Husbands Letter
 Puzzles Court

LOS ANGELES.-Are the eXpres sions of tenderness and love con tained in a missive received by Mrs Beckie Tarshes from her husband Isidore, his, or those of someone whom he employed to write the letter?
 This was the question that puzzled Judge Taft yesterday when he lis tened to Mrs. Tarshes' divorce peti- tion, for Mrs Tarshes testified that her husband is unable to write. She did not get her decree, the court holding her evidence insufficient.
 Mrs. Tarshes and her three chil dren came from New York two years ago. Tarshes, it was testified, stayed behind and still contiues to stay behind Wherefore the wife charges desertion. ....
 She said that she had received but one letter from him since she arrived here and that was the letter in ques- tion. She declared that such lov- ing letter, followed by silence, was proof that the husband had ceased to care.
 The judge frankly admitted that the letter mystified him.

SPEND THE MONEY.

The citizens of Fairbanks have subscribed the larger part of the money they promised for the build ing of a road to the Tolovana, the on fifteen per cent grade, and now all that remains to be done is for the road commission to get busy and spend their money just as soon as possible, for the sooner the people of the town realize that they never will have feasible CT they will get busy and raise some more money to build a road of their own.
 The leading spirits In this pot]atch- ing proposition are not working in the interests either of the town or the residents of the new camp. They are not fair to themselves. If the citizens have money to spend on trails, why not spend it them selves and get the worth of the money. It is within the memory of the youngest sourdough that an other 5000 was once appropriated from the territorial school fund for the purpose of building a trail to the Cinema Hot Springs, and after that amount had been spent by the Alaska road commission prize could have been offered by anyone for evidence that would lead to the detection of even a blaZed route, and the prize would have never been claimed.
 MT. Zug, the local superintendent of the commission, never in his ten ure of office built anything that would even pass for a trail, and one of the most monumental blum ders ever made in trail building in the territory was committed by him-namely, the trail between here and Richardson-and yet the people of Fairbanks must raise the actual money that will be spent on the Tolovana road while the money the commission will disburse will go to make up the expenses embodied
 in blue prints. salaries to nincom- poops and incidental bar bills, and this is the route Mir Zug has wished upon us. The mere fact that it was his selection should be argu- ment enough against it's acceptance,
 When an engineer deliberately chooses a route with five divides to cross, with at least a fifteen per cent grade over some of them, as against the route with one divide and very nominal grade, there must be something back of it.
 MT. Zug stated that his successor, MT. Sommers, would inspect the Happy trail before deciding which route to build over. This has not been done. and not only that but he has received telegraphic instruc- tions to proceed to build just AS SOON AS HE GETS THE FAIR BANKS MONEY. In other words. Mr. Zug selected the route and lei; no choice to MT. Sommers.
 Men who have gone over the o. nes trail say that the commission can spend as much money as the government will allow and the citi- zens of Fairbanks will raise, and still they will never have a naviga- ble trail.

AN UN-ACASkAN SPIRIT.
(The Seward Gateway)

(The Seward Gateway
 The suit brought by the repre-, sentatives of the First division to restrain the territory from using the forest funds equally for all parts o' Alaska was frightfully illadvised and as matters now look the First division stands to gain nothing by it whichever way the cat jumps. Be cause the funds coming from the forest reserves in the First division were greater than those from the other divisions the First division came to the conclusion that the other divisions did not have equal rights to them.
 If the same argument held good in other respects the other three divisions might object 10 having the capital in Juneau. The forest funds are really federal money, or, at least were federal money until the federal government decided to let the territory have it. If the funds coming through the federal government from forests should be spent where they are collected, the money received by the federal gov ernment from customs, railroads, etc, ought to be spent where they are collected, unless the forest funds are governed by special regulations and rules. which is hardly likely.
 Let us suppose that there has been made a special regulation by which forest funds are to be turned or something else. and let us sup pose that the federal government decides later to turn over the prof it's of the government railroad for the use of the territory. What would the First division think if the Third and Fourth divisions claimed all those profits for their own benefit Or. let us suppose that the money acquired from the leasing of the Matanuska coal lands were used for the development of Alaska. Is Juneau going to establish a precedent by which the people of the coming Matanuska city may secure all those funds of the future?
 Aside from all this: The First division by it's suit is manifesting n vyn nf c Alaskan. It has the greatest gold mines and the greatest fisheries of Alaska at present It has payrolls far exceeding the payrolls of other districts and it has a splendidly pros porous future assured. Will a few thousand dollars, if they can be ob- tained, repay it for declaring war on the other parts of the territory?"

AN IN TERROR HOME.

If Delegate Wickersham can pre- vail upon the other two members of the commission appointed by the territorial legislature at their ses- sion of 1913. and perpetuated al their late session to accept his report of findings. Interior Alaska will have a home for the aged pros pector that will be a credit to the Territory
 The delegate. as one of the com mission. is acting on authority of the governor. who is another. the two comprising a majority of the body, and when the delegates final report is made the full commission will no doubt take the matter in hand and act on it at once
 The delegates trip 10 the Cinema Hot Springs is for the express pur. pose of thoroushly Investigating that site for the Interior home, and should that prove 10 be the choice of the commission. the appropriation already available will be spent in either the purchase of the buildings already there or the erection of new buildings for the purpose of housing those who are unfortunate enough to need the protection of the territory,
 With the springs as a government reserve, by a recent action of the land department, there should be no trouble to get title for the home, and with the known medicinal qual- ities of the water there could be no more ideal spot in the territory for such an institution
 Should this site be the choice of the commission it would be of con siderable benefit to the commercial interests of Fairbanks. While the appropriation of 5000 annually for the maintenance of the institution would help some it would be only natural that the territory would build a good road in connection with the springs. upon which automobiles could be operated making it possi- ble for the residents of Fairbanks 10 make weekend visits to that re- sort, and in that way it would be much more pleasant for the inmates who would keep in touch with civi- lization and really feel at home in their enforced confinement.
 The greatest difficulty in getting an old timer 10 accept the hospitali- " of the territory by becoming an inmate of the Sitka institution is the fact that it would take him away from the environment to which he has become accustomed, and fur ther that he would naturally be separated from all friends and ia miliar faces. With the Interior home at the springs he would feel perfectly at ease, not being sepa- rated from intimate scenes, and hardly a week would pass without coming in contact with friends and acquaintances.
 The pioneer, as rule, is also pretty independent. and should he be forced to accept the hospitality of the territory for a time, he could vacate the premises when he felt competent to take care of himself, and still be within reach of the helping hand of his friends.
 It is to be hoped that nothing will be left undone to bring this matter to successful conclusion, and with the help of the commission it will be possible to have the institu- ton in full operation before this time a year hence.
