GOOD TRAIL THE YEAR ROUND

The best winter route to Fairbanks is via the Copper River & Northwest ern Railroad to Chitina and then over the trail, distance of BIO miles, by auto stage. There is also a foot trail and roadhouses about every twenty miles on am average. By dog team it is about a two weeks journey from Chitina to Fairbanks.
 The best summer route leads from Skagway to Whitehorse, then by the steamers to the mouth of the Tanana river and up the Tanana to Fair banks Seattle Times.
 The above was printed in a news paper story in the Seattle Times in a recent issue and is fairly apt illus tration of the. vagueness connected with the interior Alaska which is all too common even in circles that should be better informed. It is somewhat surprising to find such statements in the Times as it is generally accurate in most of it's articles dealing with the territory.
 Tn the matter of comparison of the river route to Fairbanks with that leading into the same town from Cor dova by way of the Copper River & Northwestern Railroad and the Richardson highway, the latter route . is preferred by many to the SkagWay to Whitehorse and Yukon river route. Both, however, are good. The latter is matter of weeks where the former is a matter of days. On one are reasonably comfortable river steamers and on the other are Dodge and Ford touring cars. The bills of fare on the steamers, while as good as can be obtained, lack the variety and the fresh vegetables and native fruits that one gets along the Richardson Highway. Both routes are noted for beauty of scenery. For the tourist the best trip is to take the river boats going into Fairbanks and come out over the Richardson Highway by automobile. This can be arranged easily as the White Pass officials have but recently entered into an agreement with regular stage lines to handle all passengers desiring to use such a route.
 As for the winter route, the Richard son Highway is admittedly the best, as the Times states. The foot trail, however, is the same one that is used by the auto stages. The use of dog teams on this road in @ commercial sense ceased several years ago. A few privately owned dog sleds may make the trip each winter and consume less than a week from Chitina to Fair banks. During large part of the winter season, autos are able to oper- ate over the entire distance, but in case of extra heavy snowfall, there is a short section crossing the sum-

W@shinu I-aces,

Fine laces should be pasted to a piece of cheesecloth before they are washed. Wash by "sousing" up and down in lukeWarm neutral soap so- lution. Rinse in several clear waters, Lay out flat to partially dry, and then iron on the wrong side, so that the iron only comes in contac. with the cheesecloth and not directly with the lace. When ironed and thoroughly dry, cut open the stitching, and the lace will be as fresh as new, if care fully done.

OKT|BBEHA FARM LANDS
ARE GOOD INVESTMENT

An interesting comparison of the
price of land in Oktibbeha County
with that of Illinois land is made by
H. E. Wamsley, showing that the
market here is just about where it
was in that section thirty years ago.
To prove this Mr. Wamsley has a
copy of last weeks issue of his old
home paper of Arthur, ILL.,, which has
two articles in it regarding the value
Of lands. One is a reprint from an
issue of that paper of February %,
1883 where an advertisement states
that good Moultrie County farms
can be bought for from $40 to $40
an acre" The other article is on the
front page and relates of the selling
Of farm last week for $4O0 an acre.
Land in Oktibbeha," says Mr..
Wamsley who, by the way, is the
proprietor of the Montgomery Stu
dio which is showing the results of
this summer, "today
is about in the same condition that
it was in Illinois thirty years ago,
and it can be bought up and easily
improved into the $4OO class-that
is bound to come and it won't take
thirty years to see it, either. An in
vestment in farm ds-OKTIBBE-
HA farm lands-is one of the best
investments of today"

CAR HAS BEEN
PUT ON M. 8 0. TRAIN

An additional car was this week
added to the M. and o. train and
first-class passenger coach will take
the place of the old one now being
used just as soon as it can be Sc
cured. This is the cooperation ex-
tended by the M. and o. after con-
ference between j. G. Minniece, su-
perintendent, and the railroad COM
mittee on last Friday. Several i'm
provements will be made at the stock
pens also.
This special committee, composed
of r. j. Goodman, H. A. Beattie and
c. P. Barrett, had prepared to ask
for several other and more extern
slve improvements at the stock pens
but after talk with Mr.. Minniece,
which brought out some of the un-
usual troubles that the railroads are
now facing, their requests were modi-
fled. Mr.. Minniece promised that he
would do all that he could for Stark
vile, and has made good at least one
OF his promises within three DAYS.

the College who placed the stamp of
approval upon my work by endors-

Twenty-seven years ago Gen. S. D.

me to properly prepare myself for
the future presidency of the College.
Accordingly, | spent approximately
100000 in completing my educa-

design the work of the institution

erly lead and direct the faculty and

tional work of high class and be able
to represent the College with credit

cational conferences with the leaders
of the nation.
During this time l have, by ex-
perience, become acquainted with the
variety, complexity, and responsible

have diligently studied the various
problems arising at this College and
its sound educational policies, thus
developing, hope, a correct vision
of it's magnitude, Importance, and
scope of work, it's increased useful
ness, its future greatness, and its
highest destiny.
This l had, indeed, set apart as my

great rapidity by the Young Mems
Christian Association of Mississippi
for the holding of it's three state

Children's styles change so slightly

rather a difficult task. The best adj

general style of the child for whom
a dress is intended and mike II just

it can be made
The guimpe dress is a perennial IA
vorite and it is one of the most sensl-
bic, as several separate waists OF
white and different colOred material
may be made to go with each dress
at comparatively trifling expense.
One lesson thar mothers OF small
daughters are learning Is TO permit
the child to take an active part in de-
terminlng the color and general style
of her own clothes. Time was when
children were given no voice in this all
important matter. Their clothes were
selected for them and their part was
merely to wear those clothes. A child
may be made genuinely unhappy by be-
ing compelled to wear dress or hat

consider becoming, and certainly 1t
