FREAK PLAYS IN ROYAL GAME.
Records on Golf Grounds Very Much
Out Of the Ordinary.

On one occasion Il player handi-
capped himself TO the extent of playing
al his shots with one leg held up,
and the only crumb IF satisfaction
that some people can get out OF the
story is that the man missed nearly
every shot and lost his wager Also,
who has not heard of men trying to
play with one eye covered up, others
who have had but one club against the
full set used by their opponents, and
others who have agreed to put with
nothing but their umbrellas? On one
occasion a golfer played a round with
a champagne bottle against a man
who had all his clubs, and it is a sad
thing to know that it is on record
that the man with the champagne bot
tie won. There are said to be vari-
Gus Scots who have driven balls off
the face of expensive watches with
out at the same time driving the faces
off the watches, and an American va
ration of this form of golf freak
ishness, as practiced with much sue
cess on one occasion, was to drive a
ball off the top of hens egg, which
had been denied at one end to make
it hold the ball, but not otherwise
damaged.

no an unfound treasure.

You ask me why I love her.
She's no beauty, I'll admit,
And most girls are far above her
In the realms of sense and wit.
Her temper's rather-funny,
And her sweetness-all to learn.
And she hasn't any money
COR economy to burn.
She's no style, no education,
No accomplishments, nor could
She aspire to social station
Folks don't even call her good"
But she has one browning glory
That for all things compensateg-
You will doubtless doubt my story,
But-she always keeps her dates.

IT IS TO LAUGH

Down in Seattle, $. w. Eccles, president of the Copper River Rail- road Company is announcing that he intends placing three steamboats on the Copper river for the purpose of transporting ore from the Bonanza mine to where it can be loaded on steamships and then delivered at a shelter.
 Such statement no doubt sounGs very logical to Seattleites, but to the man who has ever attempted to navi- gate the Copper river it is to laugh {; Alaskans know whereof they laugh and many of them harken back to former attempts to send steamboats up the Copper to the rapids.
 History says that the stern wheeler Caswell was the first to make the at tempt to reach the rapids; she failed because the current was more power ful than her engines. Later the Al toona, which plys from Cordova to katalla, trieC the stream but she was unable to negotiate it and now the means adopted to reach the foot of the rapids is lining TOW boats up the stream.
 It is true that above the rapids a steamboat, the Chitina, is being operated. She was taken in over the l snow knocked down and now runs as 1 far as the mouth of the Brcmncr river. l The owners have several rafts on which they have endeavored to get stuff up and down the rapids but on the average one out of every three at | tempts results i'll the capsiZing of the | scow.
 However, it is of vital importance, under the contract existing between the Guggcnhcims, who are behind | the railroad, and the Kcnnccott Mines | Company, owners of the Bonanza, that the transportation of ore shall begin by 1900. It is hardly to be cx- pected, even by the most sanguine, that the railroad projected from Cor dova will reach the mines by that time-if it ever does-and perhaps President Eccles fondly believes he can carry out the letter of the agree mcnt by shooting 8 few Scow tOads of ore through the rapids and trusting to luck to pick up enough to get a few tons to a smcltcr once in a while.

To Move The Capital

The Seattle Trade Register, l.. NJ. Wood editor, agrees with Congress- man Tom Gale that Juneau is not the proper town to be made the pcrma- ncnt capital of Alaska. But the Trade Register goes further and names Whltchorse as the proper town to be so honorcd. 1t says Whitehorsc is more centrally located and is, in fact, an ideal place for the location of the capital of what was once known as Stewards Ice Chest"
 The Whitchorsc star suggests that some person should take the Register editor back in the stock room, open his head with q crowbar, and into the cavity he would find there drop map showing that Whitehorse, while an ideal place for capital-capital of any kind-is situated just ninety miles deep in British territory.

FURTHER ACTION
 ON COAL LANDS

Washington, April 25-Further ac- tion with regard to Alaska coal lands was taken today when Senator Hey burn introduced senate bill that pro- vides for the consolidation of Alaska coal land entries into tracts of 3,2OO acres each. In other respects the senate bill is much like the bill sub mitted to the house committee by Secretary Garfield.
 The Garfield bill provides that en- trymen may consolidate contiguous locations into tracts of ,56O acres each and that coal land may be leased or purchased from the government.
 There seems, on all sides, to be a disposition to pass this session of con- gross some law that will permit min ing operations in the coal fields of Alaska.

News C2D By Wireless

That form of wireless agitating the papers in the states write of Alaska has been responsible for many things to stir into action the disabilities of residents of the Northland. Geo. graphical location is as nothing to these stay-at-hOme corresDon- dents; neither are they ham pered by facts that, while it adds more or less to the existent density prevailing with regard to real condi- tions in Alaska, gives scope for a wide range of imagination.
 The latest instance of this mental c0matosness is found in the San Francisco Chronicle of the date of April II, wherein the American car in the international automobile race is pictured as well on it's way to Fair banks. That tho car at the time was aboard the steamship Bertha or it's way back to Seattle is fact of no importance to the man who wrote the following:
 '"The American car, which is lead ing in the race of 21 ,000 miles between New York and Paris, has arrived safely in Valdez, and is already well started on its strenuous journey across the northern territory.
 "The Thomas will run some twenty miles through Keystone canyon, and then, because of the narrow trail, it will be sleded to TeikhiIl. From that point to Fairbanks the trail has been broken with double slcds, and 1t Is stated that the car can readily cover that section under It's own power"
The Alaska prospector., 1908-04-30
WHAT TIME IS IT?

The foregoing caption is not in tended to create the impression that real riddle is to be asked; most any man can answer the question by look ing at his watch but how many are there in Valdez who will agree with him?
 Is it not q fact that by walking the length of Mckinley street and glanc- ing at the clocks passed, d person can establish the time of day as any per iod within thirty minutes of the real hour? Scarcely any two clocks in town will be found to agree on the exact time and this is true with re- gard to watches.
 "Unimportant matter" is the pro- bable remark of those whose attcn- tion is called to this fact; but is it unimpOrtant?
 If you agree to meet d man at a certain hour and, by your own watch arrive at the specified place at the specified time and wait for twenty minutes, is it unimportant? Youl mind dwclls upon the importance Of being punctual and when the long. awaited man does arrive you sarcas tically refer to his being Ion time"
 Then he shows his own watch and by it proves that he IS on time What are you going to do?
 This is not an unusual case but an every day happening.
 AprOpos of that which has been said is the fact that Valdez is in need of official time. It's citizens should decide on some official method of re- gulating clocks and watches and see sec to it that their own timepieccs agree.
 Perhaps the government time is the best standard to go by; perhaps there is some other standard preferable, but however this may be, let some public action be taken to the effect that hereafter the the watches and clocks of Valdez will agree on the time.

Rogers Sues For Fortune

Alleging that an attempt is being made by the Marcus Daly estate to wrongfully deprive him of his rigntful interest in the famous Nicklc Plate mine at Hedley, which is valued at $,OOO, ,0O0, M. K. Rogers, for fifteen years the special representative of the Anaconda Mining Company and until recently the head of the Guggen- helm railroad interests at Katalla, has brought suit in the British courts to recover one-quarter interest in the valuable property and to share in the profits that has reached nearly $1, ,OOO, 900 since the acquisition by the Daily crowd in 1898. The plaintiff claims that the Da]y estate endeavored to settle with him on the basis of q g., ,O0O, GOO valuation, which he refused in view of the fact that only recently an offer of S4 ,OO0, ,OO0 for the mine was turned down by the Daly crowd. The property is located at Hedley, B. C., on the line of the new Victoria, Van couver & Eastern, now building through British Columbia.
