GALE.

If the article reproduced in this paper from the Juneau Transcript proves to be true, it may lessen Gales influence very materially in Alaska if not in Washington. Power to deceive and willingness to betray-a crooked tongue in straight face-are the essentials for good detective, but not for congress sional delegate.
 There will be few to believe the story offhand. The Transcript had not a word to say as to the manner of man Fay, it's informant, is. It is strange if the story is true that it has not been more generally printed and so verified that there is no room for doubt. We don't believe it.

considering that so many of the best-to- do miners have gone outside for the winter. Mir. Manley having acquired a large amount of the best ground on the other side of the divide, of course the supplies for that much of the district will be furnished by himself But busi- ness men claim that increased develop ment all over the district will offset the trade diverted by the Hot Springs post and Rampant trade will advance rather tLan decline. Time will settle the matter, and settle it to the advantage of those who dig the gold.
 It certainly seems a simpler and cheaper process to land goods at Ram part on the Yukon than it is to land them on the Panama, where they are yet six miles from the depot at the Hot Springs; but tricks of the carriers trade might be made to reverse nat ural law.
 A possible future contingency that has to do with the case is the extension of the Panama Mines Railway trifing distance to the Yukon. That would establish the supply point on the Yukon for all that territory lying between the great river and the coast range.

CANS WINS

Nelson and Cans fought AZ rounds in 2 hours and AS minutes at Goldfelds, New, Sept. 3. It was the greatest glove battle ever witnessed. Cans showed himself to be the greatest man of his weight in the world. He fought like a demon; so did Nelson.
 The fight wound up with Nelson's face beaton to a jelly and his skin torn to shreds. There was not a piece of skin from his waist

IS RAMPART DEAD?
From the Dawson News.


 The town of Rampant is doomed as a trading center. This is the report brought by recent arrivals from the lower river. They say that Frank Man. ley's new town, on the Panama river, will be nearer to the big creeks of the Rampant district which are forging to the head of late, and that the trade nat urally will go to the new town.
 The hot springs, on the Panama, will be the place of the new town. From there into What Cheer Bar and Thanks giving creek is only eighteen miles, as against thirty from Rampant. Manley will open stores and other accommoda- tions at the springs, and already is building fine road across the stretch. He is putting in 25O tons of supplies there this fall.
 Rampant still will have Minook and it's tributaries nearer than Hot Springs, but Manley's town will so split the trade of the place, it is claimed, that the old town will receive a tremendous set back. It is said by the recent arrivals that Wesley Young, who went from Dawson with stock of goods last year for Rampant, is about to close his Ram part store for fear that Manley's scheme is going to ruin the trade of Rampant town.
 Manley already has built eighteen miles of road from the springs toward What Cheer, and will erect stores, mills and other conveniences.
 L. S. Robe, formerly mining engineer at Dawson for the N. A. T. X T. Co.,, is in charge of the survey of the big system of ditch lines which Manley is preparing for the What Cheer Bar property. Manley recently purchased the What Cheer property in the Rampant district for $sO,OOO. He will hydraulic the bar. While called bar it virtually is an ancient river bed.
 The Manley ditch will carry twenty five sluiceheads of water, and, it is said, will give Manley absolute control of all the water in that district.

Tennyson is not tho only poet lau-

Southey relates ludlcrous scrape into
which he and Campbell fell one day in
the Quadrant. Campbell wished to
relieve poor woman and rushed into
the nearest shop to change a sovereign.
The shopkeeper was attending to GUS
toners and delayed to oblige him, and
the generous poet lost his temper.
Thcreupon the shopkeeper jumped to
the conclusion that he had two rosues
to deal with and rashly sent for the po-
lice. Campbell stood In helpless fury.

the constable that worthy. who happen

st. Napoleon.

Many people ignorant Of the true his.
tory Of the church will be scandalized
when they read the title Of this article.
Let them read 1t to the end. There
was In Corsica some hundred years
ago very rlous family called the Bo.
napartes. Their first child was born
on the 10th Of August, Assumption
day, and as he looked very small and
feeble they wanted him to be baptized
without delay. Their priest consented
to perform the ceremony. but as it was
customary to give to a child the name
Of the patron saint Of his or her birth
day the good priest could not and
would not call him Assumption Bona
parte." In his embarrassment he look
cd carefully over the "Livcs Of tho
Saints" and finally found the name OF
saint martyr who In the first centu-
ries Of the church had been stoned to
death on that very day Of Aug. Is. or
course neither Mr.. nor Mrs. Bonaparto
objected that their firstborn child
should be named Napoleon. having
thus the high patronage Of brave
martyr Of the early Christian church,

The torn vegetable has reference to
the whole OF any part Of plant culti-

'getablc doesn't always depend upon
cooking, for celery Is vegetable and
apples are fruit whether eaten raw or

to to be entitled to the term fruit, for
the method of its raising resembles
that Of fruit. But 1t Is usually called
vegetable, whether eaten raw or cook

Hind From Birth.

It would be Of great interest to know
how much Helen Keller, losing her
sight ut nineteen months, really retain
ed Of the sense Of sight. With Laura
Brldgman, woman OF much less in
tellect, there was evidently little or
nothing left, even as Il memory. With
her taste and smell were very feeble,
SO that communication With the world
was. indeed, through narrow pas
sage. Her sensitivcness to vibration
was so fine that without any trace OF
the sense Of hearing she was aware OF
the tolling Of bell. But her bioGra-
pher, giving us In detail the record Of
the slow steps Of her education, tells
us little Of what idea she was abe to
form Of things. 1t IS Schopenhaucr
who gives one hint Of what we Ill
want to know Of the born blind. He

robacco tho "Nationar Flowor."

Tobacco tho "Nationn1 Flower"
If tho great republic must have a
flower, why not adopt the tobacco
plant {Nicotiana tabacum)? 1t is M
tive Bf this country and was first
found in Virginia. There Is nothing
sectional OF local about the plant, be-
cause today it Is grown In most of the
states from Florida and Louisiana to
Connecticut and Is now used IN every
nation on tho globe, civilized and bar
barlan, If 1t Is possible to obtain 1T. 1t
Is not commonly known that the to-
bacco plant bears very pretty pink
blossom, which might come into the
flower gardens but for Its rank and
disagreeable odor. The Indian corn, or
maize, is another plant indigenous to
tho United States and was found in
use as food by the Indians from VIr-
ginia to Massachusetts. But if we
must have flower that is esteemed as
such without regard to any economic
considerations OF utilitarian qualities,
why not adopt the laurel Uaurus lati-

Why Cut GIasa Hpeoxa.

Cut glass makers explain why It Is
that there are frequent reports Of cut
glass suddenly breaking or crumbling
Oh table, shelf or sideboard In homes
and elsewhere, although the glass was
not In use. They assert that whenever
the tone Of any cut glass article comes
into contact with It's responsive chord
the life Of tho glass will 60 with the
tone, by which it Is affected, md the
glass collapses or crumbles. 1t is on
record a famous opera singer could
break cut glassware by reaching higl,

made In New York and Paris, and by
her singing she broke several pieces of
cut glassware. The tone Of a violin If
attuncd so as to be in true accord with

The White Headed BOY.

The phrase "his mothers white head

land. 1t appears In many of the Irish
fairy stories Of tho last century. Irish
mothers who knew good fairies always
kept tho secret for tho "white headed
boy" Of the family. Gerald Griffin In
ono Of his best short stories years ago
used tho phrase as one he had bor-
rowed from an old Celtic book.
