Is WANTED AT
 SEWARD

The complaints made in Washing ton yesterday by three men claiming to represent employees of the Alaskan engineering commission resulted in considerable discussion today of the various minor complaints which have been levelled at the commission by workmen and those seeking work here and at Anchorage. Such com plaints occur in connection with the carrying on of every project in the line of construction work, whether it be public or private.
 Of all the complaints in this in- stance there is only one that is of sufficient importance to pc called to the attention of the higher gov ernment officials at Washington and that has to do with the methel of paying employees.
 This criticism, however cannot be directed against the Alaskan engi- neering commission but falls on the officials of the treasury department, who make arrangements for the hand ling of government funds.
 When the first appropriation of $2.000,000 was made early last year the treasury department was given an opportunity to establish a govern ment depository. The department, not taking into consideration the conditions in Alaska. or the cost of transportation of gold, wanted to es- tablish one here under the usual GUS tom-by which the government re- ceives interest on daily balances, the bank paying the cost of transporting gold. Such an agreement would make the cost of handling federal funds losing proposition. Just what in fluence was brought to bear on the treasury department to prevent 1t from making the necessary compro- mise of rules by which a depository could be established in Seward is not known.
 | Needless to say 1t has worked q great hardship on the employees of the commission, which, in the ab- sence of such a depository, have been | forced to accept checks on the United States treasury, because another rule prevents the engineering commission from having more than a certain amount of actual cash on hand at one time, without endless red tape. Checks on the treasury department are no more legal tender than any other check. and are subject to all the rules of an ordinary check. In l case of loss or theft followed by forgery of an endorsement payment may be stopped. And in case of | uJ tIC RAAty " "ASAA N~S are issued, payment may be stopped,
 Most business houses do not hesi- tate to cash these checks this year for their customers, but in doing so assume a risk.
 Il Nearly a million dollars was paid by check at Anchorage this year and in many instances men had great difficulty in cashing them.
 l With a government depository here and simple method of Identification all this trouble will be eliminated and it is to be trusted that the treas ury department will make the neces sary arrangements for such a de pository at an early date.-Sewart Post

Indians Hunt Prairie
Dogs With We Bowe

James F. Mullen, supervisor of
the Manzano forest, returned
last night from trip into the
Navajo country and reports that
the Navajos are conservatively
sticking to two old customs.
They still use the bow and ar
row, and still refuse to have
anything to do with a dead mem
Der of the tribe.
All over the country, Mr.. Null
len said, he saw the Indians
hunting prairie dogs with the
old-fashioned bow and arrow.
He thought the Indians had
pretty m u c h abandoned the
weapon of their fathers, but
they haven't.
Near one of the settlements
he found a newly built hogan,
with one of the logs pulled out
to indicate that there was q
corpse within. The corpse was
there as indicated. Mr.. Mullen
didn't have to go close to the
hogan to assure himself of that.
The body was that of an old
squaw. When the Indians saw
that she was about to die they
built the hogan away from the
settlement, moved the old woman
into it, and gave her the last
attentions she required. When
she died they pulled out the one
log for a sign, and departed from
the hogan with unanimous final
ity after throwing stick a n q
brush over the body.
They will have no more to dc
with the corpse. The Navajo
never can be induced to have
anything to do with a dead
body; he is afraid of devils and
things.

tenant Will stand until somebody
with thoughtful carelessness sets
it afre. Albuquerque Herald.

Kidding CHEESE OF MITES
High-Frequency Currents Of Electric
Ity Are Employed for the Purpose
by French Scientist.

Not satisfied with ripening
peaches by electricity, a French SCI
enlist has hit upon the plan of rid
ding cheese of mites by the applica-
ton of powerful high-frequency cur
rents.
He has invented brush with fine
silver bristles. The brush is con-
nected with a powerful high-fre-
quency apparatus and then is passed
slowly over the surface of the
cheese. The surface is bathed in
heatless sparks and the organisms
are instantly electrocuted. This
scientific expert also has had remark
able success in ripening cheese by
electricity.
American ingenuity, however, has
overshadowed this Frenchman. We
are told the most successful raisers
of broilers for the city markets have
discovered that electricity is an in
dispensable aid in promoting the
growth of chickens. Since the chick
en- does its feeding exclusively in the
daytime, electric lights in the brood
ers play trick upon the unsuspect-
ing fowl and makes him a glutton.
He eats all the food he requires in
eight hours and utilities another
eight hours to digest it. Thus the
chicks live three electric days in two
ordinary days and consequently
reaches the markets weeks ahead Of
their country cousins.

ONCE TOO OFTEN

Sometimes we do things once

The bather insists upon one

and never comes out.

more drink before he falls into

The indulger in forbidden fruit
must have one more taste before
he is beyond redemption.

once more the bright lights OF

listens to her hearts appeal fol
penitence but she will never see
her mothers face again.
The crowd jeered the black
champion of the prize ring when
they saw him fallen and beaten
in Havana. He had stayed toe
long. He had fought once toe
often.
So they will jeer all those who
turn their backs upon home, upon
Church and Bible and school,

AS EMPEROR HAD PREDICTED
Course, of History Bore Out Present.
ment Which Had Afflicted the
Great Napoleon.

Napoleon the Great. was. exceed
ingly superstitious. The following
is told as one of the Illustrations OF
this: When Napoleon, in the spring
of 1899, was lying before Acre, he
was anxious for news from upper
Egypt, whittier he had despatched
Dessaix in pursuit of distinguished
Mameluke leader. Not many days
after a courier arrived with dis
patches, favorable in the main, but
reporting one tragical occurrence on
a small scale that to Napoleon out
weighed the public prosperity. The
commander, as brave man, felt
that any fate that awaited him would
be better than to fall into the hands
of the enemy. He set fire to the
powder magazine. The vessel blew
up and the crew perished. For all
this Napoleon cared little; but one
solitary fact there was IN the report
which struck him with secret alarm
this ill-fated boat was called iIta-
lie, and in the name of the vessel
Napoleon read an augury of the fate
which had befallen the italian terri
tory. He felt certain that Italy was
lost and Napoleon was ineonsolable.
But what possible connection, it was
asked, can exist between this vessel
on the Nile and a remote peninsula
of southern Europe? 'sFo NATTER
replied Napoleon, ''my presentiments
never deceive me. You will see that
all is ruined. / am satisfied that my
Italy, my conquest, is lost to
France" So, indeed, it was.

Why Milk and Butter
Are Sometimes Yellow

The belief that a bright yel-
low color in milk means richness
in quality is not true. Expert
ments conducted at the College
of Agriculture of the University
of Missouri show that the change
from the white cream and but
ter in spring and summer does
not indicate an increase fat per
centage. The very highest col
ored milk that a COW can give
may have the lowest fat per-
centage. Such a condition is
found in the so-called colostrum
milk, the first milk that a cow
gives after giving birth to a calf.
The explanation of the wide
difference between the results
of the experiments and the popu-
lar belief in regard to the rela-
ton of color to richness lies in
the cause of the natural yellow
color of cream and butter. It
was found that cows were not
able to produce the yellow color
ing matter for their cream and
butter. The coloring matter
must be derived from the feed.
The yellow coloring matter of
milk was found to be identical
with a yellow coloring matter
that is widely distributed in
plants and fresh grass.
This coloring matter is called
carotin. 1t takes it's name from
the carrot, where it is very
abundant, and where it was first
discovered by scientists more
than one hundred years ago.
The difference in the color of
cream and butter in winter and
spring was found to be due to
the fact that the winter feeds
contain little or no carotin. No
marked increase in the fat per-
centage accom- panies the increase
in color when foods rich in caro-
tin are fed. It has been shown
that the average cow gives a
higher per cent of fat in it's milk
during the winter than in the
spring and summer. -Stockman-
Farmer.
