The Manuscripts Of God

The word Of God in printed phrase
Is read by men in divers ways
We spell. we doubt. and some forget
That printed type is backward set,
But when the Print is hard to read.
By dint of more or less of creed,
The manuscript of God remains
Writ large in waves and woods an
lanes.

MINING EXPERT SAYS
 lSkUT OUTLOOK GOOD


 "The valley of the Iskut River has the same general rock formation as Portland Canal. and it is an abso- lute certainty that the Iskut section is continuation of the Portland Canal Belt, and there is no reason for thinking that the Iskut section Is less highly mineralized than any other portion of the same belt said George A. Clothier, B. c. Government Resident Engineer for No. 1 Northern District, when seen at the Wrangell Hotel upon bis return from trip up the Iskut river. Continuing, MT. Clothier said:
 "The Iskut mineralized section forms a part of the eastern contact belt that extends up the coast line, and includes such big mines as the Granby, Brittania, and Premier and following this belt north comes the Atlin District with the Engineer mine and others. and upon going still farther north we find the Mayo district with the famous Keno hill.
 "The Iskut is an unknown and un- inhabited region that is a paradise for prospectors. In my reports 1 shall try to show that the prospectors today have the same chances in the | Iskut District as they had in the Portland Canal region in the early /; days.
 "The ,Iskut is very accessible: in fact, there are no difficulties to be encountered dn getting into this dis l trict worth mentioning. The Iskut abounds in game. and the prospec- tor has no difficulty in keeping his grocery bills within bounds. I do not believe there is a better coun- | try anywhere for the prospeetor to- day.
 "It is my belief that the only reason | why the Iskut has not become known to the world long ago is that it has not been prospected What that re- zion needs above everything else is prospectors. While geologists are all right. it is the bona fde pros | pector that makes mines; and l have no doubt whatever that pros pecting and development would make this region one of the greatest min | ing regions in the country
 T also regard the Stikine River as good prospecting. The country along the Stikine above the Scud River mp l to the Devils Elbow is an excellent district for prospectors. And up to the present time prospectors have scarcely ever been known to go half a mile away from the banks of the Stiline River. Wrangel SentineD.

Famous Bugle Call Used To Interpret Spirit
 of the Day

New York City.-Psychologists who predicate human action from observation of humans at play, say that America is due for a long era of peace.- They draw this conclusion partly from a study of the songs and games which engross the energetic younger generation just now.
 The new peace conference game with it's pawns all moving for harmony, which children have substituted for checkers, is an in- teresting example. So is "Good Night" waltz built on the bugle theme of "taps." This song sounds the peaceful end of the dance on most ball room floors
The Alaska daily empire., 1923-08-13

about "three o'clock in the morn- ing" these days.
 Con Conrad, who wrote it, says he's finishing what George Conan began when he built "Over There" on reveille.
 "It's a sort of way of letting the public in on grand celebra- tion of the end of thelwar," MT.
 Conrad explains. "Using taps to close the dance today seems to emphasize that it's really over,
 over there.'
 q have just returned from two years in Europe where tried several times to write the song, but the chaotic conditions got un- der my skin and l simply could not work on relaxing peaceful tune. But here at home l could
 immediately sense that for us
 anyway, it really is 'over.

TERRITORY POINTED
 TO AS "SPINSTERS'"
 PARADISE BY STEESE

In addition to his mnltitudinous duties as Chairman of the Alaskan Engineering Commission, President of the Alaska Road Commission. Dis. trict Engineer for the Board of Rivers and Harbors. and others,' Col James G. Steese has essayed a role of "cupid for Alaska" according to the Seward Gateway. The Seward paper recently carried an article which, it. credited to a San Fran cisco paper in which Col. Steese is quoted as saying that Alaska "is the spinsters' paradise"
 The story as it appeared in the Gateway follows.
 This is an advertisement. It Is in. tended to call the attention of girls to the opportunities afforded by Alas ka. That is opportunities for get ting married.
 "CoL James c. Steese, president of the Alaska Road Commission, said the other day that Alaska Is the spinsters' paradise The splendid army of young men engaged in Alas. kan interests are often forced to go to the States for brides. The sup ply of women in Alaska does not equal the demand. To my mind there is no more glorious country to live in. There is something about Alaska that gets into your blood. You may pine for the States. until. in sheer hunger of soul, you manage to get back to them but once there you cannot wait to return to Alaska. "The men of Alaska are the pio- neer type. They are strong, vigorous, healthy, engaged in the greatest business in the world. which is that of subduing nature and making the wilderness into a garden.
 ""Of course this calls for a similar type of girl Anemic girls and those whose ambition is to have straw berries. sugar and cream, sit on a cushion and sew a fine seam,' need not apply. But girls of spirit, and healthy girls, who love outdoors and achievement, girls who want to be mates for strong men and bring wholesome offspring into the world, in short girls of good sound stock and blood. ought to pay some attention to the prospects offered by Alaska .

BOOK MEXICAN 'SHEIK'
Interrupt. Women's Fight Over Him
and Send Him TO Rock Pile.

West Side police captured a "Mex-
lean sheik" in the person of 20
year-old youth Friday night, near the
city market. Booked on one of the
numerous clauses of the vagrancy
law, he was sent to the rock pile for
fifteen days Nne: the ease was aired
before Police Judge Rochester, Sat
urday.
Testimony offered by detectives and
West Side officers tended 10 show the
film impersonators of the great desert
lover was as naught compared TO the
ability of the prisoner. Senoritas, evil
dence indicated invariably collapsed
with one sweep of his yees. Behind him
it was claimed, was n long string Of
damsels with tear-stained checks as
this "sheik" in real life deserted one
after the other, as new victims ap-
peared.
When officers nabbed him. il is said,
two damsels were engaged in a strug-
gle to possess him, one screaming and
holding tightly to the tail end Of
his coat while the other, her hands
locked about his wrists and seeking
to drag him from the grip Of the
other. The two senoritas, also taken
into custody, were each fined Sl5.
Since the appearance of the "Sheik"
from his native land beyond the Rio
Grande, local youths on the West
Side, police said. were complaining the
loss of their sweethearts.

CECIL FRIEND OF JEWS
Fayors Establishment Of Jewish
HOMELAND in Palestine.

New York, March 3f.-Lord Rob
ert Cecil, who recently arrived here
from London, has given a statement
to the Jewish Press, which will ap-
pears in the New Palestine. organ of
the Zionist organization of America
in its issue today. The statement
says:
THE British government and the
reasonable right-thinking people of
England are for the establishment OF
The Jewish national. homeland in Pal
estine. Great Britain will never with
draw from her promises"
Lord Cecil is also quoted as saying !:
81 believe that when the history of
the war comes to be impartially writ
ten the two greatest results will be
the establishment of the national jew
ish home and the creation of the
League of Nations. The two are not
really disconnected. They represent
the two great ideas for which We
fought and by which we conquered.
the ideas of nationalism and inter-
nationalism.
My attitude toward the Jewish
question is well known" Lord Cecil
continued.
"All know that I am an adherent
Of the Balfour declaration, and l am
little concerned with what the enemies
of Zionism and the Jews have TO say.
1t were better for the Jews 10 listen to
their friends. To think more of the
great historic opportunity which is
theirs. rather than to listen to the
