dark in the summer months they in
variably ask when we Sleep" said F.
A. Cross, a merchant from Council
Alaska. ''Well, we sleep whenever we
have the opportunity. Very few Of us
have regular time for going to bed
and arising. except the miners, who
work on shifts and have to be more
methOdical.

nothing doing, and the few people who
stay there can sleep all they desire.
But when spring opens up business
fiourishes. Every one has to work all
he possibly can, because the summer is
very short and a great deal has to be
accomplished to make up for the stag
nation during the winter months.
'The verdure and brush grow with a
rapidity that is astonishing in the
warm months. Plants grow so rapidly
that we can raise berries and the hard
Ter vegetables before frost sets in.''-I
