A Northern Danger.

There is one terror about going to
Klondyke at this season of the year
which not many people think of. One
account says that the Winter wealth
er up there would not be so bad if it
were not for the fogs. A physician
was speaking yesterday, says the
Salt Lake Tribune, and he said:
THAT fog is the pogonip, that is,
the air is filed with innumerable
particles of floating ice:" just such an
air as killed SO many men in Hamil-
ton, Nevada, and Leadville, Colo
RADIO, when the miners first went to
those places. The altitude in the
Colorado and Nevada camps made
what the latitude will make on the
Upon Yukon, and it will not be
strange if pneumonia becomes so
prevalent that people will call it ep-
idemic and in many cases the patients
will not live two days after being at
tackled" 1t is a good deal of a shock
to Southern lungs to be subjected
to bath of air sixty, seventy and
eighty degrees below zero for sever
al days at time. If in any way the
system becomes debilitated there is
no chance to rally. To go to the
Upper Yukon in midwinter is, for
the ordinary man, to take big risk
of perishing.

About Sensational Reading.

Charles r. Skinner, state superin-
tendent of public instruction Of
New York, says of the evil which the
young derive from sensational read
ing:
Sensational reading, even when
not impure and unchaste, is hurtful.
because it makes the mind weak. in
capable of continued effort, averse
to real work. 1t suggests scenes
and incidents out of the ordinary ex-
perlences of life, and fills readers
with unreal, impracticable, impos-
sible plans and projects. and units
them for the plain, practical duties
OF today. The mind grows by what
1t feeds upon. Iffed by sensational
books, it can never gain the heights
OF excellence, for it has not the
strength and endurance needed to
reach them. Nor is it too much to
say that the moral education of the
young is sadly marred by sensation
al reading.
1t weakens their mental vigor.
1t loads the mind with foul images
and corrupt thought which not only
defile, but reduce the intellectual
powers. The pupil whose imagina-
ton has become polluted through
impure reading find these unclean
images constantly appearing. Wig
orous and continued mental action
becomes distasteful. The aimless
look, the careless position, the list
less manner show that real study is
not performed. The entire mental
machinery becomes eufeebled and
useless for good work. Pupils fail
to give attention in recitations, the
memory becomes impaired, a pre-
occupied air shows that lessons and
studies, recitations and examinations
are of no value.
"Second-Evil reading blackens
the moral nature.
"What is needed in this city, in
our state, in the whole county, is an
aroused public sentimentagainst this
horrible iniquity of publishing and
selling vile literature. Fathers and
mothers and guardians everywhere
ought to know the awful danger to
which the children are exposed. We
need to have the whole business
branded as monstrous and Internal.

THE aouTY" OF A NEWSPAPER.
Davis Tells a Story That Many People
VIII Not Believe.

Viii Not Believe.
Sam Davis, of the Carson Appeal,
saws he has quit trying to reform
the world, and hereafter any one
can violate any law with impunity
and commit murder or any other
crime without being "pieked up"
by the Appeal. Davis gives as an
excuse for his lukewarm attention to
public affairs that the people are
quite anxious that the paper should
"burn up" somebody for something
and stay in the background and
laugh and grow fat, while the editor
grows lean on short rations, because
he is engaged in "burning 'em up"
There is more truth than fiction in
what Davis says. People don't seem
to consider that a newspaper is
quite likely to suffer in a business
way in trying to right some public
wrong, and while they enjoy the
sfght" they never stop to consider
that possibly the paper is being boy
cotted by the friends of the party
under discussion. People as
rule, expect too much from a news
paper and are not willing to give it
that support that its service to good
government and better surround
ings in the community warrants.
In short, people don't begin to ap-
preciate what newspaper does for
them. If they have a friend, they
expect long obituary telling of the
good deeds of the deceased, and
then publish long card of thanks"
to the "dear friends" who assisted
them in their "hour of tribulation.
But they don't think to mention the
newspaper. If new baby comes
into the household the newspaper
must set up birth notice and give
the weight of the kid II a man
goes into business he expects a
write-up of his intentions. If the
newspaper don't chase around and
publish every scrap of local happen
ings, people say d such paper,
there's nothing in it. And all this
time that same paper is doing more
for tie upbuilding of the community
than any other ten influences COM
bined. and doing it all for glory,
and too often the editor.is boarding
himself. eve poor morals" are
better appreciated after death than
when starving trying to serve the
public on gthis dusty ball'-Reno
Gazette.

AIaska's Lake of Petroleum

While the whole world is excited
over the gold discovery in the North
sight has been lost on another dis
covery that promises to be of great
Importance in that section. Some
months ago lake of almost pure pc
troleum was discovered and samples
were sent to Seattle for an analysis.
The assayer's report on these has
just been made public and the find
is reported to be ofincalculable rich
ness.
A company has been formed in
Seattle to handle the product, and
travellers from there say that the
company intended to put it on the
Alaskan market at once. The lake
is of unknown depth, several miles
in length and the quantity of petro-
leum is said to be of the finest. 1t is
fed by springs, and the hills sur
rounding it are said to be rich in
coal and asphalt. The lake is only
two miles from the ocean so that the
difficulties of transportation are re-
duced to minimum. 1t is the ex-
pectation of the owners of the lake
to take it's products into the mining
camps of northern Alaska wherever
the waterway will permit.

As direct result of the recent
heavy drop in silver the Ontario and
DAILY mines at Park City, Utah, will
close down within the next two
weeks. All ore now broken is to be
worked up, the mines timbered in
weak places so as to stand the long
closing down period expected, and
work will not be resumed until sill
YER gets back above sixty cents an
ounce. More than 1000 men will be
thrown out of employment while
5000 in and around Park City will be
affected by the shut down. The
outlook is a gloomy one and men
are leaving Park City for Montana
and other points every day.

THIS DEVIOUS LANGUAGE.
ats Peculiar Twists ns Interpreted b
Continental German.


Continental German.
An American in London had some
business TO transact recently with a
German whom he had never seen. II
was agreed by letter, reports the New
York Sun, that the American should oo
TO the town in Germany here his cor
respondent Lived, and that the Ger
man should meet him at the railroad
station. a telegram was sent by the
American notifying the Germon as to
the day and hour of his coming, and
the train, and telling the German how
to recognize the American.
The telegram was sent and received.
The German got out his German Eng
ilsh dictionary and carefully trans
Ianed the telegram, and then he grew
wild with despair. He rushed out
among his friends exclaimirg: How
am l to recognize a man who is tall,
and short, and fat, with money I'M his
hat?"
Tall, and short, and fat, with money
in his hat!" cried his friends. mo
one can identify such a person"
So the German went from one to an
other asking the same question, until
the train was due.
How shall | know him?" the Ger
man walled, as he made his way to the
station Tall and short and-" he
was repeating to another friend in the
station, when the friend interrupted
him. Let me see the telegram" he
said. The German produced it. and
the puzzling part read:
Look for man who is tall. little
stout, with checked cap"
The friend translated it properly and
the German had NO difficulty in picking
out the American among the incoming
passengers.

The advertising man of a we'll
known New York clothing house
says" We were the first to use the
sails of vessels as an advertising
medium. Then we got up the alpha
bet puzzle, and gave away 100000
puzzles while the craze lasted. Af-
terward we inventefthe Waterbury
watch idea. We had to do some
thing because three of our principal
competitors had failed, and their
stock being sold for next to nothing
by assignees,; so we decided to give
Waterbury watch with every
twelve dollars worth of goods pur-
chased. We advertised the watches
wound and set. To wind them
fast enough we had to rig up lit
tie machine worked like sewing
machine that would do the winding
and we kept several boys at work
winding and setting them. Before
we quit we had. given away 10000
of the watches.
But nothing ever pays us like the
ordinary newspaper advertising.
The fact is, there has come to be in
this city class of advertisement
readers just as there is of news
readers. They read the advertise
ments every day, and of course the
men who want to attract them has
to get up an advertisement that will
do it. The day of standing adver.
tisement in the paper, Go to So and
Sos for clothing or Go to this and
That's for shoes, has passed, just
as the day for printing signs on
rocks and fence or on the sails OF
boats has passed. You must have
something interesting and fresh in
every advertisement, and it will b.
read.

The recommendation In said report that

is that the present incumbent and all OF
