SIT. VALENTINE DAY

Superstition is nearly as old as
man and that 1t exists now quite as
strong, though not as wide spread,
as in the early ages of our world, Is
proved by the various rites and cere-
monies practiced on certain days
throughout the year. Even those
who ridicule them, yet participate in
them lust for fun" have a lingering
half suspicion In their minds that II
might come true; especially Is this
the case when inclination points the
way. st. Valentine Is the acknowl-
edged patron saint of lovers; and the
peculiar customs connected with the
day were referred to by writer's near
ly 500 years ago. The st. valentine
who suffered martyrdom on the l4th
OF February was one of the fifty-two
saints of that name but nothing has
ever been found in his life or In the
lives of any of them that would give
occasion for the singular observance
of the day. II has been maintained
that 1t was an ancient custom among
the Romans during the Lupercalia
celebrated in the month of February
for the men and boys to draw the
names OF their future wives In honor
of their goddess Februate Juno, anC
that the Christian clergy finding i
absolutely impossible to abolish thii
neathen custom changed 1t to a re
ligious ceremony by writing on thu
slips of paper instead the names o
women those of particular saint
whom they we're to follow and imi
tate during the year

THE MARCHING sUFFRAGETTEs

The march of women suffragists to
Washington, is one OF the serio-
comic incidents that make American
public affairs seem enigmatical to
the slower 'witted Englishman.
Instead OF ridicullng the feminine
hikers who are turning Themselves
into political sandwish men to ad,
vertise their propaganda, one might
wish that their walkig abilities
should become more general among
womenkind. A large number of wo
men today have practically lost the
use of their feet.
In so far as the American woman
does her own housework, she is in
little donger of this paralysis OF To-
eomotion. The toilsome steps OF the
ousemOther from basement to attic
on her errands OF love and service,
are not without reward. Homework
has long been reckoned healthful
occupation. Ones stomach and liver
may be kept sweet and active at the
washtub and the ironing board quite
as we'll as In an automobile or ON a
costly saddle horse.
The growth of towns, the use OF
trolleys and railroad trains, reduces
the walking that even a worklns
housekeeper must do. In the old
days, when the majority of people
walked long distances to church and
singing school, the women thought
little of their five or ten miles day
The growth of wealth has created
great and increasing class of wo'
men, who are relieved from the
strain of the dish pan and the cook
stove. Their bodies grow torpid ant
their faces pale, and they embroidei
and play bridge. Meantime the toll!
some maid in the kitchen inherit'
the rudy health of our grandmoth
ers. Which suggests that smooth!
riding automobile is no substitute
for good live muscle. The woman
who is past doing her own houseworl
may not need to join suffragett'
hike. But she will never enjoy ra
diant health, II the street car or tn
machine must be caught for ever
half-mile errand.

FRIENDLY ADVICE

Lest anyone should think the Iol-
lowing means disbursement OF
Young women who believe they have
the ability to enter any avenue, in
dustrial or professional, | wish TO
state emphatically that ! firmly ne'
ieye woman should engage In every
phase OF life's activities for which
she prepares herself, doing her WORK
in womanly way.
Among the essentials necessary tC
success may be mentioned thor
ough preparedness for the chosen hne
of labor; determination to win ON
merit, regardless of the accidents OF
he incidents of beauty OF face, tig-
ure or apparel, through a personality
modest, pure, gentle, kind, into d
warn and wool Of which is woven the
cleaning gems of Christian morality,
dignity, reserve and aloofness, which
will be an impenetFable armor on tht
battle field OF life,
Not only in conduct but in dress,
should a young woman emphasize
her individuality, her prudence and
wisdom. Neatness, becomingness
style that is not an extreme o.
fashion, marks woman OF renneo
taste. Any so-called mode bordering
on the immodest, attracting vulgar
attention and causing coarse comment
should be rellgiously avoided. TIC
the young woman leaving the shelter
loving care and protection OF vel
regulated home, this may seem YER!
unimpOrtant, as she has always beer
praised, approved and applauded BY
those who have known her IRON
childhood.
l am not unmindful of the unwrit
ten command to our young wonleT
to be charming, good looking, we'll
dressed, to please and make good
Yes, please with the quality OF youl
work; charm with your digniiet
womanly character, then you VII
make good for all time and with al
people whose opinion is worth while
''Be woman. Naught is higher
On the gilded list of fame;
On the catalogue OF virtue
There's no brighter, holier name.
Be womanj On to duty!
Raise the world from all that's low
Place high in the social heaven
Virtues high and radiant bow.
Lend thy influence to each effort
That shall raise our nature, human
BE not fashions gilded lady
Be brave, whole-souled, true wo

LOSSES in MEXICO

The home side OF the new out
break of Mexican revolutionists APP
pears in the statement published this
" eek, asserting that Americans have
lost $4OO, 100000 out of 100000
900 invested in enterprises and in
dustries in that country.
II stable government is re-estab-
lished at some time in the near fu-
thre, many OF these losses may not
prove total. Buttone surmises that
after the pieces are picked up, there
will be precious few things down
there that are not pretty well dilapi-
dated
1t is an emphatic warning to the
American people, to beware OF in
.estmenLs 100 far from home, and
not under the protection Of power
full government, able and willing to
dispense justice between debtor and
creditor.
There is not hamlet in the United
States that has not been flooded with
circulars Offering sure and golden
rewards to investors In Mexican
Central, and South American enter
prises. A steady stream OF money
rom every state has poured into
these precarious projects.
No doubt many OF them are per
fectly good. But let every man with
money to invest remember this: The
people of ten countries south of the
United States do not take the obi
CATION OF debt seriously. Theil
favorite watchword is "Manana' Ito
morrow. The debtor who insists
upon his principal and interest on III,
day nominated in the bond, is re
garded as most impolite, and trhI
Shylock, asking for his pound o
flesh.
Even an enterprise entirely con
trolled by Americans is more or les
under the pressure of those condi
tiOns. 1t must collect its account
through the means and tools provid
ed by such a happy-go-lucky civiliza
ton.
There are plenty of good invest
ments to be obtained in our home 10
cality, where public sentiment an
the officers of the law work with tn
investor, rather than sitting idly b.
and watching him squirm.

ability and character will be SIS an
nually for every subscriber to his
newspaper is putting 1t very mildly.
Boom the parcels post; make y
better; explain to your local store
keeper that through 1t he can deliver
goods direct. He can be the agent OF
the manufacturer, who has no time TO
start a mail order house, and no IN
clination to do It,
Let the storekeeper advertise
through the country newspapers
what he can do.
Let the country newspapers lln-
press upon the manufacturers the
fact that they, the editor and coun,
try merchants are the only statesmen
in direct contact with those that live
In the country.
There is room for everybody In
this country, that is to say, for every
body who intends to be OF any ser
vice, Asd the mail order houses WIN
live. But their great monopoly VIII
cease.
Do mot overlook the fact that they,
being intelligent men, realize wnat
we have told you here. They know
that there is real danger in the par
pels post for them. They know that
il makes practically worthless thelE
elaborate system of freight delivery,
which they have built up through
years. They know that their system
of selling hundred pounds OF goods
at a time in order to take advantage
OF a low freight rate now goes over
board.
II the merchants in the country
and the local editors throughout the
country, understood the parcels post
as we'll as mail order houses under
stand ii, they would know that che
parcels post will prove to be the
greatest blessing the country editors
and country storekeepers have ever
known.
With the parcels post the loca
merchants prosperity must increase
at once. And with the parcels pos
the country editor will, for the tirs
time, come into his own. The parcels
post will give to the country mer
chant a delivery system as good al
that Of the greatest city department
store, and to the local editor ful
| value for his important services e

DAWSON FAVORS
 OUTSIDE CAMPS

DAWSON, Y. T., March 19.-Camp Dawson No. 4, of the Arctic Brother hood, last evening decided by prac- tically a unanimous vote to stand by the old charter, supporting Grand Arc tic Chief Harry Landahl and the off cers elected by the grand camp which met in North Vancouver last fall, and to refuse to join the insurgent Arctic Brotherhood, organized at Juneau by a convention of Southeastern Alaska camps last week.
 Dawson camp entertains the senti- ment that Coast auxiliary Arctic Bro therhood clubs or similar organiza- tions or camps should be authorized with the privilege of initiating mem bers only from the ranks those who had been in Alaska, the Yukon or other old prescribed territory north of 54-4O, probably with the provision that specific term of residence be required.
 Dawson camp and some others main tain that auxiliary camps or clubs on the Coast will mean the powerful af- filiation of thousands of old Northern CTS who will do much combined legis- lative and other work to further any Northern enterprises and the like
 Earl Grey, fromer governor general of Canada, who was elected vice grand Arctic chief at North Vancouver, has acknowledged the honor to Dawson camp.

FAIRBANKS QUARTZ
 ASSAYS ARE RICH

FAIRBANKS, March IT. - Assays made by Lewis & Walker of Butte, Mont. of ores from the Fairbanks dis trict, returns on which have been re- .ceived here, show phenomenal values in gold. Some time ago A. J. Godske. of Fairbanks, sent out four samples of ore to a friend in Butte for the pur- pose of having assays made, and the assay certificate has aroused much in- terest among mining men.
 A sample from the Newsboy mine on Cleary creek showed an assay value of $1,S2O to the ton, of which 6.5 oz. were silver and 56 oz. gold
 Tolovana samples showed 3.S oz. of silver and PIP oz, of gold to the ton. value of $424 to the ton.
 Samples from the property of the Pioneer Mining Company on Chatham creek showed a value of $5,O4S to the ton. 26.2 oz. of silver and 252.4 oz. of gold to the ton.
 Ore from the property of the Chat ham Mining Company on Chatham creek showed a value of $2OS to the ton, 22 oz. of silver and 1O.4 oz. of gold.
 The gold values are figured at the rate of $2O to the ounce and of course the samples were picked and do not represent the average run of ore in the different veins.

ALASKA FISH ARE
 BEING DESTROYED

Many modest citizens who have here tofore refrained from public utterances are now anxious to be heard upon the fisheries question, especially that part relating to fish traps Naturally those who own them are the most insistent in their defense, and if we are to be- lieve some of their tales we are led to the conclusion that the fish indus try in Alaska will not survive the abol- ishment of the traps. To preserve the industry wholesale slaughter is neces- sary. However, many Alaskans, some of whom have an intimate and far reaching knowledge of the subject in hand. are not backward in saying that the fish are being destroyed. and that in this, as in all other material, the adage is true that waste brings want.

CITIES TO CONTROL
 WHARFAGE RATES

Representative F. M. Boyle, of Val dez, has introduced a bill in the House of Representatives that will give town councils in Alaska power to regulate wharfage rates within their city linn its if it shall become a law. The bill is amendatory of the municipal incor- poration act and provides that city councils shall have the power:
 By ordinance to establish uniform schedule of wharfage, dockage, and tonnage fees, charges and rates, to be charged and collected for hay, grain, coal. machinery, merchandise, live stock or other freight, shipped to or from or handled, loaded or dis charged into or upon any dock, wharf, barge, scow or float or other struc- ture used as a dock or wharf, situated within the territorial limits oi such municipality, or so closely adjacent thereto as to afford or supply the usual convenient method or means of receiving or discharging passengers or freight destined to, through or from such municipality, by any person, per sons, corporation or corporations leas. ing, owning, or maintaining such dock, wharf, barge, scow, or float; and to declare a violation of such ordinance by the charging or collecting of any more, larger, or greater rates or fees than such as may be established by such municipality, a misdemeanor, and to provide a penalty for such viola tion thereof"

CHICAGO, March 29.-A. C. Frost, testifying in his own behalf, said that he did not go into the railroad business at Seward or in the coal business for the purpose of making money.
