Transplanting such vegetables as to-
matoes and cabbage is of value In
making the plants stocky and In de-
Veloping the root system. In trans
planting care should be taken not to
break too many roots. If the ground
IS mOistened before the plants are
taken up the dirt will cling to the
roots and few of them will be broken.
The garden trOwel is the best nipple
ment with which to take up plants for
transplanting. The same instrument
may be used to make the hole In
which the plants are to be placed. See
that the roots are spread out well and
not ali cOmpacted in one bunch

In a Scottish village n farm laborer
named Bill Brown lost his wife. While
on her deathbed she implored him
TO never mhrry again after she was
gone. Furthermore. should he do SO
she would scratch through the ground
and come back TO punish him. The
threat apparently had due effects for
some months. the widower rejecting
many tempting offers. After time
however. the village got to whispering
about Bill being seen walking with n
certain lass. Met one day by a rela-

was any truth IN the rumOr that was

In the affirmative.

Nature.

AS fond mother. when the day is DER.
Leads by the hand her little child TO
bed
Half willing. half reluctant to be led
And leave his broken playthings on tho
floor
Still gazing at them through the open
door.
Nor wholly treasured and comforted
BY promises of others in their stead.
Which. though more splendid. may not
please him more.
So nature deals with us and takes away
Our playthings one by one and by the
hand
Leads TO rest so gently that we go
Scarce knowing IL we wish to go or stay
Being too fun OF sleep to understand
How far the unknown transcends tho
what we know.

The New Orleans Times Demo-
Graf in recent editorial in regard
to the Constitutional Amendments
that will be submitted this fall to
the people of the State, lays great
stress on the fact that the exposi.
ition tax amendment should be
placed first on the list. We see no
reason why the people at large
should put this tax amendment
first on the list. Why not put the
good roads tax amendment first
ON the list? The people liz the
country are more vitality interest
ed in good roads than. the EXPOSE
ton to be held in New Orleans,
and we very much fear if the good
roads tax amendment is killed the
exposition tax amendment will
meet the same fate. We feel
that the Times-Democrat is little
optimistic about the exposition
tax amendment being carried.
The people in the country are
going to deliberate a long time
before casting their vote, for it.

The total value of the mineral pro-
duction of the territory since produc-
tive mining began, in 1880. exceeds
s147 ,000,0 900.
The known mineral wealth of in
land Alaska Is embraced in the two
copper bearing belts of Copper river,
lying 100 to 800 miles from tidewater;
the Boring river coal fields, % miles
from the coast of Controller bay and
100 miles from good harbor on
Prince William sound; the Matanuska
coal fields, $50 miles from an ice-free
port on the Pacific. and the Yukon
placers. from 400 to 600 miles by
feasible railways routes from the Pa
cific tidewater by high, snow-covered
ranges, broken, however, by several
river valleys.
The full development of the mineral
wealth of inland Alaska must await
Improvement in means of communica,

radical character.
Thanks to the Alaska road commits
sion, and in a lesser degree TO local
enterprise, much has been accom-

building Much. however, remains to
be done, for in this territory, en-
bracing nearly 100000 square miles.
there are only SAP miles of wagon
road, 397 of sled road, and 255 of trail.
The coastal service of ocean vessels
and the river transportation systems
OF tie Yukon and its tributaries are
being muah improved. In addition to
this, steamboats, have been placed
on Copper and Sushitna rivers. Local
transportation facilities have also
been greatly bothered by shor, Zines
