BELIEVES NELSON .
BILL BAD MEASURE
%
George W. Gosha*, writing from
Seattle states that the passage of the
Nelson Bill, which proposes to cut off
a large area of the Third Division,
in the vicinity of the Kuskokwim val
ley west to Cape Newenham will work
a great injury to Alaska, and that i
residents should take the matter up j
and defeat the measure if possible.!
Mr. Goshaw, who is perhaps better i
acquainted with the region than any
other Alaskan, having traversed it j
many times, buying furs, suggests ]
that action be deferred until the Al
aska legislature meets and gives Al-1
dance to express an opinu *
on thesubject Throwing this section
into the Second division he believes
would work a hardship on the i
dents, who would be compelled to go
i
to Nome to transact business. Dele-!
gate Grigsby and Judge Bunnell oi i
the Fourth division , who is also well j
posted on the region have voiced a
strong protest, but as is usual with;
such matters, the advice of residents \
of the territory is not considered '
worth anything.
Senator Nelson’s reasons for pro-1
posing the change are somewhat am
biguous, and have not taken into con- j
sideration the wishes of Alaskans, so
far as is known. . j
t
Mr. Goshaw states that his com
pany put in two additional &
this season, one at Shismareof islarn
in the Arctic and one on the Upper
Kuskokwim at Chagamute, and at
tempted to put one in at St Lawrence
Island, but owing to storms was forc
ed to jettison the carga to save the
schooner and those aboard, & hard
job in the terrific seas running. The
company vessels could not get into
the North Cape station which was
supplied last year owing to heavy
Arctic but will try again next
year He returned south on the las!
trip of the Victoria and after closing
up this \ ear’s business in Seattle, will
leave for the white lights of Broad
way, tne home of the newly elected
president Mr. Goshaw says that it
is possible that he may make a trip
to the Kuskokwim and on to Nome
is winter, but being surfeited with
i og mushing does not hanker after
i ic job.

COST OF AN IDEAL
f
The cost of an ideal was the Fun
day evening theme chosen by Lev.
Duane Earl Carter, and the words of
hir text were those spoken by Jesus:
“Tf any man would come after me, let
lim deny himself, and take up his
cross daily, and follow me.”
Jesus was an idealist, a seeker aft
er the highest beauty or good. Con
Hdoiisly or otherwise he was carrying i
oat the original conception of the !
idea, aa immaterial pattern in accord
ance with which he sought t^faahion
his kingdom on earth .in the hearts of
men. A life without an aim ordefi
nite purpose is as driftwood caught in
the eddy of a stream, swirled round
and round but reaches no port.
The Master made clear to his dis
ciples the difficulties that must be met
in their efforts to build up his king
dom in this world. He outlined to them
the cost of an ideal. There was no com
pulsion, no pressing men into service.
There must first be the willingness
1 to come. Inducements to lead the will
to make right choices are not wanting
in the teachings of Jesus. Having the
will to come the disciple must esti
mate the cost set forth in these three
items. ‘ -
irirst: He must deny himself. The
beginnings of our best education is in
denials. Man starts life chiefly as ar.
animal with a strong inclination to
' gratify the animayiesires and impul
ses to the limit But man is of a dual
nature. There is a spiritual side
! m H as an animal. The animal must be
• controlled in order that the spiritualr
the real man, may have the opportun
ity .0 unfold and develop.
Secondly: He must take up hh
cross daily. Sometimes Christian trutl
has been presented in such a manner
as to appear to be all denials, and the
cross to be taken up an intolerable
harden that crushes out all the joy and
cheerfulness of life. The cross is ser
vice to the family, the community, the
nation and the world. This was the
1 ci^s that Jesus willed to bear and
cheerfully bore thru the short stay of
thirty-three years upon earth, not
! simply one day in the week bui
; throughout the seven.
Thirdly: The disciple was to fol
; low Jesus through life and hlong a
| road similar to that which Jesus walk
1 cd and at the end he would have the
1 satisfaction of having lived the life of
! a true man, paid the cost and attained
as nearly as possible the ideal. With
Paul he could say “I have fought the
good fight, J have finished the course.*
; I have kept the faith.”

The Common Fault With
Most Cooks is to Use Too
Much
f\NE of the most embarrassing things for a housewife is
w to have her cake turn out “heavy”-—or herpiecrust ...
“soggy.” Not only unsatisfactory to the palate but the
cause of many people saying: “Pies give, me indiges
tion”—or “I can’t eat pastry.”
Yet this is a condition easily avoided.
Don’t use too much shortening.
You use Va to % less Mazola than you need of
either butter or lard—with better results.
■ ■■ ■ * ■ ■■ i ■ "
If it’s pie, Mazola will make the finest, most delicate
and easily digested crust you ever tasted.
Or if it’s cake—both lightness and richness will result
from using Mazola.
And being an oil it is always ready for instant use
no tiresome “creaming-in.”. - •
This is because Mazola is an absolutely pure, vege
table fat from an edible source. It is 100 % fat—con-. .
tains no moLture as is contained in butter and lard. . .,
Once you try Mazola you will prefer it to lard and
other shortenings.
