The millado. earlh.born son of hcav.
en-, and his court n domieods dwell
IN forest scauo in the midst Of
the great city eli I6klo. The palace
world IS separated from ,the world Of
the people BY a triple moat of dead
water and a double wall of granite
crowned By twisted PIKE trees and
mottled with the moss Of ages. Except
upon stated occasions, the mikado is
as invisible and well nigh as inacces-
sible as the sim goddess amid the
hereditary treasures Of the lse shrine.

Election, for he has the eyes Of the
Mongol. the coloripg and facial struc-
ture OF the Malay
Unlike the reignlng houses Of Aus
tria. Rossia and Prussia, the house Of
Japan, which, thanks to the system Of
plural wives and the custom Of adop-
ton, has survived so many hundred
years in an apparently unbroken line,
has no family name and the given
names Of its members are not by any
means what they seem to be or to
mean upon a superficial examination.
The Mikado Mitsuhito is not the
''meek man" nor Is Prince Haru a
"verdant or "springlike prince"
These names have an occult meaning
which is probably hidden from ell ex-
cept the princes Of the blood and It
is in a close family council that they
are decided upon.
Behind the moss-grown battlements
and the stagnant meats, the Lord Of
Ten Thousand Years leads singular
ly sober and frugal life. It has been
suggested that he is still haunted by
the memory Of the threadbare court of
his father, the Emperor Komei, where
not seldom even food was lacking. The
support Of hawking and Of the old
swordmal1ers with their secret meth
DDS of tempering steel and his efforts
to collect the widely scattered books
relating to the Shinto cult are his only
extravagances.-Me metropolitan Maya

SMALL coURTEslEs ARE LOST
These Things That Make Life Really
Worth While Seem to Be
Forgotten.

Small courtesies of life seem to be
entirely lost in the rush for big things
This leaving of of the little things that
go to make living worth the while is a
well-known and recognized fact to
women who crave those gracious at
tentions SO easy in the giving when
the thought is right
Many men no longer consider it hec-
essary to rise when a lady enters the
room. If they prefer chair, it is
seldom done with the old-time alacrity,
and few trips on a city car will be
sufficient to convince the veriest skep-
tic Of the truth Of courtesy's deca-
dence.
Be it said in favor Of man, contin-
ually on the rack regarding these omis-
sions, that he is by no means the
greatest offender. Women who enter
tain will tell you of scores of invita-
tions to which they have never even
received the courtesy or an acknowl-
edgment RI. S. v. p" at the end of
card or note means nothing to wom-
en- too thoughtless or too ill-bred to
take FIVE minutes for reply. Such
treatment of social courtesy is an Of
tense garish enough to cause the Of
tenders name to be struck from the
social list of the hostess.
The small courtesies Of woman to
woman are fully as important as those
from man to woman, or woman to
man.

Biz Ruek shot il she AdIrondaeks.

d. P. Webster, Ernest Hendricks
and Clarence Lapp returned Monday
from the Adirondacks with the larg
est buck brought from the north in
many years. 1t was shot by Mr.. Lapp
and weighed $40 pounds, measured
nearly nine feet from tip Of nose to
tail and had most perfect head, each
antler having five uniform and nicely
formed prongs. The buck must have
been trodding the Adirondack for
years, as it was without teeth and the
Antlers indicated that he was we'll
along in years.
Mr.. Webster, who each year visits
the Adirondacks. when he first saw
the deer after 1t had been shot was
so startled at the size OF It that he
gasped and imagined 1t was a mule.

planners that nothing to compare with

PROGRESS: MADE
 IN AGRICULTURE
Experiment Stations Are Succeeding In Raising Good Potatoes
 In Alaska.

WASHINGTON, D. C., October 2O.- The annual report of the Alaska ex- pertinent stations for 1911, which has been made public by the department agriculture shows an unusual activity in agricultural pursuits in the ter ritory and successful crops and exper. iments. In spite of drawbacks and the skeptical feeling of officials of the stations, considerable progress was made in experiments in small fruits and applegrow'ing. This es- pecially is the case in Yellow Trans parent, Sylvan Sweet, Whitney. Fly slop, and in Crab varieties. Tests are now being made with the Peer less. Martha, Lowell. Tetofsky, Flu rcka, Briar Sweet, Transcendant. IIbcrnal, Red June, Iowa Beauty, Early Harvest. and a number of oth- CTS Successful tests were made with some varieties of cherries. cur rants and raspberries.
 The most encouraging tests made Were with vegetables, and ahe results obtained Were highly satisfactory. Of these crops the report says:
 The potato is by long odds tn" most important vegetable grown in Alaska. It constitutes a very impor- tant item in the peoples diet. Every body uses il; everybody knows how to grow it; and With proper care it can be grown all over the territory. But in spite of Ihis, several thousand tons are imported into Alaska every year. About 100000 tons are ship ped into the Fairbanks region alone each summer from the Puget Sound district It is maintained that out side" potatoes are drier and meal fer than those grown in Alaska, and they therefore, bring a higher price in the market than do native-grown potatoes. It is denied that Alaska grown potatoes are of inferior qual- ity. 1t Is true of some varieties when grown under poor culture in Wet soil, but it is not true of all va rieties. It is the function of the experiment stations to ascertain which varieties are best adapted to the country, and for this purpose a large number of varieties are grown on a very small scale. These are then compared to each other as to yield and quality, and the inferior ones are rejected, while the best ones are distributed among those who may wish to try them. The reason some varieties are undrsireablc is due to the fact that the tubers do not fully mature The starch grains are not normally developed in imma ture potatoes, and the tubcr becomes soft and "sOggy" when cooked.

TO THE VOTERS.

The voters of Kallala feel that their section, by reason of the vast latent resources, and it's future prominence in the InininS of this section, should have q
 voice in the framing of the law, to govern Us in the future, and to that end have united on onc candidate, MT. n. D. Gray, a resident of Alaska for the past twenty year.. Not having tn, necessary voIcs Co elect their candidate, they call upon inc voters of Valdez to help them, trusting Co their chivalry and broad-mindcdness to come to the succor of communiyho who'll ly able .to help themselves, plcdging that Mir. Gray will ably and honestly represent the en-
 tire. district withou fear or ia. vor, paying particular attention. however, to the immediate wants
 of his homo community, inas-
 much as other important points n the district will be ably rcp-
 resented. '.. Adv.

SCHOOL PROJECT
 FOR RESERVASION

Continued It"m page {,
 Osition was made to the, town council last night at special meeting.
 After discussion the councilmcn de- cided to deliberate on the mad;er, and to ascertain the feeling of tax. payers. The council will meet a.. gain tonight in the town hall, citizens ale asked to attend and express their views. The meeting will begin al x o'clock.
 As everybody in Valdez knows. the town and Reservation school board have acted in concert for several years maintaining one school with tho funds at the disposal of each, used as one fund The result of this has been to maintain better school than either the town or the Rcserva- ton could have maintained alone with separate funds
 Last year, however, federal wis dom,. as typified by Governor Clark and Comptroller, of the Currency, Murray, decided that 1t was illegal ta- unite the, two schools and ser, -yed notice on Valdez not to let # happen again. .The Reservation school board have been Ia. boring all summer and fall, to obtain a reversal of the order for n separ. ate school, but has received the ul- tlmatum separate school or no mo. ney."
 No suitable building can be sccur- cd on the Reservation. and to fil up any building possible to obtain, VIII cost great deal besides causing delay i'm getting the equip. ment of school furniture As a bet ter alternative the joint school board has asked tho town council for the loan of tho new school building erec- ted last year.
 The Reservation is allowea ta5 2

month for rent of school building. 4 small part of this would probably have to bc paid for ground rent for lot. The remainder would go to the town for rent Of the building. It Is thought n lot can bc rented for g. month.
 In the discussion last night the council agreed with the school board that tho proposition made Is alto. gether the best way out of an awk. ward situation for which nobody To. cally is 10 blame, but the members wanted n little time to consider.
 Some day, it ia hoped. legislative wisdom will permit Valdez to annex the Reservation. Until then 1t will be necessary for the two parts of the town to maintain separate schools and manage school business as far as possible under the law so as to make amalgamation of school property least expensive when annexation comes.

DEMOCRACY THE ONLY WAY.

There's a lot wrong in the country,
no doubt about it-grave Inequalities
in the distribution Of the good things
Of the earth, too much kckin the
under-dog aroun', social injustice, too
many Swollen fortunes" too much
protection Of Sacred property rights
and not enough recognition Of human
welfare-that's the great burden Of
the Socialists song and all progress
siyes agree with them IN this
But there is no sovereign remedy,
no panacea, to make the sick man
wen at one stroke; the regeneration
must come through the application Of
the practical remedies at hand and
who is to apply them? Progressivas.
Of course, and reform must come
through the party that Is most thor
oughly permeated with progressive
ism. In the Republican party is
noble band Of genuine progressives
La Toilette, Cummings and the rest
but the progressive wing Of the Re.
publican party is no more than the
tail Of the kite. Dominated by spec.
ial privilege, thoroughly stepped IN
standpatism, the G. 0. P. IS decadent
concern, a clock whose mechanism
stopped with the hands pointing to
some place in the past eentury--it is
a back-number and no real substan-
tial reform can be expected at its
hands.
In progressive Democracy IS the
hope Of the nation, not for the mlllan
ium next year or in the next century
but for those practical measures Of
reform which viii mean more human
welfare and happiness today and ln
the years to come. The voter this
year must accept no wooden dollars
but apply the practical, progressive
test to every candidate. "The cure sor
the ills Of Democracy is more Democ.
racy," and the Democratic party is
the only medium through which the
cure can be effected.

Taylor played his part on the politt
