charter or franchise; that a request
for permit shall be accompanied
by maps showing in detail the route
of the proposed drainage, lands af-

REAL WINTER.

o bring along your ice and snow, and let ripsnorting breezes blow, as in the good old days. 1 like my winters cold and bleak, with stormy winds that rave and shriek and swat us forty ways. When I was young old winter came in early fall, and played the game until some time in July; he piled his snowdrifts in the lane, and wrote his trademark on the pane, and made his feathers fly. He was burly, noisy wight, who painted things by day and night, and read the riot act; and people gloried in the snow, and children mourned to see him go, when his backbone was cracked. But winter nowadays is kind, and ladylike and quite refined. thing of bows and smirks; he comes kowtowing to your door, and makes a healthy man so sore he roasts the whole blamed works. If winter springs d little frost he thinks his reputations lost; your pardon he entreats; he tries to fix things with a thaw, and stands around and wags his jaw and chews the rag and 9leats. All too effimin- ate he's grown; he has resigned his frozen throne, his manners loud and rude; he wears a shirtwaist made of gauge, and at our doors he wags his jaws, Dame Natures splen- did dude. o, send along your ice and snow, and let the doggone bliz- gard blow, and whoop to beat the band. The winters of the time long ago produced big men of force and brawn who gave to us this land.-- Walt Mason.

Tanana, Alaska, Sept. 90, 1911.

Panama, Alaska, Sept 30, 1911 G. NJ. Arbuckle:
 Respected Friend:-I received some copies of the Pioneer from you a short Sme ago. Was pleased to get them. Walt Mason on The Old Village Blacksmith" under the spreading chest nut tree was certainly all right. The up-to-date village blacksmith seemed to be too much interested in the great national game to shoe every old kan garoo. And the Kansas corn - well, say, permit me. And that ad. where the man has just found the Combina- tion. Buck, you and your pardners certainly do make a team and yaller dog under the wagon to boot.
 Well, Buck, I see in the Chicago American where the Lenox House has been torn down and a great theater stands in its place. Thus the old land marks go.
 Buck, am glad to tell you that Jack CAvanaugh is much better and is we'll on the road to recovery.
 We'll, Buck, I must say that I am doing we'll this summer and fall. and making six dollars every day. Have d fine outfit and about Sl ,0OO besides, and plenty of that that hangs on the wall bacon |
 Tell Sam Callahan there seems to be an unlimited amount of faked rice and corn starch in Panama this fall Things certainly do look good.
 Buck, I must tell you about little racket that took place here in Panama short time ago between Joe Dehn and John Kehoe, the famous old poet It seems that Kehoe had been leaving the bars down and the gate open when he comes from his ranch down to town So Arthur Campbell just put lock on the gate and nailed up the bars. In the meantime Campbell goes up to Fish Lake to put up hay. and he leaves the key with Joe Dehn. So Kehoe gets Riley's team and starts up to his ranch after load of vegetables. He comes a-past Joe's house with the team on his way up to the ranch. He asks Joe for the key. Joe says: "Now, the key is in my charge. You can't get through"
 Kehoe says: "I will break the lock off,"
 Dehn says: "You will not"
 So I saw there was going to be a scrap. There were quite few of us standing around.
 Dehn says: "You fellows had better take this old man away; I am liable te i hurt him."
 The famous old poet says: ''Do not let that bother you. I am going to give you a complete trimming"
 So they threw off their togs and at it they went hammer and tongs. So in about two minutes Joe had all he wanted, and he hollered good and loud to take him off. So William Lunn, who
