WICK NERSHAM SEES NO TROUBLE
 ABOUT APPROPRIATIONS

Writing to a member of the Cook Inlet Pioneer, under date of Washing ton, D. C., February IA, Delegate Wickersham says, in part;
 "I gave very close attention to the matter of securing the necessary em- ergency appropriation to continue the work on the railroad, and teIe- graphed you just as soon as the bill passed the house so that you might have the information My Judge ment is that there will be no further opposition to the passage of the ap- propriation for this work. l think that all the talk of that kind is 'cultus wa-wa. Congress approved the building of the railroad, and think the unanimous sentiment here iu Washington is that NIr. Lane is doing it as well as anyone could do it, and there is strong inclination to stand by him and help him out. Of course, we all expect mistakes to be made, and possibly small losses here and there, but things of that kind go along with a big enterprise such as this railroad project is, and are so common that one does not feel like stopping a great improvement simply because of some small loss. l am sorry to see so much squabblmg az Anchorage about the matter but l suppose that cannot be helped. Some of my friends, l notice, are criticising the Commission, but that will not stop the appropriation nor the build ing of the railroad. l have no doubt I could find things to criticise if l looked for them, but 1 do not intend to do it. l intend to do everything l can toward getting the appropriations and to help push this great improve ment to conclusion and build the rail- road to the Matanuska and to Fair banks and open up the great interior of Alaska without too much pickering and small talk, and l certainly hope the people of Anchorage and the in- terior will take that view of it and help me.
 Very truly yours,
 JAMES WICKERSHAM.

PLANTS
ARE USEFUL
TO THE army

San Diego, CAL, April 19.-Eleph-
ants and camels, carrying two machine
gun sections of the 2Sth Company Of
the United States Marine Corps,
quartered at the exposition here, took
part in experimental maneuvers and
quickly demonstrated the feasibility
Of their use in actual warfare condi-
tions as now obtain in Mexico.
Mounting one operator and tripod
machine gun to an elephant, attended
by several U. S Marines on foot, the
elephants displayed surprising agility
in travelling over rough ground and
wheeling into proper position for fir
ing. The elephants, when ordered to
lie down made perfect brcastworks,
behind which the Marines were en-
abled in thirty seconds to employ an
effective machine gun fire.
Both elephants and camels would
prove useful in an extended campaign
such as the present one in Mexico, an
official declared, for both can carry
large loads and can go long distance
without water. Elephants are more
nervous under fire than can,els, but
proper training they can he cured OF
gun-shyness.

| language.
ooh, that had time to weep!" This
was the exclamation of Napoleon when
on one of his bloody battle-fields he
beheld the ghostly corpse Of brave
I young soldier who had fallen in the
fight. How often, has that emotion
welled up in our hearts as one by one
we have seen our sisters and brothers
called by death. And yet perhaps it
is well, that we do not have time to
weep; well that the overruling de-
mands of love for. the living and of
duty to the obligations which Provid-
ence has placed upon us, should con-
strain us from the mournful thoughts
and heartrending scenes that attend
the place of death. And after all, we
can do nothing for the dead but lay
them down at the foot Of the cross,
and utter the cry Of mortal submis-
sion to divine decree; "Thy will be
DONE" It is for ourselves, for these
around us, for those that come here
after, that We proclaim the virtues of
the dead, that we uplift their good ex-
amples, and that we contemplate their
end as the inevitable lot.
If some would escape death, and if
only some were doomed to die, life
would be vexed with new harrass-
ments and infelicities. In the impair
tiality of death there is taught the
lesson of human brotherhood. With
Death, equality is equity. A just
creditor death exacts from each and
all an equal due. If there be gloom
in this reflection theirs is also some
consolation. Death can not be wholly
evil and wholly sorrowful, seeing that
it is universal, that it is the fixed, in
evitable, invariable, unappealable law
of Him who rules forever.
Let somber triumphs wait upon my
bier:
I'll not forgive that friend who
sheds one tear.
Let no unworthy sounds of grief be
heard, go.
No. loud laments, not one unseem'y
word;
For whether gathered in life is
early morn,
Or in old age he drops, like an ear
of corn
Full ripe, he dies on natures noble
plan
Who lives to reason, and who dies
a man.

SPRING WORK
IS DELAYED

Tuesday night it began raining and
-rained all day yesterday, a large
amount of water falling. Owing to
the large amount Of water caused this
spring by the melting snow and then
this heavy rain on top of that there
will be nothing done toward seeding
for several days yet. The outlook is
that but very little seeding will be
done much before May 1, and the re-
result is going to be large decrease
in wheat acreage in this part Of the
state this year. It don't look now as
though there would be more than one
half the usual wheat acreage in this
section, unless it is put in too late to
insure crop. This means that there
will be large acreage of oats, barley
and fax. 7y}sp,n

BIG DANCE IS
4 SUCCESS

The House warming or dance given
in the new Masonic Temple Friday
evening last was one of the most
pleasant social events ever held in this
city. It was a splendidly arranged af-
fair and the crowd was all that could
be we'll accommodated in this beauti-
full temple. The entire building was
thrown open to those in attendance
and besides enjoying themselves trip
ping the light fantastic, the inspection
of the building throughout caused
much pleasure to those who had not
visited it before. Members Of the
Eastern Star furnished a splendid
supper and the dancing kept up until
the We sma' hours of the morning.

He said, "You do not know what it

The folded hands, the awful calm,

The lids that will not lift again,

The strange white solitude of peace

Vests Speech On Death

Twenty years ago in an eulogy
over the grave of a departed friend
at Sedalia, Senator Vest delivered
these sentiments on death:
Every death is a tragedy. We
stand by the open grave, mutter a
few prayers and rush back to the
struggle and meanness of life. A
few loval and loving hearts NAV
throb with agony. but time dulls
the pain-obscures the memory,
until the cold, pulseless marble at
last alone keeps watch over the
dead.
Every death is a tragedy be:
cause it ends a life's story, full OF
aspirations. love. hate, temptation
and suffering. Poor judges are we
of each other! And the truth will
never be known or justice be done

The Democracy OF Death

Here is gem from the funeral
Grafton delivered by Kansas great
orator, John J. Ingalls,, at the grave
of a friend.
In the democracy Of death all
men are at least equal. There is
neither rank nor preeorative in the
republic of the grave. AT this
fatal threshold the philosopher
ceases to be wise and the songs of the
poet are silent. Dives relinquishes
his millions and Lazarus his rags.
The poor man is as rich as the
richest and the rich man is as poor
as the pauper. The creditor loses
his usury and debtor is acquitted
of his obligation. There the proud
man surrenders his dignity, the
politician his honors, the worldling
his pleasures, the invalid needs no
physician and the laborer rests
from his unreuuitted toll. Here at
last, is natures final equity. The
wrongs of time are redressed, in
justice is explained and the irony
of fate is refuted the unequal dis
tribution of honor, wealth, capacity,
pleasure and opportunity which
makes life so cruel and inexplicable
a tragedy, passes on in the realms
of death. The strongest there have
no supremacy and the weakest
need no defense. The mighty cap.
tain succumbs to the invincible
adversary, who dlsarms alike the
victor and the vanquished."

Judge the secret intents of each
heart. Then the Pharisees of this
world, who thank God they are not
like yonder publican and who have
been followed to their last resting
place with all the pageantry of woe

Whilst many despised and condemn

been martys and heroes until their
bruised hearts ceased to beat
