LABOR is entitled to just and equitable en
actments in order that it may share in
the profits it creates.
WOMEN must be considered in the making of
new laws for the Territory in order that
their interests may be guarded in a fair
and equal manner.

greater part of my life I feel competent
to legislate for the development of our
vast northern country.
1AM confident the people of the Third Di

casting their ballot for me at the polls
next November.
THE many changes that will require the
attention of lawmakers under the fast
growing resources of our vast Territory
must be met with good judgment and
precision.
EVERY voter is most respectfully solicited
to give the questions of this campaign
his undivided attention before casting his
ballot on Tuesday, November 3, 1914, and

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 6— Captain
Porter has been detailed by the Sec
retary of the Interior to go to Alaska
on the Alameda leaving Seattle on
Wednesday for the purpose of ob
serving weather conditions during the
winter fnonths along the different
lines of the proposed government rail
road and also at the proposed term
inals.
Secretary Fish, of the Valdez Com
mercial Association, recently point
ed out to the Secretary of the Inter
ior that “no comparative survey of
routes could possibly be complete
without observations being mnde of
the climatic conditions during the
winter months along the lines of the
proposed routes and also at the term
inals.” It was also brought to the
attention of Secretary Lane that the
government could not. afford to make
any such mistake as had been made
by private corporations in the past.
Mr. Fish Is convinced that the Val
dez route will show very favorably in
comparison with the other routes pro
posed for the government road.
Mr. and Mrs. Cashman and daugh
ter, Patsy, came In last night from

Washington.—Warren W. Bailey of
Pennsylvania introduced in the house
a bill directing the president to “pat
the officers and enlisted men of the
army and navy to work.” The presi
dent is directed to employ the officers
and men in the construction of the
Alaska railway, the reclamation of
swamp lands, construction of Missis
sippi river levees, river and harbor im
provements, and is forbidden to hire
manual labor outside of the services
until the supply from within them is
exhausted.
Ur. Bailey Issued a statement in
which he said:
"If we must have a huge standing
army and a big navy—and all the Jin
goes agree that we must in the inter
ests of the world's peace-then let’s put
them to work.”

broke the silence by saying gravely, *T

tacked this gentleman.” And. taking
out his pencil and paper, be drew up a
report as follows: “At the first shot
Ur. X. was taken with a sudden attack
of tachypodla that would not yield to
treatment The seconds therefore, on
consultation with the physician, stop

saved. _

-HOW TREES EAT.
They Seem to Digeet Their Food Be
fore Abeorbing It.
Every gardener knows that a tree
can be fed and made to grow with in
creased vigor. If proper nourishment
In the form of humus, nitrogen, phos
phate, etc., be placed about its roots
the tree will absorb this food and grow
rapidly and strongly.
But how the tree feeds is somewhat
more difficult to explain. In all prob
ability the tree digests its food first
and consumes it afterward. Certain It
is that the average tree has no means
of consuming food as a whole, as mem
bers of the animal kingdom absorb it
It is well known that the larvae of
certain Insects digest their food first
and consume it afterward. Observa
tion would indicate that this is exactly
what the tree does. The tiny rootlets
act on the substances In the earth, dis
solving and breaking them up so they
can be absorbed through the root pores.
In order so to be taken up the chemi
cals must be In liquid form and devoid
of all waste.
The end of each root is armed with
a horny substance, with which it can
burrow through the hard soil In search
of food. When food Is found it is dis
solved Into a liquid and absorbed by
the root fibers. Prom the root the food
Is carried by the snp to all parts of the
tree.—St Louis Globe-Democrat
CHINESE HUMOR.
Illustrated by a 8tory of the Hospi
tality of Two Friends.
That the Chinese are possessed of a
keen sense of humor Is shown by the
following anecdote which Is related in
the Spirit of the East Magazine:
"There were two men who had been
friends from their school days. One
lived In the town, the other In the
country. After a separation lasting a
whole year, the countryman decided
to pay a visit to his friend the towns
man. The latter gave him a hearty
welcome, bat the repast he furnished
consisted merely of two bowls of rice
and a single egg.
“ ‘What a pity,’ he said with a great
sigh, ‘that you came bo earlyl If you
had only waited for another year, my
friend, we should have had fowl for
our dinner, as this egg would have de
veloped Into a chicken!’
"Not long afterward the townsman
returned the visit Por bis entertain
ment the countryman cut a hard piece
of bamboo rod Into small pieces, salt
ed them, roasted them in fat and serv
ed them up.
“‘What a pity,' he ejaculated, *you
came so late! If you had only come
a year ago, my friend, we should have
had tender bamboo shoots for dinner
today!’ ”
An Unrepresentative House.
One of tlie most elaborate calcula
tions of the composition of tbe house
of commons a hundred years ago Is
given In Dr. Oldfield’s “Representative
History.” According to this, 218 mem
bers were returned by 87 peers In Eng
land and Wales, 31 members by 21
peers In Scotland and 51 members by
30 peers In Ireland. Thus just 300
members were returned by peers. In
addition 137 members were returned
by 90 commoners In England and
Wales, 14 members by 14 commoners
in Scotland and 20 members by 19
commoners In Ireland, while the treas
ury commanded 11 seats, the admiralty
4 and the ordnance 1. Consequently
In a house of 058 members 171 could
claim to be more or less Independent—

How Wa Go to 8loop.
Sleep begins In Its first phase by a
state of distraction, which brings on
states of absentmindedness, accompa
nied always by numerous and separate
hallucinations, closely connected with
the length of the nbsentmlnded states.
Immediately afterward. In a second
phase, these states of distraction pass
Into a very delicate motor disturbance,
due to the absence of parallelism In
the axes of the eyes or by the devia
tion of their conjugate movements,
says the Family Doctor. Finally, In
a third and final phase, which Indi
cates the very near approach of actnal
sleep, the vasomotor system seems to
conform to laws very different from
those that regulate Its mechanism dur
ing waking hours.
Under a Banyan Tree.
Tbe first parliament house of the
