equivalent regulatory provisions =
with the trolleys, the report adds, and
declares that they might well be used
to supplement trolley service to advan-
tage.
The commission recommends that
special assessments against trolley
companies for construction and main
tenanee of bridges and streets also used
as public highways be eliminated. 1t
urges also that trolley extensions into
new territory where property values
were specially benefited should be paid
for by assessment of such property
and that the amount of such assess
ments should not be added to the phys
ical value of the corporate property.
In this connection the report enumer-
ates among factors that have contrib
uted TO the "present plight of the
trolley lines overbuilding into un,
profitable territory or to promote rea
estate enterprises, involved sometimes
with political improprieties.

FIRST GOLDEN HAIRED GIRL.
Tsilla, Says Legend, Was Carried b.
Angel Close to the Sun.

Angel Close to the Sun.
Do you recall the story of Tsilla
whose hair, among that of women, was
the first Colds
Once upon a time, when the sons of
God beheld that the daughters of men
were fair, Tsilla-her pitcher upon her
shoulder-went to draw water from the
village well. BY chance Phaelim, the
son of God, passed that way on an err
rand for his Master, and was amazed al
the girls beauty, for her eyes were like
stars, and her hair darker and heavier
than night He held out TO her the lily
he carried in his hand, and Tsilla
flushed at the gift like any blush rose
Evening after evening the lovers met
by the well beneath the palm trees
while Phaelim told of his journeyings
for his Master among the far-off stars
Then Tsilla cried: go, Phaelim, let
me gaze closer on those stars which you
have said so often are less shining thar
my eyes"
So, wrapped within her lover S wing
Tsilla drew near to the wheeling plan
cts and heard the music of the spheres
Then growing holder yet, Tsllla wills
pered, 80, Phaelm, grant me to ap'
proach even to tho SUM- So the ange
pursued his course till he came to the
very sun, and about the two lovers
poured that awful cataract of unendur-
able light.
1t was yet dark when Tsilla returned
to her home, but as she passed through
the village street it seemed to tn,
sleepers like the first glimmering OF
dawn. For the source of light had
changed her locks to his own color, and
.he first among the daughters of Eve
went Tsilla, beautiful, with hair OF
streaming gold-Ergene Mason in To

WASHINGTON, Aug 24.-Satisfac-
tory solution of the problem presented
by the electric street railway industry
can be reached through application of
| principles "of ordinary economic and
| business common sense in the unani-
nous opinion of the seven men who
| composed the Federal Electric Rail

haustive hearings and examination of
nearly 100 witnesses, was made pub

'fThe commission can 90 no further
than to point out the principles up
on which the readjustment should be

"Failure to rehabilitate the indus

those upon whom the responsibility

In a summary of its conclusions and
recommendations the commission said
in part: g.,
1.-THE electric railway industry as it
now exists is without financial credit
and is not properly performing its pub
lie function.
''This condition is the result of early
financial Encouragement and economic
causes, accentuated by existing high
price levels of labor and materials and
the failure of the uniform unit fare of
five cents prescribed either by statute
or by local franchise ordinances or con
tracts to provide the necessary reve-
nues to pay operating costs and TO
maintain the property on a reasonable
basis.
"The industry can be restored to a
normal basis only by the introduction
of economies in operation, improving
its tracks, equipment and service and

Harding Elected President by
 Big Majority
Dan Sutherland Elected Delegate to Congress
John Rustgard Elected
 Attorney General

Harding is elected President by an overwhelming majority. The bulletins received are too numer- ous to be printed in this issue, but they show conclusively that there has been a Republican land slide.
 In Alaska Dan Sutherland (Re- publican) has been elected Dele- gate to Congress and John Rust gard Republican, has been cleo. ted Attorney-General.
 The people of Alaska as a whole will be glad to learn that the Delegate has been elected by a safe majority. Both parties have had their fill of biennial delegate ship contests.

Wrangell Tax Rate Fixed
 at 1X Per Cent

There was a special meeting of the town council Monday even- ing for the purpose of making a tax levy for the year 1920. The rate was fixed at 1X per cent.
 For several years the rate has been 2 per cent. This year the majority of the property owners have had their assessments raised and on this account it was pos. sible to lower the rate of taxa tion. The council estimated that with the increased valuation a levy of K per cent should make the tax receipts between $500 and 5000 more than was received last year, which is a close margin.

Case Dismissed

A civil action which was brought by Susie Shakes against Frank Galligan came up for a hearing before United States Commissioner Wm. G. Thomas last Saturday. The plaintiff sought to collect $5.00 alleged to be due her for rent on a small piece of land at Lake Bay. MT. Galligan, in his answer to the complaint questioned the owner ship of Susie Shakes to the land on which she sought to collect rent. The Commissioner dis missed the case, holding that a Commissioners court has no jur- isdiction in cases where land titles are involved.

Wolves Are Wiser Than Foxes

The wisdom of the fox is not so evident as the saying is widespread but the more see of wolves the more respect 1 have for their intel. ligence, which is unique among the non-human inhabitants of the north.
 The second day on the new land met a wolf that came running toward me at first, for he could not fail to mistake me at a distance for a caribou. but when he got within two hundred yards and could see more plainly he erealized my strange ness, and, what is truly remarkable, inferred that might be dangerous. This wolf could certainly never have seen human before, and the only dark thing of size comparable to mine that he had ever seen must have been either caribou or musk OK. The caribou are his prey, and while he seldom kills muskox he at least has no reason to fear that exceptionally clumsy and slow nov ing animal.
 But at two hundred yards this wolf paused and, after good look that satisfied him that l was some thing new in his experience, com mencrd to circle me at that distance to get my wind. When he got it it took him but a sniff or two and he was off at top speed.
 The similarly unsophisticated foxes of this region will commonly run within 10 or IS yards ot you and follow you around for miles, barking like toy dog following a pedestrian. .-Vilhjalmur Stefansson in HarDer's.

Large bands of wolves are said to be menacing the caribou herds in the region between the Rose and O'Connor rivers, which were a menace to the hunters and their outfits. Hunters were obliged to keep their horses in camp to pro- tect them, and Shorty Austin had one horse killed by wolves and one other badly injured.

Candles From Human Fat.

Among soap anomalies may be men, tioned human-fat toilet soap, known over continental Europe the past cen. tury or more and indicated by some medicos as superior emollient. This sounds callous, but the art of soap making is not particularly noted for fine sentiment. The fat stock was ob- tained from cadavers of hospital and morgue derelicts and tried out like any other fat. Candles for special pur- poses have also been made from hu- man fat.-Scientific American.
