order not to delay the regular services
ne asked them to wait until the eonelu-
sion Of the services when he would
marry them publicly
When the sermon vas finished he
announced; Nov will those per
sons wishing to be married please
come forward?" Eleven women and
one man promptly answered the call.

Despite the most careful and intel
ligent methods of cotton cultivation,
the boll-weeyil pest is gradually sprea-
ding into new territory at the rate of
about 80 miles each year. The ad-

and north and it is feared that the en-
tire cotton section win be infested
before a way Is found to stamp out
the pest effectually.

work.
The city child has but fragmentary
conceptions of natures life. The city
offers no visual example Of stimula-
tion for work, because actual work is
done in the interiors of shops and bus
mess establishments. The family in
the city is not a productive communi-
ty any more; it has been transformed
into a consuming unit. The city
children become familiar with ready
made products without realizing BY
what processes and Of what materials
they were made. 1t remains obscure
to them how much time and toll it
costs to make living, and how much
work is required to produce articles Of
food and other necessities of life.
In educational circles this defcien-
cy of city conditions in respect to ed
ucation in work has been recognized
long ago. As a remedial measure,
manual training was introduced into
city schools. Through it the children
exercise the eye and hand, learn to
handle tools and raw materials-all
by actual work. But no manual train
ing possesses so much educational val
ue as garden work. Gardening is su-
perior to pasteboard, wood and iron
constructed within the narrow limita-
tions of school shops because it is done
out of doors, in pure air and sunlight,
and brings the children into contact
with nature. In Zurich, there is an as
sociation whose exclusive object is to
establish and conduct school gardens
on city grounds and to develop thru
this means healthy, Industrious and
morally sound race. Every pupil is
given a plot of land for whose plant
ing and cultivation he alone is res
ponsible. This little garden affords
an admirable field of work and ex-
Fermentation where the Child learns
through his own labor and experience
his own failures and successes. There
he can dig, sow and plant, cultivate
and harvest; there he observes how
the plants sprout, grow, tloom and ri
pen; how they protect themselves
from animals and the inclemency of
weather, and in what high de- gree their
thriving is dependent upon the mex
orable powers of nature, involving at
the same time the welfare of the gar
dener and the farmer, and ultimate
of all mankind.
The man who can spare little
time after his professional daily work
to attend to his garden and flower
beds is fortunate indeed. This gives
him healthy exercise and an enjoy
able pastime In large cities, where
every minute Of time and every power
of efficiency is utilized for business
purposes, the necessity Of diversion
end free 0ccunatian becomes inror7

INTO ever simpler mampuiatous, the
more important and full of meaning
will free occupation become. Leisure
time should be used with the view of
giving the senses and the soul the pro-
per nourishment that will enable the
man to recover his inner balance lost
during the hours Of toll. When this
opportunity is shut off, the powers of
soul waste away for want of action;
the craving for higher things in life
disappears, and in its stead come Bit
terness, hatred and jealousy. What
matters all the progress in technicks
and science if it gives man no hap
piness Among the remedies for
these evils of our modern industrial
life the joys of garden occupations
and flower planting are the most i'm
portant. The garden city movement
should therefore be encouraged II
fills important demands for the pro-
lection of peoples health,and at the
same time promotes the moral hy-
giene.

VALDEZ WILL BE WET
 THE COMING YEAR

During the coming year, unless the federal government takes hand in
 the Alaska liquor laws, and this is
 believed unlikely, Valdez will be a
 wet town. By majority of two to one the citizens have declared in fav- lor of license, and this much-needed
 revenue will come into the hands of the council for the payment of the
 running expenses of the town.
 That the sentiment is so strongly
 in favor of the granting of liquor li-
 censes in Valdez is, aside from the question of revenue, largely due to the orderly manner in which these places of business are conducted. An intoxicated persons is seldom seen on the streets, and crawling is prac- |tically unknown. Were this the case in some of the other towns of the Territory the greatest objection to the issuing of licenses would cease to exist.

A DESPERATE SITUATION.

The American troops in Mexico are in a serious predicament and our na- tion faces what seems at this writing to be almost certain war.
 The morning dispatches bring re- ports of a clash between Mexicans and the American soldiery, far from the border and the base. At the same time comes the news that Carranza has again ordered the United States troops to retire from Mexican soil.
 Having made the dash of some 400 miles at great expense and hazard, without consummating the plan and with what appears to be lack of de- sire on Carranza's part to capture Villa and enforce order on the bor- der, what are we to do? Quit fight ing and swallow our humiliation? Or press on and involve ourselves in a war the outcome of which may be measured by more humiliation and certainly by great loss of life and treasure?
 The situation is most precarious. And Villa. hiding safely in the hills nearby, must be chuckling in glee.

It has become current among those who now and then point their shaggy whiskers to the stars and bolt four finger shot of the joyful, that substi- tuition of goods has been organized,
 and that it is dangerous to order red liquor by mail anymore. In several instances it has been reported that the bottoms of the heavy wine and
 whiskey bottles have been deftly cut

THE RAILROAD SITUATION.

The strike on the government rail- road and the order following to close down all work until the strike is set
 tied, may prove of serious moment to Alaska, and, perhaps result in the abandonment of the road, or at least in contracting the extent of the pro- posed line. While the appropriations asked for have apparently been granted without opposition, it is nev- ertheless true that there are in Con- gress many who are opposed to the plan of government ownership and operation of railroads. These states men will undoubtedly seize upon any pretext to obstruct the building of the road. and nothing could be bet ter fo- their purpose than the pres ent trouble.
 IL would be absurd to place the b]ame~for the trouble entirely upon the lanorers, or, on the other hand, upon the government officials. From this distance. it would seem that both sides have not adopted all possible measures to insure peaceful settle ment of the differences on the wage question. This question has been taken from the hands Of the >Engi neerjng Commission and is now in the hands of the Board of Cancellation and A rhifrotion and tho Encinoorino Commission is largely absolved from blame. It would seem, in the face of the promise that had been made that when the scale was established it would receive the increase for all the time they worked. that the strike might have been avoided. On the other hand, the Board has had con- siderable time to investigate the con- ditions along the line and should have been able, if not to announce the new scale, to at least make statement as to the time this would be forthcom- ing Had this been done there is lit tie doubt that the work would have gone on interrupted.
 It is hard for the men to live on the wages paid. Thirty seven and one half cents per hour, with no increase for overtime, and board at seven dol lars per week, leaves the men about eleven dollars per week profit. Out of this must come all the little incl dentals necessary, and prices are high in Anchorage. The men cannot work all the time, and when they miss any time it comes out of their pockets. Fifty cents per hour, while seeming ly a large sum to an Eastern con- gressman, is not much in Alaska. The main cause of the strike was the wage scale, and it could have been easily adjusted.
 But wherever the blame lies. it is to be regretted that the trouble came at this time. If not speedily settled and work resumed, the condition of the project is extremely precarious, particularly that portion beyond the Matanuska coal fields. To the coal fields the line will undoubtedly be constructed. but the trunk line to the interior will be doubtful. With a presidential election coming on. there will be little incentive to waste time required for political purposes
