FUNDAMENTALS
If your outlook on life is whole
some and you have nothing worth
while to think upon, it is permissahle
to let your mind drift to the subject
of fundamentals. Fundamentals are
all right as long as you don't take
them seriously. But as long as you
begin to believe what you say about
basic? principles and elementary laws
you are likely to become an uplifter
or a blackhand artist. The trouble is
that when you get to brooding over
such massive matters and the eternal
consequences that attend them, you
invariably come to the conclusion
that humanity is dallying in the
primrose path. And then nine times
out of ten, you decide to reform some
thing. The golden rule of reform
ing is: “Do unto others as you would
like others to do you.” But nobody
pays any attention to it. It is just
as popular in theory and as unpopu
lar in practice as other fundamental !
laws of conduct are. Uplift, like char-1
ity, should begin elosenp.—J'.ylge

QUALIFIED VOTERS
At the meeting of the city council
last night the date for election on the
question of taking into the city lim- j
its the tidefiats in front of the town i
was decided upon by that body. |
In the discussion on this election it
was said, and generally accepted by
the councilmen that all qualified vot
ers at the last city election would be
entitled to vote at ine annexation
election, and any resident on the
tide flats was also entitled to vote.
Such, however, is not the case, as
only the owners of substantial prop
erty interests in the district to be
taken in and in the town are entitled.
to vote at an election to decide
whether or not the town shall en
tend its boundaries.
Chapter 76, of the Session Laws of
Alaska of 1913, is the, act under
which the extension of the town
boundaries may be undertaken. Sec
tion 4 of this Chapter reads as fol
lows:
"The qualifications of an elector
for said election shall be as follows:
He or she shall be a male or female
person of the age of twenty-one years
or more, and shall be the owner of
substantial property interests in land,
buildings or improvements on land or
tide land within said corporation or
the territory proposed to be annexed I
to or incorporated within such cor
poration.”
Under this section it will be seen
that something more than mere resi
dence is required. The elector "shall
be the owner of substantial property
interests in land, building or im
provements on land,” and without
this quajification shall not be entitl
ed to vote.

stock of nearly all kinds is now soar

proportion, and yet if the publishers
of a newspaper charges just a reas
onable amount for a job, some peo
ple who ought to know better think

they are entitled to a decent living

FINE SPECIMEN OF
AUSTRALIAN TUNGSTEN
Ross Paden has a sample of Tung
sten ore from Australia which is a
revelation to those who have never
seen anything but the low percentage
ores found in Alaska, samples of
which have been shown here. The
specimen looks very much like a piece
of bull quartz, and the average pro
prietor would pass it up as such with
out much examination, unless he
chanced to notice its weight. It is
pure white, and resembles quartz in
every particular except that it is very
heavy. Its value is several thousand
dollars per ton.

been at the Red Cross hospital for
the past two weeks following a major
operation, has so far recovered as to
be able to return to her home.

THE CELEBRATED SCANDAL
AT EMPRESS TOMORROW EVE
Commencing tomorrow evening the
Empress Circuit presents Betty Nan
sen, the royal actress in her first made
in America photoplay, "The Celebrat
ed Scandal,” the great stage success
by Jose Echecaray, the modern Span
ish Shakespeare.
Betty Nansen is cast as Donna Teo
dora, the beautiful young wife of Don
Julian, a model husband perhaps
just a little bit jealous. The home of
the happy couple is shared by Ernes
to, a young relative of Don Julian’s.
Ernesto is a budding dramatist. Teo
dora is much interested in his work
and quite naturally the pair are
drawn together.
This innocent companionship is
foundation enough for malicious gos
sip to build upon. Calumny con
structs the inevitable triangle and
though Don Julian knows in his
heart that his wife is blameless he
cannot rid himself of vague doubts
and disquieting thoughts.
The climax comes when Don Julian
is killed in a duel by Marquis Alva
rez, chief of the scandalmongers who
had been tormenting him. Ernesto
challenges the Marquis and in a furi
ously fought duel avenges his kins
man’s death. Then the boy turns on
the pack of gossiping busy-bodies,
who, in idle malice havp wrecked a
home and destroyed a life, and with
terrific denunciations drives them
forever from his life and Teodora's.
Miss Nansen is supported by Edw.
Jose, former leading man with Sarah
Bernhardt, Wilmuth Merkyl, Walter
Hitchcock, Stuart Holmes and a full
cast of players of sterling ability.
Thursday, Friday and Saturady
evening, at the Empress.
“The Nigger” will be the next fea
ture play.
