HOW==
TO TELL ENUltAVED EUOX1
OFFSET KIND OF ['HINT.—
Although the difference is great he
tween offset printing and engrav
ing as regards stamps, to tne be
ginner it is often a baffling prob
lem. But when he Is shown, it is
such a simple matter that the neo
phyte wonders, ns thousands of oth
ers have before him, how it escaped
him.
Perhaps the answer lies in the
fact that only three values of Unit
ed States stamps were produced by
offset printing and exactly the same
design was used for the same val
ues that had been engraved. Only
the one, two and three cent values
were so produced, says a writer in
the Detroit News.
The processes of manufacture
are so dissimilar that anyone at nil
familiar with the different methods
of stamp production will have no
difficulty in telling engraved stamps
from those of the offset printings.
The effect of the latter Is very like
lithography—that is. the stamps
have an absolutely tlat appearance,
even when examined under a mag
nifying glass, while in the engraved
stamps of similar design all the
major lines appear as ridges above
the surface of the paper even with
small magnification.
The two processes of printing
are as unlike as their products. In
the case of the engraved stamp the
impression Is applied directly to
the paper and often produces an
embossed effect. In the offset proc
ess tlie design Is transferred from
a plate or stone to a rubber roller,
whence it Is applied to the paper.
The result is entirely without the
embossed effects of engraving.
How Name “Canada” Was
Given to That Country
Footprints of past generations are
revealed in a country's place-names.
In Canada, ns in every land, it has al
ways been t ho custom to honor great
men or outstanding events by placing
their names on the map. To have a
fair knowledge of the meaning of our
place-names is to understand the
foundations of Canadian history, says
the Montreal Herald.
Tiie name “Canada” takes us away
back to Cartier's day. It was In 1,135
when on his second voyage of explora
tion, that his Indian guide kept repeat
ing the word “Canadian” wherever
there was a collection of native huts.
The word Is believed to be derived
from the Iroquois “Kanata" meaning
a lodge or a cabin.
Ottawa Is also an Indian name—the
name of a tribe—thought to have come
from "ndawe.” to trade. The men be
longing to the tribe known as “the Ot
tawas" were good hunters, and they
brought their pelts, by way of the Ot
tawa river, down to the fur traders on
the St. Lawrence, before the city of
Ottawa was chosen for Canada's cap
ital it was called llytown. having been
named in honor of Colonel By, the
engineer of the Itideau canal. The
name was changed shortly before the
confederation of the Dominion prov
inces.
How to Stake a Claim
When a claim has been located, usu
ally a monument of stones or logs,
stakes, etc., is built in tiie center of
the claim, in which is placed a tin can
or other suitable receptacle containing
a written declaration of claim to
that particular tract, described as so
many feet each direction (depending
upon the number of acres allowed for
a claim in that particular locality, the
size of claims being different in dif
ferent states or territories). The tin
can or receptacle Is turned upside
down in order to protect the written
declaration from tiie weather. The
claim Is then tiled with the nearest
recorder or recorder of the county
tn which the claim is located, as soon
as .possible, especially where others
may know of the claim or locality. A
full description as to location should
he tiled with tiie recorder.—Wash
ington Star.
How Fint Chinese Got Over
From the forcibly opened ports of
China, slavers took coolies to Bern. In
1810 about 20 of these escaped and by
various pretexts and means obtained
passage on a vessel bound for Califor
nia in the early gold dust days. These
particular Chinamen later returned to
ttielr own cmintrv hut tii«.

FURTHER ACTION
ON REMONETIZATION
(Continued from Page 1)
“In view lof the fact that a
measure is already on the Sen

the silver question, the commit
tee believes an effort should
be made for its early consider
ation,’’ Senator King said.
Meanwhile a call for all mem.
berg of Congress to attend a
1 monetary conference April 23,
1 was issued by Senator Thomas
of Utah, a leading member of
the silver bloc.
i Thlomas said the new move
i for additional changes in the
| nation’s money was not to fight
; the President but to get some
thing constructive in the way
! of legislation.
The silver bills n'ow pending
are the Dies bill, providing for
acceptance of silver in ex
! change for agricultural cora
! modifies exported to foreign
countries, and the Feisinger
I bill calling for the purchase of
1 1,500,000 ounces of silver, or
as much more as may be nec
I essary t'O' restore the 1926
1 price level, with currency is^
sued against the silver so ac
quired.
The Dies measure has passed
the H'ouse and gone to the Sen
ate. The Feisinger bill has
been reported favorably by a
House committee.
Washington reports also in
; dicate a probability that the
I remonetization issue may ap
pear as a leading campaign is
sue if the President continues
his attitude of opposition to
silver legislation.

the respiration, and this vibration is
strong enough to make the whole

is usually the means by which these
felines show contentment.

MRS. JENNE A
REAL PIONEER
Chrystal Snow Jenne, tne
only woman candidate for leg
islative honors in the forthcom
ing primary election, is a real
pioneer of Alaska, having come
to the country from California
with her parents in 1887, ar
riving at Juneau.
Later, in 1894, three years
before the famous Klondike
gold rush, she crossed the
Chilkoot Pass on foot with her
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. T.
Snow, and spent four real pio
neer years in the Yukon valley.
She was educated in the
Alaska schools and was the
lonly member of the second
class to graduate in an Alaska
high school. Later, she taugiit
in the public schools for several
years. She was teaching in
the Juneau school, from which
she had graduated, when she
became the bride of Dr. Jenne,
well-known Juneau dentist.
She is the mother of three
Alaska-born children who are
being raised in the Territory
and educated in her old home
schtool.
She has always been a Demo
crat, even when, as she states,
“they were hard to find,” and
during the present administra
tion has been serving as secret
ary of the Democratic division
al committee. She was also a
delegate to the Divisional Con
vention and served on the Plat
form Committee.
Mrs. Jenne has traveled hi
nearly every section of the Ter
ritory and is well acquainted
with its industries, having
gitown up with them, and
should be well qualified to
form judgments on matters
pertaining to them. Her life
is an open book and in filing
for the Democratic nomination
for Representative, she is utter
ing to the First Division her
best efforts, backed by a repu
tation for honesty, sobriety,
ability and fearlessness.
Alaska Has Had 12 Governors
Questions frequently raised
are the number of governors
Alaska has had since the Ter
ritory was transferred from
Russia to the United States and
who they were. These were
answered recently by the
Ketchikan Chronicle as fol
lows :
John W. Troy is the twelfth
governor of Alaska. His pre
decessors started serving their
terms as governor on the fol
lowing dates: John H. Kink
ead, July 4, 1884; Alfred P.
Swineford, May 7, 1885; Ly
man E. Knapp, April 12, 1889;
James Sheakley, June 28,
1893; John G. Brady, June 23,
1897; Wilford B. Hoggatt,Mch.
