CAPITAL LOCATED
 AT JUNEAU BY ACT
 SIXTEEN YEARS AGO

In his speech at Juneau the other night Delegate James Wickersham oaid in enumerating the things which he has accomplished since he be- came Delegate to Congress, was the location Of the capital of the Terri tory of Alaska at Juneau.
 The record shows that the capital was located at Juneau through act of Congress of June 6, 1900, nearly nine years before the Delegate wao put on the national pay roll as the representative of the people of Alas ka, and more than that long before he took the oath of office.
 This was the same act that ereat- ed the judsship to fllI which Judge Wiekersham later carried commis- sion in his carpetbas when he first came to Alaska.
 Under the terms of thio act, the headquarters of the United States District Court were transferred to Juneau in the year 1900. In 1904 Capt. D. H. Jarvis, when appointed Col leetor of Customs, transferred the customs house here. When Gov. w. 3. Hogsatt succeeded Gov. Brady as chief executive of the Territory, during the administration of Presi- dent Roosevelt, one of the first acts was to complete the work by moving the executive offices. the Surveyor Generals office and that of the Sec retary of the Territory, and other inc stitutions which made Juneau the ac- tual as well as the legal capital of Alaska.
 Delegate Netherlands act, which recognized an existing condition but added nothing to it, was passed in 1912.

IT COMES HIGH.

Ii costs a country newspaper money
every time it takes a stand on any
question. says the Shelbyvile Record.
Almost any citizen besides a news
paper man can do it without injuring
his business. IL the editor advocates
improvements, the sore heads go after
him and sometimes stop their paper
If he opposes improvements the pro-
gressive sort get on him and call him u
back number and a knocker. II he
publishes politics, the opposition gets
into his hair, and il he does not. he is
charged with being afraid to stand out
for his opinion. II he condemns mail
order houses, there are some people
who ask him to attend to his own bust
ness, as they have a right to trade
where they please. II he publishes q
msil-order ad, some of the merchants
are after his gore. No country paper
can come out squarely without making
enemies and losing money. and in tn,
run of year or more will incur som,
criticism for everybody. The newspa
per that undertakes to please evsrybod'

POPULAR TOBACCO BUYERS
Large Part OF Garrards Crop Being
Handled By {. A. Speith and Company

Although Garrard County's tobacco
crop will fall short about two millions
pounds this year on account of its light
weight and reduction in acreage over
last year, G.. A. Speith and Company,
who have been buying here for several
years, are getting even more than their
share of the crop in this county and
quite bit from other counties beside.
Judging from the number of loaded
wagons seen on the street in front of
the Warehouse every day, one would
think we had few loose leaf houses
here of our own. This in not ALL for
this year they have established branch
house at Pant Lick and hundreds of
loads are coming into this enterprising
little hamlet every week. No one is
ever disappointed with the price he
gets from Billy Speith or Jake Graw
and he knows before he leaves the barn
just what that price will be. They
have hundreds and hundreds Of custo-
mers in this section who have sold chem
their crops for years and no induce
ments can be offered them to try other
| markets.

.EUROPE'S SCARED SURFACE

For nearly year and half ten mill
lion men have been engaged in tearing
up the surface of European battle
fronts. Most of this land was formerly
devoted to agriculture. Who will
restore it to its former condition, and
when? II has been estimated, that al
lowing for first. second. third and up 10
seventh line trenches which exist on
some of the fronts, there are ten thous-
and miles of underground and open de-
fenses in Europe today. In addition to
these gaping mutilations of a once fair
landscape, the earth has been pitted
and peck marked by millions of shells
and thousands of exploded miners.
There have been dug hundreds of miles
of tunnels. which one day will cave in
and further scar the land. The
husbandman who follows the soldier in
to these desolate acres will face for.
lorn prospect.

EASTER NOT TILL APRIL.

Easter comes later this year than it
has since 1905. April % is the date of
the end OF. Lent. Easter Sunday was
the same date in 1905. Easter will not
come as late as April % again until
l9i3, when it will be two days later.
April %. In 1886 Easter Sunday fell
on April 25, the latest date for Easter
from 1901 until 1000. In the year 1000
Easter Sunday will be on April %.
With the exception of 1913 there will
be no Easter Sunday as late as April
% until 1000
Coming on April %. Easter Sunday,
will be nineteen days later than last
year. Next year it will be fifteen days
earlier. In the retail business world
Easter furnishes the greatest spring
stimulus. Spring will almost be over
by the time Easter arrives and this
great religious holiday will almost mark
the beginning of early summer this
year because of its lateness.

BEAzLEY BROTHERS
Buy Famous Farm In Favette.

The following from the Lexington
Leader is of interest to their friends in
this county. where they resided, up
to few years ago.
Shenandoah Hail., one of the most
beautiful and historic of the Bluegrass
country estates, which for many years
has been the home of Solomon l.. Van
Meter. former member of the Legisla-
ture from this county, has been sold by
the latter to W. S. and X. A. Beazley,
from whom C. b. Schaeffer. the Chi
csgo trotting horse reeder. recently
bought the noted McGrathiana stock
farm. The Van Meter farm is three
miles from Lexington. on the Bryan's
Station pike. and is considered one of
the best in Fayette county. comprises
approximately 700 acres and is all in
grass. 1t is beautifully situated in one
of the historic sections of the Bluegrass
country, being only short distance
from the famous Bryan Station spring,
near which the pioneer fort of that
name stood, and in addition to other
improvements has an attractive modern
residence of fifteen rooms, built of
brick, with stone trimmings. erected
about fifteen years ago by Mr.. Van
Meter.
The deal for the purchase of the
property has teen pending for several
weeks, but has just been brought to
successful conclusion. The price paid
for the farm was not made public, but
it is understood to have brought in the
of SOS an acre. or Sl75,-
900. The purchasers. by the terms of
the sale, are to get possession March /.
X. A. Beazley confirmed the report
of the purchase. and stated that he and
his brother had bought the place as
home.
I'VE have admired this place for sew
eral wears and believe that We have in
it fully as desirable a farm as McGrath-
lana, which We sold last summer to {.
b. Schaeffer. of Chicago. Primarily
We purchased it as home, but we in
tend to convert it into a cattle and
horse farm. BY the terms of the pur-
chase, We get possession March /. The
farm ia all in grass and is well adapted
for the purpose for which we pur-
chased it. ;"
The Beazley brothers, who are bach
elors. came here about six years ago
from Garrard county. where they had
made success in handling horses and
raising export cattle. ana bought Of
Col Milton Young his noted stock farm
McGrathiana, on the Newtown pike.
There they embarked extensively in
the business of raising cattle and hor-
SEES, at the same time improving the
farm and making it more valuable.
Since they sold it to Mr.. Schaeffer, the
Chicago millionaire clubman and horse.
man. they have been looking around
for another farm in this section. anc
their purchase Of Shenandoah Hal
means that they will continue As ctizeni
Of Fsyette county. Both are excellen
citizens, enterprising and energetic il
the pursuit Of their business.
