PETERSBURG.

Petersburg is not large town
 and may never be, says the editor
 of the Petersburg Report, but the surrounding section, which has Pe-
 terSburg as natural center, is one iof the richest in Southeastern Alas
 ka, and as it develops Petersburg is bound to go ahead. The money
 to be spent by the city during the
 coming summer in the construction iqf a large hydro-electric plant will
 insure the town of an abundant, 'unfailing and cheap supply of juice for lighting, household uses, and power Several of the canneries in this vicinity are already making preparations to secure their power from the town.
 All indications point to a steady growth for Petersburg for years to come, and there is no reason to doubt that those who have faith in the town and stick to it will find that their judgment will yield them rich returns.

WHAT OLE SAYS.

Ole Hanson, erstwhile mayor of Seattle; told large Boston audience recently, says an exchange, that he has visited all the states in the Union except Florida and Vermont, and that he finds the country sick and tired of prohibition. He says Governor Edwards is the most pop ular of all the candidates for Presi- dent, and he predicted his nomina- ton at San Francisco and his cleo tion in November. Ole said he was for Governor Edwards, and that would indicate that he means what he said about the unpopularity of prohibition, for Ole is fond of the popular side.

crats. It is pointed out that he SUD- ported President Wilson's appeal of October, 1918, for a Congress that would back him, and his advocates say that makes him a "good enough Democrat" His full statement, how ever, shows that his support of that appeal was based upon national and not upon party considerations. Is Hoover Republican or is he a Democrat? Or is he neither the one nor the other? The New York
 World, looked upon as the organ of the Wilson administration, announces that it doesn't care what he is, it's for him. There is even talk of his nomination by both parties, an in- credible suggestion, although Monroe was elected to his second term with out opposition.
 Meanwhile Hoover himself is say
 ing nothing but that he is not a
 candidate. He has said no word to
 clear up the mystery of his political
 leanings, if he has any. He has
 made it fairly plain, however, that,
 regardless of the direction of his
 political sentiment, he is not a par
 tisan. And yet a man of his posi-
 tiveness could hardly be neutral That he has opinions on public ques- itions, and strong ones, is shown by
 his public utterances, but still one
 cannot glean from them an indica-
 tion of party bias. Hoover, we say
 again. is unique figure in Ameri- |can politics.

THE CASE OF HOOVER.

Herbert Hoover Is a unique hgurt in the history of American poli- tics, says the St. Louis Globe-Demo- crat (Republican). It is perhaps par adoxical to say that a man is "in politics. who refuses to have any thing to do with politics and who declines most positively to enter the political arena. Yet, willy-nilly, MT. Hoover is a political figure in the public estimation, and in that sense he is in politics whether he likes it or not. That he will be in politics bodily we have no doubt, if the pub lie insistence is strong enough, for Mir. Hoover, we are quite sure, is human, and although he may be sin cerely averse to politica! office, he is too real an American to refuse a call to great service if certain that the call is genuine. Men have been mentioned for the presidency whose political attitude was in doubt, and men have been mentioned who re- fused to permit their names to be presented for the presidential nom ination. Mir. Hooyer's uniqueness is not in single fact, but in a com bination of peculiar circumstances that make him at once singularly at tractive and attractively singular.
 There is, to begin with, the glamour of romance. The Amcri- cans are romantic people in spite of their sturdy practicality. Indeed, their whole history is romance And there is much in this mans career to appeal to this quality. The son of Quaker, an orphan in early childhood, he worked his way through school and university to q degree in engineering. and at p went to Australia as a mining en- gineer Thereafter for many years his life was spent in strange, out of-the-way places of the world, par ticularly in Australia and China, achieving fame and material rewards by his success in his profession, and the beginning of the world war found him in London at the head of a great mining corporation. whose activities embraced continents. Un- der his direction were some 50,0O0 men, working in China, Burma, Aus tralia, Russia, Mexico, California yet America, outside the mining business, knew him not. And when in 1914 he was placed in charge of American relief in London, and in 1915 in charge of Belgian relief, the question, "Who's Hoover?" found few to give an answer. But three years later "Hoover" had be- come a household word in every corner of the limited States. and a new verb had been added to the vocabulary of the people. That is the romance, that leap from a re- mote obscurity to an immAnent fame.
 And now he is being talked of as a candidate for President. not mere. ly by one party, but by both par ties. No one seems to know whether he is Republican or a Democrat. An intimate associate says he is a progressive Republican," which is probably not intended to mean ! Progressive Republican. That is to say, the adjective may be presumed to be distinction of quality rather than of party. But, on the other hand, the greatest demand for his nomination comes from the Demo-

FABRICS ON HAND.

Not only in the smaller towns and the
smaller shops is there n scarcity of ma
terials 1t is a pretty general state Of
affairs and word comes that even IN
Paris the dressmakers are having diff
Guilty in getting the materials they want
in large enough quantities Meantime
thew have TO make Use Of whatever ma
terials are available This means that
though certain fabrics will, as usual,
be more fashionable than others, II IS
going to be a season when more depends
on the wav a dress is made than on the
material from which it is made. Many
of the most interesting dresses created
so far bv the French dressmakerS have
been made from materials on hand, used
not because they are especially IN fashion
but because it is necessary to use what
materials arc available.
SO just you get busy and use up your
old materials Last year YOU thought
that YOU would like to Use them up but
YOU felt that tricolette was fashionable
and so YOU couldn't Use the old materials
You had some broadcloth safely hidden
away from moths but you didn't want
to use that because YOU didn't think that
"it was being worn.
Again there are a good many so-called
compose suits and frocks that is suits and
frocks made from two pieces of material,
possibly plaid material and plain a
striped and a plain Usually they art
used evenly, so it is hard to say which
is the trimming and which is the material
itself. This makes it possible to use up
short lengths of materials to good
advantage. If YOU have plain piece of
goods. two or three yards, you can buy
some checked or plaid material Of har-
monizing color TO 90 with it. Or If you
have the fancy material you need then
buy the plain.
Once had we combined materials IN this
wav il would have been very apparent
that we were using up left-overs, but now
it is usual in new frocks made by the big
dressmakers. The effect is very smart.
