ENGINEERS RERE
TO INVESTIGATE
Making Trip to Cordova On Evans,
Return and Go Over Government
Wagon Road To Chitina.
Chairman Edes, of the Alaska En
gineering Commission, and Engineer
Thomas Riggs, Jr., also of the com
mission, arrived in Valdez this morn
ing and left on the Admiral Ev
ans for Cordova and will return to
Valdez on the Alameda to make a trip
over the government wagon road.
During the past summer the mem
bers of the commission have been in
vestigating all the routes into the in
terior and have had many surveys
made; from Chitina to Fairbanks, also
from Chitina to the Matanuska, be
sides a survey from Ship Creek to
Fairbanks and the Tanana river.
"No survey has been made from
Valdez to the interior,” says Mr.
Riggs,' "because the government al
ready has a large amount of the most
reliable data regarding this route and
its merits will be set forth in the
commission's report. The commis
sion was not appointed to make a
selection of a route, although many
people believe that it was. We were
appointed only to investigate and re
port upon the different routes, the
different harbors on the coast, the
probable cost of construction and such
other matters as are necessary to
have known before the selection is
Vnade by President Wilson, to whom
the congress gave the power of final
selection.”
WIRELESS WORKS
TO SITM STATION
Master Electrician Faust this morn
ing was able to secure a through ser
vice with Seattle from the Valdez ca
'hie office, when he established con
nections direct with the Whltshed
wireless station of the Navy depart
ment. The Morse system, similar to
that used by the wireless operators,
is being used over the cable to the
station, as the local operators are
able to use either system, while the
wireless operators, as a rule, can use
but one.
The wireless station at the en
trance to the Sound then relays south
bound messages to the Sitka station,
where it is placed on the War depart
ment cable again and sent over the
usual route to Seattle.
The system Is slower than that by
direct wire to S ka. but is much su
perior to the long, roundabout, uncer
tain route over the Canadian line.

MEM WINS
IKE RELAY RAGE
Has No Trouble Disposing of Beal and
Kacerosky—Daykln Wins the
Preliminary.
Roy Rohrabaugh, the champion of
Alaska, defeated Ike Beal and John
ny Kacerosky last night In a three
mile relay race at the Valdez skating
rink. The champion had little trou
ble making 77 1-2 laps to the 75 made
by his two opponents. Johnny, In his
pretty tights, took a tumble in the
first of the race, allowing Roy to gain
a half lap and again during the race
the two relay men had trouble pass
ing the “buck" and again the cham
pion made a gain, but It would not
hafva mads sfny ^difference, /for be
had there goat from the start. Beal
Rhowed considerable ability and lost
less ground than his partner. Both
men were outclassed.
The preliminary race between Doc
Daykln and Peter Korth was run in
three heats. The first one Peter threw
a shoe, and Doc, who Is some sports
man, stopped and gave Pete another
chance. When the next race was al
most over Doc threw a shoe and the
judges called that race off, so after
the big event a third race was run
and Daykln went home with the
pumpkin. Korth showed much bet
ter class making the turns, while Day
kin, with his long legs, made his
gains on the straightaway course.
A large crowd enjoyed the events
and cheered the contestants. Music
by the Relnke orchestra was excep
tionally good and that buch have
some brass.

MOODY REBELLED.
Moving a Vote of Thanks Was Not In
His Lina That Night.
Dwight It. Moody during his first
visit to England attended a meeting at
which the Earl of Shaftesbury was
chairman. The duty of proposing a
vote of thanks was assigned to him
and the announcement made:
"Our American cousin, the Her. Mr.
Moody of Chicago, will now more a
vote of thanks to the noble earl who
has presided on this occasion.”
The whole thing was quite out ot
Mr. Moody’s line. With an utter dis
regard of conventionality he hoist upon
the audience with the bold announce
ment:
"The speaker has made two mis
takes. To begin with, I’m not the Rev.
Mr. Moody at alL I’m plain Dwight
L, Moody, a Sunday school worker.
And then I’m not your American
cousin. By the grace of God I’m your
brother, Interested with you in our Fa
ther’s work for his children.
"And now about this vote of thanks
to the *noble earl for being our chair
man this evening.’ I don’t see why
we should thank him any more than
he should thank us. When at one time
they offered to thank our Mr. Lincoln
for presiding over a meeting In Illinois
he stopped It He said he’d tried to do
bis duty and they’d tried to do theirs.
He thought It was about an even thing
all around.”
That opening fairly took the breath
away from Mr. Moody's hearers. Such
a talk could not be gauged by any
known standard. Mr. Moody carried
his English audiences with him from
that beginning to his latest labors,
OLD WORLD BARBERS.
Thslr Prices Are Low and Methods In
8ome Cases Are Crude.
The barber shops of the United
States and Canada are the finest In
the world and charge the highest
prices. Comparatively few dtles of
Europe use American chairs, and many
of these run their barber shops In con
nection with men’s furnishing stores.
In most European cities a hair cut
and a shampoo cost 0 cents, and In
parts of London a shave costs 4 cents.
In some Italian cities 1 cent Is charged
for a shave and 2 cents for a hair cut,
and In Turkey barbers take their en
tire pay In tips.
Many uerman Daroers inane wigs
and switches while waiting for cus
tomers, and many French barbers do
ladles’ hairdressing. Austrian barbers
are compelled to serve apprenticeships
of four years on pay beginning at 41
cents a week and ending at $1-02 a
week before they can own their shops.
Syrian barbers seat their customers
in straight backed chairs before tiny
wall mirrors and fix queer shaped pons
about their throats. Then they rub on
with their fingers lather made from
cheap soap.
In India your barber calls at your
house and shaves yon every morning
for $2 a month.
In China the barbers carry stools,
small tubs, razors and scissors about
the streets, stopping on the sidewalks
to perform their work. Just as scissors
grinders do In America. — Mew York

Gladstone was born at a time when
sinecures such as those held by Horace
Walpole still abounded, and to the end
of his life he took a lenient view of the
persons who profited by them. A. G.
0. Liddell records In his diary on
March 12. 1892: “Dined with the Cob
hams. Mr. Gladstone there. • • •
Some one alluded to the diminution of
sinecures. Mr. Gladstone said that
there was nothing dishonorable In ac
cepting a sinecure If It was recognised
by the society In which It existed and
not considered unusual or unworthy.
One of the last sinecures, where there
was absolutely nothing to do, which
was not the case with all sinecures,
was the office of chief Justice In eyre,
north of the Trent It was held by
Tom Duncombe and was worth f32JXO
per annum.”—London Spectator.
Origin of 8moking.
The origin of the custom of smoking
Is veiled In mystery. The Chinese are
thought to have had the habit at a
very early date, and this Is not sur
prising, Judging today from the China
man’s fondness for the pipe. When
Columbus discovered America he found
smoking Indulged In by .all the tribes
of Indians, but the practice had a re
ligious association to them. From San
to Domingo tobacco was lntroducd Into
8paln and Portugal In 16S9, but It was
then used In the shape of snuff. Sir
Walter Balelgh, however, is the first
man of note to make smoking a fash
ionable habit
An Apology.
“This is no place for such a petty
squabble,” said the police court Judge.
“Now, Mulligan, you apologize to Ho
gan for calling him a liar and I'll dis
miss the case."
“All right Mlshter Hogan, I apoly
glze for callin' ye—callin’ ye what ye
are.”—Life.

plicant "There was never any cash
connected with It”—Ladles’ Home
