SHOW YOUR HAND

There only few brave republicans in Ket- chikan, although the population is composed of re- pubcans by large majority yet they do not assert their political affliaton openly Everything is done on the q t. They are scared For instance; it takes a brave man to out boldly and assert his party utilization just You see many still holding office under the present administration and they and their relation are related the democratic rules to speak, and while they are aching see the G. O. P. in power again, they dare not say boo. And in way, you can't blame them either, because we would do the same if We held an office Nevertheless the scarcity of bold republicans only be attributed to that ilegitmate relation. We say ilegitimate because legal bond can ever exist between bold republican and staunch democrat. justifabe explanation of such union would be as hard to make to be con- vncng as it would be hard to convince a prohibition audience that real ripe red nose is due to the drinking of "pup." Despite all could say, sus- pcion would turk behind the explanation, the itself.
 This year. the republican bosses have been very generous in that they have agreed to allow the voters to elect openly their deegates to the conventon-the first time in the history of Alaska; and Saturday, a primary election will be held, yet dollar to a doughnut would be safe bet that not over ten will show their hands. They're all scared.
 It is true that the c. o. F. dishonored, but the bosses have repentedas is evidenced by this open primary electon-and anxious to mend their ways In view of that fact, let all the bold re- publcans show their hands and hasten the fight that is bound to come. Most of would far rather be dead than be without a political fight on hand 1t gives us so much to talk about somebody to roast, all of which furnish amusements. Besides since Shackleford and Harron want to play fair let every voter take advantage of the opportunity.

A CITY's SOUL.
(St. Paul Pioneer Press. )


 The time has not yet come in the career of Amer can cities when they have ceased to confuse bigness with greatness But the time has when they are beginning to realize that emphasis mere size and the huge volume of business they doing has been sadly overdone There something else needed, they are finding to constitute the great city That some thing is soul. We have been talking long about the souless corporations These latter slowly but surel acquiring soul And it is time our cities did che same James Schermerhorn, publisher of the Detroit Times dscoursing this subject in Springfield, Mass the other day said most appositely
 "What is the great essential of city with a soul It is citizen with sou-hundreds of thou sands of him--a soul above above mere receptvity self seeking and accumulation. citizen who reflects upon what he can put into his city, not upon what he can get out of it. Who is prepared to declare with reference to his city what Nathan Hale de clared with reference to his country: regret that I have but one life to give for it.! Citizens of this calber make city with soul, and our piety and patriotism have got to come down off the mottoes on our office walls get out of afer-dnner speeches and party platforms, and get into the management of our business and the making of our ballots be- fore our eyes will behold the coming of the glory of the soul city"
 One detects here note, voice which has been too little heard in the past but which will be increasingly listened to and needed in the future o all our American municipalities.

CHEAP AT THAT.

Henry Ford's secretary is reported to have said that the peace expedition has cost the pro- moter the munificent sum of $4000O0 For man who afford to pay the price, the experience and notoriety acquired for that is cheap. Ford is known now; besides he has learned few things among which are how to make check and that money does not buy everything; but buys ridicule aplenty.

ian. To illustrate one point, the
bird takes in air through its mouth
or nasal passage. this passes through
Its windpipe, the windpipe divides
at the upper and anterior part Of
the lungs into two tubes. At this
point there is a fattened part which
is the true organ of sound, so that
the bird does not make its sound at
the upper part of the neck, but in
the anterior part of the chest, Again
the lungs are small and located at
the upper part of chest Through
each lung there are three tubes and
a large number of smaller ones
given off at right angles like the
tubes of a pipe organ. This is no;
all, for some of these tubes COM

cavity and three in the chest cavity

soaked in a fluid that is strongly
acid and contains a ferment that
changes the protein or muscle build
ing material into soluble forms. The
food then passes to the gizzard
where il is ground.
The gizzard is provided with
strong muscular walls and a hard
inner pad. These muscles contract
ing against grit or pieces of stone
grind the feed into small particles.
From the gizzard the ground feed
passes into the intestines where it is
further acted upon by the bile from
the liver. There is also some fiued
secreted by glands from the walls
Of the intestines.
What Becomes of the Feed.
That part of the feed that cannot
be digested, and rendered into the
proper kind OF solution is voided. IL
is further found that the secretions
from the kidneys, which are thrown
of from the body are carried
through two small tubes and voided.
The whitish portion of the outer sur
face of the droppings is the kidney
secretion.
That part of the nutrients which
has been converted into the proper
solution. is taken up by minute
vessels lining the inner wall OF the
intestine, and carried 10 all the It's

HOW TO MAKE CIDER

IMPROVING POTATOES
New Varieties Developed by L. =
Agriculture Department.

The department is conducting a
OF potato Investigations,
chiefly at Presque Isle, Ne; Greeley,
Colo; Jerome. Idaho. and Norfolk.
Va. one of the main features of
the work is the development. from
seed, of new varieties of potatoes
specially suited for certain purposes
and adapted TO the special growing
regions in which such products can
most economically be produced A
large number of seedlings have been
srown and those of greatest prom
ise only retained, of which there are
some 500 considered Of sufficient
value 10 warrant further testing.
These are being tried out in CO
operation with the various state sta
lions, and as soon as they have
proven their worth in any locality
arrangements will be made 10 es-
tablish the variety in the region to
which il is best adapted.
Experiments leading TO a deter
mination Of the factors necessary
for the production OF disease-free
potatoes in western irrigated sec
tons have shown that organisms
capable of causing diseases of po-
tatoes are probably present in all
desert lands, but that land pre-
viously in cultivation with grains
and alfalfa many, when disease-free
seed is planted, produce a croI
comparatively free from disease. In
southern Idaho the experiments or
the control of pOWdery dry rot in
storage have been completed and
show that the losses can be prevent
ed by careful harvesting to avoid
mechanical injuries and by keeping
the storage cellar at a temperature
between IS degrees and 40 degrees

il is necessary to store in poorly
ventilated or improperly cooled
houses the disease may be affective

DON'T SELL OLD D0BBIN
