 Premier Tomie of British Columbia will have of the line for his magnificent project of extend tory In a statement to the press he expresses the we can aid in Canadian road building; but when it comes to the matter of meeting Premier Tolme's highway at Dawson with road passing through the heart of Alaska we can be right there.
 The proposal to construct road that will enable the motorist to travel from Tia Juana Mexico to the middle of the great North country dazzles the imagination Only those who have traversed the wild undeveloped North ascended it's streams or viewed it from airplanes realize the difficulties to be overcome yet Premier Tolmie, who is practical man, believes that such a road can be built and is planning with his engineers to fly over the route.
 Although the highway extension will bring some of the finest scenery the continent within the view of tourists it will not be primarily route for sightseers holiday rippers It will aid mater iay in the development of country fabulously rich in minerals and timber. Its resources in po- tential water power amount nearly to 100000 horsepower. Millions of of table land would be brought within striking distances of markets Undoubtedly Premier Tolmie has a splendid vision of the future of British Columbia.
 The Premier's description of that noble road has fired the enthusiasm of the people of Wash ington They cannot, of course, help build roads in another country but they make strong appeal to Congress for such action may be necessary to extend the road into Alaska. Ordi- narily it would be hazardous to speak for Congress but in such a grand undertaking it's cooperation may be safely pledged.

WHAT THEY DECIDED
By Mary Granam Bonner

The leader cricket now got up and spoke again. He had received all the votes from the other crickets
 Every single cricket" he said has used a piece of grass in vot- ing. So we have all decided the same way.
 We have just formed the great Cricket Club and we have had to make rules. The first of our rules which we have just been voting or is that we should not have lot of useless words to use when we talk
 We wondered whether it would be a good idea to have lot of different things to say, or if we should say the same thing over and over again.
 We have decided that, having nice, cheery voices, we might just as well say the same thing over and over again. It saves bother. It keeps us from having to study too much.
 Tt gives us time to sing and chatter without learning a lot of words.
 Those who used the piece Of grass in voting decided this way. No one used a piece of weed in voting, which would have meant votes for more words to use.
 Prom now on, fellow crickets, we will always make the same speech es, the same sounds, the same little songs. We are small. It is not ex- pected of us that we should have a great many words.
 Large creatures like people can use a lot of words, but little crea- lures such as we are, need not"
 All the crickets waved their feel CTS, which was their way of clap ping.
 "You've been present" the little black clock explained, "at the opening meeting when the crickets decided they would not change their song or chatter.
 50 when you hear they say the same thing over and over again, you'll know that it was according to the vote of every cricket.
 "But we've got big plans aheadl We must make haste"

 The Senate hadn't yet appointed a committee to investigate the ex- penditure of huge sums by politi- cal candidates. In fact, one Cali fornian elected to the house of Representatives refused to pay $11 for his certificate.
 Major Riggs, elected to Congress from the second California district. was forty miner" and sheriff in frontier times when desperadoas were given short shrift. He paid the California Secretary of State s5 for having his election certified, and started for Washington.
 However when his certificate ar rived and he was asked to pay SC more for express and other charges he declined to receive the paper. He said:
 This business of being a Con- ggressman is not worth paying $l] for, I thought it was dear when I put up the $5 and I'll stay out of the next Congress before I put up another $6"
 Emma Abbot, the singer, worked her way to New York to obtain a musical education. She sold her magnificent head of hair to meet first expenses" and then with her father, the keeper of small music store at Peoria, H., she started for the metropolis giving concerts on the way whenever opportunity of- fered. Later in London she became the protege of Baroness Rothschild

SOVIET EFFICIENCY AND
 CONFIDENCE.

An eminent newspaper writer thinks the Russian round the world fliers are making it clear that people ought to have enough confidence in the capacity of Soviet Russia to buy it's bonds. He thinks they have proved that Soviet bonds are safer than those of the Empire or the Kerensky Gov ernment that were sold in this country.
 The authority does not say anything about the circumstance that the Soviet repudiated the debts of the Empire and the Kerensky governments and in so doing it did not inspire confidence in it's purpose to pay it's own bonds when .ney become due Repudation and repudiatorS do not inspire confidence among those with money to lend.

GOV. SAMPSON NOT GUILTY.

Gov. Sampson of Kentucky has been acquitted of bribery charges that based on the fact that he accepted gifts text books that were first given him, a member of the board or commission that adopts the public school text books, for examination The Court directed the verdict of not guilty when the evidence against him was presented.

Is the Tariff Fair to Farmers?
Duluth News-Tribune.)

Duluth NeWS-IrlbuneD
 The avowed purpose of the proposed limited tar if revision promised to the farmers by the Ad- ministration was to put agriculture a basis of parity with industry. Far from doing this, however the proposed tariff is really bill for further pro- lection to industry that will increase the price of practically everything the farmer has to buy far beyond any benefit he will receive.
 As Gov. Christianson points out, while it may be true that it is blessed to give than to re- ceive it is hard to make a farmer accept the doc Urine with all it's implications political and econ omic, when his name is on the delinquent tax list and notice of foreclosure his farm is being published in the hometown newspaper
