commission, without exCeptiCE, have been operated at considerable loss and it is obviously imperative, with the view of placing .hiS service on Il self-supporting basis, that an adjust ment be made and the charges in- creased to cover the cost,
 Therefore, in order not only to equalize the increase in the charges for this service, but also to the end that different employees of the con- mission may be placed on rating commensurate with the skill and e&- perience required to fill their respec- tive D sitiOns, readjustment of the present wage scale becomes neces- sary, and the scale adopted for the seasons work will be made pubhc la the Alaska Railroad Record, and be- comes effective April 1, 1917.

/ Rendered Incorrectly.
 Almost everybody who quotes at al misquotes. Nothing is more common than to hear:
 man convinced against his will
 Is of the same opinion still
 This is an impossible condition of mind, for no one can be convinced of one opinion and at the same time hold to an opposite one. What Butler wrote was eminently sensible:
 He that complies against his will
 Is of his own opinion still.
 A famous passage of Scripture is often misquoted thus: He that is without sin among you let him cast first cast stone"
 Sometimes we are told, Behold, how great a fire a little matter kindleth,' '' whereas St. James said Behold how great a matter a little fire kindleth'' which is quite different thing
 We also hear that "A miss is as good as mile," which is not as sensible or fOrcible as the true proverb. "A miss of an inch Is as good as a mile."
