NOT ALWAYS so BAD.

The Seattle Times thinks lame duck" Congresses and Presidents have not always been as bad as some modern statesmen think them to be. It calls par ticuar attention to the circumstances that Washing ton Territory was created by legislation which re- eeived executive approval the day before President Fillmore yielded the Presidency to President Pierce and that President Cleveland signed the Enabling Act for the future State of Washington after he had been defeated for reelection by President Harrison in 1888
 The Times said
 No particular reason for folks around here
 joining the general anvil chorus against Tame
 ducksp It has been recalled that lame duck
 Congress and President created Washington
 Territory March 3, 1853, and that another lame
 duck Congress and President in February, 1889,
 paved the way for the admission of Washington
 as a state the following November. The Pacific
 Northwest owes much to these, and other
 defeated legislators and executives

Climbing Mount Mckinley.
(New York Times.


 Mount Mckinley is tremendous mountain in a savage wilderness. There have been many attempts to climb it. but only Archdeacon Stuck and his party gained the top of the higher peak. Another effort will hold the attention of mountaineers and may have scientific value. It is now nineteen years since Stuck seasoned alpnist, and his three com panions made the first ascent of the south peak, and through strong field glasses saw the flagsta1t which Taylor and Anderson of the Lloyd party planted on the lower north peak in 1910 They had carried the fourteen-foot pole with them, using no rone and cutting no steps-"a most extraordinary feat unique" testified the Archdeacon, in all the annals of mountaineering" Theirs was known as the Pioneers expedition. They did not know which was the higher summit, but Archdeacon Stuck, who did know the difference, declared that such rugged fellows could have climbed both peaks in their last march.
 After nine years of travelling in the interior of Alaska mainly with dogs, Archdeacon Stuck declared that he would rather climb that mountain than discover the richest gold mine in the Territory" Its base is not far above level, and the invader looks upon a mass rising nineteen thousand ieet into the sky. The approach bristles with dlfcul- lties Until the Mudrow glacier is reached, success lis not imaginable The conquerors of the south peak counted almost three months of effort since leaving Fairbanks before they stood on the top Earthuuake had shattered ridges that 1t was neces- lsary to cross by hewing the way. The ParKer- Browne party had made their failure cause TOT because only by retreat did they save themselves from being buried by the debris Iof a convulsion in 1912.
 Climbing Mckinley must always be a stupend- Ious adventure No attempt has been made for nineteen years. One of the new party of Lndley lis Lake Placid man, Erling Strom an experienced imountaineer; another is Henry Lick Superintendent lof Mckinley National Park, and the fourth Grant iPearson is a Park Ranger. Lindley has flown laround the mountain to determine the best ap- proach and is convinced that the only available lroute is that taken by Stuck An airplane is to be used from Fairbanks base to observe the progress of the party. By that device little time would be lost if rescue expedition should become necessary.

JUNEAU's CLEAN UP CAMPAIGN.

The clean up and paint up campaign in Juneau ought to be a thorough Juneau is the best town of its size on the Pacific Coast and it ought to be the cleanest and brightest town. Juneau IS not only good business town but it is a fine place in which to live. That is one reason why it is a good business town. Those towns that are good to live in are usually thriving business com munities.
 There is nothing that contributes to better living conditions than to have town spic and span. Neat houses freshly painted, and well groomed yards with gardens lawns and flowers artistic fences and walks are satisfying to residents them to have pride in their town and make them happier
 Juneau business houses carry the stocks that are necessary for beautifyng the City, and there is no reason at all for not making the Capital City the home of the most contented and happy people in the country and a matter of joy and pride to Alaska
 The campaign that starts today will be continued for at least week. and generally, hope, through out the Spring and Summer. The cooperation ought to be complete and the effort should be earnest

Indian Service in the States, for a considerable period, we tended to take more and more of our Indian children away into board ing schools neglecting the local community altogether. In Alaska you have shown how unnecessary it is to do this; how much better it is to take advantage of the slow process of everyday schooling, everyday working everyday living. I know that local community day schools are not nearly as beauti- ful to look at as the fine boarding institutions can be; but l know that what is done in the small local schools is the thing that counts in the long run.
 My admiration remains strong CT than ever for the local village or community teacher who is guiding the whole community te

time we are bound to remember the specific situations into which the particular groups of native people we are working with will eventually go.
 No Standard Plan
 This means that we cannot have a standard plan for Alaska or for native people anywhere. It may be that in many parts oi Alaska, as in parts of the Indian Service in the States, the only possible training program is one that prepares boys and girls sc abandon the life their parents have lived, simply because there is nc economic possibility in that life Elsewhere, on the contrary, We may find it valuable to train boys and girls for the very life which they are now living because they can continue to live in that lift successfully. Nor are the tw' things really separate = we may have to educate the same boy and girls with both ends in mind
 There is one thing for whlcl I have always admired the wort with Natives in Alaska and m. recent closer acquaintance with thu Alaska situation has intensifiet this early admiration I mean th' emphasis that has been placed up on development of better hvlnl conditions in the communitie themselves.

HOLLYWOOD BARGAINS

We have just received a few more diamonds from a Hollywood Broker and they are just as good bargains as the others. Our GUS toners for those are highly pleased and they should be as we have seen nothing to compare to these values in our thirty years in the diamond business.
 This price condition is only tenn porary. The Diamond Syndicate has not reduced prices one cent. They are doing just as they did when the Russian Debacle threw so many diamonds on the market They simply said Our price is the same" and waited until the distress goods were reabsorbed and then we paid the same. Diamonds at these prices are a better buy than any bona or stock on the market as any firm may go broke but the world will not, and lovers will always buy <, diamonds.
 We have fine white perfect 94 hundreds for $275.0O, usually worth about six hundred It is in an old fashioned Tiffany mounting such as your mother wore and will need resetting. A fine white perfect 76 hundreds for $15000 in a real snappy modern mounting is anoth- CT opportunity. Also wonderful forty-two hundreds for seventy dol lars.

Eat every stage of their journey to

handled to avoid bruising. Tempera-
lures to which they are subjected also
are as carefully watched as the tenn
perature of an infants milk. Too slow
or too rapid ripening may mean the
loss Of whole cargoes Of fruit.
"When the plantation manager is
advised, perhaps by radio, that fruit
ship is due to arrive at his port and
certain number of stems are ex-
pected from his plantation, he dis
patches workmen to bring in the re-
quired quantity. 1t takes an expert to
select the stems of proper grade for

were evenly distributed, every man,
woman and child would have received
several dozen, for more than 55,0OO.OOo
stems of bananas were delivered at
our ports" says bulletin from the
National Geographic society.
"While the banana is one Of the
most popular fruits in the fruit bowls
of the United States, it is an alien.
Banana plants demand hot climate
with plenty Of rainfall. That is why
former Central American jungles have
become the worlds most prolific
banana plantations. Central American
republics supply more than half of our
bananas; Jamaica, about One-fourth,
and most of the others come from
southern Mexico, Cuba and Colombia.
"The banana started its journey
around the Tropics of the world from
India and the Malay peninsula. When
it reached the West Indies and Cen
trail America is as debatable as the
origin of the American Indian. 1t was
q stranger in the United States until
the latter part of the last century. In
1870, schooner captain, returning to
Boston from Jamaica, brought stem
of bananas as a curiosity. Fifteen
years later a company was organized
to appease the growing American ap-
petite for bananas.

Banana Tops y. S. Fruit Import

by the twelfth month, banana
plant begins to produce fruit. The
plant, though 1t grows from IS to 40
feet high, is an herb, not tree. It's
trunk is a compact mass Of leaves,
the new leaves growing inside the old.
A huge blossom thrusts itself out Of
the top Of the trunk after several
months growth. The blossom devel-
ops rapidly, becomes topheavy and
slowly droops over the side Of the
trunk Shortly the bracts or bios
som leaves fall and for the first time
bananas are visible-clusters Of tiny
green fingers that stick straight out
from the stem.
One Stem Per Tree.
Each stem Of bananas delivered at
the ports of the United States repre-
sents a plant. Therefore, 1t took more
than 55,000000 plants to supply banana
consumers of the United States last
year. The old plant succumbs to the
blade Of plantation workmen but,
meanwhile, several sprouts are shoot
ing from eyes in the old tree roots.

gions.
Grow From eyes"
"The farmer of the United States
who purchases acreage for a farm
or plantation clears the land before
planting. Not so with the banana
plantation owner. He clears away
weeds and vines, and plants bits of
roots of healthy, producing banana
plants among native trees. Each bit
Of root planted must have an eye,
really a bud, from which young
banana plant sprouts. Later the ma

are left to protect the young plants
