The prospect of a second shakeup
In the British government, as indicat
ed in the dispatches relating the res
ignation of the attorney general and
tne possible resignation of other mem
bers, is perhaps the surest indica
tion that England is fast waking up to
an active realization of the deadly ser
iousness of the business with which
she is now confronted in her attempts
tu put a liaiter on the German war
horse. Britain entered the present
conflict with the same careless in
souicence that has marked her atti
tude in all previous international
wrestling matches in which she has
engaged, and with the same disre
gard of possible consequences to self,
only to find that in the present case
she has met a foe that will not give
up the struggle until pounded into a
submission that will strain the last
resource and wrack the very fiber of1
her being to accomplish.
This fact has been lost upon Britain
until nearly a year of struggle had
passed and she found herself still con
tronted with the ame implacable foe
who seemed as well provided and as
deadly as on the day when the first
charge was sounded along the Belgian
border.
Throughout the interval the same
careless indifference, the same old
tendency to “muddle through some
how' which characterized the Boer
campaign, has been the most marked
feature of the British activities and
the British public have at no time,
until the present, been fully aware of
the real seriousness of the occasion.
Like all nations which have grown so
powerful that external danger was no
longer to be feared, Britain and her
people have grown into the belief that i
they were unassailable—that no foe i
however strong could offer more than i
indifferent menace to the national
safety. This despite the efforts of
such men as Bernard Shaw, and the
great Kipling who saw with prophetic
eyes what the national slothfulness
and indifference was leading to and
who sounded the warning, only to be
received with scorn and derision. Even
e the solemn warnings of that great
est of nil her military idols, Lord Rob
erts, could not arouse in the mind of
I the British public a belief that "mighty
i England" was no stronger than her
| weakest factor and that the day would
I come that she would have the bow her
proud head to the fact that there were
otiiers who were as mighty as she.
Scoldings and warnings were alike in
effective and the wisdom of sage and
1 prophet were laughed to scorn in the
! face of a seeming impregnability con
I ferred by the possession of an over
■ whelming war fleet combined with an
isolation which In itself seemed a
hopeless bar to aggression on the part
of others. It has taken England a
year to know hor weaknesse, a year in
which countless opportunities have
been lost, and even now she is only
just commencing to see that she is
confronted with the greatest task of
her existence. The lesson of that year
has not been wholly lost, however, as
Britain has learned in sorrow and
mourning that she is no longer im
pregnable and that there are forces
which require the ultimate of even her
mighty strength to subdue. This is
perhaps the hardest lesson that Eng
and has ever had to learn but at the
same time it is one of the most bene
icial. The realization of the national
peril has naturally resulted In an in
clination toward a general turning over
and weeding out of all deleterious fac
tors which Is finding its expression
n a general clamor for changes in a
weak and inefficient administration of
public affairs. Confronted with a
mighty peril, the nation is fust coming
o realize that only the most efficient
tandling of affairs both at home and
ibroad will save her from the results
f her follies in remaining indifferent
[ o the mighty forces that have been
growing up around her while she re
mained steepd in an indifference for
\ tiich she has already been compelled
. pay a fearful cost.

Will corn mature in the Tr.nana val
ey? That question is easily answered i
jy a glance into the window at the
tied Cro.rs drug store, where a haif J
iozen cars of fully matured corn are
an exhibition, says the Fairbanks}:
News-Miner. The corn is not ripe as
yet, but L,. H. Gillette who brought n
to town from the Shafer ranch, states
that these ears are merely • sucker" or
secondary ears, end that the ears of
corn on the main stalk out at the |
ranch are ripening nicely. There Is
only a small patch of tho corn planted
oy Hoy bhafer as an experiment, it
oelongs to what is known as the nine
ty-day variety. That is, it Is guar
anteed to ripen within ninety days af- ]
cer it is planted. This corn was plant- j
ed on May 19 last.
Clerk of the Court Jay Bell yesterday
received the official returns from two
of the salmon hatcheries in the first I
division for their season's work and
»
certificates of rebate were issued. The
North Pacific Trading & Packing Co. '
liberated 3.653.000 salmon fry from
their Klawock hatchery, which allows
them exemption of taxes for 36,640
cases of canned salmon. The Alaska
ackers Association liberated 20,820,
oou fry from their Forttnann hatch
r near Boring, allowing them an ex
emption on 208,000 cases. Packing
nmpanles which operate their private
hatcheries are allowed an exemption
f tax on one case of salmon for every
100 fry salmon liberated during the
season.—Dispatch.
The initial payment of $500,000 made
last month on the purchase by the
government of the Alaska Northern
tailway. was divided into three parts.
Three hundred and sixty-flve thousand
w nt to the New York branch of the
Canadian Bank of Commerce, for the
Canadian vendors, $70,000 to O. G. La
baree, of Spokane, as payment on his
, nstanding claim of $260,000 and $65,
oou went to Richard Armstrong, of
Chicago. This latter amount is re
eled to be to pay Shedd & Co. and
other American bondholders under the
recent agreement by which their suit
to restrain the sale was dismissed.
However, it is reported that although
these bondholders settled for that ex
act amount, their money Is actually
to come out of the $365,000 paid to
the bank, and that the money that goes
ostensibly to Armstrong in reality will

'1 lie hum of the binder and the
mower in the vicinity of Fairbanks
will soon be a thing of the past for
the summer, most of the ranches re
porting that their grain is nearly all
cut, says the News-Miner of August
,s. Bert Johnson stated this morn- |
ing that he would have finished up to- j
day hut for the fact that the ma
hine with which he was working
broke down. At the Rickert ranch the
oats are all cut and partly in the
lack. The oat crop this year ripened
better than ever known before, ac
ceding to the statement of a well
, „vi, rancher. In fact, the oats could
oe thrashed nicely and a good crop
sc tired in most instances, but the
ranchers here prefer to feed the oats
to their stock as hay. Owing to the
very rainy season this summer, a num- j
of the ranchers lost part of theii
oats crop. Most of them succeeded in
saving their oats, however, although a
large part of the native hay cut is lost.
Dick Thorne, the motion picture man,
states that he will take a picture of a
binder harvesting grain in Alaska, for
advertising purposes outside. u ls
probable that the picture will be taken
next Sunday, when a machine will be ,
in operation at the Rickert farm.

FOUR STEPS TO SUCCESS.
(Nautilus.)
The same power which, working
hrough Mozart, constituted musical
;enius, or working through Raphael,
constituted genius in art, will work
through you in your individual mode |
of expression, whether that be shoe
ing horses or building cathedrals', and
it will express itself through you as
joy, as power, as mastery, as genius.
The Creative Spirit did not use two
kinds of day in making men. Every
man is created for success; and if he
will observe and think and work, he
will come to know this for himself.
The first step toward success lies in
finding your wrork. Probably 90 per
rent of all workers “drift” into their
final occupation, but a man never
drifts exactly where he should go.
Every human being is created for
success In one particular line, and of

ten in no other. And so, the first step
I toward success is to study your de
sires. Stick to your present job, but
| In gin to oberve and study your daily
actions: notice what you enjoy doing
and what you do most efficiently. If
you usually fail to do part of your
work effectively, find out why. If you
discover that part of the faculties
which you should possess seem to be
lacking or dormant, decide what work
you could do which would not require
the use of those faculties. For some
work or other you possess every re
quisite faculty in a high state of de
velopment. I have known a man to
fail completely as a printer, for in
stance, because his “eye” for type faces
—his appreciation and memory for
form was undeveloped; but this same
man went into the advertising depart
ment oft he paper and became very suc
cf ssful.
