SEWARD TO BE
 SUPPORT JAN. l
Collector Hobart DeSignateS Dep uty Putnam of White Pass
 To Have Charge.

1t appears 10 have been settled that Seward will be a support on or about January 1, and whenever the big thing takes place steamers can come and go in and out of this port without asking permission of some landing which has less business in a year than Seward has in a month or two.
 The conSummation has come about sooner than was hoped. When Col lector Hobart of the customs district of Alaska was here last month he promised that he would arrange the matter with the secretary of the treasury by spring. Some influence or other has managed to spring the event forward few moons. Late Seattle papers casually mentioned that the or der creating a support at Seward would take effect January l, and that E. Finch Putnam, now deputy at White Pass, would be placed in charge.
 The Seattle papers seem to have guessed right, for now comes the Skagway Alaskan and attirms posi- lively that Mir. Putnam has received formal notification of his appointment by Collector Hobart, and that he has beee ordered to Juneau to familiariZe himself with the duties of deputy collector at a Sub-pOrt.

STEAMERS WILL BUNCH
Will Come This Month in Twos
 and ThreeS

Steamers from Seattle will be closely punched this month, from present in- dications. The Portland is only four days ahead of the Santa Clara, and the Oregon is scheduled to sail three days behind the Santa Clara, coming by the outside, which will bring the two here almost together, with the Portland only a little ahead.
 The Bertha will reach Seattle be- hind time, and will be lucky if she sails again by December l5, day ahead of the Santa Ana. The two are likely to to make a race of it coming up this month. It was thought they would race down, but it does not look now as if the Bertha would get started soon enough to get in the race.
 The Grace Dollar, which has been chartered for special trip by the Kenai Lumber X Fuel Company, is now booked to leave Seattle about Dec ember l2, but if she follows the example of all special steamers and most of the regulars she will be several days be- hind schedule in starting, which would bring her up here in bunch with the Santa Ana and Bertha.

The locked horns of two moose were found recently by w. l.. Springsteen in the tundra near Nome river. The horns were covered by growth of moss few inches below the surface and willows grew above them. How long they had lain there none can tell. From the way in which the antlers were locked together it was evident that the monarchs of the northern plains had probably died in mortal combat. No bones were found. The Eskimos of Point Hope say that the moose disappeared from that section about fifty years ago.

4 Lesson in Mining
A lode is streak, as sure as you're
 born:

A lode is a streak, as sure as you're
 born:
 A dip is a pitch of the same; A big bunch of rock, that spoils the
 pay shoot,
 Is called a horse in the vein. A hanging walls the top, you know Or roof, of leads in place, The foot walls just the floor of them,r Or the bottom, bed or base. An incline shaft is one that's sunk Down on the leads own pitch, A straight one just don't seem to care Bout strikin' ore that's rich. A crosscut runs to tap the vein5 From point that's picked as best. A tunnels about the same old thing, So we'll let that subject rest. A drift is a tunnel that follows lead, Not down but in on the level, A stope's hole where ore was mined; Now. don't that beat the devil? A winnze is sort of a shaft, you see, That starts from level below, And why they picked that name for It Is more, my friend than l know. A raise is made to connect two levels Or to strike the shoot overhead; And the face of drift is the end of
 the thing:
 And so, we'll say, enough said.

They Saw Roosevelt.

A number Of Ardmore people, includ-
ing Mr.. and Mrs. c. p. Van Denberg,
Mr.. and Mrs. c. o. Bum and others
went to Sherman yesterday to see the
president. From all accounts the
demonstration was the greatest they
ever saw and those who made the trip
seemed greatly pleased.
T. A. Thurmond, c. d Wortham, j.
y. Dodson were also there. MIR. Thur
mond said that the crowd was very
large and that all trains into that city
were heavily loaded. \ Texas and Pa
cihc train, after the ceremonies were
over, stalled on account of the crowd.
Marshal Colbert rode in the parade
and was in command of the Rough
Riders.
The president sat in his carriage,
hat in hand, bowling his acknowledge
ments TO the acclaim Of welcome.
When the carriages turned ont OF Null
berry street into Travis street, and the
sight of $500 college students and pub
lie school children caught his eyes,
simultaneously with the. pendant
streamer declaring There Is No Race
Suicide Here, the president rose from
his seat and clapped his hands. Thous-
ands of childish voices rang out in
cheers and thousands of flags began
to wave.
The president waved his hat in re-
turn and in their frenzy Of happiness
at being thus especially recognized Il
required the efforts of hundreds OF
adults ,as well as officers, to stop the
spontaneous rush of tne children to-
ward and presidents carriage
and the president looked for
all the world like he regretted
the interference and stood up and look
ei back and waved his hat and hands
until the surging multitude which fell
in behind him had hidden the children,
and the deafening cheers of the thous-
ands of men and women at Federal
Place drowned out the children's
voices.

Dr. Thomas Darlington, commits ion.
or Of health. tonight announced tIat
the most drastic Methods mad been &C.
tormined upon TO stamp out the dis
ease. In every case where permission
can be obtained disinfectants will be
resortad to, as Is done in cases Of the
most malignant contagious diseases.
Dr. Darlington says that isolation may
soon be found necessary. Not even
smallpox or yellow fever Is so terri.
flying or so deadly in It's results.
For hundreds Of years meningitis,
.under different names ct used 10 be
called the black death, later spotted
fever has swept various parts OF the
world in epidemics, and yet modern
science 81 no nearer 10 a remedy than
were the practitioners in the middle
ages.
All that the Darlington commission
has discovered is that the malady is
contagious. II is supposed that the
communication is by a germ through
the nose. Even the nature Of the germ
is uncertain. The New York investiga
tion has narrowed the possible micro
bes to three kinds.
Observation of scores Of cases in
New York recently have shown that
| meningitis is a most inconsistent NAL
adv. Sometimes , patient RECEIVERS
| quickly from a violent attack. Anoth-
er victim will linger for weeks through
what seems like a mild case, and then
| expire. Old and young alike are al
| hicted and the fact that the homes OF
the wealthy are invaded would seem
10 refute the idea that the germ has its
origin in filth. Experts can offer no
explanation Of the fact that in this
warm, dry weather the epidemic is
spreading. \ few weeks ago its prev
a!enCe was attributed TO dampness and
the filth in the streets.
The helplessness Of the modern
science in coping with the malady Is
strikingly Illustrated in the case OF
Mr.. Potter Three of the most emf
nent doctors in New York were in con
stant attendance upon him all through
his Illness They could not make the
slightest progress toward curing him.
Toward the last all their efforts were
given up to relieving the acute pain he
experienced at frequent intervals.
In the case of the Rev. Father Ed
win NJ Sweeney. who is also sufferer
from meningitis, the physicians now
find ground for hope 1t was said to-
night that the pastor seems on the
road to recovery.
