GOVERNOR THANKS PIONEERS

IT. the last firstClass mail arriving Bill McPhee received the following letter from Governor Clark: On Board Revenue Cutter Pear" at Seq. September 9 1910 Dear MT. McPhee: My time was so fully occupied on the journey down the river with the Cabinet officers that I did not find time to write you, as I fully intend ed to do. expressing once more the special pleasure that was afforded me by that sourdough dinner of the Pioneers. My visit in Fairbanks and on the creeks was from every point of view gratifying, but noth- ing gave me more pleasure than this highly complimentary recognition by the old timers. Whenever you see any of them in the near future, please give them one and all, my thanks.
 Faithfully yours,

Who Bossed.

Once upon a time youth who had commenced to navigate the sea of matrimony went 10 his father and said:
 Father, who should be boss. or my wife,"
 Then the old man smiled and said
 Here are one hundred chickens and team of horses. Hitch up the horses. load the chickens into the wagon. and wherever you find d man and his wife dwelling stop and make inquiry as to who is the boss. Wherever you find woman run ming things leave a chicken. If you come to place where a man is in control give him one of the horses" ."
 After seventy-nine chickens had been disposed of he came to a house and made the usual inquiry.
 I'm Loss O this ranch" said the man.
 Got 10 show me" said the youth
 So the wife was called and she af trmed her husbands assertion
 Take whichever horse you want" was the boys reply.
 So the husband replied: "Tll take the bay"
 But the wife didn't like the pay horse and she called her husband
 
 aside anG talked to him. He returned and said
 T believe Til take the gray horse"
 Not much" said Missouri, you will take a chicken"

GRAND JURY MAKES
 ITS REPORT
FIFTEEN DAY SESSION WAS BROUGHT TO 4 CLOSE
 LAST MONDAY.

The grand jury got through with it's Work on Monday and in the af- ternoon handed m it's report to Judge Oyerfeld The jury was just fifteen days in session. but in that time did a great deal of work and was highly Complimented by the Court for the expeditions manner in which it had gotten through with it's labors
 The report of the grand jury was as follows:
 To the Honorable Peter D. Overfeld.
 judge of the District Court Of the
 Territory of Alaska. Fourth Divfs-
 ion
 We, the grand jury for the gen eral August. 1910 term of this court duly convened on the 3rd day of October, 1910. respectfully beg to submit 10 your Honor the following report:
 We have investigated all matters wherewith We have been charged and have. from time to time. re turned such indictments as the tes- timony produced before Us pertain ing thereto seemed 10 justify
 We have returned ten indictments as true bills, wherein ten persons have been indicted. and have re turned a true bill We have exam ined siNty-seyeu witnesses in the course of our investigations.
 We wish to urge and to strongly recommend that a fund be provided by the government for the care, maintenance and burial of indigents outside of incorporated towns We make tEis recommendation general, but have in mind particularly the rescue and assistance that should be afforded unfortunates in winter time especially. as under present conditions the burden of rescuing and providing for such unfortunates falls wholly on the charity of the citizen. and the only way the gov ernment will lend it's assistance is by someone charging such person with VagTanCy or some other crime which enables the marshal to act. The marshars office, as well as members of the U. s. Signal Corps have used their best cndeayOrs and rendered good service in such mat ters. but believe further assistance along the line suggested ought to be provided.
 We would further recommend that provision be made for the appoint ment and maintenance of some per son in the nature of a secret agent to work in conjunction with the marshal and district attorney in the prevention and punishment of crime. We recommend this for the reason that the marshal has many civil duties to perform and he can act only on warrant or subpoena issued and neither the marshal nor the dis trict attorney have the means suffi- cient of carrying on such work. and We believe such an officer would be valuable in the administration of justice.
 We ask that the clerk of the

Bobby did not return 10 his study until in the afternoon. He found Johnson livid with abhOrren2e of Applerod's gaudy metamorphosis. That gentleman wore black frock coal, pin-striped light trousers, shin ing new shoes. sported q Gold-headed cane, and on the table was the glist ening new hat which had reposed on his snow-white curls His pink face was beaming as he arose to greet his partner

 Johnson, bumped over the desk licl Idl oilNt Dttll bODDN ldlueI snorted and looked up at the stern portrait of old John Burnit; then he drew from the index file which he had already placed upon the back of that desk gray-tinted envelope which he handed to Bobby with a silence that was more eloquent than words. It was inscribed:
 TO MY SON IF HE IS FOOL
 ENOUGH TO TAKE UP WITH
 APPLEROD'S SWAMP SCHEME
 Rather impatiently Bobby tore it open, and on the inside he found:
 When shrewd men persist in
 passing up an apparently cinch
 proposition, don't even try to find
 out what's the matter with it.
 In this six-cylinder age no really
 good opportunity runs loose for
 twenty-four hours
 If the governor had only arrang- ed to leave me this advice before hand instead of afterward," Bobby complained to Agnes Elliston that evening, ''it might have a chance at me-"
 "The How has fallen said Agnes, with mock seriousness; but you must remember that you brought it on yourself You have complained to me of your fathers carefuliy-laid

By the report filed on Wednesday by the ladies who had charge of the fair for the benefit of St. Josephs hospital it is shown that the hos pital was enriched to the extent of $3,o5625. The total receipts were $5,422.65, while the disburse- ments. Under the careful manage. ment of the ladies in charge. amounted to only S366.40.

A teacher in one of the elemen- tary schools had noticed a striking platonic friendship that existed be- tween Tommy and little Mary, two of her pupils.
 Tommy was bright enough youngster, but he wasn't disposed to prosecute his studies with much energy, and the teacher saw that unless he stirred himself before the end of the year he wouldn't be pro- noted.
 You must study harder" she told him. ''or else you won't pass. How would you like to stay back in this class another year and have little Mary go ahead of you?"
