Seven-year-oid Franklin is one OF
those bright and alert youngsters
whose fathers would like to tell all
about them if they dared, but who
fear the wrath OF their fellows and
hold their peace. Franklin goes daily
to Camden school with his older
sister, who is in the eighth grade and
knows lot about ancient history
and things which make wonderful
stories for the lad to hear. She was

LAND TAXES ARE GREATER.

The reports of the land offices which
were made to the state auditor year
ago showed that in round numbers
100000 acres Of land had been added
to the tax rolls through final proof.
The reports for this year will not show
so great an acreage by about 100000
acres, the new lands coming in by
proof being about 100000 acres. This
increase annually makes decided diff.
ference in the real estate assessment
roll in the course of few years.

THE N. A. T. & T. co.
Will Improve Its Fleet and Expand Its Operations in Yukon
 Valley.

Prior to his departure for the outside the middle of October, Vice President and General Manager Will II. Isom of the North American Transportation and Trading Company gave it out in Dawson that his company will expand its opera tions in the Yukon valley materially.
 The Dawson News quotes him as V ing that it is the company's plan to have several new barges built for hauling freight from St. Michael and to have the hulls of it's steamers improved and to place new boilers in its boats. The barges may be built on the coast and lowed north.
 Next year the company is likely to add dredge and quartz mining to it's mining activities, and will continue its Miller Creek and other mining work near Dawson as before.
 Shelter tests are to be made of the ore shipped outside from the company's quartz mine at West Dawson, and if all i. favorable the work will probably be gone ahead witt.

PROCLAIMS DRUNKARDS
At Juneau the City Council Makes It Criminal to Furnish Whisky
 to "Habituals."

Down at Juneau the city council has been busy proclaiming habitual drunk ards. When that has been done it be- comes a crime for saloon men to sell or furnish them intoxicating liquor in any way.
 The question is attracting attention and causing some controversy, though it is said the people will sustain the action of the city council.
 Commenting upon the matter, the Juneau Dispatch says;
 --"There is question whether the council can 'siwash' any one from buy ing liquor without first obtaining some sort of trial before the police magistrate to convict the party of being habitual drunkard Just because some member of the council says that man is habit ual drunkard is no reason that man S rights can be taken away and his name held up to the scorn of the community It is known in several cases that parties have been 'siwashed' who have never been convicted of being drunk and dis orderly "-Skagway Alaskan.

NEW TRADING POST
Established at Rampant House on the Porcupine, 200 Miles
 From Ft. Yukon.

A new trading post was established this summer at Rampant House on the Porcupine river by Cadzow, trader well known along the Yukon.
 Rampant House is immediately above the international boundary line between Alaska and Canada, 200 miles from Fort Yukon. A post was maintained there by the Hudson's Bay people for many years, but was abandoned long time ago.
 The Dawson News says there is talk of stationing d couple of mounted police there, where they could look after GUS toms matters and afford protection in that district. It could also be used as a station on what might be taken as new and more convenient route for the win ter patrol between Dawson and Fort McPherson. Supplies could be secured at Circle, Fort Yukon and Rampant House by adopting the proposed route. Last winter the police covered the entire 100 miles between Dawson and Fort McPher-on without chance to replen- ish their supplies.
 It has been reported that gold find was made somewhere above Rampant IIous, last summer, but nothing definite has been learned about it.

Gularte Lost a Mule.

Manuel Gularte lost mule in the Yukon near Dall River Oct. 26. He was going from Dall River to Charley Johnson's camp, some three miles away, when the mule went through into the water. Mir. Gularte went to Dall River and got assistance, but when he got back to the scene of the accident the mule was dead. Mail Carrier Schultz said the man had intended to start to Circle with his mules the next day.
 Mir. Gularte left Coldfoot early in the winter with four mules, and one went through the ice into lake and was drowned before Dall River was reached

Thanksgiving Day.

Thanksgiving day was very appropri- ately observed by most of the towns people.
 A number of friends were entertained at dinner by Mir. and Mrs. Rader, where an excellent feast consisted almost wholly of Alaskan products, with fine fresh caribou meat replacing the time honored turkey. Song and sociability contributed to the enjoyment.
 Mr. and Mrs. Heeter had a number of friends to dinner, and no finer turkey ever graced New England board.
 Mir. and Mrs. Fleischman also had a party of friends at dinner.
 In the evening Deputy Marshal and Mrs. Drake kept open house. Music, recitations and cards were among the pleasantries, and nice supper was served.
