tifying before the Tariff Revision

It may be true, as wired yester
day by the delegate in congress
to his local representative here,
'that, the postmaster general had
‘instructed the mail for the inter
' ior to be routed via Valdez, but we
: are unable to receive confirmation
j of the report. The Prospector
|wired to Alvali Eames, the chief
'mail clerk at Cordova, reciting
.the telegram received here in Val
idez and asking him if he had any
instructions regarding the change
land his answer was short: “Not
! a word.”
i The Prospector has received
messages from the same source
as that received yesterday before
and has found the information
unroliable. The people will re
member that a telegram was sent
last year from Washington stat
ing that the dike bill had passed
the House, when Mr. Wikidel had
the star-spangled flag flying from
his porch and we all rejoiced with
him, in that the long sought for
glacial protection had at last been
granted. The truth was that up
to this day the bill lias never been
introduced into, the House.
You can fool some of the peo
ple all of llie lime; you can fool
all of the people some of the time,
hut you can’t fool the Prospector
all the time.
Wo believe the mail will lie
routed by way of Valdez, but. when
it does come il will be by reason
of the elements and not from po
ol leal pull.

Kpernay, France. .Ian. I7.--A
suicide of an extraordinary char
acter was committed here by (tee
tan Valencia, a workman, ape 30,
who had been disappointed in
love. Valencia first placed a d.v
i amito cartridge on his breast and
caused if to explode. tie was
frightfully burned, but not mor- j
tally hurt. He then stabbed him- •
self twice over the heart. He still I
was able to walk, and remarked
to some neighbors who had rush
ed in, “I have started to kill my
self and now I am going to fin
ish.”
He I hereupon placed another
dynamite cartridge in his mouth,
lighted the fuse and waited for
I he explosion, which lore his head
into fragments.
TOOK EVERYTHING
BUT THE HOUSEI
Sail Lake Oily, Jan. li.—When i
George Loss relnrneil |o hjs home
here.yesterday after a two weeks'
vacation, lie was surprised to see
a furniture van hacked up to his
doorstep and two men busily en
gaged in removing liis furniture.
He was informed by the man in
charge of the moving squad that
the piano in the house had been
purchased a week ago by a sec
ond-hand dealer who was in the
house estimating the value of the
remainder of the household goods.
A further inquiry resulted in the
discovery that the house had been
thoroughly ransacked, evidently
by the person who arranged for
the sale of the furniture. A search
for the new tangled burglar has
proved fruitless.

The Time
To advertise. If business is quiei
invigorate it by bringing your
wares before the buyer. No mer
chant ever succeeded by cutting
down his advertising just because
money tightened up a little. On
the other nand the merchant who
gets the money Is the one who
creates a demand for his wares
through the advertising columns
of the newspaper.
If you have something for sale
write up an advertisement telling
its merits. We will bring it be
fore the people and are confident
It will bring results. Try It.
