(via Kaltog, Alaska, June 5).-Three
hundred and fifty prospectors, the
first party of stampeders to reach Idit-
arod gold fields reached here from
Fairbanks today after a three weeks
trip down the Yukon river. All agree
that the stampede will be the great
est since the rush to Klondike thirteen
years ago; but many old time gold
seekers are pessimistic over the pros
poets for getting sudden wealth from,
the gravel along the banks of the
Iditarod and Tnnoko rivers.
Conservative estimates place the
number of prospectors who will ar
rive here during the early summer at
5000.
Many now on the ground say that
the summer camp will not support
more than 1000 miners and that large
numbers of the late corners are doom
ed to disappointment
They say that seven miles of pay

1t Is believed that at least half OF
those in the main camp, Iditarod City

they expect to locate a camp fifty

years from complication of diseases,
of which cirrhosis of the liver was
the most dangerous factor. His death

For the past eight years few con-
tributors to the magazines have been
more welcomed by publishers and the
public than 80. Henry" He was one
of the masters of short story writing
fine humor as we'll as an ability for
dramatic narration. Although he could
write a tale in irreproachable English,
he was one of the few who could
make slang really funny. 1t was while

90 Henry
He was born forty-six years ago in

Chancellor Day OF Syracuse Univers-
ity Believes the Joy Wagon is
Undermining Our Young
Men.
IT rs WASTED MONEY
Young Men Are Mortsasing Their
Homes in Order to be Able
to Buy an Auto
mobile.

SYRACUSE, n. T., June 6.-There
are so many young men touring about
the country in automobiles and their
pleasure absorbs such large share
CT the country's productive capital
that Chancellor James R. Day of Syra-
cuse university believes 1t is becoming
question if the automobile is not a
curse to the country.
The chancellor was speaking to the
graduating class of the university on
self-sacrifice and self-denial and he
chose the automobile as a broad and
apparent illustration" of the luxury
| that too often is not sacrificed.
Young mechanics and clerks and
business men, he said, who need
all OF their capital are mortgaging
their homes by the thousands and los
ing their positions often by their In
fatuation with this form of pleasure.
| 1T is said that about five hundred
million dollars are invested in the au-
! tomobile trade and this enormous
capital is nonproductive. That is, it
adds comparatively nothing to the
wealth of the people, but on the con.
trary, absorbs it. 1t means so per
cent of wasted money and wasted
time A certain per cent returns in
business uses and wholesome rest and
recreation.
| .1 know the criticism that viii be
sure to come because of what will be
/ called an attack on great industry
but / address myself to the abuse Of
self-indulgence in good thing. / en-
/ phasize self-denial.''
Lack of self-denial is accountable
the chancellor believes, for lower
| marriage rate.
| eff you want to know" he said
why men marry less than of old. per
haps the secret is in the false whim
of supporting a wife. He cannot af
/ ford to support wife, the bachelor
says. No woman ought to consent tc
be such a wife. She ought to say:
! 7 am not seeking or consenting tc
be supported There will be two OF
us. If can not earn as much as
you, / can save more. We will plan
/ together
'sThe greatest woman is the woman
/ who brings to a man home She

two Prisoners Fell Out and the Result
was That Their Mill was
Discovered by the
Authorities.

ST. LOUIS. June 6.-The counter

Andre and Deputy Warden Givin in
the cell occupied by Lee Jaynes and
Joseph Vail, both Of Kansas City, In
the Missouri state penitentiary, at
Jefferson City, Thursday, is pronounc-
cd bv United States Secret Service
officer McHugh, who returned from
Investigating the case Saturday night,
one Of the most ingenious he has ever
seen.
For about twenty years counterfeit
Ing has been known to have been
carried on In the penitentiary, but
the operators were so skillful the
authorities had been unable to discov-
er them. The spurious coins made
their appearance in large quantities
on the field days given the prisoners
on Christmas and the Fourth Of July
when the long term men were grant
ed various small concessions for sale
Of soda water and other refreshments.
In checking up their earnings many
counterfeit coins were found.
An alteration between Jaynes, who
has an unexpired term of two years
to serve for burglary in Kansas City.
and Joseph Vail, who has six months
still to serve for freight car rob-
berry in that city. while engaged in
molding the coins, led to their discog-
cry.
The men had made and concealed in
their cell small furnace, fashioned
out of plaster paris and an old tin
can q bellows OF pasteboard and rags,
a melting ladle of an old piece of
zinc and two molds for half dollars,
one for quarter dollars and one for 5
cent coins. They procured the plaster
Of paris from some repair work, which
had been done on the walls OF the
workshop, and picked up the other
materials about the prison. Charcoal
was used for fuel.
The moulds were made of plaster
of paris and were remarkably clear.
Eight counterfeit half dollars, two
counterfeit quarter dollars and two
counterfeit 5 cent pieces were found
In the cell. They were made of a
combination of lead, babbit metal and
TIN foil, and presented a good appear.

Jaynes and Vail had not been in

been responsible for all the spurious
coin which has emanated In the past,
out as they had no previous record for
counterfeiting it is believed they
were given the formula and instruc-
uons by some older convict who had
carried on the counterfeiting.
The manner in which Jaynes obtain.

Every day the information
comes to US that the cost of food
stuffs S advancing. The matter
has reached the point where the
most conservative are being dis
Jurbed. 1t cannot be said that
prices are high because Of
scarcity. Our crops last year
were good, and we are in the
height Of prosperity, but never.
theless the people are having a
hard time to make ends meet A
plea has been set up for an adjust
ment Of prices or an Increase in
wages. 70 do either will require
time and in MANY cases a stub

prevent any change either in the
prices charged for food or the
price paid for labor.
