I "I am sorry for the present pol
icy in Alaska," said Mr. Kearns.
j'TIi » prospector should be able lo
|go into that country and he should
also receive the fruits of his la
bor. I do not believe that "ML
shou'd be conserved for flilurc
pei ; at ions. Thai, has been the
policy since the days of our fore
father*. It should now be openej
up and its resources developed,
and the man with the nerve and
ambition lo go info Dial country
should receive the benefits of
those wonderful resources. If the
present policy is adhered to, it
will depopulate Hie territory. Our
policy has lied the hands of
Americans and is encouraging lh.»
development of British Columbia
and enriching her citizens."
All members <>f the parly were
greatly impressed with the won
ders of Alaska.
Great 8ummer Trip.
4*II is a great summer I rip and
the mosl wonderful salt water
trip in the world," said Mr.Kearns.
"I bav traveled all over Europe,
but they have nothing that will
compare with if. The people of
Ihe Unit d States do not realize
what a wonderful trip this is, but
when I hey do it will become Ihe
summer resort trip of Ihe world.
It. first occurred to me that some
thing was wrong with our policy
up there on Hie trip up when I
found that ships were guided ov
er Ihe danger spots «»f British Co
lumbia by lighthouses, while Ihe
American channels were in dark
ness. In my opinion this govern

ward Alaska and encourage capi

Electricity for the Poor Man
Tln-re seems In be a I inn- in lie development of everything n«w
when it apparently is iiiteudedfor tin* rich alone. Before printing
became perfected and books as c heap as tliey are now a library
containing a score of volumeswas considered to bo a tiling that
could not enter into the calculations of one in the middle vlass.
In later timet I lie automobile has developed from a luxury to a
commercial necessity, says Electric (lily Magazine.
It is a great mistake to imagine that because one is poor and
inn*! economize one cannot ha\<* electricity; in fart, the poorer
one is the worse lie needs it. The electric iron, I lie washing
machine driven by an electric motor, a sewing machine which
need only be attended in so faras it is necessary to direct the
course of the seam, and a dozen convenient cooking devices are
available for thousands toijaywho hesitate, to think them within
theip means. The woman who wa>hcs with an electric machine
can direct her energies elsewhere while the work is being done.
Her strength is saven for something morj than hard mechanical
labor. She who does her ironing with an electric iron avoids the
discomfort of bending over a hot stove. Her iron is always hot
so thai she can turn out her work to much advantage. Aside
from first coh| these electric appliances and utensils for the home
are the truest sources of noniy.
It should be remembered (ha every electrical appliance that is
ii«<ed saves just so much dirt, labor and inconvenience. Excessive
housework and nerve exhausting home ^i-wing by old mehtods arc
costly, as ill health always i* their accompaniment.
In the modern linking up ofsinall electric service enterprises
into larger and more compact ystenis i* seen one of I lie factors
which tends to reduce costs, and therefore the price to the con
sumer. The other factor which helps toward the same end is the
general increase in the u«e of electric service throughout the
whole day. due to its more universal use in the home and in the
business world.
