the fact that low temperatures followed
wet weather and were succeeded by
renewed rains has probably added to
the fear of a short and low grade

figures are expected from the census

AS not more than AZ per cent of the
crop has been ginned on the average
to October IS, bearishly disposed
traders contend that a ginning of l.
10000 should modify some of the
smaller estimate of the crop, while the
bulls claim that the ginning to October

ally large percentage of total yield and
probably equal that of 1909, when ap-
proximately 30 per cent was reported up
to the date covered by the present fig
ures. Meanwhile reports from abroad
continue to indicate increased foreign
crops while the unsettled Mexican sit
uation and financial troubles In Bonn
bay are considered unfavorable features
as bearing upon probable requirements.

Rebels Repulsed

Mexico City. october 24--The war de-
vartment received a dispatch stating
that the rebels have been repulsed at
Monterey with heavy losses by the local
garrison who were reinforced by the
troops of Generals Ocarranza, Rena and
Aanaya from Saltillo and Hipolito, after
10 hours of fierce fighting The dis
patch was from General Iberri. federal
commander at Monterey. 1t Is said that
the rebels, under Jesus Carranza, num-
mbering 5000, attacked Monterey from
the north and west and fought their
way to the outskirts of the city. They
were battered by the artillery on Obispo
hill, to which they replied with two
cannon and several machine guns. The
garrison was in a bad way when Gem
erals Pena and Ocarranza, with 1900
men and General Anaya with 1000, ar
rived and caught the rebels on the
rear and the flank.
The dispatch estimates the rebel loss
at 500 men.

THINKS HAYNES ROUTE
 THE MOST PRACTICABLE

The coming of the Democratic rarty into power in America should bring with 1t a train of benefits to Alaska, and these should spread their influence throughout the North, says the Dawson News Woodrow Wilson was elected on a platform of progressive ideas, and 1t is to be expected the new gov ernment will foster the develop ment of all matters looking to the best interests of the territory.
 Alaskans expect to get most of the appointive offices. This will mean people who have their hopes and their wealth staked on the Northland in places Of responsibility in that land. They will have their hearts in the work. The Demo crats set out in their platform their faith in the control of public affairs by the people as against corpora tion monopoly. This should mean the carrying out of the construc- tion of the proposed government trunk railways for the various parts of Alaska. Millions should be spent in this enterprise alone. The com mission which recently visited AL aska looks on this proposal most favorably, and it seems that the Haines route is one of the most practicable and most promising from the standpoint of central To- cation. shelter, accessibility at all seasons of the year and prospective tonnage. A line along that route will tap the Yukon Territory as well as Alaska, and will have its southern terminal on Lynn canal, a port that reaches the great Alas kan inland sea route, the protected water highway connecting the North land with the Southland.

Hunt out the little lame girl,
The poor boy who is blind;
Huntaout the weary widow
Who thinks the world upkind:
Search down among the novels
Where gladness seldom strays,
And teach the doubling people
There still are Christmas days.
You have been busy planning
To spread your gifts afar,
70 add your fair love-tokens
Where joys and comforts are,
But have you in your gladness
Bestowed one kindly thought
On those who sit In darkness,
Whose crusts are dearly bought
Your heart is full of kindness,
You hear the anthems sung
And gaze up at the windows
Where ribboned wreaths are hung:
You've heard the sweet old story
With reverence retold-
But there are hungry children
Where all is dark and cold.
Hunt out the little lame girl,
The poor boy who is blind;
HUNT out the weary widow
Who thinks the world unkind;
90 down among. the victims
or chance and greed and crime
And cause them to remember
That this is Christmas time.

SERVANT
PRB',IPM

Z Esd
Mr. Glenfaddle started out about
two weeks before Christmas to solve
the servant problem.
THE trouble with women" he said
to hiss wife, is that they don't go at
the thing right. This trouble will
never be settled until it is settled by
diplomacy, and diplomacy is, thing
that, am sorry to say, doesn't come
natural to women. Servant girls are
only human-that's thing which is
too often forgotten. Treat your girls
kindly and they will stand by you.
That's the rule l go by in my bust
ness affairs. What kind Of time do
you suppose 1 would have with the
men in my office if tried to manage
them as woman manages the help in
her kitchen? Why, I'd always have
to keep breaking in new people.
Now let me give you few point
ers Get something nice for the-girl
on Christmas-something that you
would be glad to have yourself. Most
women give their servants a few
cheap trinkets that serve no other
purpose than to show the girls that
they are put away down in the social
scale.
Instead of getting her a~ten-cent
comb or new continuance to scrape
the crumbs of the dining room table,
buy her a nice present this year. Give
her something she will be proud to
show to her friends. Then, you see,
they will get to envying her and com.
pairing their own cheap presents with
what she got from us, and what'll be
