Chief.
Gay Barrows is looking for a
parrot. He says that is the only
thing lacking down at the family
home in Mathews, He went down
n day the first of the week to re
new acquaintance with his family
and found a new telephone in the
house, a new talking machine and
two dozen records. The children
kept the machine working under
high pressure and the neighbors
kept the telephone bell ringing. A
parrot might stand some show
against such conditions, but Gay
acknowledges that he was not 10 the
race.
u. A. Chldister, of Igloo, Alaska,
has been in the city for nearly three
weeks past on a visit to his sisters
Mrs. H.. w. Mason and Mrs. r. B.
Furiser. Mr.. Chidieter is engaged
in placer mining aud is located about
l2O miles north Of Nome, just about
on the Arctic circle. Mr.. G. says it
does get some cold there, although
it is not noticed as much as one
might think. How cold it gets be
could not say, any futher than that
the spirit thermometers froze and
broke. The mining season lasts
about three and one-half months,
although prospecting a be done in
the fall and in the spring. Those
who have mines where it is necessary
to drift" under ground use steam
tina Vers and are able to work most
of the winter. One object of Mr..
Chidister's visit is to induce Mrs.
Mason to move to Seattle aud we
understand she has decided TO do so
she can make a sale of her resi-
dence property.
