ECUADOR BEATS US TO TT!

Whatever the supreme court may decide about the AdamSon law, there is one American country that has a real, "watertight" eight-hour law.
 It is Ecuador, that tiny triangular country, squeezed in between Peru and Colombia. Ecuador is the only nation in the world with an eight-hour law that includes every employee m the country, pays time and a quarter or better for overtime, and has no loopholes for any favored industries.
 The whole meat of the law, which has just been put into effect, is in three short, simple articles:
 OD Every laborer, worhngman, clerk in store, office, or industrial establishment, and in general, every employee of any kind shall not be forced to work more than eight hours daily, six days a week, and is exempt

AN INDICATION

Of the most vital significance to Seward, Cook inlet and the valley country, was the passing yesterday of the half million dollar appropriation for wagon roads in Alaska by the House at Washington.
 Wars and rumorS of war are not ,c be allowed to thwart the opening up of Alaska, empire of the North, Americas most valuable possession.
 It means, without a doubt, that work will be continued on the gov ernment railroad, perhaps rushed at top speed.
 While Seward with provisions for handling the fish at hand could exist as a larger community than it has ever been so far, regardless of the completion of the railroad, both are necessary to complete the program laid out by those who have established themselves here to aid and profit in this upbuilding.
 Both are assured, but as nothing Is certain in this world, except death and taxes, an indication of fullflment of the blessings desired Is always wei come.

GENTLE ART OF NACGING

Nagging your husband is a special art by itself, and while some women have a natural gift in that direction others can only acquire it by constant aplication. A husband in house is something like q hippopotamus. He is often a dull, placid creature, hard to move or dislodge, especially if he gets accustomed to a favorite chair. He often becomes toughened by eX- posture r8 constant nagging, an6 1t takes a powerful weapon with fairly high trajectory to do him any dam age. Occasionally, however, he de- velopeS sensitive areas and can be- come a constant source of pleasure to any lady who likes to nag. Every woman knows, of course, that her husband Is more susceptible about half an hour before dinner, when he has come home from his office tired out. By studying him carefully she will also discover certain days in the month when she can nag him with the highest percentage of bulls eyes. The art of nagging, however, is not at all objective. Much can be done from the subjective standpoint. By intimating to her husband in many ways, which she can easily learn to practice, that she is the most abused lady on earth, she can derive whole program of amusement. The historical method that of dragging up some dead, for gotten thing and talking about it all over again, and still over again-is also splendid form of nagging.
 Some wives, however, so blind are they, never see this at all. They just go on, hopefully trying to make their husbands happy. The high art of nagging is not given to every woman.

THE LIVES WE LIVE

People read with interest the stories about other folks living in dis tant towns and often overlook the stories close at home.
 The story of the little woman at Roosevelt who throws whiskey bot ties into the lake, as printed in the Literary Digest, has a most charming sequel in her marriage to Al and yet there are other life stories going on about us, which if chronicled would make most interesting chapters in the history of Alaska and the AlaSkanS.
 What a story Clark Russell or Peter B. Kyne could make out of the trip of the Roscoe in her effort to make Anchorage with gasoline, coal oil, and the dynamite that became so warm the nitro glycerine came out of 1t and trickled down to mingle in the bilge. And what railroad yarn could oe written around the opening of the old Alaska Northern with its rickety bridges and the temporary track across the water torn waste Of gravel at Placer river to get supplies through to Kern creek after the at tempt to take them up from Cook inlet had failed. These are only two of the greater stories. There are others too numerous to mention some good. some evil; romance, tragedy, and comedy without end.

liquor and she would see to it that they were enforced, and that no man could come to her table who had been drinking. It is said she enforced her words with a threatening finger. The men submitted, and while they were at dinner the construction "boss" came in and, before all the men, apologized. He said she was right and that he would not ask her to serve meals to him or anybody else who had been drinking. No man took offense at her action, knowing it to be right.
 We had heard the story from others but it was interesting to hear Mrs. Dabney tell it herself. She added, q can find whisky any time they bring it in. The other day man appeared with a suitcase. suspected he had liquor and went up to him and said, Give me that whiskey.'". She said he meekly opened his suitcase, took out the bottle, and handed it to her. She threw it into the lake.
 If you could see this little white haired woman and learn how firmly she stands for the enforcement of the law, and then realize how seventy-live men submit to her martial law, you would appreciate it, and you would know how the men respect her. 1t had hurt her little when the men called her Carrie Nation, but when l told her how Carrie Nation never at tackled any saloon except illegal ones, and how the people of Kansas so re- spected her memory that they were about to build memorial to her, she was encouraged and permitted Us to take her picture. We were there on the birthday of the mayor of Roose- welt, which is the other name for Mile Twenty-three and half. AS We went away, she said, Al says he IS going to celebrate tonight" and thes with twingle in her eye, she turn ed to me and said, "but he won't, even if he is mayor"
 Mrs. Dabney is providing those men with clean place in which to sleep and plenty of good, clean food, and she demands that they obey the government rules, and that they do not do things which make her work harder and cause her extra trouble There is no greater evidence of the respect in which the men of Alaska hold good women, than the way the men at Mile Twenty-three and half submit to the laws administration at the hands of Mrs. Dabney.

Mrs. Al Roberts, formerly Mrs, Dabney at Roosevelt has gained na- ton wide fame through the pen of Mrs. Ella A. Boole, temperance work CT and club woman of New York, who visited Seward in the course of a ter ritorial campaign last year. The fol- lowing appears in the recent issue of the Literary Digest:
 The Carrie Nation of Alaska
 She doesn't smash saloons, nor de- liver public lectures on temperance, but she is doing a great work toward eliminating the use of whiskey in the huge Northwest Territory of Ameri- ca. Her name is Mrs. Dabney, first name unknown, for in the Alaska country men either call you by your first name and forget your other one, or, if they have great deal of ,e- spect for you, you are called MT. and Mrs, and the name your parents gave you is forgotten. And respect is eX- actly what Mrs. Dabney gets s-from every miner and traveller, every trad CT and wandering wayfarer. They know better, she says, than to try to deceive her when they appear at the camp with bottle in the back pocket. In The Union Signal, Miss Ella A. Boole, of the w. c. T. U., tells Us all about a visit to Mrs. Dabney. We read:
 Mile Twenty Three anG half is a station on the new government rail way between Seward and Anchorae- Alaska. It is a square building made of logs and, although everything about the place is primitive, it is Scrupulously clean. Sometimes seventy-fve men who work on the railroad take heir meals there. Mrs Dabney is housekeeper and good cook and, with the help of a friend does all the work.
 When the government began the construction of the railroad it estab- lished it's base at Anchorage at the head of Cook inlet. In two years time this has grown to be town ot 5000. The government made it a prohibition town and also let it be definitely known that no drinking would be tolerated among the em, ployees and no liquor could be sold at the road-houses.
 All types of men are at Mile Twen' ty-three and half, and last Fourth of July tw enty-five of them secured a demijohn of whiskey and several bot ties. Mrs. Dabney walked in upon the company while they were drinking She ordered the owner of the house her employer, to go to his room, es- corting him there. She told him to go to bed and locked the door. Going back to the company, she attempted to breag the demijohn, but the bottle was too strong. She then poured out the whiskey, smashed the receptacles, and threw the bottle of whiskey into Kenai lake. When one man called her q second Carrie Nation she simply said she did not propose to clean up after men who got drunk, that the government rules forbade the use ot

I'm agreement with the German en-.

April 5, 1916, so that that country
may be liberated from it's heavy yoke
