 CD When is the road to be connected up for heavy traffic between Seward and the coal fields?"
 @ When are the bunkers to handle navy coal to be built here?"
 (3) When will the shipment of coal begin?"

 The editor of the Gateway has just completed another effort secure answers the first three of these Ques tiOns from the Alaskan Engineering Commission with the following more or less unsuccessful results:
 CD Continuing at its present rate of speed the com ssion will have the line between Seward and the coal fields open time during 1918 but there is section between Mile 45 and the Placer river flats which the mission does not propose improve for heavy traffic til it is definitely known how much tonnage there will be to haul over it.

Auto Lock Traps Two Boys, Who Arc
Held for Larceny.

An automobile lock on the steering
wheel OF car belonging to F. H.
Houghton. SIS North First street, and
the activity Of the police, led to the
arrest Of two youths Monday night,
who either took the car from Church
street, south of the court house, for a
joy ride or intended to steal it The
boys were w. Holcomb, aged is. son
of George w. Holcomb. 514 Lee street,
and w. LANCE, aged IS. son Of Mrs
Bertha LANCE, 400 Swayze street The
boys are being held in Sail and a
charge Of larceny has been filed.
When the boys took the car they
found it would run only in a circle.
The reason was that the lock on the
steering wheel held the wheel in that
position and it could mot be turned.
After vainly trying to turn the car and
get it going straight, it wound up
against q telephone pole in Church
street. near the Y. NJ. c. A. The pc
culiar course taken by the car attract
ed attention and the police. When the
auto struck the pole and stopped, the

OUT OF THE SILENCE.

And what can you say when the day
is done
And you've gone to your bed of rest?
When the shadows come and the
light has gone?
Der the rim of the Golden West
And the silvery beam of the moon
creeps in
As if in an aimless quest?
What do you say
When kindly voice that you seem
to know
Out of the shadows speaks soft and
low,
"Well, what did you do today?"
Oh, what can you say when you are
all alone
With the master of all the tasks?
How much of sin do you have to
When the voice of the master asks
How many things have you left I'M
done
Your studied answer makes?
What do you say
When out of the shadows of the
silent night
The Master speaks with the Mastres
right:
"Well, what did you do today?"
Thrice blest is he of the humble
way
Who sinks to his bed of rest
The rest he earned with toiling
day
With love of his labor blest-
Who hears the voice of his Master
ask, and can truthfully say
My best"

I've trod the way of my best intent
I've helped friend and I've mad,

RULES OF ETIQUETTE FOR USE
OF AMERICAN FLAG.

In decorating building or inter-
Tor wall, the flag should never be
festooned or draped, as is ometimes
done. 1t should always be hung fiat
When hung, the union should be on
the left.
In general, no other flag should
be allowed to fly from the same pole
with the National flag. An exception
to this rule is that the state flag may
be flown from the same pole, butdiff-
erent halyards should be used.
Flags should be raised at sunrise
and lowered at sunset. They should
never DE allowed to remain out over
night.
If hung perpendicularly, union must
be in right upper corner.
The flag should never be placed be-
low person sitting.
A alag" Is the emblem flown from
permanent pole or staff; it is not
customarily saluted by military men
or civilians when passing it. The
STANDARD" and "Colors" are flags
carried by cavalry and infantry, re-
spectively; they are always saiuted
by military men and should be salut-
ed as they are carried past, by civ
ilians, who should remove their hats.
When carried in parade or when
crossed with other flags, the Stars
and Stripes should always be on the
right.

HASTY, IMMATURE CONCLUS
IONS AND STATEMENTS.

Great harm, bitterness and enmi-
ties are caused by jumping at con-
clusions founded upon rumors or
reached by immature judgments. In
society, in business, and no less in
national affairs is the evil seen.
Last week the statement was made
that transports carrying Pershing's
men were attacked by fleet of Ger
man submarines, which were tipped
off by some one in America. The
cry of "spies" was raised and the pre-
diction made that the spies would
likely be found in the United States
navy, or some other governmental
department. How else could the SUBJ
marines know just where tho conveys
would meet the troop ships, if some
one connected with the navy had not
given them the tip? No one except
the. authorities in the navy knew
when the ships would sail, they said.
1t now turns out that the ships were
not attacked by feet of submarines
and that no one in the navy gave out
the information, and that thousands
of people in the New York and else
where knew when the troop ships
sailed, etc.

FARMERS UNIONS AND POLL
TICS.

Some years ago the Farmers AL
lance was organized and did good
work among the farmers of the
State until it was dragged into poll
tics. 1t died. Oflice-seekers under
took to exploit the farmers through
the Alliance, for selfish purposes,
and the organization went to pieces.
And, now, the Farmers Union is
heading in the same direction, at
tempting to exploit the different far
mers organizations in the State in the
interest of one of the candidates for
Governor Wise leadership and cool
heads will be needed to steer clear of
the rocks upon which the Alliance
went to wreck if it is to be turned
into political Organization. The
stunt is to be turned through the
Southern Planter, owned by Mr..
Westmoreland Davis, that is, he owns
controlling interest in the publ
cation. Sometime ago the Clinch
Valley News asked the question
whether or not the Southern Planter
was going into politics, as it was
boosting Mr.. Davis, it's owner, for
the nomination for Governor. The
Planter is ain" this time, good and
sure. An attempt is being made to
drag the farmers union and the en-
tire membership of the Farmers In
stitute in the State, into partisan
political organization. The planter
will issue thousands and thousands
of copies of the Planter this month
complimentary" to the farmers of
the State, "that it may not only pro-
mote better farming, but enable each
members TO get clearer concep-
ton of the problems that confront
u.s."
Now, the proof of all this and
more is at hand. If the Planter is
so DESTROYS of bcneftting and up
lifting the farmer of the State. etc,
good taste, at least would have sug-
gestcd that the distribution of the
thousands of free copies of the Plant
er be deferred until after the August
primary. Mr. Davis is high toned
gentleman and should not permit any
of his managers in their zeal to bring
him or the Planter under suspicion.
