One often hears the remark by poo pie living here to the effect that 1t is a wonder more people with capital do noj come to this portion of Alaska for in yestmeniS.
 Patience is one Of the greatest of vir lures, and if these same people will only take time to consider the difficult ties that heretofore had to be encoun- tered in order to look our country over carefully, in the manner that capital will require it to be gone over, little wonder can be expressed at our not ad vancing faster. Then 10 add o all other natural handicaps, along comes this Worlds war aud our entry into 1t. which could not have been avoided, and with their big demand on both labor and capital, to further delay our deveI- opment.
 However, as the railroad comes nearer and heater to completion day by day the big things get closer 10 us.
 When the war is over, when the railway is completed when times and conditions have again gotten them solves into normal state, when freight rates are at a price that they were be- fore the Kaiser and his outlaws started on their parade, and it will be possible for a person, at reasonable cost to take a steamer at San Francisco and be in Cook Inlet waters inside of five days. the big things will come to long wait ing Alaska.

All Americans have been lucky in the matter of taxes, and we, of Alaska, especially so.

Think twice and do not speak at all. At 70 a man is candle in the wind. A thousand soldiers are easily ob- tained; general is hard to find.
 Do not lace your shoes m melon patch.
 Easy to open shop! hard to keep it open.
 Of all important things, the first is not to cheat conscience.
 All pursuits are mean in comparison with learning.
 In united family happiness springs up of itself.
