TURNING A JOKE.

Among those who know him best President w. L. Mapothem of the Louisville & Nashville railroad is not considered slow In fact, he is one of the livest wires in the railroad game, but when he missed a South ern Railway train at Huntsville, Ala, few days ago, he was made the ob- ject of some good-natured chaff at the hands of his friends.
 After admitting that on it's face it did look as tho he was slowing up when he allowed a train to get by him like that, he countered with a declaration something like this:
 Tt was the first time I ever knew Southern train to be on time, or that one could run fast enough to keep me from overtaking it on foot"

FARM LIVING STANDARDS

In the last analysis all movements for the betterment of the farmer | lead to a consideration of how his daily living conditions may be i'm proved.
 It is only natural that the farmer should think of improved conditions principally in terms of larger crops sold at higher prices. But it ought to be evident to any thinking person
 that if every farmer in the country
 goes in for increased production it
 means a surplus of products and con- sequent lower prices.
 Much of the labor devoted to in creasing acreage and production Of money crops" might be expended on providing home comforts in a great variety of ways. Better orchards, better gardens, more poul- try and the like mean more and bet ter home food. Better fences, at tractiye yards, with shrubs and flow CTS, add to the joy of living.
 All these may be had with a com. paratively small outlay of cash. The time and labor necessary to provide them might be given with little in- reference with the making of regu- lar crops. There are very few farm CTS who might not live better than they do if they would only use intel ligently the means right at hand.
 Too few take any pride in making their homes attractive and comfort able Too many plod along expect ing Congress to pass some law that will put them on easy street.

DIGEST THIS ONE!

As one hundred tons of Alaska coa were being loaded into the steamer
 Yukon yesterday at the Ocean dock the big freighter Cordova, alongside the same dock, was discharging hun dreds of sacks of British Columbia coal, billed to the local Naval Radio Station. The consensus of local opin ion after witnessing the above. was unanimous almost, in that it looked like there was something rotten in Denmark"
 The crying need for the success of The Alaska Railroad is tonnage: it is claimed by those in authority. Yet here in Seward, in broad daylight, the spectacle of the Government bucking it's own railroad, by deliberately side tracking tonnage revenue, is the bit ter pill witnessed by operators who are endeavoring to develop it's re- sources. Competing against coal from the States, shipped into the Territory. IS bad enough, but when the govern ment purchases coal in a foreign mar ket for consumption in Alaska (the coal bunkers of the world) what in the heck is the trouble?
 Analysis prove Alaska coal in com parison with coals mined in the States and British Columbia, and is considered every bit as good and in many instances of a much higher grade. A careful survey of costs have proven to Alaskan coal operators that Alaska coal can be shipped to the States and compete with Outside coal. The one difficulty met with thus far is in handling facilities. The methods now employed in shipping is not as modern as one could wish therefore the coal, upon arriving at distant ports, is more or less broken up, unsuitable for sale as lump coal But the short rail journey from the Matanuska and Healy River coal fields. to the coast, does not interfere with bltuminous and Ignite coal market ing.
 Local civic bodies or repre- esenta- tives should unite in bringing this matter to the attention of the proper authorities. This is the kind of in- formation Senator c. c. Dill and Con- greSSman Allen T. TreadWav hotb recent visitors in Seward, are looking for Senator Dill will return to the city from the westward within the next two weeks. The Seward Cham Der of Commerce should take stock and investigate thsi matter and turn Ill report to him upon his arrival.

SCHOOLS IN DANGER

If the present agitation over reli zion, evolution and allied subjects could be confined to ecclesiastical and literary circles it might be view ed with less concern by the average citizen. @-
 But by making our public school system the battle-ground for antagon. istic beliefs and speculations we are creating grave danger to the main tenance and progress of that sys- tenn.
 For many decades the public schools have been our pride. They have been kept fairly free from the blighting effects of partisanship and religious strife. Thus they have prospered and expanded into the institution we have to- day.
 Shall we now, by new and unneces- sary regulations, by strife over theor- ies and beliefs, undermine the splen- did structure we have builded thru a hundred years of labor and sacri- flee?

that it is nice TO have their

but fail to tell them, leaving
friends to attend to.

not conducive to marital bliss.

The added feature brings the
EcIair Twins and the clever Billy
Wells in a gorgeously staged num-

given in abundance. The twins
dance and sing, one contortlon
