From another Point OF NeD

A fellow who has a garden is most
likely to find himself wishing it had been
as hard for his fond parent to find a
single around as it is when one is need
ed to protect the tomato plants.
Even in summer one finds it hard to
warm up to coal at the same price they
charge in winter.
Wasn't it just like compositor to

A case that is being offered motorists
contains aid for headaches, cramps
toothache, cuts, bruises, eye trouble, in
digestion, sudden colds, and coughs,
court plaster, gauze and antiseptic band
ages and absorbent cotton. They have,
however, left out the one thing that
would make it an immediate success,
which one thing would be substitute
for 20-cent gasoline.
A fashion note says cutaway coats are

same extent, formerly, they went back.

That most amateurs allow their

stead OF lifting the roots like
those Of dahlia sand storing them
in the cellar. When these roots
are carried over and set out the

they get so large that many peo-

LET US HOPE

Word comes from Washington that Delegate Wickersham hopes to get a bill extending the full Territorial form of government to Alaska passed. It is encouraging news, and we shall continue to hope that the Delegate is sincere in the matter and that he will make a determined effort to realize the hope. Alaska needs it. We need amendments to our general school laws. We need power to regulate many things. The lack of government al power is seriously retarding dev- elopment. It is shackling a growing country that is ready for sane and reasonable expansion.
 It is good to know that the Dele gate to Congress takes enough inter- est in his bill to express the belief that it may become law. It will be a welcomed day when he appears be- fore the Committee on Territories and makes the case for it so strong that it will be favorably reported to Congress-If the day ever really comes.-Empire.

CONTRACT LET
 GLACIER CLAIMS
TO RUN 100 FEET OF TUNNEL
Valdez Mining Company Will DeveI- Op Promising Vein on South Side of Valdez Glacier-Much Work Al- ready Done.

Development work on another promising Valdez mining property will commence within few days, and | if the plans of the company are car ried out, the property will soon be placed among the list of producers.
 4 contract was let this morning to Red Tuson, James O'Brien and An drew Burkland to do 100 feet of tun- nel work on the property of the Val dez Mining Company, and when this contract is completed, the company contemplates the letting of further contracts until the vein is sufficiently developed to warrant the installation of machinery.
 The property is situated on the south side of the Valdez glacier and is very promising property. 4 large amount of development work has al- ready been done on the vein, tunnels already run having demonstrated that the vein runs to considerable depth and carries good values. It is oppo- site the Ramsay-Rutherford property, which is now a large producer, and it is confidently expected that the vein on the Valdez Mining company's ground will give equal results.

MUNSON'S FACING
 SERIOUS PROBLEM

Reports from out the trail indi- cate that the Salcha river is behaving in such a manner that the safety of the residents of Munsons is question ed. High water and jams have cut off communication between the tele- graph lines and the roadhouse, and the last message that came through to Fairbanks from the roadhouse called upon R. J. Sommers for assis- tance.
 There was foot or more of water in the barn at Munsons, says a report received from that place, and boats were being used to get to the barn. Two years ago a flood carried away great portion of the settlement, which was built right on the bank. The Salcha started to break about a week ago. The ice jammed below the Indian village, and the water started to back up. The Tanana is getting higher all the time, and the situation when the last report was received looked extremely critical.-Fair- banks.

MILLER ON ALASKA.

Former Mayor John F. Miller of Seattle, in announcing his candidacy for the Republican nomination for Congress to succeed Humphrey re- fers to Alaska in these platform words:
 "The repeal of all laws which are
 now retarding the development of
 Alaska and the enactment of such
 measures as will stimulate individ-
 ual enterprise and initiative to the
 greatest possible extent.'
 MT. Miller was one of the first of those to stampede to Dawson in 1897. He got news of the great Klondike strike in February of that year sev- eral months before the arrival of the Portland with a "ton of gold" at Se7 attle, and left shortly afterward for the. scene. Since that time the North land has had warm spot in the heart of this Seattle lawyer and poli- tician.
 Seattle ought to send supporter of the administration to Congress. It's special service to Alaska and the Northwest in addition to it's general service to the country, unparalleled since Lincoln's day, has earned the backing of Seattle. However, if the Puget Sound metropolis is to be rep resented by Republican there would be no tears shed in the North if change were made from Humphrey to Miller.-Empire.

YOUR OPINION.

It may be valuable in your estima- tion, but it is question whether it is worth anything on the market. Everybody has one of his own, and often a number of them. They are usually quite proud of them, and very anxious to air them as often as pos sible; in fact as a rule, the less a person knows about thing the more opinions he has. They are like the pToverbial dogs and children of a poor man.
 Valuable opinions are based on facts and experience. Then they need to be kept while until they are ripe. A person in possession of opinions of this sort is not as anxious to bestow them freely and unsolicited as are the persons who have immature and worthless ones on hand.
 The village grocery is the place, as a rule, where opinions are given out to the public; although once in a while someone hires a hall and un- unloads them upon the public for cash or for public patronage.
 Criticism is the frost that kills opinions; that is; if you put them out before they are ripe. The newspaper, next to the grocery is the bulletin board for opinions; from the ponder ous ones of the editor to those of the timid correspondent, who signs him. self "A Reader" Those, with the news and ads, are about all there is in the paper. Opinions, in this form, make good kindling with which to start a fire in the kitchen range. Some of them are supposed to be explosive, because they contain considerable dynamite, but they are harmless in the stove-and usually, elsewhere.
 The opinions really worth while are not given unsolicited. The people have paid dearly for them and usually get good price for them. It is good investment to buy good opinions, if in need of them, for they often save time, money and trouble. A doctors prescription is his opinion, written in Latin; it usually brings 75 cents. Taken internally, according to direc- tions, it may change your opinion of him, and, it may not.
 A good rule to observe in relation to your opinions, is to keep them un- til they are sought by some one who thinks you know more than they do; then give them sparingly.
