The North Dakota Firemen' 8
Association decided that it would
send the team that made the
best record at the tournament,
to Kansas City this summer.
The annual convention and
tournament will be held at James
town this year and this feature
will bring about greater endeavor
on the part of contestants and
result in some of the best races
the association has ever had.
Owing to June 3 being Monday
the association set the dates for
June IA, Is, and 16 as it is i'm
possible for many Of the teams
to arrive on Monday unless they
start on Saturday. 1t is only
eight weeks until it, is time for
the annual tournament and if
our Cooperstown fire fighters
are going to get into the game at
all they have got to get busy
fitting themselves in shape for
the event. There will be some
good teams at jamestown in
June.

Three men and five dogs will start this morning Co mush to the coal camp on the Chickaloon, a few miles above the confluence of that stream with the MatanuSka. The distance k about 2lO miles and the snow is of varying depth. Much of the way there is practically no trail, but men and dogs have travelled that way before.
 The men who will make the trip are ". $.

GRACE DOLLAR
 10 COME HERE
Steamer Chartered by Kenai Lumber Company to Bring
 Large Cargo.

Steamer Grace Dollar will sail from Seattle for Seward about December TO-, with large cargo, chiefly lumber and coal for the Kenai Lumber x Fuel Company, by which she has been char tered. The charter was signed yester- day in San Francisco by the owners and by J. J. McManus, representing the Seward company. He thereupon wired the fact to F.. R. Gray also of the local company.
 The Dollar will bring 350,OOO feet Of lumber and 600 tons of Roslyn coal for the Kenai Lumber x Fuel Company. She will also bring l20 tons of eXplo- sives for the railroad company and for Rich x Harris, the tunnel contractors. Besides this she will bring all the gen. eral merchandise she can pick up without delaying her departure. Her exact tonnage is not known here but she is understood to have a carrying capac- ity of about 2OOO tons.
 The chartering of the Grace Dollar was the result of considerable hard work by J. J. McManus, who went tc San Francisco nearly a month ago to get big boat to bring up a lumber and coal cargo. He found it easy to pick up all kinds of small craft, but none large enough to bring the cargo desired by his company. Finally he secured the Grace Dollar and she would have been on the way before now had she not been slightly disabled. She is still in the dry dock, but will sail from San Francisco about December ,. She should reach Seattle about December $ and sail from that port two or three days later.
 The Kenai Lumber & Fuel Company was incorporated in October by E. R, Gray, J. J. McManuS, A. G. Baker and other local men to engage in the lum- Der and fuel trade on a large scale. It will take over the business of the Yak, utat Lumber Company and the Seward Fuel Company, and proposes to keep a stock adequate to meet the growing demands of the sea terminus of the Alaska Central railroad.

 Both men were on their way to the Santa Ana when they went overheard. Several cars were standing on the track leaving ,only a narrow passage beside them. Tho light was dim and the men stepped off without noticing that they were at the edge.

HUMPY STEPHEN DROWNED
Noted Indian Character of Inlet
 Falls into Resurrection Creek

Falls into Resurrection Creek
 "Humpy' stephen departed this life November ?, by falling into ReSur- r.ction creek near Hope, while intOXi- cNted. "Humpy'' was one of the in- teresting characters Of the Cook Inlet region, where he had lived since the memory of man runneth not 10 the contrary. He was native Indian. and was sort of assistant priest or Servi- tor in the Greek church.
 Humpy was so named because of his physical detormIty. He was a humpback, very short of stature, and his eccentricities achieved him conSid- erable local fame. He was about 90 years of age and had probably lived in Southern Alaska all his life. He was rather intelligent and while his relig- ious usefulness was doubted by persons of different faith, or none at all, he was well-liked because of his good nature.
 The precise nature of Humpy'S com mission from the church was unknown except to the elect, but his authority in the absence of a priest was not dis puted by the other natives. It was re- ported that he received a salary of $I.5O a month for his ministrationS, but in his capacity as acolyte he managed to string out his income by various levieS upon the brethren.
 It is said that when all other re- sources failed Humpy would induce the lambs of his flock 10 join him in a poker game, in which he usually sheared them. Some way or other said man who knew Humpy well, "he made all the Indian money come his way, but he always put it into cir culatiou again and it gravjtated rapidly Go the white man.
 Humps official and legal residence was at Tyoonok. but his habitat em- braced the entire Cook Inlet region, especially the localities where the white mans hootch grew rankeSt. It was under the inspiration of Cook Inlet vodka that Humpy fell from a vertical bank into the deep waterot ReSurrect- ion creek. He was unable to pull him. self to a place of safety and when his inanimatc body was dragged ashore further down it was found that his spirit had flown to the happy hunting grounds.

Found Out Who Was Boss

Once upon time youth, who had commenced to navigate the sea of mat rimony. went to his father and said; "Father, who should be boss, l or my wife?"
 Then the old man smiled and said: "Here are 100 chickens and steam of horses. Hitch up the horses, load the chickens into the wagon, and wherever YOU can find a man and his wife dwell- ing, stop and make inquiry as to who is the boss. Wherever you find wo- man running things leave a chicken. If you come to place where the man is in control. give him a horse."
 After 70 chickens had been disposed of the young man came to a house and made the usual inquiry.
 I'm the boss O this ranch, ' said the man.
 "Got to show me-"
 So the wife was called, and she af- firmed her husb9nd'S assertion.
 "Take whichever horse you want, :" was the boys reply.
 So the husband said: "I'n take the bay" But the wife didn't like the bay horse and she called her husband aside and talked to him. He returned and said: II believe I'll take the gray horse"
 Not much" said Missouri. "You'll take chicken. San Francisco Chron- icle.
