LOCAL MEN JET AGENCY
 FQR SMALL BALL MILL

Messrs. Hendrickson and Hagan, of Seward have taken the agency for the Ellis Ball Chili mill, one of the great est inventions of the modern age in crushing mills, made in all sizes from 200 pounds to 500 tons per day ,and at a price that is much cheaper than con- structing an arrastra. This mill makes the prospector independent of the la bor involved in constructing crudeI methods of ore crushing. The anal gamator is also concentrator in prin- ciple and it can be made so by the ad- dition of a fe wparts without extra cost to the purchaser.
 The mill will fill long-felt want in Alaska, the prospector being permit ted by this process to work any high grade stringer which would not war rant more expensive machinery. Some of these mills have been in operation over three years with no replacements.

ON THE PLEASURES OF HOPE

tielentIy We Shall Not Be
Disappointed.

Much of the pleasure in life comes
from a forecastIng imagination. The
satisfaction Of vacation travel, to
choose but one example, lie as much
In prospect as In retrospect. 1t Is fun
to read the literature of places we
may never see, to discuss and compare
alternative routes, to consult the ex-
perience Of others and compare
notes with those who went and re-
turned.
Says the cheerless pesslmist: 81

philosophy behind his modus oper-
and Is likely to nnd the mo Admit
lance" Sign hanging out for him at
many door instead of the proverbial
welcome on the mat. People dis
like asconirmed crouch, a chronic
knocker as an associate In work or
play. We do not ask that teammates
shall dwell In a FOOLS paradise Of
Pollyanna sunshine all the time, but
we want those who take the cheerful
look and have the disposition to make
the best Of things and, as the Scot
says, "Whustle DER the laYo o. It."
Why was hope implanted In the hu.
man breast, to spring eternal there,
Il we were not meant to believe that
the best is yet to be, and then to labor
with all our might to make that belief
come true in factp AS eyes were made
for seeing, tho heart was meant TO
hope. Tho chief Incentive to persevSre
and to mako progress is not that
which ls--a fortune made, an ambi.
ton realized, success attained-but
that which may be. A man In business
keeps going because he sees to far
horizons and his ambition carries even
farther than his vista.
SO II is in all affairs of life, II
only we dare and endure sufficiently
we shall not be disappointed. Deprive
man of expectancy and you shat

BIG TASK TO GATHER HONEY
Busy Bees Travel Many Miles In

To turn out one pound Of honey It
u estimated that honey bees must
have taken the nectar from more than

complish this there would be REQUIRED
some 2,760000 visits to the blossoms
by the bees.
In other words to collect sufficient
nectar TO make up one pound OF
honey a bee must proceed from hive
to flower and back again 2,750,0O0
times
When one considers the distances
honey bees sometimes traverse in

a mile or two from the hive, one be-
