meet all the American demands on
this issue and which, if accepted. will
end that controversy.
Great Britain has answered tenta-
lively the American protest against
the delaying of mails. but will reply
more fully to the representations as
soon as France has signified her ap-

B|C FORCE MEN WILL REBUILD
 |CE-BREAKER

Engineer A. c. O'Neil planned to leave Seattle last night on the steam CT Alameda, to begin the work of re constructing an ice-breaker at Mile 49. His foreman, Charles A. McDon- aid, and a crew of bridge men are now oF their way here, having left Seattle on the freighter Cordova last Monday. This boat is also bringing 150,O0O feet of lumber for use in building the caisson.
 Before MT. O'Neil returned to the States on a recent steamer, to assem- ble his equipment and force, he said he wanted to begin work at the bridge early in February. It will require about 15O men and take three months to complete the work. As much as possible of the labor needed will be secured here, and the rest brought up from Seattle.

B|C JUMP IN FOOD STUFFS SINCE
 JULY, 1914

LONDON, Jan. 20. - Food prices in England show general increase of A per cent since the war began, ac- cording to statistics by the Board of Trade. Sugar is double the price it commanded in July, 1914, tea is about 50 per cent dearer British meat has increased 40 per cent, and imported meat 50 per cent, flour 45 per cent, bread 40 per cent, and bacon, milk. butter and cheese about 30 per cent. Taking the country as a whole and considering the relative importance of the various foods, the difference in the cost of maintaining the table in home of moderate circumstances is A per cent higher than before the war.
 Between November 1 and December 1, 1915, retail prices of food rose less than per cent. The average in crease between the prices of Decem- Der 1. 1915, and the same date of 1914 show an average rise of 24 per cent
 Figures compiled by the Berlin mu- nicipal statistical bureau show that in Berlin between November 1 1914, and November 1, 1915, the cost of ordinary

DOPE ON THE RAILROAD
 SITUATION

Secretary of Interior Lane has telegraphed to the Seward Gateway as follows:
 "I hope that we shall receive emer- gency appropriation by February l. The house committee will report it out next Tuesday"
 The above was in answer to this query:
 Would you kindly rush wire col lect for publication status railroad emergency appropriation? Is it cer- tain? Is there opposition?"
 And this brings forth the following criticism:
 "It will be noticed that the Gateway asked MT. Lane to say whether or not there is any opposition, but the secretary of the interior ignores the question. He probably regards it as sufficient to say that he hopes for the emergency appropriation imme- diately, as this would show that even if some opposition were shown. as 30 very often happens for political req sons, it would be powerless to prevent the granting of the money. As the house committee will report out next Tuesday, MT. Lane undoubtedly knows that it will report favoraby or he would never have expressed the hope of the granting of the appropriation so quickly"
 The Gateway also wired it's Wash ington correspondent as to the facts in connection with the emergency ap- propriation, and received the follow ing reply.
 No opponents of the appropriations for the continuation of the work on the Alaska railroad have yet brought their fight into the open. Some op- position is expected however, but this opposition will come from men who have always opposed the rail road. Senator Knute Nelson, of Min nesota, is spoken of as being the leader in the opposition, and there will be some others, but no one but Re publicans have so far been mentioned as opposed so that the opposition is looked upon as political thunder. Sec retary Lane declares that the house appropriations committee will not de- lay the matter"
 All of which leads the Gateway to comment as follows
 "It is said that the opponents have secured affidavits alleging faults have been discovered in the work and mis takes in the selection of the route, but nothing is positively known, and the friends of the measure are absolutety confident that Congress will authorize the granting of the emergency fund by February. Lane is urging the quick granting of it. It is necessary, he says, because the work is far ahead of schedule, and delay might wreck the whole plan. The friends of the measure also say that whatever oppo- sition might show up will just be to serve selfish interests and that this fact is so we'll known that it will have no effect"

CHINESE UNABLE AGREE NEW
 CABINET

PEKING, Jan. 20. - Chinese off cials are speculating as to the pro bable composition of the cabinet af- ter the restoration of the monarchy. It is generally believed that the pre- sent premier, Hsu Shi Chang, will re fuse to continue as premier after the emperor ascends the throne This is because he served under the Tsing dynasty, and cannot well explain to the Chinese public how it is possible to serve another master. Furtns, = more, Yuan Shi Kai was subordinate to him under the Tsings; the revision of their position would be almost un- thinkable to the Chinese. It is rum ored that Hsu Shin Chang may con sent to become premier some time after the restoration of the monarchy, but does not feel that he can assume that position at the very beginning of the prospective dynasty.

o Where the dolls asleep in the chairs, o
Q Where the building blocks and the toy balloon, o
Q And the soldiers guard the stairs;
q Let me step in the house where the tiny cart o
o With its horses rules the floor,
- And the rest comes into my weary heart Q
Q For home once more
q Give me the house with the toys about,
y With the battered old train of cars, Q
q The box of paints and the books left o
q And the ship with her broken spars; o
o Let me step in a house the close of day o
Q That is Uttered with chdrens toys
Q And dwell more in the haunts of play
Q With the echoes of bygone days.
Q Give the house where the toys are seen
o The house where the children romp
Q And I'll happier be than has been Q
Q Meath the gilded dome Of pomp
@ Let see the litter Of bright-eyed play
Q Strewn the paror floor,
Q And the joys knew ina far-of day
Q Will gladden. my heart more
o Whoever has lived in toy-strewn home
Q Though feeble he be and gray,
o Will yearn, matter how far he roam, o
Q For the glorious dsarray
O Of the little home with IT, Uttered floor
Q That was his in the bygdhe days, o
o And his heart will throb as it throbbed before o
Q When he rests where a baby plays O.
