SIGHTS SEEN IN TOYLAND

fitted with an electric light and motor plant somewhere in their interior. These, by the way, are distinctly feature of this seasons toy show.
 A big gray and white cat, for instance, with brilliant green eyes, is made to walk with stately tread and feline grace toward an interested group of spectators the instant its feet touch the floor. At his heels may be a white rabbit which hops with enegry, its dazzling ruby col ored eyes twinkling mischievously.
 There's nothing new in Teddy bears,3 exclaimed one of a group in the store, and then wished she hadn't spoken.
 Teddy flashed a wicked looking pair of diamond eyes at her and proceeded to stand on its head, turn somersaults, roll over and over, go through most of the stunts, in fact, of a performing bear.
 Walking and talking dolls in all sizes are provided this year to keep up with the modern features of the newer doll houses. Little girls no longer go into ecstasies over the doll which opens and shuts its eyes and says mamma and papa, no matter how fine her wardrobe may be. The up-to-date doll is expected to walk.

Oregon Versus Idaho.

Moscow, IdahO.-The Idaho team
has been working harder this week
than at any time yet this season, as
the coaches and players realized that
the team must be greatly improved
before the game with the strong team
from the University Of Oregon If it
IS able to give the account Of itself
that is hoped for here. The Idaho
line was a great disappointment to the
coaches last Saturday and failed to be
what II should. Small did not run
the team at all satisfactory and the
whole teams work was very inferior
to what It must be if any Of the col
lege. games are won.
The coaches are working hard with
the team and hope to instill the fight
ing spirit into the men. The Bremen
ton navy team was out Wednesday
night for a short scrimmage, and both
squads were given a good workout,
the varsity scoring twice, while the
navy team carried the ball 100 yards
for a touchdown,
Idaho will line up this afternoon
the same as they did last week, only
Lundstrom will be used at half in
stead Of Johnson, who is suffering

DROUTH STILL PARCHING
NEW ENGLAND STATES

In face of the fact that the drought
in New England has been unpreced-
ented all of the cities and towns that
have a municipal system of water
supply are in no danger of a water
famine, although in few other places
the supply is somewhat limited.
With the exception of few days of
rainfall in July. the drought practi-
cally has been unbroken since the
early spring. Under such conditions
the rivers have shrunk within their
banks, brooks have dried up. wells
have been lowered and forest fires
have ragged almost unchecked. In
dustrial establishments, dependent on
rivers and streams for the power to
move their machinery, have been
forced to close and it has been pop
ularly supposed that all New Eng
land was on the verge of a water
famine. Investigation has shown,
however, that such is not the case,
and that although many of the riv-
ers are too low to furnish power for
purposes, there is a
bountiful supply for those places
which have municipal water systems.

RUSSIA AND JAPAN AGREE
TO PROTECT SEALS

Victoria, B. C.-The japanese gov
ernment has consented in principle
to the proposal made by the Russian
government for the conclusion of a
pelagic sealing treaty which will in
clude clauses similar to that arrang-
ed following the Paris tribunal be-
tween Great Britain and the United
States, whereby seal hunters will be
restricted to certain open seasons and
to areas distant from the various seal
rookeries.
Negotiations have not yet been op-
ened, but it is said that representa-
tives of Japan and Russia will meet
shortly to arrange the details Of the
treaty.
When the treaty between Japan
and Russia is consummated it is said
that Great Britain and the United
States will be brought into the
arrangement.

NOME To HAVE
A BUSY WINTER
FUEL MUCH CHEAPER;
LABOR is PLENTIFUL.
Coal Which Sold for $50. so Last Year
Is Now SIS Ton-Fair Wages and
Cheap Fuel Encourage Operators to
Get Out Big Dumps.

Nome will have one of the busiest
wipter seasons 1t has ever known, ac-
cording to men who came out on the
| Victoria. One of the reasons they
give is that coal is selling there this
winter for SIS ton. Last winter it
! cost S22.50 a ton. AS fuel is one OF
the greatest expenses for mining, the
reduction in the price of coal will
make a big difference with the large
operators.
w. S. West, superintendent of the
Wild Goose Mining company, on
Ophir creek, in regard to the outlook
for the coming winter, says:
with coal down to SIS a ton,
many operators will work on a more
extensive scale than ever. and many
poor men will take a chance knowing
that it will cost him one-thlrd less
for fuel. Out on the tundra l do not
believe there will be an idle claim.
Another matter which will make
a difference in the winter mining will
be the question of labor. There are
plenty of men in there now and | be-
lieve wages will not be more than
$3.50 a day, with board | say this
because l met many operators who
told me the miners were more than
anxious to secure work for the win
ter. In fact, there are so many men
that to give them all work It will be
necessary to open up new ground.
''If all the men who are now in the
camp work this winter, Nome will
have an immense cleanup in the
spring, for with cheap fuel and plen-
ty Of labor at wages that are fair,
every man who has a good piece of
ground will do his utmost to get out
a big dump. / look for every claim
within Nome's immediate vicinity to
be working this winter.
"Ophir creek, in the Council dis
trict, has upheld It's reputation for
riches again this year. Like every
other section Of Alaska, we are held
back this year on account Of the
scarcity Of water. Yet, with all this,
the company L represent ana the
other miners on the creek had a fair
ly good season. We had some water
all the time, but 1000 inches-the
amount we use when running at full
capacity-was not to be had, except
in the sea.
"The Blue Goose company, which
owns No. / below on Ophlr and other
property, successfully worked the old
De Soto dredge this summer We are
well pleased with the showing made.
There Is also this to say about the
dredge When the water ran slack
in the ditch the dredge kept on as If
II cared nothing for droughts.
about 100 men were employed by
the Wild Goose company during the
past season. There were about 400
other miners on the creek and count

the men who are located on other
creeks and make Council their head
quarters, there we're about 1000 peo-

BURGLARY MYSTERIES
CLEARED BY ARRESTS

Sacramento.-The mystery of Sc

les extending along the line Of the
Southern Pacific railroad, which has
puzzled the police of half a dozen

other valuables in various places in
this and other cities.
The burglars plan was to board
freight trains as tramps and break
open cars while the train was speed
ing. The goods were thrown out and
the men jumped off TO gather up
the loot at the first stopping place.
