DON'T BE DISCOURAGED.

Encouragement means defeat. The very mental attitude that puts, g man above. these things raises him to the plane of inevitable success. Don't get discouraged. If things do not come your way today, make them dc so tomorrow, and they will, if you go about it right. Refrain from worrying over what has gone amiss. A cheer full and hopeful mind is worth more than great riches, therefore cheer up, as there is always a silver lining to every dark cloud. You will gain absolutely nothing by being pessim- istic. A refusal to look on the dark side of things usually accomplishes as much as genius. Remember, that "can't" is bad enemy and stick to 'T will"

WORK AND PLAY.

We are all familiar with the old adage, ""All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. All play and mo work makes Jack a mere toy" which is another way of saying that work land play should be balanced. The fact that we cannot find job that suits us is no excuse for not working. If one canot find job they should make one There is always something around home that should be done: garden to make, fence to mend, flow CTS and shrubbery to tend. No lack of work for those who wish to work.
 One should discipline themselves to a certain amount, or number of hours of work each day, and hold rig idly to that program, not letting themselves ravel out into an aimless life, bent only on having a good time while someone else earns the living for you.
 When one works regularly and profitably, they have more self-re- spect and enjoy recreation better when play-time arrives. Play soon becomes stale and stupid if one does nothing else. But play following work is real recreation.

STARTING IN LIFE

Young man, let us whisper few words of counsel. We suppose you wish to he rich; most people do. We don't think riches are desirable. We should be sorrye to have inherited wealth. Looking back over the past we can see where it would have been our ruin. But competence is very desirable, is indispensable. well, boys, the way to get it is by fore thought to plan. industry to execute, and prudence to keep the earnings of your work. Get what you honestly earn. but never take more. Money is by no means the best thing in life. You are here in this world to become a good husband, wise and just man, an affectionate man, religious man. Work for your manhood as much as for money; take as much pains to get and as much to keep it. Keep clear of vice. especially intemperance. gam bling and licentiousness. These three ruin thousands of young men every year And, finally, remember, though absent from the sight of dear ones at home, you will ever live in their hearts; and their highest earthly wish will be that you may prove your self a noble man.-Oak Harbor News.

No, Subscriber, the "Antiquation" ticket is not intended to annex all the lands from Lowe river to Mineral Creek. That would extend the boun- daries of our city over our old friend the Senator's private tract. and we won't stand for that. Annexation means to annex the other fellows property; to annex the Dock and the Prospector office and the Light Com pany, and Charlie Crawford and the Valdez Iron Works and few other inconsequential industries. But, we beg of you, not to fear for a minute that the Senator favors: annexation for himself-but he is strong for the other fellow.
 If you had said Anticipated" ticket our readers would have under stood you better; as the issues on that ticket are very, very aged.
 When you go to the polls with your other "gude" friends drop tear and say prayer for the souls of the de- parted. the departed citizens that same old antiquated ticket has run out of business.

STATEHOOD FOR ALASKA.

Yesterday was the forty-ninth an niversary of the purchase of Alaska. Forty-nine years ago Secretary Sew ard paid Russia $7,20O,000 for this vast territory. and was ridiculed by the entire population of the United States for wishing to acquire this great country. Today the wisdom of his action is unquestioned. Alaska has paid back into the United States over $60O,OO0,OO0 i'll exports and is increasing the sum by leaps and bounds. .: :
 Statehood for Alaska would be a great thing if it could only be acquir- ed. but it looks from this distance as though the Territory would be class ed as an Insular possession and nev- CT be allowed more than a commis- sion form of government at best, with the administration designating the commissioners.
 The Territory is amply able to run it's own affairs, and could it be taken from under the patrenal management of the States would quickly become one of the United States richest pos session. But with every natural source of wealth locked up and de- |nied our citizens, and with millions of dollars worth of minerals and fish leaving this country annually with- out paying one cent of revenue to- ward our support, it places us in the position of watching the States lick the platter while our own citizens go hungry.
 The greatest argument advanced against granting statehood to Alaska is her immense size and her lack of population. The latter can easily he overcome by the advent of more peo- ple, but the former will always be a handicap, as it would add an enor- nous cost to the transaction of State business. Could the Territory be di- vided up into four or more territories

GREAT AREA Is PATROLLED

Credit is given to a Los Angeles pa
trolman for covering what is termed
and unquestionably is, the worlds
largest municipal beat. Some time
ago when the San Fernando Valley,
embracing a number of villages and
ranches, was annexed to the city the
people in that territory were promised
adequate police protection. Accord
a traffic officer who had spent
a number of years at a street inter
sec ion in the business zone and was
anxious for a change, was given the
job of watching over the new section
of the city, which includes some 1855
miles of streets. With the aid of a
motor car he is able to make his
rounds about once a month. The area
guarded is approximately 100 miles in
circumference and larger in square
mileage than the remaining part of
the city, which is patrolled by hum
dreds OF bluecoats.-From the June

Near Titusville. Pa, an eastern rail-

hole which exists Immediately beneath

~iodically this hole has been a trouble
source for many years, and only re-
Gently attracted fresh attention when
three cars of a freight train, which
had been brought to n stand over the
place, sank into the ground. In this
case they were subsequently recover-
ed. In the past. however, fortune has
not been so good. Some 20 years ago
five cars settled into the hole and al
though excavations were made they
were never found. On another occa-
sion two horses sank from sight. After
the first accident heavy timbers were
placed across the ground and the bed
rebuilt. \ number of years later the
track again gave way and as a re-
suit was moved to one side. Recently
IL was brought back to its original
place. Many cars of crushed stone
have been dumped into the hole but
apparently with little effect. So far
as is known no g~eologist has explain
ed the cause of the phenomenon.
