A well-known Bangor man was
somewhat startled and not a little in
clined to wrath Thursday morning
when he was aroused from his slum-
bers by an instant telephone call, es-
pecially when he discovered that the
purpose of the ill-timed call was a So
fictitious inquiry as to whether or not
he had committed suicide during the
night. Like Mark Twain, he informed
his questioner that the reports of his
death were greatly exaggerated, or
words to that effect in his own Ian
guage.
When Lewiston man went home
the other night and found his choic-
est cucumber bed thoroughly dug up
he cursed the dogs. says the Lewiston
Journal. Not his dog, known as Rip
per, because said dog has the reputa-
ton Of being we'll behaved decorous
pup. His wife suggested that it
might possibly have been done by
Ripper. George said no such thing;
Ripper'd not do anything like that.
Wife, to, was inclined to feel the same
way. because she had taken much
pains in bringing Ripper up. They
watched the garden sharp for the
next few days. Nothing doing. Just
about the time the incident had been
forgotten and the watch relaxed,

BUILDING B ] ] M NOW LIN AT
 ANCHORAGE

ANCHORAGE, Sept. 9-The town of Anchorage has, at the end of the seventh week following construction of the first building on the new town site, a building record probably un- equaled by any. municipality in the United States count of business structures made today shows a total of 145, of which 103 are substantial wooden buildings and 43 are canvas covered frames or tents which will soon be replaced by the class first named. Of this total, 92 are on Fourth ave, the main business thoroughfare; 25 are on Fifth ave. and the remainder on other avenues and intersecting streets. Eleven of them are two stories in height. Among the more substantial and larger of these is the Empress block at Fourth and II, erected by Capt. Austen Lathrop, formerly of Cordova, and containing five commodious store rooms. The others were glad to aid him in finish ing when he commenced construction of roadway from the waterfront on Ship creek up the hill on an easy grade reaching the business section IT hlnply .s ing. This roadway is the main artery of travel to and from the dock. being preferred to c street, which was open by the Commission, because of the easier grade. A branch of this road. way is now being constructed by the Commission and reaches the business section on E street.
 A majority of the more substantial buildings are west of the blocks re- served for municipal and federal pur- poses, and considerable rivalry exists between property owners east and west of that point.
 A Sourdough from Hope recently asked Commissioner Mears why, in giving men employment here, Alas kans were discriminated against and favors were shown a1iens-Canadian and "bohunks." The pertinent part Of the answer was in subtance:
The Cordova daily times., 1915-09-14

Were going to show the Sourdoughs that we can build this road without their assistance"
 Here's bit of news which ran the gauntlet of the censor and which will be appreciated by the Sourdoughs aforesaid. When the steamship Sin aloia arrived with machinery and sup plies from the Panama Canal, she was boarded by Mears and the captain was informed that he would have to work his men overtime, all night in order that the vessel might be unloaded within the demurrage limit of time. The exact words of Captains Sannas reply were not recorded by witnesses; but that reply was in tabloid form and so hot that the atmosphere there abouts smoked. It was something like this: "Blankety blank you. I am boss on board this vessel. We work eight hours and you've just 15 min utes to get off this ship"
 The departure of the Commissioner was very informal, was within five minutes and wasn't even preceded by the military salute. Heretofore men engaged in longshore work under direction of the Commissioner have been compelled to work as much 12 to IS hours in one shift, regardless of the federal regulation limiting the hours of labor on government work to eight hours. If there was scar city of men here there might be an excuse for violating the law, but there are at least three men for every job, and if the Commissioner really wished to save the government that $350 a day demurrage he might have provid- ed for three s-hour shifts day.
 That the low schedule of wages es- tablished by the Commission is to be made permanent here is indicated by contracts which successful bidders for street and other municipal work are signing and which contain these words: "The rates paid these labor CTS must be in accordance with stand ard schedule of wages adopted by the Commission" which are 371b cents an hour for common labor, as against 50 cents paid by private individuals and firms, and other labor in propor- tion.

This power has no legal authority,

heart neither allegiance nor obedi-
enCe. Tn eonly legal authority In
Belgium Is that appertaining TO our

expected to deliver Il sermon in the
cathedral at Antwerp last Sunday, but
failed to appear and Father Rutten
addressing the congregation, said:

COTTON

NEW YORK, Jan 6.--There was an active
selling movement In the cotton market here
today and prices broke sharply with the
close barely steady at net decline OF Q
to Is points. Part Of the selling seemed
to come from local spot people or southern
shippers.
TIE market opened steady at decline of
/ to points in sympathy with disappointing
cables Near months were relatively easy
and seemed to De influenced by the circu.
lation OF a few new style January notices,
but the strong showing OF the southern spot
markets reported late yesterday encouraged
a renewal Of yesterdays late buying move
ment here and the market soon turned firm
with the active months selling some 3 to 7
points net higher during the late forenoon.
Some OF the later deliveries made new high
ground for the movement on this advance
with December contracts selling through the
0 cent level but offerings became very heavy
later in the day and the appearance Of
southern selling orders In strong volume
seemed TO be taken as an indication OF In.
creased offering in the interior.

rally, seemed to be liquidatng cotton on

being present. In addition to enjoy
ing a splendid lunch, the members
transacted much business, adopted q
constitution, heard two good talks
from the guests and appointed COM
mittee to arrange a delegation to at
tend The western conference of Ro-
tary clubs to be held next week at
Wichita.
Judge Alden, who punctuated his
talk with several well told stories,
was loud I'm his praise Of the spirit
Of the west as eXemplified by the Ro-
tary members OF Tulsa. AS u lecturer
he said he came to the west from
New England to instruct, but instead
was being instructed.
Mr.. Dawson gave a splendid talk
on the ideals and purposes Of a Ro-
tary club and outlined organization
work being appointed by the inter
national organization TO assist in the
local club. Part Of his talk which
follows illustrates clearly the aims
and purposes Of a Rotary club
81 want to say "a word regarding
the true functions OF the Rotary club
one Of the present weaknesses OF the
international association, which we
are trying hard to overcome, lies in
the fact that the practices Of differ
Cnt clubs are not altogether tho same.
We find a few which are inclined to
usurr the functions Of Commercial
clubs and like bodies, but | feel safe
in saying that the best and most typi-
cal Rotary clubs I'm this country recog-
niZe that they are chiefly educational
"As far as civic matters are con-
cerned we should famlliarize our
selves with every movement which
looks to the betterment Of the com
munity we should learn all we can
about them and then disseminate this
knowledge among the non-members.
IL the movement seems TO promise
good we should lend our influence to-
the organization which is trying to
vitalize It.
Bury Your Troubles.
"All your grouches, all politics and
religions as such. should be checked
at the door before you come to mn'
cheon. Bring your smiles, your am
bitons and your high ideals with you
and share them with your fellows.
study each other, learn the aims
and efforts and handicaps and meth
ods OF other members and strive 10
help them and others with whom YOU
come IN contact to the betterment Of
society at large. Get acquainted with
your neighbOr-you might like him
And above all things be prompt;
prompt In attendance; prompt ia
payment Of your dues; prompt I'm full
filling your obligations; prompt in
giving OF yourself when called upon
to do So Every moment another man
must wait on you rs a moment stolen
out OF his life: promptness is but
common hOuGsty-get the habit.
