Time sure flies. Onily a few short
years ago, two-thirds of the pop
ulation w.is wondering how to
(pronounce the word "garage.”
No. No, Maud, a taxiderm'st is
■not a garage worker.
“This physics book will do half
your work for you,’’ said the
professor.
“Thanks,” said the student, "I'll
take two of them.”
If we had the money we hav.j
spent foolishly, say. woudn’t we
have a glorious old time spending
it footishly?
Somebody asked a college pro
fessor how soiemce helped business,
and he rept'ed, “What would the
suspender business amount to
without the law of gravitation?”
Diner: “Hey, waitress, this chic
ken is as tough as a paving stone.”
'>>d.. »Pert Waitress: “Well, maybe
it’s a Plymouth Rock, sir.'’
Our financial advisor says "when
a man puts the money in his hip
pocket and lets his creditors take
his coat, that is bankruptcy."
It seems to us that the trouble
with all this peace talk is . that it
may lead to war.
Hint to Housewives: Casting too
much bread,.vpgp the waters may
stop up the kitkiheh sink.
“Sir, I have couited your dau
ghter for Are years.”
“Well, what do you want?"
"I want to manry htr.”
"Well, 1*41 be darned. I that
you wanted a pension or some
thing."
The saddest story of the month
was about the woman who used a
flesh-reducer roller for two mouths
•ad the only reenlt was that the
roller got thinner.
"How beautifully the land lies
in that new suburb.”
"Yes, but it’s nothing to the way
the real estate agent liee."
Rufus—Did you ever fool with
'the stock market?
Goofus—No. I was in earnest.
The stock market did the fooling.
Minister—Don’t you ever attend
a place of worship?
Youth—Yes, (dr. I’m on my way
to her house now.
I'111.1!""1. . J? * >.
Perhaps the cotton surplus could
he reduced by a more judicious
distribution of boll weevils.
Pr seiner—It is hardly reason
able to charge me with being a
forger, when I can’t sign my own
name.
Judge—You’re not accused of
signing your own name.
“Old rich'boy doesn't* seem to be
happy even though he plays golf
all the time.”
“No. He says he may have to
find some sort of work to take his
mind off of golf.”
Boston Man— I understand the
two candidates carried on quite
an epistolary bombardment.
Westerner—No, they didn’t use
no pistols; they jdst writ letters
back and forth.
A football player had gone to a
western town and was Instructing
a group of eager young cowlboys
in the arts of football. “Mind,”
| he said', “if you can't kick the ball
I kick one of the players on the
other side. Now let’s get busy.
Where’s the ball?”
"Never mind the ball; let’s get
on with the game,” cried an en
thusiastic pupil.
1st tramp—Say. Weary, I feel
dat I kin breathe easier from now

2Pd tramp—Why so?
1 st tramp—THs is my 40th birth

An effort is be'ng made on the
part of some of the salmon pack
ers to have the salmon industry
included in the National Canners'
Association code, thus doing away
with the necessity for a separate
code. The smaller packers are
represented as being opposed to
any such move for the reason
that they feel the National Can
ners’ Association would have no
particular interest In salmon and
such an attitude would react ad
versely upon the salmon packers.
Still others believe the Industry
can operate under the master
code alone. Another group is
holding out for.a specific code for
salmon.

Follown^ a conference among
members of the commttee it was
decided that because of ,th»
ness of the season it wonld be
best to postpone tha- visitation un
ti\ next summer. ;ur ., f, ,
The schedule as cwginally drawn
up. had called for< departure from
Seattle during the early pert of
this month, but some of the Sen
ators could not. get away at that
time.
The primary purpose of the trip
was to hold hearings at Metlak
atla.
A bill which Delegate Dlmond
will endeavor to have passed as
speedily as possible when the sec
ond session of the 7Srd Congress
convenes in January will he one
advancing the date of the Alaska
election.
Since approval of the last am
endment to the Constitution does
away with "lame duck" sessions
of Congress and provides for the
meeting of that body in January
Instead of March it will be nec
essary to hold the election In Alas
ka considerably earler than in the
past In order to certify the election
of the Delegate by January.
It is probable that the bill will
provide for tbe election to be held
early in September. Enactment of
the masure will mean that cons'd
erably more votes will be cast, as
many electors will be in the Terr
itory in September who would have \
gone south by November.

“thoroughly sound'* and calling
upon President Roosevelt to adopt
it. Green said:
“A President who has shown
his. scorn of tradition and worn
opt,..customs should find this pro
posal interesting and alluring. I
hops he . finds it worth a broad
scale trial.”
Declaring there is still plenty of
gold in the hills of well-defined
plaoer regions, Green added:
„ “Prospectors will finds it, pan it
or 'dig it, and turn it into the
channels of comeree, to back up
credit to many times its value, to
feed those who mine' it and to re
lieve -communities or unemployed
workers. \
“Newly fledged placer miners,
barring some lucky strike, will
not get rich, but they will gain a
wealth of renewed faith in them
selves and their country."
