THE EUGENIC CHILD

A most engenic baby came
To be his parents blessing,
He took prize as soon as born,
Projections all possessing.
He grew 10 boyhood's happy age,
All cups and ribbons taking,
With not one virtue, great or small
Omitted in his making
And yet his parents took no pride,
But rather were they nettled:
At thought of him a heavy gloom
Upon his father settled,
And when she viewed his fawless
whole
A crouch obsessed his mother:
He did not have a single fault
To blame upon each other

York Times.

Should Sunday Freedom Be Prohibited? English Clergyman Expresses Opinion

 QUESTIONS ASKED.
 "I would ask my good friends these simple questions:
 T. Do they seriously believe that to us English people alone has been revealed the whole truth in this mat ter, and that all other Christians in the world are hopelessly in error?
 ''2. Do they think it credible that Scotsman. fifteen centuries at least after Christ, should discover a com mandment of which no other Chris tain teacher ever dreamed?
 ''3. Are they quite prepared to say that their way is the only possible one. and thereby condemn all the saints and martyrs who built up the Church and handed down to us the faith in which We stand
 The committee on Sabbath Observ- ances of the Presbyterian church have distinctly another ideal as Is shown by the report brought before the General Assembly at Chicago. With a request that all employers grant the Saturday half-holiday. they 1ro t1o n1o Gel bath observance. The text of their recommendation appears thus in the New York Times:
 THE OTHER VIEW.
 That the General Assembly re- iterates it's strong and emphatic dis approval of all secular uses of the Sabbath day. all games and sport in civic. as also in the army and navy and all unnecessary travelling and all excursions, and urges upon all employers of labor and captains of industry to recognize the need of the | laboring man for his weekly rest day. and thereby insure his greater efficiency and happiness, and the greater prosperity of both capital and labor
 That we most respectfully call attention of all public officials to the potent influence of their position on all moral questions, and the necessity of greater care on their part. that they may strengthen, rath- CT than weaken, by their influence, public and private observance of the Lords day.
 That all families be urged not to buy anything on the Sabbath. to plan for their servants on the Sab bath and to help them fnlfil their religious duties, and pay laoorers 90 trey may have Saturday attt rnoo1 to make provision for the Sabbath
 That the General Assembly reiter- ates it's emphatic condemnation of the Sunday newspaper and urges the members of the Presbyterian church to refuse to subscribe for it or read it or advertise in it. That the faculties of colleges and seminaries, if the way be clear, be requested to omit recitations | Monday mornings, so as to leave the Sabbath free from the necessity of students preparing their lessons on that day.
 That Sabbath Observance con- mittee be organized in each synod and presbytery"

Nelchina Is Now
 Almost Deserted

KNIK, Oct "A. J. Brown, who packed mail and freight from Copper Center to the Nelchina camp last winter arrived in Knik today-one of the last to leave the camp. He re- ports the camp practically deserted, except a few men on Albert creek.
 He states that the Bergland party located some low grade pay, about ? to 3 cents to the pan on Gold creek, at the head of the Oshitna river. Also that a number of men stampede to Goose creek, a tributary of the Susitna river.
 A prospector returned to the Nell china reporting that he found the bones of a prospector lying close to his camp at the mouth of that creek. Commissioner Shaw, he re- ports, investigated the matter and took with him diary found upon the body when he left for Valdez a couple of weeks ago.
 The prospector brought with him about 50 cents in gold which he banned on Goose creek, and several of the Nelchina boys followed him back to Goose creek to see if they could locate pay. All prospecting has quit on Joko creeks and the Ty- one Four men will. however, stay in this winter to work on a hole put down 1s0 feet last year without finding bedrock on Crooked creek.

Wicker sham explained the situation in Washington in regard to Alaskan affairs. when interviewed by The Citizen. He believes that congress will do much more for the Territory in the near future. Among other things he thinks the government will provide the Territory with a university. agricultural college and school of mines, to be located near Fairbanks. on the site of the govern mcnt experimental station.

 Since returning to Fairbanks Mir. Wickersham's attention has been called to the inability of a poor man to meet all the requirements of the homestead law in Alaska. The amount of land to be placed under cultivation each year until the final proof is made is more than a man. who must earn a living while he is improving his place, can per form. Thus it is MT.

 ALASKANS TOLD

SEATTLE, Oct. T. - Friends of Mrs. Wm. A. Shinkle, wife of the former Fairbanks laundryman. will be interested in the following item which appeared in this mornings paper:
 "A footpad boarded an automobile driven by Mrs. w. A. Shinkle, of 7106 Thirty-fifth avenue southwest, yesterday afternoon while on First avenue south, near Jackson street, and obtained a handbag containing $50 in cash, gold nugget pin and an eardrop, an heirloom. Mrs. Shinkle told the man to get off her machine when he boarded it. but he paid no heed to her command. and remained on the running board until she turned west on Jackson street and came to a stop near Occidental avenue. At that point, as Mrs, Shinkle stepped from her car. the thief snatched her handbag"

the amount of improvements neCes- sary to prove up on homesteads here. COLLEGE EXPECTED.
 The bill that Mir. Wickersham in troduced last spring providing for the establishment of university. agricultural college and school of mines near Fairbanks. will probably come up for a vote sometime during the closing session of congress.
 Since submitting this bill, Mir Wickersham has found that there is a sentiment against combining the university and agricultural college. for in the states where that has been done the best results have not been obtained Thus the secretary of interior in endorsing Mir. Wicker sham's bill for the school. endorsed only the agricultural college and school of mines. but did not include the university.
 The agricultural college covers much the same studies as those car ried on at tfe university. though the courses in Latin and Greek are shorter The agricultural colleges also provide practical training, in addition to the literary and scientific studies. Thus an agricultural col lege here will answer all the re- Quirements of the university, with the exception of the prolonged courses in ancient and modern Ian guages.
 SCHOOL FUND ASSURED.
 One reason, too, why it Is desired to get the agricultural college Tn preference to the university. is the fact that the government gives a fund of S5O,OOO year to each agr;- cultural college for maintenance. Of course the older and well establish ed agricultural colleges get several times that amount. but the s50,0OO expended on a higher institution oi learning at Fairbanks would mee; all requirements for an indefinite time. or until the population is ma terially increased.
 Mir Wickersham is confident that his bill for the school will be ap- proved. at least to the extent of granting an agricultural college and school of mines. which would be in the same building.
 Concerning the future of Alaska Mir. Wickersham is very much er unused and he thinks that the Territory is now at the beginning of it's real development.
