when the members of the crew Of the
other barge cried for help in the water
Turning from the barge which they
had boarded the Goa st guards FASTENED
to the scene of the wreck Before they
could reach it the cries had ceased
and only one body was found
The life savers were unable to learn
the identity of either barge. The hail
ing port Philadelphia was read across
the stern of one, and it was believed
they were carrying ccal from that city
or from a Della ware or Virginia port
for Boston, when the tug which had
them in tow was overpowered by the
storm.
The tug disappeared soon after the
two targes drfted in shore, probably
herself in distress.
a third barge, which apparently
formed part of the tow, also was lost
to sight, but it was thought she had
weathered the storm.

 To be sure this does not begin to approximate the length of the list, but when you pause to consider the number of things one woman can think of to talk about, then multiply that by twenty thousand and start them all up with the avowed purpose of talking why, no wonder.

WILL EMPLOY OVER 4.o0O MEN

!
 With a satisfactory labor supply and good weather conditions, Chair man w. c. Edes of the Alaskan En- gineering Commission hopes to have in operation nearly one-third of the laska by November i. It is the hope of the commission that the work on the railroad can be pushed to the Matan- uska coal fields by fall.
 | What the opening of this railroad will mean in the development of AL aska is merely a matter of conjecture, but the fact that a town of 1900 has grown up at Anchorage, one of the terminals of the railroad, since the announcement of the route, indicates that the development of the north country wl4A De great when the road finally is completed.
 During the coming season it Is planned to construct about 150 miles which will comprise a connecting line between the Alaska Northern Rail- way, now owned by the government, and the lines under construction, "a branch line running from Anchorage into the Matanuska coal fields and several miles of ranroad running out of Fairbanks the proposed northern terminal of the lines.
 The construction of this railroad is a tremendous engineering task. At Broad Pass the lines will run through a stretch of twelve miles of almost solid rock, wh---. will entail the building of numerous tunnels. the ,ngest of which will be HOO feet. At Broad Pass. also, there will have to be constructed 0 steel bridge l3Oh feet in length and at Fairbanks sey- eral smaller bridges will be bu,lt.
 Under favorable conditions, by May 1. 40OO men will be employed on the construction work. al. .. more than a million dollars worth of machinery taken to Alaska from the Panama ca nal zone will be in operation.
 Although 22 miles of rail already have cen laid between Matanuska and Anchorage, no attempt has been made to operate it. However, dur ing the present winter the Alaskan comm9ss!un has been operating the Alaska Northern. which the govern ment has taken over. for distance of 34 miles out of Seward Three trains a week have been run over the line and the operations have been finan- cial success, since the cost of mainte- nance is not included in the operating expenses. Before the Alaska North ern railway can be operated to the full extent of it's 71 miles, a large a- mount of repair work will have to be done. and this will he undertal- en during the coming sum ner.
 If the present plans of the c". rmis sion materialize and a force ci 4ODO men is put to work it is believed that q large part of this force will locate in Alaska and take advantage of Its r. ineral and agricultural wealth, ant thus the first step in the deve'op' ent of the country will have been ac-

just. because cotton seeds are
bringing about twice as much
as they usually do, farmers
must not overlook the fact that
next years planting seed should be

a much larger proportion Of the

there will be a shortage. hext year.
It is also suggested that. farmers
having exceptionally good seed
may find advantageous to save
more than enough to fill their own
