takes this down and carries it to q
nearby farm house, where he takes
his meals. He lives and sleeps in
his tent and there he entertains his
friends. Its interior is comfortably
furnished, it is heated with a little
oil stove, there is a carpet on the
floor, chairs scattered about the room
and there is a book shelf and a writ
ing table The weather has not been
cold enough to keep its owner from
using his tent-home all of the past
Winter. In the Summer with the cool
green leaves Of the two broad, spread
ing oaks, 1t must make a more pleas
ant home than the average room of a
big seaside hotel.
Curious characters Of all sorts are
to be seen about the hotels here of
an evening. Last night in the Riggs
House a man dressed in a uniform
with his blue coat covered with
badges and a great white sash run
ming around his shoulder over his
chest paraded up and down the lobby.
He had gray whiskers and his eyes
looked wild I asked the clerk who
he was and the reply was "a crank"
And then there are lots of long
haired men and short-haired women.
Among the latter, DR.. Mary Walker
stands high in the matter of interest.
This woman always dresses in the fin
est broadcloth Prince Albert coat.
Her legs are incased in well-cut PAN
falcons, she wears nicely laundered
shirt and necktie, and she looks like
a little ugly withered boy. There is
nothing striking or intellectual in her
features, and her brownish black hair
hangs in soapy locks down to her neck.
She wears a tall hat when on dress
parade, and Derby on ordinary &C.
casions. I suppose she thinks she is
doing great things to advance womans
rights in wearing mems clothing, but
fear she does more harm than good.
She has not the ability nor standing
of Belva Lockwood, who is indeed a
bright woman and whom you may see
any day riding down F street on a tri-
cycle, showing her red stockings at
every turn of the wheels. Belva has a
law practice and she is not always
hanging around the Capitol or the de-
partments asking for Office.

WINTER OPPORTNITIES
(The Anchorage Daily Times)

(The Anchorage Daily Times)
 Many Alaskans this summer made comfortable small stakes fishing, mining or in other pursuits. They now face the rapidly approaching winter. Should they go outside and spend the money. Decidedly not.
 Men who go outside this winter will find nothing to do but spend what they have. With millions of of idle in the states and many more sure to soon be idle there will be no room for the average Alaskan to fit in without some highly special ized line.
 It is ten to one the man who goes out with a full poke will re- turn with an empty one. The man who remains in Alaska and has a poke to buy an outfit has, every chance by hustling in the hills of coming out even--by trapping or developing some hard rock prosect or punching holes in some promising placer area.
 It is the man who has the grit and the industry to work who turns up the big stakes in mining. If 9 man hits it right in the prospecting game, the money comes quick. The game is fascinating one. True it takes d-blooded he-men to carry on such a game, but Alaska is noted for that type of men.
 It is well worth the while when the stakes one plays for in the pros pecting game are so high. The field is an open one.
 The man with nest egg in the way of a surplus from summer wages or other earnings will do him. self service to buy his outfit before he eats too far into his funds or 3issipaes them.
 Now is the time to look about for & winters proposition or to create one. Initiative goes long way in the game. And the will to do is the first essential in getting started

Did you ever feel tug at your
 heart, And were restless and could not be
 still,
 While magnetic force seemed to
 tear you apart, With a yearning that naught seemed
 to fill. You walked about as a. man in q
 trance. And were grouchy and i'll as a bear. Your ears were deaf to music, no
 pleasure in dance, Alaska" is calling you there. The air hangs heavy with mists; Your tempers on edge, you're
 nervous and jerkey, While you yearn fer the trails turns
 and twists, A frost bitten nose, a finger-tip
 nipped, ,Tis an everyday thing to Dog Mushers." They're often down but never say They are Men, and. never four -. flushers, < We've been on the trail twelve
 hours or so, v And pushing our dogs to their best. The stars are out, and it's forty
 below, <1i There's where man meets his most
 trying test. @, We top a rise, and see light far
 ahead, V Our dog team, though Jagged, tighten traces, And with visions of fish and soft
 snowy beds,; es They leap into neck breaking paces. By the roadhouse stove, after eating
 our fill, We sit scanning the month old
 papers. While the keepers children, refuse
 to be stll,t. Amuse us with haitti-,, pranks and

 rest, To relieve us from all ache. and pain; With the breaking oft day, the dogs

NO PENAL SETTLEMENTS
 WANTED

The Sest Tines in a recent ed itorial joined with Alaskans in pro- est ng against the proposal of California Legionaires to have the feoeral government establish penal settlemens in Alaska The Emoire was the first to voice opposition to the plan as being wholly un-Amer- ican in principle and altogether un- called for.
 The Times, noting the sentiment against the project here said:
 War veterans resident in Alas ka vigorously denounce the proposal to establish criminal detention camps in the territory. A resolu- tion to that effect, which they ad- opted at a meeting in Anchorage last week, will be vigorously sup ported by Seattle. as it should be wherever any sense of justice pre- vails. The proposal to make Alaska something of penal colony bobbed up at the recent and stormy Calif- ornia American Legion convention, where there was so much else to quarrel about that the delegates couldn't have known all that was going on. Alaska is more free from crime than any state in the union 1, The idea of sending criminals there for punishment or detention is wholly offensive" - Juneau Empire

George ti. Allen, commissioner ot the District of Columbia, returned recently to Washington from per- sonal trip through the no-man's- land of unemployment prociaimine two big facts: ,ts.
 1. "Ninety-eight. Der cent. of
 the unemployed want nothing
 in the world but jobs"
 2. "The snootiest people on
 Gods green earth arc running
 the Federal government. unem-
 ployment agencies.
 Mir. Allen is one of the three con naissioners who govern the nation :. capital. He is an experienced busi- ness man, having managed some of WasS;ngton's largest hotels. He therefore, might be expected to take 8 cos servatiHe view. of. the employ r.en, problem.
 It IS a part c Mir, Aliens task to handle unemployment relief in the capital, and he felt that he needed more first information.
 He put eu work trousers and T5- cent shirt, let his beard gov enough to look ragged, ard travelled through NTilwaukee, Chicago. Detroit, Cleve- land and Toledo as man looking or work.
 q find that as to 9S per cent of the people you find around relief stations and employment agencies, all they want is job MT. Allen declared on his return. "Furthermoe, ali of them hope that they are going to get a job; tomorrow, perhaps,
 the next day, How long this hope will hold out, Isdon't know; but it's there now..'
 q found that our employment system is wrong from beginning to end. Around the federal agencies 1un by the federal government, you will find the. snootiest people on Gods green earth. You ask them for job and they. feel they, are do- ing you a favor when . they take your application.
 "We've got to treat the unemploy- ed with more respect. Our methods are not so hot.
 "I have been hotel executive most of my life," Allen continued. q have been going around with the big shots, meeting well-dressed people, ordering bell-hops around and having a good time. A lot of my friends have been telling me that we are handling this relief busi- ness all wrong, and that handing out money only makes people into buns
 "Now I know they are wrong. Ninety-eight per cent of the joblesz men I talked to want nothing on earth but jobs. I spent hours every day just talking to the unemployed.' '' He added that while Commun- ist speakers can get listeners by talking about overthrowing the gov ernment, the. least whisper that a job can be had down the street is enough to make the audience break away and leave the orator talking to the wide open spaces.
