 The cakewalk was all to the good. If the efforts of a party of entertainers ever received un- stinted praise and applause from an audience it was the gaily be- decked participants in the cake walk. Owing to the limited time several of the dancers practiced for the event, their execution of the several difficult steps, always in perfect time. with music, was remarkably clever.
 The walkers" made their entry into the ballroom under the lead ership of Mrs. Carvelson, ar rayed in a striking costume of inharmonious colors, who led them through 8 series of compli. cated evolutions.

Tommy Lyons, attorney of Juneau, is said to be fa- vored by the governor for the position.
 It seems to be generally understood by all parties to the agreement, from the President down, that the era of ''carpetbagging" in Alaska otiicialdom is thing of the past, and henceforth Alaska for Alaskans'' will be the watchword.

The cakewalk and dance on St. Patrick's night was in every way the most complete success ever scored in the Springs town, and the festivities were by no means confined to the one night, as dancing and dinner parties have been taking place every day and evening since the first Rampant contingent arrived on Sunday afternoon. The early visitors from over the divide encountered severe weather on the summit, but the weather conditions dur. ing their soiourn in town could not have been improved if made to order.
 The Ramparters were the live. Hest bunch" that has visited our town for months, and evi. dently, when they go visiting they leave behind all care and worry, and enter thoroughly into the spirit of jollity.

 who made 8 worldwide reputation as the official ''fxer'' of the Roosevelt regime, realized that there was bitter factional war between the peo- ple's representative and the appointed executive; he also realized that he had no time nor inclina- to listen to the warning factions contentious. Therefore, at a specially arranged love feast on last Saturday night, President Taft, assisted by Secretary of the Interior Ballinger, explained to the Alaskans how much better it would be to di-

Salt Farming.

one Of the strangest farms In the world
is situated in Southern California. 90
feet below the level Of the sea The place
IS known as SalJon- II is a salt farm OF
about 1890 acres. Here the salt lies. as
deposited by nature, from six inches to
sixteen inches in depth. The salt farm
ers are busy harvesting this crop the
year round: and. though the harvest has
continued for over twenty years. during
which time more than 1890 tons Of salt
have been harvested. only ten Of the 1000
acres Of the farm have been worked. The
salt is first piOwed up into burrows; it is
then thrown into conical piles by men
with barrows. after which IL is taken 10
the reduction works near b. and put into
marketable condition. The work is done
by Mexicans and Chinese, the intense
heat being more than Americans can en-
dUre.
