Season Closing
Alaska Komi Commission Crews
Arc Disbanding— Local I'ro
jprt Is Xearinj;.Knil
Completing this season's exten
tion on the Mendenhall Ulver end
of Glacier Highway this week, the
Alaska ltoail Commission has closed
its construction work in this vicinity
for the present year, according 10 a
statement made today by Captain C.
S. Ward, in charge of affairs during
the absence of Colonel J. (;. Steese.
on his Nome trip. The route, said
Captain Ward, has been completed
up to the bridge site where a sus
pension bridge will be erected early
next spring across .Mendenhall river.
Grading of the loop around Auk
Lake and across the ridge down into
Montana creek, done by the Bureau
of I'ubllr Koads and the Territorial
Unreal! of Koads in conjunction, is
completed. Gravel work and bridg
ing is now being done on that sec
tion of the road. Approximately
300 yards of grading remains to he
done on the north bank of Mendeii
hall river by the Alaska Uoad Com
mission. This will lie done alter
the bridge is put in next year. Ii r;
expected that the loop will hp com
pleted around Auk Lake and open
to trullir early next summer.
The Alaska Road Commission's
work in the Haines d.strict has al
so heen completed and the crew dis
banded for the season, according to
Captain Ward, (eighteen men nnd- r
Foreman Joe McKenzle started the
season and was increased to 34 he
fore the end This crew's lirst work
was constructing one-half mile of
new road leading up to the new
bridge across the Chiikat river nc.ir
Wells. Following that a Sou-foot
pile approach to the bridge was con
structed and a temporary road limit
from the bridge to Fish Point on
the north bunk of the Klehina. It
was then transferred to the Mud
Hay-Haines road, which it ha: just
completed. This route is now open
for vehicular traffic between Hait.es
and Mud Bay.
At Wrange!I the commission !::is
just completed a road leadinu from
the town to the Standard Oil dock.

road was very difllt tilt of • instruc

I ENGINE OF PUBLIC SEPVICE
Newspaper Today Not, at of Old, the
Mouthpiece of Any Individual
or Party.
I Not so ninny years ago a newspa
per was a printing press surrounded
by a group of Individuals chiefly con
, cerned in setting their own private
theories or doctrines before tliclr
| readers.
Today the uewspaper Is an engine
| of public service. Its success flnan
| daily and morally is measured by
the degree In which it supports not
| a party hut the people.
| Those today who have a Twentieth
century Ideal of achievement separate
the newspaper from the Individual and
j make it tirst and foremost an organ
of public service built by the people
j for the people. The Journal which
most nearly fulfills its highest pur
pose is that which is ludlstlngulsh
> able in policy from the natural trend
■.if progress and murch of liberty and
| free thought.
Political prizes were the alms of
| the old-time editor. Ills policies were
! based on his own party interests and
1 he discussed every public question
' with a ferocity and partisanship pro
portionate to the reward he expected
to get out of It.
The establishment of an Institution,
a living thing, which represents the
public interest and nothing else—that
should be the Ideal of the editor.
It is this Ideal which has made
ne\vs|in|M*rmen a priesthood and has
separated them—some of them—front
politics. For this age is not a ma
terialistic nge—in spite of opinion to
the contrary.—Vancouver Sun.
MEANT "DIVISION WITH KING"
"Royalties" In Old Day* Signified
Something Altogether Different
From Meaning Today.
Iteclpieiils ,.f royalties from books,
patents, mines or any otlier tiling may
I'liiim kiu with kings, etymologlcally
shaking, at least, for a royalty rep
resented originally the king's portion
»f the profits of a venture.
Tlie word entered England from
France. and was sometimes called a
"soignonigo." The king of England
at the time was the actual possessor
of all land in the domain, as he is
■ •lily nominally today. All mines
that were worked, all lunds that were
tilled, directly or Indirectly paid trib
ute to him. He possessed a similar
power, though less clearly understood,
over printing and inventions.
The payment of a royalty to an
author. Inventor or other persons to
• I > is recognition of the ownership of
the recipient to the basic right in the
thins worked or produced. The pub
lisher. manufacturer or operator may
lime, and usually does have, the heavi
est investment, but the man who gets
the royalty is the man who holds pos
ses? u iu fee simple, subject to what
contracts ho may make with those
associated with him In the develop
ment or distribution of his property.

For a moment he withdrew his gaze
from the dazzling depths of her eyes
to the dmmoiid studded shirt front of

"Is that Mars?" he whispered, as
lie slipped his arm around her small,
slim waist, and gazed upon a glitter

"No. it isn't." she exclaimed an
grily, jerking herself free of his em
brace. "It's mine, and If you can't
tell the difference between my waist
and mother's after you've been court

Her voice broke, and her head fell

"We had better part I"
It is pleasing to report that the mat
ter was amicably adjusted before any
thing more serious resulted.—Edin

Unearthly Music.
Of Coleridge and "Kubla Klinn" the
following strange story Is told. The
jmet had fallen asleep la his chair
after reading the following lines In
l'nrrhas's "l'llgrlmage": "Here the
Kliau Kubla commanded a palace to
lie built and a stately garden there
unto ; and thus ten miles of fertile
ground were inclosed with a wall."
"In my sleep," he said, "I dreamed
two hundred lines of beautiful poetry.
The linages rose up before me with
out any sensation or consciousness on
my part. When I awoke the lines
were vivid in my memory, and I be
gan to write them."
As ill-luck would have It, however,
a friend called to see him before he
had completed hts task; and when, an
hour later, he sat down to continue
his work his memory was a blank,
llis wonderful dream-poem was thus
lost to the world.
Solve Commuting Problem,
Residents of Kalabagh, on the In

problem of commuting between their
homes and the valley, three uilles up
stream, where they till a very fertile
soil. The village is in a desert, ex
cept for this small valley.
In the morning the villagers walk
to the valley, but In the evening they
inflate goatskin bags which each man
carries, and wade out into the swift
stream of the river. This carries them
rapidly down stream, and steering
w'th their hands they can reach the
