 Seattle, May 6.-Although the proposed Central Selling Agency for Northwest fruits will not undertake to become an active force in tho handling of any part of this years crop, the movement will not be per mitted to lapse. Because several of the leading districts did not endorse it, an effort has been made to have it appear that the promoters had lost heart. It is pointed out that all at tempts to establish cooperation among the tillers of the soil result

THE TRAIL OF 'es.

In the days when Alaska was young CT than now, There's no doubt that its men were some wild. And the things that they did and the stories they told Were not such as you'd tell to a child: And there's scarcely a man who has come to his prime, And his place in the world has been set, Who has not a chapter or two in his life
 He would very much rather for get. So the way of the world when. you travel out West, And to talk to a stranger as host. Is to carefully leave out the past of your guest, Lest you open the door to his ghost. So why should we write of the orgies that howled; Cover pages with murder and lust. Crude tales of life that was morally The abasement of all that was Better lock up the skeleton fast in it's cell,
 Ere 1t walk in the glare of the light. With fingers outstretched to the things of the past You had thought buried deep out

 Seattle, May 23.-While congratu- lating itself over the payment of the bonded indebtedness against the gen. eral fund of the state. it is we'll for Washington to bear in mind the sources from which the money came with which to pay this debt and to give credit where it is due. The re- port of Insurance Commissioner Schively, just off the press, shows the insurance department receipts for the past eleven years, beginning with the year 1900 and ending with the year 1910, having amounted in the aggregate to SLABS, ,502.80. The to- tai appropriations made by the leg islature covering these same years for the purpose of paying all salaries and travelling and other expenses of the department have amounted to the total sum of $54,SS2, leaving a net surplus to the state over all expenses ir the amount of $1,403, ,620.S0. The total remitted to the state treasurer for the first four months of the pres ent year amounts to 9,02S0S. The total receipts for 1910 amount ed to $2S4,479.93.

of sight. If the body and brain have been steeped to the full. In the slush and the swill of the mire,
 from pen Is it something your friends should admire? Supposing you did SOW wild oats in the past. But today may be more of a saint, Would you wish that your children should read all the tale, To besmirch their young minds with it's taint? Do you think it would add to your comfort in life If your children should ask you some day If you lived such a life in the wilds of the north, If you did all the things that they say? Let us bury our dead, let us bury them deep Each corpse with its poisonous breath So that no one may plough them out of their sleep, To breed pestilence, sickness and death. For the sake of all honor and virtue and pride, Who would wish to hark back to the tolls Of life that was brutal and prim- eval and grim To be crushed in its pythonic coils? The world is not helped by such stories of sin; It is looking for smiles, not for scowls; It, is looking for beauty, not depths of despair; The world has no use for it's ghouls!

Washington, D. G., May 25.-The claim is stoutly made by the Demo cratic leaders in the House that the free wool idea has been defeated and that the Democratic caucus. when it shall be called, will be found vot- ing for revenue duty on wool Just what the amount of duty will be, whether at and below five cents 8 pound, specific, according to the grade of wool, or whether an adval- prem duty of the same equivalent shall be decided upon, remains for final adjustment. But it is claimed that as result of letter received
 by Speaker Champ Clark from Will liam J. Bryan, the Bryan adherents
 in the House are urged to stand for a
 duty on wool rather than the old
 faith of the party in favor of free
 wool.
 As the Ways and Means Commit
 tee now stands the retention by a
 majority of revenue of five cents per pound is the plan favored by a majority of the committee. Speaker Clark and Chairman Underwood want this rate of duty fixed and as soon as they feel certain they have ma
 iority of their party with them a caucus will be called.
 MT. Bryan says in his letter that he personally is in favor of free wool, but that if it appears that placing wool on the free list would cause too great loss of revenue, he is in favor of cutting the rate about 50 per cent. He also expresses himself as believ- ing that a sliding scale of reduced duties should be provided so that within a few years wool would go upon the free list, in the meantime provision having been made for the loss of revenue such action would en- toll. &
 MT. Bryan is willing to have re- tained upon all raw materials a rev. enue duty, except iron ore, lumber and coal. These things he thinks should be placed upon the free list at once and kept there. Mir. Bryan Speaker Clark to make known his views to the Bryan fol- lowers in Congress and use the let ter for the purpose of strengthening the speakers position.
 The wool interests, however, have no fear at this time, as it is sure that no revision of the wool schedule will be enacted by the present Congress, and if it should be, President Taft would veto it. Senator Shoot of Utah, wool growing state recently gave the wool raisers his assurance that nothing would be done to injure the industry, and as a member of the Finance Committee of the Sem ate he is in position to speak with authority.

LET US MINE
 OUR OWN COAL
AN ALAsKAN's ODE TO ALASKA.

sun,
 The land of virgin gold, Of natures forbidden treasure vault, The land of wealth untold; Where placid rivers peacefully glide Through fertile valleys green, Glistening beneath midnight sun, Near fortunes yet unseen; Onward ever, far beyond Where the restless pillows roll, Mingling at last in Arctic seas To pay old Oceans toll. Where the bull moose roams the
 woodland,
 That monarch wierd and grand. The undefeated warrior King of this wonderland, Who calls from the lake at sunrise To the COW in the marsh lands low, And drinks his fill at twilight, Where the water lilies grow, And makes his bed meath the birch's
 shade,
 And rests with the suns last ray, And stirs with the first streak of
 dawn
 To welcome another day. That magic land of the polar seas, Of the seal and the great ice foe, Where by night old Boreas brightens
 the gloom.
 Where by day the sun-dogs glow Where the numbering walrus and pO-
 lar bear
 In mortal combat meet; Where the Eskimo and his reindeer, The glad spring sunshine greet; Where the wild goose journeys from
 southern climes, And ends its northern ffpht And broods it's young by the Yukon's
 brink
 Through the days which know no
 night. Alaska, so cursed by delegate, Corrupt in Congress- hall, By Eastern coal baron bought with
 gold.
 And needs his beck and call:- When wilt thou merge from the
 darkness, When wilt thou come to thine own? Pleading, vainly pleading, To parent with heart of stone; Cursed by mad conservation, Colossal national crime; The key to the storehouse is stolen, Thy treasures are locked for all
 time. I love thee, my poor stricken home
 land.
 My prayer Is ever for thee; God speed the day when justice be done,
 And Alaska forever be free, When the patient and curse-burdened
 miner, - Of the hardy and bold pioneers, May reap the reward which is right
 fully his,
 Yet denied him these many long
 years; When Amerlcan freedom shall tri-
 umph,
 And peace with prosperity bring, Then, not till then, shall I thank
 God in prayer, Alaska-my country-of thee, I'll
 sing.
 My country 'tis of thee. Sweet land of liberty,
 Of thee I sing;
 Long may our land be bright With freedoms holy light, Protect us in Thy might,
 Great God, our King.
