LEADERS TELL Of
 ALASKA NELL

Gov, Thos. Riggs, jr., and former Delegate Charles A. Sulzer were en- tertained at the Arctic Club yester- day by the executive committee of the Alaska bureau, Seattle Chamber of Commerce and Commercial Club. Vice Chiarman William calvert, jr., presided.
 Gov. Riggs, who is here on his way pack to Alaska from Washing ton, E. C., where he has been for more than month in the furtheranc of Alaska's needs said, in addressing the members of the executive com mittee of the Alaska bureau:
 "The real cause for the lack of development in Alaska is due to un- certainty. Under present conditions Alaska is a country of regulations, many of a conflicting nature, which have a tendency to discourage pion- ger settlement.
 ''I have been fortunate in obtain ing the enthusiastic support of Sec retaries Lane and Houston and have asked for an appropriation suffi- cient 10 introduce the musk-ox in Alaska. They would range the arc tic portion of the territory, which is unsuited for agriculture and other development and should in time be- come most valuable source of mea supply.
 "The principle requisite to the pro- gress of Alaska is the development of tho territory's rich mineral de- posits and the inexhaustiole store of raw products which furnish the mar ket essentially to agriculture devel- opment.
 "We secure practically all of our supplies from Seattle, the gateway of the north said Coy. Riggs in closing, "and we rely on seattle to aid us in the solution of problems that will lead to the development Of our rich resources and make for stable and prosperous population.
 Former Delegate Chas. A. Sulzer said:
 Many millions of american capi- tai have been invested in the paper pulp industry in British Columbia, and the papers of our Western states and Alsska are getting their supply

MISS BUTT TO REMAIN
 TEN DAYS LONGER

Miss Lois Butt, teacher Of the primary grade in the Skagway Pub lie scnool will remain here until the arrival of the steamship Jeffer- son instead of laying tonight on the Princess Mary as previously an' nOuHced. The reason for. this Is that the teacher who was to have arrived on the Princess Mary to- night, according to advice receiY- ed by the school board yesterday was unavOidably delayed in leaY' ing the states, and would sail for Skagway on the next boat leayi Seattle. Rather than leave the pri' mary class without an instructor, Miss Butt has consented to remain until the arrival of the teacher who has been engaged to fill the posi- tion which is made vacant by her resignation.
 When questioned as to the name Of the new teacher Chairman Hahn of the school board stated that this information was not at hand, a.s
 had arragned with @ person in Se- attle while in that city recently, to secure a suitable teacher to fill the position, anr the board had re cefved a cable stating that teach CT was leaving there to fill the vacant position.

AID TO RETURNED MEN

Ottawa Citizen: The men from overseas are to be discharge6 from the army on the day they arrfve at the dispersal station of their home district. The last official act of the department of militia, before the men disperse to their homes, released by their discharge certifi- cates from any further militay sery- Ice, will be to hand each man substantial cheque. DeferreG' pay Is due to the single men, post dis charge pay to all men with one years service or more, and civilian clothing allowances to every man. The cheques issued to the men by the paymaster at the dispersal sta ton, are hardly likely in any in stance to be less than one hundred dollars; in many instances they ex- ceed ;l, thousand dollars.

For the benefit of these of SO 'cialistic turn of mind, it would be well to point out at this time the false economics involved under gov ernmen. financing of industries. Be- fore congress there is pending a bill to extend the guarantee of $2.1O per pushel on wheat. This price was necessitateG, apparently, by war conditions few months ago. It is now feared that the govern ment must take over the entire 1919 wheat crop in order to live ID to it's word. The actual value of that wheat crop on the market is likely to be $1.5O. It, therefore, follows that the taxpayer pays twice the difference between S1.50 and $2.1O. He pays, first as taxpayer this 50 cents in the form of taxes; then he pays the SO. cents again be- cause the government having bought the wheat must sell it back to him in the form of flour for his bread.-South Bend Tribune

CAN YOU PREACH?

The Southern Methodist church is
planning to enlist twenty thousand
laymen as preachers. The fact that
the church has 10000 churches but
lacks several thousand preachers to
supply those churches is the reason Of
the call for laymen preachers. Busi-
ness and professional men can go out
into the rural districts and fill pulpits
that are not supplied with pastors.
The Dallas (Tcxas) News, says that
the leaders Of the denomination in
that State will make all the more
forceful preachers because they will
take the experiences of busy week
among busy men into the pulpits with
them and their sermons will, there
fore, be practical and to the point

Woodrow Wilson is still the CEN

Notwithstanding it's change of loca-
ton. And it is strange, too, that the
gerat American champion of a
righteous peace, should now train
his guns, not on a handful of cring-
ing and whining German delegates
representing a crushed but pugna-
cious enemy nation, but upon a new
enemy-a more dangerous enemy
than the shacklcd Germans-upon a
determined group of disappearing

for overthrowing what the president

A BAD DAY FOR PROFITEERS

AS an aftermath of the prize fight
at Toledo, Ohio, in which Willard,
the world champion, was whipped, it
Is interesting TO note that the fellows
who were trying to make money by
gOuging the visitors, got badly left.
They thought the city would be SO
crowded that people would pay any
price for accommodations. In one
instance n man fitted up an old aban-
doned fivc-Story building with cots,
expecting men to be so tired at night
they would pay $500 for a place to
rest. Only 10 people took advant-
age of the cot proposition and II
of them got away without paying.
Another fellow chartered boats to
carry people very short distance to
the fight, but nobody used his boats.
Another crowd bought a big block of
tickets that they were going to sell
at 500 per cent. profit, but it was
found that the tickets still in the
hands Of legitimate agents supplied
the demand and they had their big
block Of tickets left uncallcd for and
unsold.
1t was a bad day for human hogs
as we'll as for Willard.

HOW OLD is THE CHICKEN
YOU BUY? OR HOW YOUNG

A good method of determining the
age Of dressed fowls according to spe-
cialists of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, is to grasp the
end Of the breast bone farthest from
the head between the thumb and fin
ger and attempt to bend it to one
side. In very young bird, such as a
broiler chicken or green goose, 1T
will bend easily like the cartilage Of
the human ear. In bird year or so
old, it will be brittle and, in an old
bird tough and hard to bend or break.
Inscriptions dealers sometimes
break one end of the breast bone be-
fore showing the bird on .lc market.
in order that the buyer will believe
the bird to be a young one.
