JUST ANOTHER OLDTIMER.

An exchange tells about the death of another old timer in the hills. He was over 55 years of age. He went hunting for sheep, and his decom- posed remains were found months afterward by another hunting party.
 Thus, one by one, the pioneers of Alaska are passing away. There are still in the hills, in solitary cabins, many men over 60 and 70 years of age. Eating and sleeping alone, they pursue their solitary way, their thoughts their only companions for days at a time, and only coming out once in a while to lay in few sup plies, when they again disappear in the hills to resume their solitary wanderings. Where they came from and what anxious relatives await news of their welfare, no one knows. Perhaps they wish to die in the will derness which has mothered them for so many years. Now and then few of them make the "stake" which they have been working for all their lives and bid goodbye to their friends and quit Alaska flor the last time"
 But they all come back. Once the Alaska fever" injects it's virus in a mans blood, he can never stay away. He becomes an alien to the ways of he outside-the small, penurious manner of living-and can no longer fit in.' He longs for the lofty noun aims and the vast solitudes of the wilderness; the rushing cataract and he mighty avalanche, and in few aonths or years he drifts back to he scene of his former labors. The ardships which he endured in Alas "a, and which he cursed at the time, |eem a mere trifle in comparison S'ith the ills encountered on every and in the crowded places on the s,outside." Back he comes, and while X may seem a tragedy when his Reaching bones are found in the #.eat silent reaches of the North
 nd, perhaps it was his wish and 8@,sire that the wild things he loved
 ould sing his requiem. Who knows Slt that is his ultimate desire # have his bones mingle with the @.il he trod so long.
 z His task is done, and in days to tme, when Alaska becomes the great ate her mineral wealth is bound to
 cate, a statue of the oldtimer will
 md on every public square, mon
 lent to the courage and persever-
 ce of the old prospector.-Juneau

The Power of Money.

You tell me that money cannot buy the things most precious. Your con- monplace proves that you have never known the lack of it. When I think of all the sorrow and the barrenness that has been wrought in my life by the want of few more pounds per annum than I was able to earn, I stand aghast at moneys significance. What kindly joys I have lost, those simple forms of happiness to which every heart has claim, because of poverty. I think 1t would scarcely be an exaggeration to say that there is no moral good which has not to be paid for in coin of the realm.- George Gisssing.

Living in the Family.

Living in the family is fine art. It is a dexterity to be cultivated as one would habituate the hand and the intellect to the contrivance of some device or memorial form Of beauty. Many never come anywhere near proficiency in what seems so easily at:ainable an art. Robert Louis Stevenson knew that it was a hard thing, demanding faithful ap- plication on the part of the practi- tioner. Admirable and amiable as he was, it requires no very shrewd guesswork to reach the opinion that he was letter-perfect rather than deed-perfect in the part. And in mo- ments of engaging frankness he let us into the open secret that it is cas- fer to belong to the community, like an endowed public institution, than to be the property of clinging, inti- mate little group by whom who are named Husband" and father" They know you and love you-or dislike you-for what you exactly are; they traverse the face value to the real and spiritual appraisal; and you can not go on fooling your wife and chil- dren after they have found you out. The family structure rests on toler- ances. latltudes, concessions,-all of them things that proceed from the undying, underlying fact of love as the rivers of Paradise issued from the worlds exuberant garden. Where love is not, it is useless to try to have a satisfactory domestic arrangement. The strain and friction incident to every day of living are inevitably so severe that all the strength the pri- nal feeling of the heart can bring is needed to assure the lastingness of a sympathetic union, and stead fast and single purpose. There must be no ugly duckling, no evicted prod igal, no hundredth sheep left wan dering. The arm of love is longer in the outreach than astronomic dis tances. It can go beyond the stars, if need be, to reclaim an angel out of heaven.-Philadelphia Ledger.

PEDDLERS IN CORDOVA
 MUST PAY HEAVY TAX.

The Cordova city council recently passed an ordinance taxing itiner- ant peddlers and merchants $50 a day for license to do business with in the corporate limits. The ordi- nance enacted is similar in it's pro- visions to one formerly in the ordi- nance book but which was void as an illegal exercise of the city's pow CTS. The new ordinance is allowable under an act passed by the last legis- lature, which went into effect July 29, 1915.

The New England editor, who has been Investigating, reports that the high cost of living in New York has been exaggerated. He finds that it is easily possible to rent i've to ten room apartment in @ desirable build ing of the newer type in that city at the modest price of from $5000 to $1O,0O0 year. He does deprecate the extrayagant tendencies of some middle-class people who insist on taking full floor when the cost is something like $50,000 year.

Russian Port, Our Agent Says, Rivals
 New York.

~-o~N-S
 New York.
 WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.-The port of Archangel, Russia, from being little heard of, has become of most importance in the volume of its com merce. A report received by the De- partment of Commerce, by cable to- day from Henry D. Baker, the United States commercial attache at Petro- grad, who has just visited Archan- gel, says that the place now ranks with New York in the amount of bus mess it does.
 In the present open season more than one hundred warehouses have been built and thirty piers have been constructed. Four floating cranes of the largest size have been imported and the port is now handling the bulk of the cargoes arriving for the government with reasonable prompt ness. Private freight, however, still suffers.
 The Red Cross has an immense stock of supplies housed there which arrived early last fall, and it is inn possible now to say when any part of it will be moved to the interior. MT. Baker says that half of the American cotton accumulated at Archangel has been transported to the mills in the interior. Petrograd and Moscow are points most easily reached from Archangel with bulky freight, as it can proceed on barges on the River Dvina and connecting canals and rivers into the heart of the country.
 MT. Baker advises all American shippers to send agents to Archangel to take direct charge of transship- ing to the interior. Without such representatives there can be no cer- tainty whatever as to the time when cargoes will be forwarded.
