LIeHT MARRIAoE BONDS

Henry Mel who attained fame as "The Father of Mothers Pensions" has been elected justice of the peace in Oak Park Ill., and being called on to perform a marriage ceremony, Squire Mel discovers to his consternaton that men and women all over this fatr land being tied together by niquitous bond that holds them "untl death do them part"
 This will never do! "It is shocking" says Squire Mel, "to think that a and woman living together bound each other after love and affection have fled He is convinced that tine death" to in the ritual should be interpreted the death of love- of the body. And he announces that he win per form more wedding ceremonies unless the bride and groom pledge themselves only to live together "so long as love and affection shall last"
 That may be all right as a bit of transcendental philosophy. But practical living arrangement for ordinary human beings 1t doesn't work There are enough men now deserting their wives for selfish whims without their being encouraged in the idea that desertiou divorce is credtabe thing.
 this theory were put into general practice there would be a rapid increase in the number of mothers asking for Mr. Niers justly celebrated pensions" to support them and their children

CONCERNING PROSPERITY.

Whether times bad, and if so what the reason is are problems whose seems to be determined largely by ones political affiliations It is therefore in- terestne to obtain the view of an outsider Sir George Pash editor of the London statist and an eonomst of broad reputation has this to say about present con dtons in America:
 What is hapening is not peculiar to the United States but incidental the business world generally We calculated upon this reaction for 1915 but has come earlier and believe an improvement is near As to the Cnted States the shortage of the corn crop last year is of the contributing causes more immedi. ate cause is the delay in the decision of the Interstate Commerce Commission. If the commission grants the Increased rates business will show distinct revival es pecjal'y with the prospect of good crops
 There is fundamental reason for depression The American people are enjoying a great income. which nc one doubts will show enormous expansion as time goes The main cause of the existing situation is that continental and American investors have lost their nerve" f7r--g-1yz7g-1s

SHAMROCK " SAILS
 FOR THIS COUNTRY UNDER HER OWN SAILS

PORTSMOUTH, Eng. July 25.- Shamrock ", Sir Thomas Liptons challenger for the America's Cup, un- der convoy of the steam yacht Erin sailed this afternoon for Falmouth whence she will start for the United States.
 The challenger painted pea green, with her stumpy rig temporary high rails for the protection of her crew and lifeboats on her decks, presented by no means the smart appearance she displayed while racing She looked shipshape, however.
 lt had been intended to sail the Shamrock past the royal yacht for the inspection of his majesty before her departure but a change in tho programme was brought about by the

hearty send-off by the warships and the excursion steamers and yachts, which wished her good luck by sound ing their sirens, while many of the craft hoisted Shamrock flags at their masthead
 A considerable amount of the ehal. lenger's racing gear was taken on board the Erin, while the rest was | sent to America on a lines The Shamrock " has been rigged as a ketch for her voyage across the Atlantic, and win carry only half of her racing crew of thirty men. Charles E Nicholson, the designer: William | P Burton, who is to be the racing skipper, and Captain Turner, who will act as skipper during the voyage will be on board the yacht. The remain Thomas's steam yacht Erin, which | will act as convoy, and will in case of necessity tow the Shamrock ".
 Among Sir Thomas Liptons guests on the Erin were Colonel Neill and | the Earl of Hardwicke The latter will transfer to the Shamrock at the | @AAAANn anu WAA h AAAa RdanuHE do NAA able seaman for the rest of the voy- | age. He said he hoped to be given a permanent job as a member of the Shamrock's racing crew. The Earl of Hardwicke has led an adventurous life as a cowboy in Texas and as miner in Montana
 The people of Gosport presented the | Challenger with a model of a parrot as a mascot, and this will be perched on the bowsprit while the yacht is . crossing the ocean.
 Voyage A Problem
 The problem of getting the Sham. rock " across the Atlantic under her own sail is almost as great as that of racing her. and the ships builders and crew have been busy with prep arations since the last trial spin. The single mast, which looks so large by contrast with the small huil has been shortened by the removal Of the top mast, and a second small mast erected far aft to carry small mizzen sail.
 The two yachts will go a southerly ] course, and will stop for rest and sup, l plies at the Azores. There the com plement of men for the Shamrock will l be shifted. The men who take her to the Azores will change places with ! those on the Erin.

 mark on each, and that in every instance after his name. The balance o. the ballots were badly scratched with the ex- eeption of 54 straight tickets for the Lilly Whites" MaSy had but three of four names voted for, while one man. evl- dently a believer in doing things well voted for twelve names, while another voter marked eight. Both these bal lots of course were thrown out. As far as one could judge from the writing on the ballots. the women voted more intelligsntly than many men, for they mark ed their ticnetS ill the square following the names. while many of the mems ballots were marked in front of the name. or right up close to the name. and in several instances. clear over on the other side of the ticket

 ELECTED MAYOR

The old order stepped down and outlast night at the Coun- cil Chambers and the new took ltS place. Six members of the old Council were present. cleaned up their business. list ened to the remarks of the re- tlring mayor, NJ. J. Heneghan, who thanked them for their talthfulness and punctuality III attending the meetings of the council, and the harmony that had prevailed thereat. Councilman pittenger on be- half of the Council responded to the Mayors remarks. stat ling that the meetirps of the Council had been harmonious because every individual com- prislng it had worked for the general interests of the town, and expressed the hope that the condition would exist in the incoming Council. One thing should be borne in mind and remedied if possible he said, and that is that the Coun- cil is compelled to work with out charter OF any rule to go by. The law provides for some things but is wholly lacking in others, and the result is the council has to do the best they can as they see it, and take their chances on satisfying their constituents.
 Then, on motion of Schlothan and Pittinger, the old council adjourned, sine die.
 The new council was then sworn in by City Magistrate Plumley, and signed the oath of office. Temporary organ- iZatiOn was then effected by electing F. E. Ryus temporary chairman and Judge plumley temporary secretary.
 Nominations for Mayor were then made by ballot and Harris received three votes, Ryus two and Patching and paup one each. On motion the two lower names were stricken out, and the council then proceeded to vote on the election of the mayor, with the result that ITar- 1is received four, to three for Ryus and on motion of Ryus, was declared unanimously c- ected President of the Council and eX-Officio Mayor.
 After suitable remarks by the Mayor it was decided that tIe appointment of the committees and the naming of the town of- ficials be postponed until next Wednesday evening, after which the council adjourned.

Routes Considered

Six routes are being cOnsid cred.
 From Portage Canal through the Matanuska coal fields to Fairbanks. which is fifty-three miles shorter than any other route to the interior waterway. and has the advantage of pos Sessins $ very sligh. grade. Portage Canal was surveyed by Captaiut Rude of the roast and geodetie survey with the steam snip Taku last summer. and it is said to be a splendid harhor. perfectly protected and free of ice. This route was discover ed after the Alaska railroad commission had finished its work. On this ronte it will be necessary to build a two mile tunnel.
 The second route being con- sidered runs from Seward to knik Arm and thence through the Matenuska coal fields to Fairbanks. The distance < fiftv-three miles greater to the coal fields than the Portage Canal route and the grades are heavier.
 The third route is from Chit ina. at Nile i3l on the Copper River and Northwestern Rail- road, to Fairbanks with 6 spur from the same railroad at Nile 9 to the Boring River coal fiedl>. Since the Boring River coal was recently declared to be unavailable for naval purposes t Is likely that the plan to build the spur to this field will be abandoned by the government at least until after another test Of the coal has been made.
 The fourth route runs from Valdez. through the Keystone Canyon, following the line of the wagon road built by the AL aska Road Commission. This route would make the distance from the coast 10 the coal field greater than by either Seward or Portage Bay. Valdez waS selected as a terminal for the Guggenheim road to Ch.tins and kennieott. but Was aban- doned when what was believed to be q better route from Cor dosa was found.
 The fifth route has Haines N sslon. near skagwqr for ifs terminal. This fe would o7en I vast amount Of territory. but part Of the road would have to be built in Canadian terri tory.
 The sixth route i~ from Shin Creek On Cooks Inlet fo inc Matanuska field and thence to Fairbanks. Thi, is by far short er than any other route. but i has not been seriously consid- cred because of the fact that Cooks Inlet is filled with ice for i portion Of the year and is hardly na,igable for big ships because Of the huge tide that rushes through it and makes navigation an extremely risky proposition.
