ASQUITH SAYS
 HOME RULE SURE


 LADYBANK. Scotland, Nov. 6. - Premier Asquith has announced the eagerly awaited decision of the Coy ernment on the Irish problem. which recently has become befogged by va TiOus proposals for conferences of the political parties and by divergent ut- terances of the members of the Cab inet
 Mir. Asquith came out hatfooted against the suggested formal round table conference but betrayed a leaning toward a compromise on the lines sug- gested by First Lord of the Admiralty Churchill, namely, leaving northeast corner of Ulster to remain under the Imperial Parliament for a limited pc riod.
 The Premier intimated plainly that no insuperable barrier must be erect ed which might permanently sever the unity of Ireland or prevent the Prot estant minority from ultimately throw ing in their lot with the rest of their fellow-cOuntrymen.
 Anxious as he showed himself to be for a friendly settlement. Premier As quith unhesitatingly announced his de- cisiOn to establish a Parliament in Ire land in accordance with his promise. and also, if the Opposition declines his suggested adjustment of the Ulster problem, to use armed forces Of the Nation in carrying the law into effect.

DAWSON WATERWORKS
 OUT OF COMMISSION

DAWSON, Nov. 6.-This city is un- dergoing another period of pioneering, so far as the question of water sup ply is concerned Owing to changes being made in the water mains, the city supply will be cut off for the win ter, and resources had to wells.
 Throughout the city consumers are installing tanks, barrels and other sup plies for safety purposes. Some also are putting in fire extinguishers, and taking extra precaution to have heat ing apparatus, wiring and other ap- paratus overhauled. The fire chief says the fire inspectors will begin work in day or two. Several penalties are provided for infraction of the laws re- specting heating apparatus and other precautions against fire.
 The Mems club has arranged to get a delivery for general purposes, and will have the water pumped into a large storage tank daily from wagons. A small pump is being installed.
 The extremely mild weather is ia vOrable for those installing the new wells and private services, and all are rushing their work.
 The water for drinking purposes in hotels, restaurants, hospitals and other places will be secured from the wag- ons, which get their supply from the south end wells.
 It is understood some of the old wells in the south end which have been out of use for some time are being re- opened.

 Mir. Joslin had expected to leave later in the fall for the Outside, but matters have arisen in the New York office that require his immediate at tention.
 While the greater part of his time this winter will be spent in New York, Mir. Joslin expects to visit Washington during the regular ses- sion of congress, and probably will be at the capital when the Alaska railroad bill comes up for final vote.

WILLIS E. HOWELL
 BOOSTED JUNEAU

O-O-
 Willis E. Nowell, of Juneau, did not miss an opportunity to boost his home town while he was in Seattle. Just before leaving he gave this interview to the Seattle Post-IntelIigencer.
 During the past six months the population has increased to more than 4,OOO making Juneau proper the larg- est city in all Alaska" said Novel;. With the increase at Douglas and Treadwell the population of the three places is rapidly nearing the 10000 mark and it is going up all the time.
 With this large increase there has been no sign of boom but the growth has been steady and sure. The most gratifying thing about this develop ment is the fact that the permanent population has indicated the greatest advance, while fluctuations in num- bers of the migratory inhabitants to a great extent are absent in Juneau statistics.
 "Concurrently with this gratifying increase a tremendous amount of de- velopment work has been done at Ju- neau and much construction has been going on at both the Alaska -Gastineau and Alaska-Juneau mines, in addition to great activity at other mining prop critics. At the two larger mines an average of 1,5OO men are employed and the monthly pay orll is in the neigh borhood of $1OO,OOO. To accommo- date the rising population created by local industries houses can hardly be erected quick enough"

Alaska Steamship
 Company Plans

Agent w. E. Nowell, of the Alaska Steamship company, states that he was successful in his application for a change in the steamer schedule that would afford a better service to Ju- neau and Ketchikan He made the trip out for the purpose of consulting the officials of his company on this matter and returned on the last trip of the Jefferson. Under the new plan all of Southeastern Alaska will be benefited by reduced time schedule as far North as Juneau. The Jeffer- son will be benefited by a reduced time schedule as far north as Juneau. The Jefferson is to go on a 10-day schedule with Juneau as the northern terminus This will in a large meas ure Obviate the disability Juneau and towns to the SOuthward have been sub jected to by the oversales of rooms and berths at points to the Westward and Skagway.
 Plans are now being drawn for a large. 20-knot steamship for the Southeastern Alaska run which is very good evidence that this company intends keeping up it's progressive way of going after business. As soon as conditions warrant it is said a sec ond vessel of the same type will be ordered.
 The Northwestern has taken the run of the MaripOsa and the latter has been dOcked for repairs and a thorough overhauling. As soon as the Mariposa is finished with the Alameda will un- dergo the same experience

KEEP POULTRY HOUSE CLEAN
Given Plenty of Good Food ana weh-
Kept House Hen VIII Solve the
Winter Egg Problem

Experience has led me to conclude
that cleanliness is a profitable virtue
in poultry raising. Give the hen
plenty of good food and clean quar-
tiers and she will give no occasion ror
worry over the winter egg problems.
We who have followed the chicken
business eithor for pleasure or pront,
for pin money or income, have heard
this time-old advice repeated with re-
ligious regularity every new moon
writes Dennis H. Stovall OF oregon
in the Northwest Farmstead. When
we give it heed, we win; when we let
1t pass, we lose.
Cleanliness in the henhouse and
the poultry yard is a very simple
thing, for the reason that it depends
upon simple things. A few years ago
I experimental with fancy roosts, pat
ent drop boards, intricate nest shelves,
and various other contrivances calcu-
lated to make the hen lay, and to
make chicken raising easy. These
have all been discarded. They entailed
too much care, and involved far more
labor than the simple, common sense
,ethods. I have found nothing bet.
n for roosts than those of the saw
orse pattern. This gives a roost

BEST PLACE FOR TOOL HOUSE
count of Goodness and Less
Needed for Stock.

The north side of a barn Is in
many ways the best place to house i'm
plements, for 1T is cooler to work in
and less needed to shelter the stock
than the south side. An iron roof not
in every way suited to stock will an
swer the purpose, and is cheap. One
of the main difficulties in shedding
tools Is to be able to get at them as
needed. The drill is often needed, fall
as we'll as spring, and lot of tools
other tools are often hard to reach.
Perhaps square house with drive
way through the middle and plenty
of rolling outside doors is the most
convenient, for in that case each tool
can be moved out directly.
Doors are not so very much more
expensive than the sides of the build
Ing. and they can be made tight enough
for the machinery which is not affect
ed by drafts. If the shed is not con-
venient the machinery will be outside
great part of the time. | do not
believe 1t is practical to shed all the
wagons in this climate-they must be
out so much anyhow that the protec-
ton of good paint which they carry
with them will be more effective than
shedding part of the time. except with
wagons used for hauling which are
not In use through the summer.

SERVING THE AFTERNOON TEA
Appurtenances May Be Costly or Sim
pie, but Everything Must Be of
the Dalntiest Order.

When the woman who is her own
maid serves afternoon tea she appre-
ciates the convenience of having a
cart which can be wheeled from kitch-
en- to living room and will hold every
thing that is needed for the collation..
The carts come in mahogany or fumed
oak with glass top shelves and rub
Der tired wheels and In natural wood
with rattan, and, considering their
usefulness, none are very expensive
Lacking the cart, many housekeepers
have in their living room a little oak
or mahogany or willow tea table
equipped with a spoon drawer, which
also holds several paper napkins. In
stead of keeping the service upon
the table its top Is ordinarily covered
with an deliberately embroidered silk
en- mat, which is whisked off when the
tea equipage Is brought in on a tray
OF the proper size. Unless this tray
IS a handsome affair of glass trimmed
with mahogany, silver or brass, it
should be covered with fine linen
ray cloth and be accompanied by Il
muffin stand of wood or of willow.

Where decreases are shown, they
have been the result OF Reconsideration
of roads.
Strangely enough, New York Is the
only one of the eight that appears in
the list of the eleven states leading
In actual progress in road building in
che five-year period. In other words,
while the entire eight states maintain
their lead, 1t is merely because of
their earlier start. and New York alone
is entitled to a place in the list of
states In progress in the last five
years. The states which are leading
in progressive road building are New
York, Georgia, Washington, Missouri,
South Carolina, Alabama, Pennsylva-
MIA, Tennessee, New Jersey. Florida
and Maryland.
The gain in New York, according to
the director of the office of public
roads, is due largely to the fact that
the state has bonded itself for s50,000,-
900, and that $5,000,00O a year more
is being expended by the state, in ad-
dition to an equal sum by the coun-
ties, in building state highways. New
York is leading all the states in actual
progress at the present time, and If
the pace is maintained she will take
the lead over Indiana and Ohio in ac-
tual mileage in few years.

Having the Fringe and Beads, the
Decoration Is by No Means Hard
to Put Together.

A very simple bead tassel can be
made from deep fringe or from loose
beads.
II you use loose beads you must
thread forty lengths of seventy beads
each, or twenty lengths of hundred
and thirty beads if a double end Is
preferred to single one. Each
length is attached to a narrow strip
of satin ribbon, which is then wound
round and round and stitched through
to prevent the middle of the little
bundle from slipping.
If the tassel Is made of fringe, cut
off five inches and wrap the heading
round and sew as described above
Next take piece of stiffening one
inch and half long, two inches broad
at one end and three-quarters Of an
inch at the other. Cover with silk
and oversew the edges together so as
to form a tube.
Slip the satin ribbon inside the
larger aperture in the tube and stitch
through securely, for the beads make
the tassel very heavy. Thread about
two hundred beads and wind the
string round the tube to completely
cover the silk, sewing at intervals.
Make another string of eighty beads,
double into three, and sew to the top
to form loop.
