More "Poor Mans Diggings. "

From the Seattle POst-Intelligenccr
According to the current stories from
Alaska. poor mans diggings of great
promise have been struck in the Innoko
country. southeast OF Norton sound, and
there is a general stampede to the new
camp. This is the third season OF pros
pecting in that region, and each report
received tells Of rich strikes made. In
the shallow diggings. which give ii its
characteristic OF a poor mans camp.
What has made Alaska and the British
original prospectors had none OF them
money enough to buy machinery or 10
transport 1t into that country of mag
nificent distances and no transportation
facilities. Neither would capital have been
enlisted during the present generation In
development work mines i'm Alaska
had it not been for the immense wealth
their Drawn and energy. The Klondike
was a poor mans camp in it's inception,
and paid the original locators from the
grass roots down. So rich were the
claims that the first miners got money
sufficient to purchase their supplies dur
ing the first winter after discovery by
panning the dirt off their dumps with
melted snow.
| Some of the best discoveries i'm Alaska
of recent years have been at such depth
in the frozen ground that it was useless
for man without capital to attempt
to open a claim. 1t required money to
put in the appliance for thawing the
frozen ground and sinking to considerable
depth. But men with capital are now
willing to take over all such properties
and development proceeds apace.
If reports should prove to be true. the
Innoko contemporaries to give the poor
man a chance to make a mine.

HAVING FUN AT TABLE.
Stimulating the Appetite by Cheer.
fulness and Freedom.

From the Youths Companion.
It il astonishing to one who has not
studied the subject thoughtfully 10 learn
how completely under the control of the
nervous system. or rather of the emotions.
the entire digestive apparatus is.
1t is a matter of everyday experience
that the appetite Is under the subsection
of the feelings. although not Of the will.
The impulse to celebrate any good news
by a dinner is founded upon the fact that
when one is pleased and elated hunger il
excited. In early times this hunger was
gratified on the moment. just as the ac-
companying thirst too often is now. but
the modern man usually defers his eating
to a suitable occasion.
The loss OF appetite caused by bad news
or misfortune of any kind is too well
known to need more than mention. Worry
physical fatigue will often act i'm The
same way. The same causes that destroy
the appetite will arrest or greatly retard
the process OF digestion. Ii is a matter OF
common experience that any disagreeable
occurrence during or just after a meal
will stop digestion and may bring on
bilious attack with headache. nausea and
mind anxiety will act i'm the same way.
On the other hand. as the appetite is
stimulated by good news and mental ella
ton, SO digestion is favored by whatever
promotes gayety and high spirits
Laugh and grow fat" like so many
popular sayings, is an expression which
contains much truth. Dyspepsia is a
malady that will seldom be found i'm the
family where the dinner gives occasion for
cheerful talk and mirth and where all
worry and 'disgruntlement," and espe.
cially quarreling, are under a ban.
Every member of the family should
make il an absolute rule to put worry
and all thoughts OF business or study
aside for the moment and to come to the
table prepared to be light-hearted and
gay This is not only as a moral duty.
but rests upon the very physical reason
that his appetite will be better and his
food will taste better and will be bet.

ACCEPTANCE OF MIsT's
FLORAL PARADE DESIGN

The letter of acceptance of the Ha.
waii Promotion Committee goes for
ward on the next mail to H. NJ. Mist,
Dresden, Germany, for his very clever
and artistic poster for the Floral Par.
ade, 1910. Secretary Wood expresses
the pleasure the committee derives
from the excellence of the design,
which, it is believed, will be popular
wherever shown. Estimates for pro.
ducing the poster will also be procur.
ed in Germany. Secretary Wood also
proposes to reproduce the poster, on a
small scale on postal cards and pastors,
so that these can be sent out from the
Hawaiian Islands to all parts of the
world. Mr.. Mist has been an art stu
dent in Dresden for many years. The
fact that his design has been accepted
will no doubt be matter of congratu-
lation to all who have been fellow ar
lists with him. He is Honolulu boy,
his mother being a resident of Manoa.

ST. LOUIS STUDENTS
MAKE CLEVER ACTORS

There was large and appreciative
audience at the commencement exer-
cises of St. Louis College last night.
This took the form OF two dramatic
entertainments. The first quaint
drama of medieval times and the Sec
ond a fairy pantomime.
In addition to the dramatic work
there was an overture by the st.
Louis College band. some fine choral
singing and beautiful playing of
Moret's Petite Symphonic. arranged as
a duet for the violin, by C. Baldwin
and Brash.
THE Atonement" was the title OF
the medieval drama and the young
actors made a wonderfully good inn
preston. The story deals with trou-
blous times when Spain and France
were fighting over the border, first
on one side and then on the other.
There are villain and his dupe. who
betray a French fortress into the
hands OF the Spanish and a hero who
is enmeshed in the villains we'll

thing comes out we'll and the hero is
reinstated in blaze of glory.
G. Sims as Lorenzo and ]. o'Dowda
as Alexis were particularly good, in
fact all the cast was good and the
young actors, from the tall four to
the supers, all went through their
parts in way that did great credit to
their teaching.

SHERIFF TAKES POSSE
ON RESCUE TRIP

Desiring to return to work but pre-
vented by strikers at Kahana, two or
more Japanese are believed to be pris-
oners in house somewhere near the
headquarters of the striking Kahuku
laborers, possibly being mistreated and
possibly tortured. Such is the report
received from Kahuku yesterday by
Sheriff Jarrett, the message being re-
ceived over the telephone line of the
o. R. G. l.. railroad, for the local tele-
phone service has been discarded some
time since in that portion of the
county.
Immediately on receipt of the mes
sage, the Sheriff sent for Deputy High
Sheriff Chester Doyle, w. A. Kinney,
acting for the Attorney Generals de-
partment, and four specials and left
for Kahana by auto. His mission is
to rescue the prisoners, if there really
are any, and arrest the ones responsible
for the illegal detention or assault of
the men. The party will be back to-
day and until they return no further
information of their errand or the cause
of it can be secured.

and asked concerning Wetherill and
his family, the former stated that he
was quite intimate with the family and
that his relations with Wetherill s
mother were such as to make him al.
most one of the family.
Whether this feature of family life
had any effect on the mysterious death
