TWENTY YEARS
AGO TO-DAY
Items Taken from the Daily
Leader Files.

Wheat has dropped to SO cents:
flax still remains at SIS.
A considerable number of farmers
got into town today, but say the roads
are in poor condition with the drift.
The train for the north had to turn
back at Bryant and will o reach
here until 6 p. m.
Those who attended Mrs. Stod-
dard's 10-cent lunch yesterday after
noon speak very highly of the choice
character of the entertainment. This
however, was what was expected, and
it proved a financial success too.
The oyster supper at the Presby-
terrain church parlors last evening
was an occasion of genuine cordially
and good eating. The program after
the supper was one of much excel
lence, the Misses Blanche Ball, La
Pearl Wood and Mrs. Thos. Rae each
furnishing recitations or readings and
Miss Edith Fawkes. Mrs. futile. Mrs.
Rowland and Mr.. futile delighting
the audience with solos. while Prof.
Ireland's cornet solos were charming
The receipts of the supper were
$3.50.
The telephone system in the city
has been purchased by Coffey & Lar
kin, who assumed possession yester-
day, and will attend to the business
themselves. The central is already in
their office and everything is quite
convenient for their taking control
of the system without additional
help or arrangements. The new pro
prietorship will no doubt be more
satisfactory 10 our citizens than the
management by an outside company
In this connection it lis also worthy
of note that the agent of the Bell Ions
distance telephone company has beer
in the city looking over the groun(
for a connection with Sioux City
Two gaps-one from Madison to Del
Rapids, and another from Canton t.
Akron-is all that is necessary t
complete the line. The agent expects
to return in the spring and resum,
negotiations with a view to complet
ing the Sioux City connection.

The kind of material from which

ALASKA IS SURE OF PROSPEROUS
 TIME THIS YEAR
Work Will Insure a Big Season Especially in the
 Copper Region

SEATTLE Feb. g. - Every ounce of energy, every influence, large and small, and every atom of power at her command is being put forward by Alaska and her people for the biggest and most prosperous year in her existence, according to George R. Goshaw a copper prospector and operator of the Copper River valley. says the Times.
 We of the north are driving every energy toward a common goal, the permanent development of the Terri tory and I cannot help but feel that we are approaching the best year we have ever had there" Mir. Gosh aw said at The Frye last night "Ey- eryone seems to have that single thought in mind and is striving hard for its realization.
 q worked almost the entire length of the river during the last year and was amazed at the amount Of new work which is going ahead at Q rapid rate. This applies not only 10 the mining industry, but to the fish. cries on the coast. New canneries and traps are being made ready and the fishing people are all enthusiastic over the years prospects.
 The development work being done on the copper properties is mostly by the small independent operators, and an enormous amount of ore from these mines will be taken out during the coming season. These people, contrary to common outside beliefs, are receiving every encouragement and in many cases, real assistance, from the large interests. The bCliei is general, I believe, that the big peo- pie there are forever trying to squeeze out the little ones. From my own experience will say that noth- ing could be further from the truth and there are many who will bear me out in this"

WOMEN TO BE EMPLOYED IN
 FISH CANNERY
Captain Harris at Port Walter Will Have a Crew of Women
 This Season

SEATTLE, Feb. S.-"Do you know that you have never eaten a sar, dine asked Capt. A. M. Harris, man, ager of the Alaska Sardine & Her, ring Fisheries, at Port Walter, who is at the Arlington, says the Seattle Post.Intolligencer.
 "The word sardine is just a trade name; in reality the canned fish are mostly a branch of the herring fam fly. The French sardine is known as the pilchard; the Maine and Cali. fornia sardines are nothing more than young herring Norway's prized sardines are of a species called bris- ling, while the sardine of Alaskg is small variety of the herring family.
 When the company started opera tions last year it intended to pack sardines. but the little fish are somewhat cratic in their habits and didn't show up. We had a fine run of herring and attempted some thing new in the line of packing for the United States. The sardine business is one of the industries that was helped by the war Up un- til wartime the people of the Unit. ed States depended upon Scotland for their supply of kippered herring, The war cut off the supply.
 Last year the company brought in eighty Scotch women from the old country and Canada under the expert labor clause and we packed some 10000 cases of the rkippercd herring. The company has made 1t rule to hire nothing but white la bOr and women wherever possible. Of course, they are not as efficient as the Chinese of the salmon can nery, but then one can keep a plant much more sanitary. We have cot tages for the women working at the plant and are planning on a large dormitory and assembly hall for those employed, The company dur. ing the next season will have to de- pend upon women from the States, as we had to send back all the wO. men from Canada and Scotland"
