Negotiations for House in Juneau Expected to Be Closed this
 Afternoon.
ARE HERE
Observer Summers Has Created Many New Stations in the
 Interior.

M. B. Summers. recently sent to Alaska to establish and take charge of stations to compile the weather statistics of the Territory, returned yesterday on the Mariposa from q trip which took him over the greater part of Alaska. Mir. Summer left Juneau over three months ago and visited points along the Alaskan coast as far west as Dutch Harbor and Unalaska. On his return from the westward he went over the trail into the Interior from Valdez and re- turned by way of Chitina and Cor dova.
 Mir. Summers stated today that ne- gotiations are pending between the owner of one of the large residences of Juneau and himself for the lease of the house for the use of the new weather station. but that negotiations will not be concluded until late this afternoon.
 As soon as the site has been se- cured for the station, the work of installing the instruments will be started and 1t is expected that with in three weeks the Juneau station will be in shape to deliver all statis- tics on the weather of this section.
 J. R. Craven. who arrived in Ju. neau some time ago, will act as as- sistant to Mir. Summers, having been transferred from the Charlotte, North Carolina Station.
 While travelling through the Terri tory, Mir. Summers established new stations at Seldovia. one on the gov, ernment railroad north of Seward, one at Cordova, Chitina, Nenana Hot Springs, and several along the telegraph line to the Interior. Be- sides this work the stations already established were oyerhauled and checked up to insure accurate re- ports in the future.
 Mir. Summers stated this morning that instruments will be supplied to the Governors office at once to take the place of those broken recently, and the weather reports will be se- cured from that station until the new one is in working order.

LANCASTER SPEAKERS
AT c. 0. BANQUET.

Al a banquet given bv the Masons on
Thursday evering of last week at Crab
Orchard the correspondent from that
place has the following to say of two
Lancasterians:
The next speaker introduced by
POSTMASTER, Wyatt. was Mr.. George
W. Smith. Jr., of lancaster, Dis
trict Deputy Grand Master and he
certainly impressed his hearers that
he was thoroughly acquainted with
the great work of his order and con-
versant with its upward climb. Both
he and POSTMASTER WYATT boosted Mr..
George b. Lyme. of Crab Orchard, for
Grand Warden of the Grand Lodge.
Both stated how well worthy MIR. Lyme
was for the position.
Rev. Wyatt then introduced Hon.
r. II. Tomlinson, of Lancaster. We
were expecting grand things from
him and he certainly did not dissapoint
US. A natural orator, the silvery notes
folled in beautiful cadence as he
assembled flight after flight of lofty
mined pictures. He told how, if he
were painter. he would paint upon
canvas Oddfellowship: he would show
the open grave in which the father of
family lay; on one side the widow. on
the other the orphan; then the great
light of Odd Fellowship surrounding,
protecting and caring for them both.
This, he said. was what il meant ito
be an Odd Fellow. Such an order with
such principles. could not be kept down
and today stands without peer. He
spoke of the grand noble women of
Kentucky. not failing to pay tribute to
his own wife, and then his eulogy of
women was perfectly sublime-but at
the very last of his beautiful tribute to
her, he made this assertion He said.
we were told in the Bible that God
made man and that after mans erea-
ton God rested. Then rib was taken
from man and woman was formed; said
there was no record in the Bible that
God rested after he created her. but
one one fact remained-man had had
no rest since she was created.

DON'T NEGLECT YOUR wheat

So much rain has fallen in the last
few days that il should be a warning
to the farmers of the county to pro-
tect their wheat while in the shock,
remembering that last year, owing to
their negligence. thousands of dollars
were lost by improperly shocked wheat.
See that the caps are kept on and in
this way the wheat will be kept rea-
sonably dry, thereby insuring the high
est price for this important product.
Indications are that this cereal will
bring good price this year. although
the crop will fall short in this county,
yet by proper care the amount saved.
will more than make up for the short
age. Farmers remember this and see
II il won't make you money.
