The report of tho secretary of ngri-
culture invites attention to the stupen-
dous value OF the agricultural products
or this country. amounting in all to
sS,92G, 000.0 900 for this year, This amount
is larger than that Of 1909 by $500, 0Oo,-
600. The existence of such q crop In
dlcntes Il good prospect for business
throughout the country.
An Interesting review OF the results
OF an examination made by the depart
ment into statistics and prices. shows
that on the average since 1891. farm
products have increased in value 70
IL per cent. an Indication that present
farmer buys for use have increased but

conditions are favorable to the farming
community.

the recommendation made In my last
message on the subject NssI am con-
WINGED that the migratory character OF
the population, it's unequal distribution
and Its smallness of number, which the
rev census shows to be about 10000, in
relation to tho enormous cxpnnse OF the
territory. make 1t altogethcr lmprac-
ticable to give to those people who are
in Alaska today and may not be there
a year hence, the power to elect Il
legislature to govern an immense ter
ritory to which they have a relation
so little permanent. II Isl far better
that It be committed to a commission
to be appointed by the executive. with.
limited legislative powers sufficiently
broad to meet the local needs, than to
continue the present insufficient gov
eminent with few remedial powers. or
to make a popular government where
there Is not proper founda ton upon
which to rest 1t.
A COMMISSION.
The suggestion that the appointment
Ola commission will lead to the con-
troll OF the government by corporate or
selfish and exploiting interests las not
the slightest foundation in fact Such
q government worked well in the Phil
ipnines and would work well in Alas
ka, and those who are really Interested
in the proper development of that ter
ritory for the benefit OF the people who
live iii it and the benefit of the people
OF the United States who own 1t,
should support the institution of such u

to do so. A great many millions of dol
lars have already been expended iii the
construction of at least two railroads.
and if laws be passed providing for the
proper development of the resources OF

/ DelightirI EucAre.

The Euchre Club was enterta ned on
Tuesday night by the batct elor members
at the rooms of the Tensas Club, which
were richly decorated in honor of the oc-
casion, violet Icing the color scheme
throughout, and which lovely flower was
in mot profuse abundance, filling the
air with its delightful odor.
Mrs. J. T. Watson presided over the
pun IN bowl with her usual ease and grace
and dispensed the delicious beverage to
all present.
Beautiful hand-painted tally cards, on
which were inscribed verses appropriate
to the occasion, were distributed among
the guests. At eight O'Clock the bell at
the Kings table was sounded and all
were seated at nine tables and enjoyed
most delightful game of euchre.
The lady's first prize, gold hat pin,
was cut for by Mrs. B. F. Young and
Miss Eliza Whitney and awarded to Miss
Whitney. Mrs. G. H. Clinton won the
lady's consolation prize, a handsome
polka picture.
The gentleman's first prize, desk set,
was awarded Mr.. A. E. Green, and the
consolation, also polka picture, fell to
Mr.. Louis Buckner, Jr.
The guests were then ushered into the
dining room, where, on tables artistical
ly decorated with violets, delicious re-
freshments were served.
In graceful acknowledgment OF most
delightful affair many elegant compli-
ments were paid the hosts by the assem-
blage on the very clever arran; ement and
artistic design shown throughout the oc-
casion.
An incident of the evening the least bit
suggestive of merriment was some ex-
pressions Of regret by not few of the
ladies at the seeming removal OF wall dec
orations in the form of pictures perhaps
more or less in keeping with club life,
as evidenced by the remaining wire and
holders.
Louis Smiths String Band discoursed
sweet music throughout the evening.

This popular theatre opened its first
show last night on it's new policy OF
opening new programs Monday and
Thursday instead of Sunday and
Thursday, and if last nights bill is a
sample of the shows that will be pre-
scented on this new policy, its popu-
larity with theatre goers is assured
beyond a shadow of a doubt. Every
act is fine, and every performer a
star in their respective lines, and
every number was enchored to the
echo last night by the large audience
in attendance.
The Musical Alvinos in "A Vaud-
eyille Review" are unquestionably the
best in their line that has ever been
presented here Their music is ex.
celent and their comedy refined and
mirth provoking in the extreme. j..
C. Payne, Americas favorite negro
double voice concert singer and en-
tertainer, possesses a baritone voice
of rich and mellow quality and very
rare soprano voice for man, which
he handles in a most artistic manner.
He was very heartily received last
night.
Cozano, European equilibust and
gymnast does an exceptionally good
act in the novelty line, and made a
hit last night with his marvellous
feats Of strength and hand balancing.
The picture program is an excel.
ent one and all in all this bill, through.
out. is one of the rare quality and
deserves most liberal patronage.

"Grey" and "Gray."

What is the difference, if any. be-
tween grey" and gray" aside from
the matter Of spelling:
The editor of the Oxford Dictionary
some years ago made extended inquiry
Is to usage and found that opinions in
London varied Replies to his ques-
lions showed that in Great Britain the
form grey is the more frequent in use.
despite the authority Of Dr.. Johnson
and later photographers. who give the
preference to gray. Many correspond
ents said that they used the two forms
with a difference Of meaning or appli-
cation. the distinction most generally
recognized being that grey denotes a
more delicate or lighter tint than gray.
Others considered the difference to be
that gray is a warmer color or that it
has a mixture Of red or brown. An
other group held that grey has more OF
sentiment. gray more Of color. which
may mean that grey is a suggestion
rather than a positive outline.-New
