Don't Be a Knocker.

The following is from Kansas newspaper. It is good advice and should be read by everyone. Scv- eral persons in Valdez should read it very carefully. If there is any chance to boom business, boom it. Don't pull a long face and get sour in your stomach. Get d smile on you. Hold up your head. Get a hold with both hands, then pull. Bury your hatchet. Drop your tomahawk. When stranger drops in, jolly. Tell him that this is the greatest town on earth. It is. Don't get mulish. Don't roast. just jolly. No man ever helped himself by knocking other people down. No man ever got rich try ing to make people believe that he was the only man on earth You can't climb the ladder of fame by stepping on other peoples corns. They are their corns, not yours. And they are tender. Keep off the cOrns."

From Orphanage News Letter.

From Orphanage News Letter.
 Herring are very plentiful now. Over 300 were caught at one haul of the seine recently.
 Barley, wheat oats. speltz, grass. rape, hemp and all kinds of garden vegetable have been sown and many are up. About half an acre of po- tatoes has been planted. The first lettuce was on the table May 10.
 Governor Brady, we believe. does well to recommend that Alaska postpone the forming of d territory until the number of land owners increases.
 A few red salmon have started to run.
 MT. Boswell, whose daughters are attending the Orphanage, has the following description of the Mission in recent letter: "Mr. Coe, the father of the Mission. is instructing the young men in differ ent lines of business, such as salt ing salmon and cod, farming and other occupations. It fact. all the children have something to do, from alarming stockings to weaving carpet, keeping house and sewing. One thing in particular that sur prised me here was how they keep so many young children so spot lesslv clean. All bathe regularly once week. The table is well provided and they all have a good time of it. Mir. and Mrs. Coe are kind and good, and Mir. and Mrs. Forby, Mrs. Campbell, Dr. Mills and Mir. Evans, the government teacher, are all fine people who make one feel at home."

Relocation of Claims

A co-owner in a mining claim cannot by relocation succeed to the interest of his co-owners who do not join in the relocation, even though through failure to perform the assessment work, the claim is forfeit. His relocation inures to the benefit of all his co-owners. If he procnres the location to be made by a third party and then takes title by deed, the essence of the act is not changed. His act must still inure to the benefit of his co-owners.
 The supreme court of Utah ruled that the proper course of pro- ceeding by which the co-owner could divest his associates of title Is to do the assessm,nt work and then advertise his co-owners out in the manner provided by the stat ute.

up-to-date Fishermen.

The day was qnite dreary, with
 nothing in sight, So Jack. Phil and Andy struck a
 scheme that was bright. The plan was to furnish the whole
 town with fish. Not doubting the net proceeds
 would make them all rich. They needed some bait before fish could be caught, So they stopped into Dads and
 purchased quart. From Whitley they borrowed some
 hooks and q line, On the dock then they settled to do
 something fine. First they baited themselves, then
 they baited the hooks, And their faces assumed most sat-
 isfied looks, Till Jack with swing and a swish and a throw, Let the line, hooks and sinkers to the bottom all go. Now this was indeed deplorable state,
 They had promised all cod, and got nothing but skate. So to smooth OCT their trouble. Jack said to Andy: Just please pass the bottle, at that we're quite handy. Soon Baldy, quite shaky, appeared on the dock, He helped them to clean up the rest of the stock. Then Big Ed, quite friendly, came down with his truck, And landed them all at the incur ables hut.

Traditions of

THE CONFLICT OF THE FIRE NOUN
 TAINSo

THE CONFLICT OF THE FIRE NOUN
 TAINs,"
 The Alieuts have d tradition that at one time the islands of Coma hshka and Oumnak were nearly covered with fire mountains" of various sizes. An argument arose and they quarreled among them selves as to which had the largest body of fire within it.
 After d prolonged dispute in which not one would yield to the others, it Was decided that the best way to settle the question Was by d trial of strength.
 A most fearful conflict ensued, which lasted for many days. The mountains threw fire and rocks at each other instead of spears. This continued until the smaller peaks, recognizing that they could not withstand the conflict, bowed down in sorrow, and went out forever.
 Finally only two of the craters remained. one at Oonalashka- Makushin (Ayak k)-and the other at Oumnak, the Rechesnia { (Ismak) ). These having vanquiShed the others, engaged in a terrible single-handetl conflict, with the most disastrous consequences to their surroundings. Fire, rock and ashes were thrown over the adjoining country, the animals in the neighborhood were all killed, and the air became heavy with the gases.
 Oumnak crater finally realized that it could continue the conflict no longer, so gathering all its energy, it jumped up with great bound and collapsed.
 The Makushin volcano, being victor and but little injured, and seeing no more competitors, quieted down and now only smokes occa- sionally.

That the quartz boulders in a placer do not show gold, does not necessarily prove that the gold came from some other rock or was grown chemically in the placer. As a general rule the quartz in a lode that contains gold or any other mineral is less resistant to grinding and disintegrating in the process of erosion than the quartz which is barren. The latter will remain in the placer as cobbles and boulders after the gold-bearing quartz is ground to sand and the gold liberated from its matrix.

Gate 10 Keep Their
Own In.

A gentleman had two pairs Of
pigeons living in dOvecotes placed side
by side. In each pigeon family there
was father and a mother bird and
two little ones. On certain day the
parents in one dovecote went away to
get food. and while they were gone
one of their little birds fell out of the
dovecote and down 10 the ground. The
poor baby bird was not much hurt.
strange to say, but il could not get
back, for it was too young to fly, says
the Pittsburg Post.
Now the parents in the other dove
cote were at home when this hap
pened, and it seemed IS If they said to
themselves; zone Of our babies might
fail in just that way. We must do
something 10 make the dove-cote
safer" And then this wise and care
full father and mother went TO work
They flew about until they found some
small sticks. These they carried to
their own doveeote and there in the
doorway they built a cunning little
fence Of sticks. Not so high but that
the little pigeons could look over it.

ever falling out of the dovecote, as
their little Reighbor had done The
owner of the pigeons, who had seen the
birding fan and had put IL back into
its doveeote, watched the birds the
whole time as they gathered the sticks
and built the fence around the docp-
way.
