Fancy Work Club.

The Fancy work club met at the home
of Grace Barrett and Maude Tyler on
Fourth avenue, east.
Several OF the members were absent,
but those present had most delightful
time. After an hour devoted to needle
work, those present adjourned to the
dining room, where cocoa. cake and ba-
nanas were served.
The table was beautifully decorated
in white with little vines trailing from a
large dish of bananas in the centre to
each of the four corners, where they
were caught and held in plate by bou-
quet of white flowers. Each plate had
a wreath of the vines around it.
After refreshments, the girls returned
to the parlor, where piano selections
were rendered by Grace Barrett, Maude
Tyler. Frances Nichols and Viola Walls.
A vocal selection was expected, but, as the
party who was to sing had made break
for tall timber, they were disappointed.
Croquet was the principal game of the
afternoon, and, after arranging to meet
in two weeks with Carrie Certain.
they departed tor their several homes.

Chas w. De Wolf doesn't tire of telling
of his trip to California. He thinks it
is tine greatest country out of doors.
He says he has heard wonderful stories
of California nearly all his life, but he
was from Missouri"-he had to be
shown; but now that he has seen foi
himself, he thinks the half has not been
told. Mr.. De Wolf says that two. thirds
OF the garden seeds sold in the United
States are produced in California. But
the big trees took his eye" He says
he looked up, trying to see the top OF
the trees, until he got kink in his neck.
and then lay on his back and looked.
and then couldn't see the tops. He stop
ped at Salt Lake City on his way home,
and, while waiting or his train, he saw
two trains, of forty five cars of fruit,
fly through the city on their way to Bos-
ton. Judging from his talk, he'd almost
as soon go to California as to Heaven.
He'll find out, later. however. that Kan
sas is pretty good place to live.

LOWE RIVER DIGGINGS IS A
 GOOD THING.
Coarse Gold Drought h
A Fine Hydraulic Proposition. Recent Prospecting Shows
 Good Gravel.

The discovery of placer gold on Lowe River, about 20 miles from Valdez, is assuming greater pro- portions than at first appeared; d quantity of good coarse gold, the result of prospecting the ground, has been brought in this week by the men who were in charge. It can be seen at the Senate. So far as the work has gone on the ground the gravel shows yield of 75 cents to a $50 per cubic yard. There are about $50 acres, with gravel from four to 30 feet deep; there is a powerful head of water, and the Lowe river valley for a dump. With the simplest hydraulic ma chinery this will prove very val uable property.

Admitted that roads of all kinds were our great necessity. He be- lieved that our mines must devel- ope first, then stock raising and agriculture would speedily follow.
 Senator Patterson then followed. He seemed to speak far more bold ly than the others. He supple mented the others in the statemen, that on British soil, on the Yukon, everywhere, he was told of Valdez, the gateway to Alaska. He predict ed that within p years Alaska would produce more gold than all the rest of the United States, would exceed the greatest copper mines, and produce largely iron and coal but agriculture would in time be our greatest source of wealth. He declared Congress is not ready to give you self government. Why should it refuse togive you what you cannot give yourself? You are not mendicant. but independent citi- zens. You are building up a con- mon country, and congress should do for you" He argued that We should have and are likely to get a Il delegate, and that Alaska should move for territorial government.
 Senator Burnham congratulated us on our vast country, rivers, har- bors, scenery, mountains, &c. That they had learned considerable and would lay before congress the in formation gained.
 The visitors then embarked and in the early hours of Sunday the cutter McCulloch bore them home ward.
