This homelike and picturesque
cottage Of English style was design

InlS nomellke ana picturesque
cottage Of English style was design
ed for stucco walls. While the use
Of stucco or cement plaster in build
ing. is by no means new to this coun-
try-its use dating back to the days
before the Revolution in the old
Dutch homes Of New Jersey and
Pennsylvania-it is only within the
past 20 years that its use has been
revived and become common. For
centuries, the architects of Europe
have employed this material in
practical and artistic manner, and
many localities are most picturesque
with their charming homes of stuc-
co. The use of stucco for the Eng
lish, Italian or Spanish style of ar
chitecture has made it a distinguish
ing feature of these styles. The
compact arrangement of the plan
shown here makes it a servantless
house. A dining room alcove is
planned In place of the conventional
dining room, thereby reducing house
work and making a very convenient
arrangement for the average family.

AIR MAIL SERVICE

That air mail service has come to Alaska to stay is shown by the gov ernment's cooperating with the can nery interests at Bristol Bay in the installation of two airplanes, which will have their headquarters at Sew ard, according to reports received from Seattle. Photographic dispatch es state that the planes were ship ped on the cutter Haida, supposed to have sailed from Seattle April 15. It is expected these plnaes will make the flight from Seward to Bristol Bay in four hours, which will elimi- nate the ten day trip by steamer from Seward, for those who wish the excitement of flight and can afford the expense.
 It is presumed that only first class mail will be carried and that letter may be sent from Seward one day and reply received the next. This is up to the minute ser vice and places Seward in a position of doing the banking and express business of the Bristol Bay district.
 In case the plan proves a success there is no doubt but that other air planes will be installed on new mail routes next season. From bidarka to sailing ship, sailing ship to steam CT, steamer to dog sled, and dog sled to airplanes, is span of prob ably twenty years. The improve. ments in navigation during this time have come so fast that the old timer can hardly get used to one method before another is presented, each more speedy than the one previous
 Mail transportation costs the gov. ernment more per capita in Alaska than in any known country in the world. Starting at Seward a net work of mail routes radiate along the peninsula, the Kuskokwin, the Yukon and the Koyukuk. Boats are used in the summer, but during the long win ter months when the streams are icebound, the dog team has been found the most efficient and reliable method of delivering the mails tc inbound camps. The dog team re Quires less food transported than and other draught animal, and as 8 last resort can be eaten by theil drivers. They are faithful, will work until they drop, and apparently en

HELP GET THE HOME

If Seward is so fortunate as to get the Jesse Lee Home it will add greatly to the city's population and to the payroll here. It is esti- mated that at least $10,000 per year will be turned lose in the commun- ity and a number of highly intelli- gent teachers added to oul commun- ity. The Jesse Lee Home is Meth odist institution which is maintained charge of some highly endowed min ister as superintendent. The work done in the past by the Home is with out precedent. Hundreds of home less boys and girls have beer taken in, cared for, educated and taught to take care of their physical bodies and qualities in way impossible in the government schools. Many of these children are so nearly white il is hard to tell them from the Caucas ian race, while others show their na- tive blood. All are we'll hammered, neat and as intelligent as the average white child with similar environment These children are kept within bounds by strict discipline and are no bother to any community, but rather are an asset.
 Those persons who are averse to the establishment of the Home at Seward should investigate the condi- tions under which they are raised be- fore voicing objections to which there are no facts for foundation.
 One of the first benefits to the com munity will be the large concrete structures to be erected at the site chosen. Next year it is reported fine hospital and other buildings will be added. These buildings mean work for every mechanic in Seward and will be an ornament to the Ke- nai road They will prove of great interest to tourists and be something to which Seward can point with pride in years to come. It is hoped that every citizen will help this project and place no impeachment in the way of the committee at work securing the site.

Haue You q Bad Back?
Then the Advice of a Resident of This Locality Will Interest You

Does your back ache night and day? Hinder work; destroy your rest? Are you tortured with stabbing pains When you stoop, lift or bend? Then likely your kidneys are weak, More troubles may soon appear. Headaches, dizziness, nervousness; Or uric acid and it's ills.
 Help your weakened kidneys with a stimulant diuretic.
 Use Dona's Pills.

 Mrs. Albert Selhaver, 1114, w North St., Bellingham, Wash, says: ''I was all run down and suffered from kidney disorder. I had terrible pains in the small of my back and I could. n't get up without help. At times when I got down was unable to move. My kidneys acted too often and my feet bloated so badly that I couldn't wear my shoes. Deans Pills cured me of the attack and made my kidneys well. The bloat ing went down, too.''

would pull out of the industry, or op- crate in a smaller way.
 If the fish canneries would organ ize and all agree to stay out of Al aska for year or two, they would have the Territory appealing to them to come back on any terms whatso- ever. Without the fish money the Territory would be bankrupt and grass grow in the steets of many Al askan towns. Sixty-five per cent of the expense of the pack now goes to the territory in the shape of taxes and license. 1t might be well to consider these things before accept ing the leadership of the radical who, if times get bad, puts on his coat and leaves the country he has helped to ruin.

THE FISH TAX

Once more certain members, of the legislature, notably those living in land from the coast, take a rap at the fisheries, adding a tax of $3 per thousand on fish caught in traps. Just why this tax should be placed on fish caught in traps and not on those caught in nets is hard to fathom, un- less the proponents of the bill believe it will force the canneries to turn to nets as proper equipment in fishing. To the lay mind it appears that cer- tain interests backed by purse sein- CTS and gill netters are endeavoring to corner the market.
 Years ago the States of Washington went through the same fight against traps, waged by the fishermen, who endeavored to either control the catch or put the canneries out of business. They did not succeed because the Washington legislature refused to pull the chestnuts out of the fire for one branch of the industry at the ex- pense of the other. The best fish. cry experts agree that fish taken from traps are in better shape when they arrive on the cannery floor than those taken by nets. Be this as it may, the fact that one trap can catch more fish than dozen fisher men, making the overhead much cheaper, should be sufficient reason for allowing the fishtrap. An in dustry should be allowed to operate in the most economical way. In the old days it took many oxen and men to pull log out of the woods, that can now be snaked out by two mer and donkey in one-fourth the time No one would think of going back 1 to the slower and more expensive way of logging. Modern methods and machinery have placed within ] the reach fo the poor man products that were formerly luxuries. To ta1 one part of an industry because i
 is more economical and saves human
 labor appears nonsensical, looked a
 from the standpoint of efficiency.
 I Without the traps, many more mel
 would be required to catch the same
 number of fish. The theory of th,
 tax is that it would be better to em ploy a larger number of men. Bu
 no argument is advanced that tn,
 canneries would accept the prescribe lway of fishing, but rather instead

Lack of safe bathing facilities in

distance beyong Key Bridge, yesterday
afternoon of Robert Elan, 13-year.old

failed, however, but the body was re-

OPERA COMPANY
TO CLOSE SEASON
Albion Announces That Sat-

Will Be Last.

The Washington Opera Co, after
four weeks of light opera productions,
will close the Summer season with
Saturdays night performance of the
Gilbert and Sullivan work, H NJ. S.
Pinafore," according to a statement
today by Edouard Albion, director
The continued warm weather was
largely responsible for taking this
step, according to Mr.. Albion. Also,
members of the cast had other con-
tracts which they had to fulfill. The
unnamed 'benefactor" of the COM
pany, it is understood, was willing to
continue his aid, but it was decided
that it would be best to close. How
ever, plans have been definitely laid
already for starting a Summer sea-
son next May.
The local members of the cast and
the chorus will rest until the first of
September, when rehearsals for a
more pretentious season of grand
opera than ever attempted before by
the Washington Opera Co. will be
begun. The first production will be
given early in November.
