THE ALASKA WEEKLY CAPITAL

For some six weeks there has been published in Juneau weekly paper known as the Alaska Weekly Capital. It's publishers are Messrs: Callahan and Moore, both employees of the Jun eau Record.
 The Alaska Capital. unheralded, enters the list of newspaperdOm, for Alaska. its industries, it's people and its interests, was announced in the new papers salutatory, which, con tinulng, stated, The Capital will en- deavOr to represent Alaska as a whole and to give that news of the district which will be of interest to Che AlaskaR-those interested in Al aska-whatever they may be....."
 Owing to the origin of the Capital we had some doubts as 70 the sin cerity of it's good intentions. beliey- ing at the time that it would prove merely a side show to the Juneau Re cord. For that purpose we refrained rom commenting upon The Capital until it's intentions were disclosed by actions rather than empty declama- tions.
 It was as we suspected. The Alas ka Capital is simply a mirror of The Juneau Record. Three-fifths of the material appearing in it is taken without change from the Record and no political articles are reprinted from other papers unless they are apti,home rule in nature. This pol. icy consequently affords the Capital a small field for choice and its edi tOrials are reproduced almost entirely from that anti-home rule triune, The Juneau Record. The COrdOva Alaskan and The wrangeu Sentinel
 It is hardly necessary to point out that weekly paper conducted on such policy is hardly representa- tive of Alaska. In fact 1t purposely reflects a hOpelessly small minority of public opinion.
 We c, incide with the new weekly in exactly two things, We think Its name The "Capital particularly ex- pressiye of it's cause of being, and further we agree that it represents Alaska's Interests"

THE VILLAGE SPORTS.

They're playing checkers all the day, an endless. earnest game; the world might jump the track and they'd keep playing just the same; they're playing when the day is young they play when night is due; they move their men from square to square, and say. "Irs up to yOu!" They heed not what is doing in the busy world around; they're careless Of the hunters tale of charger or of hound; the youth may Haunt his rifle and the child may whirl his top the Village Sports are busy down la Yeomans old junk shop! They care not where the pennant goes when base bah days are done. they couldn't tell you if you asked, what teams have lost and won; the foot bah season Is a blank to able minds like theirs; they couldn't tell the half backs from brace of polar bears: they're needless of the motor cars that race for loving cups, they do not mind the coursing meets, the  rabbits or the pups; let airships flut- ter overhead. or down in ruins drop the village Sports are busy up at George Goods Gospel shop!

Wants The World

plains itself, and yet while it was
not written for publication, we
will excuse ourselves like a wom-

ret oy saying, its too good to

OBERLIN, Kans, May %. 1910
H. S. GIvLER, Wa Keeney, KanS.
DEAR SIR:-I have heard of
people wanting the whole earth
and the moon for a potatoe
patch Mrs. Scott has said
nothing about the moon but she
insists she wants the "World".
She instructs me to send you a
dollar that somebody was kind
enough to give her, and and you
will send as much of the World
as you can for the amount.
Please send it on the inStallment
plan, weekly chunks.
Oberlin has been down in the
valley for the last four years. 1t
has been raining some this
spring and it may be possible
though the town remains in the
Sappa Valley it may make a
noise that will get out into the
hills But at present if any of
the people that can not rent
houses in Wa-Keeney will come
over we can rent them a house.
But we will not promise to pay
the rent, nor furnish them a job,
but the people of this Burg are,
all Kansans all right and will be
right on the ground when the
goods arrive.
This is not written for publ
cation but as an evidence of
good faith.
Send the World for period of
50 weeks and oblige.
Yours Truly
w. E. SCOTT.

Dwight Funk of Funk's Grove,

J. Dwight Funk of Funks Grove,
Mclean county, is in very satisfac-
tory live stock partnership with one
of his tenants. Some good farmers
don't know anything about live
stock, and there are few tenants with
whom Mr.. Funk would make such a
deal, but this tenant, w. H. Ross, is
a rare man in practical knowledge of
live stock. The results last year
were as follows:
Mr.. Funk provided 80 brood sows,
20 Chester Whites, and 10 Poland
Chinas, and the boars. The agree
ment is that the tenant must keep up
the original stock out of the increase.
and care for the hogs. They are fed
from the undivided corn, that is, each
provides half of the feed, and any
other expense is shared equally, and
all returns from hogs sold are also
divided equally. But the tenant pays
50 per acre for the pasture where
these hogs run with other stock; and
at certain times of the year the hogs
have the use of the tenants stalk
fields and stubble fields.
S0II Expense Out of 1881 Income
MIR Funk figures his expense and
returns as follows: The 80 sows at
$40 would be worth $500 and six per
cent interest on this would be $36.
One hundred and seventy-four pigs
were produced, showing on average
Of nearly six to the litter. The pigs
were fed 1,S40 bushels of corn, one
half of which would be 290 bushels;
and this at 60 cents would make
1852. There were other expenses of
s46 of which Mr. Funk's share was
