LITTLETRANSFER-
 RED ID HADLEY

(. A. Little, the government cable operator has been given an assign ment at Hadley, on Prince of Wales island, and expects to leave Skag- way during the first ten days of the coming month. It Is believed that instead of sending another operator here, a civilian messenger will be employed, and the business of the office be conducted by Operator Button, thus Skagway will lose an other family that we had hoped would remain permanent residents.
 The word arrived &t the cable of flee today, ordering the change, and Mir. Little IS already preparing for he removal which he expects will take place most any day
 Hadley, the town to which he is going, is situated on the southern vud of Prince of Wales island, and until within the past two years has maintained cable office since the original establishment of the Alaska cable. It is iu the heart of the quartz mining industry of south eastern Alaska, the copper mine which brought it into existence be- ing known as the Mamie. Some years ago a big shelter was estab- lished there at & cost of a quarter of a million dollars, but it only operated a year or so when the com pauy got tied up in litigation and the mine and shelter both ceased operation. Then tho cable operator was removed and for the past two years only walchman and his family remained to look after the property.
 Something over a year ago the legal entauglement got strengthened o.t and the mine was reopened. The price of copper came up and shipments began. The Mt, Andrew mine. Rush and Brown, the It mine ala various properties in Kassan lay increased their output, and the ever faithful Jumbo, owned by Gov. Sulzer. at Sulzer on the same island, which never stops shipping, also increased it's output. The new town of Craig with three hundred people has been established, as has also a number of fishing villages. Prince of Wales island is one of the most miueralized islands in Alaska, be- sides supplying immense quantities of salmon. herring and haltbut. It is owing to the increase of business that the government has seen fit to reopen the cable station. Then it is very probable that tho influence of Governor Sulzer had much to do with the re-cstablishment of the ca,e service at Hadley, for it can be reached by his land line.
 The country to which Mir. Little and family are going, abounds in deer. grouse, bear all the varieties of fish. and is an eutranciug spot from a scer.ic standpoint Hadley is out a mining camp, with mines all around, but business is nourishing and he win have plenty to busy himself with.

JUNEAU SOCIALISTS PUT
 CITY TICKET IN FIELD

The Jun0au socialists have plaa- cd a ticket in the field for election to the city council. Part of th0ir platform says:
 The Socialist party believes in the development of industry, and tho development of the country. Contrary to the general impression, the Socialist party Is not opposed to corporations, nor to the growth of large industrial concerns. It Insists only, that until such time as not one but all of the great and little in dustrles, not of the city but of the world, shall be taken over and operated for the benefit of human ity, the workers, both mental and physical, shall have the largest pos s.ple share of prosperity, and that the natural resources shall not be destroyed. This rule, as ap- piled to the great trusts and to the public service corporations, Is sub feet to some notifications in the in- terest of the consumer, but 1t is, broadly speaking, the policy of the Socialist party toward private enter prise generally, under the existing system. With these reservations, tho Socialist party believes that in terference with private enterprises by the public is very likely to hin- der the development Of industry, and result in injury to labor as well as to capital, and Is mischeyious and i'll advised, It believes that the great mining companies should be treated with the greatest fairness, aud receive every reasonable en- 
 We believe that the action of the present council, in eXempting bil- Ions of dollars worth of property wholly from taxation, is an outrage and we apologize fol the use of SO mild a word.
 The Socialist party has never been overpraised for the Puritanism of It's views, but, composed as it ia almost exclusively of working men, for whom it is supposed, tenderloin, Is a necessity, believe that the ex- isting restricted district is q dis g.ace to any self respecting mining camp.
 We charge that the present coun- ell has been degelict in It's duty in permitting the city to fill with gam blers and other disreputables of the underworld who thrive at the ex- pense of fallen women, and the most helpless of the working class, and we hold that no methods can be too drastic for the prompt rid dance of this most dangerous ele- mont.
 The Tide Flats Redemption plan has the unqualified approval of the Socialist party. We believe that there is no more important problem confronting the city than this pro ject. and 1t should be pushed as rapidly as possible,
 We believe that the city council should have pet.tioned the legisla- ture to memorialize congress, in this behalf that Delegate Wickersham may have the moral support of the house and senate in his effort he has promised to make to get the tide flats transferred to the city,

Queen Elizabeth reigned in England in
the sixteenth century, and put that coun-
try so thoroughly on the map that it has
since then run all over it like the color OF
fast black stocking.
Elizabeth. according to her friends.
was a beautiful Queen. but many of her
critics, who lost their heads during her
reign, left private advices to the effect
that she had red hair and a mole and
was not as graceful as a hatrack. She
was the daughter OF Henry VIII by wife
No. !, Series B, but this did not provide
her with much of pull after her fathers
death. For some time her half-sister
Mary, who was very fatal to her rela-
tives. intended beheading her, but she
put the job of too long, and when Mary
died Elizabeth became queen.
Being Queen of England at that time
was no sinecure, for England was a
small country and its powerful rivals,
such as Holland, France, and Spain, took
great pleasure in booting it around. How
ever, Elizabeth paid strict attention to
the army and navy and did not load il
down with personal friends OF Congress
men. AS a result, England whipped
everything within reach and chased
Spain's feet into hitherto unexplored
oceans.
Elizabeth naturally became very popu-
lar. and received many offers OF marriage
But she was tickle and hard to suit The
best she could do was to become a sister
to a large assortment OF gallant English
dukes, most of whom died by request
when sister got peeved. Those English
men who were not busy licking Spain
during her reign devoted themselves to

HENS OF ENGLAND
OUTLAY AMERICAN
Remarkable Record Made in Contest
by Pen of Single-Comb White
Leghorns.

In the current issue Of Farm and Fire
side appears report of an egg-laying
contest recently terminated in this coun-
try.
The really sensational feature of the
contest thus far is the wonderful record
made by the pen or sIngIe-comb white
Leghons entered in the contest by an
English poultryman. This pen during the
six months laid I.23i eggs. which is 1853
eggs more than the next best pen laid.
and an average Of rs eggs a hen more
than the average production OF a hen of
all the hens in the contest.
The question naturally arises, why has
the English pen so far outdistanced our
American pens? There must be a rea-
son. When ten birds, after travelling on
ocean and land for two weeks, much of
the time without feed or water, can start
right in and make a record of this kind,
there must be something more than luck
behind il.
The owner of this pen states that every
one of the ten pullets in the pen was
bred from a female with high record
for egg production, and sired by a male
out of a high-producing hen. Therein
seems to lie the secret of the wonderful
record which this pen is making.
There can be no doubt that the average
American poultry breeder during the last
few years has been paying so much at
tention to the color of feathers and show
records that he has lost sight of the more
important matter of egg production. One
thing is certain, promiscuOus and care
less breeding will never enable the poul-
trymen Of this country to make any prog
ress in egg production. Careful breeding
and selection must be practiced if prog
ress is to be made.

We all honor Mr.. Carnegie for his
philanthropic and humane decision to
have the Balkan atrocities investigated
by the Carnegie Peace Foundation. But
what does this great peace advocate ex-
pect to gain for the civilized world by
such a costly probe, entailing sacrifice,
hardships, and mayhap loss of life? If
it proposes to focus public opinion
upon the outrageous doings in South
eastern Europe, he can save himself
the trouble, for all this is only too

What did Queen Victoria do during

Great Britain do to stop them or to

A Champion of the Slit Skirt.

The last word against the slit skirt
is that il causes nervous diseases
Not for the wearer-she is said tc
gain health and strength by the wear
ing of the much maligned garment
but for the young men whose peace ot
mind is utterly destroyed by the be-
wildering. bewitching allurement OF
dainty ankles that the slit skirt aids
in displaying.
1t is the director of the department
of health in Pittsburgh, DR.. z. H.
Walters, who speaks this last word
against the slit skirt; but the gallant
doctor adds half a dozen words for,
where he utters one against, the slit
skirt. "All for the ladies'" the doctor
declares he is, when discussing this
grave problem of the propriety OF
slashing clothes until they do not con-
ceaL
An increase in the number of nerv-
Gus diseases among young men this
summer has been noticed by DR.. Wal
tiers. He attributes the increase, to slit
skirts. They seem TO take the young
mans mind off his business-off his
sport-off his meals-off everything
else but the slash and what it shows.
This narrowing diversion of attention
from the serious and normal affairs of
life is making the trouble. For, ac-
cording to the doctor, ankles are not
only alluring but deceptive, too. and
not fair criterions in the Judgment of
woman.
But that, of course, is merely a-phil-
osophic animadversion, founded upon
personal experience, for the doctor ex-
plains that:
Personally, I have taken little no.
tice of the new skirt, for l am a
home-loving man and careful about
matters OF this kind. And | do not
know why young men should be so
closely observant of ankles. | have
always judged women by their eyes.
| have found it much better way.
Ankles are deceiving.
And this is what he says for the
slashed skirt:
The ladies seem to like slit skirts,
and am for anything that pleases the
ladies. In that way | think that the
slit skirt may do some good, because
people are never sick when they are
well pleased. And if the ladies want
it, why, my goodness! Why not let
them have it?
If the gallant doctor is right-and
who can say he isn't?-all these cry
ings-out, and viewings-with-alarm, and
dirc-prophesyings OF the terrible ills
that must follow the wearing of the
slashed skirt, as a symbol of startling
innovations in woman's dress and
manners and activities, would seem to
be misdirected It's our young men
that need care. They are the ones
whose nerves are being shattered by
the slashed skirt.
The ladies, as the doctor says, if
it pleases them it will help to keep
them contented and healthy; and all
of US, like the doctor, are for anything
that pleases the ladies.

Singular Though Merited Appointment.

recently, urging Mr.. Wilson to delay

eral OF the Philippines no longer
and thus 10 make good tine plank in
the Democratic platform for early in
dependence of that people, he may not
have been aware that the choice for

1t is an interesting coincidence that
the President should select for the
office of which Mr.. Taft was the first
incumbent the member of Congress to
whom the door of the White House
was closed during the term of Mr.,
Taft. Mr.. Harrison accused Mr.. Taft
of making a false statement to Con-
gress in the Ballinger case, and after
that the President declined to receive
him.
Among his colleagues in the House
the new Governor enjoys a probably
unprecedented popularity. A ranking
member of the Ways and Means Com

tariff views of the White House. He
was indorsed for Governor of the
Philippines by the Anti-Imperialist
