CITIZEN GIVES LIGHT
 TO WOODEN NUTMEGS

That the Alaska Citizen is perform ing it's duty so far as enlightening the Outside world in regard to con ditions prevailing here is evidenced by a clipping from a Connecticut paper. The article speaks for it. self anI is reproduced herewith:
 Charles Shaffer has received from his brother in Fairbanks, Alaska, a bopy of the Alaska Citizen, a weekly paper printed in that place It is an eight-page paper that has con siderable news on its front page which is fresh enough to be marked special. People who think prices are high in Derby ought to be thank ful that they do not live in Fair banks, Alaska. The paper which is printed each Monday, is sold for twenty-five cents copy The sub scription price Is one dollar month and ten dollars year, de livered. Among the advertisements in the paper is one offering beer that is made in Fairbanks at s4 dozen bottles and S15 barrel Prices for other things seem to be about in the same proportion.
 COpIt " IlO IlldN Ildh ' lut HUI lOIl that Fairbanks is out of the world will be interested to know that there are five churches - Episcopal, Catholic, Presbyterian, Methodist and Christian Science. There are nine secret societies. Saloons and hotels and lunch rooms flourish, for the greater part of the advertising is de voted to these businesses. Several banks are advertising and there are two or three Turkish baths. Pianos, sewing machines, carpet sweepers, new carpets, rugs and draperies ar found among the things offered for sale by the merchants and show that the people are not living in snow houses CT wearing for clothing skins with the woolly side in.
 This paper from typographical point of view is well gotten up. It is apparently set on a linotype, for there is one of those crazy lines in the middle of a story to show that the operator nodded for moment. The press work Is excellent, being far superior to that found on good many of the papers printed right here in Connecticut And all this is in a place up in the dreary north country where it is either all day or all night all the time.

CHEAPER AT FAIRBANKS

CORDOVA. Dec 22. John F. Barrack, who with his son J. E. BarraCk operates a machine shop in Fairbanks, was an arrival on Tuesday evenings train from Chit ina MT Barrack is brother of George Barrack, the well known La touche mining man He was ten days on the trail from Fairbanks to Chitina, coming by his own con veyance MT. Barrack was surprised to find hay and grain in Chitina selling at five and one-half cents per pound when 1t is only four cents in Fairbanks.
 He says that Fairbanks people complain awfully of being robbed but they are much better off than the unfortunate people of Chitina He thinks this will cause most every one to go by Valdez, as many are coming out this winter and bringing their own horses MT. Barrack says hay and grain hauled from Valdez by team is selling for less money in Gulkana than it is in Chitina.
 MT. Barrack also says bacon and hams are much higher in Chitina than they are in Fairbanks. In the interior town ham and bacons average from 8 to 40 cents, while in Chitina you pay 60 cents. He con-
 templated keeping his horse at Chltina until he returned from the states, but sent it back to Fairbanks where it wouldn't cost so much. That sounds funny, nevertheless 1t is the truth.

MAY BE WORTH CONSIDERING

CORDONA, Dec II. Daniel Webster was an arrival on Tuesday evenings train. He came directly from Fairbanks, but on October 9 he left the Koyukuk for Fairbanks. He came out from Fairbanks with John Barrack and corroborates all he says about prices at Fairbanks and Chitina.
 ever the way he was treated by the raiirCad. When at Chitina he se cured a ticket for Cordova of an employe of the road who was going to Fairbanks. It seems that the agents up at Chitina keep eight dol lars out of every mans wages for fare to Cordova whether he is com ing or going to Valdez or the inter- for. Mr. Webster bought one of these tickets of the passenger dir ect. but when he presented it the conductor, Newton, declared it no good for the reason that Webster was not an employee of the com pany. Four or five other men who bought these same tickets of the agent" at Breedeman's joint in Chitina came through all O. K, but Webster bought his ticket directly of the man who paid for it and had tO come through with $19 in cash t3 Conductor Newton.
 But Newton was not satisfied with this. Alter Webster had paid him the $19 he came back and in formed Webster he would like to nave tha; ticket he had bought from tho laborer WpbStpr DlaVpd ''prpen- ie" and told him he would not give it up without a receipt for 1t, so Newton gave him a receipt ior the original ticket and also receipt for he Sl9 cash.
 Then Webster, after securing the receipt, began to discuss railroad charters and constitutional law, etc, etc, and the railroad employee com menced to grow uneasy. Agent Bar ry was called into consultation over the matter and everything is now being done to soothe MT. Wabster,s wounded feelings. He is on his way to Washington, D. C., and while he may not be as high in "influen- tial circles" as the old original Dan iel Webster it is we'll known to & few in town who MT Webster is and what his mission to Alaska IS.
 He has been quite busy since his arrival here writing letters to his friends in Fairbanks and other inter- for points advising them as to the price of horse feed, provisions, etc., at Chitina. He has also told them how he had to pay S27 fare from Chitina to Cordova.-Cordova Truth.

TORONTO, Dec l. - A West Toronto man had a singular and almost shocking surprise when he found his child of tender years play ing with a package of bank notes valued at S6000.
 The youngster found the notes un- der the sidewalk, and not knowing their value, innOcently scattered them about he home like so much useless paper.
 When the father made the discov- cry there was hurried roundup of the bits of long green. The police were notified, and are busy trying to solve the mystery of how the notes got under the walk.
 It is admitted they are part of a large consignment stolen several months ago while en route from Ot- tawa to Toronto.

Immortal Animals

IF creature that never dies of old
age is immortal. there are certainly
many whose bodies deserve this cpl
thet, whether they have any souls or
not.
Such, at any rate. are all organisms
that multiply by fssion--that is, by
splitting up into two or more OF the
same kind. The offspring. which are
the very substance OF the parent, split
up anew in course of time to form an
other generation still. but there Is no
death except by the accident of disease
or violence.
In the furthest analysis this reason
ing would apply only to the higher ami
mails. for although in the case Of these
a single parent does not split uD to
form children. the germ from which
the children grow is an actual part of
the bodies Of both parents. We are bone
OF the bone and flesh OF the flesh OF our
remotest ancestors. and IL material con-
tinuity of this kind deserves to be
called Immortality they certainly live
again in US.
But this Is a very different kind OF
thing from Immortality as the word is
commonly used, meaning personal ex-
istence after death. Those who saw
that 1t is the only kind Of continued
life to which we can look forward sim
ply mean that they do not recognize the
existence of immortality as ordinarily
understood.

By Marguerite Stabler

r. HE story Of the first celebration OF
the fourth Of July in California Is
one OF the most picturesque scenes
IN the pageantry OF her progress
little curtain raiser on the historical
drama to follow later.
It was in ls47 when California's
population was composed OF Spaniards.
Indians and Mexicans with not enough
gringos to make a distinct element that
q handful OF Americans celebrated the
glorious fourth" in the town OF Mon
terey.
Celebrated as the day OF Santa Inde-
pendencia, whose feast day fell on the
fourth OF July. It was only few OF
the merry makers who recognized in
this the great American independence
day.
Mr.. Robert semple. at the time
owner and editor Of the Californian,
published at Monterey in the Spanish
language (each article being printed
IN Spanish and translated into English,
or vice versa). felt. at the approach of
the fourth OF July. an uprising OF
patriotic sentiments.
We ought to have a celebration, a
blowout of some kind" he said to Mr..
Cotton, afterward associated with him
on the Californian.
You and me and possibly six others
TO do the blowing" Cotton answered
skeptically.
No, a general celebration Of the
whole population Of the town" Semple
explained. I'VE go into all their ies-
tas; now weII give them good one"
The Spanish and the Mexicans. al
ways ready to suspend work and de-
clare q holiday. gladly welcomed the
suggestion OF the gringos to celebrate
with them. The first Americans in
California being, for the greater part,
trappers, prospectors or seafaring men,
who fell IN gladly enough with the
open hearted life OF the Inhabitants
while among them, then went their
way, with no thought Of encroaching
or even settling IN their midst the
feeling between the two races was
wholly amicable.
AS the great day Of Americas in
dependence approached the Spanish
population grew as enthusiastic as the
few Americans. Semple. in order to
make the day popular, had decided
upon a bull fight in the afternoon. and
as a return courtesy the comandante
Of the Preside ordered a fandango IN
the evening and a trading ship from
Mexico gave q salute Of guns.
Dispensing with the usual fourth Of
July grafton bristling with Liberty or
death Down with the tyrant." Taxa
ton without representation" and such
threadbare catch phrases, Semple made
an elaborate speech In presenting the
prize TO the matador after the bull
