Piano for Village School

I'm asking if some one has good
toned piano he would donate to the
primary room in a village school, size
immaterial, as we have plenty of room.
There are many good old style pianos
sold at low prices. Perhaps II the con-
stituency realized what an instructive,
humanizing power it would be to the
children, who seem to be all tongues
and eyes, and whose minds are filed
with the desire to grasp from others,
they would hustle In mites till my
wish is achieved. The town does not
provide an instructor In music.
M A. s."
Yours may seem large petition at
first sight Yet l insert it, recalling,
as I do, that few years ago l rescued
an old square piano. perfect In all
parts, from a lumber room over an
ice house and secured it for country
mission, where itsis doing good service
still. IL there be a discarded instru-
ment slowed away in an attic or WOOD
house somewhere 1t would be genu-
line beneficence to the community In
which the school mentioned is located
to bring 1t into light and usefulness.

Not Exactly Twainesaue

From the Springfield Republican, U
Mark Twain is to have two monuments
In Missouri one at his birthplace in
Florida. the other in Riverview park IN
Hannibal both erected by the state. He
deserves them both, but is not the in
scription proposed for the Florida memo
rial little too despondent? He cheered
and comforted a tired sworld." But is il
a tired world? The fashion nowadays Is
TO praise literature in the terms of San
cho Panza's blessing on him who invent
ed sleep, but II is as dubious compli-
ment as Pope's tribute to an industrious
contemporary writer, 'Sleepess himself
to give his readers sleep" II is not only
the exhausted who gets good from Mark
Twain; he is one of the favorite authors
of young people.

BASEBALL RUMORS
 FLOATING AROUND

Down at Young's place there is an exhibition baseball about IA inches in diameter hanging in the show window, Sightseers the other day were amazed to see a placard attached to the ball bearing this legend: This is the only kind of a ball Jack McBride's outfit can hit" The placard has since been removed. It is said that Mayor Car ter has the gumshoe force of the city government working on the case with the purpose of prosecuting somebody for malicious trespass.
 There is a persistent rumor ahoat that the Alaska-Gastineau Company re- gently received a consignment of base ball stars. disguised as bohunks, and that "Old.Spit-in-the-Mott" Reedy will ring them in after the Young outfit have been tied up for a game.
 There has been considerable persif' lage flying back and forth between these two concerns and the public is really wondering if there is a possi' bility of finding any baseball timber in either establishment. Down at the Young's headquarters they have a lot of new, nice duds in a glass case that they seem afraid to soiling, and the Gastineau outfit seem to fear tearing their overalls.

EARLY BREAKUP IN
 STORE FOR INTERIOR

Fairbanks, April 2.-Present indica- tions are that the 1913 breakup will be much larger and will be accompan- jed by more water than the breakup of 1912. That at least is the opinion of A. J. Johnson, the Colorado road house man, who is in the city on a business trip. He came down Monday and plans to leave over the winter trail within few days.
 Regarding the snow conditions in the Big Cinema district, the roadhouse man said that there was much more than last year, and that the chances for a great volume of water were very good. There is depth of two feet of snow on the level in the en- tire upper Cinema basin, but the ice in the river is much less than two years ago, when the phenomenal breakup took place. MT. Johnson said he did not expect as big a breakup as 1911 unless a remarkably warm spell came and melted the entire winters snow in quick time.

Juneau is not Alaska. The capital should be moved where the people in Alaska could meet and transact busi' ness without stepping on foreign soil, Any place is preferable to the present location except Spokane. The capital must be located near the geographi' cal center. Fairbanks is the logical point. These are few of the reasons why Juneau lost the capital at last nights session Of the House,
 The argument started over the in- troduction of the Shoup Memorial, asking Congress to make an addition al appropriation of S5OO.OOO for the construction of a federal building in Juneau. which added to the amount already set apart for that purpose would make a fund Of $7OOOOO.
 Representative Ingram started things by stating that he was opposed to the memorial As a member from Valdez got into his subject the warm CT he got and if he had been at home no doubt there would have been a glacial flood The other day NIT. In- gram had a memorial under consider ation in the interest of public schools found some very stubborn opposition from Mir. Shoup, "Of course" said MT. Ingram. this little sum of S7OO,OOO is mere bag of shells, and Uncle Sam is rich-but you fellows thought $7.OOO would wreck the country if ex- pended on a sensible school measure. But Juneau wants it-I suppose we on ly came down here to give Juneau what she asks for. Not with Farther Ingram. The idea Of asking for this sum is preposterous and the thought of spending so much money in place
