His Prescription

A certain dietist was once troubled
by a rather trying patient, who was
in the habit of writing about his COM
plant at least once a day.
On one occasion the dietist re-
ceived note worded thus:
"Will you kindly tell me how much
fish I should eat daily for the i'm
provement of my mind"
The dietist was so tired of the
whole thing that he answered rather
tersely:
"In your case, think a whale OF
toast each morning will have the de
sired effect"

RAILROAD I'LL IN CANADA
o. &. ERICKSON, SEATTLE vlsI-
TOR, MAKES ANNOUNCEMENT
IN VANCOUVER.

SEATTLE, Feb. 10. E-O. E.
Erickson, capitalist of Vancouver, B.
c., who left Seattle Thursday after
AN extended visit, announced yester-
day that railroad started Is years
ago up the Bear River from the head
of Portland Canal and abandoned
when the World War began will be
built next summer. The route lies
entirely in Canada.
Mr.. Erickson, one of the discov-
erers of the Premier silver-lead
mine, which is in Canada IA miles
from Hyder, Alaska, made the an
nouncement in Victoria, B. c. He
said a syndicate, including Joseph
Green of Hyder and a bank in Chi
cago, had bought several hundred
million feet of standing timber on
the Bear River and on Marmot
Creek, a tributary Of the Bear.
The purchase includes about ~
miles of bed graded for the railroad,
on part of which steel was laid.
The timber, including hemlock and
Norway spruce, is largly of species
low in resin and thus suitable for
the manufacture of paper. A saw
mill is to be erected at Stewart, in
British Columbia two miles from
Hyder. Some of the timber is to be
sawn at Hyder and the remainder
loaded onto steamers there for dis
tribution to pulp mills along the Pa
cific Coast.

A serious auto accident occurred
south of Pine City Saturday, in which

Mr.. Hoover has won over Mn Work,
Secretary of the Interior, whose de-
partmental activities would be vitality
affected by a consolidation. Under
existing authority Secretary Hoover
has already effected certain transfers
of governmental bureaus, but congress
sional authorization is necessary to
complete the reorganization. For a
time it was proposed to establish a
new cabinet post, but now it seems
that major division of public works
will be established in the Department
of the Interior to supervise the prin-
cipal engineering activities of the
Federal government.
The agitation for six year term
for the President has cropped up.
The proposal will be presented to Con-
gress in December. 1t will be neces-
sary to adopt a constitutional amend
ment, which is difficult task.
The idea is to make the presidency
a one-term position. Somehow the
public is not keenly interested in
the project as yet.
A mild form of censorship has been
placed over utterances of executive
officers of the government Of late
there has been tendency on the part
of high officers in the Army and Navy
to criticize governmental policies. in
newspaper and magazine articles.
The hint has been given that here
after articles must be submitted for
approval before being made public.
1t is reported that certain groups in
Congress will take this gag" rule as
an excuse for congressional investi-
cations.
approximately twenty senators are
at their desks preparing for the next
session. The majority of these legis-
lators are the socalled radicals, or
western progressives. Their pro-
nouncements are closely studied by
the leaders of the major parties in
order to anticipate the line of attack
at the Seventieth Congress. This
group constantly harnesses the con-
sentative element, which likes to re-
gard them as bad and miscellaneous
boys. The senators coming from the
west are expected to provide the ex-
element during the early days of the
next session.
