Anchorage, July 2—Albert Pearc°,
au employ* of the government, was
drowned a* Eagle river June 27th.
Pearce departed from here on the
26th. enrout« to Eagle river, to ac
cept bmployment on a railway job
there. He was last seen on board
a scow that had been used in con
veying supplies for the work there.
A bundle containing a roll of blan
kets and clothing, belonging to
Pearce, and also his coat were
found on the scoyr. The pike pole
was missing. It is supposed that
Pearce, in navigating the scow with
th§ pike pole up the fiver, lost his
balance and fell overboard. His
remains have not been found, al
though search has been instituted.
Pearce was well known in Se
ward, Cordova and Katalla, where
he formerly resided. He came here

was generally known as "Slivers" by
Ills Intimates. He leaves a wife

KAKE IS BECOMING

Kake Is becoming a center for

and there is other land available for
lo'.at'on there and nearby.
Capt. Peter Madsen, who sails the
S. A. Hegg to Kake every Monday,
says that place is one of the chosen
spoto of Alaska. "Not only can
they raise everything in the way
of vegetables and grasses there, as
well as they can anjnffhere, but
they have the finest fishing and
hunting that I know about. Bear,

Bv ARTHUR W. DUNN.
Washington, July 5—(Special) —
When war with Spain was imminent
congress voted $50,000,000, which was
placed In the hands of President Mc
Klnley for national defense. This was
done because congress knew that we
were not in the least prepared for war;
that there was neither guns, ammuni
tion, equipment nor provision to sup
ply the new troops which would be re
quired. Tet the country plunged in
headlong, as if a million men might be
equipped with 6quirrel rifles and de
feat so decrepit a nation as was Spain.
Now, when war la threatened with
a greater po\*er, a power equipped for
war, we hear people talking about ex
pending a thousand millions for na
1 tlonal defense. But during the last
few years every person who has talked
about better defense arrangements has
been ridiculed. And many are still
■ubject to the same attack, the talk of
necessity for arming being met with
the statement that the nation is not
going to war, and if attacked it can
defend itself.
There la a constant strife between
the jingoes and the peace people. They
are all the time putting forth their
views on one side or tho other of this
question of war preparation. Most of
the peace people have a good argument
In saying that If wo mind our own
business we will not get Into war. Tho
other fellows say that certain foreign
ere will not let us mind our own bus!
ness, and there we are. The discus
slon begins all over again with decla
rations that war preparations are vita
and with assertions that war will no
come and that such preparations only
aggravate the war spirit
Wilton'* Typewriting.
President Wilson likes to put the
finishing touches upon a state paper
by writing It out on a typewriter. lie
la Just as good with tho machine as he
is with n pen In tlio nicety of the copy
he makes. There Is little to be said In
tho way of Buggostton, and his work
would compare favorably with the
most expert manipulators of tlie letter
ed keyboard. The words are spaced
well, tho punctuation all that could bo
desired and the alignment Just per
fect enough anil with enough Imperfec
tions to show that it is not a printed
page.
What Would Happen Now?
People never could really understand
why the whisky and beer cases which
made I»r. Wiley somewhat famous
came before the agricultural depart
ment It was because they were un
der the pure food law, and that law
was administered by the department
of agriculture. But whisky and beer—
that is, the best of these liquors—come
from agricultural products and to that
extent belong In the department This
fact inspired an employee of the bu
reau to show what could be done with
agricultural products that had been
turned into liquors. A bulletin was
issued showing how all kinds of mixed
drinks were made. It was popular at
the time, aud many a bartender pro
cured a copy. But it was never re
printed when the supply became ex
hausted. Tho temperance people at
tended to that. What would happen
if such a bulletin were issued now no
ono could tell. But it would certainly
raise a furore among the prohibition
ists.
Travelers and Baggage.
Every person who has traveled In
Europe knows what a great trouble It
la to look after baggage. All European
travelers In this country marveled at
the simplicity of our baggage arrangie
ments, and our own people were per
fectly satisfied. Then suddenly, as
from a clear sky, comes a change of
the entire system, making trouble and
creating general dissatisfaction. Curi
ously enough, this was by a law pass
ed by congress, and no one ever heard
of It or heard of the necessity for it
On Uneasy Street.
Mr. Bryan while secretary of state
was able to have iiuite a number of his
friends and followers given good places
In the government service. Now the
powers which uppolnt can remove and
replace, and the men who were fortu
nate In being friends of Bryan and
landing these places are wondering
whether the "tall goes with the hide"
and they may have to follow Bryan
into private life.
An Organized Industry.
"Office seeking and office holding has
become an organized industry," re
marked Senator Thomas of Colorado,
"and it is of constantly growing di
mensions."
"The senator from Colorado Is one of
them," remarked Senator Myers of
Moutana, who was at that time in op
position to the Colorado senator, re
ferring to the fact that Thomas had
for a long time been a candidate for
various offices in Colorado.

"What," asked the boy of Smith Ap
person. pater, "shall I speak nest

"Why not recite Richard III. to his
troops at Bosworth field?' Apperson
answered confidently. "There's a piece
with lots of slam and go to It. Or
tiiere Is 'Spartacns to the Gladiators.'"
"Who was he, Spartacns?"
"Don't you know who Spnrtncus
was? Look in your Fifth reader. It
tells all about him there."
"Not in my reader," insisted the boy.
"Not In"— Mr. Apperson looked
stumped, but he pulled himself togeth
er. "How about 'Freedom Shrieked
When Kosciusko Fell ?'" he asked.
"Got that in your reader?"
"No, sir."
"And 'My Name Is Norval on the
Grampian Hills?"'
"The Grampians are in Scotland, I
believe, but who was Norval ond why
the limitation to his name?" the boy
asked.
"Hum! And that 'Midnight in His
Guarded Tent' when 'the Turk Lay
Dreaming of the Hour.'. Got that in
your reader?"
"No, sir."
"What kind of reader have you got?"
Smith Apperson demanded. "Once
more. Does the 'Deep and Dark Blue
Ocean' roll oh through any of the pages
of that expurgated edition they've
palmed off on you for a reader?"
"Well, there Is something about the
ocean."
"Good; 'we've saved the ocean. How
about 'I Give My Hand With My Heart
In It?"'
"Pshaw! Everybody knows that
piece."

i Its pages to 'Strike for Your Altars and
Your Fires?' 1
I "No, sir."
[ "My mistake," Smith Apperson ex
l claimed. "I asked you about that piece
before. It's a great one too. I used
to get It off regularly twice a term,
and when I didn't do it some other
boy did. Never a piece day camo
round but some one struck out for bis
altars and bis fires. I'll get you a
copy of the kind of reader I nsed to
have."
Mr. Apperson went the next day Into
a downtown book store, known to him
as a place where, if they did not have
a book, they would get It for you If It
was to be had.
"I want a copy of McGuffey's old
Fifth reader," said ha
"So do I," replied the owner of the
store, who knew Apperson welL "I'll
buy a gross of them at a good price.
Scarcely a week goes by that I do not
have a call for that book or for some
other old school book."
"How"— asked Mr. Apperson, "how
do you account for it?*r
"Well, it's this way," said the pro
prietor, "A father asks hia boy some
thing about what he hlmaelf bad stud
ied at school, thinking, probably, to
test him. The boy fails to give the
correct answer or says he never took*
it in his grade. The father looks into
the boy's book or books and ftnda, as
perhaps in your case, that the stories
in which he delighted are not Includ
ed in the reader editions of today.
Then he comes here to get a school
book that is what be calls a real school
book. ,
"For Instance, only a few days ago
a man came in for an old geography.
He said the book his boy studied wm
absolutely of no account, historically at
least.
" 'What do you mean, history In a
geography?'" I asked. ■- ••.
" 'Why,' he replied, 'I asked my boy
about the Isthmus of Darien, and he
had never heard of such a place; didn't
know there had ever been anything of
the sort. Of course he could and did
tell me all about the Isthmus of Pana
ma, but Darien wasn't in hla geogra
phy. Now, I want that boy to know
there was an Isthmus of Darien, and I
don't want him to have to take his
father's word for it Give me an old
geography, one of about thirty-five
years ago.'
"I couldn't All the order. Old school
books are rare. Everybody wants them,
some to renew memories of their youth
by reading over the old pieces, others
because they want to show to their
children what they had to go through
when they themselves went to school.
"Webster's Speller, Sander's Header
and McGuffey's Reader are the partic
ular books which seem to stay In the
memories of the old boy and the old
girl. But I can't Bell them because I
haven't got them."
"Then I reckon 111 have to give
young Harry Smith Apperson my best
information and belief, as lawyers say,
about how 'Freedom shrieked when
Kosciusko fell,' and so forth."
