A valuable relic was recently found
in Riggsville, Me-, in the shape of a
large brass eagle, originally made for
a f%igurehead on a ship. 1t weighs 81
pounds, stands 20 inches high, and
measures Is inches from tip to tip. 1t
is known to be more than one hundred
years old. The age is verified by the
fact that the casting was made in two
pieces and then brazed together.

THE STORY HOLMAN GOT
 OFF ABOUT LOST DOG

The following is the story alleged to be told by J. C. Holman to the Se- attle P.-I. of December ,:
 Dennis, a famous Alaska wolf dog possessing a record for saving life that will live long in the nnals of North ern pioneering, is lost. Somewhere in the sunny South he is wandering hung ry, maybe, and dirty but if c. c. Tol- man, veteran guide and hunter of the Kenai, is successful in a search that involves travelling 5000 miles, Dennis will go back to Alaska next spring to a home of ease and luxury.
 Mir. Holman came out from Alaska on the steamer Alameda and will leave for California soon to hunt for Dennis. He is stopping at the Plant CTS hotel while in the city.
 Dennis was born on the shore of Boring sea, south of the delta of the Kuskokwim. His father was a gray timber wolf, his mother a Siwash malamute. Mir. Holman trained Den his to be a leader and more than once the sagacity, bravery and faithfulness of the dog resulted in saving human lives.
 Once when Mir. Holman and his son Chester were crossing the ice of Der ing sea, southeast of Nome, a blizzard came up. The air was full of bying snow, driven hard by the fierce wind Dennis led the dog team safely thro- ugh the storm to the shore and a habitation. Another time the Holman father and son, were crossing the Alaskan peninsula with the dogs The ice on big lake which they were

travelling over broke and the sled, occ- upant and driver were plunged into the water. Dennis maneuvered around circled the open hole and managed the rest of the dogs so that finally the sled and both men were on solid ice again.
 Mir. Holman sold a dog team last year to Bill Brady, who wanted to exhibit malamutes at the exposition in San Francisco. He loaned Dennis to Brady and since that time all trace of the wolf dog has vanished. So strong is the attachment of Mir. Tol- man to the dog that the guide says he will not return until he has found Dennis and taken him back to Alaska.

SECRETARY LANE SAYS
 WE MUST HAVE ROADS

In his annual report to congress Secretary Lane of the interior depart ment says emphatically that Alaska must have wagon roads The follow ing is part of his statement
 "The roads that have been construct ed are not the fine highways of many of the states, but they mark the be- ginning of a system of military and post roads which are of incalculabIe service in the development of the re- gions through which they run. Auto mobiles during the open season nego- tiate the road between Valdez and Fairbanks, and Chitina and Fairbanks making regular trips. The further de- velopment of the mineral, agricultural and other resources of the territory is as much dependent upon the con stuction. Railroads will open to de- yclopment extensive districts, Co be sure, but wagon roads must, in the last analysis, be depended upon to de- velop tonnage for the railroads Through the agency of good roads the natural resources of the territory will be developed; over these roads mail routes will be established, and the present cost of transportation largely reduced, and, therefore, they will be money savers as well as money mak- CTS, for the national wealth will thereby be greatly increased
 "The federal appropriation for roads in Alaska for the present fiscal year was substantially increased, and it is suggested that hereafter Con- gress should appropriate annually not less than $5OO,OOO for this purpose for a period of years It will be an in vestment that will be productive of lasting results. The territorial gov ernment is cooperating with the fed- eral government in the building of roads and trails so far as its means will permit, and it is probable that hereafter the sum available from the territorial treasury will be substanti- ally increased. The expenditures by the Alaska road commission, which is charged with the work of construct ing and maintaining roads and trails in the territory, during the fiscal year amounted to $3OO,72O62, of which Sl35,7OS.S9 was received from the Alaska fund and S165,OOO from special appropriation made by Con- gress. Total mileage, wagon roads and trails, on June 30, 1916 was 2,- 2lG

The Quality of Friendship.

Ralph Waldo Emerson was
good soul. else he would not have
said. The only way TO have
friend is to be one" II doubtless
would distress the sage of Concord
beyond measure were ne capable of
realizing that there is well found
ed suspicion that the art of friend
ship is dying out among us
The friendship of the ancients
was very exactine In mo lern times
we should look a long while for
such mutual regard as that of
Damon and Pathlas.
Friendship in our crowded days
covers a wider area. but as in the
case of all extensive development
it has lost its intensity, Instead of
friendships We have visiting lists.
Not those whom We love. but those
whom we would propitiate, we in.
vite to dinner Those who would
propltiate us invite US in turn and
permit usto eat their food and air
our views
We live. alas. in the suburbs of
each others hearts
The man without friends. or at
the least without one dependable
friend, can accomplish very little
in this world. Depending on his
own strength alone. his miGhtiest
endeavOrs are as nothing AT har,
vest time he gathers nothing but
leaves.
But the man with friends
strong friends, true friends and 10y
al friends who have confidence in
his Integrity aud ability to do things

they will follow him, aud all work.
ing together unltedly bring victor Y.
| This is the reason why some men
achieve great success with moderate
ability, while their more brilliant
competitors fall short.
This is true in every business and
profession. 1t does not matter so
much whether a man has enemies
or not as that he has true friends
who will never desert him
To have loyal friends is worth all
else. To have friends who can be
depended on is to gain success ia
life.
But there is one thing &c be borne
in mind: To have true friends you
must be one. The quality of loyal
ty you get depends on the qualit,
you give.
