ARE WE EASY MARKS?

Cordova Times: That the other cities of Alaska are pestered by the f,y-by-night gentlemen who vIs- it our shores with travelling bag and an attractive selling proposi- tiou IS not news to us. When we don't get caught ourselves, it amusss u to read of the tribulattons of the other fellCw, who bought a check protecting device, a dietion- ary. etc. only to find after paying something down, that the agent was fraud. The man with the $S.5u maps still makes some of our lead ing citizens squirm when they chiuE of him. Everybody in Cor dova should remember not to trade with individuals of this ilk until they have been stamped with the approval of the chamber of com merce. The KetchIkan aggressive says a kinder word for the average Alaskan than We would have ill the premises. We thought we were rather easy marks" but in the fol- lowing outburst the Progressive says We are not. and as some Of the good people of CordOya will feel G~uered under the circum- stau2.s, We hereby submit The article:
 'Fo: the last several years all ocrasiCual smart aleck' has dropped in on us, presumably talk ing Us for easy marks, and We re uu2taudy admit that some of us have fallen at some time or oth- CT to their alluring promises.

met hlm to draw hlm to another pro- posal by those winning ways she un' derstOod how to apply.
 She did not see Henry for several days, then she was greatly shocked to hear that he had gone to another city to engage In business and make 1t his home. Why she did not write him to tell him that her refusal of him was only temporary does not appear. Per haps 1t was for the same reason that the myriads of other temporary re- fuSals are not recalled. A woman must walt for a first proposal, and it Is equal. ly obligatory for him to wait for a second.
 And now Lucia on the anniversary of her refusal-the date was as well fixed In her mind as her birthday-was sitting on the porch wonderiug-as she had wondered constantly since her lOv- CTS departure-what could have made him so stupid. And yet had he seen through her game what would have been the pleasure in her playing 1t? Ii had not occurred to her that she had better have refrained from the fun and acted on the principle that Il blrl in the hand Is worth two in the bush.
 Who is that tall figure coming up the road? There Is something familiar In the walk, something in the outline. something intangible, indescribable about the whole. Luella's heart stood still. Yes, 1t Is Henry. He Is heavier than he was, bis step Is a trIHe less quick than It used to be, but 1t is Henry, the man she refused five years ago. to her regret ever since.
 Was he coming to renew his prOpO- sal?
 Lucia had had fits of anger against her lover for being so stupid. Now. in- stead of a hope springinc in her heart that he was coming to tell her that he could not live without her. with a con seQucnt throwing herself into his arms, she was seized with q desire to punish him. For what? For having taken her refusal seriously.
 Henry came on. Lucia, pretending she did not see him, looked Tp at the sky. He stopped before the house, then mounted the steps. Lucia fore ed q smile. He looked as gloomy as the day he had left her.
 "Why, MT. MacMillanw she exclaim- ed. What a long time since I have seen youw
 i've not been in this town since I saw you last" he said.
 Game back to see your mother, suppose%
 "Yes; to see my mother, but to see you, too. I've passed an unsatisfed five years since left here. I've come back to try to persuade you to recall what you said to me just before I left you"

GREAT HARVEST OF BERRIES

Salmon berries, blue berries and r I huckle berries are now ripe, and the yield is said to be unusual Iy large. Old, young and middle aged of Sitka can be seen these days strOlling out from town in t! a direction of the best berry ratches, and the stained lips Of even the fairest damsels bctray the visits to the bIueberry bushes.
 The luscious strawberries at the experimental station are also ripen- ing somewhat early this year. The tourists as well as the towns peO- pie have shown their weakness for these sweets the past two weeks. It is worthy of note that these berries are a cross between the local wild strawberry and the cultivated berry, -Sitka Verstovian.

The Day When Weapons of War Will

 Be Regarded as Curiosities.
 A day comes when you, France-you, Russia-you, Italy-you, England-you' Germany-all you nations of the conti- nent shall without losing your distinc- tive qualities and your glorious indi- vIduallty blend in a higher unity and form a European fraternity, as Nor mandy, Brittany, Burgundy, Lorraine Alsace, all the French provinces blended into France. A day will come when war shall seem as impossible be- tween Paris and London, between Pe- tersburg and Berlin, as between Rouen and Amiens, as between Boston and Philadelphia.
 A day will come when bullets and bombs shall be replaced by ballots, by the universal suffrage of the people, by the sacred arbitrament of great soV- ereign senate, which shall be to Europe what the parliament is to England, the diet to Germany, the legislative assem- bly to France. A day will come when a cannon shall be exhibited In our mu- seums as an instrument of torture is now and men shall marvel that such things could be.
 A day will come when We shall see those two immense groups, the United States of America and the United States of Europe, in face of each other extending hand to hand over the ocean, exchanging their products, their commerce, their industry, their art; their genius clearing the earth, coloniz- ing deserts and ameliorating creation.
 To you l appeal, French, English Germans, Russians, Slavs, Europeans, Americans, what have we to do to has ten the coming of the great day?

King George II. once wished to add the Green park, in London, to his pal ace grounds, whether the people liked it or not. He inquired of bis minister as to the cost.
 His lordship, mindful of the general discontent then prevalent answered.: 'The cost, sir? Oh, 1t would be mat ter of three crowns"
 The king took the hint. The people kept their park and the sovereign his triple throne.

$50 ZOO, 600 GREATER.
(By Associated Press.l

Austin. Tex?s. Oct. 21.-Failurc of ap-
proximately 80 county tax assessors to file
with the comptroller's department their
1915 tax rolls, has greatly retarded the
compilation of the total assessed value of
property in Texas. but from all indications
the increase in the states wealth will not
exceed $50. 900 900 over the previous year.
While material increases are shown in the
counties having larger cities, there is a
corresponding decrease in the counties
where land is the principal wealth Of the
people. The comptroller may have to re-
sort to drastic measures To require those
delinquent assessors to send in their rolls,
30 that the totals may be a>certained. This
data i also needed for inclusion into the
annual report Of that department.

steamship lines and the inter-urban
trolley connections, all of which as
