THAT ALASKA DIVIDEND.
Times are quiet outside. Working
people by the thousands are without
steady employment, and the bread
line keeps getting larger. And yet
t very one o X these poor, struggling
soul?, no matter how bitterly he may
suffer for the absolute necessities of
life, is rich. Have we not the
word of Gtfford IHnchot and his
frenzied conservationists that this is
so? If we remember rightly, they
fltoiwd that Alaska should give some
thing like $30,000 to every person
in the United States.
No doubt the heirs of this heritage
would like to realize something on
their valuable assets. It is safe to
say, in fact, that every single one of
them in need would give Mr. Pinehot
all his interest and title m his $S0.
000 Alaska fortune for the price of a
square meal. The Alaska bait is
no longer attractive, even conserva
tionists of the Pinehot stripe are too
wise to dangle it before hungry peo
ple.
la all this we are furnished a val
uable object lesson of the detrimen
tal effects of the Pinchot conserva
tion v?. the constructive methods of
the Fisher conservation; the one con
servation by theeofv, the other prac
tical conservation. For instance,
but for the Pinchot policies, Alaska
today, instead of being bankrupt and
with the scant and decreasing popu
lation of 40,000 white people, would
be humming with all kinds of in
dustry and supporting three times
that many people and opening the
way for additional thousands. Many
of those now waiting their turns in
the bread lines outside would be find
ing steady employment in the coal
mines, the smelters, railroads and
other industrial and commercial en
terprises which would have material
ized but for the Pinchot blight More
over, this industry would have ex
tended along the entire Pacific Coast.
But no, the bogy man was about
to gobble Alaska whole, and it re
mained for this man Pinchot to play
the role of Jack, the giant killer.
We would say to our brethren out
side, however, despite the handicap
put upon us. a man is never without
the prke or means of a square meal
in Alaska. A bread line or free soup
hoose was never known in Alaska.
And while, because of Pinchotism,
steady employment does not offer* for
as many as we would otherwise be
in a posi'ion to invite, we can still
care for and furnish additional homes
for many o' those who are up
against it outside. It is the ambition
of every pioneer in Alaska to make
Alaska teeem with happy and pros
perous homes ? Cordova Alaskan.
THROUGH YOUTHFUL EYES.
I WENT to see a circus once.
When I was very young.
The Jokes were better, you can bet.
Than any since then sprung
1 laughed at every single word
The clown man had to say.'
My poor old dad he almost had
To carry me away.
The elephant waa quite as large
Or larger than the tent.
The tali giraffe. X do believe.
Uade In the skies a dent.
When the hyena looked at you
You had to hold your breath.
The lion roared so very loud
It scared you most to dwath.
But In the crowded circus ring
Was where you saw the sights?
The pretty miss who walked around
Is bright, bespangled tights:
The Juggler, who could balance chairs
And tables on his nose;
The hero on the high trapeze.
Who dangled from his t jea.
A circus that will equal that
Again TU never see.
They tell me they are bigger now.
To that I can't agree.
Though many acres more of tents
Are crowded on the spot.
At least they do not seem so large.
And seeming counts a lot

DEALING IN STOCKS.
Know What You Ars Buying Before
Investing Your Money.
We hear of fortunes quickly made
Id Wall street, of aiiucrs who have
accumulated enormous wealth by a
lucky strike, of inventions that have
made Inventors rich But how umny
of these Instances are there? Just a
few, while countless thousands and
hundreds of thousands have lost every
thing Id unsuccessful ventures.
The prosperous, successful man or
woman Is the one who buys with
knowledge of what he or she is buy
ing. whether It be a piece of beef, a
dozen of eggs, a horse, a house or
stocks and bonds.
Money has been made In Wall street
and will continue to be made. Those
who buy stocks when they sell low and
sell them Vhen they advance must
make money. The operation is no dif
ferent from buying a house or a farm
at a bargain and selling It at a profit
But one should exercise Jnst as much
care In one transaction ns In the othi;r.
Ilave nothing to do with those who
cfTer glittering opportunities to get
rich quickly. This will save your
money. It may sound very nice to
say that one owns a thousand shares
of a gold, silver or copper mine with
a par value of $10,000 and that cost
the holder only $50 or $100. But what
use Is such a certificate unless it has
real value? Better put the $.10 or
$100 In one share of a dividend pay
ing stock and be satisfied with mod
erate returns and a moderate profit on |
any advance the stock may enjoy.?

EAGLES IN COMBAT.
Fury of the Belligerent Birds In Their
Duel In the Air.
An old time observer In Maryland
says that Ihe Eastern Shore eagles can i
fly faster, remain In their lofty flight ;
longer nnd descend from it to the earth
with more velocity than any other ere- 1
ated thine with wlugs. He also says
that the fierceness of the eagles and j
the tenacity and power of clutch they
can {>ut Into their Immense talons are
beyond belief, and he cites as an In
stance of it a fight between two of the
big birds that he once saw.
Just what incited the two eagles to '
the combat this spectator of the tight
did not know, but they came together |
high in the air. A long time the two I
fierce birds fought with beak and
talon and wing, rushing upon one an- :
other, delivering their blows and re
treating for advantage in a new at
tack. Then at last they clinched and
fought at close quarters.
In that position they came plunging
to the earth, but neither made any ef- !
fort to stay the fall, so desperately in
tent was each on the savage battle.
They struck together In the freshly
turned furrow of a plowed field, and I
the impact failed to separate them or i
to cause an instant's delay In the fight,
and the coming on the scene of a man
with a club, with which he at once
took part In the battle, did not distract
their attention from one another, and
the man killed them both. Their tal- !
ons were buried so deeply in each oth- i
er's flesh that to separate the two
belligerent eagles It was necessary to .
cut off their legs.? New York Sun.
