ExPEND DiTURES

Rev. R. V. B. Dunlap, in charge of construction in Seward of the big Jesse Lee Home, announced few days ago, that the sum of approxi- mately $50,OOO in cash would be paid out in Seward, for labor, etc., on the Home
 The new road project, now under way by the Seims & Carlson, con- tractors on the Seward-Kenai cutoff and which work will continue until the freeze-up, (if there is any) will swell the labor and material income ot Seward; an approximate s4O,OOO more, making total of s9O,OOO cash which will be put into circulation mostly before winter comes. This. aside from the regular sources of permanent business shows signs of much encouragement to the entire community.

SUPERSTITION REVlVES.

During the recent period of anxiety for Raold Amundsen and his fellow a1rplane explorers in the Arctic an Italian medium declared she had had revelation" while in a trance and announced that three of the party were dead.
 Other details of the fate of the ex- petition were given and broadcast to the world in press dispatches which were taken seriously by thousands of people. Three days later Amundsen and his companions returned from their perilous trip, all alive and we'll. It appears easy for obscure cranks to obtain little brief notoriety by pretending to be possessed of occult powers, whereby they predict any thing from minor disaster to the end of the world.
 Millions of people who are other wise reasonably sensible, are actually impressed by these imaginings of crackbrained individuals, and often worry over the lugubrious predictions made.
 Occasionally prophecy comes true and gullible persons immediately at tribute the coincidence to supernatu- ral powers of the prophets. It has been but short time since | Alaskans were entertaining palmists and clairvoyants, many hard earned dollar going to grease the palms of these charlatans. The past few years they have abandoned the territory as a losing proposition.
 In spite of our supposed civiliza- tlon, majority of people are still steeped in superstition of one kind or another. Because of this, fortune tell CTS and other charlatans flourish, es- pecially in the cities.

AN ENCOURAGING REPORT.

Parker Gilbert, the young American who has charge of the Dawes plan operations in Germany, has made his first report after eight months of la Dor in his difficult post.
 On the whole the report is optimis- tic and declares that two of the essen- tial preliminary objects of the plan balancing of the German budget and stabilizing the mark-have been con- summated.
 MT. Gilbert also comments the Ger man government for it's cooperation in putting the plan into operation thus far.
 While little actual progress has been made in payment of reparations by Germany, the fact that the early stages of the international commis- sion's task have been marked by evi- dences of good will on the part of the debtor.

AN EPIDEMIC STAMPEDE

Despite the assertion of the com mander of the Boring Sea patrol. sta. toned at Unilaska, that the influenza epidemic at Bristol Bay is under con- trol, outside papers continue to send out purported dispatches as to the se- rlousness of the occasion. It may be true that the natives will need food this winter. But this is not confined to the lucky aborigines alone. The rest of us in Alaska will probably need food, 1t times continue depressed and collection remain poor. The Indian needs food every winter, as he is in natural state of distress, mostly on account of environment and largely because he has no thrift.
 But 1t is wrong to attempt an epi- demlc stampede. Nome received con- siderable advertising, favorable and otherwise, over her typhoid epidemic, but conditions which breed typhoid in a community are not an asset to advertise by any means We believe that Commander Van Boskerck knows what he is talking about, and that no further alarm may be felt over the outbreak in the Bristol Bay district.

WESLEY AN EVOLUTIONlST.

JohnWesley founder of Methodism, was an evolutionist, according to Dr. Edward Mims of Vanderbilt Univers ity, at Nashville, Tenn, who gives the proofs of his assertion from the writ ings of the great theologian and preacher
 In an essay entitled, "A General View of the Gradual Progression of Beings" written long before Darwin s time, John Wesley wrote as follows:
 By what degrees does Nature raise herself to Man? How will she rectify this head that is always inclined to- ward earth? How change these paws into flexible arms? What method will she make use of to transform these crooked feet into skilful and supple hands Or will she widen and extend this contracted stomach? The ape is the rough draft of man, this tation which nevertheless bears a re- semblance to him and is the last crea- ture that serves to display the admi rable progression of the works of God But mankind have their graduations as we'll as other productions of our globe. There is a prodigious number of links between the most perfect man and the ape"

YOU NEVER CAN TELL

I've taken my hooch where I've found it I've drunk and I've swlled in my time I've had my fill of the juice of the grape And none of the lot was prime
 Some was like Glover's Mange Cure, Some like an egg that was ad,
 Some like the breeze of limburger cheese, And some like an over-rpe shad Now I ain't no hand with the grapo, For taking it all along,
 You never can tell till you drink it, And then you sure to be wrong. There's times that you hope you are dying, There's times that you wish you dead, And the things that you from macoola Will raise all the hairs on your head. I young un at Fairbanks, Shy as girl to begin
 Spirits of nitre they gave me. One hundred times stronger than gin; Bitter as death and it shook me, Much like cat with a fit,
 But I drank the bum stuff because I was tough And I learned about likker from it. Then I was shifted to Seward
 (Of 1 might still be drinkin' that booze) An l bought me a copper wash boiler And made a mash out of old shoes. Powerful an yellow and awful Strong as a motorman's init. And I lit in the jail without money or bail, An 1 learned about likker from it. I've taken my hooch where I found it, And now I must pay for my fun, For the more you drink of macoola, The less you will see of the sun; An the end of it's peddlin pencils Or selin' shoe faces, you see; Be warned by my lot q know you will not) An learn about likker from me.

PIONEERING UNPROFITABLE

The bewhiskered, red-shirted pio- neer of thirty years ago has been su- perseded by the khaki clad, putteed youngster of today, who fits about the country from place to place, in idle dalliance compared to the slow progress of the OK cart and pack train. Pioneering as trade has ceased to
 be profitable of late years, and the man who goes into a country of late years does so more out of curiosity than for permanency. The age of jazz has speeded up pioneering as we'll as modern living The pioneer of old en times used to appear on the hori- ZOn with a creaking wagon drawn by patient oxen or cows, with a crate of chickens on behind and a blow swung beside a bucket under the rear axle. Progress was slow and the dis trict travelled was thoroughly exam lned with view to possibilities for stock and agriculture. When a site was found, generally ill some fertile. wooded valley, the oxen were out spanned, the grindstone set up, and within few days log house marked the site. 4 few acres of sod corn and truck furnished living until the soil was broken up sufficiently to be called farm.
 Today the pioneer appears in a tin | lizzie and cloud of dust He wears good clothes, smokes tailor made ci- garettes and wears a white collar and an air of intolerance. He skins over the country at 40 miles an hour and IS in the next county before the | enterprising real estate agent can get | out his maps. He spends his winters | III Los Angeles and Arizona and his | summers in auto parks, living off the | rat of the land and eating grape fruit | With ham and for breakfast. If a place is improved sufficiently and is sold cheap enough he buys it. If not a gallon of gas and pint of oil will take him farther in a day thar his predecessor could travel in month,
 Verify times have changed, and not for the better.

BEWARE OF FOREST FIRES.

With the recurrent dry weather many forest fire spring up in diff ferent parts of the division, princi- pally along the government railroad set in most cases by sparks from the locomotives. It is nearly impossible to prevent this as the dry moss is very mflammable and catches fire very cas- fly. Thousands of dollars worth of fine timber is destroyed every wear by fires. Many of these fires are set by campers who neglect to put out camp fires. Others are caused bv travellers tossing cigarettes out of of autos or car windows. It is un- fortunate that the average person cannot realize the millions of dollars loss to the nation each year by forest hres, and take proper precautions.
 At the present time fire is raging Tn the Hope-Girdwood district. and if IS probable that thousands of dollars worth of damage will be done before II can be extinguished. The Forest Service spends large part of it's time and considerable money in try- Ing to impress upon the people the importance of preventing fires.
 Every person travelling in the woods this season should take every precau- ton to assist these men in suppress Ing forest fires. A half cent cigarette can burn million dollars worth of timber. A camp fire left burning can devastate whole valley. Let us CO., operate with the rangers and prevent useless and expensive fires.

STATE DEBTS INCREASE.

Public debts, national, territorial, and local are increasing by tremen- dous bounds and thoughtful citizens may we'll view with concern the ten dency to mortgage the country's fu- ture.
 In the past ten years the average net debt of the states of the Union have increased approximately 275 per cent, and ill the Territory about 32 per cent. Debts of counties and cit ies have also been mounting at pro- digious rate, while the national debt due to the war continues.
 Under these conditions it is no won der that the tax burden is becoming most serious matter. It will become more and more serious if the present tendency to lavish governmental eX- penditures continues to receive en- couragement.
 Voters should carefully scrutinize any proposition to increase taxes in the light of common sense. In many cases there will be found some propo- sition of doubtful benefit, for which they must ultimately pay.
 Seattle is an example of the rapidity with which debts and taxes may mount up. It is doubtful if the citi- zens profit any by the municipal rail- way in view of the fact that they used to ride for a nickel and now pay eight cents for the privilege.

September falls within the zodiacal

September gets its mime from the
Latin mineral septem, because the
month was the seventh of the ancient
Roman calendar, which had but ten
months In the days Of Charlemagne
the French called the season the harv-
est month. Among the early Saxons
Il was known as barley month. The
