MEN OF THE GREAT
 NORTHLAND

The Alaskan steamer, from the land of the many-hourcd day, nos ing up to the dock like great tired monster, sent a freshet of passen- gers down her landing plank.
 Men battered by the NOrth's rough hand, hardened by the trails and the hills and the creeks, and reticent by the ncighborhood with big primi- tive things. had come from the mys- tcries of the North. Their faces were books in which strange mat tcrs might be read; the red-claWed North had etched it's ten command mentS upon them. Their minds are rich i'll strange experiences, many adventures which make them good storytellers. They have gambled in the dark of the Arctic night when death dealt the cards; they have backed up into the twilight of the elemental and achieved strange new point of view, that of the stone age man. They have beheld the Northern Lights oozing the whole length and breadth of the chromatic scale, steeped in weird prismatic stains
 From a little lower down the bay broken, promontoried Northern shore the coast-nosing ship had brought a gang of loggers, with the suns OK idle burnt upon their faces, and new rugged character soaked in from the primeval wilderness in which they had been sleeping. They had come from mother-forgotten place where breaking the long dark line of woods on a shore as lonely as the sea Squats lumber camp with the the rise of the hills behind it.
 The steamer had also brought down crowd of men who were the mere wastage of the outdoors. They had come from railway construc- tion ca D; they were the earth-men of our railway age, and each one had left his lasting mark on the planet with pick and shovel. Some of them were giants in beam, but with lightless oX-faces The crowd ed gangway spouted these, and also some trappers, pure nomads, reck- less and free, passing on leaving only the blackened embers of their camp-fires, but like the prospectors, empire Province

A FOOLISH BET.

Peter Smith, aged 27, who worked in a tannery in Newark, bet Alex ander Scott, fellow workman, that he could drink 17 straight whistles, one after the other and show no ef- fleets. The amount of the wager was $1
 The bet was decided shortly after the whistle blew at noon Smith and Scott met in saloon, and the sa- loon keeper poured out seventeen jiggers of whisky and arranged them in a row on the bar. Smith started at one end and taking no chasers, drank the r in little over five minutes.
 Give me the dollar" he said Scott handed him the bill. He poe keted it and then fell backward un- conscious. He was taken to the city hospital and died in a few minutes.

reached the Yukon by way of the Pah and koyukuk rivers: but the most noteworthy trip was that made to Point Barrow by Ensign w. l.. Howard. He left the winter camp in April with two white men and two natives and proceeded northeast across the Noatak to the valley of the Colville, followed this down stream ill company with a party of natives for about 2O miles. and then crossed to the headwaters of Chipp river. Here he discarded the dog teams used up to this point for trans porting his supplies. and descended the Chipp river to the coast in na- tive skin boats. arriving at Point Barrow on July 15, being the first white man to cross northern Alaska. The results of the expedition were a fairly accurate survey of the ko- bulk valley and sketch maps of the Selawik. upper Colvillc. upper Noa- talk, and Alatna rivers. Stoney's was the first attempt at instrumental sur yeys ill the interior of Alaska.

NEWS FROM THE

Things are quieter on the Forty mile at present than they have beer for the last dozen years, said a re cent arrival from that country.

 Two weeks ago there were only 25 people on Wade creek. and sever al of these have left since. With the exception of the Milvain dredge nothing is doing on Walkers fork but three or four outfits are open cutting on Poker creek.

A Dying Island.

An island in Puget Sound near Vancouver, B. C., about 20 miles in circumference, is apparently dying from old age. Last summer it was observed that every fir and cedar tree on the island was dead. Near the waters edge vegetation seemed withered, and a thin vapor hung over the island all day. There is not a living thing on the island. Not even crow rests upon the topmost branches of the now dead frs.

This is the entering wedge to make the federal power dominant, and the states subordin- ate. There is no one man rule in the new Australian scheme of things.
 The curse of Australia has been the ownership of great tracts of land by individual owners. Many of the greatest holdings are in the hands of men who live in England and never have seen their land.
 The single tax has been invoked to cure this evil. Land is taxed at it's real value and idle land is taxed just as land in use. Improvements are not taxed. The result will be to break up the great estates into small farms and to free opportunity for labor and industry to unite with na- lures boundary in supplying food, clothes and luxury for mankind.
 The new Labor government comes into power finding four and half million dollar deficit, but the land tax is expected to make short work of that
