Worlds Work for Augusta
 By the of 1919 Pullman will probab y be running from Seward to Fairbanks, Alaska This shows the energy with which the Wilson Ad ministration has pushed the work on this great signed the bill which authorized it's construction and two weeks later of engineers were in Seattle planning it. Trains already running schedule for thirtyfive miles, and hundred miles of road bed ready for the rails This railroad will make est sections. Two of Alaska's finest coal deposits

 The story of the city of Anchorage indicates what we may expect when these rich fields are opened to the settler Three years ago this place was only couple of tents but now, owing to the new railroad, its population is second only to Ju neau, and lots which the Government sold here al public auction, the nsallment plant have increased from 500 per cent to 1,5oo cent in value since their purchase. Though of the inhabitants rep resent the frontier type, the life of the town is derly and decent Indeed, Alaska has reached that stage civilization where it resents being pictured wild mining camp community in which the chief industries faro banks, drinking shanties and vigilance committees It will surprise most tea is served regularly afternoon at four o'clock evening clothes appear frequently at six D. m. wo- mems clubs in all the activities that most popular in Eastern States, and all the other normal manifestations of American civilization contribute to the upbuiding of intelligent, lawabding common wealth Recent events have forced this Alaska attention.

ONE OF THE RESULTS OF WAR

One of the results of the that has been ac. complished thus early in proceedings is the edu- cation of the people they distinguish clearly be- tween real progressves and spurious reformers be- tween the progressive who has progressive remedy, that to the foundation of ills and the faker who contents himself with shouting wolf" The peo. pie have reached the point where they appraise with constructive policy at his worth, and quickly discard who would destroy. They under stand the difference between the who works for better conditions and the who seeks to gain temper ary profit notoriety by simply abusing those who may be enjoying special privilege advantage. They able to s the good from the bad and accept that which is good and put away that which is bad. They have learned to be wary of the who is working for record the who plays personal poli- tics, and to work with the who is striving to i'm prove conditions for his community his country.
 The man who lacks fundamental knowledge, who cannot practice teamwork for the common good, who is weak of character and minus stamnia and the who has his at the ground listening for "is- sue" instead of his hands the blow handle, must give way to the worker. the who seeks to serve and lets his personal political fortunes take of themselves.
