FIGHT ON
Washington Le2i$latnre to
Take l'p Apportionment
{Special. Dispatch to Daily Alaskan) '
Olympia, Wash., Feb. !' ? The Wash
ington legislature will take up the ques
stioa of congres;ional apportionment I
this week. Heretofore the three con
gressmen from this state havebeen elect
ed at large. The platforms of both the
republican and democratic parties in
the last campaign pledged the parties
to divide the state into three districts
as the constitution provides.
This matter has been fought out in
each legislature beginning in 1901.
Hach time it has been defeated. In the
first two congresses it was objected
to as it would be impossible to so divide
the state without leaving one demo
cratic member The friends of the
present congressmen have opposed a
change as it would endanger their
chances of remaining in congress. If
the staoed were divided into districts
the congressmen would be nominated
in separated conventions and noc in the I
state convention. That would take
away the opportunitv the congressmen |
have had of combining and trading!
with other sections of the state for!
delegates.

NEW ROAD
Canadians Plan Rail
way to Dawson
[Special Dispatch to Daily Alaskan)
New Westminister, B. C.,Feb. 11 ? A
Canadian company has been organized
for the purpose of building a railroad
from British Columbia to Dawson and
other Yukon points. A notice of inten
tion to apply for a charter is now being
published.
Some* London Club*.
London has many curious dubs, such
as ilie Utopians, whose motlo Is "Serve
God ami Lie merry," and the Froth
Blowers, whose members are said to
be bound to curse and swear every
time they enter the club. There are
also many unregistered clubs which
have no headquarters and take out no
licenses, and there are also many clubs
whose members are manifestly drawn
together by some common bond of sym
pathy. Amom: these the London Dally
Express enumerates the following:
The Boz club (admirers of Charles
Dickens).
The '03 club lamiealiillty and the arts).
The Royalists (guillotines and dia
monds!.
The Castaways' club (resigned naval
officers i.
The Lost Legion (for empire pio
neers).
The Wn j'? of Miiricirti.
The people of Madeira are as harm
less as their country. The stranger
meets with no snakes and need not
fear mosquitoes; neither has he to
take any precautions against being
molested In the most out of the way
parts. Everywhere civility, politeness
and pleasant laces will greet him.
The prices asked are grotesque, often
live times what will be finally accept*
ed. Some find the absence of fixed
prices abroad a great nuisance, but
the bargaining in Madeira Is so good
humored and can be made so amusing
that the change of custom in this r?
vpect Is rather refreshing.
Attr.icibt Kitchen#.
A well known woman, who makes
the distinction between homekeeplng
and housekeeping, calls the kitchen th?
heart of the home and insists that aft
er Its simple fashion it should be as at
tractive as any other room. In this
flay of cheap wall papers she suggests
frequent papering three or four time*
yearly, greatly preferring the bright
variety and cleanliness thus secured ta
any advantages resulting from the use
of paint which is more expensive to
, renew and mere laborious to keep
| clean.
Flannels.
It Is a mistake to iron flannels. If
pulled out evenly while on the line, so
that they dry in good shape, and if
i when dry they are folded and put in
j the bottom of the clothes basket and
the other clothes piled on them, they
I will be smoothed enough to suit any-.
I body but a crank. Hot irons take th?
| life out of flannel.
Oil llnths.
An oil bath is often very beneficial to
a fragile child or adult. After a warm
bath dip the fingers in a cup of sweet
oil and go over the entire surface of th?
body, using only as much oil as tin
akin will take up. This will often fat
tn * thin scrawny child or an adult.
