The real life is aboard ship. One soon finds- why they say every thing Is "a .ip shape' when it Is Im ' maculately neat; always the sailors are washing the decks, polishing the brass work, j ainllng the Iron work black, the deck rails and woodwork white, or oiling and polishing the na tural finished wood. Must Be Handy. I asked the captain what the duties of a sailor were. "Well, a good sailor must be a skilled mechanic of great ability," the captain responded. "He must b a good painter, lie must be able with few tools to do good car penter work. He must be handy with a needle and canvas, lie must be able to handle the work of the ship and he must cheerfully do anything asked of him. no matter how impossible It may seem." However, we don't always get good sailors. You soon learn to ask, "How niany fathoms; not how many feet leep Is tho channel?' Aboard Bhlp you never hear the ex pression, "How many miles are we going an hour?" Instead you will hear, "She Is making about 11 knots." How do you ktiow how long a knot Is? That's eay. The earth's circum ference is ditided Into 360 degrees. Kach degrpe contains 60 knots. The circumference of tho earth contains 21,00 knots. It Is 131,385,456 feet around the rth. If you don't believe It count the number for yourself and sec. The number of feet around the earth divided by 21.600 knots gives 8,082.66 feet, which Is the length of a kr.ot. One hundred knots Is equal to slightly more than 115 miles. You soon learn that breakfast in at seven bells or half-past seven,' lunch nt eight bells or noon, and supper at four bells, or six o'clock. V Time ia .not divided at sea Jit la on land.

Juneau Is at the head of Saftlnenux channel, and Is the cap ital of Alaska. Prior to October 1. . 1'jtKfi. Sitka was the capital city. Just as 'Sitka M the site of the earliest -Russian settlement In Alaska, so Ju neau Is the oldest American settle ment In the territory of Alaska. It was named after Joseph Juneau. In Its early dttys It was called Pllzbury, after Juneau's firnt assayer. Its name was then changed to Kliptown. That name seeming to lack the proper de gree of dignity. It was rechrister.ed Rockwell, after an officer on the W. B. S. Jamestown. That name not prov ing nnlver. ally popular It was again renamed, being called Harrisburg. In May, 1882, a miners' meeting was called, and the name was changed to Juneau, and Juneau it has been ever since.

Our first consideration in brewing the famous bottled beer Your Dealer Has It ASK FOR IT Portland Brewing Co from Windham Bay north to near the head of the Lynn canal, a distance of more than a 100 miles. It Is worth coming a thousand miles to see the glaciers near Jjneau. As you come into sight of Juneau you see- he city is nestled t the foot of high peaks. In all directions you see new work. where the Gastlneaux Mining company are putting In expensive equipment to open a mine that will rival Ireaawen on Douglas Islana, Jusi across ine narrow channel. As you skirt the shores of Douglas Island you see the workings of the famous Treadwell mine, with its huge "Glory hole," from which millions of dollars have been taken. Many Met Death. In the early days a good many fatal accidents took place with explosives and the workmen frequently went to glory and into fragments at the same instant, as a result of an unexpected blast. In the evening we went over to Douglas Island and visited the town of Douglas, near the Treadwell mine. Douglas Island was untouched until 1881. John Treadwell, a carpenter from San Francisco, had to take the original claim that of Bean and Mat thews on Pan's creek, in settlement of a debt of $150. He bought the adjacent claim from "French Pete," or Pierre Joseph Krn sara, for $300. Senator John P. Jones of Nevada. Frye, Hill and Freeborn of San Francisco, became his partners. Nearly a thousand stamps work night and day crushing the ore from the Treadwell mines. Between 5000 and. 6000 tons of ore are crushed daily. One thousand eight hundred feet below the ground th . ore body is 400 feet wide. This little island five or six miles wide and 25 miles long will pro duce enough treasure to pay the pur chase price of Alaska many times over. Mine Great Producer. How much this largest gold mine in the world has produced since Mr. Treadwell paid J450 for the two orig inal claims I do not dare to state, for no one would believe the figures. The whole .1'incau district seems to be mineralized, and in time Juneau will be one of the great mining camps of the world. Just as Jumbo mountain rises be hind Missoula, Montana, so Jumbo mountain rises back of Treadwell ana the village of Douglas. Eight miles north of .Juneau is the Mendennau glacier. Southeast of Juneau is the famous Taku gla-iei. South of Taku is the Sum-Dum or Dowes glacier. From the Stetson s deck we coum see the cold-green sparkling ice mass or Sum-Dum. To the westward is the world's wonder, Muir glacier. But a description of the scenic wonders near Juneau requires a separate article. Juneau, with its - Greek Kussia'i, church. Its busy streets, its curios, its nearby hunting and fishing anl nature's magnificent panorama or mountain and tlacler, wooded isles and picturesque inlets, is a city in a clasa by Itself.

(Salem Bureau of The Journal.) Salem, Or., April 17. All of the members of the desert land board. except Treasurer Kay, yesterday after noon joined with Governor West in demanding that the Des Schutea Land company, of which J. E. Morson is president, furnish the board with a financial statement showing the re ceipts and expenditures of the com pany and also a description of all the lands in the company's project which have been disposed of by selling op tions. This action -was a distinct victory for the governor In support of his con tention during many stormy sessions of the board that Mr. Morson should be required to furnish this information s the board could act intelligently in protecting the rights of settlers. At one time Morson offered the board this information, through Mr. Kay, on con dition that It would be kept secret and the governor refuse to accept It un less it came as any other public re cord, open to the public. Expects Another Squabble. Mr. Kay would not vote on the prop osition because he said he did not think the board had the right to re quest this information and if Morson should refuse the board would be in another squabble. That this information be requested of Morson was suggested in a letter from State Engineer Lewis accompany ing his report of his investigation of one unit of the project. In his motion, the governor stated that the information was wanted so the board could tell whether the com pany has sold options on land in the east side unit of the project, for which there is no immediate prospect of water or in the west side unit for which water could. b supplied with a comparatively slight expenditure - oi funds. .... Replying to a query from Attorney General Crawford, Governor West said if Mr. Morson can show his ability to go ahead with the project In good faith he will do all he can to. help it along. Mr. Kay asked the governor if he was not allowed to dictate the terms. "IH agree to any reasonable con tract," replied the governor, "and you ,can write the contract." "I want to know if you will pro ceed under the old contract," said Mr. Kav- ; ' . "I'm opposed to the old contract be csuse of the straw bond' It allows. Ktftrt the governor, "but with a new contract I will agree to any reason able terms the board" Is of a mind to The secretary of the board was In structed to request the company to have the information desired before the board by April 24, when another meeting will be held.

K""l""'rt..i-ilil!llniW1 To be ignorant of world ge ography Is unpardonable In this day and age of accurate maps, interesting facts, and widespread knowledge, yet many otherwise well educated people have the haziest kind of notions as to the location, position, size, and Im portance of countries we hear about every day. Mexico with nearly a million square miles and sixteen million people is a land most people know nothing about Our large map showing all the states, mountain ranges, rivers, rail roads and cities is a mine of in formation. The newspaper dis patches mention some Mexico city or state every hour. Here is a land of treachery and in trigue, and civil war. Americans are fleeing to Vera Cruz. The battle at Torreon has decided the fate of the state ot Chihuahua. But do you know where Vera Cruz and Torreon and Chihua. hua are located? What their extent is, and why they, appear so often in the newspaper? The average man has no conception of China, the new republic, with her four hundred million people. A land of such tremendous force and possibilities should be familiar to every American. Europe with interest centered in Bulgaria, Servia, Montenegro and Turkey is always In the limelight Where are 'these countries and what is their relative importance? You should know.
