plan to clrtail that mission by the
passage of so. called COW ordinances
in which their browsing rights are
limised and restricted. You know
there isn't any grass to be had in
busy towns and cities; what we
want to do is to build up a town
here with so many people in it,
and so much business going on,
that every blade of grass will be
worn from the streets, and it will
not be necessary to legislate the
COWS therefrom; for they will not
hang around where there is moth
ing to eat. Cows instinctively
drift toward good feed and away
from bare streets. Once near
Macon, Ga, the writer hereof
permitted the gate to fine field
of corn to remain open half an
hour and in that time SO cows
travelled seventeen and one half
miles and got into that corn.
However, all this is merely pre-
fatory, sort of foreword. What
we want to know is why that in
junction suit does not come up.
Any layman, any fool for that
matter, knows that a temporary
restraining order or injunction is
granted only for the time being
and must be followed very soon by
full hearing of the case at which
time the injunction is made per-
manent or dissolved. A gentle
man who was in Arcadia last Sat-
urday was told that the papers in
the case had been lost; that the
Judge was ready to hear it at any
time, but that no time had been
set for the hearing because no one
had asked it.
The case should be taken up at
once. 1t is a matter Of great inn
.portance to the people. Some
have made arrangements to keep
their cows outside of the prohibit
ed territory, others have turned
out cows which have been penned
up, and every one is anxious for
decision in the matter. It is poss-
IDLE that the decision of the Judge
will not be final. and the case tax
en- to the supreme court. That
court has already passed ona num-
Der of similar ordinances and the
result is we'll known
So. for goodness sake, let the
attorneys who have been retained
by the council do something, or
resign and let some body take
hold of the matter who will.

SEND THE MAIL VIA OPHlR

The Ruby Record-tizen is out with the proposal that nnoko darod and kuskokwim mail should be routed via Ruby and Cripple next winter. With commPndabe enter prise and at considerable cost to themselves the people o Ruby have cut trail from Long City to Cripple thus meeting the latter place with the Iukon The trail has been for several Weeks and it's value for local pur roses has been proved beyond dOuD but the people o Ruby believe it should be part of great highway from the Yukon the kuskokwm and therefore advocate it as
 that the suggestion is good At present Innoko Ia kotna and tarod mail passes through Ruby but instead of travelling thence to it's destination by logical route 1t follows the menerngs of the Yukon ill totally different direction for nearly 200 miles before turns off at kaag This would be absurd enough if lditarOd the only place but it becomes dOubly when is renem beeC that mail for Ophir and 1akona is thrown off at Diskake thence to be hauled month to its des tnation under another contract.
 The suggested route via Ruby and Cripple has many advantages and few drawbacks. Not only would the 400 pounds of mail allowed the Idtarod-Innoko section travel 100 miles shorter than at present. but be eliminated and the saved In addition, the nnoko camps would have weekly instead of a monthly service But that is not all There is why Iditarod should be the terminal point The route might with great advantage be continued through to KomakOfky and Bear creek There great trunk route which has equal the North far tributary to it concerned and the number of established settlements which it would pass through Ruby, Long Cripple Ophir, Takotna Iditarod, komakotsky, Bear, Bethel And one mail con tract, inteigently drawn could them all But it will take than weekly weight limit of 400 pounds to do it.
 If the post0ce authorities anxious for efficiency in the Alaskan service they might do than inquire into the possibilities of the suggested route

When found by her neighbor, Rose, who heard the report of the shot and investigated, the girl was found lying stretched out on her couch, garbed in the flowing gown of her kind, with blood trickling from the corner of her mouth. A revolver was grasped in her right hand, which rested on her bosom.
 On the bureau in the front room under piece of cut. glass, was note written by the deceased, giving some explanation of her rash act. She par ticularly asked that her friends should be kept in ignorance of her fate.
