MEN PERSIST IN GOING ID
 ANCHORAGE

Although Lieut.. Mears. commission CT in charge of construction on the government railroad, has warned per sons looking for work not to go to Anchorage, many men from Cordova and other adjacent twns are prepar- ing to take the next boat for the west.
 It is said by men returning from Anchorage that the town already Is overrun by workmen of all kinds, and that unless one already has promise of employment it is unwise for man to go there.
 The same condition. it is said, pre- vails at Seward. and the advice given by all is that if man has a job now anywhere in the north, he will be wise to hang on to it and not figure on get ting work with the railroad commits sion.

SAILING VESSEL |S PRESSED INTO
 SERVICE

Called into the northern route by the great cargo movement that has set in from Seattle to Alaska, the two-mast schooner Halcyon, once the private yacht of John D. Spreckles, the San Francisco millionaire, and later notorious all over the Pacific as a smuggler, has sailed for Anchorage, Cook Inlet, with 150 tons of cargo, says the Seattle Times of April IA. She was equipped recently with 160 horse power Dock engine, capable of developing a speed of seven miles an hour, so that she will not have to rely on her sails altogether.
 The HalcyOn is the first sailing vessel to enter the Southwestern Al. aska trade out of Seattle since the advent of the steamship in that route She is now owned by Norwegian resi- dents of Seattle. but has been chart cred by J. P. Rudd, a well known ship ping man. Her cargo consists princi pally of wallpaper and plaster for houses to be built in Anchorage.
 Built especially for Spreckles, the Halcyon passed here first years as a yacht in San Francisco bay, and ad- iacent waters. After Spreckles sold her she changed ownership a number of times and then fell into the hands of an opium smuggling ring, carrying the forbidden product from China to the Hawaiian islands. It is estimated that she smuggled opium to the value of $1.0O0OOO into the Islands during her illegal career. Government yes sels chased her all over the mid pacific, but she always managed to scape. She was purchased by Seat tie residents last autumn and brought to Seattle from San Francisco.

GILT EDGE
 BEER MAKES FINE DISPLAY.

There is very attractive window display at the Horseshoe, in which the Ruhstaller Gilt Edge beer is featured. The fresh hops and malt, from which this beverage is brewed, form the background and samples of the fin ished product are also in evidence. The display was arranged by w. K. Martin, the Alaska representative of the Sacramento brewery, which is now doing a nice business in Cordova.

GRADUATE LARGEST CLASS.
Mrs. McCarter Will Deliver Com
mencement Address at Valley Falls.

Valley Falls, Kan, May 15.-The
Valley Falls high school will hold its
thirtieth annual commencement ex-
ercises May %. Mrs. Margaret Hill
McCarter will give the address. The
class numbers 81 and is the largest In
the history of the high school.
Harry Mcclure has been the super
intendent for the past eight years and
Miss Maud Myers has been principal
for Is years. Both are leaving the in
stitution after this year. Mr.. MCGUIRE
has been elected superintendent of
schools at Kiowa, Kan, and will take
up his duties there August 1. Miss
Myers will spend next year in Califor-
mia and the Pacific states taking a
much needed rest.
The following will finish the four
year course: William Hammond, Rich
ard Kerr. Floyd Mick, Edward Lynn,
Milton SCHNEIDER, Percival Spence,
Freda Abbuehl Marie Dean, Coral Ell
lis, Esther Gettler Ethel Glenn, Rosa

Ida Mcclure, Helen Martin, Gladys
Mitchell, Virginia Mitchell, Lille
Nichols, Sunshine Owens, Lottie Potts,
Mae Ramsey, Nellie Runkle, Josephine
Samson, Una SCHNEIDER, Edna Turner,
Pearl White.
Miss Edna Turner is president of the
class. Miss Sunshine Owen has an en-
viable record in school She has gone
to school fourteen years and has new
er been absent a day and neither has
she a tardy mark against her. 1t Is
rather doubtful if many graduates
from high school this year have such
good record.

METAL IN SAM?
Aluminium Along Arkansas
Valley, Says Aged Inventor.
Claims to Have Process for Elk.
tracing Product.

Hutchinson, Kan. May 15.-Kansas
may become the seat of a big alumni
mum reduction works if B. j. Hobson,
a veteran mechanic, has not made any
mistakes in his calculations.
Hobson, who is 50 years old, and
has been spending the greater part of
those S8 years in mechanical expert
menting, believes he has discovered a
method of extracting aluminium from
the sand along the Arkansas river
bottom by a simple process.
aluminium is a valuable metal, and
Mr.. Hobson claims the sand along this
valley is rich in the metal. The pres
ent processes of. extraction are so ex-
pensive that the aluminium cannot be
profitably obtained, but Hobson be-
lieves he has discovered the secret
of it.
4It is an electric process" said Mr..
Hobson, but it is not by electrolysis.
1 can't enter into the details of it, for
1 have not secured the patent, but I
can extract the aluminium from the
sands here at cost of but a few cents
per pound"
Mr.. Hobson says he has found a
man who will put up the money to
develop his idea, the financing has
been done, no stock will be sold, but
a start will be made and a plant will
be erected

BOYS FOUR PER CENT BAD.
Three Grades of Idiots Named by DR.
Goddard.

Emporia, Kan, May 15-"Bad
boys" average about four to every one
hundred school children. This in
cludes boys who skip, use tacks and
bent pins in the approved bad boy
method, refuse to study, and pull their
sisters hair. 1t also includes the men
tai detectives. Two out of every one
hundred school children" says DIR. H.
H. Goddard of the Vineland New Jer-
sey Training school in the forthcom-
ing issue of the Kansas Normal school
journal Teaching, ARE mentally de-
fective.' Mental detectives says DIR.
Goddard, ARE not really bad boys, but
many that we think are bad are real
ly mentally defective" This means
that two out of every four so called
bad boys are mentally defective.
There are three grades of idiots ac-
cording to DR.. Goddard, two of which
may be found in the schools. The idiot
proper has mentality below that of
two year old child. The imbecile
never goes beyond the mentality of an
eight year old child. The moron, the
highest class of the feeble minded, has
a mentality of eight to twelve years.
There has been an old-fashioned
idea, says DR.. Goddard that every
child can learn if he will. This is a
mistake, many of the poor students,
the bad boys are feeble minded and
should not be in school with the rest
There are children who cannot do
eighth grade work, seventh grade
work or even first grade work.
The Binet test is the way to dis
cover feeblemindedness, according to
DR.. Goddard. There is no cure for the
feebleminded. The only possible treat
ment is kindnes, a school or class by
themselves, and what training they are
fitted to take. 1t may take a year to
teach an i'm beetle to wash his hands
and another year to comb his hair
Never mind says DR.. Goddard
these are fundamental things that
must be taught Since feebIemind-
edness is hereditary, the school must
undertake the training, for the home
is as often feebIeminded as the child

Mrs. Lila Day Monroe Relates
Incident of Trip Abroad.
English Statesman Told Her
That Wilson Was Easy"
DIDN'T LIKE TEDDY ROOSEVELT
He Was Too Strict With Eng
land in Favor of America.
A Forceful Story Told by a
Staunch T. r. Friend.

Mrs. Lila Day Monroe, widely
known Topeka club woman and prom
inent in state and national suffrage
campaigns. is out for Roosevelt-first,
herself And Mrs. Monroe's faith
in the Colonel ever slipped, it became
the more positive following a recent
trip abroad. 1t was on that trip that
Mrs. Monroe learned the true value
which Europe puts on American
presidents. And right there Mrs
Monroe decided to tell her story to
as many of the 100000 legal WON
en- voters of her country as possible.
When Mrs. Monroe went abroad she
went with a firm desire to gather a
true understanding of British politics
and to study through comparison,
conditions in the two countries IL
was in this search for facts that Mrs
Monroe learned that England pre-
ferred the Wilson administration 10
that of Roosevelt. Pressed for an ex-
PLANTATION, an old friend who had
sworn to tell of conditions without
prejudice, confided that dealings with
the Bourbon president were far easier
than the negotiations which were
sought when Roosevelt presided at the
White House. And now Mrs. Monroe
has concluded most emphatically that
a president who pleases England with
such marked ease, is not of necessity
the president to please an American
constituency in days of international
trials and difficulties.
Recently Mrs. Monroe wrote of her
trip abroad. She mentioned most
forcefully her experience with the
Englishman and told from a woman s
viewpoint the true argument for re-
turn to the Roosevelt method of han
ding foreign affairs. Mrs. Monroe
said:
What Mrs. Monroe Says.
One thing that 1 most wished to do
while seeing England, was to learn to
read intelligently British politics. 1
had never been able to read British
news intelligently. Understandings so
set for myself that stint.
One of the easiest ways to study the

MEXICAN WORKERS SCARCE.
Railroads Have Hard Time Getting
Men for Section Gangs.

Lawrence, Kan, May 15.-The
Santa Fe and Union Pacific railroads
are experiencing some difficulty in
getting men for track work both on
regular section crews and extra steel
gangs MeXicans have been the chief
standby of these railroads in this kind
of work.
The Santa Fe has been planning to
change rails on the track from Noria
to Topeka for several months. Also
to change the rails on the branch line
which goes from Lawrence to Ottawa.
The commissary department that
furnishes supplies to the Mexican
workmen sent a car to Lawrence two
months ago. Up to this time the COM
missary clerk has had no gang to sup
ply. Another car was stationed at
Noria for some time and later moved
to Lawrence to give the conmissary
clerk chance to break the monotony
of writing mo gang" across his sales
report.

SHOT COP BY MISTAKE
PatroInnan in Role of Thug at Bur-
lesqne Was Taken Seriously.

New York, May 15.-Practica1 jok-
ing and police work make poor COM
bination. Patrolman Christopher Ri
ley was shot and seriously wounded
while playing his part in one of the
most spectacular stunts of the an
nual police parade here. Riley,
dressed as a thug, rushed out of the
crowd in front of the reviewing stand
and fired two blank cartridges at Po-
lice Matron Durie. This was the cue
for the police dogs to be brought on to
trail him through the crowd. But
Just as he raised his revolver to fire
the blanks, Patrolman John F. Kill
roy, thinking the play real, unlim-
bered his automatic and put a hole in
Rileys cheek. Police Commissioner
Woods had planned the mock assault
on the police matron as surprise. 1t
