RAILROAD SERVICE
 BETWEEN TOWNS IS TO BE MAINTAINED
Is Reported That Railroad Com. pany Epxects to Keep Ser vice Going Between Sew
 ard and Anchorage

Arrivals from Seward and Anchor. age on the Northwestern report that the snow shed and tunnel work on the railroad between Anchorage and Seward has been completed It is thought that the first through train will run between the two towns by about the latter part of this week.
 Much work has been done on his piece of road this season in an effort to get it in such shape that uninter upted traffic may go over it all win. ter. With the new snow sheds and the enlarging of the. tunnels that has been done this year it is though! that the road may be kept open all winter.
 Trains have been running at both ends of the line continuously, but transfers have had to be made to carry freight and passengers over the gap which was at Mile 76 at the last. This portion of the line now having been covered with snow sheds remains but little bridge work tc be done before the trains can run through between the two towns.

HAD AN EYE TO THE FUTURE
Farmer May Not Have Known Much About Music, but He Was
 Bear on Economy.

\ hard-workinc farmer In Ohio had sent his son to a good school Of music so that he might receive the best in Struction from the beginning. II was necessary to buy a violin for him hut he was such little chap that his teacher thought that so-called half violin" would do. The father. whose resources had been badly taxed. was loath to part with the money for the instrument, but finally did so.
 The lad made rapid progress. and became so proficient that half-yiolin WAS no longer good enough for him. Again he went to the music store with his father. to whom the salesman showed the entire stock of vielins. The parent was apparently dissatitied with all of them. and his gaze wan dered around the shop seeking for something better. Finally he saw a violncello.
 "WeT take that hig violin there.' said he, as a smile of satisfaction spread over his countenance. "sfhe boy won't outgrow that right away"

LABOR'S OWN DAY
First Monday in September Is Legal Holiday in Almost
 Every State Now.
.HE American Federation of La

Dor held m annual convention
 at Columbus, O.. December SIP, 1886. At this session the officers re ported the following:
 At the fourth session of the federa ton n resolution was adopted making the first Monday in September of each year labor's national holiday and rec ommending it's observance by wage workers generally throughout the country. This met with response that exceeded the most sanguine expecta- tions. In our great manufacturing and distributing eenters thousands of workngmen marched in procession and participated in the festivities of the picnic grounds. where the most skilled mechanics and workers in pro fessions and laborers united In com. mon celebration. exchanging friendly fraternal greetings while they listened to the champions of labor discussing the economic and political questions of the day. The good effects of this are so well understood that We recommend it's more general observance still until 1t shall be as uncommon for man to work on that day as on Independence day"
 Nearly all of the states In the Union now have statutes making the first Monday in September a legal holiday thus observing Labor day.
 In order that there be no misunder- standing with reference to the action of congress in enacting legislation upon this subject il Is well to state that the law passed by congress June 2S. 1894, described above. as making Labor day n national holiday only pro- vided that Labor day should be ob- served in the District of Columbia, as well as the then territories.
 Labor day was established In the various states and in the order and on the dates named below: 1887. February 21. Oregon: 1887. March 15. Colorado |; 1887.

REPUBLICAN MAJORITY CLAIM 4 CURB ON LANDLORDS TOO
 FAR-REACHlkG.
TO TAKE UP QUE .JN LATER
Bill Rushed Through House-Demo- crats Complain Question Was Not Fully Explained to the
 Members

Washington. D. C.--The bill reported by Republican majority of the agricul- tural committed carrying out Presi. dent Wilson's request to congress to extend the provisions of the food con- trol act to include nearly all necessi. ties of life. and placing a penalty of 5000 or two years Imprisonment for violation. was passed by the house without record vote and without amendment
 An amendment bringing rent prof. teers within the scope of the law was adopted in committee of the whole, but voted out almost overwhelmingly by the house
 The house. by vote of POO to "A, refused to include the farmers and dairymen. Republican leaders, who were responsible for the defeat of the rent profiteering section, sought to ex. cuse their stand on the ground that the inclusion would make the bill too far reaching and would tend to break down the purpose of the proposed law, which. they claimed, is aimed to reach food and clothing profiteering. They said that rent profiteering would be reached later in specific law
 As passed. the bill includes retailers, but exempts from the penalty clause "any farmer. gardener. horticul;urist. vineyardist, planter. ranchman, dairy. man. stockman or other agriculturalist with respect to the farm products pro- duced or raised on the land owned, leased or cultivated by him"
