The mayor of ST. Louis says
that 10000 young men in his
town remain unmarried because
they cannot find old-fashioned
girls, the new woman being for
them an occasion for terror. So
he has set up free matrimonial
bureau to which all women who
want husbands can send their
names and references, provided
they will refrain from politics
and knickerbockers. The old
fashioned girl has the world at
her feet.

The Western Federation of
Miners are contemplating the
establishment of a miners home.
At the convention held in Salt
Lake City last May fund was
created for the purpose of build
ing a home for aged and disabled
miners, plans and specifications
for the same to be submitted at
the meeting to be held next May.
The executive board instructed
the president, Ed. Boyce, to cor
respond with officers of western
cities to ascertain what induce
ments they would offer in the
way of sites, etc. The building
is to cost S25, 900 and will be self
sustaining.

If prospectors intend going
this route, which is a good one.
they could have their outfits
shipped to Telegraph creek by
steamer from the sound and thus
go through that far light and
consequently quick. Horses
must be taken in in this manner
as there are none to be bought at
that place, while they can be
bought at Ashcroft for $50, with
outfits for packing. From there
to Lake Teslin is 100 miles and
there is very good trail all the
way. At Teslin lake barges
must be secured and the rest of
the trip is merely a summer out
ing, floating down the placid
waters of the lake and Hootal-
inqua and Lewis rivers to Daw-
son City. Landings can be made
at any time to afford stock an
opportunity for grazing. A large
steamer will be running on the
lake in the spring which will
give one an opportunity of secur-
ing transportation for some 200
miles if desirable. From Teslin
lake to Dawson City is less than
400 miles or over 1900 miles
nearer than by other routes.
Thousands of cattle will be
taken in by this route the com
ing summer. Pamphlets will
soon be published containing all
information necessary, which
will be mailed to inquiring par
ties.

The Pro~pectors Route.

Western Mining World as follows
concerning an overland route to
that section
Many are the routes travelled
and many are the perils braved
by the hardy sons of Adam in
their endeavors to reach this
wonderful country of ice and
gold. The question has often
been asked, if there is not safer
and cheaper or quicker way of
reaching Dawson City than by
going away around by steamer,
then by paying such enormous
prices for packing over danger
Gus passes and building boats to
drift down the raging rivers and
perhaps be driven against the
boulders and mashed as many
have been in the White Horse
rapids and other places.
Yes, there is another route, an
all land route, with little or no
danger attending the travelling
of it. 1t is known as the Ash
croft route, deriving its name
from the town of Ashcroft, which
is in British Columbia, 200 miles
northeast of Vancouver, and
from which the route Cstarts.
Many cattle were driven over it
in the balmy days of 1929,
when Cassiar and Omenica were
in their glory. But shall en-
deavor to give a general idea of
the route in as brief a manner as
possible. Some time ago an arti-
Gle appeared in the Seattle
Times, which gave a fair account
of the trail. AS result many
inquiries are coming in daily
concerning distance, feed, equip
ment, cost, etc. l have found it
impossible to answer all inquir-
les, so take this means of ans
wering many at once.
After leaving Ashcroft, B. c.,
which is on the main line of the
Canadian Pacific railroad, one
proceeds direct to Quesnelle, a
distance of some 200 miles. by
good stage route with plenty of
feed. 1t takes the pack train
about thirteen days to make the
trip. AT Quesnelle the Fraser
river must be forded or ferried "a
steam ferryboat is running there.
After crossing the Fraser river
you are in one of the finest graz
ing countries beneath the sun,
that is in the summer months. 1t
is fifty miles from Fraser cross
ing to the Black Water valley.
Water and fuel are to be found
at any time and no time need he
lost seeking camp ground as
any place is good enough.
There are very few white men
in this country, but the Indians
are very friendly. The place
where civilization is to be met
with is at the crossing of the
Nachaco river at Fraser lake
where the Hudson Bay Company
have store and post. This is
go miles from Quesnelle. From
Fraser lake to the first crossing
of the Buckley river is 100 miles;
this is over the divide" and the
water is now flowing in the same
direction that the traveller is
going. Then the Buckley is fol-
lowed along for about 112 miles,
crossing said river many times
and finding plenty of grass all
the time. Hazelton is the next
postoffice. 1t is at the forks of
the Skena river. This is a Hud-
son Bay post; also contains three
stores and many cabins in which
the Omenica and Cassiar miners
pass the long winter months.
From Hazefton one follows up
the Skena river for 80 miles, or
to its junction with the Babine,
there the trail turns to the left
and crosses the Skena leading
due north through mineral and
grazing country following up the

MIDDLE NAMES A NOTION.
Ancients Were Content With a Sim
pie Mode of Distinguishing Each
Other.

New York Press: Since the adoption
of its constitution, in 1777, New York
has had 81 governors. Not one wrote
his middle name out in full. Fourteen
had no middle names. There never
was candidate for governor with the
single exception of John Boyd
Thatcher, who spread his name out
10 the fullest extent and reveled il
pride when he looked upon it. To
John Boyd we should feel indebted.
1t is the literary instinct, the cult of
James Russell Lowell, Henry Wads-
worth Longfellow, William Cullen
Bryant, William Gilmore Simms,
Oliver Wendell Holmes, George Edgar
Montgomery and Laura Jean Liobey
which we must thank for knowledge
of the Boyd in Thatcher's name.
But for the cult mentioned in the
foregoing paragraph we should prob
ably never have known Henry CABOT
Lodge, the handsomest of senators.
He would have been simply Henry c.
Lodge, which sounds strange. The
swell society set in order to dis
tinguish themselves from men in trade
and walters in waiting, have adopted
the first initial and the full second
name as, for instance, T. Suffern
Tailor, j. Edward Simmons, D. Russell
Brown, o. Vincent Coffin, J. Warren
Goddard, ]. Seaver Page and ]. Harper
Bonnell.
The English style is to have as many
names as possible, so that if a man
does not look like a gentleman and
has not the manners of one he can
redeem himself by the responsibility
of his names. A century ago most of
the great men OF the world had no
middle names. There were George
Washington. Napoleon Bonaparte,
Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, James
Madison, George Clinton, John Jay.
Morgan Lewis. Increase Summer,
Caleb Strong, Isaac Wilbur and all
the rest. \ middle name was a
rarity. We have among US at this
day not a few who have dropped
their middle names for one reason or
another. Charles Wallace Brooke

Tn. Four Hundred Can Firh.

The Four Hundred Can Fight
August 81 is the anniversary Of the
battle of Long Island. It was day OF
defeat. but not Of dishonor. for the pa
triots. The American left was defeated
during long contest from daylight un-
til noon. The right under Putnam form
ed its lines on Greenwood heights.
where the British advanced boldly until
stopped by Lord Sterling with $500
Southerners. When the battle ended on
the American left CORVALLIS ordered
forward the British right and the troops
Of General Grant assailed the lines at
Greenwood. With the American left
broken. Stirling saw the hopelessness
Of winning the battle. but determined
to save the army by retreat across
Gowanus creek. To this end 1t was
necessary to force the fighting upon
CORVALLIS with a handful. and cover
the escape Of the main body. AS the
stream was affected by the tide. which
was rapidly rising. there was no time to
be lost. Among the forces ut hand and
not closely engaged with Grant was a
battalion Of Smallwood's Maryland
regiment. composed Of the flower Of
youth In that colony Of patricians.
They were 400 strong and represented
the -Four Hundred" In high blood and
lineage. Heading this small band as
a forlorn hope Sterling rushed upon
CORVALLIS ranks with an impetuosity
like that displayed by the Old Guard
OF Napoleon. For twenty minutes tho
conflict was terrible. and CORVALLIS
line was beaten back from the creek,
across which nll Of Sterling's force. ex-
cept the Marylanders. retreated. After
the ranks had been sadly thinned the
noble leader made stirring appeal to
the remnant to go forward. There was
a cheer and u charge and CORVALLIS
guns at the main battery were lost.
Three times the gallant 400 was driven
back and three times rallied for the
bloody advance.
Stirling was finally compelled TO
yield, but not until 259 Of the Mary
land phalanx had perished by the bull
let's or bayonets of Corvallis grena-
diers. CORVALLIS received the sword
of the noble Scot and sent him on board
Lord Howe's flagship. He lived to
fight his old enemy on countless
fields and to aid in his overthrow at
Yorktown.
The one hundred and eighteenth an
niversary Of the battle will be observed
nv tho MARYLAND Society.
