dious if we had their side of the story and did not base our opinion of them on what was said by their bitter enemy, Cicero; ar it may be said that the whole accepted story of that famous era in Ron history is the opposite of the truth.
 In Max Nordau's "Interpretion of History" he calls attention to the fact that in 1906 excavations at Bog hazkoi discovered Cheta. the capital of an empire of that name. Of that empire nothing is known save an in- scription referring to treaty be- tween it's Emperor and Rameses III. But" say Dr. Nordau. between 1900 and HOO B. C., this empire had in all probability, a profound influence on Judea and Isi ael, an in fiuence hitherto unsuspected by his- torians, and in consequence their in- depreciation of the history of Judea has been imperfect, or even entirely false"
 History, it has been said, is a lie agreed upon; rather it is in some de- gree a guess based on insufficient hearsay. Matthew Arnold rather cynically dismissed the case as hope less. "On the breast of that huge Mississippi of falsehood called his tory, a foam bell more or less is of no consequence,' and hence it was hardly worth while to correct de- tails. If the Irish are indignant, it is not because they are sufferers above others, but they are alive, and most of the other victims of false hood and misunderstanding are now dead.-New York Times.

TIDE TABLES FOR VALDEZ

Predictions for high and low water are taken from the official tide tables prepared by the U. s. Coast and Geo. detic Survey. The time given for high and low water is Valdez time, and the figures immediately follow ing the time, indicate the height of the tide at Valdez. To find the depth of water, add the tabular height to the soundings given on the chart, unless minus (-) sign is used be- fore the height. in which case sub tract it.

COUNCIL MEETING
 WAS HARMONIOUS
On-Old Warrants Not to be Taken for City Taxes.

The City Council held a harmoni- ous meeting last night, and much business was transacted. It was de- cided to meet every Tuesday night hereafter.
 An ordinance was passed increas- ing the city levy to two per cent. A one per cent tax will be made on all bank deposits. The council decided to go on a cash basis by paying all salaries and bills of the present coun- c'l in full, in cash, and taking up the old warrants issued up to the time of the present incumbency, as fast as possible at face value. Most of the old warrants were issued by other councils in payment of debts incur red when the city was called upon to fight the glacial stream. The Council is making no attempt to re- pudiate these warrants, but believe as they draw interest, and the plan is acceptable to most of the large holders, that it will be better to take them up after the money is avail- able from the increased tax rate.
 This ordinance will be published in full as soon as available.
 It was also decided to pay the School Board the necessary money for the schools in December, out of the new levy. Later the schools will be paid city warrants which, however, are to be paid for before the back warrants are paid.
 This was the plan adopted by the Nome council a few years ago, and met with great success in that city.
 A number of bills were allowed, and the fire company paid for at tendance at fires during the past month.
 It is stated that the utmost har- mony prevailed at this meeting, all mem bers voting unanimously on the measures passed, the council realiz- ing that some measure of relief must be afforded the schools.

THE WAR AND IMMIGRATION.

The revolutionary effect of the war upon trade is surpassed by the effect upon immigration. The excess of arrivals over departures for the year ended June 30, 1915, was only 50,O7O. Since 1910 the range has been between 100000 and 800,00O. Naturally there is a decrease in the arrivals from all nations. the great est decrease being in Italians, 227,~ 8S2. Italians also lead in depart ures for home, 124,246, but the greatest decrease in departures, sin gularly enough, is in English men and women. Last year 120,842 Eng fish went home, and this year of war only 76,S6S.
 Each year since 1910, except only 1915, arrivals have exceeded mil ion; now they have fallen to 434,- PA. These figures have an impor- tant bearing upon the labor market, and it would be interesting to know whether the return flow will reach old dimensions when the war is over. The exodus from the United States just now is only partly for patriot ism. War prices are paid for labor, sufficient even to tempt some Ameri cans to go over. But after the war it may be supposed that the Ameri can bid for labor will again be the worlds highest, while war wages will no longer be paid. Labor like gold goes where the bid is best, and there is no reason to suppose that after the war this country will lose its attraction.

New PostOffice Building Assured.

In all probability a new building will be erected for the postoffice, as definite plans have about been com pleted for the same. If the plans of the prospective owner of the new building are carried out, it will be one of the most slightly in Valdez, steam-heated and with every conve- nience for the public and postmaster
 Postmaster Jefferson is all smiles these days, as the prospects for a new postoffice building seem bright CT. The next morning after the fire Postmaster Jefferson moved into a dwelling house, and since then has been distributing the mail with ex- treme difficulty, as at times fifty or sixty sacks arrive on one boat.

Valdez is blessed with good water, pure air and a generous people. There is no reason why, geographi- cally, she should not become one of the most prosperous cities in the Territory. Surrounded by rich min ing districts, with unlimited water power and plenty of timber, the time is near at hand when her popu- lation will be increased substan- tially.

When the fact becomes generally known that parties can save three days into the interior by coming to Valdez by steamer and taking ono of the numerous auto stage lines that run from Valdez, many more people will take advantage of this route. The travel this year was fairly gratifying, and next year the stage owners expected to he taxed to their capacity. Every dollar that comes into Valdez is bound to help some one.

HISTORY, LIES, AND GUESSES.

Vixen Count Joseph De Maistre said, "For three centuries history has been an uninterrupted conspiracy against the truth" he might have inn proved the sentence by leaving out the time limitation. It is not merely that history contains great errors oi fact; our understanding of whole eras and the course of human events in them is often faulty and erroneous becadse of the material from which 1t is formed. The letter: called forth in The Times by some remarks of a correspondent upon | 'sh history give new illustration of this. There is reason for the indignation shown by MT. J. L. Graham over the utter mfsapprehension of the place an- cient Ireland occupied i. civiliza- tion, and it is not a m:.apprehen- sior affecting only the ,derstanding If Irish history; it misinterprets the whole course of mediaeval history.
 Ireland was the last survivor of civilization in the western world. The barbarian invasion which over whelmed Europe and extinguished the torch of learning stopped at the Irish Sea and left Ireland untouched. and upon her fell the burden of ex- tending civilization and christianity eastward. The Roman missionaries got little farther west than Kent; the Irish sent missionaries to Eng land, taught the barbarian., to write; gave them the letters they used un- til the Norman Conquest, founded schools, and in the middle of the sev- enth century there was not Bishop in England who was not of Irisl. birth. conservation or education. From the Irish universities there poured forth missionaries to the Con- tinent, and from Ireland civilization and learning spread to Germany and Switzerland; Charlemagne, seeking to civilize his people, sert to those universities for his teachers. Ireland was the single start that shone un- dimmed in the general blacKness that fell upon the west after the fall of Rome.
 Not to understand this is not to understand the course of western history, both on the Continent and in the Islands. Why does the old delusion persist that Ireland was a barbarous country? Because the sources from which history was drawn was ignorant of it, and new learning cannot easily displace old ideas. It is no new thing for the worlds understanding of a whole epoch to be wrong because of insufl- ciept information, and the Irish have no reason to fell that they are sin gled out for misunderstanding. Gib- bon,. reconstructing the course of history after the northern invasion, tells us in footnotes again and again that what he states in .he text is merely the best guess he can arrive at after studying utterly contradic- tory histories; sometimes he is oblig- ed to construct the story of a whole epich from few poems or an ora tion or two.

But, just the same, if you have a good book to donate to this ex- cellent cause, we are quite sure it will be appreciated. The ob- ject is to make this a circulat- ing library, not only for the members of the Sunday school, but for the entire community. 1t is not essential that the book should be a religious one, but any clean, moral book, suitable for young or old, will be appre- ciated.

KILLING ON NINETEENTH STREET PIKE-ALVIN
 CARON VICTIM.

Alvin CarOn, a newcomer who recently purchased the old Ar thur place on the Nineteenth street pike, was shot and killed early Wednesday morning at his new home by Thomas Jabine, previous owner of the property, in a dispute over the removal of certain tools and implements. An inquest was held, and the testimony of w. F. Shipp and w. M. Grant, witnesses of the shooting, was heard. The ver- dict of the coroner's jury was that the killing was unjustifi- able.
 Jabine came to Little Rock and surrendered. He is a broth CT of c. w. Jabine, the proprie- tor of a curio store at 108 West Second street, and unmarried.
 The victim of the tragedy was a brother of Guy Caron, for mer register of the U. s. land office in Little Rock, and now connected with the Bankers Trust Company. He came to Little Rock three weeks ago from Indiana and bought the farm from Jabine. He is sur vived by his widow, parents, four sisters and a brother.
 John G. Mcbride, 79 years old. died Tuesday at his home east of Little Rock, on rural route No. |2. The body was sent to Valley Springs for burial.

HELP THE GIRLS INDUSTRI-
 AT, HOME.


 Psychologists, eriminologists, slum workers, hundeds of oth- CTS interested in uplift work, have made a study of the delin- quent girl, and virtually all have agreed that she is the result of improper training during those years in which her future life is moulded. From 8 to IS years of age her mind is a garden in which are sown the seeds of good womanhood or of failure.
 The Arkansas Girls Industri- al Home Association has agreed to take this burden from the shoulders of society by building a home where these girls may be placed. They have declared that their work is to form, not re- form, these girls. Foming the lives of girls is preparedness against future generations, while reformation is only cor recting an evil that now exists, and a far more difficult task. 1t is far easier to guide the child along the right path than it is to reach out and draw her back after she has strayed into that world of tinsel which she be- lieves is real life.
 Committees promoting the in- terests of the Arkansas Girls Industrial Home have asked Put laski county to contribute $100 a month to the support of the proposed institution. The city of Little Rock has been asked to contribute $75 a month. The city of Argenta will be asked to contribute monthly to the SUD- port of the home. Citizens who see the wisdom of such a school will be asked to make contribu- tions for it's maintenance, too.
 Sixty girls were handled by the probation officer of Little Rock last year. Thirty of these girls were delinquent and could have been handled in such a home. The average age of that thirty was about IA years. The oldest was IS and the youngest was eight. Not one but that was worth retaining, worth the money spent upon her to make her a decent member of society" again.-Arkansas Dem- ocrat.

SUNDAY SCHOOL CLASS EN-
 RETAINED.

Class No. 3 of the Forest Park Sunday school, of which w. s. DornBlaser is teacher, held it's first regular monthly business and social meeting at the home of it's president, Miss Clara Messenger, last Sunday afternoon. The following young ladies, members of the class, were present: Misses Cora Revely, vice president; Esther Hughes, secretary; Katherine Davis, treasurer; Eugenia Mey- CT, Edna Keeley, Julia Davis, Anita Meyer, Bessie Henthorne, Dorothy Falkenburg and Nora Pearl Henry, and Misses Lenoir Denny and Gladys DornBlazer as invited guests. MT. and Mrs. D. E.. Winchester assisted Miss Messenger in entertaining her guests.
 As the amount of business was small, the greater portion of the time was devoted to games, which all seemed to heartily enjoy. Although this class has been in existence un- der the charge of it's present teacher for more than year, it recently organized under the Wesley Bible Class Department of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, and will affiliate with the International Associa- tion. The class has an enroll ment of twenty young ladies, and has mapped out some impor- tant work for itself in the com- munity in which it is located. Just now it is making an earn est effort to accumulate a li- brary to present to the Sunday school as a Christmas present. This is a secret, and the school is not supposed to know any thing about it, and we are just whispering it into your ears.
