the clash between twenty-doll dia- monds and shoe-string millionaires was too strong on an Alaska inhabitants mind. Furthermore, if the human course of events have changed SO as to make diamonds worth twenty dollars, and shoe strings are the makings of millionaires, it is time for every honest man to personally protect himself by destroying such fortune-making evils as are in his possession. Not being trou- bled with ownership of twenty dollar gold piece, he placed, seconded and car ried the motion to destroy his shoe strings. Not daring to enter cabin in such frame of mind, he charters 8 bed for the night in town hotel. After dis robing and carefully laying trousers and socks on nearby chair, he proceeded to build bonfire of loose paper and carry out the destruction of evil posses sions. Careful not to destroy the prop erty of others, he finally succeeded in burning the shoe strings in his shoes to cinders. Brave fellow! Self sacrifice is life's sweetest gift.
 ! The conditions of the carpet sur rounding his chartered bed had the ap- pearance of the relics of campaign bon tire-nothing left but pile of ashes, with a pair of calf shoes utterly stripped of its riggings.
 Oh for pair of felt shoes! What fire!
 What fools we mortals be! A joke at personal expenses is ofttimes disastrous.
 Because of these accidents and self sacrifice, two of Rampart's prominent gentlemen are nicknamed for life namely, "Shoe String Kid" and "Dia- mOnd Louie."

Saltwater, Minn., Nov. 8, 1905. Editor Yukon Valley News.
 have been visiting relatives in diff ferent parts of Minnesota and taking in the sights in the land of plenty, and am now in Saltwater. I am among the grafters, they say; but I think there is no place like Alaska at present, and that is what everybody says that I come across. They seem to think Alaska has got good future before it; but the thing that we need most just now is a railroad from Valdez or Seward to some point on the Yukon river, so that we will be able to get out and in any time in the year. The way it is now we feel as much that we are shut out from Alaska as those in Alaska that they are shut in from the outside; besides the wasting of so much time by starting out so early in the season and returning so late in the spring.
 l am about done visiting and done with my business. would like to start back for Rampant within a month. I feel like ought to be at home. If 1 could go by rail from Valdez to the Yu- kon river it would be a big help to me and to all those that are going back over the ice, and there is going to be very large number going back that way after staying awhile in Seattle.

 Christmas night was not fair illus. tration of Rampart's even climatic con. ditions.
 Without further explanation as to the why's and wherefore's one thought will explain all. E
 Seated around substantial stove loaded to it's capacity with birch wood was certainly Christmas gift in itself. Varied are the conversations and the after effect of numerous well-told stories.
 The banner story of the evening and it's after effect was related by one of Rampart's lead-pencil miners. He paid visit last fall to his friends on the out side, and from the improvement in our story-tell his associates must have been masters in the art of chin music.
 His experience as told runs something i'll this manner:
 ''I was dining with prominent belle of Seattle, and her impression of me was, Rolling in money I had the "price' and noise for after-dinner amuse- ments. My plan through life has always been this: The impression that you have money causes one thought to enter ones mind, money or not, Go as far as you can.' Seated among surroundings that were strange to me, my natural instincts was to observe the actions of others. My observation left one very strong impression on my mind, Not to be outdone, 1 would surely do as others, Tip the waiter,' which as- sure you was extreme pleasure. After making as much noise as possible with my loose change, l grasped what l thought was silver dollar and handed it to the waiter. During the passage from my hand to his, by chance l caught glimpse of something that, to my utmost surprise, resembled the pre- cious metal-which, the Lord knows, l have toiled day after day for aocumu- lating. The gentleman of the white apron seemed embarrassed, and after deliberation said: I beg pardon, this is $20 gold piece; have you not made Il mistaken I never for moment over looked the opportunity to shine in the eyes of my fair companion, and said, off-handedly: No, no, old chap just buy yourself diamond.'"
 The look on all faces seated around the flaming birch displayed an amused if not doubtful expression.
 After a short deliberation, one gentle man arose, and laying his hand on the -teller's shoulder, said:
 "Kind friend, tell me, is that on the square? Buy yourself diamond on twenty dollars? trust you will not allow me to go to bed tonight with the utmost thought in my mind of buying a diamond on twenty ease note. tr
 ''lf those are the existing conditions outside, Alaska has lost it's charm for me. Pardon me, friend. but the big laugh i- now on."
