neptunes-
will, at Glasgow, Scotland, a most
thriving and busy city of nearly
500, 900 inhabitants, sixty miles
from the sea on the Firth OF Clyde.
Here most wonderful development
has taken place in short time.
In 1908 there was a population of
II 900, but the tobacco trade with
America started a great boom that
ended with the establishment of
and manufacturing enter
prises rivaling those Of any city in
the empire. The Clyde from
depth of three feet was dredged to
allow the passage Of the largest
ocean liners; immense sums were
spent in building wharves and
docks; all this on borrowed money,
so that now Glasgow from being
not only the commercial metropolis
of Scotland, is second city in Great
Britain. Many beautiful parks, col
leges and museums grace the city
and interested me considerably.
From Glasgow the itinerary to
Edinburgh took US through the pic
lakes of Lomond and Kat
rine, and the ruggid and bold re-
gion of the Trossacks via Aberfoyle
and Sterling. In Edinburgh we
found what is called the most beau
tiful city in Europe, rich in history
and in legend, and most attractive
to travellers. The Castle is the
central portion of the town. 1t is
on a precipitous rock 500 feet above
the valley, and accessible only
from the east. Here we found many
relicts suggesting the wild and reck-
less character of the great and war
like Scottish rulers, the most re-
loved and least trusted Of
whom was Mary Queen of SCOTS,
filing her unique place in the des-
inv Of the Scottish nation. Holly
wood Place built by David l, is
interesting in connection with some
IF the intrigues and assassinations
,ontrived by Mary Stuart. 1t is /

situated at the foot of the rocky
elevation on the east. The Castle
was considered in olden days as inn
pregnable from its almost inacces-
sable position, but modern artillery
would speedily cause its evacuation
now. In Edinburgh many beauti-
ful public buildings abound. The
University is a noted set Of structur-
es, while the galleries were filled
with very good paintings. Edin-
burgh contains the most famous Of
the relics of the old Scottish great
ness, and is graced by many impOs-
ing and beautiful monuments,
statutes, etc. After delightful and
instructive stay in this city, by
rapid touring I visited New Castle,
Durham and York, returning to
my starting point, the largest city
in the world, London.
New Castle is an industrial city
situated on the Tyne river and oc
cupies three hills. Durham stands
on a hill surrounded by the river
Wear;its Castle and Cathedral are
about its only attractions; the Cas-
tie now being used for college.
The cathedral with vast and shape
" towers crowns an eminence, and
makes the most prominent land
mar k for many miles around.
To una erstand the grandure and
beauty Of the excellent cathedrals
of the old world, it is absolutely
necessary that they should be seen,
but in lieu of that it should be rea-
lized that several centuries Of con-
tinual work were required by skill
ful masons for their completion;
and wonderfully imposing and
splendid piles some of them are,
all of stone from foundation to roof,
and supported by enormous col
umus, artistically shaped. In about
the centre ofeach cathedral running
to either side a short ways to give
the effect of a cross, are the tran
scepts. Toward the east end is
the choir where services are held |
In the west end statues, monu-
ments, ETC., adorn and lend to
the beauty. Battle flags and tab /
lets commemorating heroes and |
great men, are seen in all of them,
while below the churches are the
crypts containing the ashes Of de-
parted saints, heroes and illustrious
men and women.
The cathedral at Durham was
the grandest piece Of architecture
we saw until we reached York. |
York is the old Roman town men
toned in its records of Roman rule
as Ehoricum. It is said to have /
been founded in 9S3 B. c., and was
a great Roman military station.
The city walls II miles around are
still in good state of preservation,
but of course have from time to
time been repaired. York's cathe-
dral is by many said to be the most |
wonderful work that came from the !
hands of man. 1t dates from the

Most of the older ones remember the day of the fashioned rag carpet and how it gradually gave place to ingrains and Brussels. Some of the purse-proud ones would have been ashamed to dis play rag carpet even in their sittin' rooms. But styles have changed and the old-fashioned hit-en miss carpets are now new-fashioned, and the design is even worked into art-squares and rugs. Merchant P. H. Fox has num- Der of the latter on display, and to those who remember the old fashion the new is a treat to see.

Tenderly she laid the silent, white form beside those that had gone be- fore. She made no outcry, she did not weep. Such moment was too precious to be spent in idle tears. But soon there came a time when it seemed na, ture must give way. She lifted her voice and cried long and loud. Her cry was taken up by others and echoed and re-echoed over the grounds. Then suddenly all was still. What was the use of it all? She would lay another tomorrow. Remember the poultry show date, January l, 2 and 4. Come bring the birds and the folks.-Oska, loosa Independent.

The Nervous Mother

An Atchison woman who is very nervous and inclined to worry is the mother of boy, She recently read of a boy who was killed by roller skating aud immediately put her sons roller skates in the fire. Another newspaper told of boy who was killed riding the street cars, and as boys are frequently killed while walking by street cars run ming over them she chained her boy to the front door. Then she read of boy who died of blood-poisoning caused by his shoes rubbing his heel, and her boys shoes and stockings came off. The story of boy who bit off a button on bis waist and choked to death re- suited in her taking off her boys clothes. He had left only flannel shirt, and she is reading now that wear. ing flannel shirts is the cause of great mortality, and is thinking of removing that.-Atchison (Kan.) Globe.

The Earth Quakcs

A press dispatch received by the Daily Alaska Dispatch yesterday, over the Canadian land lines, says: "At $50 yesterday afternoon a severe earth quake shock visited the entire Wash ington coast and Vancouver island. The earth trembled and caused great excitement among the people. Build -iugs in Blaine aud Bellingham were cracked and people shaken from their feet. The cable to Alaska went out of commission at the same time, and is believed to be broken near Cape Flat tery, at which point the shock was quite severe"
 Although the shock was not felt on Douglas Island, Lawson creek, which flows into the sea about a half mie north of Douglas, went through some queer tautrums about that time. For a week or more the creek has been frozen solid and the water running over the top has piled up mountains of ice. Monday afternoon the ice sud denly raised from the bottom of the the creek bed aud the stream resumed it's accustomed course and bubled on contentedlY.

School Notes

The week will begin the work with the botany apparatus. We have all ready set up an experiment. testing osmotic pressure.
 The High school had an interesting program and the former standard Of debate was upheld. There will be a de- bate next Friday.
 The seventh and eighth grades are preparing history work for the fair ex- hibit
 Mrs. A. Hopp, Mrs. E. Smith and Mrs. J. Mcdonald were visitors of the seventh and eighth grades on Friday at their program. They had a very inter- esting debate on the subject, "Resolved that the A.-Y.-P Exposition will be more beneficial to Seattle than Alaska" lone Mcdonald and Peter Johnson on the affirmative and Mabel Knutson and Will Smith on the negative, which was the winning side.
 The Potlach society of the fifth aud sixth grades met last Friday and elect ed their officers: John Laughlin, pres ident; Walter Pelton, vice president; Colville Galwas, secretary; Edith Jack son, treasurer.
 Mir. Hassel was a visitor to all the rooms on Thursday last.
 We learn that two of our patrons started out to visit the high school on Friday last but did not reach there. Our advice to them is to start early and not play on their way to school.
 After the fire alarm this week the pupils were out of the building in four teen seconds.

The effort that is being made by the city council to take care of the water supply should have the earnest ap- proval and help of every resident ot the town. It is only when the wind is bowling and the roofs are dry that we begin to realize how much Douglas Is at the mercy of fire should it once get a good start. With a few thousand gallons of water we might and prob ably would be able to save the town from destruction, but if we have wasted that water and the tanks are empty, 1t is all off with Douglas. Now then, If t&zr1 is a man in Douglas, knowing what we have stated to be fact, who will allow the water to run to waste at such times as we have been having, the mere penalty of having the water shut off from his premises is indeed letting him off easy. We know that there has been needless waste of water in Doug las. However, we are not prepared to say that those who are so wasteful have a thorough knowledge of conditions and realize what their carelessness might mean for the town. Now is the time to economize with water, aud not after it is gone. Every person in the town is interested, or should be, even if their property interest consists only in a pair of extra socks and a dirty shirt.

The Transcript, which has a grudge against the Treadwen company for some reason or other and never lets a chance go by to do little knocking, will retain the respect of it's readers better if it will refrain from unkind remarks about men who are dead. The uufor- tunate young man who met his death at Treadwell last week was not strike breaker. He probably never knew that there had been a strike at Treadwell, and if he did he knew that it was all over. The fact that few remnants of the strikers are still hanging on to what is left of their organization and that they advise workingmen through the advertising columns of the Tran script to stay away from the jobs that they don't want, should not and does not prevent any man from accepting employment there. And it is not right nor proper to insult the memory of the dead. If the Transcript wants to call names let it jump onto the living.

In this year of grace, 1908, our presi- dent, Theodore Roosevelt, church mem- Der, man of letters, soldier and states. man, will soon travel many thousands of miles armed with the latest sporting gear, to seek out in their forest homes animals that have the right to live and that enjoy the splendor of their strength and freedom as much as he does. The president will lie in ambush and kill the beasts that are luckless enough to cross his path. It will all mean to him just grand holiday and some roaring good fun in the killing ot these animals for the mere wanton pleasure of killing something.-N. Y, Herald.
