 Walter s. Coutant has sold out his newspaper at Ketchikan and will move to Juneau. Ex-Gov. Swineford will again be the sole monarch in the Ketchikan district.
 The people of Fairbanks are en- deavoring to secure the establishment of an army post at their place. It is pointed out that with the building of railroad it will be the strategic position of the Alaskan interior. It is also the center of the most populous region of Alaska. The establishment of an army post at Fairbanks would probably result in the abandonment of the post at Gibbon. At least not so many troops would be maintained there.
 Fairbanks will forever stand out sipgly and alone as the only mining camp on earth where everything turns out better than anybody had expected says the Rampant News. Nobody be- lieved there was anything there in the first place. About two years ago Cinema man said there was nothing to it but "Vickersham und vind." People innumerable have said since then that one creek supports the whole camp. But they seem to go right on uncover ing the pay, and it looks like it will have to be acknowledged that it is really great camp regardless of what people have thought and said.
 A fellow down in Delaware is going around blowing about eating fifteen raw eggs and washing them down with bar of soap. Pshaw! That's nothing. We know of man in Atlin who drank eleven 'high- balls" thirteen "steins," and half-doZen cocktails" for an ap- petizer. He went home and ate two platesful of food his partner had cook ed for the hounds. Just before retiring he took couple of moth balls in mis- take for headache waters. He woke early in the a. m. to get drink. His partner had put couple of yeast cakes in tin, to dissolve over night. He drank this and went back to bed. He rose shortly after noon and said he'd the 'swellest" time of his life. Next Atlin Claim.
 They want his money. In 1898, or '99 the Swedish Mission Society sent one Peter Anderson as missionary to the Eskimos at Golovin Bay, Alaska. The missionary business for which Peter appears not to have been particu- larly we'll adapted, didn't agree with him, and he forsook the calling for that of prospector in which he amass- ed fortune of several hundred thou sand dollars. Now, the society has obtained judgment for S25o,ooO i against him, on the ground that being sent out by it he was it's agent, and that consequently it is entitled to all his gains. What the society would have sued him for had he confined his oper- ations to the saving of Eskimo souls with as little success as has thus far attended the efforts of the average Alaska missionary can only be guessed. However, some missionary societies, like some of their agents, appear to be ] possessed of "itching palms. EEK.

Eevelonina the Sudan.

There is talk in England of the pro posed developments of the natural re- sources of the Sudan through scien- tific exploration. Immense forests line the banks of the Blue Nile along it's upper reaches, extending to the Abyssinian frontier. The ebony tree is met with along that river and also near the Sobat. Along the White Nile the india rubber creeper, valuable source of rubber, abounds. There are large forests in the Bahr-el- GhaZal province and gold has been mined in some of the mountains.

COW TURNED THE FAUCET. Sagacious Animal Saved Herself :
 Long Walk to the River.

ICf1 Vdlk lO tiiS niNSis
 The county poor farm has, accord ing to the assertion of the inmates, the cleverest COW Ill the state. says the New York World correspondent at Portland, Ore. The animal is an old red Jersey that has been on the farm for years. The matron at the farm last summer discovered that the fau- set on the hydrant in the back yard was frequently turned on, but con stant watching failed to disclose the miscreant.
 The same trouble occurred again this summer The matron noticed the water was turned on about the same time ever afternoon. While she was >watching she saw the old red Jersey come leisurely up the road, into the back yard and walk straight up tG the hydrant The COW pushed the faucet with her nose. but it did not seem to work. So she tried her horns, and when that method failed, opened her mouth. took hold of the faucet and turned it.
 Miss Bossy then drank her fill of cold water and turned away toward the green fields, evidently pleased that she did not have to go quarter of a mile to the river to satisfy her thirst.
 The next day the COW seemed much puzzled to find a new faucet and ap- peared dejected when, after half an hour of hard work, she could not get her drink. Then the matron had a watering place made and the cold water was allowed to run at all times

Life of Hcrses and pcg..

The statement has been made that horses average from 20 to 30 years O. life, and dogs from 12 to If years. A French encyclopaedia credits the horse with 30 to 40 years, the dog with 20 to "A. There is a sufficient range of uncertainty in these figures to cause doubt whether detailed study has been made of the subject.
