THAT DETENTION HOSPITAL.

Because the bill apprOpriating $25.- 900 for the erection and equipment of detention hospitals for the insane at Fairbanks and Nome failed to make any provision for the purchase of a site for the hospitals there is a considerable danger that the build ing may not be erected here until Congress shall have rectified the CT TOT and made another appropriation necessary land. As Alaskans have already had many examples of the celerity with which Congress works for Alaska none will be enthusiastic of getting any immediate results. It has been frequently held that no part of the money appropriated for the erection of a government building shall be expended on a site. and properly drawn bills provide that the appi opriation shall include both site and erection If this bill had done so the judge and marshal of this division could at once call for bids for the erection of the building. and go right ahead with it as soon as the governor of the territory had given his approval to the plans The way the matter stands now, how ever, there is every likelihood that at the coming short session congress will be too busy to pay heed to any such matter as this for Alaska, and We shall have to wait until the new Congress has settled down to work next spring This means waiting for about another year for the bill to be signed.
 But there is another way out of the difficulty. If site were donated the work could be commenced at once, and this. Judge Overfeld states, is the course which would be pursued. Here is a splendid oppor- tunity for some philanthropist who has the welfare of the city at heart, and couple of lots on his hands

AUSTRALIAN BALLOT,

lt iS earnestly to be hoped that the Delegate will succeed, before the nex, election. in getting enact ed law which will give to Alas ka the Australian ballot and a reg istration system. Past elections have demoytraled that the "White'' vote of the country might easily be snbverted and rendered nugatory by the wholesale voting of a lot of transients. who have absolutely no interest in the country beyond the summer job on railroad or at a cannery that it affords If Alaskans are to perpetuate their right 10 in dicate their wants by their bal lots il is time to take steps to maintain the inviolability of those ballots.

A Good Beginning

are making mistake in not marry ing Jenny now. Start in with what you have and it will grow"
 Dick Larramore was very much i'm. pressed with his aunt's advice. He ] talked with Jenny about it. and they agreed that they would make a be. ginning at once Together they could raise S15 and they knew of cot tage they could get for $20 a month. They fixed a date for their wedding and began to hunt for furniture that they could pick out at a small cost.
 One day Dick heard of an auction sale of household goods that was to take place in neighboring village and concluded to go over and see II he could get anything that would help him and Jenny at their house keeping. He bought a dining table for S4 and a sideboard for $6. Among other things put up for sale was a basket full of shells, eggs and other oddities. Dick had always taken great interest in curious things and had quite a collection of old dirk knives, bits of uncommon metals, shells and other articles. There were two large eggs in the basket he saw at the auction that excited his curiosity He had never seen eggs of that size or shape. He forgot for the time being that he needed furniture and began to bid on the basket of curios. An old woman seemed to covet them and Lid against him till she had rais- ed her offer to s7. Dick bid $725, and the basket was knocked down to him.
 That brought him to his senses He had invested about onetenth of all he had to spend on furniture in basket of worthless trinkets. He was so disgusted with himself that he left the auction and drove home.
 The boldest thing he had ever thus far done was facing Jenny, showing her. among his purchases, the basket of knickknacks
 Why, Dick." she exclaimed when she saw the latter.
 Dick hung his head.
 They'll make a nice ornament for our sitting room," said the girl, see ing by Dicks rueful appearance that he regretted his purchase as much as she did, and, putting her arms around his neck, she gave him a kiss
 What big eggs those are!" she said. What bird laid them?"
 '1 don't know" said Dick, and don't care"
 We'll ask Prof. Drummond"
 Jenny showed Professor Drummond the eggs, and he pronounced them auk's eggs.
 Whats an auk?" asked Jenny.
 Alcidae-swimming birds with pointed bill, very short wings and legs placed very far back. Penguins belong to the alcidae family. I'm not sure" he continued, examining the eggs critically, but these are eggs of the great auk."

NEW YORK, Oct 1. - It is m derstood that Colonel Roosevelt was very much opposed to the adoption of the tariff plank at the Saratoga convention but was afraid to voice his objections for fear a too radi- cal declaration against it would jeo, pardize the Republican ticket.
