In the fall Of 1913 Kleist was a
gardener on the estate next to that of

summer with her parents and heard of
Kleist from her maid. Through the maid

the young lady borrowed many Of her

gave them outright TO the young
gardener. The night before he leGt
MarGuette for Cleveland she gave him
Victrola concert and began to speak OF
marrying him.
Il told her." said the future husband"
that I should have to get good position
before ! could support her and she told
me she had perfect confidence in me.
Mrs. Kleist, her husband says, made
all the advances to him. He loved her
only when she loved him. She was the
first to talk about marriage and she was
the one who proposed. She told him
that she loved him long before he had
the courage to love her.
He gave her a present of roses once
and of marshmallows once. just once.
The marshmallow present was made
when they went to the beach party and
he didn't even think of tcasting them
for her until her maid suggested 1t.
How was it. everybody asked, espe-
cially after the love letters had been
read, that Miss Breitung was so whirled
away by love for the gardener? How did
he do it? How did he make her fall in
love with him?
Kleist's answer was beautifully simple,
Child-like and refreshing.
We we're with each other all the
time he said When a man goes with

Miss Breitung taught the gardener all

than the one request to make this diff

when he did rise it was only as far as his
lovers cheek.
"She fell in love with me and I don't
know why" said Kleist. That's all
there is to it. But know o,s thing

Off to New Mexico Kleist went Il
seemed like a fine chance for any will
ing young man. But when he got there
he discovered that he had been given a
Greek gift. The mine was ninety miles
from the nearest railroad.
He was told that the position of fore-
man would be open for him but when ne
got there he was made a general rou-t-
about. He had to carry pals of fusnd
dynamite along a slippery path to the
mines. He was put to work in one Vt

AN UNAPPRECIATED SONG.

If Kaiser Wilhelm doesn't like a song that somebody has written about him, all he has to do is to say so, and it dies quick, painless death. The author may or may not go to jail. In England, all King George has to do in similar cases it to but frown slightly and the piece is automatically barred from publication or public rendition and the author is ostracis- ed by all right minded Britons.
 Just now President Wilson is per turbed by the perpetration of a pair of New York song writers, who, learning that his fiancee is descend ed from Pocahontas, dashed off lay celebrating the love of the white chief for his Indian princess. The guilty authors sent their composition to the White House and can't under stand the Presidents reply that the song pains him and he will be oblig- ed if it is suppressed. They think he Is wrong about it and refuse to suppress it. And the President is helpless. It is one of the penalties a Democrat has to pay for democra- cy.-Tacoma l.4uune.

IRRESPONSIBLE PAPERS.

The Seward Gateway fittingly ar raigns those papers which have beer recently started for the embarrass- ment of the railway commission at Anchorage, and says that they can do no good and will result in much harm to the communities in which they are located: The Getaways ar- ticle hits the nail squarely on the head, and should be endorsed by ev- cry thinking man in the Territory of Alaska. When a publication is fer ninst" the government, the church, the sanctity of the home, the virtue of women, and everything and every body who does not chime in with it's discord, 1t is bound to have detri- mental effect upon the growth of a community. A town is often unjustly judged by its publications, and par ties outside reading the effusions of some of our mongrel papers must believe that we are a bunch of an- archists, instead of peaceful, law abiding citizens.

INCREASE EFFICIENCY.

Valdez has a splendid volunteer fire department, with several capable firemen, but the city handicaps the service by not appropriating moneys for more modern machinery and equipment with which to handle in" cipient blazes, which are often too small to pay for working the large steamer, and which if quickly extin- guished would cause little damage.
 In nearly every small village in the states and in all the large cities, a large chemical extinguisher is mount ed upon the chassis of a Ford car, and used by the chief and assistant to get to the scene of the confiagra- tion quickly. Eighty per cent of the fires are thus put out before they es- sume dangerous proportions. and in every case the damage to furniture or goods is very small; this not being the case where water is played upon the blaze.
 Fire Chief Ethical has long advo- cated the purchase of such equip ment, but so far has been unable to get the city fathers to see the great usefulness of the apparatus. He has been forced to hold balls and other money-making amusements for the purpose of raising money which should have cheerfully been appro- priated upon his request. Such ap- paratus would lower the excessive cost of insurance and save hundreds of dollars to the city, and might, pos sibly check another serious fire, such as we had this year in our city.
 There is little use of putting capa- ble, experienced men in the firehall, and then not following their advice. One fire would more than pay the cost of such appliances, and the ad- ded security would be worth all it cost. By improving our fire fighting equipment our city would undoubted- ly get cheaper rates of insurance.
 The money recently expended on senseless lawsuits would have pur- chased this apparatus, and still left a surplus. There is no use collecting taxes and forcing an excessive levy upon our people if the money is to be spent foolishly.
 If we can't have peace among the factions in our city, at least let us work to the common end of upbuild- ing the city and perfecting those nu- merous advantages we have. No man should be so indifferent to the city's welfare as to compel tho firemeu to put up with inefficient apparatus, and 1t should be the duty of every tax payer to insist that the past exorbi- tant levy be spent where it will do the taxpayers some good.

NO CHANGE FOR STATEHOOD.

After perusing Secretary Lanes announced intentions as to the gov ernment of Alaska, published in late dispatches, it looks as if the cherish ed plan to make Alaska a state will not materialize for some time to come. The Secretary announced that he would recommend that the Government retain control of Alaska for many years yet, as her admittance to statehood would cause her to be- come the prey of corporations and
 the monied interests. Just how the Territory is expected to develop with out the help of corporations and mon jed interests deponent sayeth not, but if any generation will need Alaska more than her pioneers do, the Sec
 retary is welcome to keep her in cold
 storage for their uses. The govern ment is doing great deal for Alas

When we hear a man with a con- stitution like a horse whining that somebody is trying to starve him to death, it makes us chortle at his claims of being pioneer. What pio- neer would ever starve to death in this land of plenty?. Why even a Si- wash can make living in Alaska. A man who would sit down and su- pinely allow some one to starve him to death in Valdez is not a pioneer he's not even "near" pioneer, as a true Son of the North would not all low any obstancle to overcome his manhood.

The Secretary's railroad |plans will undoubtedly release an enormous sum of money among our citizens, and every effort should be made to show that we appreciate our good luck. But we "kinder hone" for the time when this grand old Ter ritory can be developed without in- reference with the powers that be-.

BEFOULING THEIR NESTS.

It is hard to understand the moral and mental makeup of a man who will deliberately and wilfully fight the interests of the city in which he makes his home, and use his brains and ability toward building up some other city at the expense of the one in which he lives. But such is the fact, if we judge the emanations re- gently published in our anarchistic competition Just what figment of fevered fancy can inspire man to deliberately knock an industry which spends thousands of dollars among the merchants of Valdez and among her citizens, is hard to fathom. If the road commission were of no use whatever to our city, it should be jealously guarded for the sake of the money it scatters so freely through out this district and along the Fair banks road. It maintains offices at this point with a payroll of over a thousand dollars per month, all of which is spent in Valdez and Fair banks. It has clerical force of com- potent, brainy men, whose presence is a welcome addition to our social ac- tivities. No man can conscientiously accuse one of it's members of doing anything but his best for our commu- nifty, and that, in many cases, with out thanks from the very parties whose families are enabled to live in comfort off the money received from road commission work.
 But for the sake of some political affiliations, which should have abso- lutely no bearing whatever upon an important industry, these local agita- tors are constantly belittling the ef forts of the commission and trying to assist our delegate in his nefarious plan of removing the office to Juneau.
 It has been said that 'it is an i'll bird that befouls it's own nest" but this saying is too mild to fit the case. Any man with soul so dead to civic pride that he is willing to sacrifice big payroll for the sake of petty poli- tics has a soul so small that it would rattle in hazlenut shell.
 We have no desire to devote any further space to these malcontents, knowing that they will work out their own downfall if left alone.
 For the sake of the future welfare of our city, let up on knocking your own bread and butter If it appeas- eth your soul to pour out the vials of wrath upon our defenseless head, we are willing to become the target of every foul-mouthed, fevered agita- tor who is ape to pound a typewriter, but if you love your town don't knock it's payrolls.
