DEER CARRY MAIL
ON MOST NORTHERLY
ROUTE IN WORLD

NOME, Alaska, June 1.-THE prospect
is that the government will not have rea-
son to regret the establishment of rein.
deer farms in Alaska. The capacity OF
the reindeer for team work is remarkable
His hoofs are very broad and do not pen
citrate the snow crusts. His average
weight is about four hundred pounds.

pounds, and with this load can cover 30
80 and even 80 miles a day. The reindeer
teams now carry the mails from Kotzebue
to Point Barrow, a distance of $50 miles
the most northerly post route in the
world
No food is carried for the deer. At the
end of his journey or at any stopping
place, he is turned loose and at once
breaks through the snow to the white moss
which serves as food. 1t costs nothing 10

crease in the mneral-bearing parts Of
Alaska and in many places remote from
railway and steamboat transportation, the
reindeer express will be one of the most
important factors in territorial life.

women to spend so much money on silk
petticoats!"
Not long ago some one in passing the
beautiful barn owned by John ID. Rookie
teller paused to wonder.
"What shame to put all that money
into place just for horses 1t is wick
ed" he grumbled, as he passed on.
We read in the newspapers of the hun
dreds of dollars spent for flowers to make
beautiful a wedding or a reception.
What waste!" we sigh, what a
waste of money! 1t is wicked!'
1t is not wicked; it is right.
There is no money in the silk pettieoat
There is no money in the magnificent
barn.
There is no money in the withered
flowers.
The money that the wealthy spend for
Injuries is in your pocket, in my pocket.
The more flowers they buy, the more
money goes to the florist, to the gardener.
to the farmer, to all laborers.
The more silk the rich woman wears.
the more money we have. The money Is
in the pocket of the saleswoman, the mer-
chant, the manufacturer, the silk-worm
owner.
The more money Rockefeller spends for
his barn, the more there is in the pocket
o. the mason, the stone cutter, the car
penter
Let us not mourn when we see that the
millionaire is scattering his dollars; some
of them are sure to roll our way if we can
handle saw, a chisel or hammer.
1t is wicked for the rich man to hoard
his money, not wicked for him to spend
it.
So let the silllen petticoats rustic as
they viii; they are rustling for us.
Let the barn stand as firm as it will;
it stands for what we have earned.
Let the flowers be bought and let them
wither, the money is buying the delica-
cies necessary for the sick child of the la
borer. The money is paying our doctor:
bills, our street car fare. our grocery bills

This morning City Attorney Ellis ap.
piled to Judge Chapman for writ showing
why County Treasurer Reed should not be
fined for contempt of court. Judge Chap
man refused to sign the CIDER and Judge
Stiles was sent fer. The attorney for
the defendant thought there was CON
siderable undue haste in the matter o.
securing a writ for contempt of court, but
Attorney Ellis explained his position by
saying that his clients did not want to
become responsible for the interest daily
accruing by countenancing any delay
Judge Chapman thought the matter
could be adjusted without issuing the writ
and the treasurers attorney said that
their procedure would be determined not
later than Wednesday.

LOS ANGELES, Cal, June l4.-Some
seventy miles southwest of Santa Fe, N.
NJ, is found one of the most ancient and
interesting registers in the United States.
1t does not lie upon the desk of tourist
hotel, but in valley which is sharply cuC
through the mountain. This valley forms
the only pass for many miles through a
range of lofty peaks which block progress
in that direction.
The pages of this register are but two
IN number and they are the granite walls
which rise abruptly on either side of the
narrow pass.
The first entries were made by a race
and in a language unknown to modern
man. 4 thousand years before Columbus
discovered America human beings were
passing and repassing through the narrow
detle. So many generations of them tray
eled that way that paths two or three feet
deep have been worn in the solid rock.
Many of these ancient travellers paused
to register their names and the nature of
their mission on the granite pages of Ma
by these ancient people has never been de
termined. They are probably the oldest
records made by man on this continent.
The first record made in language
known to persons of the present day
bears the date of 1906. A part of this re-
cord is Eligible. Such as can be decphered
is as follows:

COUNTY TREASURER REFUSES

City Treasurer Atkins sent a messen-

yesterday to cash $4,000 worth of school
warrants, thinking that, in the light OF
Judge Chapman's decision Saturday, order.

Reed would no longer withhold payment
He was disappointed, however, and an
other chapter will be added to the already
long story of the wrangle over the pur.
chase of the Tourist hotel site. This time
County Treasurer Reed refuses to pay the
interest ON the long overdue warrants.
AIr. Reed was asked if he would appeal
the case if the city did not waive its
right to the interest accruing on the war
Iants since the date of the call.
Yes, | think / will, he replied. "There

H. Arbuckle of Clifton, is regis tered at the Orndorff Mir. Arbuckle has the distinction of being the first man who ever pulled a throttle i'll A-izcna Seventeen years ago he was engineer on what was known as the Marrow Gauge" or as the boys termed it the ''baby gauge" which ex- tended from Clifton to Metcalf, a dis tance of nine miles. The track was only twenty-two inches wide, and of course the equipment was built to cor respond. In the days when Mir. Ar buckle first began railToading the en- tire territory was infested by Indians, who never smoked the pipe of peace, save in their own councils, and when pulling a locomotive the engineer usu- ally kept one hand on the throttle and in the other he held rifle. The en- tire crew was armed cap pie and many were the encounters which they had with Lo, the bloodthirsty Indian.

 It is the opinion of some of the off cials that the high wind blew sparks from some camp fire and thus started the conflagration.
 A large number of people in Fl Paso saw the blaze and believing that an. other fire had started in the business portion of the town, hurried to the scene as quickly as possible The street cars and hackmen did a rush ing business for awhile.
