by the amount you send the local circulation. It is gone never to re- turn. If, on the other hand, you spend your dollars with home con cerns, indirectly some of it returns to your cofGers. This is a self eyid- ent fact, apparent to everyone who gives thought to the matter, very properly observes the Seward Gate way.
 Just for example, take commercial printing. The Gateway office is equipped with a printing plant suffi- cieut for the requirements of a town of this size. It can turn out a qua Itiy of work good enough for any concern in Seward. And yet we have noted that some concerns send much of their printing to the outside ra- ther than give the local office the order. They claim they can make small saving. This is conceded when we look no further than di- rect saving on specific order. But i,diractIv those concerns would as- sist themselves by helping other To, cal enterprises in every possible way. IF the Gateway could get all the commercial printing in Seward, two more we'll paid printers would be em- ployed. a typesetting machine would be added to the equipment and a much better and larger paper would be published.
 These remarks are not made in a spirit of criticism nor are we com plaining of lack of support On the contrary no other town of equal population in the United States

HAYNES STANDS FOR HOME RULE

Last fall when Delegate Wicker sham asken and obtained the en- dorsement of the Pioneer Press in his cabled request to President Taft for home rule. we stated that an over' whelming majority of the people of Haines favored this measure.
 If there was any doubt to the truth of this statement it was settled at the incorporation election. Incorpor- ation meant nothing more or less than home rule at home and just about 80 per cent of the voters of Haines put themselves on record as favoring home rule.
 This is gratifying, not alone to the home rule element of Haines, but to the great majority of the people of Alaska. Sraws show the direction of the wind.-Haines Pioneer Press.

HAYNES COMMENCES A NEW ERA OF DEVELOPMENT AND PROSPERITY.

When the voters of Haines decided by an overwhelming majority at the special election last week to incOrpor- ate. a new era of development and prosperity dawned for Haines and her people.
 Haines is now a municipality, and subject to intelligent and systemized direction. No longer will it be nee essary for few public spirited men to get out and spend their time and money in obtaining needed improve msnts. The town council will direct what and how improvements shall be made and the council will have $500 of federal license monies with which to carry on the expenses of tn town for the first year.
 This is sum amply sufficient to conduct the regular expenses of Haiues and at the same time make many needed improvements about the municipality. This money will be spent In Haines and for Haines. For merly this money was taken out Of Halnes, never to return. Haines will be greatly the gainer in this one re- spect alone.
 Haines will now be recognized as one of the sister.hood of Alaskan towns. No such recognition would have been accorded Haines as long as it remained un-incOrporated.
 Under incorporation whatever ex- penses are incurred for street improy ments. sidewalks, street lights, water protection and other similar works, will be shared eQuitably by the peo- pie. in case the Fedreal license funds are not sufficient to carry on the work. Previously few citizens of Haines have carried on their shoul- ders the bulk of this burden.
 It is extremely unlikely, however, that the residents of Haines will be called upon to pay taxes. The fed eral license money funds are at pre- sent sufficient to defray the expenses of all needed improvements and the funds will increase just as the town Under wise and economical admins tratioa of affairs no taxes need be levied in Haines. as is the case in several other Alaskan towns.
 The people of Haines are to be con graduated upon their choice of cOuu- cilmen. The Pioneer Press knows ev. cry man on the new council and be- Heyes that each one will do his ut most towards the development and upbuilding of Haines. There are just as good men who failed of cleo ton, but they, too, will take off their coats and put their shoulders to the wheel.
 The election is over and whatever differences it caused should be for gotten. The majority rules and the minority should bow to their will and show themselves good losers by join ing hands and working for the wei fare Of the town.
 Let the year 1910 be prolific of tangible results Tor Haines and her people in prosperity and growth Haines Pioneer Press.

REASONS FOR FALL FLOWING.

Improved methods in farming oper-
atoms, as we'll as in other pursuits,
are the order OF the day, because they
bring better results. In the matter OF
blowing the land, for instance, q
writer in the Irrigator advises that it
be done in the fall, and gives these
reasons in support Of his recommen.
d%ations:
The fact that air is needed in the
soil to assist in the proper develop.
ment OF plant life is not fully UNDER
stood by the average man, who takes
it for granted that a rich quality OF
soil ia all that is required to secure q
vigorous growth of crops.
A proper circulation of air in the
coil ts just a. important as any other
factor Of plant growth. Nearly halt
OF the volume of ordinary soils ia oc.
cupted by air spaces. The air spaces
get between the soil particles just as
they do In . pile of larger stones. II
the layer of water on the surface Of
the soil grains becomes so thick "a to
stop the air passages here and there

We are not accustomed to think Of
plants - organisms that breathe, bu,
we know that they do breathe, when
we stop to think about it., and whes
we come to consider them in that ligh
we begin to realize the Importance o
good air supply.
Plants have no special breathin,
organs. the oxygen required in thei
breathing finding entrance all owe
the surface of the plant. Plant root
must therefore be supplied with air
and hence the soil must be porou
i. enough to permit Of free circulation O

proper tillage will accomplish this re

COUNT DE LESsEpS.
21 of this year. He was the second
aviator to perform that feat after Nj.
Louis Bleriot. The count was born
July "a, 1888, at Pau, now n Of the
chief French flying fields. The aviator
is the tenth child Of Count Ferdinand
de Lesseps, famous as the engineer of
the Suez canal.
General Harrison Gray Otis, who is
so much in the public eye just now w.
ing to the blowing up of his newspa-
per plant at Los Angeles, is one Of
the most successful Pacific coast pub
fishers and has followed that profess
sion most Of his life. Before the civil
wal he was a ~journeyman printer
and was at one time foreman Of the
government printing office at Wash
ington.
General Otis Is a veteran of three
wars, having served throughout the re-
bellion and in the Spanish-American
war and the Filipino Instruction. He
was appointed brigadier general of
volunteers by President Mckinley and
commanded the brigade which consti-
tuted the principal force engaged in
the capture Of Caloocan on Feb. 10,
1899, and won fame in this and later
battles Of the campaign which closed
with the capture of Malolos, the Fill.

THE ELECTION OF SENATORS.

According to q recent Washington
dispatch, the proposition to elect
United States sen stors by direct vote
IL favored by both the sen from
Montana. Sen ator Dixon is out.
spoken in his endorsement of the
plan, while Senator Carter expresses
his intention to support the movement
under certain conditions.
An interesting discussion of the
proposed change in the method of
electing members of the sena ate ap.
pears in the Spokesman. Review which
says In part:
The written constitution provides
that an electoral college. chosen by
the people, shall elect the president;
but the unwritteu constitution makes
this electoral college q mere recorder
of the peoples choice for president.
The same sort of political evolution
is bringing about the direct election
OF federal senators by the people. The
national constitution directs that they
shall be chosen by the legislatures Of
the states. but the Inherent defects of
indirect election and the evils and
abuses engendered by it have led the
people of forty.four states to try to
replace indirect by direct election. In
other words, the unwritten constitution
is becoming substituted for the written
constitution in respect to the election
of senators.
There are many arguments in favor
OF %electing them directly. 1t would,
as Senator Owen of Oklahoma has
pointed out. bring the senator as close
Is the representative to the people,
and make the ate responsive to
their wish. 1t would, a. Senator
Bourne of Oregon, has shown, enable
the people to elect the man whom they
thought ittest for the senatorship,
even If his politics differed from those
OF the men whom they considered fittest
for the state legislature. 1t would, as
