Anty Drudge Discovers Why George
Has No Appetite.

Anty Drudge That eating dinner in this steamy,
smelly kitchen2 I, should think it would take your
appetite away"
Mrs SlowI have noticed that George doesn't eat much
washdays"
Anty Drudge-1How he! Why don't you use
Fels-Naptha Boiling water isn't necessary; and
you'll be through your wash plenty of time to have
dinner IN the dining-room. Or if you prefer the

Talk about energy!


A half cake of Fels-N aptha soap can
display more energy in getting rid of dirt
IN half an hour than an able-bodied
woman can in half day.
But there's this difference: Much of
the woman's energy is wasted.
When she rubs clothes hard on
washboard she wears out the clothes in
trying to rub out the dirt
Fels-Naptha concentrates its energy
on the dirt dissolves it into tiny particles
that are easily rinsed away-without
harming the most delicate fabric.
And it does this in cool or lukewarm
water, without hot water or boiling, sum-
mer or winter.
Do you prefer to supply the dirt
removing energy yourself or to use that
stored up in cake of Fels-Naptha1
If you choose the easier and better
way, follow directions on the red and
green wrapper.

HUNTINGTON
 OPTIMISTIC
Says Red Mountain is a Winner, in
 Spite of Knocks by Price.

J. $. Huntington and Jerry Donovan came in from Red Mountain district Tuesday night for supplies. They re- port that timber is being hauled to open up four claims on Indian creek. Mir. Huntington's estimation of the new dis trict may be gathered from the following communication
 INDIAN GREEK, March 15, 1911 Editor Yukon Valley News:
 Dear Sir:-In your issue of Feb. 23 note an interview with Mr. J. J. Price in which he speaks of Indian creek as a blank saving that there was nothing to indicate the exist ence of pay; that nobody had anything but a few light colors, and makes the further statement that the stampede was started on nothing more substantial than hot air: which is a malicious, unwarranted untruth- full statement, which I consider a direct in situation against my veracity and integrity as a miner, as l was directly responsible for Mr. Prices trip here. I was in no way re- sponsible for the stampede; in fact quite the contrary, Mir. W. B. Rodman, of Tan ana, and Mir. E. W. Griffin, of Chena will affirm. The stampede injured the interests of my associates and myself. By it starting
  consider some very good claims on Poca- hontas creek and Raven. I wish through the medium of your paper to put the exact facts before the people of Alaska, as the last thing earth I wish to be thought is a starter of hot air stampedes.
 When Mir. Price said that no one here had anything but few light colors he evidently forgot that he saw several pans from dis covery claim, one of which went as high as cents and many and cents. No one who is a miner would call them fine, light col ors." It seems to me that pans of that kind might be considered SOMETHING to indicate the existence of pay.
 1wrote Mr.. Price last fall that I had made a strike on Indian creek and had staEed him; also some of the surrounding creeks; that l had reached here too late to do anything, the ice formed two days after my arrival: but had banned the creek extensively for a distance of five or six mics and had raised remarkable pans for surface prospects. Two of us banning for two days never banned skunk, the pans running from half cent to 10 cents. and 5-cent pans being quite frequent: raised g. cent pan in creek bed of No. 8 Felix Fork, four miles and half above discovery, In- dian. l stand ready at any time after the snow goes off to show thoee same prospects to any man who knows how to shake a pan of gravel, Also told MT. Price that it was an almost impossible country to work in in the winter time, and that I might not be able to reach bedrock this winter. I don't think that even Mr. Price would intimate that THAT was hot air.
 Mr. Price made one or maybe two trips up the creek on snowshoes The tops of the willows peeking through here and there and an occasional boulder showed it's wind-swept pate above the snow. He came back to the cabin and said that the creek

(special Correspondence.


Trenton, Feb. 28.-Governor Wilson
and q number of democratic legislators
held prolonged conference yester-
day afternoon over the Geran primary
and election reform bill. One change
that was agreed upon at the confer
ence was the elimination of the part
providing for factional representation
ON boards of election. The conference
decided that the appointment of elec-
tion boards should be left entirely to
the chairman of the county commit,
tee, subject to the results of civil

that the Governor is in favor of adopt
ing the Australian instead of the Mas

Governor is said also to be opposed to
the idea of distributing ballots before

EXPECT ACTION
FOR new MAIN
Water Board to Plan ;sa'ori
Tomorrow Night.

1t is expected that the Board of
Water Commissioners will take some
action tomorrow night regarding the
laying 6f a new main across the
river. connecting this city with the
water works at Runyon. A written
opinion will be requested from City
Attorney Hommann as to Just what
course the board should take to f.
nance the proposition with the funds
of the department, and 1t is also %
be determined how and what size
main shall be laid. These matters
will likely occupy the board for
some time to come.
May Lower Snow Pump.
There Is considerable expense con-
templated in connection with the
plant at Runyon which has to be
borne in mind in reference to the
contemplated use of the depart
ment's money for the construction
of the new main. This includes the
lowering of the old 100000 gallon
Snow pump to new foundation,
some fifteen feet lower than II Is at
present The pump was placed In
its present position to pump from
/ the pond and is too high to give ef-
ficient service from the ground stor-
age wells.
VIII Have Two Units.
With the placing In active service
of the Wisconsin 100000 gallon
pump, which has Just been COM
pleted, the Snow pump will be placed
on its new foundations. In the fu-
ture the new 100000 gallon
pump will form one unit ana the
Worthington 100000 gallon ind
the Snow 4,000,0 900 gallon pump will
form the other unit, the present
daily water capacity being about
8,509,000 gallons.
With the ascertaining of the cost
of the new main across the river a
statement will be prepared as to con-
templated expenditures similar to
the one outlined above, also of the
amount of money on hand and re-
EceivabIe through the rents OF the de-
partment The board will then be In
a position to go ahead with the prop
osition. 1t is understood that the
Board of Aldermen stands ready to
assist the water department should
they find that the proposition is one
which they cannot finance without
difficulty. The commissioners hope
that matters can be arranged so that
the water board can handle the
whole affair alone.
City Attorneys Opinion.
In a statement to NEWS repre-
sentative recently City Attorney
Hommann expressed the opinion
that the water board could go ahead
with the proposition. using its own
funds, borrowing money on notes in
anticipation of the departments rev.
enue from rents, IL necessary.
20 Contract For Blower.
Another matter which will come
before the board at tomorrow
nights meeting viii be the award
ing of contract for the new blower
for the boilers In connection with the

were opened at recent meeting and

Chicago Is today having her first
experience with direct primaries for
the nomination OF city officers. The
primary makes the close of one of
the most bitter municipal campaigns
ever waged in the Windy City.
Though much OF the eight old
party candidates for the mayoralty
nomination has declared unequivo-
cally for honesty in government and
the construction of subways, the
candidates generally have made the
campaign one of billingsgate, in
which the personal and political rec
ord of every other candidate have
been assailed In terms of vitupera-
tfon rarely equaled in American pol
itics.
