MREFORMERS

The fortress of AIammon is strong and tall,
Its gates are heavy, and thick its wall
Its guards and great of thew.
While who batter the gates are few.
The fortress of Mammon has frowning guns.
And deep and wide is the moat that
About its edges, yet none the
We not awed by it's mightinsss
The fortress of Mammon is ringed about
With bristliug trenches and barriers stout
Yet we move to fresh attack
And forces are beaten back.
But the dead7we leave not dead: in vain,
For where their blood leaves crimson stain
Shall stand their brothers al unafrad
To take up gladly the fight they made.
The warders OF Mammon are paid with gold
And well and bravey their posts they hold,
But the spirit of that is clean and high
Shall wholly conquer them, bye and bye.
In spite of treason, in spite of loss.
OF great guns frowning the walls across,
The fortress of Manmon weaker grows
Beneath the hail Of our ceaseIess blows.
We shall not shatter its walls today,
Our generation shall pass away
Sons of ranks shall fill
While the fortress Mammon stands there still.
But the fight we're making shall never cease
And the camp of Manmon shall not know peace
Till the breach is made in the towering wall
And the fortress of Mammon at length shall fall!

Material deve1ODment is anticipated throughout Alaska during the coming wear: general revival of mining activi- ties has been manifested in 1922. De- velopment of the pulp and paper in dustry of Alaska is beginning, as in dicatpd by the re-opening of the plant of the Alaska Pulp & Paper Go. at apeel River after a year of inac- tivitv. This was the first plant of it's kind in Alaska and was closed after six months operation last year. The herring output of Alaska this season has an estimated value of S2,500,OOO. Contracts have been entered into by the Associated Oil Co., and Standard Oil Co. to develop their holdings in the Cold Bay District. which will in volve a prospecting expense of ap- proximatelv S15OO0O each. The Gen eral Petroleum Go. has negotiated for like holdings in the same field. There is also increased interest in fox farm ing in the Territory. The heaviest tourist trade in Alaskan history has ,ust been completed. On the Victoria s last trip down fir m Nome, Alaska, she brought s75O,OO gold bullion. the early cleanup in the far northern mining camps.
 Seattle's new 600 room, S3,000, 900 rotel, on which construction will start shortly, will be called "The Olympic"
 The Hammon Consolidated Gold Fields interests near Nome have in stalled two nine-foot dredges, each with a capacity Of 5000 cubic yards, and plan to put two more dreges of the same type in operation on their properties next year. The properties total 5000 acres.
 The Alaska S. S. Go. has purchased the 2071 net ton steamer Medon from the Shipping Board and will use her as an additional vessel for transport ing ore from the copper mining cen ters of Southwestern Alaska.
 Gen. w. F. Richardson, who has ar rived from Alaska expresses optim- istic views as to the future of Alaska and it's rapid development. He spent seven weeks mapping out wagon roads as feeders to the Government railway from Seward to Fairbanks. He says with successful exploration of the oil fields in the Cold Bay dis trict there will be another rush Of people to Alaska. He says more than a thousand acres in the vicinity of Fairbanks are being successfully cul- tiyated. Coal can be delivered for $500 and $500 a ton from the Nenana fields to Fairbanks. A spur four miles long will be built from Healy to Ne mana.

IN SEARCH OF TRUTH

The father, a lawyer, was buslly engaged writing at his desk when his young son entered the room.
 After a moments silence the child said: "How old is Santa Claus, fath- ther?"
 "I don't know" was the answer.
 A few moments later the boy tried again, Did the stork bring me here?"
 'T don't know"
 "Do cannibals eat people?"
 "I don't know!" fairly roared the exasperated parent.
 Say, father" said the small son. curiously, "Who made you lawyer, anyway"

OSSlFIED MAN HAS NO
 TIME TO BE UNHAPPY

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Oct. 8. - Tony Modjeski, a puzzle to science, hasn't moved a fraction of an inch on his cot for nine long years, has been an invalid for two decades, and al- though facing a slow and horrible death, says he hasn't enough time to live to be unhappy.
 For Tony, who is forty-two, and one of the really few ossified men personification of optimism, say at tendants at the hospital here, where he is a patient.
 When Tony was thirteen he told his father chills in his spinal region an moved him.
 At seventeen he was crippled and at thirty-three he was placed upon cot where he remains in the same posi- tions, year after year. Of late his jaws became joined, and few days ago a dentist was called to extract one of the patients teeth that he might be fed by use of a tube.
 Big league baseball and radio are Tony's hobbies. He experiences a real thrill every time Babe Ruth knocks a homer.
 Tony, with death not far away, man. ages to be happy with it all.
 Haven't time to be unhappy" says he.

ALASKA BEAR IS PIONEER IN
 "DRY WORK
By s. B. Croft

y.
 Also a story of bear. A prohibition bear, an animal forerunner of human reformer A bear on the warpath, militant and vengeful against the de- mon rum.
 Many there are who pause for mo- ment to gaze upon Carrie Nation for ever doomed to sniff the sweet breezes that wait through the steel bars of her cage at Woodland Park admire her, gaze wonderingly and de- part.
 Carrie Nation doesn't care She sits gazing with dreamy eyes across the sunlit spaces of the park, ruminating in bear fashion upon her fate.
 Carrie, demon reformer, has a past a past that reeks of alcohol
 Years ago, in Seward, Alaska, be- fore the name of Volstead was heard Carrie was raised in captivity as 3 furry brown cub She spent her child hood days playing about the wharf Whenever a steamer came in from Seattle or San Francisco, the bear cub was on hand to greet the strange dogs and many bitter duels ensued, in which Carrie was invariably the vie tor. She was a landmark of the city, great awkward bear rambling about the little mining city at all hours of the day or night Her name then was Bobby"
 She hated saloons, especially one run by "POrcupine Jim"
 One day the owner of Stewards prin- cpal grog shop showed up at the opening time and found a complete wreck. The plate glass front had been smashed as though by an ele- phant Inside the place Whiskey bot ties, beer mugs, and glassware, mingled in jagged, broken debris, be- meath the overturned bar An alco- hoic stench arose. Seward boasted a chief of police who wore tin star and packed enough hardware on his hips to sink a fleet.
 To this parsonage the saloon keeper appealed for vengeance.
 The entire police force investigated the wrecked booze dispensary.
 While they were engaged in their deductions. frequently sampling the remaining stock they heard a loud crash. In walked the bear, climbing through the broken window, intent upon finishing the job. She was dubbed Carrie Nation on the spot.
 The great brute remained in Sew ard for several months after that, dur 1 ing which time she took particular joy in smashing booze joints. Finally the total of her crimes mounted so high that her departure for other climes was imperative. And so she shipped to Seattle. A queer fate, truly. Carrie Nation was a reformer, prohibition bear, a leader in the movement to make Alas ka dry.
 And now she sits captive, exiled to another land, doomed never to return to her native country to see how her dreams have come true. Seattle Times.

Notwithstanding the disorganized
state in which the literary depart

to the end Of the year with con-
seriousness in which gratitude for
pleasure and profit derived predomin-

ed.

plan of each lecture given.

that have Influenced History" stress
ed the Importance Of this type Of liter
ature, and were thoroughly enjoyed.
The opening paper of the year, CIV
en- October 18th by Miss Sarah Rog-
ers was on a subject that might well
be studied at length, namely, "Classic-
al and Romance Languages
Miss Lida Benton has lectured four
times and for each Of these lectures
she has received the individual graft
tude Of each person present, each feel
ing they had gotten tangible bene-
fit. She has told them how young our
English language is, and how novels
come to be, and how from a lazy court
reporter began the growth Of maga-
zines.
It must be remembered that in this
work, as we'll as in all else, one gets
out of it about what one puts in and
that no matter how high the wall to
be build only one brick can be laid at
a time. We thank the lawyers for
their help in giving US parliamentary
drills.
The music department has complet-
ed work planned at the beginning of
the year with the exception Of one
program which will be held in the
near future. There have been five
meetings devoted to a brief but COM
prehensive study of the "Opera." In
there has been one recital
comprised of the local talen and one
in which Mrs. Young was presented.
Mrs. Young is Of the Progressive Art
Society Of St. Louis and is most
wonderful pianist. The last meeting
will be another recital, plans for
which are already made and which
will be held soon.
