Pie, the National Dish.

Three years ago pie-eating con-
test was held for the championship
of New Jersey, relates the London
Chronicle. In the United States pie
is national dish, and the variety
with which the competitors had to
struggle consisted of a layer Of
pastry a quarter Of an inch thick.

weight being half a pound. Accord
ing to the report Of a local journal.
"amid enthusiasm, thirty-five young
men, trained to the minute, entered
the contest for the championship.
The state record of twenty-six pies in
half an hour fell during the battle.
Walter Tappin of Tilsomfield, N J..
was the winner. He managed to put
himself on the outside of twenty
seven pies in the allotted time. For
this he received the championship
belt" It should have been an elastic
one.

she went on icily. "Goodby"

HAWAIIAN TENDER
 TRANSFERRED ID ALASKA

The lighthouse tender Kukui is to be transferred to Alaskan waters, says a Hawaiian paper. The Col umbine, much smaller and slower vessel than the Kukui, is ordered to Hawaiia. This transfer does not meet with local favor, owing to the fact that the Kukui was specially built for Hawaiian service, being given a Ha- Maiian name with the idea that Hon. olulu was to be her home port. Capt. F. T. Warriner, of the Kukui, is un- der orders to sail direct for Ketchi- kan, Alaska. Not only to the com mercal but also to the military and naval plans of Oahu is the transfer of the Kukui a serious loss, a fact not generally known being that the Kukui is equipped for the laying and removing of submarine mines.

 AT BOTH ENDS OF LINE

Falcon Joslin in writing to Fair. banks from Washington, D. C., says that he has been assured by one of the members of the Alaska Engineer ing commission that every effort will be made by the commission to get the government to start construction of the railroad from both ends at the same time
 MT. Joslin's letter was decidedly optimistic about the railroad and it was evident that he believes that work will start from the Fairbanks end of the line next year.
 Financial conditions of the coun- try improving. Mir. Joslin stated since the new federal reserve banks have been opened. This, however. is about the same assurance that has been received from the Outside in telegraphic reports of late.

the announcement that John Claflin

But for the assistance promised by
other stores and by charity workers

Tho adherence to the principles of neu.
