Moving North.
(Anchorage Times )

Significant movements under way to Alaska. Every steamer sailing from Seattle recently has been crowded with passengers and arrivals report many of the newcomers heading for the hills as prospectors. Some of the steamer sailings wit messed thousands of people the wharves at Seattle to the Alaska bound travellers sail Old rush days re-enacted. Of the throng remain ing on shore many if not most of them would come if they had the wherewith.
 Equipment also is moving to Alaska in a way not known for years Several big ship loads of supplies coming for the erection of neries to say nothing of the annual fleet carrying supplies for canneries already established
 General freight shipments into the North have
 increased to such a degree the Alaska Steamship Company has put on two additional freighters and an independent steamship line has just entered the Seattle-Seward field
 Mining equipment is coming to Alaska this summer in a way not witnessed for years. Thou sands of tons of material including dredges, drag line outfits, and caterpillars are billed to come-and much of this freight already is under wa. Many car loads of such equipment have passed through Anchorage the last few weeks enroute to the Interior More will be here this month and next. lot of it is going down the Panama and Yukon to the Iditarod and upper Kuskokwm. Sim liar heavy shipments will be moving into Good News Bay, to Nome, along the Yukon River, into Fairbanks, into the Copper River and other areas. The revival is in Alaska-and there should
 be a smile every face-to welcome better days.

Federal Placement Committee Renders RepOrt-State
 Legislation Proposed Preference for Service Men

Legislation that would give vet erans of the state preference 10 appointments in public depart ments of the stRet is being con. sidered by the legislative commit tee of the American Legion it is noted in a report of Michael Owens of Hartford, chairman of the vet erans' placement committee of Connecticut. The notation is in- cluded in the report of the Con- f,ecticut Veterans Placement Ser- vice for the 10 months period end- Ing october 30, 1884.
 The report shows ASA waterbury veterans were placed during the period from January to October. A total of 25S veterans are on the Registered list for Waterbury and 5S7 are on the active file.
 In referring to the need for legis- 1ation to aid the veterans, the re- port states:
 Another phase of the reemploy- ment program, that known as Public Works, has not been of material aid in the placement of veterans. Only men qualified in road construction are eligible for assignment, hence, unless a vetet- an is experienced in this type of work, his right of priority means nothing. That comparatively few

TRUE REFLECTION
 THE WOMAN OF THE HOUR
Presented by INSTITUTE OF CHARACTER ANALYSIS

Q. Should my daughter con- tinue dancing or do something else and what?
 A. You fail to give me your daughters age or birthdate-butif if she has exceptional talent for dancing it would be wise to keep it up-but in the meantime = lit her for some practical work also a good business education is never lost. Just at present everything to professional dancing is at a low ebb-but dancing is very attrac- tive art and those that excel-in time find a place. By all means let her keep it up-unless it is strain on your 'pocketbook'-if so-she can practice the gymnastics that tend to keep her in trim. There will be no trouble taking it up again at a later date. If it is natur- al for her-and she has plenty of 'rhythm'-she will continue and succeed in spite of everything. You know some of our greatest dancers learned and practiced' on the "hard street pavements" with the music of harmonicas, and whistling.

later in the kIuld milk market. The commissioners finds that of all the Ialfy products, cheese is facing the most depressed market and 1t IS his opinion that a greater consump- ton of cheese by the majority of people would not only add to their health but also eliminate the threat of smaller milk checks to the dairy farmer.
 National Chees Week is expected to stimulate consumption to the extent of 30, GOO, 900 pounds, or the equivalent of 30O,0O0, ,OO0 pounds of milk which has done much to de- press prices and retard other ef- forts to assist the dairy farmer. Although the Connecticut dairy farmers benefits from National Cheese Week will be of an indi- rect nature, it is expected that the results will be decidedly beneficial,

 "The Veterans Placement rep. resentative was successful in in- tcresting the American Legion in endeavoring to secure legislation that would give the veteran a real preference to appointment in pub- lie departments. A resolution was adopted by the American Legion, and the legislative committee of the Legion will seek amendment of the present veterans statute in order that it may be made oper- ative. Despite the lack of teeth in the present statute, some head way has been made with state departments, and placements are being made at this time in one large department"

A. Why not ot?-happiness is a matter of spirit-you can't escape sorrow and the vicissitudes of life, any more than the rest of us. They say the happiest people in the world are poets and saints"-be- cause life to them is never taken too seriously and they are the true philosophers. Here are few characteristics that might have a tendency to cast gloom over you, to a certain extent-a bit too much foolish pride - feelings easily wounded-more than a little sels willard a mania for complete in- dependence-which by the way can never exist-because we all depend more or less on one an- other.
 Q. Will I always have to work? !?

say the only man who enjoys a holiday is the working man-but hard manual labor is no fun as the years creep on-couldn't you cover that by insurance ?-That is poor mans recipe for safety in old age. There are many different types of insurance that cover all angles--if you are always working you need never let your premiums lapse. You could insure for happiness and ease-and not necessarily for death-Look into it.
 Q. Will I ever go back? A. Yes-you will go back-but after you have seen the old familiar places and loved faces-it won't be long before you will begin longing for the U. s. A. That is a very strong tendency in your type. Don't let the lack of work drive you away-for there is no doubt but radical or forced-but a founda- tion is being laid that will bring us-a safe and lasting prosperity.
