OPTIMISTIC OVER THE

 "One thousand tons of copper ore, valued at not less than $780, 900, was received at Tacoma from Alaska during the past week. The capacity of the Tacoma smelters are to be doubled at once. And the increased business in sight justifies the expenditure.
 Another thing which Seattle people ought to consider and which appears to me to have been over looked, is this: With the great mineral resources of Alaska as the foundation, this city should become the center of the mining industry of the Northwest. Much of the wealth of this city has been real ized from mines In Alaska. Gov ernment engineers have pronounced the Copper River country to con- tain enormous exposed bodies of the richest copper ore D the world and 1t is from this district that the two million or more each month Is now being shipped"

In the whole AIr. Saunders is inclined to believe, the lots brought nearly double the price received for sim liar lots at the first sale. Most of those scld this tme were outlying residence lots but the ones that brought the highest prices were close in. MT. Saunders has been in the Natanuska country during the summer, around Matanuska Junctio and the coal fields. He says many settlers have arrived in the district and are putting in crops.

1t was only in the blossom of the
evening at Ted Teasdale's country

making her house party notable was
to induce their guests to amuse them
selves; and their set had depended
upon hired entertainers for so long
that the idea had all the charm of dis
tinct novelty. Fine? No end of it!
One could always be sure of having

Fosland was at this party. Fine chap,
Gerald, and beautifully decent in his
attentions to Arly. Pity they were so
rotten bored with each other; but
there you were! Each should have

Gail Sargent fairly scintillated with

OWED SUCCESS TO CHANCE

but he refused to be discouraged and
adhered to his purpose.
One day he was working at his
bench when small diamond and 4
garnet happened to be lying on
board before him. In some way he
tipped the board at such an angle
that the two stones rolled together to-
ward the edge. 1t happened that there
was a small grease spot on the board,
and when the diamond reached 1t, 1t
was stopped and held. while the gar.
net passed on and fell over the edge.

CALVES INTENDED FOR BEEF
Necessary to Give Young Animals
Grain While on Milk Diet-First
Winter of Importance.

When you are feeding calves in
tended for beef animals you have two
methods which may be followed. You
can let the calf run with the cow or
you can remove the calf and feed him
skim milk and grains instead of giving
him the whole milk. writes l.. Hunt of
Kansas in Farm Progress. In these
days of dairying the calf that is not
vealed is likely to become a skim milk
calf. The youngster that runs with his
mother usually ends his first summer
in excellent flesh, while the skim milk
calf is not plump, but usually has
larger frame.
If you are going to make beef out of
either Of these calves it is necessary to
give them grain while on a milk diet.
If II is plain that they need this extra
ration. In handling the skim milk calf
give him a little oil meal while the
change from the whole to the skim
milk is under way and keep it up as he
grows older and bigger. Keep him on
the pasture and at the same time keep
up the feed of skim milk and oil meal

classical" Music.

Many people have en- idea that only
the compositions OF the old masters
are classical and frequently imagine
that these are classical because they
belong to the past. 1t is not antiquity
or the name of the composer that de.
termines whether a piece Of music Is
classical or otherwise. The true mean
ing of classical music is: Compost.
tons which maintain a certain stan.
dard; music of the first rank. Compo-
sitions can be classical and romantic
at the same time. The word romantic.
as applied to music. means imagfna-
tive, fairylike. Music which is clas-
steal and at the same time romantic,
is more emotional, more fancifui,
more poetic and less rigid and formal
than strictly classical compositions.
For example, Be chs works are, more
frequently, strictly classical, whereas
Mendelssohn's and SchCmann's are
both classical and romantic.

ought to be some cracked corn, bran
and ground oats.
There is not much use in feeding the
calf that is running with the COW. II
on the pasture he is getting about all
that he needs. AS a general thing 1t
will pay, though, to teach him to eat,
for he will have to go through tho
weaving period. If fed cracked grains
and kept on good pasture the calf
will learn to eat before weaving time
and will not lose much flesh when sep
arated from the COW.
The first winter is an important
period to the calf that is being grown
as a beef animal. The calf will have
to be given shelter that is more com
Portable than the open sheds that are
being provided nowadays for the big
