in their private car, loaded down with
frontier costumes and paraphernalia,
including eight huskies or Malmute

who formerly used them to carry the
United States mail in Alaska, says a
Truckee dispatch to the San Francisco
Chronicle.
Recently they took an Alaskas scene.
One of the woman members of the
company, dressed in Alaskan costume
on snowshoes, was pursued through
the woods by pack of dogs represent

hausted, with the dogs close on her
heels, several men with guns rushed
on the scene just in time to save her
life.
The heaviest scene will be series

will be on Doner Lake, which is COM

GoMPERs REPLIES TO
PRESIDENTS SPEECH

Washington, April 9. - When the
speech of President Taft to the bust
ness men of South Bethlehem. declar
ing he was not in favor of boycotts
was called to the attention of Presi
dent Gompers of the American FEEDER.
alton of Labor, he said:
THE Presidents utterance is confir.
matory, as well as disappointing-dis.
appointing that he would carry his for
mer attitude toward labor to the logi
cal conclusion, confirmatory of his ut.
terances and actions in every material
issue in which the real interests of
labor was involved.
According to the Presidents posi-.
ton it is not the governments concern
how brutally and inhumanly the work.
ers OF concern are treated; it mat.
tiers not whether American workers
are displaced by the lowest elements
of foreign labor-coolie, Japanese or
Slav-it is simply a question of pro.
duct. So long as the product is &C.
ceptable, the producers may do as they
please.
"The President stands pat on the
tariff on products from foreign coun.
tries and stands equally pat on the
free trade in labor from all climes and
under any conditions"

NO GOVERNMENT AID
FOR ALASKA RAIL ROADS.

Washington, D. c., April 9.-The
hackers of the project to have the gov.
eminent guarantee the interest on a
bond issue for the construction of a
trunk line railroad in Alaska from Val
DEE through the interior, met with dis.
couragement by the committee on ter.
ritories. Chairman Hamilton frankly
told the promoters he believed the
government would decline to lend it's
aid to any project unless large pub.
lie benefit was concerned.
Oliver p Hubbard informed the com.
mittee $5O,O0O,O0O had been invested
along the route of the proposed line
and his company believed the govern
ment should lend aid in the project. 1t
is proposed to issue bonds of $4,000

MEN ALSO HAVE RIGHTS.

Mans Breach Of Promise Suit Fore
shadows Penalties for Women.
If women are to have the rights
that men enjoy, with those rights, II
may be, will go certain penalties, the
New York Telegraph says. 1t may
even be perilous for woman to
change her mind about the important
question of matrimony. Leicester M.
Pond, an architect of Spokane, Wash,
has brought suit against Miss Bessie
Kelley, described as a prominent So
ciety bud of Poughkeepsie, N. Y. Mr..
Pond used to live in Poughkeepsie,
and he and Miss Kelley belonged to
the same tennis club, and, according
to his sworn statement, became en-
gagged on June 2, 1908. Then Mr.. Pond
moved to Spokane and established him.
self as an architect. The date for the
wedding was fixed for June %. 1909,
and on April 26 preceding the date
their engagement was announced.
Mr.. Pond left Spokane on June 10,
1909, for Poughkeepsie and arrived
there q week later. Miss Kelley asked
to have the wedding postponed, and,
Pond consenting, it was put on until
October of last year. He went back to
Spokane and in July received letter
from Miss Kelley telling him the en-
eagement was broken and there would
be no wedding.
After thinking the matter over for
some time Mr.. Pond brought suit
against Miss Kelley for $4,000.
IN. B.-Miss Kelley has no money
but her father has millions)
In his complaint Mr.. Pond declares
that he spent $500 in preparing Tor
the wedding and that he wishes the
balance because Of mental grief, morti-
fication, humiliation, ridicule and con-
tempt of business associates.
IF a woman is entitled to damages
for these things, is not man also!
Are they not both on the same ievei!
The outcome of the suit may make q
precedent.

What "Mercerized" Means.

Mercerized cotton was first intro
duced as a substitute for silk some ten
or twelve years ago, although the pro-
cess of making it was invented about
1910 by celebrated English dyer,
John Mercer. He discovered that when
cotton, either in cloth or yarn, was sub
jected for a short time to the action
of strong caustic alkali, and then thor
oughly, washed, the resulting material
was much stronger than before, had
shrunk very considerably and had a
much greater affinity for dyestuffs.
Mercer patented his discovery and
made some use of it in calico printing,
but the process was nearly forgotten
until, in 1889. it was discovered that
by proper treatment cotton could by
this means be made so lustrOus as to
compare not unfavorably with silk.
To make cotton lustrous, the goods,
after dipping into the strong alkali,
are kept firmly stretched, and their
strong tendency to shrink resisted, I'M
til the alkali has been thoroughly
rinsed of and the last traces neutral
lied with a little acid. II this is done
carefully, when finally dried the cot
ton fibres will be found drawn out
smooth and lustrous. while still retain
ing their new qualities of strength
and increased dyeing power. To get
good results in this process the mate
rails treated, whether in yarn or cloth,
must be made of the very best and
longest stapled cotton, preferably Egyp.
tian, and when well done the results
are extremely satisfactory. The lustre
Is not as good as the very best silk,
but it is quite well marked and for
replacing the cheap grades of heavily
weighted silks, as. for instance, for I'M
derwear, Innings, etc., the mercerized
goods are of very great value, owing
to their strength and durability, as
well as their cheapness. Craftsman.

MoDocs' EXILE ENDED.

They Return to Oregon After Forty
Years. Imprisonment.
The Modoc Indians IN Oklahoma are
going home-not to the lava beds in
California, whence they were taken to
the Quapaw Indian reservation nearly
forty years ago, but to the Klamath
reservation of the Modocs In Oregon.
where they will get land in exchange
Tor their allotments in Oklahoma, the
Kansas City Times says.
The Modocs have been homesick ever
since they went to Oklahoma, and their
return to the Northwest is the result
OF their constant appeal to the author
tiles at Washington.
The removal Of the Modocs to Okla
hcma followed their defeat after their
bloody campaign against government
troops in the lava beds, where they
were commanded by Capt. Jack. They
assassinated and butchered all except
two Of the peace commission sent to
them by the Secretary of War.
When the Modocs reached Oklahoma
there were thirty-nine men, fifty-four
women and sixty children, many of
when were sorely wounded Among
them were such notable leaders as
Scarfaced Charley, Steamboat Frank
and Shacknasty Jim. Age and disease
have cut down the Modocs until onl.
sixty remain. Nearly all their old
leaders have died.
In going to the klamath country
from which they fed when they en-
tered the lava beds in California, these
Modccs will be among the klamath
;dodocs, whom they thoroughly hate
and despise because of the arrogance
of the klamath band.
The Oklahoma Modocs we're moved
from California to Oregon, only to
have their Oregon kinsmen say to
them:
"You can stay here, but it is our
country. Your horses can eat the
grass, but it is our grass. You can
catch fish, but they are our fish,"
This was more than Capt. Jack and
his people could bear, and they stole
away and returned to their old haunts
in California When the Federal gov
eminent tried to make them go back
to Oregon the Modocs began fighting
and sought refuge in the inaccessible
lava beds.
A commission was sent to treat with
them. The commission established its
camp about two miles from the retreat
of the Modocs. in the lava beds, and
midway was pitched tent at which
the council should be held.
No sooner had the commissioners as
sembled in the tent than they found
that death was at hand. Capt. Jack
suddenly shot Gen. Candy, adviser OF
the commissioners. Rev. Ebenezer
Thomas, a commissioner, also was
slain and his body robbed and mutt
lated. Two of the commissioners es-
capped.
The United States government then
put large body Of troops in the field
and the Modocs were pursued night
and day until they surrendered, Oct
II, 1873. Capt Jack, Black Jim, Bos
ton Charley and Schronchin Jim were
hanged at Fort klamath, Ore, for the
murder of Candy and Thomas. Soon
afterward the California Modocs were
taken to Indian Territory.

WHAT CAME OF A NICKNAME

Incongruous nicknames may lead
those who bear them into strange mis-.
haps. In Family Names and Their
Story" the Rev. S. Baring-Gould tells
what befell girl whose intimate
friends and family called her Jack
Spratt." One winter, when living in
a German town with her father, Col.
onel Smith, the man she was engaged
to sent her a letter which he thought.
lessly addressed to Miss Jack Spratt.'
Two days later messenger arrived at
Colonel Smiths door with summons
to attend at the postofice the next
morning between eight o'clock and
noon.
He obeyed, and found that the sum-
mons concerned the letter.
Who was Jack Spratt? How long
had he been an inmate of the colonePs
house? No intimation of such a per-
son had been sent to the police, and
according to law, no stranger could re-
side for over three days in the town
without legitimation by the police.
The colonel, in broken German, ex-
planned that his daughter was familiar
ly known as Jack Spratt.
He was requested to take a seat
while the police were communicated
with. Half an hour later the head OF
the police arrived, and the matter was
discussed between him and the post
master.
The chief of police then, turning to
the colonel, stated that he had the pa
per of legitimation Of Miss Isabel
Smith, but not of Jack Spratt.
In vain did Colonel Smith reiterate
his statement that this was joke.
German officials do not comprehend
Jokes. and it was finally concluded that
the latter must be opened to ascertain
to whom 1t actually was addressed.
The letter was opened. 1t began:
my dear Jack. You are a regular
ripper
when this was read the face Of the
Oberpolizei became grave.
DER wahrhaftige Aufschneider!" he
exclaimed. 1--WE have at last obtained
a clue to the discovery of the criminal
who a few years ago committed such
atrocious acts in London, and who has
been the author of similar cases re-
Gently in Berlin"
The colonel explained that ripper
was a term of admiration and endear-
ment much affected by lovers and
young ladies.
The police assumed a still sterner
expression. Herr Oberst," said he,
"this passes everything a person
calling himself gentleman should ad-
dress to a lady delicately brought up
a disgusting and horrible epithet de-
rived from the acts of Jack the Ripper
as a term Of endearment and common
dation. Herr Oberst, you must under
stand that, under the circumstances,
your house must be subjected to
domiciliary visit"
Doubtless no one had ever dreamed
that q little girl who was nicknamed
Jack Spratt because she could eat no
fat would ever, on account Of the nick
name, be the cause Of SO grave 9 as
turbance in German ofhcialdom.
