Household Topics.

What kind of spirit prcdominates at
your dinner table? Is it an atmosphere
of chccrfulncss and laughter? DO you
look forward to your meal hour as some
thing elightful-something to be antici-
patcd because of its plcasantness?
If you strive to attain a harmonious
mental attitude three times n day, it will
soon become habit with you and morose-
ness will disappear Put away all dis
agreeable thoughts and determine that
you will be agreeable and entertaining
during the meal hour The influence will
be contagious.
A good laugh at meal times promotes
digestion and saves doctors bills. There
is less dyspepsia in families where there
is good will and fun at the table, for
laughter is mighty good friend of the

Annual Rental N. Y.
 Lot. S133 Per Sq. Foot

New York. island, once sold by an Indian for S24 and few drinks of frewater, has become so yal- ua ble that tiny plot stretching only 3l feet along Broadway recently was leased for an annual rental of about Sl33 a square foot. Real estate men declare this is the highest figure for which land was ever rented here.
 The site is at Broadway and Thirty fourth street, and extends about fifty feet along the latter. Several years ago a department store wished to buy the corner lot, having procured the land on both sides as the site of a sky scraper. But the owner would not sell, even for a million dollars, and the big store had to erect it's home around the small building.
 A four-story structure, housing on the ground floor a busy cigar store, still remains on the valuable corner lot, and on all sides lofty buildings rear their bulxs of steel and stone. The new lessee. who will pay $3, 900, 900 for rent, taxes and other expenses over a period of twentv-one years. plans to erect a narrow skyscraper on the trl- angular plot. A candy-making cor poration will occupy the building.
 Twenty years ago Robert 5. Smith, who owns the property, sttarled realty men by paying S387,000 for the land, which has only 1.250 feet of area. He had come to America with only S5.75 from his native Russia in 1880. When he bought the property he was told such small strip was not worth the price and could never be profitable.

Development. of Kan tishna Is Retarded By
 Lack of Transportation
Nenana News

Lack of roads iR the KantiShna dis trict are.delaying the commencement of operations on at least two big placer projects a>whole year, according to J. c. Van Orsdel. head of the Mt. McKin- ley gold placers, who has just arrived in Nenana from the properties of his company in the Kantishna. .'If we had had reads,n said Mr. Van Orsdel, ''we would have been operating on our holdings by this time, but as it is, the commencement of our work has been delayed a whole year. Apd the same is true of the Sutherland Howell hy- dHaulic project on Moose creek.
 The Van Orsdel holdings are twelve miles from the Bearpaw river, and all ofsthe hauling thus far done has been accomplished with. the greatest diff culty imaginable, through a low. swampy country, and without even the crudest sort of road. The work was such that it 6nally had to be aban- doned>altoge gether to await the coming of snow.
 Dr. Sutherland and his associates have,a haul of thirty miles from. the Kantishna river, at Roosevelt Landing. Considerable money has been expended on road. work in that locality, but the road. between the river and Moose creek is impassa ble now. difficult of ne- gotiation even for a pack train. It is a good winter road, but absolutely unfit for summer use. The result is that the hydraulic operations on Moose creek. capnot be started before next summer
 : Besides these comparatively new placer projects. there are a consider able number of hard, rock propositions, rich. in, ore, but undeveloped because of the lack of. roads. Many ofltbe proper epties were located years ago, and the agitation fer road work, has been loud and continuous. but without avail. Nothing was ever done ln that district in the way of road building until a small Sum was obtained from the Ter ritory to start winter road from Roosevelt, and the Kantishna oldtimers feel, in view of the showing made by them, that they have not been treated with fairness.
