Rumsnia's chief reason for enter
ing the war Is the hope OF annexing
TO her present territory the two Aus
TRAN provinces OF Transatlantic and
Bukowina. They are inhabited large
ly by Rumanians While all the 9th
er Balkan states are interested in
securing land in the Balkan penin-
sula. Rumania's aspirations lie to
the north.
Still another factor separates Ru-
mania from the other Palkan states,
that OF race. The Rumanian prides
himself on being Of Latin origin and
traces his stock back 10 one Of the
colonies sent out by Emperor Ira
Jan. It il partly for this reason that
RuInania has always looked 10 Italy
for political guidance while the 9th
or Balkan states, being largely Of
Slav origin, have turned their eyes
toward Russia.

R.. w. Roberts of Anchorage, .

R.. w. Roberts of Anchorage, a construction engineer with the gov ernment railway, tells tale of ter rible sufferings borne by the Beau Brummels of the mushroom Alaskan town through the inability of late arriving steamers to deliver the la test fall and winter styles in clothes. MT. Roberts says that the only pri- vation endured by anybody is the compulsory wearing of i'll assorted clothes and that, while there is plen- ty of clothes of kind, the leaders of fashion can see nothing but misery ahead for the rest of the winter. It is now nothing uncommon, says MT. Roberts, for a former best dresser to slink about the streets in ready made suit that f1aunts all the jarring colors in the spectrum, due to the fact that no coat or pair of trousers on the store shelves match each other.

A Trsasurs, Holding In Her Hands tt,
 Destiny of Postsrity.
 When a woman enters the marriage relat ion her sphere of influence is ai once extended, and her horizon is no longer bounded by the people and cir cumstances of the moment
 She is building for posterity. In the Joy and thoughtfulness which charac' terize her mind in the new relation there is prophecy of unborn genera tions. Her life Is to color other lives; her aspirations are to fix to great ex' tent the position and future of hus' bund and family.
 If she is cultured, pure and refined these qualities will characterize the home which she creates. The higher the degree of her culture. her purity, her refinement. the more will these qualities characterize the home of which she is the center.
 The personality that d woman takes with her in her marriage is her real dover. If her dover can be reckoned in numerals only. no matter how many they be. wrecked indeed will be her husband. impoverished her children.
 But if she possesses industry. gen. tleness. self abnegation. purity and in telligence. combined with capability, she is in herself treasure of treas- ures.-New York Weekly.

 '0F ALASKAN TRADE
San Francisco Merchants are Absorb ing the Freight Charges on Orr
 ders to Seattle.

Alaska trade, which now amounts to nearly $1O0,OO0,000 a year, has attracted the attention of wholesale houses of San Francisco to such an extent that they have launched dc termined campaign to get slice of it
 Every effort is being made by the commercial organizations of Califor' mia to institute direct steamship ser vice with Alaskan ports and it is be- lieved by many Golden Gate mer' chants that this will be achieved this season.
 The success of the project depends upon the trade that can be secured and a strong effort is being made tc build up a demand for California products before boat is put on the run. To this end California mer. chants are offering to pay the freight from San Francisco to Seattle on all goods ordered to such time as a dir. ect service is started.
 By absorbing the coastwise char ges this gives them a chance to com. pete with Seattle on prices on all caned goods, in which California ex. cels in quality. The brewing com' panies which were. forced out o1 Washington state when prohibition went into effect last January are also doing everything possible to encour- age the establishment of direct ser vice between San Francisco and Alas. ka.
 Putting on direct boat to Los An. geles and San Francisco involves con- siderable difficulty at present owing to the great demand for vessels of every description. But the project has been launched, and it is up to Alaskans and California commercial bodies to help. Markets should be secured in California for Alaska pro- ducts, including fresh and salt fish, Alaskan marble and mineral products to provide freight for the return trip. A through boat to San Francisco will give an opportunity to ship smelling ores direct to San Francisco smelters in competition with the Tacoma plant.

DRUNKEN SOLDIER TRIED
 TO BURN HAYNES JAIL.

J. w. Coombs, deputy marshal at f1aines, has written Marshal Bishop of Juneau an account of the partial burning of the jail there as follows:
 Frank Craig, a soldier, was arrest ed for being drunk and disorderly. He tore 8 hole in the mattress and set 1t on fire. It was discovered and quickly put out. Craig was then placed in the cell and the deputy marshal told the guard to not leave the building and to watch him close iy. The guard was in the office when he noticed smoke again. Craig had gathered together excelsior and set 1t on fire and the whole place was in flames. It was with difficulty that he was rescued alive. The deputy said $1O0 would probably cover the dam age.

In spite of it's clumsy build the hip l,opotamus can trot fast. That is why he is called ''river horse." The hippo's feet are kept far apart by the wide body and make paths with a ridge down the middle, recognizable at once. Hippos swim very we'll, but go ut their greatest speed when they can gallop along the bottom In shallow water. They can stay under water long time, and when they come to the sur face they send little jets of. spray from their nostrlls. The COW is de- voted to the calf.

Why Should They Not Be Called Alike

 It is perhaps too much 10 expect that a universal meridian or universal time will ever be established. still less that we shall have universal money or q universal secondary language. All these things might be brought about if we could only get rid of our preju' dices.
 It is not, however, too much to hope that the present confusion of place names should be got rid of Why the English and the French should per sistently describe as Cologne and Mayence. cities which their own in habitants never call anything but Koln and AIain2. it is difficult to understand. and there is certainly no excuse for our pronouncing the name of the Ba. varian capital as "Munick.' as if In scorn of the dwellers therein. who call it. as nearly as English letters will reproduce the sound.

ALASKA PROGRESS

The report of Manager J. L. Me- Pherson, of the Alaska bureau of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce, indi- cate. a great advance in Alaska com merce during the year 1915, as well as in the factors that induced it. This advance it not only due to govern ment activity in railroad building but to the doubling of the production of the Juneau gold belt and the stimu- lation of copper mining through the war demands for the metal.
 Aside from railway development, Alaska has a permanent asset in the Juneau gold ores that will furnish a basis of progress even if the terri tory were deprived of other elements of prosperity. Here are mountains of ore, sufficient to keep the mills busy for the next hundred or more years. Hero the steady and increasing pro- duct:on of gold is consequent only upon the installation of reduction plants, and this work capital has un- derteken on a huge scale.
 Gold ore production for 1915 was double that of tie preceding year. The Treadwell mines are now taking out 5000 tons of ore day The Alas ka-Gastineau Company is to expe' d S2,5CO,OOO this year in developing g its plants and mines. To the north and westward of Juneau mining dis tricth are developing and will con- tribute steadily to the gold harvest of the years to come. One copper min, is shipping out $1,500,000 worth of the product a month.
 These mines are increasing the in dustrial payrolls, while the govern ment railway construction is not only drawing laborers to Alaska, but per- maneLt settlers and business men as we'll. The white population of the territory has increased about 4.0e0 during the past year. Another twelve months should add nearly 10000 to the white population.
 t...--.,,. will be more promising element than ever in Seattle com mercial life this year. The name of <he great territory will be upon the lips of business men of shipping in- 1erests, of bankers, of laborers and in tte minds of hordes of settlers seeking homes in the fertile valleys.

cxru. and the Persians.

The Persians of the time of Cyrus were Zoroastrians. The Persian re. ligion was primitively monotheistie. and they allowed no idols or other ma' terial symbols of deity in their tenn. ples. There was less enmity on the part of the Jews against the Persians than against the other great nations with whom they came in contact. due probably to the monotheism which characterized the Persian religion. So Cyrus. whatever else may be said of ilim. was certainly not an idolator.- Christian Herald.

A Strict Dramatic Censor.

Vienna once possessed the strictest dramatic censor ever known in the person of Franz Hoegelin, who held that post in the Austrian capital at the beginning of the last century. Hoegelin published manual for the guidance of censors. "A pair of lovers should never be allowed to appear on the stage alone. They must always be accompanied by third person of mature years" Marriages out of ones class were also strictly forbidden by Hoegelin on the stage, and he quotes an instance of a play which he re fused to pass because the author made the hero. Count Valdemar. marry a gardeners daughter. Such misalli' ances have unfortunately been known to occur in real life, but that is no reason why they should be allowed on the stage" he said

THINGS TO BE REMEMBERED.
(Weekly Unity.)


 Remember. that finding fault with conditions in your help them Finding fault with fault increas fault for it is simply fault added to fault If there be any seeming your surroundings they surely are sufficient themselves. without your encouragement What you need find is the good there is plenty of it and it will become manifest to you when you seek it Look for the good everywhere and when you find it praise it. Praising good increases good Since it is the good you desire and there is plenty of good everywhere why should you desire and there is plenty of good why should you waste your time in finding error-faults
 Would you not think queer who desired to get berries but who spent his time counting the sharp spines the bushes instead of picking the fruit? You would say that he wasting his time. Why should you your time in looking for the good fruit? Some will say, I don't look for the unpleasant things; they just come and cant get away from them" To this will say: Watch your surroundings with an honest determination find good in them; you will find it. Bless it and praise it. Look for good bless that praise it. and look for Keep looking you will be surprised that there is great deal of good about you Looking for good will become habit and you will gradually forget about the importance of the evil the bad will become very weak and in significant.

TRUSTS MAY HAVE TROUBLE.

The big corporations and combinations of cor porations have been enjoying an enormous in crease in wealth since the war began. Every thing seems to have favored them The war seems to have been wave of plenty to them, and they have taken advantage and in many instances have increased their opportunities. Even the paper trust has joined the caravan and has be- come greedy of it's preys. When corporations are able to declare one hundred per cent divi- dends none will doubt but that they have be- come hogs, and that their gluttonery must be checked. That is just about what is causing all the trouble in the Eastern states today. It is said that King" Morgan has made more money the last two years than his father made during his whole life. And goodness knows, J. F. Nor gan, Sr, was greedy enough to suit anybody.

Disorderly conduct on the streets - or any where else for that matter, should not be passed off without applying the proper remedy. Vulgar and abusive language, is disorderly conduct, and persons conducting themselves in a disordery manner should be attended to- We have laws covering all these defects and they should be en- forced This community wants peace, and the chances are it will have it. If the present force of officials cannot maintain peace let us have more officials, but peace is due to the commun- ity as whole and must obtain" Thus spoke business man this morning, and the business man referred to is not meddler either.
 The Progressive-Miner does not pretend to to know where the trouble lies, but is aware that there is trouble somewhere. However, we know that there is a very effective remedy that can be used with advantage. Let those men who are brought before the courts be given the limit of the law Cuddling them will never do A small fine can never help in the matter. The limit is what they should get. Men who make asses of themselves should be attended to. Cuddling has never improved an ass.
