"Prue at School"

Reviewed by Bessie Chapman, 1919 East Eighth
street. Ninth street school, grade AT.
81 e at School, is an interesting
story. There are many amusing say
ings and doings.
Prue is a very mischievous little
girl. When she starts to school she
has a squabble with her friend, John
ney Buffum. Johnny does not like
school and Prue tries hard to get him
to go.
There are many children at the
school. They are most all Prues
friends.
''who can help being her friend?"
was the remark one of them made.
The teacher was new, and when he
came to class the children he asked
what each knew.
81 can say tables when you don't
skip around" answered Prue when
questioned.
One day Prue wished a feather for
her dolls hat, so she went up to the
guest room. She ripped a small hole
in the feather bed. When she found
none to suit, she kept on ripping, until
the room was full of flying feathers,
The parson was coming to stay in the
guest room. Mrs. Weston, Prue's
mother came in and with the help of
Aunt Prudence, spent two hours re-
pairing FTue 3 InlSCHlSI'
On Sunday the Westons went to the
village church.
In the previous book of this series
we hear of Hi, Prue's friend, who ran
away with the circus In this book
we hear of how he learns to ride on
the horses back. He gets very lonely
too. There is one man in the circus
who is HIS friend. One s1ay as Hi is
riding he falls off. He is not severely
hurt, but stunned. They put him to
bed and he dreams that his mother
is calling him. There were in the vii
Iage two twins, Joe and Job. These
boys were ever up to pranks. They
went in the apple cellar and got APP
pies. The grocer men then set them to
cleaning potatoes for punishment,
Prue happened into the store and
persuaded the man to let the boys go
and not long after this the twins took
Prue to the fair.
Prue's sister, Randy. was married
and her wedding was the great event
in this book. Prue was the little
flower girl. She did not feel badly
until Randy drove off in the carria"e.
I'm sure this book would interest
those who have read the famous Randy
series.

PARENT TEACHERS
ASSOCIATION

Children are so keenly conscious of
environment and so susceptible to its
effects that, next to the direct training
afforded by the teacher, the surround
ings during school hours form the most
potent influence of education. This tact
has not been generally recognized I'M
til recent years, and now organized eff
fort to improve old conditions must be
made if we are to insure the speedy
establishment of model classrooms.
Sanitation is naturally the first re-
form that demands attention we
cannot expect our children to DO goou
work in school unless they are wen,
and we cannot expect them to be well
unless the building where they pass
five or six hours a day is clean, COM
Portable we'll ventilated and free from
defective plumbing. But, after all pre-
cautions for the protection of health
have been taken, the schoolrooms may
be bare, ugly and in every way unat-
tractive Boys and girls are so in
fenselv susceptible to impressions that
they will unconsciously associate a
distaste for study with confinement
in a cherries place bounded by for
bidding blackboards, ugly walls ana
uncurtained windows. They must love
school in order to do good work, and,
as long as the class roolils are not
more homelike than prison cells, they
will feel little more attachment for the
school than the felon feels for the jail.
1t has been demonstrated that beau
tiful surroundings have not only
mental, but moral stimulus. 1t is,
therefore, manifestly a duty to make
schoolrooms restful and inviting. Upon
whom, then, devolves this task? The
schools belong to the people, and the
ABB hnaTIfifI1l
beautiful that every pupil will feel a
pride and interest in them.-Delineator
Parents, teachers or friends of the
schools are invited to contribute short
articles for insertion in this column
Announcement of meetings, names of
officers and other information of gen.
eral value will be published, and the
editor of the Junior will be glad to
have a list of the secretaries or press
representatives of each branch of the
association. so that necessary informa-
ton may be more readily obtained.

"OW many of our young readers
have been wishing for another
- "Oz Book? 1 am sure a great
many of those who read about Dorothy
and the Wizard of OF will be particu-
larly delighted to know that Mr.. Baum
has granted the request of many of his
little readers and has written more
about OF" and 'more about Dorothy"
and in the delightful little letter with
which he prefaces his new book he an
nounces that he has written it only be-
cause of so many of these requests and
because, as he says, 81 write only to
please the children, and respect their
wishes"
This new book was written, or at
least completed in California, while
Mr.. Baum was at Coronado last winter.
All the favorite characters introduced
in Dorothy's first adventures are found
in this new book, and there are besides
several delightful new ones. There is
the Shaggy Man, who is personally in
troduced by the author himself and
when an author assures his readers
that they are bound to like a certain
character I am sure that ought to be
sufficient for any one.
Then there is Polychrome. Isn't that
a novel name? 1t is like some of our
everyday names and has a special
meaning; this one means "many col
ors," and is particularly appropriate, as
Polychrome is the Rainbow's daughter.
There is also Button-Bright, who

Old Channel Found
Diamonds in Alaska

During the early days of Alaska's history, Edward Fl. Brown, q brother of the Brown boys of Seattle, well known newspaper men, was deputy collector of customs, stationed at Sit ka. One day q party of natives, liv- ing to the westward, came into his office and exhibited several small white stones. Curiosity led Brown to give the stones tcst as to their composition, and they proved to be diamonds. Brown forthwith got busy and endeavored to learn from whence the diamonds came. The only infor- nation he could get from the aborig- ines was that they had found them Ito the westward where the smoking mountains are.D

DEMPSEY STRIKES
 AN OLD CHANNEL

Perhaps the most promising prop erty on the Chisha is that owned by
 Melvin Dempsey. Since the original discovery this energetic prospector, with an enthusiasm which has never waned, has expended time and money in exploiting his claims. During the past season Dempsey has been tunnel ing into the bank adjoining his creek property in an endeavor to locate an old channel which he thought existed, running parallel with the present wa ter course of the Chisna. While his efforts were not entirely successful in that he did not get sufficient depth for drainage, yet the demonstration was made that the old channel is there, the tunnel run encountering one of the rims of an old creek, the wash of which carries gold values.
 The coming season the tunnel will be covered in order to strike bedrock of

Slate Creek in 1899, but no locations were made until party composed of Jack Miller, Charles Kraemer, Bert Mcdowell and Dorsey Leavell, in 1900, found prospects which justified them in locating claims. Thus this party may be said to be the original discoverers of a creek which has proved to be a rich producer.
 A detailed account of the claims on Slate creek and it's tributary, Miller gulch, is given below, the figures given as the output to date being only approximately correct, from data gathered by various Slate creek op- orators:
 Discovery claim on Slate creek was staked by the original locators and is at the head of the stream. Not over 5000 in gold has been mined from it..
 No. below discovery was located by Charles Kraemer, and has given forth $25,OOO.
 No. ? below was stakcd by Bert Mcdowell, and has produced Sl5, ,OOO.
 No. 3 below is now owned by Look CT and Stroebel, and about $35 ,OOO has been taken out of it.
 ! No. 4 below is the property of Sam Taylor, and has produced $1O,0OO. . No 4 below is owned by Jack Miller. It is considered rich property, but has not been worked.
 No. 6 below is the property of James Newcomb, and has given up about $25,OOO.

Reindeer Tn Alaska.

Dr. Sheldon Jackson started the reindeer industry in Alaska in the year 1891, raising the funds necessary to import these animals by private subscription. The government, re- alizing the importance of the indus try to the native. population, made appropriations from time to time, un- til the reindeer herd at the present time numbers 21,OOO. The initial herd was imported from Lapland, but since then the reindeer were bought from the native deer men of north east Siberia. w. T. Lopp is superin- tendcnt of the reindeer industry, the herds being placed at intervals be- tween Point Barrow, in the Arctic ocean, down the coast to Iliamna, in Southwestern Alaska.

Alaska Fox Farms.

Fox farms on the islands of the Pa cific south of Alaska have been source of profit to those familiar with the business. The blue fox species is the one more generally reared, the value of the pelt being greater than that of the white or red. The advan- tage of fox farming lies in the fact that the farmer may secure his pelts when they are prime, thus obtaining the highest market value.

Moved by rumors of the Hazlett- Meals gold strike on the Chisna river, many prospectors focked to the scene of the new discovery, in 1900, and be- gan looking for placers on contiguous creeks. Arthur McNeer, Il member of the Chisna Company, had found prospects on what is now known as

 The whole of Slack creek, q tribu- tary..of Slate creek, is now owned by Bill Holmes. It has produced about $50, ,OO0.
 Big Four Creek
 Over the divide from Miller gulch is a small stream known as Big Four creek. Perpetuala a snow covers the ground, which is frozen, rendering mining difficult. Four short claims take in the creek, and all arc owned by Kit Drace. About Sl5,0OO has.bccn taken out.

 On a bench claim off of No. ? below on Slate creek, Bert Mcdowell sank q shaft a distance of 40 feet. At q depth of 65 feet a--rim of an old chan mel was encountered. The wash gravel contained gold, and at the depth attained bedrock was not in sight. The shaft will be continued until bedrock is found, and it is antic- ipated that rich pay will be found thereon. The bench claim is on Il meadow which lies between Slate creek and the Chistochena, and it. is probable the old channel runs across | it to the latter creek
