 Judging from the sturdy looking ex- hibits shown in connection with the knee-length skirts. the women folks should quit pretending that they have Limbs and admit that they have Legs.
 Another thing we can't understand is how the ugly men manage to cor out such good-looking wives
 If man hires servant girl for his wife he imagines that his wife hasn't anything to do But a woman will work harder bossing a servant girl than she would if she had the housework to do herself.
 And the man who has to ask his wife for 20 cents car fare every morning Suffrage.
 After all, the best way to attract at tention to the fact that you are bald is to wear a toupee.
 A man may have good sense about other things. But if he has no appe- tite he will keep right on trying to eat.
 It takes smart husband to con- vince his wife that beating rugs is the finest thing in the world for a torpid liver and that the exercise will improve doctor bills.

AN ALASKAN IGNORED
Valdez Miner)

(Valdez Mner)
 August IA, 1897, Lieutenant Wilds P. Richardson head of the Alaska Road Commission landed on the shores of Alaska, at point near St. Michael having been sent to the Yukon by the War Department He remained at St Michael nearly two years. In 1899 he promoted to the rank of Captain, with super vision of the posts to be erected at Forst Lis cum, St Michael, Nome, Fort Gbbon and other points. He left the Territory when the Department of Alaska was attached the Department of the Columbia When Canada and the United States engaged in their celebrated controversy over the boundary line, in 19O1-2 Capt. Richardson again was sent to Alaska to mark the boundary sites The same year he built regimental headquarters at the head of Lynn canal
 Capt Richardson impressed with the re sources of Alaska and appeared before the War De partment with plea for telegraph lines and roads stating that the richness of country could not be aggerated when speaking of it's mineral wealth His recommendation ultimately secured him command Of the War Department, When Col. Richardson took command of the roads and trails in the Territory it required vivid imagination to designate the trails and bogholes by the appellaton of roads While the appropriated each year far less than his needs, the Colonel worked indefatigably on with but one purpose in view 10 make solid road peds m the Territory. which swift transportation could be made and that he has accomplished wonders those old timers who remember conditions as he found them well know Streams have been brdged, chasms spanned cliffs surmounted and access to the interior opened, all by the efforts of this one man. in whom the Department seemed to have reposed explicit con fdence.
 Twenty years after the date the then Lieutenant set foot Alaskan soil he received notice of his promotion to the rank of Brigadier General On no man can the honor be more worhily bestowed. All Valdezans will rejoice the cuminaton of General R.chardsons efforts. and his splendid record while Alaska Through his untiring labor in our behalf the Territory has several thousand miles Of fairly good roads and trails and this has been accomplished in the past decade He can apty go down in the Territory's history The Roadbuder." But it is as a friend and counsellor that we best remember the genial Colonel.
 Now that he has been removed from the Chair manship of the Road Commission Aaskans will real ize his worth to the Northland It is regretted that wars exigences have taken many of Alaskas friends from their field of endeavor, but we, in com with thousands of other friends of General Wllds p Richardson. rejoice at his promotion and hope at some future time have him again with

DIRECTORS AND THE DRAFT

Gen. Crowder's ruling that religious obiectors Will be drafted like other and sent to train ing camps as part of their States quota but not required to do military work, is fair. There are however difficulties in dealing with the class The coldly logical method would be to say to all of them that since their consciences will not permit them to defend their country their conscences should also prevent them from taking the benefit of national or ganization, which exist only when defended They should be compelled to follow their consciences to the limit
 However, nobody counsels that course now and having admitted the responsibility sided con science, the question is what with the posses of them.
 In England, it is admitted, they have made a mess Of the matter by treating the obiectors in some cases with such hardships shock the public The objecors have been made into martyrs and have really suffered unjust hardships in cases where men who evidently sincere in their ob jection have been suspected of insincerity
 Judging from British experience, the best tha, can be done is to take all but the obvious fraud at their word and the objectors from any form of military service to which they object This would not make them immune from danger. as there is work at and in the field which is not aggres siye but still full of peril

THE PRICE OF SILVER

few days ago the dispatches carried the story that silver had reached 87 cents ounce and characterized the figures the highest recorded price for the white metal. That wrong It the highest price that has been paid for silver since the repeal of the Sherman silver purchase in 1893, for which purpose President Cleveland called spec ia session of Congress in August of that year. Prior to that time silver had been lower than 90 cents It $1.32 the time it demonetzed in 1873, almost three above the Is to l coinage ratio between it and gold After the demonstration of silver it gradually fell in price until it reached 90 Then the Sherman silver purchase act passed by the Harrison administra- ton It required the purchase of 4.50O,O00 month at the market value. Silver then up to $l-19. When Secretary Carlisle decided that London prices, and not New York, constituted the market value, and refused to purchase silver except the price the other side of the Atlantic there began period of sharp decline When it became evident. little later in 1893. that the sherman would be repealed the slump became tumble and the metal soon went down to about 50 cents ounce, and staid in that vicinity for 15 Is years.
