New York, Oct. 1.-THE Chinese
take their lightest designations more
seriously than we do. Along with the
great American institution of the So
da fountain has come vivid and
lightsome assortment of names. Mer-
ny Widow, Spring Loves, Strawberry
Delights, are only samples of what
the counter menus offer Us; while at
the new and only Chinese soda foun-
tain in New York, the prize expensive
item on the list of refreshments is a
Sun-Yat-Sen frappe, named for the
great Chinese reformer and states
man.
Next to the soda fountain, the most
sensational innovation in Chinatown
is the Chinese Merchants club, which
was opened the other day with great
ceremonies, at Al Mott street. The
clubhouse is six-story building, cost

The first industrial survey Of
Salem OF any importance and
compiled in such a way to be
readily accessible was completed
BY the Commercial club after no
little effort some two years ago
and shows that 5t present this city
has an annual pay roll Of s4,-
96S.202
Taking this total amount and
giving the city credit for a pop
ulation Of 10000, the per capita
annual income is s248.50. Taking
five as the number OF members in
an average family the income OF
one Salem family is S1242.50.
While this may be small mat

Short Skirts
Take Toll of
Men S Eyesighi

San Francisco, Cal, July T.
Short skirts and sIlk-clad ankles
OF women have distorted men IS
eyesight until now 80 per cent Of
the male population is afflicted
with the strange and new optical
disease, which science has design
ated, for purpose of Identification
as "ocularis delectare." Further
more short skirts are said to be the
cause of many traffic accidents
which occur to-day.
At least that is the informa-
tion from DIR, r.. C. Augustine,
president OF the American Optic
metric Association, who has dis
covered the new afflictions.
Age apparently has nothing to
do with the disease, for both old
and young will suddenly, like
bolt from clean sky, be stricken.
DR., Augustine claims that many
are stricken while crossing the
pedestrians and auto
mobile drivers.
The following diagnosis by DR.. /
Augustine discloses the symptoms
Of the disease:
The male OF the species, thus
affected, suddenly loses all sense /
Of time and place-home or other
wise. His vision, distorted, is
filled with silk-clad ank-
les, and he bumps into other pedes
trians, or his ear hits another
machine, or his street car crash
as into something or the other
hat II shouldn't.
$50 far science has found no
'ure for this" says the specialist
SO common is the affliction
hat optometrists all over the
ountry are discussing 1t at va
'ious State conventions.
"ocularis delectsre," translated
nto English means to '1ure the

FARMERS FOR ALASKA

When the governments Alaskan railroad is completed, probably be fore the first of April next, an effort will be made by commercial and ad- ministrative interest ts to spread be- fore the world the attractions of the territory as a land of promise for the homesteader. Governor Scott C. Bone, the territory's new eXecu- tive. is said to be earnestly in favor of the movement. which, according Co John Lincke, associate editor of the Anchorage Daily Times, aims to bring in 100000 farmers to settle the lands along the railroad between Anchorage and Fail banks.
 The Alaskan spring begins early in May; summer fingers until late September, and it is pointed out that the lands classed as available for farming are capatle of producing everything grown In the northern prairie states, while cereals, grain, hay and all but the tropical fruits and vegetables grow twice as fast as in lower attitudes, because the sun shines from l6 to 20 hours a day during the growing season. U,;r,.;,,o yg sai1 a11aady tO have oh- tained an encouraging start.
 The agricultural belt along the railroad contains what is said to be the largest birch forest area in the world. Birch brings $15O per thoUs- and feet in Seattle, where it is man ufactured into furniture, so that the homesteader may have a comfort able source of revenue while clear ing his holdings.-Aaska Dispatch

OR PEPTINIIST?

The Wall Street Journal puts some good advice in the form of a para ble. as follows:
 Pessimist and OpumIst met one day and they began to discuss the merits of their respective philoso- phies. Everything that is isn't, said Pessimist. Nothing can be set to rights" Optimist replied. You are wrong. friend; everything that isn't IS. From nothing everything was created. For everything wrong there is a remedy" Then Pessimist challenged him: Come. let us take the open road together: We will see what We shall see"
 They had hardly started before they were overtaken by a stranger His face had no trace of bitterness. Pessimist felt indifferent toward him. He was very silent; no iuyit- ing smile nlumined his countenance. Optimist felt no attraction toward him. But he seemed civil enough, SD they invited him to join their phi losUphic walk.

"Thp way you ruin them honncts O yourn sure is scandal Mir. NcGuffey concluded. "If I had a temper as nasty as yourn I'd take soothiu' slrup or somethin' for it."
 
 Before proceeding further with this narrative, due respect for the readers curiosity directs that We divergc for a period sufficient to present brief history of the steamer Maggie and her peculiar crew. We win begin with the Maggie.
 She had been built on Puget sound back in the eighties, and was one hun dred uud six feet over ull, twenty-siX feet beam and seven feet draft Driven by a little steaple compound engine. In the pride of her youth she could make ten knots However. what with old age and boiler scale, the best she could do now was six, and had Mir McGufey paid the slightest heed to the limitations imposed upon his steam gauge by the supervising in spectOr of boilers at San Francisco, she would have been limited to five. Each annual inspection threatened to be her last, and Captain ScraEgs, her sole owner, lived in perpetual fear that eventually the daY must arrive when. TO save the lives Ut himself and his crew. he would he forced to ship a new boiler and renew the rotten umbers around her deadwUod. She had come into Captain ScrIggs' pos session at public auction conducted by the United States marshal, follow ing her capture as she Sneaked into San Francisco hay one dark night with a load Of Chinamen and opium from Enspnada. She had cost him fifteen hundred hard-earned dollars.
 Scraggs-Phiueas P. Scraggs, to employ his full nume-was precisely the k.nd of man one might expect to own and operate the Maggie Rat faced, snaggle-toothed and furtive, with low cunning that sometimes passed for great intelligence, ScraCgs' character is best described in a home ly American word. He was "ornery." A native of San Francisco, he had grown up around the docks and had developed from meSShOy or a river steamer to master of bay ar river stramboats. although it Is not of rec ord that he ever commanded such Q

 "Oh," replied Opumist, he will get clear all right. Some farmer with a team will be along by and by"
 They turned to their new compau- ion for his opinion. but in the same moment they saw him get down and under the car. They watched him for some minutes. Soon he rose. covered with the dirt of the road. He said to the owner of the car. Friend, if you will get in and take the wheel I'll shove from behind. and I think you'll pull out all right" In a few seconds the car started or. The willing stranger began to dust off his clothes with his palms. Then it occurred to the two philosophers to ask his name, for hitherto they were unaware of his cOgnOmen.
