The primary laws throughout the whole country have met with tough sledding. They were not found 10 be as workable al it was hoped they would be. In the state of Washing ton, such was found to be the case and the legislature which adjourn ed in that state a few days ago. amended their primary law. The new law provides for primaries, but in stead of voting directly for the can- didates. they vote for delegates 10 a convention to nominate candidates In that way they are sure of having the candidates chosen by party men. They have an opportunity also to perfect a state organization at such a convention. and 10 draw up a plat form.
 There has been some objection in Alaska to the manner ill which J. C. Mcbride. national committee man. chose his divisional committee men. by appointing them himself. All chance for such criticism would be gone if the party held a cOnvru- tion and chose the territorial and division committeeman then. As it is at present there is no machinery for the election of these divisional heads. so that the national commit teemau actually had no other alter native.
 It is to be hoped that IAe legisIa- ture will not clutter up the lawbooks with the Hunt bill. for il never will be workable or euiorcLble.-Ketchi- kan Chronicle.

 Reginald Brown and Urlah Devon were seated In close conference along the path that led to the Dirty Mary. Reginald had rehearsed all he had learned from his mother.
 "Unless we do 1t tonight, Ky" said he, tits all up. What do you say?"
 Urlah broke off a blade of grass and drew 1t with a squeak through his crooked teeth.
 "WeIl get the kid" he snarled.
 Mothers awful worried, though" Reggie continued, "but told her, No risk no gain and I'd go long ways on the road of risk to get Tonnifel Devon"
 Well, we'll get 'er," mOnotoned Urlah, with a far-away look in his bloodshot eyes.

 Edith Devon looked up from the boat deck as her husband approached. He sat down on the bench beside her. a grizzly smile on his face.

BUSY SUMMER COMING
Mark the signs.

Mark the signs. 1921 will see busy summer in Yukon.
 All indications point that way. The spirit has seized rhc people of tho North. It also has seized many who will come North.
 Yukon will be a theatre of action. Not in years, according to the iuGi
 cations. has there been such favor able outlook for all active open sea- son in this territory as is now about
 to begin.
 Two to three weeks will see the snow begin to disappear. Then the
 ice will fade from the river, and the arteries of commerce will clear in May and June.
 Then look out. People will come, and supplies will come. Prospectors and investors will come to enter the new silver fields. Others are coming after alluring gold propO- sitions of long seductive invitation. Others will rush northward by this
 route en route to the oil fields. Tourists will swell the tide,
 The outside is oyerdOne. Sour doughs who have felt the pinch of readjustment and tI~ slump of wag- es are doing their utmost to raise the price to get back. Where there's a will there's a way. Many will get here. Many others not in the North heretofore have heard the call of the North and will respond.
 The entire Land of the Midnight Sun will witness this summer one of the most active in new ventures since the gold rush. The outlook is suspicious. Yukoners on the ground have the first chance. Make ready. Share the harvest.-DawsOn News.

ENvIED HIS SMALL DAUGHTER
Duck Hunter Would Have Given Much
for the Power She Exercised
Over Ducks.

Betty, four years old, lives In a
modern apartment In Brooklyn, facing
Prospect park. She knows all the
squirrels in the park and the birds
that stay there In the summer.
For several weeks Betty has been
lonesome because all her feathered
friends went in search of warmer
weather, but now she has plenty Of
company again. Wild ducks are her
newest friends.
The ducks coming alight In Prospect
park lake and generally remain week
or two to rest and feed. They are
wary Of men. but not afraid of chill
dren, II Betty Is an example.
The other day she was walking
with her father, duck hunter. Betty
noticed she couldn't get near the ducks
while she was with her father. but
when she left him and ran along the
shore alone she found she could ap-
proach them. After q little coaxing
the ducks swan up and ate pieces Of
popcorn from her hand.

VICTORIA NEWS

Victoria has a church second to
none in the state. Liebenthal lost its
chruch two or three years ago by fire.
If there had been some adequate
means to fight the fire, it might have
been saved. Unless fire is smothered
in the beginning, it takes water and
plenty of it.
How would it be for Hays or Ellis
to be without waterworks? How
would they get water? By means of
open wells or by digging cisterns and
trusting to rain, or by hauling it and
pouring it in. In case of fire the only
protection would be the bucket brig
ade.
Open wells in the long run are not
the best for the health of the people
living in a town.
A good waterworks system cuts
down the rate of insurance and makes
it possible for the merchant and resi-
dent often to get increased insurance.
Cheaper insurance makes cheaper
goods.
The cost of the waterworks system
at Victoria will be about $3.50 per
100000 on the present valuation.
But if the insurance rates are cut
down, they may be cut down so much
that the $3.50 may be saved.
On September End, the people in
Victoria will have an election to de-
eide whether or not they want
waterworks system. We know and
so do 80 q e of the adult people in
Hays how W. would vote if we were
there and we cannot vote. Plenty of
water well applied may quench a fire
if poured on at the right time and it
would be the regret of every resident
in Ellis county if a fire like the one
at Liebenthal should victimize the
church at Victoria.
The city of Victoria will have a
waterworks bond election on Septem-
Der End. The people are asked to
vote $4,000 bonds. This town to the
east of US has miles and miles of the
best sidewalks, and large church of
which any resident of Ellis county
can be justly proud. The Mayor and
Council have seen the urgent need of
fire protection for property. There
are some interesting facts and figures
that we, who live in Hays, may never
think of, for we have had city water

so long that we take to it just as nat
urally as the air we breathe. Water
in abundance cannot be found there
everywhere any easier than IN Hays.
There appears to be one or two big
veins of water there and they go a
certain distance and then they fork.
In Victoria the plan is, if the bonds
carry. to make several test wells and
where water can be found plentifully
there drill the city well. The stand
pipe will be up midway between the
business section and the residence
section (Herzog). That will give
pressure through the pipes to all parts
of the town. From the stand-pipe a
large pipe leads to a certain point.
There two pipes take water to HerzOg
and to the business part of town. 1t
is estimated that the whole works will
cost the people only $3.50 per $1,000.
valuation. This will place a fire
hydrant so that very few houses will
be more than five hundred feet away
from a hydrant. In case of fire, the
saving will be many times more than
this $3.50. But water rentals have
not been figured in on this $3.50, so
if you deduct that, it will not cost
very much.
But what's the use of saying any
thing-we can't vote.
