A QUESTION OF GAS

A foreigner, whose knowledge of English language was somewhat lim- tied was looking at a car with a purchasing eye. The salesman said "This automobile is a bargain! It will go twenty-five miles with a gallon of gasoline!"
 ''VelI, I vum!" the foreigner eX- claimed 'How far will she go vidout any?"

THE MIND IS BURGLAR PROOF

Riches, as has been observed for many cen turies, take wings.
 They depart in various ways Sometimes they are dissipated by those who acquire them, sometimes they are squandered by their in heritors. Oftenest they are taken away from those who possess them by gentlemen with scheming minds and designing plans to do just that sort of thing.
 Very recently man who operated a bucket shop in New York was sent to prison as a common thief because his occupation consist ed in taking away from hard-working people the fruits of their toil
 There are many other persons in the world still at large and pursuing this same busl- ness.
 Some of them are hold-up men and burglars, some are swindlers and some are people who pretend to be business men, but really are sharpers in disgise.
 Everywhere are ways to take away the hard earned money that others have accum- ulated It is all very wrong of course, but un- happily it is the way of the world.
 The only absolutely safe investment which no one can steal, or filch, or take away, is the investment which is stored just back of the eyes or tne young llldh ol "olhah "lo hlio"' the best place to store capital
 That investment is in education or train ing. which ever you please to call it.
 No robber can break into the brain of an en- gineer and take away the knowledge that en- ables him to throw bridges across rivers or span mountains with railroad tracks.
 No swindler can talk the doctor out of his ability to help the suffering or the mechanic out of his trade.
 The capital that is stored away in the con- voluted gray matter in the humon skull will never be stolen. The ore that contains this precious metal will never yield it up. Conse- quently no one attempts to take it away.
 An investment of this sort pays all the way from a competence to future, and it is absolutely burglar and swindler-proof-" Un- common Sense. ''-John Blake.

Southern Pacific Railroad, who recently ex- pressed himself to Passenger Traffic Man ager E. c. McMicken, of the Admiral Line, as follows:
 "A large number of California residents have come to Seattle this year for the Alaska tours and you can expect the number to keep increasing each summer. From what saw on the voyage of the Queen, I believe Alaska is bound to go ahead with great strides. The pos abilities of the wood pulp industry impressed me greatly. In each place we visited in the north, we found renewed confidence among miners, salmon packers and others. The voy- age was delightful and I would like to make it over again. As tourist attraction, Alaska is an enormous asset to the whole coast. ''-Ju- neau Capital.

ALASKA WILL GROW AS A TOURIST
 ATTRACTION

When the various accommodations are ample and the tourists of the eastern states can come west and to Alaska with something like the same degree of comfort with which they can enjoy their vacations in other parts of the United States then indeed will this northland be greater drawing card than any other sec tion of the United States. For it's scenic at fractions are beyond compare, and we'll might thousands who go to European resorts, turn instead to Alaska and get the greatest pos sible enjoyment from a visitation through our
 waters and land. The enthusiastic enconi- rms that we hear nowadays will be as nothing compared to what the future has in store for Alaska, when all clements combine to make this great favored nature $ play ground the rendezvous of the tourists of
 the American continent In this connection it is interesting to read the impressions of c. J. Mills, chief of the passenger bureau of the

The eighth grades work is ar
ranged on an attraetively decorated
table In their colors, purple and

of the penmanship papers 1t is easy
to notice how much the pupils have
improved their writing. A large
number of Improvement Certificates
and some, Student Certificates have
been sent to those members OF the
penmanship classes who tried for
them. Some OF the high school
students have received certificates,
also. The Commercial classes have
number of samples of typewriting
shorthand, and bookkeeping which
show their neatness, accuracy and
efficiency.
Many physical maps OF Africa,
United States, and Idaho made by
the geography pupils are on exhibit.
The most interesting of these is a
very large one of Idaho in which the
counties are marked off, and on each
space designating a certain county is
some corn, wood, potatoes, pictures
Of cattle, wool, gold, lead. copper or
whatever the leading product OF that
county happens to be. Small hands
in the first grade have sculpured
number of animals out of clay which
are as easily recognized as though
