IN FROM COLDFOOT
Man Reported Lost Last Summer Turned Up
 All Right.

Manuel Gularte, who came down from Dall River with Mail Carrier Paul Schultz and arrived in Rampant Oct. r, is the man reported to have so mysteri- ously disappeared with an outfit of mules and half a ton of tobacco on the South Fork of the koyukuk last sum mer. He was not lost, but series of mishaps and misunderstanding frustra- ted all attempts to connect with his party for so long time that great ap- prehension was felt for his safety. He finally turned up all right.
 Mr Gularte left Coldfoot Sept 2S and reached Dall River Oct. II. He started with four mules and got to Dall River with three, one fine animal having dropped through the ice and drowned in d lake.
 The trip out was a trying one. From two feet to 36 inches of snow covered the ground from the top of the divide. Mir. Guiarte's home is at Circle. He is resting up temporarily in Rampant.

GRUESOME EXPERIMENTS
Chicago Doctors Reverse the Order of the Vital Organs in
 Animals.

Chicago, Sept. l2.-EXperiments upon the vital organs have been conducted at the University of Chicago by Doctors Carrell and Guthrie which it is thought may lead to knowledge permitting tie grating of the heart of one being to an- other.
 The doctors have successfully moved the hearts of dogs up into their necks, where they have continued to perform their functions perfectly. They also have been able to reverse the circulation of the blood in animals eXperimented upon without killing the animal.
 Dr. Carrell will begin new experi- ments early in October. He declared that many startling things have been learned about the heart
 'We have hope" he said, from what we have learned, that some day we will be able to replace a wounded or wornout heart in human being with healthy, youthful and strong one from living monkey
 Among OthercXperiments performed in his laboratory, Dr. Carrell has switched the circulation of dogs from some of the arteries, thus leaving them dry for q time. This opens vast possibilities for new methods of surgery in extreme eases. One of the animals selected for the experiments was completely bald in places His circulation was switched, and Dr. Carrell declares hair began to grow upon spots that were apparently permanently bald.
 Another experiment which was per formed by Dr. Carrell, who was formerly d surgeon in the French army and ir- structor in the University of Lyons, showed that gangrcue and other poison ous diseases of the blood could be cured. lie altered the location of a dogs k, . neys, moving them to d point in the animal neck in such manner that the animal is still living The doctor as serts that by this means he can reverse the flow of blood, and that, consequen;- ly, in the case of gangrene, poisonous matter in the blood would be forced out.
 In another operation, carrell sawed off one of dogs legs, and, after experi- mcntiug with it, successfully replaced it., the dumb martyr to science being able to walk about without limping.

Rampant Hydraulic Com pany Will Do Business
 at the Old Stand.
CONTRARY STATEMENT NOT TRUE

A statement printed in the Alaska Forum last Saturday implied that the Rampant Hydraulic Company, operating on Hunter creek, had gone out of busi- ness. The Forum said:
 'The hydraulic pipe which came in for the defunct Hunter concern, and was bought by the new Hoosier company, will be hauled out to the creek shortly for rivetting. All together the concern has secured some l3,000 feet of pipe. MT. Wand will rush construction of line"
 Investigation proved the above to be untrue. It approached near enough to certain actualties, however, to mislead people knowing part of the facts.
 In answer to questions G. H. Wand said the Hoosier Creek people are nego- tiating for the pipe of the Hunter peo pie, and there is d probability they will acquire it. The pipe was ordered before President L. M Davis of the Hunter company came in last summer; and it is said inspection of the ground showed that a hydraulic lift to handle taiings- and possibly some other accompani- ments-is essential before the pipe can be utilized to its fullest advantage.
 The Hoosier Creek people could use the pipe on their property; and if the deal is consummated the Hunter Creek concern will get in more pipe next sum mer and be little delayed in it's opera tions, while the Hoosier people will be given boost.
 The Hunter Creek ditch is said to be adequate until lift is installed. Work will proceed on the ground next sum mer. It is d paying proposition.
 The EIoosier Creek people are well ac quainted with their ground and know all the requirements. Work will be carried on as rapidly as circumstances and correct methods will permit

wAvs 1HAr srINo BAD luck.
Waste 10 Not Generosity, Nor Is
Thrift Stinuiness


There is an old superstition that 1t
is bad luck to burn a piece of bread.
The origin of this is obvious, says
the Saturday Evening Post, though
probably few indeed of those who re-
ligiously adhere to the superstition
have paused to think that 1t dates
from those times when families were
part of the regular order of life.
Famine no longer troubles the
imagination Of men; but the broad
truth under the foolish superstition
remains. Burning bread isn't any
more likely to bring bad luck than
wasting it in another way. But vast
Ing anything in any way is extreme
provocatiohf to what we call bad
luck" If the grown people who
habltually waste do not suffer for it
their children surely will-for they
viii follow the example set them, and
rare indeed is 1t that a family can sur
rive the faults of two successive
wasteful generations.
Waste is not generosity; thrift is
not stinginess. There are millions of
Americans, especially among the poor
end the not-too-well-off, who seem to
think so. A thorough investigation
would place at the head of the list of
causes of poverty: "Wastefulness in

one courteous action in particular.

Walter Raleigh and the cloak.

But story as charming is told of a
New Zealand gallant of the last CEN
tury. "One evening it is said, this
swain, after securing at the postoffi ce
his treasured mail budget, was seen
escorting his lady love home through
the ill-lighted. muddy streets of little
Christchurch. A light of some sort
was needed at an especially miry
crossing. The devoted squire did not
spread out his cloak as did Sir Walter
Raleigh. He had no cloak to spread
but he deftly made torch of his un-
read English letters. and. bending
down, ,.lighted the way across the mud
his sacrifice, it is believed, did not
