THE GREATEST CROW BOOST.


 In Missouri, and Grove Is BIacl. With Them.
 What is said to be the greatest crow roost in the world is being demolished
 In Barton county, says the Kansas
 City Star. It is Haines grove, 8 miles
 northwest of Lamar The countless
 thousands of crows that spend the fall
 and winter at this place are making
 their last stand in great numbers.
 One tree where heretofore but doz-
 en birds would have roasted is now
 black with them as night approaches.
 The birds have difficulty in ohtain- roasting places. As a result the timber
 IS the scene of innumerable battles at night The crows keep up incessant
 calls and almost human screeches as
 lights for favorite limbs become des- perate. The continual fighting causes

 another and throughout the night one

The Denver Republican warns the Republican party of it's State to be con- servative, and points out the general opportunity that presents itself, as fol- lows: "The Democratic party, as such with the party machinery to uphold it., has nothing to look forward to, and a bleak past to contemplate. There can be no hope for the Patterson Democ- racy under the prevailing conditions The master of the crew is scanning the horizon for war clouds. While there is peace there is no hope for the party of discontent."

"Alva!" said |, much surprised.
She had not asked one of her own
friends; she had asked girl she

and that girl my partners daughter
"She was here yesterday morning,
Anita explained. And | now wondered
how much Alva there was In Anita s

why don't you take her down to

myself, and that game is friendly
Indifference"
Alva would be with her. So she
was secure for the present and my
mind was free for finance"
At that time the two most powerful
men in finance were Galloway and
Roebuck. In Spain l once saw a
fight between a bull and a tiger-or.

! rather the beginning of fight. They
were released into a huge iron cage
After circling it several times in the
same direction, searching for a way
out, they came face to face. The bull
tossed the tiger; the tiger clawed the
bull. The bull roared; the tiger
screamed. Each retreated to his own
side of the cage. The bull paved and
snorted as if he could hardly wait
to get at the tiger; the tiger crouched
and quivered and glared murderously,
as if he were going instantly to spring
upon the bull. But the bull did not
rush, neither did the tiger spring.
That was the Roebuck- Galloway sit
uation.
How to bait Tiger Galloway to at
tack Bull Roebuck-that was the prob
lem 1 must solve, and solve straight
way. If l could bring about war be
tween the giants, spreading confusion
over the whole field of finance and
filling all men with dread and fear,
there was a chance, that In the con-
fusion | might bear off part OF my
fortune. Certainly, conditions would
result in which l could more easily
get myself intrenched again; then, too.
there would be by no means small
satisfaction in seeing Roebuck clawed
and bitten in punishment for having
plotted against me.
Mutual fear had kept these two

of the few great controllers who de-

suspicion; not a day passes without
conflicts of interest that adroit di-

conclude that l must possess a
strength of which l was unaware, and
which stirred even Roebuck's fears
But what could it be?
Besides Langdon and Roebuck and
me there were six principals in the
proposed Coal combine, three of them
richer and more influential in finance
than even Langdon. all of them ex-
cept possibly Dykeman, the lawyer,
or navigating officer of the combine,

none of these men was being assailed

myself, and I felt that if could an

quests from eccentric patrons for a

last few months inquiries have simply

I am inclined to think that this craze
for teeth has been stimulated by the
report that Washington's false teeth

Questioned if Dell
 Passed Through Tanana

Regarding the statement printed in this paper last week that Herman Dell, wanted for assault on Wally Laboski, was seen in Panama on his way to the Innoko, it is certain that Commissioner w. B. Ballou believes the statement er- roneous, and consequently that injustice was done to Deputy Marshal Nautier at Panama.
 On the commissioner return from Panama last week he said there are sev- eral persons in Panama who know Dell and they saw nothing of him. He also said Deputy Marshal Nautier had been on the alert and has no reason to be- lieve the accused man went through that place.
 Of course it is not conclusive proof that because Dell was not seen or heard of by the deputy, he was not in Panama at all. several people might have seen the man and refrained from telling the oiiicer-ircm fear of being held as wit nesses or numerous other reasons.
 It is practically certain that "Windy" Williams claimed to have talked with Dell in Panama, just as this paper stated {; and it is current report that people Toss the divide believe Dell went to the Iunoko.
 Now since the man is gone the matter i' of n iuor importance anyway. It does not necessarily follow that the Panama deputy was lax in his duty, even if it is a fact that prli was in his town.

UNDER the present law the militia of the several states may be ordered from one state to another or compelled to undertake any service obligatory on the United States regulars. This places in easy call strong force if needed for coast defense. It has lately been stated that the state militia %ill soon number over 100000, giving the national gov ernment virtual standing army of half million men. This has become a cause for alarm to some, who fear that so great force may prove an incentive to ''strong" military action at home.

PERSONAL ANNOUNCEMENT.

In announcing the early discontinua- tion of this publication, the opportunity is taken to thank d generous public for liberal patronage and warm friend ship. Flush times and dull times, the paper has done a good business when its limited field is considered and it's short comings have uniformly been condoned and it's merits extolled The press, es- pecially, in such parts of the States as the paper has gone as well as in Alaska, has been complimentary to an eXcep- tional degree This has been more fully appreciated because the man who has made the paper is more of a printer than an editor and also because the work of printing the paper has been so exacting that the editorial duties could receive but slight attention. Noth ing has been written for the paper: such original matter as has appeared in it was simply set up at the printers case, without copy and usually without notes. Under such conditions the re- suits have been unsatisfactory to myself Indeed, the principal reason for sus- pension is that it is physically impossi ble to continue doing enough work to make the publication even passably creditable.
 The paper is finishing it's third year What it's influence in the community has been is indeterminate. It is true, however, that at its inception uo man or woman's character in the camp was safe from attack by publication then existing here, and the people were di- viled into factions and hatred and spite and malice ruled. such condition does no; exist today. ii the Yukon Valley News aiIed ever so slightly in the betterment it- labor has not been in vain. |.

Great Storm at Sea.

Vera Cruz, Mexico, Oct.-The worst storm ever known on this coast has just visited here and has flooded a large section of the city including the Custom House, the main floor of which is three feet under water and in which are floating goods and merchandise valued at thousands of dollars. The loss resultant upon the storm will be very great. The storm was in the na- ture of terrific cloudburst. No fatal fties have as yet been reported, but several houses have collapsed by hav- ing their foundations washed away, and it is feared that when reports come in from the agricultural districts it will be found that heavy loss to life and property has resulted.

Naval Officer Shoots Self.

Annapolis, Md, Oct.-Second Lieu tenant James N. Sutton, Jr., United States Marine Corps, is dead at the Naval Academy from a 32-calibre bull let fired into the right side of the head. A board of inquiry detailed by Super. intendent Badger of the Naval Acad- emy has prepared a report which will be submitted to the Navy Department. From the best information obtained, Lieutenant R. E. Adams and E. P. Walker, returned to the marine camp at 1:30 o'clock Sunday morning, af- ter having attended a dance given at the academy Shortly afterward, Sut- ton is said to have been discovered on the road near by with revolver in his right hand and several fellow officers attempted to disarm him. This they succeeded in doing, but not be- fore the weapon was discharged and Boelker received slight wounds. Quick as flash, it is said, Sutton took from his blouse another revolver and with this fired the fatal shot into his brain. Lieutenant Sutton was 22 years old and the son of James N. Sutton, of Portland, Oregon. He was formerly a midshipman of the present senior -rarre. but resigned In his third class year.
