dreds in the United States, and for which
the choice of the pick" always fetches
the farmer a good price. Once or twice
within the past two years men have been
freakish enough to start cat farms for
the purpose of raising them for furs. A
fellow down near Augusta Ga, bought
up an army of black cats and announced
that he was going to supply furriers with
black cat furs. The felines proved a
nuisance and he was forced to abandon
his farm. There is a colony of tailIess
cats at BarneSat Light, on the upper
Jersey coast, and an attempt to establish
a farm proved futile. as the cats without
caudal appendages refused to be tanned
and would fight like tigers.
Down in Watkinsville, Ga, there is
and who has made a good living by rails
ing snakes for sale. He has a large num-
ber always on hand. and says he can
handle without fear any kind of snake,
including the rattler. Over these reptiles
he seems to have some mysterious, sooth-
ing power and but for the fact that some
of the townspeople object to his snake
farm, his life would be pleasant and his
occupation more profitable.
Not an uncommon sight in some of the
southern states is the gourd farm, and
il is an investment which pays well.
Recently Representative Adamson of

FREIGHTING OUTFITS TO
INTERIOR, VIA CHITINA
(From Cordova Daily Alaskan)

(From Cordova Daily Alaskan)
In yesterdays Daily Alaskan men
lion was made of the fact that D. Z.
Sargent, and the Great Northern De-
velopment Company had shipped
large outfits to their mines in the in
terror and upon investigation it was
learned that these supplies were
supplied from Cordova, having been
purchased from S. Blum & Co.
Mr.. Sargent represents Henry
Brotnober, one of the best known and
largest operators in Alaska, who
owns considerable property in the
Nabesna country, to which place the
outfit was consigned. This is 800
miles inland and was shipped to Chit
ina, being freighted from there to
the mines.
The Great Northern Development
Company has number of properties
in the Chitina valley and is this win
ter working a large force of men and
will shortly be factor in the pro-
duction of copper. Under the man
agement of E. F. Grey the lodges are
being opened up and ere long the
shipments of ore will commence.
Mr.. Grey has great faith in the
mineral resources of the interior,
which he believes will furnish ample
tonnage for double track railroad.
He is mining man of considerable
experience and his opinion carries
considerable weight. For years he
was manager of the famous copper
mine at Ely, Nevada, which is still
a producer and putting ore on the
market at the lowest possible price.
Being a shrewd business man, as
we'll as an expert miner, the sending
of his freight over the c. p. & N. w.
railroad is of considerable import to
Cordova. Heretofore it was freight
ed from Valdez and the fact that
such large operators as he and Mr.
Sargent purchased their supplies
here demonstrates that our merch-
ants are in position to compete with
the wholesale houses in the states.
Cordova, on account of It's geo.
graphical location and the further
fact that it is the terminus of Alas
ka's one substantially built and perm
anent railroad, is the natural sup
ply point for the entire interior
country and offers opportunities
which our business men should not
fail to take advantage of. 4
With the opening Of the coal fields
tributary to Cordova there will be a
revival of business here such as will
make every old-time Alaskan sit up
and take notice, 1t will mean the
immediate construction of a branch
line of the railroad from mile AZ
and the subsequent employment of
thousands of wage-earners at the
mines. This will open up another
and important market, which will be
supplied from nere.
All things considered, the outlook
for Cordova is exceptionally bright,
and while conditions throughout the
territory are at present not as en-
couraging as might pc hoped for. on
account of the asinine policy of the
government in Withholding our re-
sources from beng developed, the
silver lining to the cloud cannot be
much longer obscured. When the
long delayed legislation is enacted
there will be an impetus given to
business throughout the whole of
Alaska, and Cordova in particular,
will reap much of the benefit from
the good times that will come with
opening of the coal.

acquittal. This trial has attracted
much interest and when it became
known that the jury was ready to
report the court room was packed

children were fairly driven from the
blockaded corridors by deputy sher-

thence.
Seattle, Jan. 27.-Collector of Gus
toms Willis, of Juneau, reports that
s22,OO0,OO0 worth of merchandise
was shipped to Alaska last year. The

THE CITY MARSHAL.

The office of city marshal has al
Ways being a subject of much dis
cussion. The position is provided
for in the city charter, which. as has
been pointed out frequently was
adopted when Perth Amhoy was
little more than a village. The mar
shall has been continued as a public
officer, however, and at various
times has been given warrants to
serve and has taken prisoners over
to the county Jail. or insane persons
to the state hospital.
The office should be abolished en-
tirely and If this is not done the
place should, at least. be filled by~a
man who will carry out the orders
given him and serve the people In
an efficient manner. This cannot be
said OF the present incumbent. There
have been repeated instances where
he has neglected his duty entirely
and 1t is also declared that he has
even gone so far as to let prisoners
escape after they had been placed in
his hands to be taken to the county
jail. The latest charge is that he
has deliberately assisted in defeat
ing the hands OF Justice by warning
persons whom he knew Were wanted
by the county authorities. BY vir-
tue Of his position he can learn q
great many facts which an outsider
does not know. He Is Tina able to

sires, In q way that would ba most
detrimental to those Seeking to en-
forcs the law.
These are serious charges and they
seem to be substantiated by facts.
1t is known that the present recorder
has lost all confidence In him and
now turns his warrants over to the
chief of police. The marshal Is paid
SIS a month for his services, yet he
frequently fails to attend the recor-
der's court, of which he Is the court
officer.
There was an instance In Deem
Der which shows the arrogant man
ner in which the marshal conducts
himself. A woman who had made
a complaint reported to Mayor Boil
schweiler and Recorder Pickersgill
that the city marshal was neglecting
his duty by refusing to serve the
warrant. She asked the recorder to
Issue another warrant. He Is quoted
as saying that he would have to re-
fuse, On the ground that the city
marshal would not serve 1t and that
the issuing of further warrants
would result in nothing as long as
the city marshal held his present
view of the case. The woman then
appealed to Mayor Bollschweiler
who is declared to have told her he
could give 40 relief, as the matter
was one for the recorder and city
marshal to solve.
1t Is a pretty state of affairs when
the city marshal takes charge of the
courts business and serves warrants
or neglects to do so as he deems
best. 1t Is also surprising that city
officials will acknowledge that they
are powerless as long as the, city
marshal thinks that the case is mot
worthy of attention.
All this was bad enough when 1t
concerned only city affairs, but now
that the marshal Is accused Of in
terfering with the prosecutors work
it is possible that he has found some
officials who will not submit to his
tactics and will bring him to Justice.
1t Is to be hoped that the prosecutor
will press his case to the limit. 1t
has come to a pretty pass when so
insignificant an official as the city
marshal shall decide just what cases
shall be arrested or committed to
Jail and what cases shall not.
The present city administration is
lot bringing any credit upon itself by
such a man In Office. He is
'eceiving SIS a month in taxpayers
money and he Is giving practically
lothing in return. At present this
money is worse than wasted. The
lily should either put a man in the
'osition who will do his duty courte-
,usly, or else take steps to have the
ire thoroughly disguised with the
state OF affairs and 1t 1s
likely that they will tolerate
It much longer.

SERVICE.


AS was to be expected, the busi-
ness men of this city have gone ahead
with their moveme to have better
post Office facilities In Perth AM
boy. The discourteous mann err In
which they were treated by the post
master when they waited upon him
Thursday afternoon has only spurn-
ed them on to greater effort and
their is every reason to believe that
they will succeed in their endeavor.
Since the agitation has been start
ed a great many things have been
brought out In connection with the
post office service. When some of
these things are called to the atten-
ton of the postal authorities in
Washington we believe that Post
master Tice will find out that the
post Office Is more of the peoples
business than he thinks it is.
We do not believe the postmaster
has the right to decide what Is i'm
portant mail and what Is not. 1t is
not for him to say what is to be de-
livered at once and what Is to be
held over a day or two, or until it
is found convenient to deliver 1t.
For instance, at the hearing Thurs
day when the postmaster was speak
ing about saving time on a certain
route, one Of the business men ask
ed why the postmaster did not allow
the carriers to deliver all the mail
that they had instead of skipping a
number of places, which he knew
was the case az 1t occurred at his
own home. Postmaster Tice Is de-
clared to have stated that he gave
the carriers orders that they need
not deliver to those places where
they had only a post card or a paper.
This looks like a pretty high hand
ed piece of business. How does the
postmaster know but what that pos
tai card or that paper was the very
thing the people In that house had
been ~anxiously waiting for? Yet he
takes it upon himself to say that the
carrier need not deliver 1t at once,
SO that he may save time in complet-
ing his route. If this Is the way the
carriers cover the city it is very plain
that the force is entirely inadequate
md the four additional carriers
that are asked for by the business
men are none too many.
Another complaint is made by
ertain Hungarian citizens of this
ity, who are subscribers to papers
ublished Ia their own language in
'leveland, Ohio. Some times days.
nc, 1T Is decls-ad. even weeks. have
and these papers have not
cen delivered. Upon complaint at
be post office, 1t is stated, the post :
aaster has pointed to a pile of these
'apeps on the floor Of the post office,
that they We're thrown
lside until the force had time to dis
ribute them. He deemed them of
he least Importance and. therefore.
evidently saw no harI In holding
them over until 1t suited his own
time to give them to the persons to
they were addressed. But
these Hungarian citizens of Perth
have as much right to their
papers while they contain news that
is fresh as any other citizen, and, to
these Hungarians, these papers are,
perhaps, of more importance than a
great deal of other mail that Is re-
ceived.
If the post office force Is SO
inadequate that all the mail cannot
be distributed on the day it is re-
ceived it is high time some radical
changes were made. and the busi-
ness men should have the hearty
support of the entire community In
the work they are now doing.

How Acorns Work.

It is as good as a tonic to see the
acorns now. After winter spent in
luxurious ease, they are learning what
It 10 to earn their board and lodging.
They have thrown OF their caps, and.
with red faces and jackets split up
every seam, are intently engaged in
putting down taproots into the mellow
earth, digging away for dear life. AS
a result of this fit of industry the
woods will by and by be full of tiny
oak trees-most of them, sad to re-.
late, destined to be eaten up by grubs
and fungi and such small deer. An
oak just out of the cradle is a jaunty
little fellow, with fat, juicy stalk
and the two chunky halves of the
acorn, probably still in the shell, cling
ing to it like lunch in a bag, for it
is on the stock of starch stored in
the meal of the nut that the plantlet
subsists until it develops strength
enough to make living for itself.

PINWHEEL is QUITE UNIQUE
It Revoives Both Ways at Once and
Produces Most BewiIdering
Effect in CoIors.

Even the simple pinwheel has been
modernized by an Ohio man. He has
contrived an arrangement whereby the
wheels themselves and the group of
them revolve in opposite directions at
the same time, producing a bewilder-
ing effect Of motion and color. This
novel toy consists Of three pinwheels
mounted on three-armed head,
which is pivoted on rod. Each disk
of the pinwheels is made in two COL
ors. AS child runs with one of
these toys the disks Of the pinwheels
revolve as they do in the old-fashion-
ed kind and the two colors mingle in
a pleasing way. The puzzling part of
the affair, however, is the action Of
the structure on which the pinwheels
are mounted and which revolves in
the opposite direction. making q puz-
