same kind. Last fall an agent came
along, selling a soap that would do
everything you can think of, from
identifying the female complexion to
chasing the COWS out of the corn. The
agent talked as though he had eight
day works in him, like our old grand
fathers clock, and he didn't make any
impression until he said the soap
would heal all skin diseases Of man
or beast. It happened ut that period
that Mr.. Curfew had an imitation bird
dog that he traded a good watch for,
and gave a dollar to boot, said dollar
having been extracted from my pri-
vate savings, and never returned.
"This dog had the mango or some
disagreeable disease that caused him

ner. He was always scratching and
rubbing against everything he could
find, first and last. One day he up
set my parlor table and broke all my
best china, which I had placed on the
table a few minutes before. He also
upset the sewing machine and the
churn, and l don't know what else.
$50 when Mr.. Curfew heard that
the agents soap would cure skin dis
eases, he insisted upon buying a cake,
and after he had gone he began to
wash the dog with that marvellous
soap. I don't know what ingredients
said soap contained, but after it was
rubbed into the dogs skin that I'M
fortunate animal became frantic and
acted as though it's reason tottcred on
its throne. Mr.. Curfew tried to hold
the beast, and it reached around and
bit his ear almost off, and of course
he released it then, and the uproar
he made, as he danced around the
house, holding his ear with one hand,
and %summoning the police with the
other was simply scandalous.
meanwhile the dog ran off, en-
tirely demented. Mrs. Turpentine
was crossing the road pushing her
baby buggy, when the animal collided
with said vehicle, and spilled her off
spring into the mud. I am willing
to admit that such an experience was
%aggravating, hut 1 don't think it was
]adylike in Mrs. Turpentine to come
over to my house with her muddy in

under my nose, and tell me that for

with him so very much when he
picked up a brick as he was passing

front door.
"For. two days people were coming
here claiming that we ought to reim-
burse them for damages done by that
dog. It seemed that the unfortunate
animal made a circuit Of the town,
and left a trail of desolation behind
him. He upset six pans of milk for
Mrs. Trumpeter, and scared Smiths

BOOST FOR ALASKA FLEETWOOD

Paper" weekly New York publication devot- ed everything regarding the manufacture, sale and use of pulp and paper contains an article ln connection with Alaska source of pulp supplies. This magazine is leader in it's field and accepted among paper manufacturers reliable author ity.
 The article is headed, Are Alaska Pulp-Wood Lands Practical Possibiltty?", and discusses its lation Canadian supply sources, whether or not it compete with Canada and the possibilities of Alaskan timber resources from standpoint Of profitable development in the future. The ad- vantages enumerated include immense supplies of timber ample power and low prices Some American newsprnt manufacturers" says the maga- zine, believe that the of transportation will off set these advantages to such extent that Alaskan pulp will be able to compete with the Canadian product in the future. The fact that pulp and paper mills being successfully operated in nearby British Columbia seems to be evidence enough that Alaska with similar timber and power resources and with comparable transportation ia cilities, compete with Canada far busi- the Pacific Coast is concerned"
 Despite this view, the article comedies that new of supply for material imperative If the industry is not pass entirely from the control of American interests In order to keep this control in American hands, mills have been springng up in California; Washington and Oregon. This has been particularly noticeable in lumber mills which have brought the center of the timber industry to the Pacific Northwest That this has not at yet been true of the pulp industry is said to be due to other than lack of material resources and because of the much larger investment required per unit and the need for power.' The writer then admits that this influence will not longer re- tard development of Alaskan resources. saying, But it evident that Alaska with it's practically permanent supply of raw wood and its possi- bilites of water power development is destined to become second Norway Conceding that for a few years Alaska will not be able compete with the Eastern United States or Canadian pulp in the province of Quebec, Ontario. There no question but that real opportunities for Pacific trade open to such mills

 The same Shortcomings charged against the rail roads under government control and operation con tinue under private ownership and operation Stu dents of the transportation problems of the country have this situation looming up for years For 40 years the net income of railroads has been uni formly decreasing in proportion to the total income The during the past 20 years have been stead fly losing the profitable part of their business. Communication passenger traffic, paying much larger profit than long distance traffic, has been grabbed off by the trolleys automobiles For short dis tances, electric transportation has far cheap CT than the steam driven transports and hence more profitable.
 Freight has gone through a similar transforma- tion. Profitable freghts not those composed of bulky commodities like coal iron, steel, and other articles of enormous tonnage but are represented in silks transported from center to another, manufactured goods leather on goods and wooden fabrics from manufacturing points and distributed vide The completed product is the of profit than bulky material.
 This particular traffic is carried and more by trucks, which go when and where want ed. tI delivers freight to the door and is not sub jcct to the delays of railroad system. In the east section of the country it has been proven that householder more cheaply consider able distances by truck than the railroad De- partment stores receiving shipments direct from factories by truck. All of these things mean loss of profit to the railroad.
 Now to this loss of profitable traffic is the real problem confronting the roads, whether they stay under private operation go back under the government To attempt to solve it by jumping freight rates is merely temporizing Higher rates means increased loss of tonnage. This in turn, if the remedy be pursued, entails future rate increases.
