each earns for him. 1t seems that
practical work such as this is of far
greater value than work started from

were about two dozen very excellent
ears of corn entered. The one that
took the prize was an ear of Wiscon-

Natures Wise Process.

In the case of all fish which take care
of their young, a curious adaptation of
natural law to circumstances is found.
Those which take the greatest pains
and care in sheltering their offspring
have the fewest eggs, perhaps less
than 100 at lay, while, on the other
hand, species of fish which pay not the
slightest attention to their young pro-
duce hundreds of thousands, and even
millions of eggs, at single lay.

ABOUT PETRoeRAp.

St. Petersburg by any other name will be a beautiful city of more than 100000 inhabitants, counting sub urbS and dependencies. "Petrograd" means Peter's stronghold or fort, and preserves tke memory of the great czar at whose fiat wonderful city rose from the marshes of the Nova. "Petrograd" is Russian, and at pres ent the burg is cosmopolitan.
 The Muscoyite government is doing everything 1t cen to fire the Russian heart and intencify anti.German senti. ment Herein it departs from the traditions of Peter the Great, who borrowed many ideas, customs and practices, including town nomencla. ture, from Germany. St. Petersburg is. like Washington, an artificial capi. tai built by decree on c site dictated by political considerations. Unlike Washington, however, it has become a city of great influence on national commerce and national intellectual progress and development. It has made good the predictions of it's i'm perial founder, whereas Washington has not realized the vision of its great namesake, and so far from being a center of trado and commerce is al purely residential capital. - Boston

FORMER ALASKAN URGES
 BUNNELL'S ELECTION

THANE, Oct. 21.-To the Editor:-I Just word to the people of Alaska who win vote for Delegate to Con gress on the Srd of next month.
 was formerly legal resident of Alaska and will be 50 again. Just at present am legal yotor elsewhere and expect to be on the Outside to vote for a congressman who is in full sympathy with our great President Woodrow Wilson.
 1 have made three trips up here during the past year in the interests of an Eastern syndicate, and now that we can get coal at home, they will invest their capital and make their presence felt. As a close observer and having been in touch with Alas kan affairs in the immediate past want to say to all the people of Alaska that a vote for James Wicker sham for Delegate to Congress is a direct, open insult to our great Presi- dent Wilson, after the absurd claims that he has made.
 That we have a railroad project and the coal, Is NOT due to James wickersham, is broad assertion, but is a fact.
 What we have, we owe to the of forts of our Outside friends; Wick ersham introduced the bills in Con- gress ONLY as Alaska's legal repre- sentative for which he is paid a sal ary.
 The influence that got what we have came from outside sources and as the results of the investigations made by President Wilson's personal represen- taives sent by him to look into the merits Of our contentious.
 Wickersham's boosted fighting abil- ity has been a detrimeut to Alaska. Fighting may be all right at times, but when one loses his temper in his discussions he loses the self respect of his colleagues and the force of his argument is wasted.
 Many prominent citizens of Alaska consider that the "Wick" temper has set us back.
 Wickersham is man without . par ty, and 1t is folly to send a man to Congress who is not in sympathy with the party in power.
 Charles E. Bunnell IS in sympathy and has the direct endorsement of the administration forces. If the peo pie of Alaska want to show their ap preciation to President Wilson for his efforts in their behalf they will send Mir. Bunnell to Washington with biz majority behind him.
 Very truly,

RUBY AGAIN DEFEATS
 INCORPORATION PLAN

RUBY, Sept 27.-By very decis- i've vote last Tuesday the citizens of Ruby declared against incorporation at this time.
 This is the second time incorpora- tion has failed to carry. the other in stance being on March IS, 1913. If this is the will of the majority-and it is--it is up to those who have ia vored incorporation to smile and bow plearantly to the logic expressed by the ballot. Let the sidewalks rot away and the undrained gutters col feet their filth. for many are tired of coming through" Tie the children to the bedpost and let the town dogs rove at will, for they are of value. Let disease and pestilence collect in our midst, and Immortality stalk our dark, unlighted streets, for the major ity wish it.-Ruby Record Citizen.

STATEMENT MADE FOR
 CATCHING VOTES

It is admitted by Mir. Ray, (Wicker. sham's Fairbanks manager) howev- CT, that the delegate stated in letters sent to Fairbanks that he was Will son Progressive. This Is interpreted by Mir. Ray to mean that the delegate belived in President Wilson's policies reparding Alaska.
 This explanation does not improve the situation as far as Mir. Wickersham is concerned, and if the delegate did not mean that he was a Democrat when he said that he was a Wilson Progressive, it simply goes to show that he was making an ambiguous statement for the evident purpose of catching votes.
 Why did not Mir. Wickersham state in his letters to Fairbanks that he is a Wilson man only insofar as Alaskan policies are concerned? He should have known that the public would look upon him as a Democrat when he announced himself to be a Wilson progressive.

It is understood that his mine has pro duced more than one hundred thou sand dollars this season, while the Gold Bullion property has taken out better than one hundred and fifty thousand. The Independence were slow in getting started with their small mill but took out between fif- teen and twenty thousand. Their property showed up well late in the season and it is expected that their mill will be added to next year.

CREDIT TO WHOM
 CREDIT IS DUE
-

In a speech in Southeastern Alaska Delegate Wlckersham stated that ar. ter piloting the coal leasing bill through the lower house of Congress- he felt free to leave Washington.
 The Seward Tribune says: For he is the one man who is responsible for the successful conclusion of the Alaska railroad bill."
 No one, least of all the Times, de- sires to rob Delegate Wickersham or one iota of whatever credit may be coming to him from his efforts in be- half of Alaska. but it is such state ments as the above that disgust the thinking voter.
 Delegate Wickersham had nothing whatever to do with framing the coal leasing blll, which originated with Secretary Lane, Dr. Alfred H. Brooks and other members of the Geological survey, and was a purely administra' ton measure. If Delegate Wicker sham is responsible for any of the restrictions which were added in the House to the original bill, 1t were bet ter for Alaska if he had left Wash ington before the bill came up for con sideration.
 The Delegate has further aclnowl edged that the Alaska railroad bill was an administrative measure, one that would have passed had there been no Delegate from Alaska, and to cred it him with being "the one man re sponsible for the successful conclus ion of the railroad bill" is height of absurdity.-Cordova Times.

 In this instance at least he does not support the policies of the President he consistent with his record Con- gress
 The President in message Congress last December sad that Alaska should have full Territorial form of government
 Not only did Delegate Wickersham fail to introduce bill providing for full Territorial form of government for Alas compliance with the invitation of the President but da not mention the subject in his platform and he has taken posi- tion against it in his speeches.
 And further that he prevented from further cur tng the powers of the Alaska Legislature by Democratic Congressmen according to his own admissions
