Will Light
The Building

In another column of the Appeal
will be found bids for wiring the
State Capitol Building and grounds
The move has been under considera-
ton for some months and the Board
has finally taken action. 1t is pro-
posed to furnish electric lights all
through the building as well as the
grounds and when completed will
add materially to the appearances OF
the big state building. Secretary OF
State Brodigan has been extremely
active in this line, as he has insisted
that the building was unsafe in its
present system and that more and
better service should be in vogue.

twelve years in this position and be-
lieves his official record is the best

cd in the Postal Banking. Since
that time he has acted as instructor
to many others in the state who have
taken up this important branch OF

appointment to the position he Is
visiting the business men of this
city. In practically every instance
he has received a letter Of recon-
mendation from them.
Mr.. Hofcr has been untiring in his
efforts to better the service. and
through his efforts many improve
ments have been made at the Federal
Building that otherwise would have
gone undone
As the appointment is in the hands
of Congressman Roberts the letters
are addressed to him and if strong
personal letters will do the business
Mr. Hofer will most certainly re-
reive the appointment. He Is busy
to-day gathering up his letters and
they will be forwarded to Congress
man Roberts without delay. MIR.
Hofer has some very flattering letters
relative to his official tenure from
the department that should carry
considerable weight in the selection
for the postma stership OF this city.

expect to receive some concrete block machinery by spring, and to do a con siderable business in the manufacture of concrete blocks for building pur- poses next summer. There is little question but that concrete blocks are the ideal material for building pur- poses in this climate. A way to keep water out of concrete building has been devised, and the saving in fuel, in single winter in a climate like this, will go long way toward mak- ing up the difference between the cost of lumber and the cost of concrete. The Treadwell sand, from which the Doug las blocks are made, is regarded by ex- perts as ideal material for concrete purposes.

COMMISSIONER FLoER RESIGNS

Who wants to be United States com missioner at Sitka?
 Sidney E. Flower, who for many years has occupied this position at Sit ka, has resigned, and Judge Lyons is looking about for his successor.
 The courtl expects to find new com missioner at Sitka, and will leave for that place the last of this week, al most whoely for that purpose. There IS no great money in the job, and prob ably everybody will not speak at once.
 "The problem of governing Alaska IS more difficult than many people think, Y said court official "There should be a commissioner not only at Sitka, but at Tenakee, oonah, Port land on the canal and at Metlakahtla, but there is now none at any of these places. The fees are of no consider able importance, and few people want the job. ''
 Last fall an etfort was made to se- cure authority from Washington to put the United States commissioners on salary of $l50 month, but it fell thorugh. In the cities of the United States the tendency is all to put the Justices of the peace on salary, and thns put them beyond the possibility of being influenced by the fees in case, and undoubtedly, the government should provide for salaried commission CTS in Alaska

TELLS OF COMING COUNTRY

Captain Albert Rhodes, prospector, pathfinder, sailor and philosopher, dropped into Iditarod the other day from the Kuskoquim, by way of Ia kotna Years ago Rhodes was miner on one of Nome $ famous "beach lines,'' and fortune smiled upon him. Then he started out to make new dis coveries. He has stampeded from Daw son to Point Barrow, where he hunted the white bear and the whale instead of gold, ever smiling, always cheer ful.
 ''But don't stampede any more, ' he said. .sThat is, I don't follow the crowd any more I was within few miles of Iditarod two years ago. I heard they had made a strike here, but I did not come. I want to find a new district for myself r And Capt Rhodes says that the next great min ing camp of Alaska will be located at the headwaters of the Swift and Stony rivers, tributaries Of the kuskoquim, which head up in the Alaska range of mountains
 "It is the best mineralized country that I have ever seen,0 he said. "I have found many varieties of minerals in that section, some of whose names I do not yet know. One kind of mineral I found with the aid of camp fire that I had built alongside ledge of rocks The heat from the fire melted the rock, and the metal dropped down like molten lead. No, it was not lead, nor silver, or copper I don't know what it is, but I'm going to find out. r
 Captain Rhodes says the country drained by the Swift and Stony rivers is difficult to get into. Both rivers are swift and filled with boulders, making navigation almost impossible. He will return to that section and continue specting.-Iditarod Nugget

JURY soAKs PorovICH $500

A jury in Commissioner Winn $ court last Friday decided that Dan Pop ovich had nswiped' Mary Zuboko- vich $ furniture, and gave her a judg unent of $500 The case has been ap pealed.
 As told exclusively in the Sourdough Mary Zubokovich brought suit couple of weeks ago against Popovich, alleg ing that when he accompanied Marshal Schaffer to interpret a "Notice to quit which the marshall served upon sition as interpreter to "glom' her household goods.
 In the case tried last week, the woman testified that Dan and the mar shal had come to her house where she was keeping borders, that the marshal had read paper to her, and that Dan then told her that it was an order of fourt for her to get out of the house and to leave the furniture, which man would come after. Mary testif- ed that she had a wholesome respect for the courts of this foreign land, and shat she immediately got up, leaving everything in the house, and left. Vid- ak Sogorra testified that he was one of the boarders, and that he was there at the time, and that Dan made the very remarks which the woman accus ed him of doing. Subsequently it was shown that one Mike Mush came and took the property, and Mike Mush tes tifed that it was true, and that he had sold it for $250. Mush, however, said that he was not sent by Dan at all, but by Louie Selig, and that he turned the money over to Louie, and not to Dan. 1t was testified that Louie Selig had 6nanced the boarding house, and that there was a balance coming to him, but was less than $250, the selling pricG by 9 hundred dollars or more.
 Dan Popovich testified that he had merely interpreted the paper for the marshal, and that he knew no more about 1t. He denied that he had told the woman to leave her furniture. Mar shal schaffer was out of town on prospecting trip, but, as the attorneys for the plaintiff contended, he could mot testify that he knew what Popo- vich had said, as the marshal is not a Slavonian.

little thought of your own that you

was walking home the other day
from a gathering. at which one girl
kept us all amused and interested by
the quaint and funny things she had
said, and the original schemes she had
suggested.
Ny companion was quiet girl. very
conventional and not at all original
or interesting.
We were speaking of the after
Moons fun. DO you know" she
started me by breaking out, DO you
know, lots of those funny things that
I never exactly dared to say them
And one thing she suggested, I've
been on the point of suggesting my
self a dozen times, but it seemed so
everybody was delighted with it when
she did,
wonder if more of the difference
than we realize between interesting,
original folks and commonplace, I'M
interesting people isn't that the for
mer express themselves freely, and
the latter don't dare to.
The natural explanation is that the
comm onplace folks have nothing to
express, but I. wonder If it may not
be diffidence, rather than emptiness,
that makes them what they are.
OF course, there must be much diff
ference in mind between the genius
and the commonplace person, but I
doubt If it is as great as we think it,
Popular people, bright people, cen
ter-of- the-stage people, are those who
say and do the unexpected and inter
esting things they happen to think Of
And the great folks of the world,
the leaders, have been those who ex-
pressed themselves instead of trying
to do just what everyone else did.
Let yourself out.
Do the unexpected and original
things you think of.
Speak out the quaint little ideas
that come to you. juss as they come to
the bright people you admire SO
much.
Be yourself. and cease foolishly try
ing to reshape the individual pattern
in which God cut you, to the conven-
tional pattern of commonpIaceness.
If you do, I'm sure other people will
find you more interesting and I really
think you'll find yourself so.
