 Mir. A. Lascy and son have fin ished the surveying of the church properties in the Inlet country and are intending to take the Dora to the westward, where they are to survey some properties for the Alaska Packers.
 The reports from all the mines in the vicinity are favorable, al- though no special strikes have been made.
 Marshal Sexton has made a number of trips between Seward and Turnagain Arm, and appears to be very busy man, but I under stand that it is mostly sales of properties which have been attached that is drawing his attention.
 The Russian church received a large new bell on the fast steamer, weighing about 100 pounds, but it did not take the bell-ringer, assist cd by about twenty Russians and natives, very long to get it into position, and the priest then held services in the belfry, consecrating it to the calling of the members.
 There does not seem to be any doubt as to the Government send- ing teacher here for a winter school, something that is greatly needed. The parents of the child ren of the surrounding towns and villages will probably move here for the winter, so that the children may attend school, as there has been a great deal of talk to that effect.

unga-Capt. c. A. Johnson, of the Alaska Salmon Packing Co. at Nelson's Lagoon, Herendeen bay, had his right arm broken and was also severely injured about the body by the falling upon him of q large fish tank which he was set ting in place. Dr. Silverman, of the Opollo Mining Co.,, was sent for and reports the Captain as doing very nicely.
 A man in the employ of the Opollo Mining Co.,, name unknown, had one of his legs badly crushed while at work in the mine. He is now in the hospital under the doc tors care, ard is progressing favor ably.
 The 60 stamp mill of the Opollo mine is now running full time and with plenty of water. They expect to make good seasons run. Mir. Brown, the superintendent, is ex- pdcted back shortly, when they ex- pect to resume operations in pump ing out the new shaft. which is still flooded.
 Hopes are entertained that the Department of Justice will see the adyisability of building a court house and jail for this precinct. The Commissioner holds court in schoolhouse, and the jail at present used is very insecure, especially in the event of having to harbor any desperate prisoners.
 The placer diggings on Popoff Island are still in operation, and fair wages are made. Fresh small deposits are being continually dis covered all along, the beach, and still richer may yet be found.

To Bachelors.

There are some hundreds of thousands more men than women in the Central and Western states of America and in Canada.
 As a result thousands of trusty men-Farmers. Miners and others living in certain districts there cannot possibly get wives in their own neighborhoods.
 But in England, Scotland. Ire land and Wales there are q million more women than men and, in these countries, thousands of good, intelligent and attractive girls many of them daughters of farmers and all of them qualified to make excellent wives-see nothing be- fore them while they stay here but the prospect of living and dying as old maids and this, to them, is a decidedly unpleasant prospect. They would willingly emigrate to America, could they be assured that they were going to meet worthy men there as husbands, and that they could look forward to happy, if humble, homes on the other side of the Atlantic.
 We may say that all of them could afford to emigrate at their own expense.
 We are prepared to give good men introductions to these girls.
 If you wish to get an introduc- tion please write us with such par ticulars of yourself (agc, national ity, occupation and circumstances) as sensible girl would expect to get and we shall write you in re- ply, with view to bringing about suitable introduction without un- due delay.
 Tell us what kind of a wife (age, nationality, appearance and dis position) you wish to get.
 If you have preference for any particular Christian Sect please name it.
 You will also enclose our fee of $5. A further fee of $45 will be due to us within one month after marriage, thus making $50 alto gether. We do not confine our selves to one introduction. We give as many as will be necessary until marriage. But We make no charge for any introduction after the payment of our said fee of $5 for the first.
 It is not at all necessary that you should be a wealthy man.
 But it is necessary that you be q man who would make a kind and good husband to a good wife. { If you are not such a man please do not write us.

CORRESPONDENCE.
News Letters From Westward.

Kenai, July 26th-We are now having a slight touch of summer weather, but it would take a good deal of hot sunshine to counteract the effect of three or four hard frosts that have nipped the vegetable gardens, and everyone is looking for failure of the potato crop.
 Fish have been running finely and there is no doubt about the Alaska Packers cannery at Kus- siloff putting up over 10000 cases of salmon. Their fishing steamer Jennie, with an average capacity of 10000 red fish, went into the river the afternoon of the 22nd with her flag floating in the breeze as she was making her banner trip, having on board few over 22,00O fish.
 On June 3Oth Mrs. H. NJ. Weth- erbee, wife of Captain H. NJ. Weth- erbee, Superintendent of the Alas ka Packers. and Mrs. Robert Mor- gan of Kussiloff, and Mir. George Mearns. Postmaster at kcnai, were the guests of Captain and Mrs. Shaw of the steamer .Tyonic, and remained as such until the morn- ing of the Fourth, when they ar rived back at Kussiloff. During the trip the towns of TyonOok, Hope and Sunrise were visited, and the weather was all that could be desired excepting a few hours on the morning of the first, when the steamer had to hunt shelter behind Fire island during stiff blow out of Turnagain Arm.
 While at Sunrise the party took great interest in the in the hydraul- ic and sluice workings going on along Six Mile creek. the most in teresting being that of the Big . Horn Mining Co.,, of which Mr. Ommaney is manager. He was quite pleased to receive call from the party, the property being abou, four miles from town. He allowed the ladies to pan painful of dirt each, and they were rewarded by finding a good sized color in each pan, and the gentlemen stood very attentively alongside to see that no salting was done.
 The garden which has alway. supplied the town of Sunrise witt vegetables does not look any better than the gardens in other places although in the canyon, where it i. situated, it is supposed to be warm CT and more conducive to the quicl growth of lettuce, radishes. etc.
 On the morning of the 18th the steamer Kvichak, from Karluk arrived at Kussiloff, and she looked so large and different from any steamer that frequents these water that majority of the natives here who could see her twelve mile away, concluded that she was 1, Japanese man-of-war, and at onc' began to make preparations to hik' for the woods. but the priest cam, over to the store and inquired abou the vessel, and thereby saved hi congregation useless journey.
 Aboard the steamer was Chas. K Dorr, Secretary of the Alask; Packers Association, his son Ere, Dorr and Lieut.. Commander J. \ Moser, of the U. $. N, retired, win is on a six months leave of absence and is the guest of Mir. Dorr. Tn party has visited all the cannerie of the Association to the westwar,

"suIcIDE CLUB" FLOURISHES.
Young Women of Boise, Idaho, Have Organization and Choose
 Victims by Lot.

Boise, Idaho, has fully organized suicide club. That it is ready for busi- ness and has already transacted con- siderable business is shown by the fact that at least three of its members have "shuffled off" by the suicide route with in a period of as many months.
 The fact of the existence of the organ i7ation became known to the police in an investigation into the death of Grace Ashton, its latest victim. She died from morphine poisoning on third attempt at suicide, both of her previous attempts having been frustrated through season. able discovery by friends.
 Another young woman friend Of Miss Ashton attempted suicide by taking pol son. but recovered, and it was through her that the existence of the club was made known. The club is regularly or ranized with a strong membership-all voung women-and holds meetings at regular intervals. It transpires that at each meeting a new victim Is chosen oy lot who Is to "pass off" before the time for the next meeting by one of the usual methods adopted in such cases, the par ticular mode being optional with the can- didate.

MoccAsINs FOR SOLDIERS,
Inquiries Made by Representatives of Powers at War for "Bangor's
 Golden Slippers"

Inquiries have been received in Bangor, Me-, from persons sup posed to represent either the Rus sian or the Japanese government concerning prices for moccasins in large quantities and the earli- est date of delivery at Atlantic or Pacific ports. It is supposed that the moccasins are wanted for sol diers campaigning in Manchuria. For that purpose they would be eminently suitable, says the New York Sun.
 The moccasin is the favorite footwear of the lumbermen of Maine, and was first made in Ban. gor in 1851. At first only one or two styles were made, but now moccasins are manufactured in great variety, ranging from slip pers for women and children soft as kid and embroidered with beads-to the stout boots and lar rigans of the Penobscot lumber men.
 Much of the sewing is still done by hand, being let out by the piece to French Canadian families in the neighborhood of Bangor. All moccasins are made of specially prepared leather, rendered a gold en yellow by a peculiar process of tanning.
 The common moccasin is not proof against water, but it has room for several pairs of stock ings, and that is strong point in it's favor. For keeping the feet warm and dry in cold weather the moccasin has no equal.
 The greater part of the mocca- sin leather still comes from the place of it's origin, Pawtucket, R. l., although considerable quantity is tanned in Bangor. Some years ago Bangor men es- tablished factories at Red Wing, Minn., and Racine, Wis.
 The dainty bath slippers, which are not really moccasins, but are made from soft elk skin, are in great demand at home and abroad, and are especially favored by the ladies of Japan, to which country Bangor sends large quantities. It now seems likely that "Bangor's . golden slippers" as moccasins are called, may be worn by the con- tending armies in Manchuria.

JAPAN'S FIRST IRONCLAD.
Her Crew Made a Brave Start, But Couldn't Stop Her Till Fires
 Went Out.

That the role of Japan as a mar itime power is a new one is brought strongly to our notice by recalling the quite we'll authen- ticated story of the first adven ture of the first Japanese iron clad, says Country Life.
 She was built in England. While she was building her crew were also in England practicing, in other ironclads how to drive her. When she was finished the Japanese seamen took possession of her, bravely maintaining that they were fully equal to the task of starting her.
 And that, to be sure, they were, for she steamed out finely. The trouble only began when she came back to port again. Then, when they wanted to slow her down and stop her, they were unable to do so.
 They had to put her out to sea again and go on steaming her about till her fires went out, her engines stopped for want of steam, and she could be lowed in.
 From this to having the best mentally-equipped crews, perhaps, of any nation seems long step, but it has been very rapid one.

Insect Senses.

Naturalists have decided that many insects have senses which human beings lack. That of loca. tion, shown by the wasp, for in- stance, is remarkable. One spe. cies builds it's nest in a sandbank that is only part of several acres of such soil, and when it leaves in search of food it covers the nest so carefully that no ordinary eye could discover it's location. That is to say it is just like all the sur rounding location, and yet the wasp flies back to it without hes itation and finds it without mak- ing a mistake. There is another wasp tFat unerringly locates the eggs of the mason bee under a thick layer of sun-baked clay, and deposits her eggs in the same cells that her young may have food when they are matched.

THE COASTER SUBSIDED.
Drummer Dragged of Getting a Big Order, Then Was Cleverly Ex-
 posed by Joker.

The habitues of a certain sub- urban hostelry had long been weary of the boastful chatter of an intermittent guest of the com mercial fraternity, and it was with rare satisfaction that they recently saw him annihilated, so to speak, says the New York Times.
 "Had splendid day." he opened up as usual; "spent an hour in old Simons' store over in Rye and came out with a $2,000 order"
 He produced notebook in sub. stantiation, as Old Simons" atti- tude toward gentlemen of his ilk was we'll known, and the incredul- ity of his audience was not masked. The notebook was hand ed around for inspection and halt ed with a gray-haired stranger over in the corner.
 "Oh, yet-the entry's all right enough" he said, mildly, "but- it's very strangew
 "What's strangew demanded the commercial man of might.
 "Why, how it got there. I have no recollection of giving any such order, and if you will kindly tell Ire which of my employees author. ized it you will be conferring ia. vor upon me. You evidently don't recognize me as MT. Simons, of the Rye firm, but"
 But the erstwhile boaster, had wilted out of sight. His quopdam victims roared with delight.
 "I say, that's rich" exclaimed one of them; "it's worth $50 to see you take him down like that, MT. Simonsw
 "I didn't say was MT. Simons, sir," returned the meek-looking stranger; Gin fact, I don't know the gentleman-any more than the young man himself didw

The food value of the things con. sumed amounted to 8,491 calories. This made the average amount consumed 1,081.8 calories. Ac. cording to the textbook prepared by Mrs. Ellen H. Richards, of the Boston Science school, only 956.3 calories are necessary to sustain men and women working moder- ately hard.
 Miss M. B. Vail, instructor in do mestic science at Teachers col lege, who had charge of the lunch. con, says that p cents would be a fair average for all meals, so that persons who pay more than $240.9O a year are doing injustice to themselves and their pockt. books.
