NATION TO TEACH
HOUSEKEEPING
Government Plans to Teach Do
mestic Science to Women.
TO AID THE FARMERS' WIVES
Department of Agriculture Has th?
Project Under Way, and Detail* of
the Movement Are Already Decided
On ? "Farmers' Institutes For Wo
men" Is the Slogan.
Convinced that the countrywoman Is
not getting the necessary training In
the w.iy to manage a home and be
cause of the fact that Instruction lu
domestic science is for the most part
coutined to students in towns and cities
the department of agriculture has tak
en up seriously the iiuestlou of how to
traiu the women of the rural districts
to do their work aud manage their
homes.
The individual brought up lu the
country may suspect that the farmer's
wife knows more about running a home
projierly than her sister in the city, but
the department of agriculture doesn't
feel that way about It. It finds a great
need for Instructing the farmers' wives
and daughters lu domestic science and
purposes to make a beginning through
farmers' institutes for women.
Results of Ignorance In Home.
According to a report on the subject
by John Hamilton, farmers' Institute
specialist of the department of agricul
ture. comparatively little is being doue
in training women and girls who live
in the country in domestic science or
the management of the home. The
rural schools do little, and other op
portunities are few. Ignorance in the
home of the proper way to manage It,
Mr. Hamilton poiuts out, means food
improperly prepared and sanitary con
ditions neglected. Moreover, the selec
tion and cooking of food and the keep
ing of things clean are' not all the items
in the duties of the countrywoman.
Other problems exist, such as those
connected with the rearing and educa
tion of children, the clothing of the
family and the social. Intellectual and
aesthetic Improvement of the housewife
herself.
Radical Change In Method*.
According to the census of 1900,
tbere were 37.2 1 1.1 43 women auil girls
in this country. About ">5 i>er cent, or
over lived In the rural dis
tricts. Mr. Hamilton says i lint to reach
tliis great multitude with even limited
educational facilities for the study of
domestic science and household art
will require. as .Mr. Hamilton views It,
a radical change in the methods here
tofore pursued. The introduction of
the study of domestic science and
household art into the rural schools,
the high schools and the normal
schools is only a part of the work that
will be required.
"Winter schools for adult women
will have to l>e organized," says Mr.
Hamilton. "Movable schools in large
numbers will have to be sent out; sult
ubie demonstration schemes will ueed
to be devised; expert advisers to visit
countrywomen will have to be em
ployed, and publications adapted to
the capacity and needs of rural house
wives will have to be Introduced into
their homes."
Institutes For Women.
Farmers' ? Institutes heretofore have )
been largely conducted for men. If ,
women attended, they have had to con- '
Mder the same subjects as the men, as
a rule. But now the movement for
distinct farmers' Institutes for women
is rapidly grow lug. and It Is considered
by the department the best ageucy at
present to Increase the countrywom
an's knowledge of domestic science.
Last year "32 meetings for country
women "were held by the "farmers' In
stitute directors in the several states.
The work In such Institutes is far from
perfect, but It is In the right direction.
As lu the case of many other things,
other more progressive nations lu such
matters are far ahead of the United
States, though the American finds it
hard to realize It. Austria. Belgium,
Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Switzer
land. France and the German states
have for many years been conducting
schools of domestic scieuce and home
economics specially adapted to coun
try people and also courses of study in
these subjects in fixed institutions In
towns and cities.
Worked Eleven Years For $10.
II. Buckley of Spokane and Fred So
denberg of Seattle have reached Port
Townseud after prospecting eleven
years for gold in the interior of Alaska
without seeing civilization. A small
pack of furs and a spoonful of nuggets
worth $10 are all they have for their
eleven years' work.
Pastors to Select Jurymen.
To Improve the class of Jurymen the
court at Wilkesbarre. Pa., has asked
clergymen of the county to send In
lists of men they recommend. The
pastors *vlll send lu names picked from
their congregation and expect to elim
inate j>olltics from juries.
Hawk and Weasel In Death Duel.

OLD IN ADRIFT ON OPEN SEA
After floating 300 miles alone In u
small dory, George Pederson, aged 72
years, was picked up by the Japanese
f'shlng schooner Hoko Maru, nearly
starved and entirely helpless.
Pederson started In the dory from
band Point June 4 to go to his homo
on Sanak Island, 150 miles west of
this port on the third day out a
heavy gale blew up, followed by a
thick fog, and Pederson lost his bear
ings entirely having no compass. His
little boat drifted westward with tho
currents 200 miles boyond Sanak
Island before he was rescued by the ]
Japanese. His small stock of provi
sions, supplemented by the fish he
caught, was exhausted when he was
picked up, and he had been out of
fresh water several days.
The Japanese took the old man
aboard their schooner and kept him
until his strength was restored, when
they Lowed him within a few miles of
his home. He came to Sand Point
again today, nnd told his story. He
is profuse in his gratitude to the
Japanese, who showed him all pos
sible kindness, particularly Captain
S. Ono. ? Valdez Prospector.
ALSO III TIE TRANSFER BUSINESS
Angus McKay of the Cordova Trans
fer Company was held up the night
the lights were off by two men and
$19 in money and a bunch of keys
were secured.
A short time before the holdup
Mr. McKay had deposited several
hundred dollars for safe keeping
w"h a friend. He was walking alonp
an alley when suddenly seized by I
two men. One of them secured ;i
strangle hold around his neck and
the companion went through his
pockets.
Mr. McKay says he does not care
about the loss of the money, but he
would take it very kindly if anyone
finding the keys would return them
to him He did not report the oc
currence to the officers. He says
he has seen a man since who he
thinks is one of the men who held
him up.
Deputy Brightwell last evening
stated that he had heard of a num
ber of petty robberies indirectly, but
none of the victims had complained
to him. He said that if people los
ing valuables or getting robbed would
report the circumstances there might
be a better show of apprehending the
guilty ones. ? Cordova iNorth Star.

DAM6E TO CEIURS
The water in the river at this
place backed up to such an extent
just before the advent of the cold
wave as to put several cellars in

ed and it was necessary to abandon
them and erect stoves to keep the
buildings warm. The cellar under
