The only curiosity Of the country fra,-
ersed hy the Yukon Not far from Da,..
son there is in Alaska a really extraor-
dinary lake which was named Salasvik
BY its diseoTgrrr. Rev. p. Tosi. "A mis-
sionary among the satages.
This lake, which is 90 miles long and
about Is miles wide. is perhaps the
only one in all that extreme northern
region which does not freeze over dur
ing the winter. No communication has
been discovered between Ii and tne
sea, nevertheless, at high water upoa
the coasts Of the northern ocean, the
level Of the Lake rises, and II falls again
at low tide.
ms sympathy with the sea does not
extend to the point Of making Saldwill
a salt lake; on the contrary. its waters
are good to drink But another of its
peeuliarities is that its temperature
rises in winter and falls in summer.
When all the water courses of the neigh-
boring country are completely frozen
over, Lake Salawik becomes so warm
that it is really pleasant to battle in it.
On the other hand, in the summer time
the water is extremely cold.
This peculiarity makes it in the win
ter time a Mecca Of fishermen. The
abundance Of fish in the lake is so great
that a person can almost catch them
with the hand, and can kill large Quanti-
ties with club. Here for the miners
is a source of food supply which GER
tainly will contribute to diminish the
cost of living, especially during the win
ter, in that inhospitable region. In
an hour man can get enough fish to
supply himself for month, and Of the
very best quality, including salmon
ranging from 20 to Opounds in weight.
1t will not be astonishing il some line
day We may see upon the shores Of Lake
Salawik one of those fashionable hotels
which are the glory of American water

Montgomery, Ward d Co.'S. adver-
Using cars, from Chicago, arrived in
lola last Friday morning and remain
ed here all day. A great many peO-
pie called and were shown through
the cars and presented with cata-
lOgues and other advertising matter.
After dinner the REGISTER reporter
called and Mr.. j. Frank Pickering,
the travelling manager, showed him
through the cars. The first car is
fitted up with a dining room, sleep
ing department and an office. The
second car is used to carry their adj
vertising matter and the electrical
apparatus. A small gas engine like
the one in the REGISTER office is
used to run the dynamo that fur
nishes the electrical power to the
electric lights and their wonderful
horseless carriage. The two cars
have fourteen incandescent lights and
when they are all burning the cars
are very beautiful. About o'clock
an immense crowd had gathered
around the cars and Mr.. Pickering
entertained them for nearly an hour
with a free photograph concert.
A bout three o'clock Mr.. Pickering
called at the REGISTER Office with
his electric horseless carriage and
took the reporter for spin around
town. That is certainly most won
derful machine, running either for
ward or backward, fast or slow, just
as the driver chooses. Mr.. Pickering
is certainly a very pleasant gentle
man. And we tell all this in hopes
6n ir1l-
advertising pays will read it. Would
such wide-awake men as Montgom-
cry, Ward & Co. go to the expense of
sending out these trains and these
costly electric carriages if advertis-
ing was not y paying business
Well, hardly
