KRASTNING. EXPLAINS
 George Krastning, who with Nick Nelson has been accused of diverting a good claim from the estate of J. H. Pappe, came in from Thanksgiving creek last Sun day. Krastning's statement to the administrator of the estate puts different light on the matter and places the onus of the deal on Ne1- son. Krastning made the follow ing statement:
 I staked the claim 2b Thanksgiving for my partner J. H. Pappe on Feb. Y, 1903. I also staked sab for myself and still another for a member oi onr party, Dan Headman. After stalking went to Baker and told Pappe to come up and prospect his ground, which he agreed to do, but first said he would go up Baker creek and get his tent, stove, etc. Pappe started to get his outfit, but froze to death on the way, as everybody knows.
 had recorded my claim, but Pappe had not yet recorded his. Nelson came over and said he was going to relocate 2b, as it was against the law to record claim for a dead man. then said that would abandon sab and restake 2b, as I thought it the best claim of the two. Nelson thought this foolish thing, as it would cost me $2.15 to abandon 2b and another $2.15 to record 2b, and made this propositions: That hold sab and he would stake 2b. he giving ne half OH 2b and to give him half of ab This was agreed to, but Nelson now refuses to do anything.
 Nelson took advantage of my ignor- ance of law and is trying to defraud. If the c1ai1a belongs to Pappe don't want any part ot it and his estate will get it all. To show you how foxy Nelson was: He relocated the claim within 90 days after located it, but when the 90 days elapsed he made an amended location telling me his first location was not good. know now why he did this. am go- ing out this summer and will be back

A TALE OF TWO CITIES

Mike Laboski, recent arrlval from Fairbanks, reports the Tanana Chief tied up at Chenoa. Mike de- clares the reason of her tie-up to be due to Belt & Hendricks, her own CTS, who leased her to A. w. Will Hams for the season of 1904. He says that the big boats are not able to reach Fairbanks, so are com belle to unload their freight and passengers at Chenoa.
 Williams has been doing a good business transferring freight over the shallow water to Fairbanks at ? cents per pound This was tak-. ing all the people away from Che noa, the future of which city is Belt & Hendricks only hope. The result was that the owners ordered Williams to stop and proceed to Baker Creek and bring up load of junk from their abardoned post; this Williamserefused tO do at that time. Belt 8 Hendricks then brought suit against Williams, al- leging breach of contract, as in his lease Williams agreed to freight to Chenoa 30 tons for Belt & Hen- dricks during the summer at regu- lar rates.
 Williams has brought a counter suit against Belt & Hendricks ask ing $500 per day demurrage. La- boski reports that Fairbanks is backing Williams as against Che noa and Chenoaites in general.

 AS FIRST REPORTED

In the case of Louis Siler, o. P. Goss and w. J Oslin, charged with breaking and entering the premises of Lucy Baggage, native woman, on a careful investigation by Dep utv Marshal Dreibelbis 1t was found that the evidence did not warrant the holding of the accused oil so serious a charge. Siler, through his attorney Geo. A. Salisbury. pleaded guilty to assault and was fined S25. The evidence did not implicate Goss and Oslin and they were discharged.
 Geo. w. Chilson, missionary in charge of St. Andrew $, represented the native woman at whose instance the case was brought, and the set clement was satisfactory to all con- cerned.

LOCAL FREIGHT
 RATES REDUCED

Rates for freighting to the othe side of the divide have undergone a big reduction within the past week The usual rate to points on the Glen side is cents a pound. Sundborg, when he entered the freighting field last fall, tcok con sgnments at 5 cents. This week McHush X Smith made further cut to 4 cents All of which is cal GU ated to make the miners smile Of course all engaged i'll the busi- ness wi have to come to the lowest rate. Heeter says to judge by the course things have lately taken it is likely to be 5 cents to the other side before spring, and parties need be in no hurry to enter into con- tracts for moving over their spring and summer outfits.
 The reduction from former prices amounts to 10 insignificant sum when the amount of supplies con sumed across the divide is consid- cred.
 McQuesten's teams have lately been busy most of the time in haul ing wood. and Heeter's and Me Hugh & Smiths have been- doing the treighting, All ,eams have been busy since before snow fell.

FAcTs ON CANADIAN TRADE.

"a little definite statistical informa-
ton infused into many of the speeches
that are being made on Canadian
trade would greatly improve Them"
declares the Ottumwa Courier. From
some of the de~liverances on this sub
ject a person would naturally infer
that our trade with Canada was in
a seriously depressed condition. In
fact some would have us believe that
this trade is growing worse from year
to year. They have seen in this Gre
alton Of their own fancy a bugbear,
which continued inspection has trans
formed into a monster, whose havoc
can only be averted by making ma
terial concessions through a reciproc-
ity treaty no matter what would be
it's effect to our home interests.
Persons who have listened to
these tales of calamity and who have
not acquainted themselves with the
actual conditions, would scarcely be-
lieve that during the last calendar
year our exports tc Canada increased
nearly $4,000, 900, over the preceding
year. This, too, in face CT the fact
that during that period the Canadian
tariff gave to British goods its heavi-
est preference of 33 per cent. 1t was
with delight the B%ritishers saw their
imports to Canada increase from $43,-
000, 900 in 1901 to $40, 900, 900 in 1902.
This was hailed as a great triumph
for the ~prefertial policy. But in face
of this hostility the American exports
to Canada last year increased more
than three times as much as the
British exports during the year in
question.
This showing indicates that the
American trade is taking care of it.
self in Canadian markets in a way
that needs no assistance in the way
| of reciprocal treaties. The figures of
our exports to Canada and imports
from that country for the last five
years gives evidence of the healthful
and prosperous conditions Of this
trade.

BRICKS FOR SOUVENIRS.

The anniversary of the birth OF
American Odd Fellowship will be cell
ebrated April 26. The members of
this great fraternity will celebrate
the day in a variety of ways all over
the country and in twenty-three for
eign countries. Just IS years ago
next Tuesday, Thomas Wildey and
four of his associates in the old Sew
en- Stars in Baltimore started this or
ganization which has since grown IN
to such immense proportions as to
now number 1900, 900 members.
A permanent feature of the adj
dresses delivered in different parts or
the world will be the telling of the
story of how the Seven Stars, the
birthplace Of this great order, was
destroyed in the great Baltimore fire
of February s, 1904. And the hearts
of all Odd Fellows will be made glad
when they learn for the first time
that a committee from the mother
lodge of the order, Washington No. I,
of Baltimore, which was born and
uuI IuIS III ILLS OIu CldOlS, udo al
ready secured the privilege of erect,
ing a tablet on the building that is
to stand on the site of the old Seven
Stars. The property is 10 owned
by the Hon. Charles J. Bonaparte.
This committee has purchased al
the whole bricks from the debris Of
the original Seven Stars as souvenirs
to be sent to the lodges Throughout,
the country, or at least to as many
as can be supplied, that will unite II
contributing to a fund which has beer
started to erect a memorial building
for the old mother lodge, and which
will take the place Of the old Sever
Stars in the heart of the order as wei
as to memoriZe Thomas Wildey, tn,
founder Of the fraternity. Thes,
bricks will also in a way serve as
souvenir of the great Baltimore fire
as the Seven Stars stood in the hear
of the burned district. The commit
tee has expressed a regret that tn
number of bricks is limited becaus
most of them In the building crun
bled because Of the awful heat Of tn
fire. But while this is true they hay
arranged SO that individual member
of the order who contribute as niue
as $500 will be given a souvenir.

AS d rule, the London Spectator h
not disposed tt praise the people Of
this country, but it recently remark
ed: IAN American may misjudge a
situation gravely while his interest III
it remains academic, but once let him
be trusted with the solution and the
odds are he will go u~nerringly to the
heart of it." 1t Is a high compliment,
for it touches practical achievement.
Americans are successful men of ac-
ton, according to the London observ-
er. AS long as they held that place
they Ear rest easy on the OF
theorizing. Americans must think
more deeply than appears on the sur
face, If they choose the right course
to pursue. No race is infalllble, but
it is much to be conceded a place sec
ond to none in dealing with important
affairs.
For all but eight years since 1860
the Judgment of the American people
has been to keep the republican party
in control Of the government. They
regretted, and had great occasion TO
regret, the exceptional eight years.
That was a reactionary period, a time
for ripping up a protective tariff by
a mongrel of free trade and special
favoritism, for pulling down the nag
in Hawaii, and for devising means to
relieve a countless army OF men out
of work. While there is but a small
chance that democratic folly and in
competence will be forgotten, 1t Is
well to glance back over the record
of that party from time to time, in
order that its real character, tenden-
cies and influences may be kept In
mind. The fact that 1t is without is
sues or leaders makes it all the more
easily the prey Of some madness or
the moment, of some fresh form OF
demagogy to run a brief, but feverish,
sensational race. Though some such
surprise may be sprung, it will not
travel far. Il

Mr.. RoosEvELT's TIMELY HINT

Washington Post: On the occasion
Of his address Thursday evening at
the banquet Of the Periodicl Publish
ers' association, President Roosevelt
gave ~utterance to a sentiment which,
we feel sure, will command cordial
approval in AFT quarters:
I'VE have a very large field for
working against evil here at home.
When we have made things all as
they should be in the nation state and
municipality here at home, then we
can talk about reforming the rest of
mankind; but meanwhile let us begin
at home"
There can be no two opinions as to
the wisdom, the propriety and the
kindness involved in this Injunction.
Our Savior preached it in the parable
of the mote and the beam. The
thought is i~mmortalized in the Gold.
en- Rule" 1t lives in a thousand an.
cient saws and pregnant aphorisms,
Reform, like charity, begins at home
or should begin there. And the
president points the way to the tru
est and noblest Christianity when he
counsels us to see to our own morals
before we undertake to regulate the
morals of others. Sages and philos
ophers of all lands and ages have put
this precept first among the rules O.
righteous conduct. 1t is the corner
stone of every wholesome creed-o,
every worthy ritual, religious or pc
litical. Mr.. Roosevelt never spoke {
wiser word, and it is well to bear il
mind the fact that he seasoned theor!
with substance in no uncertain fash
ion. He did not content himself will

pie, and such board would be cheap
at $40 per week or $500 per year, for
town people could not begin to live so
well for any such sum; then the fam
lily is comfortably clothed, which Ger
tainly could not be done for less than
$3.50 per year. Now here is the sum
of $500 per year, or the equivalent or
what would be counted as a pretty
good salary for a town man, obtained
by the farmer-an income which he
enjoys year in and year out and Of
which but very small account Is made
by most farmers in estimating the re-
turns Of their business. 1t makes
lots of difference whether the good
wife in preparing the meals al go
to the milk house and skim off a pint
eggs from the hen house, or draw on
a we'll kept garden for nice fresh veg
etables and fruits or catch a couple
of spring chickens for dinner, or cut
into a nice home cured ham in the
smoke-house,o or dig into a jar of home
made Sausage, or take her pick of a
lot of choice canned fruit, or whether
she has to order all these things by
telephone from the town grocer. 1t
is a fact that nearly all Of the town
mans salary has to go for these very
things, and that is why it is that the
mechanic, the clerk, the laborer ana
the small tradesman rarely ever can
do much better one year with another
than make both ends meet. The fact
Is worth thinking over.

The Law of the Hen.

O, the hens they lay
And they cackle all day,
And they make more money than q
mint;
the hens they fret
Aen they want to go and set,
And their eggs they Dol begin to
stint.
o, the hens they scratch
In our little garden patch,
And we chase till we puff and we
blow;
But they soon come back
And get a swift whack
Right across the neck with a hoe.
O, we like fresh eggs
And spring-chicken legs,
And the hen that brings in the
dough;
But she must not scratch
In our little garden patch
Or well break her neck with the
hoe.
