Tanana's Wooden Hen.

The wooden hen has reached Panama at last. It is now breeding an embryonic flock of fifty-four chicks for the yard of George Vautier.
 Of course the "hen' is somewhat of a novely to an old sourdough but there is nothing so all-fred complicated about it. A lamp attachment furnishes the required heat, which the hen automat- ically adjusts to the proper degree. Mir. Vautier keeps the lamp trimmed and burning and turns the eggs morn- ings and evenings, and the hen does the rest.
 While contraptions of this sort are comparatively new to people of the present day, Herodotus tells us that they were known in Egypt back in the earliest recorded times.

like criticism, but it must be my way"
 Discussing genealogy in general and his own in particular, he goes on to tell a story about the late William Walker Phelps, whom he met when Phelps was minister at the court of Berlin.
 "One evening he had me to dinner to meet Count s., a cabinet minister. This nobleman was of long and illustrious descent. Of course I wanted to let out the fact that had some ancestors, too; but 1 did not want to pull them out of their graves by the ears, and I never could seem to get the chance to work them in in way that would look suffi- ciently casual. suppose Phelps was in the same difficulty. In fact, he looked distraught, now and then-just as per- son looks who wants to uncover an an- cestor purely by accident and cannot think of a way that will seem accidental enough. But at last, after dinner, he made try. He took us about his draw ing room, showing Us the pictures, and finally stopped before a rude and an- cient engraving. It was picture of the court that tried Charles I. There was pyramid of judges in Puritan slouch hats, and below them three bareheaded secretaries seated at table Mir. Phelps put his finger upon one of the three and said with exulting indifference:
 "'An ancestor of mine'
 "l put my finger on a judge and re- torted with scathing languidness:
 "'Ancestor of mine. But it is small matter. l have others.'
 "It was not noble in me to do it. I have always regretted it since. But it landed him."

Patriotic Jap..
Resident of Tanana is Proud of His Country's Prowess and the Attention Given It by an Arti- cle in a Magazine.

Any good American appreciates genu- inc patriotism, and that is the kind possessed by Harry Yokota, Japanese resident at Panama. A few days ago Harry showed the Leader the leaves of a magazine, carefully pinned together, containing an illustrated article by Capt. Richmond Pearson Hobson, titled eff War Should Come!" He admired the pictures and was proud of the high es- teem in which Captain Hobson holds the Japanese as fighting men. With caution not to let it be destroyed, Harry left the article with the Leader, with the remark that perhaps some of It would be found worthy of reproduction.
 Reviewing Japan's strength, Captain Hobson declares that it behooves the white nations to understand the mean ing of that country's rise in power through victorious handling of the weapons of war. The presence of su- perior power is absolutely necessary, he says, to check the natural course of that nation toward war with foreign powers, now that war within her own body has ceased as result of the union of the feudal lords behind the Mikado
 The supreme duty of America, Cap tain Hobson continues, is to gauge accu- rately the possibilities of Japan's mili- tary power and to make that power intellectual by the provision of an un- questionably superior force. No other thing that our government can do would have so powerful an influence for the establishment of justice and the main- taince of peace in international relation ships. ...*" ..... ....:.
 Of course all general readers are more or less familiar with Captain Hobson's ideas regarding the matters here named, but the Leader had not read this par ticular article before, and MT. Yokota is hereby rendered the papers, cordial thanks for it. .:"~

|DITAROD TRADERS
 BETTER LOOK OUT
Fairbanks News.Miner.)


 Some of the business men and others who are going to the Iditarod to open up business houses will find themselves in trouble on their arrival there unless they take time by the forelock and secure licenses for the transaction of business prior to their leaving this town. Other- wise the marshal and the commissioner will put peremptory stop to the sale of goods.
 From Seattle comes reports of various ones coming in with big stocks of goods, a $l0O,OO0 shipment of liquors being mentioned, but it is cinch that not much of that liquor can get loose for a few months, as the application for a liquor license must be first passed upon by the marshal and then by the court, and by the time the Seattle shipper gets around to the realization of that fact after he has landed his stock, he will find that Judge Lyons has left the dis trict.
 Clerk of the Court E. H. Mack ad- vises all those who are going to take stocks of goods into the new camp to procure their licenses before leaving and thus avoid trouble.

For the Independent Fleet.

The handsome new slip lately com pleted in front of the Panama Commer- cial Company's store is for the accom- modation of the independent fleet, of which the company has been appointed agent.
 The street has been graded and gray eled in the vicinity of the slip, so that that section of the waterfront has a business-like appearance nowadays.

Autobiography of Mark Twain.


 No outside papers have been received here since the death of Mark Twain. It is known that he was preparing an au- biography, which it is presumed will be published without much delay. Of it he said three years ago: ''This autobi- ography of mine does not take from my life it's showy episodes, but deals mainly in the common experiences which go to make up the life of the average human being, because those episodes are of a sort which he is familiar with in his own life, and in which he sees his own life reflected and set down in print.
 ''Howells was here yesterday after noon," continued MT. Clemens, quoting from the autobiography, 'and I told him the whole scheme of this autobiog- raphy and it's apparently systemless system-only apparently systemless, for it is not really that. It is deliberate system, and the law of the system is that shall talk about the matter which for the moment interests me, and cast it aside and talk about something else the moment it's interest for me is ex- hausted. It is a system which follows no charted course and is not going to follow any such course. It is system which is a complete and purposed jum- ble-a course which begins nowhere, follows no specified route, and can never reach an end while I am alive, for the reason that, if should talk to the ste- nographer two hours a day for hun dred years, should still never be able to set down tenth part of the things which have interested me in my life- time. I told Howells that this autobi- ography of mine would live couple of thousand years, without any effort and would then make fresh start and live the rest of the time.
 "He said he believed it would, and asked me if I meant to make library of it.
 "I said that that was my design; but that if should live long enough the set of volumes could not be contained mere- ly in city, it would require state, and that there would not be any multimill- ionaire alive, perhaps, at any time dur ing it's existence who would be able to buy full set, except on the installment plan.
 "Howells applauded, and was full of praises and endorsement, which was wise in him and judicious. If he had manifested a different spirit, would have thrown him out of the window. 1

FALSE REPORT
 FROM TANANA
Telling Stampeders to Beware of
 the Road Tax Collector

1t was talked around town Tuesday that some cratic person had sent tel egram to Fairbanks advising Iditarod stampeders not to land at Tanana, saying that transients were being held up here by the road-tax collector.
 If such a telegram was sent the act was reprehensible in the extreme. Tran sient persons have not been obliged to pay road tax, nor will they be.
 When questioned regarding the mat ter Road Overseer Frank Smith said it is his intention to enforce the law as fully and impartially as possible, but that he has collected no tax from tran sients and has no intention of doing so.
 Several messages were dispatched to Fairbanks contradicting the alleged false report.
 One thing that has developed from the discussion thus started is a cer- tainty that there is wide difference of opinion as to the applicability of the law. It is freely asserted that there is high official sanction for collecting the tax or enforcing the required work from any person coming under the scope of the law, no matter at what place ill the territory such person may happen to be found. Such construction of the law would be unjust, and does not accord with the wording of the act, which pro- vides that
 Road overseers of the different precincts are authorized. and it is made their duty, to warn out all male persons between eighteen and fifty years of age who have resided thir- ty days in the district of Alaska, who are capable of performing labor on roads or trails, and who are not a precinct charge, to perform two days work of eight hours each in locating, constructing, or repairing pulp lie roads or trails, UNDER THE DIREC- TION OF THE ROAD OvERSEER WITHIN WHOSE PRECINCT THEY MAY RESPECT IVELY RESIDE, or furnish substitute to do the same, or pay the sum of four dollars per day for two days abor, and said road overseer shall receipt for the same, etc.
 The meaning of the law is there made clear that the tax shall be collected and applied in the precinct wherein the per- son liable is resident, and it is reasona- ble that it should be so-else certain precincts, like Fairbanks for instance, where large numbers of persons go on court and other business, would have power to rob, not the road tax payers directly, but the precincts to which the tax justly belongs.
 While Overseer Smith as a matter of fact is not collecting tax from transients, as a matter of lawful right he has no power to do SO. ~.
