“I GO WHERE DUTY CALLS ME"
The Hyder Wireless Bulletin re*
cently contained the following:
Washington—Special Army I
Board reported yesterday that j
Lieut. Col. Paul W. Beck, shot j
to death at Oklahoma City last
April by Judge Day when found
with latter's wife, met his death
in lino of duty and was not
guilty of any wilful miscon
duct.
We leatn something new every
day. This is the first intimatioh
we ever had that it is a part of an
army offieer’s duty to trifle with
other men’s Wives. Now the ques
tion arises: if the officer died in the
performance of his duty, will any
aetion be taken against the man
who killed him? The wHtten law
says yet, but the unwritten law
says ha And the Unwritten law
will prevail.
SOME MACHINE, WE LL SAY
The Miner owns the only tame
Empire typewriter in the Portland
Canal district, add like a good dog,
it is a one-man beast. A friend
dropped in the other day to write
a letter on this contraption. He is
a ..touch system" expert, and after
inserting a sheet of paper he closed
his eyes and started in, dingity
ding ding ding. Following Is the
resultant product, up to the time
he called it a shift:

HOUSEHOLD HINT
There may be as much nourish
ment in a pint of peanuts as in two
pounds of beefsteak, but there is
no gravy, nor feed for the dog, nor
hash next day.
NOT NOW
There’s nary a slip
'Twiat cup and lip.
October promises to be an epoch
making month. The B. C. legisla
ture meets and in all probability
will substitute the license system
for the moderation act, and George
Parks is expected here to allot the
lots in the forest reserve tewnsite.
The settlement of the anthracite |
coal strike will loosen up seme
more money for metal mines de
velopment.
The only wild animal is man.
He is the only animal that all
other animals fear> 1
Ijon’t swat the fly. Hp will
ptoak pretty soon anyway.
No la$ nor proclamation ever
popld or ever wi}l defeat common
senpe or public opinion. This is
an axiom that might well be post
ed in Alaska's seat of government.
The Hydes Alaska Miner, inde
pendent in polities, has at times
referred to the present administra
tion as the "Hot Air Administra
tion." Now comes Engineering and
Mining Journal-Press, the greatest
publication of its kind in the world,
and calls tha present government
j "Government by Noiae." Which
shows that Alaska is not the only
section of the United States that
has a kick coming.
