Seattle Post-Intelligencer. ]

Of great assistance to the opening and unfettering of Alaska will be the cutting in half of through rates between Seattle Tacoma and Fairbanks and other interior points in Alaska.
 Coast points in the great Territory have been made reasonably accessible through the effective steamship service, but always the Interior has been at disadvantage, where freights required to await the opening Of ico-bound streams rivers or were packed in by horse mule, by dog-eam This has held back the industrial development of Aaska's natural riches and made pioneer work a most ex- pensive matter.
 The completion of the Government Railroad from seward to Fairbanks matter of 450 miles into the Interior, changes all that By an agreement between rail line and steamship carriers rates on certain commodities range low $25 per ton in which rate wharfage charges at Seattle Tacoma and Sew ard and Anchorage absorbed general charge Broadly the rates are now in two on freight Yukon and Panama rivers Nenana and Fairbanks and Will now take the shorter by rail and water
 The new tariff formally filed regards Tacoma and Seattle as a common point and also Anchorage ana Seward with all tonnage actual weight There Is tarih provided for every on the Government railway. lT-----
 Assistant Chief Engineer Gerig of the Government railway. who is in Seattle regards the new joint rate as an invitation to development and his opinion Will be shared by Alaskans generally It will draw new citizens and new business the Territory and hasten that day when Alaskas riches shall he known ot all through actual production

 Since the advent of the traffic cop telling your troubles to policeman is a fine wGy to get a bawling out.
 At that it is better to be run down at the heel than to be run down at the street crossing.
 Many a man whose heart is in the night place will often misplace his confidence.
 There is nothing remarkable about an electrical wizard being able to raise a storm in his laboratory. Men have been doing that in the home ever since marriage was instituted.
 A man with a business head should be able to foot his bills.
 
 A lady thinks ultra decollete Is good form if the form it bares is a good one.
 A woman always is perfectly com fortable in tight shoes and close fitting costumes while out in public, which is why she makes a dash for her big. old house shoes and kimono the minute she gets the front door shut
 There are times when we feel the are taking their love af fairs lot more seriously than some of the older folks who are supposed to have cut their wisdom teeth,
 And if young folks could only be taught to look upon marriage more seriously, studying it's problems and the cost before they get into 1t, there might be fewer mar ridges. but there certainly would be fewer divorces.

Yet there is a strength land dignity in this severely honest portrait makes it more impressive than the handsomer ones with which we are familiar. One finds it hard to leave it.
