PART OF THE NEW ALASKAN
RAILROAD IS IN OPERATION
Famous Matanuska Coal Fields Opened
Up by Uncle Sans Engineers
Sooner Than Expected.

Uncle Sans new Alaskan railroad
is now in operation. At least It is
open for traffic now for a distance of
Il miles and coal is being carried from
the famous Matanuska coal fields to
tidewater at anchorage.
The first coal carried bv the new
road was loaded onto train at the
DOherty mine at Moose Creek. The
Importance of this event was evident
~ appreciated by the pioneers i'm the
territory, for there was a large crowd
or men, women and children on the
scene when the loading of the coal
from the bunkers to the cars was he
gun. A special train, that had been
chartered by the Anchorage chamber
OF commerce, carried an enthusiastic
party of citizens from that city and
vicinity. Chairman William C. Edes
and Lieutenant Mears of the Alaskan
engineering commission, which is in
charge of the construction of the rail-
road, were also in attendance, as was
Bishop Rowe of Alaska.
The honor of dumping the first car
load of coal from the bunkers to the
train was enjoyed by Miss Babe White
OF Anchorage, who also has the distinc-
lOn of having driven the first spike
on the railroad. 1t was pointed out
that the governments railroad had en-
tered the coal fields at much earlier
date than had been expected.
The opening of these coal fields is
regarded as q most important benefit
10 both ALASKA and the Pacific north
west. 1t means cheaper fuel for that
general country, and it is confidently
predicted that it will be followed by
new industrial and mining expansion.

Mr.. C. e. DOnohOue, the brilliant
war correspondent, who succeeded in
wiring the fullest and quickest de-

Lisbon to Vi9o. was kept in Tokyo
recently much longer than he wanted.
He was making a survey of the
East, intending to reach the Russian
front via Serbia. and had trouble in
the difficult journey.
He tells this story:
"a little Japanese policeman who
had been watching me glanced fur
lively at conversation handbook,
and then crossed and spoke in Eng

L remember that, on one occasion,
when l was speaking to u public off
cial about the road bill and suggested
that we ought to begin with a modest
initial appropriation of three, four or
five millions of dollars, he expressed
surprise and said that such an amount
would not get us anywhere; that the
expenditure by the nation of q few
millions of dollars for roads wouId be
merely trifling with the matter. I
asked him If he knew what the people
of the nation were contributing an
nually for road building, that the ma
tion was already eXpending the euuiva-
lent of nearly half of what the Panama
canal has cost. Of course he did not

MISSOURI MOTTO WORLDWIDE
All Persons Want to Be Shown, Thus
Proving Themselves Human
Beings.

The Connecticut youth who bit into
golf ball displayed a thoroughly hu-
man curiosity. He wished to prove for
himself whether what he had heard
| about the deadliness of the core was
| true. From the time manufacturers
began making the present style of ball
they have warned people against its
danger
A boy begins his experiments when
against the admOnitiOns of his parents
he burns his fingers on hot plate.
He continues them when he takes his
first watch to pieces to see how the
wheels go round. A Californian. who
declared that snake venom could not
possibly be fatal to a man, recently
permitted himself to be bitten by a
newly discovered serpent scientists de-
clared was deadly. He succeeded in
proving that the snake expert was
right. Many folks have always mis-
trusted sea stories about the man-eat-
ing prOclivities of the shark. Before
another year has passed there will be
those who will insist on more proof
than has just been furnished on the
Jersey coast.
The motto of Missouri is the motto
not of a state, but of humanity. All
want to be shown. Men undertake ad-
ventures in political, social and busi-
ness life, risk their lives in scientific
experiments in unknown, dangerous
lands because they believe that they
can succeed where others have failed. |
If they did otherwise they would not
be human.-New York Sun.

Vegetable Diet

There is no doubt that human beings
can get along very well on vegetable
diet. Some of the strongest men in
the world (the Oriental porters) live
almost wholly on rice and the various
fruits. The horse and the OK, noted
for their strength, are purely vege.

be strong one must devour great stores
of meat is no longer considered scien.

Ing more and more Indifferent to the
things that normal child should care
about. But the injury TO Jeanie was
the cultivation of the attitude that took
for granted the satisfaction of every
desire and every whim. To have al
lowed Jeanie to cry after Bessie went
to her party, to have reprimanded her
for injuring Bessies property, to have
left her without more cake after her
own was eaten, would have helped her
more than the indulgences she re-
ceived.
A household consisting of adults and
children of various ages is u complex
establishment to manage, and it takes
thought and tact and insight to allot
to each what is his due. And in con-
sidering what is due to children, we
must not overlook their share of edu-
catiOn-the education which comes
through neglect and disappointment,
as well as that which comes through
sympathy and encouragement.
