THE ALASKA CENSUS
The men who have been appointed
by th?- census bureau to take the cen
sus of Alaska, will not have an easy
time of It on account of the area
which thvy will have to cover.But by
placing l-t> men in the field in the nor
thern country the bureau has shown 4
disposition to make the enumeration
as thorough and accurate as possible.
The 1910 census ought to tell an
eloquent story of progress in Alaska.
Development has been rapid since the
taking of the ixxisus of litOO. and no
doubt, on a percentage basis, the pro
gress will compare favorably with the
colossal energies which marked the
ten years between 1S90 and 1900, a
period of great excitement in the
history of the northern country.
Special efforts should be made, in
any event, to make the census a fair
statement of the progress Alaska has
made within the last ten years. If
the reports of enumerators are ac
curate in detail, they will probably
surprise even those best posted on
Alaska conditions, for in a territory
as large as Alaska many small indus
tries are bound to spring up without
attracting the attention of even close
observers.
What Is most desireable, and it will
be most valuable, is a statement as
nearly exact as possible of Alaska's
population, industries and all that en
ters into the social and material life
o* the northern country, for the ex
act figures will tell a romantic story
ot progress. ? Seattle P. I.
CONTENTMENT.
1/
The weather, as you'll all agree,
has been intensely hot; and yet I
would not sail the sea in an expensive
yacht; for I can swipe a chunk of
ice, and buy a palmleaf fan, and they
will keep me just as nice and cool
as any man. My poor old legs all
spavined are, from chasing through
the town, but if you brought a mo
tor car, I'd surely turn it down; if
sometime weary of my cares, I wish
to end them all, my humble home
has cellar stairs, down which a man
may fall. They say it's mighty fine
to soar upon an aeroplane, away
above the city's roar, and close to
Charles' wain; but should it seem to
me discreet, some day. to break m.v
back. I'll walk a block and take a
?eat upon the railway track. My
friends are going to the woods to
camp and hunt and fish; to haunt
the silent solitudes is some men's
dearest wish; but if a sim'lar hermit
plan to me should e'er look wise. I'll
go and visit with the man who does
not advertise. There is no sense in
making tracks for Timbuctoo or Rome
when you are anxious to relax, for
you can rest at home. There's no
thing that men travel for, in parties
or alone, that I can't order from the
store at any hour by 'phone.
? Walt Mason.
We every day and every hour say
things of another that we might more
properly say of ourselves, could we
but revert our observation to our
own concerns, as well as we extend
It to others. ? Montaigne.
For as the heavens are higher
than the earth, so are my ways high
er than your ways, and my thoughts
higher than your thoughts. ? Isaiah,
Chapter 53 ? 9.

Going Berrying.
The pleasure of huckleberrylng Is
partly In the season tbe lnte summer
time, from the middle of July to Sep
tember. The poignant Joys of early
spring uro passed and the exuberance
of early summer, while the keen
stimulus of fall has not yet come.
Things are at poise. The haying la
over. The meadows, shorn of their
rich RTass, He tawnv Rreeu under the
sky, and the world seems bigger than
before. It Is not n time for dreams
nor a time for exploits. It Is a time
for? for? well, berrying!
But you* must choose your days care
fully, as you do your ilshlng and
hunting days. The berries "bite best"
with a brisk west wind, though a
south one is not to be despised, and n
north one, rare at this season, gives
a pleasant suggestion of fall, while the
sun has still all the fervor of sum
mer. Choose a sky that has clouds in
!t, too, for you will feel their move
ment even when you do not look up.
Then take your pall and set out. Do
not be in a hurry und do uot promise
to be back at any definite time. And,
finally, go either aloue or with Just
the right companion. 1 do not know
any circumstances wherein the cholco
of a companion needs more care than
in berrying. It may make or mar the
whole adventure.? Atlantic.
