Hens Go Crazy.

AS all old prospectors will tell, and
it is expected that the most famous in
the history Of Alaska and Yukon will be
present at the Alaska-Yukon- Pacific
Exposition which will be held in Seat
tie from June l to October IS 1909,
the three months OF almost continuous
sunlight each summer in the North
land has an odd effect on most new
comers.
AS matter Of fact man accustom-
ed to seven hours sleep each night,
finds upon going to Alaska that he
cannot easily adjust himself to the
altered conditions. Most people get
sleepy when the dark comes, and do
not think OF sleeping in daylight. AS
a result men go day after day when
first in the north with little inclination
to sleep. A man has to train himself
in Alaska and Yukon to go to bed with
the sun shining high in the sky. Those
who need darkness to siumber comfort
ably have to pin blankets over the win
dows and go to great deal of extra troub-
lie to produce it. 1t is said in the early
days that the chickens that were first
brought to the north in the summer
time went crazy for want of rest. They
waited and waited for the sun to set in
order to know when to go to roost, and
as it continued to SHINE, the fowls went
without sleep till they were exhausted.
This story is hardly verified but it is
true that the continued daylight has a
very odd effect on men and animals
alike and it takes few weeks to gel
accustomed to it.

Horse is Missing

]. w. Jones is missing his blue sad
die pony, and saddle. Monday a
Young fellow, stranger, got the horse
TO 20 into the country few miles to
get his clothes, and at the time OF go
ing to press had failed to return. The
horse will weigh about $50 pounds, is
wire cut on front feet, and wears bar
shoes on front feet. Color blue roam,
and branded HIS on hip. Mr.. Jones
thought nothing Of the fact that the
horse did not show up when the fellow
promised as il often happens that pat
rons are gone longer than they antici-
pate, and said nothing till Thursday.
1t now looks like it was case of horse
stealing. The animal has a peculiar
gait, something like a half loap and a
trot, and sometimes acts as if he wa;
muscle bound in the fore legs. If you
have seen the horse notify Mr.. Jones
OF the sheriff at once.

Improve The Roads.

The trade territory Of town can be
nrettv accurately measured by the en-
tsrnr;se of Its business men. Live
tradesmen reach far beyond the nat
ural territory of community and make
svnenses and a snug profit in fields
neglected by neighboring competitors.
The day has passed when profitable
business will come to a merchant who
iacts in inclination or ability to let the
nuhllc know that he is anxious for
trade and has a bargain offer. Did
YOU ever consider the enormous
amount of business town acquires by
extending its trade territory one mile
in each direction2 It's hospitality and
entertainment will do much to accom-
nlish this end, but the main thing is
honest marks, reasonable prices and
liberal advertising. In some manner
the public must be apprised that its
nresepce is desired, its dollars appreci-
ated. People will travel extra miles
to be meet with a smile and feel conf
dent they are getting square deal on
what they buy and sell, and they are
not averse to being enlightened about
places where such conditions exist

The First Organ.

Among the interesting exhibits OF
the early days of Alaska and Yukon, at
the Alaska-Yukon- Pacific Exposition,
which will be held at Seattle in 1909,
will be the first organ that went into
the Northland. Organs and pianos are
common now in the north, but in 1898 a
mouth organ was the largest instrument
Of music that the land possessed.
Two Seattle men that winter pur-
chased an organ for about twenty dol
lars. They had money enough to ship
it to Skaguay and little more for two
months food. They packed the organ
over Chilkoot pass taking month to
do it, and another month to drag the
instrument to Dawson. At that time
there were over a hundred new million
aires in Dawson, many of whom had
just married. Among the women the
competition as to who would own the
organ was intense. 1t finally fell to
the richest of them all, the wife of a
man who was also the most in love.
The bids went up by the hundreds and
the organ was basis OF large fortune
tor the man to whom the idea first oc-
cured. The organ is still in good con-
dition and bears little marks OF its
thousand miles journey over ice, and
snow and mountain peak.

The Limit Of Life.

The most eminent medical scientists
are unanimous in the conclusion that
the generally accepted limitation Of
human life is many years below the at
tainment possible with the advanced
knowledge of which the race is now
possessed. The critical period, that de-
termines its duration, seems to be be-
tween so and 60; the proper care OF the
body during this decade cannot be too
strongly urged; carelessness then being
fatal to longevity. Natures best helper
after 80 is Electric Bitters, the scientific
tonic medicine that revitalizes every
organ of the body. Guaranteed by G. v
Johnson Druggist. 50c.

Running A Newspaper.

About once a week or oftener some
cheerful friend Of ours remarks: We'll
your paper is out now and suppose
you can take it easy for few days"
Of course we can. We take things
every day, and we don't care whether
they are easy or otherwise. This
thing of running a newspaper is all pic
mic and pie. The business goes on in
an automatic way. 1t does this be-
cause it cannot do any other way.
When bills are due money drops off
the trees and subscribers have been
known to tear the shirts off each others
backs, endeavoring to get into the Of
fee first to deposit their mite. The
editor fights the advertisers off with a
club. If he didn't use the big stick
the forms would stick out over
the bed of the press several feet
in vain effort to accommodate the
advertisers with space. And its no
trick to set the news. Everybody
with news item rushes down to the
office the day before the press day and
hands in the copy. All the news edi-
tor has to do is to sit back in his easy
chair and smile at the line of people
waiting their turn to tell what they
know. The compositors hipnotize the
copy, shake it time or two over the
cases and the type rattles into proper
position faster than an interest bearing
note natures at the bank. Now the
foreman makes few passes with his
makeup rule, speaks the magic word,
the forms are down and paper ready
for the public. Then the editor finds
time to go over to the bank and depos-
it some more money. That's all there
is to it. It's great snap. You ought
to get into the business. It's fne.-

Trials of Newspaper Men.

The late Dewitt Talmage in one of
his famous sermons, said:
"One Of the greatest trials of the
newspaper profession is that its mem
bers are compelled to see more of the
shams Of the world than any other pro-
fession. Through every newspaper
Office day after day or week after week
go all the weaknesses of the world, all
the vanities that want to be puffed, all
the reyenges that want to be heaped,
all the mistakes that want to be cor
rected, all the dull speakers that want
to be thought eloquent, all the mean
ness that wants to get its wares noticed
gratis in the editorial columns in order
to save the tax Of the advertising
columns, all the men who want to be
set right who were never right, all
stories as long as their hair and as
gloomy as their finger nails in the
cracked brain philosophers, with
mourning because bereft of soap, all
the bores who come to stay five min
utes, but stay five hours. Through
the editorial and reportial rooms al
the follies and shams of the world are
seen day after day, and the tempta
ton is to believe in neither God, mar
nor woman. 1t is not surprising tina
in this profession there are some skep
tical men. I only wonder that jour
nalists believe in anything

Iatah the Best.

R. ]. Sollibakke has sold his farm of
100 acres three miles north of Troy
to Axel P. Hoggland, Of Lewiston,
Montana, and will move to the Sound.
Mr.. Sollibakke says he is leaving the
best country on earth, but is COM
PEELED to do so on account OF the
necessity of change. He says he
has travelled great deal and knows OF
no better country than Latah county,
and no place where it is easier for a
poor man TO get along. Here the
farmer is assured of good crop for a
crop failure is unknown. Here are no
destructive storms, and destructive in
sects are unknown. Here the sum-
mers are never too warm for comfort,
while the winters are mild. Here the
average man is satisfied, prosperous
and healthy, and blessed with more oi
the worlds goods and the desirable
things of nature than are bestowed up
on other states, and other countries
So we'll pleased is Mr.. Sollibakke with
this country that he once wrote letter
descriptive of this section, to an eastern
paper, and was the cause of attracting
great deal of favorable comment and
some immigration. He has been ;
