The Goat Hunt
A preacher, a hanker and the
banker's wife, all inexperienced In
luring the mountain goat from his
high hiding place, started out to
bring him in. Two miles of brush
and crags, with heavy packs make
camp and rest imperative. They
clituh the mighty glacier sides,
peer down in chasms of ice that
send a shiver down one's spine, hut
wonder at tlu< mighty works of llim
who rules the world, hut do not
sight a goat.
After a pleasant evening spent in
their new made camp, with the lat
est copy of "Ufa" and the "Ore
gonian" with, two comic supple
ments. they sleep the restless sleep
of tired hunters. Morning finds
them awake at dawn making break
fast of egg< ami baron, coffee, bread
oatmeal and fruit, ufter which tl:ev
start for another mountain pass
where they hope to have better luck.
They climb the rocky bed of the gla
cier stream, thev push their way
thru willows and wade thru bogs of
mire and over rocks and mounds un
til they cross ths stream to find
awaiting them a well made trail.
Noon finds them about four miles
from cjjmp. weary j.nd ready to rest
and eat the sumptuous luurh they
brought along. With glasses scan
ning Jhe mountains they behold sev
en goat comfits down the mountain
side in their direction. With bated
breath and Iteming hearts they wait
and wall !', ye.-' it.deed, they are
coming down so the poor hunters
will not have to i-limb so high. Con
siderate go:!!?.; were there ever any
like these? Tile hardy hunters de
spising the trimmed out boundary
line plunge into the thick forest and
with hand and ft.ot climb to the

Coincident with the recent opening

of the sign painter's art. bearing the
following phrases:
"All the beans you rnn eat for fif

"All the spaghetti V'<>. want for

"All the coffee you can drink for

"It.s hell to be broke if you're

"People ask how we do it. The
answer is: We do."
The proprietor de.'hirej the res

such good walking novertisements
that it is a joy to see e'ni eat."
Fort Seward Gets
Electric Plant
Fort William H. Seward is to have
electric lights. A one unit plant has
been shipped to the fort and Is now
in process of erection near the wharf
Application was made for a two unit
plant at the fort but a single unit
was all that was sent. This will
Virely give enough power for the
fort and will not make possible the
lighting of the town of Haines. This
was one of the hopes of the people
of Haiti"*. It may be that later on
a second unit will be added. It is
hoped so. This machine will use
gasoline for power and not he a wa
ter plant as was expected.

IF FARMER HAD
TO PAY HIS WIFE
He Would Go Broke. Declares
Nebraska University Expert,
Summarizing Survey.
WOULD COST S4,000 II YEAR
Farm Wife Is Cook, Washerwoman,
Seamstress, Charwoman and, on Oc
casion, a Nurse—Also She Is
Assistant Farm Director.
Oiuttlia.—If Nebraska fanners had
to pa.v their wives "living" wages for
their work most of them would have
to go out of business, aceordlug to
figures made public by the home eco
nomics department of the Nebraska
Slate university. According to these
ligures every farm wife earns $4,000 a
year. And inasmuch as most of the
farmers are not making that over and
above expenses, the farmers would "go
broke" If they had to pay their wives
what they would have to pay others
for the same service.
The farm wife is a cook, a washer
woman. h seamstress, a charwoman,
a nurse, an assistant farm director,
and a whole lot of other things. And
she is nil expert In each of these. The
home economics d<>|uirtnieni. In mak
ing up its survey, took all these occu
pations into consideration. In estimat
ing the value of their wives' service.
If Outside Help Were Hired.
"If a farm woman's time was con
sidered and she was paid on tbe basis
of the hired help she saves her hus
band from employing, she would re
ceive a salary of $4,000 a year," says
.Miss Margaret Kedile. chairman of the
department which made the survey.
First. all the cooking falls upon the
housewife. She prepares three meals
a day. She has no afternoon "out."
Service of that kind Is worth at
least $10 a week," says Miss Kedde.
Next, the farm wife does the wash
ing and ironing. Very few farmers
have washing machines. It takes the
farm wife all day long to do the wash
ing. Another full day is required to
■ In the ironing.
"The regular wages ui a munu. <
in the country are $2.50 per day." say*
Miss Fedde. "For the washing and
ironing, therefore, slie should be cred
ited with $." per week."
A recent health survey of farms and
fanner* shows there is an average of
IP days of sickness each year on each
farm. And when there is sickness the
wife turns to nursing. So, for IP days
each year the farm wife is a nurse.
"The wages of a trained nurse on
the farm are S2S per week," says Miss
Kedde. "On this score the farm wife
gets in nearly $75 per year in wages
as a nurse."
When Mrs, Farmer does the family
sewing—and she does all the sowing
that Is done on the farm—she should
be credited with the wages of a seam
stress. Credit .Mrs. Furtner $6 per
week as a sewing lady.
More of Her Duties.
The wages of a woman to do clean
ing, scrubbing, etc.. are $2.50 per day.
For two days each week the farmer's
wife does tills kind of work. Uer pay
check, according to the home econom
ics department's survey should be
increased by $5 per week for that.
Taking care of the butter and the
cream and the eggs requires some
hiiiirs every day. And during the berry
- nson and the fruit season the wife
Hurts long hours over the preserving
k< ttle. This kind of work is wortli
■«;> per day and the credit should go
to Mrs. Farmer. And in the fall, dur
ing, "hog killing time." the farmer's
wife acts as expert meat packer and
should he credited with $5 per day
for that lubor.
As a "farm assistant" the farmer's
wife is called upon every hour of the
day to give advice. The rate of pay
>f farm assistants In Nebraska Is $20
ier week. So the farmer's wife should
he credited with $20 per week on that
score.
Then there nre the thousands and
one tilings which do not come under
any of these heads, but which would
command big pay If the farmer had to
to out and employ some one to do
them. All these should be credited to
the wife of the farmer.
"Total all these charges and It will
be found that the Nebraska farm wife
earns at least $4,000 every year, with
her board and room thrown In." says
the bulletin.
