BIG POWER
Says Muscle Shoals, in
Comparison1; Nothing
But Plugged Quarter.
Seattle, Aug. 4.—“Alaska has
pow&r so much of it—that it
makfes Muscle Shoals look like a
plugged quarter,” commented
Francis H. Sisson, of the Guar
anty Trust Company, of New
York, upon his return from the
North. He is much impressed
with the pulpwood and power
possibilities of the Territory.
Better rail and ship transporta
tion is the big requisite to give
Alaska development, Sisson said.
Souls Refuse to Be Saved.
Moved bv the desire to belt) Deedy
*nd worthy prisoners. William Pigott,
a Seattle philanthropic manufacturer,
put up 8500 a few months ago to a'd
the down and out. Tbs money was- to
be loaned only on the security©' human
nature, a promise to pay within thirty
days, and its disbursement was-entirely
in the hands of Justice of the Peace C
V. Dalton.
Prisoners broueht before the judge
were advanced sums ranging from 82
to 820. The $500 was ia due course
drawn on heavily, bat only one loan,
for has been repaid; Two other
debtors came Hack and asked for more
time, but a!!'*/ thti« Others vanished
quietly. The judge and the philan
thropist, soinewbat inore cynical, have

suspended disbursements, at least
temporarily.
The advances were confined to pris
oners released by the court or dis
charged after serving terms id the
county jail.
“I wouldn’t have belie'/ed it,” said
Judge Dalton recently. “It looked
like a fine idea, helping the lowly, re
trieving lost souls rnd ah that sort of
thing. But, hang it ail, the souls won’t
be saved, and so we’re goiog to save
what is left of the bank.’’—Ex.

The famous criminal lawyer had tiron
a shockingly bad case by eloquenoe and
trickery, and a rival lawyer said to
him, bitterly:
“Is there any case so low, so foul, so
vilely crooked and shameful that you’d
refuse it?”
“Well, I don’t know,” the other an-*
sw.ered with a smile. “What have you
been doing now?”—Northern Daily
Mail.
