A ErnitfnI Intellect.

Mary J. Lincoln. all alleged writer on cooking, writes the St. Louis Globe Democrat as follows:
 Eggs eaten raw or properly prepared, that is, cooked at only a moderate de- gree of heat, are palatable and easily digested, but when hardened by in tense heat, they become difficult of digestion"
 This is a wonderful discovery that Mary Jaue has made. Frances Willard said "the greatest discovery of the cen tury is the discovery of woman" We think Miss Willard should have said that Mary Jane Lincoln as a writer on cooking is the greatest discovery of this century. When it becomes generally known that Mary Jane is giving the readers of that newspaper such valu. able suggestions on raw and cooked eggs, the circulation of the Globe, Democrat will be materially increased
 Mary Jane must be wonderful cook

She Got the Picture.

A tall, handsome woman iu this city recently received a kodak from the east. She was very much pleased with it and took a snap shot at the least Yrovocation. Her tastes are artistically inclined and she admires the unique, the picturesque, the grand. She makes regular trips into Indian town and many a native has had his picture taken before he knew what our heroine was thinking of or doing. One sunny afternoon last week, she visited n26lTc town with her picture machine m her hand. She saw small Indian boy whose picture she wanted, and she wanted it bad Our heroine is posses sed of suDerabuudaucc of nerve and determination and she instantly made up her mind that she just must have that boys picture. Did she get it?' you ask. Wait and see. With an in nocent look in her face she squared the machine for action, but the kid caught on" and started off on a keen run. She dropped the photographic machine and followed the boy on a keen run. Her height was an advan- tage to her and she soon had that boy in her clutches. She walked him back to her kodak. There she gave him a skaking that almost dislocated his liver. "Now, you stand there" " she said in a most savage tone, and stand he did. He was frightened half to death. His hair all stood on end, his eyes bulged out and it was indeed picture of fright and despair. The picture was taken and proved to be gem. She prizes it higher than any she has here tofore secured. The News will repro duce it ina short time in these columns. The name of this woman is Mrs. Elmer D. Smith.

 7"Tho streets are winding and dirty and the houses crowd tightly against the sidewalks. On evcry corner is a saloon-AIaska being strictly prohibi- tion--and next to every saloon IS a dance house. The next place of busl- ness is bound to be either Yukon out fitting establishment or a curio shop for the turing of the sumner tourist.
 Would itnot be well for oDr peop.a to look over their real estate in this city and sec if ia needs cleaning ur. 1t is not pleasant to have visitors come to our town and describe it as above.

"Took q Serpent to Ills Bosom. .,

Pat Milan returned from the Atlin country last Thursday evening. MT. Milan placed too much confidence in Canadian and, as a consequence was beat out of his claim. Below we give record of the case as reported by The Atlin Claim of July 18th:
 Milan Vs RuShtOn-"Anuie' and "Aunie Mo- 2" bench claim on Pine. Tn this case Milan, the petitioner, staled the ground on the 8th and then again on the 1fth September, 1898, on account of rot having obtained bis miners license at the time of the first stalking In cross exam iGG lion, hOwCv- CT, he admitted having assisted Rush ton to stake the same ground, on the understanding that RushtOn, who is a British subject, was to have half in terest in the claim and hold the other half for Milan, who is not British subject. Rushton, on the other hand, denied in his evidence the existence of any such agreement, and stated that Milan not only offered the claim to him for nothing, but actually cut his, Mi lau's, name of the stakes and wrote Rushton's on them instead. The latter obtained a record on this stalking, and alleged that it was only when some good prospects were taken out that Milan claimed a half interest. The commissioner decided that Milan hay ing taken his name off the stakes, his action must be taken as abadnonment. The action was therefore dismissed.
 The Rushton referred to above is ". II. Rushton, formerly nightwatchman at TreadWell
 The Judge, in reviewing tEe case told Mir. Milan that when he formed a part nership with Rushton he had taken a serpent to his bosom, and that while he sympathized with him, the law was plain and he could not help him.

The Yakima Tine.

A visit last week to the Yakima mine revealed the fact that the work is being carried on rapidly under the super vision of MT. J. E. Haman. A large shaft is being sunk at about the center of the property and has reached depth of 70 feet. A cook and bunk house has been erected, also stable and a blacksmith shop. A sample of the ore that is being taken out of the main shaft was sent to San Francisco for a complete test of it's value Mir Haman is a very pleasant gentleman and tooN great pains to show the reporter over the property. A number of the stock holders are expected up from below soon to look over the property with a view to further improvements.

EX,sGOY. Swlneford.

Ex-governor Swineford was in Juneau last week. He recently came up from Ketchikan where he is now located. Ho informed a News man that he intended to move bis family to that place soon. The governor has great confidence in that district and he has been down there long enough to know what he is talking about.
 "What do you think of the ore de posits at Ketchikau?" was asked,
 ''I think it is one of the greatest min ing districts in Alaska. Enough work has been done down there to satisfy me that it is all right. As to low grade ore, I think it will lay it over anything yet discovered in the whole district, Even Treadwell will be outdone as a low grade proposition"
 This language comes from a reliable man, who has gone down there to stay, and whose word is good, and yet, one year ago, Ketchikan and Thom Arm were generally supposed to be no good,

Even Miss Mary Ann Sullivan, the stewardess, has left her. McAvoy is on the Al-M and the captain is a new one on us. The OriZaba is splendid boat, has bilge blocks on her bottom and rides a rol- ling sea magnifcently. We hope the Orizaba will again be put on her for, meT run.

THE SCHOOL PROBLEM.
Location of the School House the Most Serious
 Question.

OueSllOn,
 The suparintendent of schools has shown a disposition to treat the people of Douglas in a just and proper man ner. The number of teachers has been increased and we are promised larger school building, but the most impOr- taut matter has evidently not been brought to the attention ofthe authori- ties. The school grounds are located au the north part of town, and in fact so far away that children in the lower grade cannot attend iu the winter when the SHOW is on the ground and the storms prevail. It will be a positive waste of money to enlarge the present school building, for parents of small children will not send them except during the pleasant weather In the early fall and late spring, and then, during the most favorable weather, many parents will not send their chil- dren to school on account of the great distance. The school house is the furthermost building on the north side of the town. The sidewalks leading to it are dangerous even iu fair weather. It Is so inaccessible that the over whelming sentiment Of our people is that no money should be wasted in en- larging the present building, which is of little value at best.
 We hope the authorities will send some one here to investigate this mat ter. We are in great need of school that the children can attend. As 1t now is, not one half of the children of the town will have an opportunity of going to school, and all because some one has located the school house away from everybody.

Another Word to the Postmaster General.

The Topeka, a United States mail steamer with the mail from the south on board, steamed by the Douglas City wharf last Friday afternoon, at 10 minutes past o'clock to Juneau, two miles further up the channel. At Juneau the Douglas City mail was transferred to a row boat and was brought to our postofice about three hours after the steamer passed our wharf. The postoffice department con tracts to have our mail brought to Douglas City in row boat, when the same could be thrown onto our wharf as the mail steamer passes by. All the officers and employees of the great TreadwelI mines get their mail at this office. The population of TreadwelI and Douglas City is almost as great as that of Juneau. How long, MT, Post master General, will you continue to permit this outrage to be perpetrated on our people? Some official in your department is giving us the marble heart" Is it riget? Is it fair? Is it just?

From porcupine.

W. M. Matlock, of the City Brewery returned from Porcupine Saturday night and speaks very fattering of that mining camp. Mr. Matlock says that the gold is plentiful in that locality and that every claim where sufficient labor has been done to reach bedrock that good pay dirt has been struck, and the miners are satisfied that Porcupine is second to none in Alaska as rich pla- cer diggings.

In a Playful Mood.

The Humboldt steamed in to the channel last Friday shortly after the dinner hour. As she passed the Doug las City wharf the boats whistles were sounded iu such a manner as to denote that the commander was in a mirthful mood. This eXuberant display Of eX- cited emotion was probably owing to the fact that the vessel sJeered clear ot the rocks and mud flats all the way up from Seattle

The POrCunine.

MT. Manly Danforth and his wife are still in the Porcupine. It was reported that they were coming out-that the country was no gOOd-but they still remain. When the truth is known we believe it will develop the fact that there is plenty of gold in that country and that poor prospecting is giving it a bad name.
