May Gi, l0AA'
 To the Mayors and newspapers of all towns throughout Alaska Wednesday, June fourteenth, nineteen hundred and eleven, will be the one hundred and thirty-fourth birthday of "OLd Glory," known as Flag Day. There is no day in the year more appropriate for patriotic teach ing. The flag as an object les son has no rival. It is not only a thing of beauty, but every item of its construction is significant. The .ory of its evolution, its birth IS the emblem of a new nation, it's long service without defeat or dishonor, should be ia miliar to every child of our schools. Our flag stands for honor, purity and obedience to law.
 I heartily recommend that Flag Day be appropriately ob- served throughout Alaska by all citizens, schools and societies. Let the flag appear everywhere, over church, school-house, fac tory. dwellings, public and pri- vate buildings, and at the mast head, showing reverence for all it represents.
 WM. L. DISTIN,
 Acting Governor.

The orator held the close at tention of the audience, and as he finished his discourse was ap- plauded most heartily.
 The church was beautifully decorated with flags and ever green. The two large flags form ing a canopy over the roStrm produced an especially pretty ef- feet and added to the impressive ness of the services. The deco rations were arranged by Messrs. E. w. Merrill and H. B. Parks.

 Again the parade formed and proceeded to the government wharf where flowers were strewn on the water in memory of those who died in the service of our nation and were buried at sea. This exercise closed the memo rial services of the day.

 And, on the contrary. the finest dressed man in the world unless he has something substantial back of the fine clothes will be without influence. One must cultivate a taste for the clean and the Chaste. the good and the true; one must be artist enough to want to appear right one must have that certain quality called magnetism. easy of cultivation if one is willing to exert himself little. and one must choose his attitude towards the world as the connoisseur chooses a vase for what it will represent to the world and for it's intrinsic value. if he is to have influence.
 And it is influence that most of us dig for. It is influence we desire when be begin the work of hoardnE money. It is influence that we are after when we strive for the artistic prize. Influence, the priceless gift for which men have bartered everything they possessed.
 Most of us start out with the idea of accommodating money and position. but both are synonyms of influence After a man has secured certain fi- nancial ar social standing he forgets about the money and position and thinks only of the influence he com mands. If he loses his fortune he grieves more for the lost influence than he does for the vanquished money.
 And SD influence in any direction is the real value of ourselves and to make these services of the greatest importance we must first treat our selves riGht-treat ourselves as if we were human beings with God given in spirations, with God given talents to be used for the betterment of mankind and the improvement of the race

 For Indoor Gardening.
 For the women who love plants there is nothing so pleasant as in door gardening This form of gar dening demands system. in the car ing of plants and the proper use of implements. Experts in the care of house plants claim that 1t is greatly through lack of system that the plants fail to grow and finally die.
 Pruning d plant can be done with pair of ordinary embroidery scissors or d carving knife. Then there should be a stout pair of scissors. a spray with several nozzles, some pointed sticks to keep the soil in d loose con dition. a thermometer to tell correct temperature, a rubber sheet to slip under the plants when watering. earthenware pots in which the smaller pots may he placed. a large box of plant food. good insCcticide, a cake of whale oil soap. and different sized stakes for tying up the weaker plants.
 These articles should all he kept on shelf where they can be reached without trouble. In some cases where it is necessary to transplant seedlings it is wise to have a closet or small room for the operations. Convenience is one of the main things to consider in home gardening, and everything should be in it's proper place.

 The fault with most of us is that we are so busy in trying to get on in the world that we submerge everything else. Some of us even bury our af- feCtions and our interest in everything except what we may for the time be trying to accomplish. Some day we wake up to find that we have missed all the good things of life while we have accumulated many of the un- desirable ones.
 Some persons who are trying tO secure d place in the world express d petty contempt for clothes. and yet there is nothing that helps one so in his career as proper and neat at tire. Neatness of appearance is a card of introduction almost anywhere and it goes a long ways toward winning necessary friendships.

Oregon Curiosity

A millionaire soap manufacturer of
 Philadelphia whose fad is socialism has announced his intention to spend some time in oregon in personally boosting the socialist game This millionaire is hard to please It
 would seem that he should be fairly we'll satisfied with the results al ready shown by U'Ren and his other
 paid agents in that state, who have succeeded in making the state gov ernment decided experiment in socialism.
 U'Ren. it is claimed by the Oregon papers. draws some s16.0O0 a year from this socialist soap manufac- turer for use where it will do the most good" for the socialist propa- ganda. and citizens of Oregon are beginning to write letters of inquiry to the press to ascertain whether the corrupt practices act can be invoked to ascertain what U'Ren and the other paid agents of the soap manufacturer do with the money.
 We had some evidence of the fact that the soap manufacturer is liberal with his coin. in the late constitu tional campaign in this territory. One of his saIaried men. White, by name. held forth on the streets of Phoenix and at other points in the territory. in praise of the 'isms' to which the democratic party had been committed by it's cowardly leaders in league with the socialists. White was cheered to the echo when he. with no knowledge of Arizona citi- zenship. argued that the average Arizona citizen is so corrupt that we could not dare elect men to office in a state government unless we had the protection of the recall.
 But there is a certain amount of temerity in those citizens of oregon who are so bold as to question whether U'Ren and the others have made honest use of the soap manu- lecturers money. They ought to know that when man wraps tfe cloak of reform" about him. that is aII- sufficient. It is the foolish peo- pie who question his motives that are open to suspicion. Punishment is the mildest punishment that should be meted out to the fellow that fails to worship the "reformer".

NOTES AND NOVELTIES.
A Mirror Which Sticks Fast to the
 Wall.

good birthday present for the man who travels is one of the suc- ton mirrors which adhere to any flat surface. Many a man misses his swinging shaving mirror sorely while travelling. and this handy mirror. which may be clapped to the wall of dressing room or to the paneling in q sleeper berth. or near the window in a badly lighted hotel bedroom. will be d source of comfort on many oc- casions. These mirrors may also be carried in the bag with the bathing suit and attached to the wall of the mirrorless bathhouse. The mirrors are of French bevel glass. and there is rubber attachment at the back which adheres tightly to any flat surface. and which may readily be removed when desired
 A Dainty Dresser Cover.
 Have you ever tried making bu- reau covers for the country house bedrooms out of lowered cretonne yelled with ordinary cotton net? The effect of the colored flowers through the net is charmingly soft and ar tistic. the blossoms and green leaves having d blurred effect like the pat terms in woven Dresden ribbon Gre tonne with rather large. definite flow CT designs, should be selected and the pink shades are the prettiest-as in most bedroom furnishings. The cover should be large enough to lie flat on. the dresser top and cretonne and net may be joined at the edges under the beading threaded with ribbon. and a border of narrow cluny lace
 Making Lingerie to Order.
 The woman who can do dainty em- broidery and fine needlework has a pleasant means of livelihood at her command. This is the making of lin gerie to order, with the perfect fit and hand workmanship of each garment a speciality. clever little woman who had always taken pleasure in making her own pretty lingerie conceived the idea of adding to her pin money by fashioning equally dainty garments for her friends Now she has so many or ders that she keeps two other women busy helping with the hand needle work, doing the embroidery of the garments and the fitting herself It is almost impossible to obtain lingerie that fits among the French hand made garments, yet once a woman's measurement has been taken and a set of garments fitted to her it is easy to make any quantity afterward on the same lines-and orders are sure to pour in on her who will do pretty work

Finances and Markets


New York, Jan. 23.-Two well de fined agreements of d diverse charac- ter gave the market a nervous and un- settled tone. Following a general ad- vance in London. the local market opened strong and buoyant, but before midday the position was reversed. The selling movement met with light resistance until the morning gains were marked off. Buying at bottom prices steadied the market somewhat and during the remainder of the day trading was dull at prices slightly above the lowest.
 Steel was made the pivot for bull op- erations in the morning on a revival of reports of trade improvement. especial Iy in connection with the advance in the price of wire products.
 Later. Steel was used effectively as a center of operations in the bear movement when word came from Washington that a resolution contem- plating an inquiry into the Steel Cor porations affairs was receiving con- sideration in the house Word that no action had been taken on the reso- lution helped to steady prices in late trading December reports of Lehigh Valley and Pittsburg. Cincinnati, Chi cago & St. Louis railroads, which showed further substantial decreases in net earnings, exercised depressing influence. while reports of the impend ing decision in the Union Pacific Southern Pacific merger case was used to sell those shares.
 Bonds were steady: sales. s3.316.000. United States 3s advanced h per cent on call

CHECKS WER e
FOR POSTERS

Latest screed of the Seymour
press is an endeavor to connect
Fawcett with an election official
at the preliminary.
M. w. Coyle. the man mention
ed. said this morning:
"Of all the tommy rot I ever
heard this is the worst. / dis
tributed advertising matter, pos
ters and such for Fawcett and he
paid me just as Seymour pays the
men who do such work for him. -
Coyle had not been appointed to
work in the ballot booths, being
called in by other officials in the
first precinct of the Fourth ward
by election judges to fill the place
of a man who did not appear for
work at the last minute.
The Seymour people are makins
much noise about violations of the
law in distributing advertising
matter. The streets have been
flooded with Seymour literature
to such an extent that any charges
of law violation would probably
hit them heavier than the Faw-
cett side.
Coyle is Cooper by trade and
worked for local company for
six years.

The grounds were that because

"Fawcett was then put in as
mayor. I can say that the old
timers never for a moment put
the blame on Fawcett. Why
should he have wanted a recount
after he had officially been elect
