er. Pure water Is one among the
many advantages of country life over
city life. In the country tho water
supply is derived from wells, which
furnish an abundant supply Of cool
and pure water; it is pure because it
is under ground and is thereby free
from the germs that infest tic tanks
and standpipes Of a city
Then there is pure air which always
will be present in the country so long
as 1t continues to be as thinly settled
as at present, and as long rs trees and
the many plants continue to grow;
because plants give off the gases
which we inhalc. Pure air, as gen
eral rule, is not to be found in
large city. because of the dense pop
ulation, the sometimes bad drainage,

When one wishes to sec natural

it? He goes to the country One may

but that which he finds; there is all
artificial. therefore wAcn one wishes
to sec the natural he goes into the
country to look at the great noun
tains, the beautiful sloping wood
lands and small clear rills that wind
their way down the mountain sides
and through the meadowlands growing
as they go until they are large enough

In the country we have very few

one knows. is an advantage of the
country. If one habitually attends a
cheap theatcr it affects the mind in
much the same way as reading ten
cent novels affects it. Also, in the
country social companions are more
select. The country is not SO dcnscly
settled IS the city, therefore, because
there are fewer people together one
has Il better chance Of having more
select social companions, and should

JUNEAU GETS FIELD
 DIVISION JAN. 1

SEATTLE, Oct. 14.--It was announc- ed here today that the Alaska field di- vision of the general land office which has been maintained here will be re- moved to Juneau January 1, 1915.
 The change has been in contempla- ton for some time as a part of the plan necessary in carrying out the ad- ministration's development policy to- ward Alaska. Active steps toward se- curing quarters for the change, were made during the recent visit of A. Christensen, chief of the Alaska field division of the general land office, to Juneau while on his way south from the Westward. At that time negotia- tions resulted in securing suite of four offices on the top floor of the Goldstein block, adjoining the offices of the Territorial Treasurer, and near the Juneau land office.
 The Alaska field division of the gen eral land office will employ approxi- mately 10 to 12 men including the spe- cial agents of the general land office who work from this division head quarters.

BIG BATTLE IN EAST.

Washington, Oct. IA. = Col GoIejewski, military attache of the Russian embassy, received this evening the following cable gram from Petrograd:
 "A great battle has begun on a line extending from the coun- try around Warsaw, along the rivers VistuIa and San to Prze- mysl and farther south to the Dneister. The Russian forces engaged are the Galician army and the Russian Poland army, numbering nearly 100000 men,"
 This battle line is 100 miles east of Cracow, and would indi- cate that the Russian Galician army has withdrawn to that ex, tent. It also indicates that the Germans have again occupied a large part of Russian Poland from which they had been ex. pelled with great loss.

MORGAN AND GUGGS
 DISAGREE

WASHINGTON, Oct. 14.-It is re ported here that there is serious dis agreement between J. P. Morgan and his banking house on the one side and tho Guggenheims on the other over the management of the Alaska Syndicate and the Copper River and Northwestern railroad.

 Lane Says Can Do Nothing.
 Secretary of the Interior Lane said to newspapermen last night that he had told Morgan that he would be un- able to consider any proposition for the governments securing the Copper River ad Northwestern or any other railroad until after the repotr of the engineering board is received.
 It is said that Morgan did not make any detailed proposition to Lane.

DELEGATE TO BLAME
 FOR BILL

That Delegate James Wlekersham not only wrote the Johnson bill, sus, pending the requirement that assess. ment work be performed on unpatent. ed mining claims In Alaska, but that he Is jointly responsible with Repre- sentative Johnson for It's introduction and promotion Is clearly indicated In a recent letter written by Albert John. son.
 The letter was written at Washing. ton under date of October 2, address ed to John w. Troy, Juneau, Alaska, and says:
 "Thanks for telegram. Bill was written by Judge WIckersham, and
 WE undertook what was best for all concerned. Land office has
 made adverse report, based on re.
 ports from Alaska land offices and
 Governor"
 "clsmor has arisen for the sus-
 pension of assessment work in the
 United States, which Is likely to
 occur"
 The telegram referred to was one informing Mr. Johnson of the where abouts of Delegate WIckersham.
 The Johnson bill Is one against which storm of protest went out from all sections of Alaska.
 This letter from Representative Johnson confirms cablegram reeeIv- ed iron, him, dated at Washington, October i, and received by John W.. Troy, on that date, which said:
 "Wiekersham worte bill In good faith Where can l reach him by wire Answer collect"
 May Suspend All Assessment Work. A significant suggestion in the let ter is that a bill might be passed by Congress suspending the assessment work requirement. in the whole coun. try.
