he flew down the Copper river to
Cordova. Wishing the s. Blum Com
pany prosperous New Year and a
larger increase of interior sales he
dropped into the MacCormac hotel,
where he found this first-class house
full of commercial and transient peo-
pie. Wishing Mine Host Freedman
continued prosperity he called on
l.. L. Dodge, of the Pioneer Drug
store, and hoped he would enjoy a
larger demand in mail orders than
ever for drugs from along the line
of railway during 1911.
He found Osborne, the jeweler,
busy as ever repairing watches from
Chitina and along the line of rail-
way, and hoped that 1911 would
bring him still more business from
the Copper River way. Stopping at
the Alaska Steamship Company's Of
fee, he wished Agent Barry and his
employees, as we'll as the Alaska
Steamship company, added PROSPER
ity for 1911, and hoped that several
new steamers would soon be put on
the Alaska run and that the Alaska
Steamship Co. would carry many
times the number of passengers and
tons of freight as it did in 1910.
Looking at his hour glass for the
last time, Father Time saw he had
only few minutes in which to wish
the railroad officials and employees of
the Katalla company good cheer and
prosperity for 1911, and after hop
ing that the Katalla company would
continue to run trains on schedule
time, increase their passenger travel
and transport thousands of tons of
freight for the interior. begin haul
ing ore from the copper belt, as we'll
as coal from the Katalla fields next
year, he darted away, after wishing
happy New Year to all in Cordova
and returning back up the Copper,
wishing Chitina and every one in it
happy and prosperous New Year, as
he passed by, stopped few seconds
at the constructing company's camp
at mile 146, and wishing them god
speed and good luck toward the goal
of the Bonanza mine, as well as a
happy New Year to all the officials
and men at the front, he disappeared
in the mist of the great Copper River
way, just as the clocks were striking
the midnight hour on Sunday morn
ing 1911.

steep that the jinrikishas cannot go up
them. In some places sedan chairs, car
ried on the shoulders of the men, are for
hire. The Hongkong chair of this kind
is made of wicker. 1t is a box with a chair
inside it, and a soft wicker back, against
which one leans as he rides. It has arms
for the elbows, and to these elastic poles
about as big around as your wrist ana
eighteen feet long are fastened. Inside the
poles, In front and behind, stand the two
bearers, bareheaded. yellow-skinned cool
les with their pig-tails tied around their
heads, They rest the two poles on their
shoulders and trot along single file. The
passengers are often heavy Rritishers or
fleshy Chinese, and the poles rub the skin
of the shoulders, or make it callous so
that II grows as thick as your heel. The
usual rate for these chairs is about 4 cents
a trip, and | can ride about all day in one

of the set was 500 in silver, the extra

dollars in silver is less than $25 gold, and
out of that came the profit of the dealer
and the wages of the artist, who had
spent a month or more in the carving. The
same tea set would sell for twice as much
in the United States.
Among the other beautiful things sold
here are blackwod furniture, richly

including some set with pearls and precious
stones. Articles in jade are a speciality OF
China, and the best of them bring high
prices. All gold jewelry is made twenty

it wears away easily, but 1t is always

1t was a cosmopolitan one such as you will

streets. There were many East Indians

mid-streets were filled with coolies, and
over the roadway passed an endless process

line OF the latter was filled with English
young men and women going to a dance
of the Centipede club. This club has fifty
members; and hence 100 legs all of which

were painted bright blue, the palm leaves
