Why You Should Go
To Church

To be of no church is dangerous. Religion, OF
which the rewards distant, and which is animated
only by Faith and Hope will glide by degrees out of
the mind, unless it be nvigorated by external ordi-
nances, by stated calls to worship, and the sautary
influence of example.

NO ELECTION AT EAGLE

No election was held at Eagle River on account of the circumstance that the Judges of Election did not show up at the polls. Sulzer lost a plurality of two by the failure of the election. ..s..
 It is likely that no elections were held at Jualin. Hadley, Suloia Bay, and perhaps, other small precincts.
 The returns from Chilkat, Scow Bay. Beaver Falls and Loring have added to the pluralities of Britt, Sow erby, White, Casey and Davies. The precincts yet to report are expected to give pluarlities to all Democratic candidates. If there should be any changes in the Legislative candidates 1t would be to elect James J. Con nors, Democrat, but that it not ex- pected, as Davies is leading Connors now by 137. Casey is leading Nc Cormick by 85, and will increase that
 Britt Has Big Plurality

 Perryt Wiley is leading for Road Commissioner by 133 votes over Will son. and will increase this lead.

Alaska Fish Sa|ting Bly, products Company Suing
 Treasurer for Sum of $10,289.
DISPUTES THE ACTS
Claims That the Measures Passed by the LegisIa- ture and Applied to it
 Are Void.

An important suit has been filed
 with the Clerk of the District Court
 in which the Alaska Fish Saltils and ByProducts Company, is suii..s w. G. Smith, the Territorial Treas-
 urer, for $10,289 with interest. The company is located at Killis- | noo. In relation to the cause for
 suit, after quoting the Territorial
 tax law, the company says:
 That each of said acts attempts l to and do amend. alter and modify
 the fishing laws of the United States, providing for the taxes of business l and trade in Alaska. passed by the Congress of the United States, and in force prior to the time of the said Organic Act; and that of each said acts so enacted by the Legislature of Alaska was passed without authority
 50 to do, and is, and at all times has been, contrary to the provisions of the Organic Act, further in that inter aria each of said acts attempts to and does levy a tax for Territorial purposes in excess of one per centum upon the assessed valuation of plain tiffs property in Alaska for each year that said act remains. in force, although no provision is made in either or any of said acts for the assessment of the valuation of the plaintiffs property in the Territody of Alaska so levied upon; and fur ther that the taxes levied under each of said acts are not uniform upon the same class of subjects and are not levied and collected un- der the general laws"
 The tax imposed was $2.0O per barrel on fresh oil. The complaint claims that the license levied 'is "ex- cessive. exhorbitant, prohibitive, con- fiscatory, discriminatory, extortion- ate. oppressive and unreasonable" and would oblige the company to suspend business.
 The suit carries with 1t double importance, attorneys say, as it will test the revenue laws passed by the Alaska Legislature.

tied practically to the smaller class Of
coaling stations, since track spacing will
usually limit the diameter, and if the
bin is made deep in proportion to its
diameter the coal is likely to arch or
choke, instead Of flowing freely, says
"The Engineering News-Record."
Advantages claimed for the circular
design are economy of material, and low
cost due to the use Of special circular
forms. This applies to the plain cylin-
drical shape. Where the design is COM
plicated by interior elevator legs and
sand pocket, as in the stations mentioned,
the cost is increased considerably, and
may be about the same as for rectangu-
lar design.
Two of these circular bin concrete COAL
ing stations have been built for the st.

Test for Rope

~ from hard fibres, such as manila,
sisal and New Zealand hemp, manila
being the best for various reasons, espe-
cially it's resistance to mildew. No test
has been known whereby the purchaser
might be certain of what he was buying.
Mr.. c. E. SWEET, of Arthur D. Little,

determining this with certainty, and the
test has been adopted by the United

Around the World and Back A6ain

labor their kimono is greatly modified in
form, especially in the sleeves. The mid
die class, who wear foreign dress in daily
business and native dress in the evenings
at home, find 1t most expensive TO keep sup
piled with two sets of clothing Thus Tor
the lower classes and the middle class
reform of clothing, rendering it less cost
ly, is Immediately pressing"
AS concerns dwellings, he continues,
there are two questions Of immediate i'm
portance:
"The first is concerned with the structure
Of the Japanese house, and the second with
the seating conveniences Of the home. 1t
must be admitted that the structure Of our
houses is in some ways rather rough and
primitive, yet in other ways 1t is very
cheap and artistic, especially in the interior.
But 1t is unable to endure the stress Of vio-
lent storms, such as frequently visit Japan,
and its frailty exposes it to confagrations
that often lick up our matchwood villages
and towns like so much paper. A Japanese
city would have no chance Of escape from
an enemy aeroplane; since it would be set
on Are at once. This lack Of resistance to
fire and storm is a great deficiency in the
native dwellings Of Japan. How to remedy
the defect is grave question; for the en-
ton of houses is too expensive for the aver
age citizen Of Japan. In any case the jap
anese are not yet capable Of living in Euro
pean style houses comfortably and in
sanitary manner.
"The climate of Japan is very destructive
to stone and marble; and the native houses
are built as temporary measure, having to
be renewed every few years. 1t is, however,
much easier to rebuild of wood than Of
stone or brick. Consequently the wooden
house is still best adapted to the circum-
stances Of Japan, as the experience of many
centuries has proved. Ground is expensive
and the small proportions of the native
house allow the best economy of site. Blu.
large buildings, like schools, hospitals. bar
racks and business houses, that occupy
much space, are usually constructed In
Western style Of architecture, though usu-
ally of wood, as being less expensive. Ugly
semi-foreign structures are also beginning
to mar our towns and cities, especially in
the suburbs.
"The old native custom Of always squat
ting down on the tatami floor of the house
is now fast giving way to the use of chairs,
though among the poor the old habit still
almost universally prevails. The Japanese
sit on the mats during periods Of rest at
home in the evenings, but during the time
of labor and of general business they are al
ways standing or else seated on chairs in
their offices. Thus sitting on the floor real
ly occupies but a small proportion of the
working time, or of the actual lifetime, Of
the Japanese. 1t is, therefore, quite a mis-
take to suppose, as some Western folk do,
that the Japanese spend most of their time
squatting on the hoor."

this to say Of the experiment:
with this construction numerous SAFE

surges which may be induced in the lines,
SO there will not be the tendency to break
down insulators. Furthermore, damage to
telephone equipment and hazard to persons

Standing Like Peter

IDETER Stood and Warmed Himself"
L is the title of an article by George
Parkin Atwater published in "The At
lantic Monthly" in the course of which
the writer says:
THE Church has many problems. 1t is
hpneycombed with individualism and i'm
perilled by divisions. 1t must work out its
own salvation, But when it comes to issues
Of right and wrong, the Church takes its
place with right The Church In our land
stands--as Peter stood Of old-frst, to let
conscience speak and to struggle against
the instincts of peaceful habits, and then it
goes, sword in hand, committed to stcug-
gle, to war-a war Of no compromise, OF art
full evasion Of a decision, but war to VIC
tory.
To-day the duty Of the Church is slowly
getting a different emphasis. Standing as
Pster stood, debating with conscience the
value Of peace, the Church must and will set
IT, face against the moral iniquity, the ut
seFly objectionable dssertion Of its cause,
q concluding q peace based on any other
eonsideration than the complete mastery
and dissipation Of every evs! organization

row that Japan aims to be one of the most
progressive of industrial nations the native
kimono is sure to be less and less in evil
dence among the workers and directors Of
industry. Japanese laborers have never at
tempted to wear the kimono, their dress be-
ing more like tight fitting Western UNDER
wear, while many of the higher middle class
people now wear foreign dress. Among the
lower classes the kimono is adopted only
as the dress of holidays and times of leisure.
The above remark applies, of course, to
men; for the women of Japan, of whatever
class, have always clung to the graceful
kimono as we'll suited to their taste,

efficiency of people largely depend on the
quality and quantity of the food available.
The fact that the Japanese take rice in
stead of bread, and fish instead of meat does
not necessarily mean that their food is less
nourishing than that Of Western people.
The staple food of Japan is as economic and
nourishing as the people need; but the need
Of improvement in the cooking Of it is great.
The present method of cooking rice is by
washing it in cold water and then boiling it,
each family boiling just sufficient for it's
daily needs. Thus an immense amount of,
time, labor and fuel is wasted by adhering
to the ancient mode of cooking. The habit
of cooking for every meal may be due to the
climate, which docs not allow food to be
