“A LEAN YEAR IN WALL
STREET."
II was a poor year in Wall |
street, they say; only $12,913,
457,700 worth of stocks and j
$661,721,000 worth of bonds were
bought and sold.
Lean enough by comparison, no j
doubt; yet this single Exchange!
in a single city “sold” in a sin- !
gle year as many shares as the !
entire stock capital of all lhe|
railroads in the United States, j
with the public* debt of the Brit- |
ish Empire and all its colonies |
added.: or one-tenth of the on-j
lire wealth of the United States;
of every kind. The straight
brokers' commissions alone on
this vast mass of business would
be nearly $3 4.000,000—a sum
scaled down of course by room :
trading.
The sales of slocks, generally ;
for speculation, were almost j
twenty times as gieat as the !
sales of bonds, generally, though '•
by no means always, for invest- j
ment. Whal would have been the \
proportions of these two totals j
if the legislature of 1910 had;
passed, ami if the state had en- |
forced, the Toombs bill to pro- j
Dibit the transmission of wash i
sales by ticker or. telegraph ?

EXPERTS AND THE COST OF |
LIVING.
The Commission on Social Ser- :
vice of the Inter-church Federa- !
lion of Philadelphia has issued!
a caution to women not to come ;
to Philadelphia in search of work |
unless they are assured of 88 a j
week. According to the commis- ;
sion, “a conservative estimate of j
the weekly cost of living for a
self-supporting woman is -87.80.
This is the minimum and it pro
vides only for a hare existence:
it makes no provision for sick
ness, for unemployment or for
any of the amenities of life.”
Similar cautions have been is
sued from other-cities. The sum
lixed for the cost of living var
ies considerably. In New Jersey
it was recently placed for women
at 89 a week by the Public Ser
vice Corporation. In some col
lege settlemets experiments
made by students have shown, it
is said, that it is possible to live
on as little as one dollar a week
so far as food is concerned.
These conflicting figures, coining
from sources equally reliable and
also equally unreliable, confuse
the issue. Perhaps there is no
way in which the cost of living
can be fixed on any general basis.
It differs with different commun
ities, with different races, with
different climates and with differ
ent individuals. That Philadel
phia is receiving more than her
share of young women is quite
probable. Most cities are. But
they cannot be frightened away
by fixing the wage minimum at
88 a week. To many a village girl
that seems like an income to
splurge on.

After all it transpires that
those dinners given by Judge
tiary were not extravagant expen
ditures, but on the contrary, were
a source of great profit.
“What constitutes a happy
marriage?" asks a magazine
writer. In all the years of the
world’s history that question has
never been satisfactorily answer
ed.
A 07-year-old schooner is to
be exhibited at the San Francis
co exposition. Up here in Alaska
we would experience some diffi
culty in finding a steamer so re
cently constructed as that.
An occasional jolting up in the
courts of election officials may
instill into them that respect for
the law which the framers of the
constitution and the public ex
pects should be shown toward it.
The Santa Ana or the Dirigo is
to lake the place of the Dora on
a westward trip. Either of these
steamers are undoubtedly sent up
north so that no loss will ensue
in case they are either wrecked
or f under at sea.
According to the testimony of
lleiny Davison, one of Morgan’s
partners, if the multiplicity of
hanks were abolished and the en
tire question left to J. Pierpont
Morgan, there would be no more
panics and everybody would have
money.

The Sultan of Turkey very
wisely keeps himself effaced in
Asia, while his country is in the!
throes of a losing war. It would j
never do for a successor of Mo

Allah would not countenance such
a spectacle.
This winter has proved the ad- j
vantage of the military wagon
road into the interior. While!
Thompson or Marshall passes j
may occasionally delay travel for i
a day, there have been but few
times when tile mail has not gone |
over the hill on schedule time
and, strange to say, the present ]
severe winter has not interfered i
with the stage schedule at all.

It i- a fact that Valdez beer is a food and not a tonic.
Ask any doctor you know. Valdez beer aids digestion. Use
it a few times with your meals and you’ll find we’re right.
If you drink beer you should use Valdez beer in preference to
others. First, because of its unquestionable high quality.
Second, because it is a home product; brewed in your home
town and all who are interested in the growth and prosper
ity of Valdez should patroniz home products.
