Trapping Not Good.

s. R. Hudson and Maurice Farrell came in last week from trapping ex- petition which extended well up toward the head of Mike Hess river.
 As far as trapping is concerned the trip was nearly complete failure. After the grub supply was practically exhaust ed some marten tracks were encoun- tered, but the men had to hurry away to replenish their stock of provisions All trappers have reported a scarcity of fur the past winter-some claiming that the marten have migrated, some that they are hiding beneath the unusually deep snow, some that they have died off from disease, and some that the lynxes have eaten them, and all agree ing that they are very hard to find
 Messrs. Hudson and Farrell were in the vicinity where the Witherspoon branch of the geologic survey came to grief last fall; but careful search failed to reveal their caches or anything whatever pertaining to the outfit.

ANOTHER SPRING
 UP RAY RIVER

John Minook and his family returned a few days ago from Ray River hot springs.
 During his stay on Ray river Minook visited hot spring some ten miles higher up stream than the group which have been made camping place by numerous whites and natives the past winter.
 Heretofore but little was known of the upper spring. Minook says it boils out of the rocks on the river bank high enough from the stream to admit of the hot water being readily piped to any desirable nearby place. There is no snow on the ground for radius of half mile around the spring. Ray river forms an open lake or pool there of great extent. and withal the sur roundings are most inviting.
 since the trail has become better broken natives have gone over it be- tween Rampant and the springs in two sho,t days travel.
 Dr. IIuslgin proposes to visit the springs again before She snow disaP- pears.

UNCERTAIN SEASON
 REGARDING MAIL

The season of uncertainty in mail matters is here.
 After April the contract calls for semi-monthly instead of weekly ser vice.
 Mail leaves Panama today bound up the Yukon to the outside. This mail may be dispatched from Rampant ahead of the regular time Sunday on hurry up orders. The next mail after this is due to leave Panama April l5, but will probably be started ahead of time.
 All the weekly mails in transit be- tween Panama and Eagle before April I keep on on the regular winter schedule till they reach their destination.
 Last year the last mail to come over the ice left Eagle April 13 and reached Rampant April 26

WORSHIP SERPENTS.
Place in India Where There Are
Thousands of Shrines
Set UP.

Trava1core, on the southwest coast
of India, is notable as n of the few
places where. the natives still regard
serpents as deities.
There are thousands Of shrines in
the district" said an Anglo-Indian,
where the superstitious natives make
offerings of food, burn candles and
CHAT hymns to gain the favor of their
scaly idols.
Some of these shrines harbor
swarms of snakes, which increase and
multiply without hindrance. Snake
bites, however, are very rare. Treated
so well, the reptiles become docile and
harmless, and children play fearlessly
in the groves where the snakes
abound.
when. however, as sometimes hap
pens, the neighborhood of a shrine be-
comes so overrun with reptiles that
there is great danger of treading on
them, the surplus snakes are reverent-
ly removed by the priests to other less
crowded localities"

THE SPIRIT OF AUSTRALIA.
Care-Free Democracy Is the Rule
Beyond the Metropolitan
Cities.

TO catch the true spirit of Australia
one u pass beyond the metropol-
itan cities, which are but the gates
OF the continent, and where life is
not strikingly dissimilar to that in
many other places inhabited by the
same race, except that democracy SUI
preme has rendered it more care-free,
writes Michael White, in Four-Track
News. The Australian, who is a
great lover of sport and outdoor life,
sees to it that overwork does not de-
prive him of either. That, perhaps, is
the reason why he is robust in ply
sique, and does not give one the i'm
preston of being subject to nervous
disorder. In a general way it may
be said that the agricultural part Of
the country forms a belt around the
coast, broader by some hundreds of
miles in the east than the west. From
this region in good years many mil
lion bushels of wheat of the best quail
ity are shipped to England. Then you
enter the domain of forest and plain
whence comes the wool, of which the
clip in one year has reached a value
of SIS, 900, 900 for the single colony of
Queensland.

WHEN HANGING PICTURES.

Study suitability Of subjects when
assigning pictures to their position,
as a picture that is suitable in one
Don may be entirely out of keeping
with the general character and pur-
pose of another.
Do not crowd pictures. Too few all
preferable to too many, and plair.
spaces are restful in their effect.
Oil paintings, water colors, and line
drawings show the artists work aid
what he meant to depict much better
when hung fiat against the wall-not
tilted.
Never hang a glossy picture opposite
a window, and never hang any picture
so high that it is hard to look at.
Do not hang pictures in pairs, and
do not hang two from one hook if the
wire on both shOws-the Oblique lines
made by the two wires are very OBJ
jectionable.
Ows should be hung with the shadows,
away from the window, to make the
shadows seem natural ones.
Pictures are less apt to get skewed
when busting, or by other means, if
hung on two hooks instead of one. The
lines of the wire are less Objectionable,
too, as they are horizontal and per-
pendicular, as are the lines of the
frame. When the wires can be entire
ly behind the picture, out of sight, the
best effect is secured.-Prairie Farmer.

Fine to Take Away on a Summer Va

of Expensive Laundress.

One of the most acceptable pres
ents to make for your friends summer
trip is the case for a very small iron.
ing board, with the little board in
side. Get a smooth board about IA
inches long by five inches wide, and
cover it with a thick soft flannel, plac-
ing over this a piece of fine muslin.
Sew it On securely and smoothly.
Then cut your cover a little larger
than the board, and in the form of a
long envelope, with the opening and

bon or GALLON, and make a button
hole in the flap, with a button to cor.
respond on the cover. Put, also, on
the cover q pocket, large enough to
hold a small ironholder, made of
ticking, lined with thick flannel, and
covered with the same material as
the cover, which should be of a bright,
lowered c%retOnne. Small charcoal

carried and heated. With this outfit

MAKING RELIEF T
Western Railroads Came to the Aid
Of Kansas When the Crops
Failed.

One of the great grain-producing
states of the union is Kansas. Under
normal conditions it sends enormous
quantities of grain to other states.
About four years ago, writes Samuel
Spencer, in Railway Rates and In.
dustrial Progress" in the Century.
the weather completely reversed this
situation, causing a failure OF the corn
crop; Kansas had to buy corn for it's
own consumption from Iowa, Illinois
and other favored regions, in order
that it's cattle might be fed and put
upon the market. Low emergency
rates were promptly established, and
the remarkable spectacle vas pre-
sented Of corn moving w~est-bOund in
large quantities to Kansas. On an
other occasion, when the weather
went to the other extreme, with the
result that the corn crop was unusual.
ly large and the price unusual.
ly low, Nebraska farmers had to
accept a price below the cost
of production. To afford relief to
those farmers, the Nebraska railroads
and their eastern connections made a
temporary reduction in rates that
the farmers so per cent. more
for their corn.
