| Fred Sandstrom. formerly resident
of Astoria but who now makes Fair.
haven, Alaska, his home. is here for a
visit to old friends and he will remain
in this section of the country the great.
er part of the winter.
To bear witness 10 the fact that there
is plenty of gold in the Nome district
Mr.. Sandstrom exhibits couple Of bot.
ties filled with the coarse gold that was
gathered up on his claim at fairhaven
and he modestly admits that there i
more where that came from.
Mr. Sandstrom went north when the
gold fever was at its height, and with
the exception Of occasional visits to the
outside world he has lived in the land
Of gold and ie for seven wears. In 1900,
in company with u. r. Foster, Of Los
| Angeles. he located the first claim in
'h' I"hh hhaNfH ulNNlN'i io' HilHN H'itu
of Nome and the partners have worked
the claim ever since. Last year about
$4,000 worth of machinery was placed
on the property for hydranlicking and
rext year between $4,000 and 100000
worth of machinery will be- added To
the outfit.
Hydraulic mining is the order Of the
day in the Nome country said Mr.
Sand.trom 10 an A>torian Reporter.
Most of the properties are worked on
large scale, although there are still
many claims owned by men who are
making good wages doing work in the
old way. \ short time before sailed
from Nome a rich strike was made with.
in ten miles Of the city and the men
who were fortunate enough to stake out
claims were taking out from $40 to
500 per pan.
"Mrs. Foster, the wife Of my partner
established a mission at Fairhaven in
1901 and she still maintains the place
at her own expense.
II shall return to my claim in the
spring. and we will have between $50. |
900 and $GO,OOO worth Of machinery on
the ground for work next season. We
have good climate in that country !
and although the days are short in the
winter pople soon grow accustomed
to the darkness. There il no discom.
fort in living in the country now, for
in Nome and other places there is elec-
tric light and railways have been built
to all the principal camps. There are
plenty Of provisions to be had at reas.
enable prices.
During the summer months men are |
paid IS per day and board for their
work and there are many Of them draw
ing the same wages during the winter
months. There were no idle men in the |
camps this year and every person who
wanted TO work was able to secure EN-.
ployment. The gold that will comc
out of Nome next year will consider.
ably exceed in value that shipped out |
this year. This is due to the fact that a
grpad deal Of machinery will be ship.
peed in next spring anl the mines will
be operated on larger scale than ever
beforee."

Prayed for What Was Best.

Some sixty years ago there lived
in Gorham, Me-, quaint character
Parson Bradley. He was an itinerant
preacher Of the Methodist church,
and was noted for his original and
familiar expressions in prayers.
Upon one occasion he was preach.
ing in North Yarmouth, a township
near Gorham, but not its equal as a
farming community. There had been
dry weather and some one requested
the parson to pray for rain.
In his prayer he said: "Oh, Lord
these people say they need rain.
say they need manure. Give them
what they need most"

The Ten Trails

Once there were two Indians who
went out together to hunt. Hapeda
was very strong and swift and a Won
derful bowman. Chatun was much
weaker and carried a weaker how;
but he was very patient
AS they went through the hills they
came on the fresh track of a small
deer. Chatun said: my brother,
shall follow that"
But Hapeda said: "You may If you
like, but a mighty hunter like me wants
bigger game
So they parted.
Hapeda went on for an hour or
more and found the track of ten large
elk going different ways. He took the
trail of the largest and followed for
a long way, but not coming up with
1t, he said THAT one is evidently
travelling. l should have taken one OF
the others
So he went back to the place where
he first found it, and took up. the
trail of another. After hunt of over
an hour in which he failed to get a
shot, he said: II have followed an
other traveller. I'll go back and take
up the trail of one that is feeding"
But again, after a short pursuit,
he gave up that one to go back and
try another that seemer more prom
Using. Thus he spent a whole day
trying each of the trails for short
time, and at night came back to camp
with nothing to find that Chatun,
though his inferior in all other ways,
had proved wiser He had stuck dog
gedly to the trail of the one little deer,
and now had it's carcass safely In
camp.
Moral: The game is always at the
end of the trail.

scRAPPLE MADE BY A TRUST
Former Pennsylvania Dish Now In
Very General Use.

"Scrapple used to be made alto
gether by the Pennsylvania farmers.
but 1t is now made practically alto
gether by a trust, the Philadelphia
Scrapple trust, which turns out thou
sands of pounds daily from the first
frost till the spring thaw."
The speaker, a Philadelphia butch
er, knew his subject. He resumed:
"Our scrapple plant is uptown.
Trains Of cars containing live pigs
come in at one end of it. Out at the
other end pass trains Of cars contain
ing pale scrapple in silver colored
tins.
This delectable stuff is made Of
pigs heads, livers, pork, sage, thyme,
and dozen other ingredients. The
meat is first boiled on tho bone In
watts as large as swimming pools.
Then It is cut up into chunks the size
of your fist by rows of bare-armed ex.
rerts with scimiters. Then it is ground
to gray powder in steam power
grinding machines.
"The gray powder is taken to a Sc
cret room. There, under the direc.
ton of the mixer, a high salaried Off
cial, it is seasoned and touched up Ia
many unknown ways. Afterward it is
boiled in enormous boilers.

would perhaps supplant pie as the ma.

SAVED HALF MILLION DOLLARS
When Looked Into, Occurrence Is Not
So Remarkable.

When Looked Into, Occurrence Is Not
So Remarkable.
The accumulation of half a million
dollars from a grammar school prin-
cipal's salary, ranging from $1,000 to
$4,000 a year, for fifty years, is the
remarkable achievement of Prof. AL
pheus Du Bots of New York.
1t Is an achievement as mysterious
to the ordinary mind as is the rapid
accumulation of millions by some pub
lie officials whose salaries are less
than their cost of living.
Three thousand dollars for fifty
years aggregates E150,0 00-$350, 900
less than a half-million.
Yet reference to the interest table
will show that the feat which seems
so extraordinary, If not impossible
may be accomplished very easily.
Nothing accumulates faster than
money at compound interest.
Ten dollars saved every year and in.
vested at per cent will amount to
$1,000 in thirty-five years, and $4,000
laid aside from a salary Of $4,000 and
allowed to accumulate for forty years
will grow to about $250,000. Another
ten years will put it very near the
half-million mark. Du Bots had the
advantage for many years of Z pei
cent legal interest.
So the wonder is, not that his mod
est salary proved the seed of big
fortune, but that any one well paid
for years should come to old age with
empty hands.
