of the utmost sternness.

the Junior, quite as much in earnest as his

argument.
"Neither of us could be guilty of stealing so
small sum-" said the Senior, who evidently
considered himself and his associate entirely
exonerated
"Brother Bookkeeper," the chief interposed,
at this point.
"Right Worthy Senior Partner" replied
the scribe and treasurer.
''You will give Brother Statesmen all the
information you have in regard to the rob-

The Messenger bowed, as though he had no
intention to disobey the order of the chief OF
the lodge, and then marched in right angles
and straight lines to the other end OF the
apartment.

Junior Partner.
Bryan bowed, and marched to the place of
the Senior Statesmen, where. as in all his
wand he carried, and which was part of the
properties of the lodge just procured.

addressed.
Brother Senior Salesman, the safe of the

When Doctor Warburton and his brother

Not understanding the words of the familiar
old song, they had attributed both them and
the: singer to be altogether supernatural. and
fled in consequence.
Graphically, Peter told the story (leaving
out his own lack of courage), and wound up
by saying:
"Miss Chryssy. sir, just stood there and
sang like an angel, and the bandits run like
mad, for they thought the girl a vision from

the Messenger and Porter were engaged in
putting up at the inner door what looked like
a gridiron, for it was composed of wooden
bars painted black in imitation of iron. 1t

Dawson and Fairbanks are the
two great civil rivals of the north
land. Both of these cities expect to
have a great exhibit at the Alaska

I'm 1909, and the exhibit of each city
will be assembled with the view of
showing the world that it surpasses
its northland rival in trade, gold

in fact every other phase of nature
and line OF endeavor by which men
are wont to Judge a city.
IL is natural that the climatic RI
valy between these two places
should be bitter. Both are situated
n few miles north OF the cath de-
gree of north latitude and there is
yet a question as to which Is the
furtherest north.
Each city has enjoyed this sum-
mer. q particular triumph In the
matter of vegetable growths. About
a month ago Gus Johnson of Daw-
son produced several fine ears of
corn which he announced had been
grown in Dawson garden and were
the first ever grown In the north
land. The Dawson newspapers took
this up and demonstrated how fine
and mild n summer climate Dawson
had, how that even delicate southern
corn could be grown there. And
Fairbanks gnashed its teeth with
jealousy and muttered Walt.
And now a month later Il Is Fair
banks turn to crow, for on August
10, Paul Rickert of that city. a gar
dener, announced that he had In his
garden some fine watermelons on the
point OF ripening. Next day they
were pulled and placed on the Fair
banks market and were sold for
fabulous sums. For they were un-
the first melons ever |
grown In either Alaska or Yukon.
Both cities have several expert |
gardeners and the rivalry has now
reached the stage at which mighty |
efforts may be expected next year by
the gardeners OF either cities. This
years efforts have resulted In a
draw. But wait TIL you see us

EGGS FROM NEBRASKA.
Oregon Markets Are Supplied From
State 1000 Miles Away.


From faraway Nebraska, some
1000 miles from Oregon, there is a
revival in the egg business, due to
the heavy purchases being made
from Pacific coast points, including
Portland, says Portland market re-
port.
Eggs are now coming to the Port
land market from Nebraska by ex-
press with charges of $4.45 a case
or about . cents dozen. These
eggs are brought TO Portland within
four days of the time they are gath
cred. thus putting them in exactly
the same class as the local goods be-
cause large per cent Of the home
stocks do not reach this market for
over a week after they are gather
ed.
Even with this high express
charge the shippers of the eggs are
able to maintain a handsome profit
and while the shipments by express
are an experiment, they Will likely
be continued during the winter
months, when eggs always reach an
exorbitant figure on the Pacihc
coast
Several local people have received
the express stock from the east and
pronounce them fully equal to out
home guaranteed stock. one eggs
house on Front street Is said to be
receiving supplies regularly each
day and is selling them at 80 cents
a dozen.
For the purpose of making a fur
ther profit on the eastern shipments
some of the handlers who do not re-
ceive enough Oregons to note. quote
them out at so " cents and 35 cents
a dozen. However. those who have
local eggs are still selling them at
80 cents. but the market will prob
ably go to a higher point.
