KAKE Is BECOMING
 CENTER FOR FARMERS

Rake Is becoming q center for farmers and homesteaders, accord ing 10 John E. Stewart of that place who is something of farm CT himself. Six homesteads have been located on Big Johns Bay, and there is other land available for location there and nearby.
 Capt. Peter Madsen, who sails the E. A. Hegg to Rake every Monday, says that place is one of the chosen spots of Alaska. "Not only can they raise everything in the way of vegetables and grasses there, as we'll as they can anywhere, but they have the finest fishing and hunting that I know about. Bear, deer and water fowl are abundant. "

is with a pen in the nicety of the copy he makes. There Is little to be said In the way of suggestion, and his work would compare favorably with the most expert manipulatOrs of the letter. ed keyboard. The words are spaced well, the punctuation all that could be desired and the alignment just per feet enough and with enough imperfec- tons to show that 1t Is not a printed page.
 What Would Happen Now7
 People never could really understand why the whisky and beer cases which made Dr. Wiley somewhat famous came before the agricultural depart ment. It was because they were un- der the pure food law, and that law was administered by. the department of agriculture. But whisky and beer that is, the best of these llquors-cOme from agricultural products and to that extent belong In the department. This fact inspired an employee of the bu- reau to show what could be done with agricultural products that had been turned into liquors. A bulletin was issued showing how all kinds of mixed drinks were made. It was popular at the time, and many q bartender pro- cured a copy. But 1t was never re- printed when the supply became ex- hausted. The temperance people at- tended to that. What would happen if such q bulletin were issued now no one could tell. But 1t would certainly raise a furorc among the prohibition ists.
 Travellers and Baggage.
 Every person who has travelled In Europe knows what q great trouble 1t is to look after baggage. All European travellers in this country marveled at the simplicity of our baggage arrange ments, and our own people were per fecuy satisfied Then suddenly, as from q clear sky, comes a change of the entire system, making trouble and creating general dissatisfaction. Curl ously enough, this was by law pass ed by congress, and no one ever heard of 1t or heard of the necessity for 1t.
 On Uneasy Street.
 Mir. Bryan while secretary of state was able to have quite number of his friends and followers given good places in the government service. Now the powers which appoint can remove and replace, and the men who were fOrtu- nate in being friends of Bryan and landing these places are wondering whether the "tail goes with the hide" and they may have to follow Bryan into private life.
 An Organized Industry.
 "Ofice seeking and office holding has become an organized industry" re- marked Senator Thomas of Colorado, "and 1t is of constantly growing dl- menslOnS,"
 ''The senator from Colorado is one of them" remarked Senator Myers of Montana, who was at that time in op- position to the Colorado senator, re- ferring to the fact that Thomas had for a long time been a candidate for various offices in Colorado.

 Washington, July 5-(Special) - When war with Spain was imminent congress voted S50OOO,OOO, which was placed in the hands of President Nc Kinley for national defense. This was done because congress knew that we were not in the least prepared for war; that there was neither guns, ammuni- ton, equipment nor provision to sup ply the new troops which would be re- outred. Yet the country plunged in headlong, as if e million men might be equipped with squirrel rifles and de feat 30 decrepIt nation as was Spain.
 Now, when war Is threatened with a greater power, power equipped for war, we hear people talking about ex- pending e thousand millions for na- tional defense. But during the last few years every person who has talked about better defense arrangements has been ridiculed. And many are still BODOeCI IO tue SaLAS dlIaNhB bAS C$AAN VA necessity for arming being met with the statement that the nation is not going to war, and if attacked 1t can defend itself.
 Jlnposs and Peace People.
 There Is a constant strife between the jingoes and the peace people. They are all the time putting forth their views on one side or the other of this question of war preparation. Most of the peace people have a good argument in saying that If We mind our own business we wIll not get into war. The other fellows say that certain foreign CTS will not let us mind our own busi- ness, and there we are. The discus sion begins all over again with decla- rations that war preparations are vital and with assertions that war will not come and that such preparations only aggravate the war spirit.

besides waste paper in that reader. Does it by any chance cry to you from it's pages to Strike for Your Altars and Your FiresTF
 "No, sir"
 "My mistake" Smith Apperson ex- claimed. q asked you about that piece before. It's great one too. used to get it off regularly twice term, and when l didn't do 1t some other boy did. Never a piece day came round but some one struck out for his altars and his fires. I'll get you q copy of the kind of reader I used to have"
 Mir. Apperson went the next day into a downtown book store, known to him as a place where, if they did not have a book, they would get 1t for you if 1t was to be had.
 "I want a copy of McGuHey's old Fifth reader" said he
 "So do l." replied the owner of the store, who knew Apperson well. "T'n buy a gross of them at good price. Scarcely a week goes by that do not have n call for that book or for some other old school book"
 How asked MT. Apperson, ''how do you account for itT'
 "Well, it's this way" Sah the pro prietor, "A father asks his boy some thing about what he himself had stud led at school, thinking, probably, to test him. The boy fails to give the correct answer or says he never took 1t in his grade. The father looks into the boys book or books and finds, as perhaps in your case, that the stories in which he delighted are not includ- ed in the reader editions of today. Then he comes here to get a school book that is what he calls real school book.
 "FOr instance, only a few days ago a man came In for an old geography. He said the book his boy studied was absolutely of no account, historically at least.
 "'What do you mean, history in a geography" asked '~.~,..
 "Why,' he replied, T asked my boy about the isthmus of Darien, and he had never heard of such place; didn't know there had ever been anything of the sort. Of course he could and did tell me all about the isthmus of Pana- ma, but Darien wasn't In his geogra- phy. Now, I want that boy to know there was an isthmus of Darien, and l don't want him to have to take his fathers word for 1t. Give me an old geography, one of about thirty-ave years ago.
 "I couldn't fill the order. Old school books are rare. Everybody wants them, some to renew memories of their youth by reading over the old pieces, others because they want to show to their children what they had to go through when they themselves went to school.
 "Webster's Speller, Sanders Reader and McGunfey's Reader are tho partc- ular books which seem to stay in the memories of the old boy and the old girl. But can't sell them because l haven't got them"
 "Then I reckon I'll have to give young Harry Smith Apperson my best information and belief. as lawyers say, about how Freedom shrieked when Kosciusko fell and 30 forth"
