would have wanted to make his wife.
Other men like me and have no hes
itation in showing it. Would all these
men be like Dick has been had l been
the wife of any of them?
Little book, l have come to the
conclusion that while marriage is the
bulwark of society, the absolute
safety of the race, it is far from a
perfect institution as far as the indi-
vidual is concerned.
1 wish 1 could bring myself to talk
to Eliene. wish l knew if she feels
that marriage is a failure. She, too,
you know, has passed through the
same crisis that 1 am now passing
through and she seems to be quite
happy. Seems" how l hate
that word, woman must always
seem"
1 believe Shakespeare had only
women in mind, although the advice
was given to a man when he said:
''Act well your part" Oh, little book,
1 don't want to act, want to be.
Just now 1 wish 1 could go away
from. all the people l have ever
known and be for a little time not
the Margie am now, but the Margie
l was before l was married yet
you see 1 can't do it because some
silly pride keeps me from telling the
world that my marriage with Dick is
not a success. Like most women and
some men, lack the courage to do
the thing ought to do because a lot
of men and women that l do not
know and do not want to know would
roll the gossip under their tongues.
Notwithstanding Jim Edie's esti-
mate of Eleanor Fairlow, 1 feel that
hers is the stronger character
greater courage.
Margie Waverly, who has times
and times again said that she loves
courage above everything else, is
coward, and because she is coward

Is maTT1age-Justthe musk ana the
name-such a sacred thing that l
should keep up the appearances of
being a well beloved and loving wife.
Am l putting theNfact of the scandal
and worry that would ensue before
the right thing to do?' Dick says,
Don't give me up, Margie,' % but does
he want me on my terms? Am right !
in asking him to gain my love all over
again; in asking him to court me all |
over again, while am in the eyes of |
the world his wife? Will it be pos |
sible for him to make me forget that !
he killed my pride and broke my
heart? Can live in the same house
with him, under these conditions and
not irritate him to point where he |
will not care whether l love him or |
not?
Eleanor FairloW intimated in one |
of her letters that had made a mis-
take in trying to be ''All in all' to
Dick. She said: you must choose"
Since she wrote that to me l have |
been thinking much about it and
think that perhaps every woman I'M
consciously chooses. l wanted, per
haps, to be Dicks adviser more than
l wanted to be his sweetheart and l
am afraid all Dick wanted of me was
to be his sweetheart-to make him
comfortable instead of strong.
l know, little book, that you are
saying, "Margie Waverly, am afraid
that you will have to get rid of much
of your egotism if you would be a
successful wife.
And yet other men have found me
alluring, little book. The poor man
who died to save me in the railroad
wreck must have cared for me more
than for other women, and little con-
fidant, the only confdant have ever
had in all the world, l am going to
tell you this great secret. Notwith-
standing Jim Edie proposed to Mol
lie, believe, had been free, it would

Candidates fer Overseer

There are four candidates for the position of road overseer in the Fourth division at the coming electCn, as follows: Pete Jen sen, of Ruby, Independent; H. H. Ross of Fairbanks, the incumbent, Wickersham NJ. R. Sabin, Independent and Peter Steil In dependent Presumably the two last-named also are residents of Fairbanks.
 Pete Jensen is well known in the Idtarod district as Smiling Fete.' He was very popular here, and no doubt relies on that popularity to give him strength at the polls next November. Neither one of these can ddates has as yet announced his intentions as to the policy he will pursue in the event of his election. It is fair to presume, how ever, that each will entertain predilection in favor of his own district when 1t comes to expanding the money apportloned for the use of the whole district.
 The residents of the Iditarod district, of course, would prefer to have the road money spent in this district, or at least portion of it. In the event that this cannot be, they probably would prefer that it be spent in the Ruby district rather than at Fairbanks which heretofore has had the lions share of such funds There is little doubt, however, that they would rather see Smiling Pete Jensen have the handling of the funds than any other one of the candidates.
 The Ruby district is being favored at the present time with the attention of the Alaska road commission to greater extent than has ever before been the case with a district located outside the sacred precincts of the Fairbanks district And it may hap pen that, should he be elected, he would see the justice of expending this fund where 1t is most needed-in the Iditarod district
 At any rate, a little information from these various candidates as to their policy would not be amiss at this time
Iditarod pioneer., 1916-09-23
MATTER OF ROAD FUNDS
 MAY HAVE A BEARING
 UPON COMING ELECTION

The letter of J, E. Riley in last weeks issue of The Pioneer has had the effect of awakening a great deal of interest in road matters and there is considerable inquiry as to the status of road affairs in Alasva and especially in the Fourth district.
 as to the status of road affairs in Alaska heretofore has been exclusively in the hands of the Alaska road commission, working under the war department, the funds to carry on its work being provided by appro prations by congress It is not so well known, however that there is q territorial road fund, which is expended under the dl- rection of a road overseer in each division. This fund is expended under authority of an act of the territorial legislature ap proved April 28, 1915, which provided for the selection of road overseer for each division by the legislature. Thereafter the ovcrscers were to be elected by the qualified voters at each biennial election, and take office on March l next following the cleo tion
 The present road ovcrscer for the Fourth division Is H. II. Ross of Fairbanks, and, ac cording to the Times of that city, that of ticial "has only $5,9O0 to work on" this year, (which is a comparatively small sum when the amount of work to be done is con sidered but he is doing the best he can with the means at hand," Later advices state that thjs sum hes been increased, and that "the entire road fund will therefore be in the n2i1hbJrhood of &7,723.S7."
 The overscer'> "beSt' appears from the same newspaper to be work on the roads leading to the creeks adjacent to Fairbanks, for "by an agreement reached last year between MT. Ross and the Alaska road com mission the territorial road overSeer agreed to look after the trails in the immediate vicinity of Fairbanks if the road commis- sion would sec to the repairs in other parts of the division" Hast year continues the newspaper article, "a road of a sort was built by the territorial road crew under MT. Ross for about two and one half miles up Gilmore creek
 All of which is, of course, eminently satis- factory to the residents of the Fairbanks district, who apparently are lmbued with tie i&ea that the road funds, both federal and territorial, are provided for the especial Use of the Fairbanks district There appears to be no thought that there may be need for roads in any other portion of the dis trict than their own, and in fact the i'm pression is conveyed that they do not know CT care to know of the existence of any other part of the Fourth division.

More Funds Forthcoming

The territorial road fund is derived from p per cent of the receipts from the sale of forest products by the federal govern ment, and this fund is divided equally among the four judicial divisions. A recent Washington dispatch stated that Secretary of Agriculture Houston had placed to the credit of Alaska the sum of S46,200 from this source. This would mean a tidy sum as the portion of the Fourth division for the coming year. If reversal of the usual order of things were brought about, anu the whole of this sum were expended in the Iditarod district instead of the Fairbanks district some splendid results might be ob- talned in the way of building passable roads in this camp There would be nothing un reasonable about this suggestion, for the reason that the great bulk of all road ex
 pcnditures heretofore have been made for the benefit of the Tan2na valley camp and its business center. Because of its numer- ical voting strength being somewhat in terior to that of Fairbanks. however, this seems unlikely to be possibility. And in spite of the importance of the llitarOd re zion as mining center, and the fact that its lack of roads is the cause of retsrding development, the road funds will continue to be expended in districts which command greater attention from the politicians.
