We have heard of the man who rob-
 bed his right pocket with his left hand
 but Chitina has him beat city block when it comes to stingy man, says the Leader. This man is very fond of . good whisky if someone else pays for it, but every Christmas he treats him. self to two gallon jug of the cheap article. Being also lonely he has ac~ quired the habit of talking to him'elf> Every Sunday morning he oakes batch of bread that must last him the rest of the week, and along about Sun> day morning the bread gets pretty stale but he bribe5 himself to eat it. Some neighbors passing by his cabin recently, heard him mumbling to him. self, and knowing his pee lliarltie5
 watched him through the open door and vouch for the following: Sitting at the table with nothing but stale bread he drew forth the treasured jug which he bought last Christmas, and pouring brimmiug cup said to him. self: "Now old boy, if you will eat this bread you may then drink this whisky All tight partner, I'll d. it." He then set to work and filled himself full of the dry bread; then carefully taking the cup, smelled of the bover- age, but shaking his head addressed the drink, saying, "you are good alt right but cost too much money.S Thereupou he poured the whisky back into the jug, thus bribing himself and then beating himself out of the bribe,
 "All aboard for the Fiat City 7 Speciaw was the announcement made at Iditarod, the last frontier camp of Alaska, few days ago. It marked the completion of construction of the

The auriferous placer mines will be worked out aud the rail- road abandoned, it is believed, before the department officials will get the red tape unwound and make visit to the place. The railroad is not an elabor> ate affair, nor are the cars furnished ia the ornate manner that distinguishes the railroads operating between Seattle and points to the East aud South. lA fact, one might say, the Northern rslls road is slightly primitive, It is con. structed of wooden rails, laid on ties made of spruce logs, aud the cars are open trucks made from the same kind of lumber with steel wheels. especially imported from a Seattle foundry. The locomotive is IT mule power. It's in- auguration followed the driving of 8 golden spike by Fred Wilson, one of the owners, and iovial celebration on the part of the spectators. Meals are not served en route, except to the hardy animals which form the. locomo- tive. The passengers content them selves with lunch taken in their pockets.

A scare was created in Nome upon the arrival of the steamship Senator with the yellow flag of the quarantine flying aloft. The excitement was al layed when it was learned that the dis ease was nothing more than measles. Two soldiers, who were among those en route to Fort Gibbon, were affected by the malady.
 President Taft, when in Seattle, said that he was still in favor of govern. ment for Alaska by commission, par tially appointive and the balance elec- tive. He also favored the !easing of the Alaska coal lands, claiming that such a system would attract capital aud bring about the rapid develop meut of the Territory.
 The most artistic piece of native carving ever turned out by the Eski. mos belongs to Robert R. Zehner, the jeweler, says the Nome Nugget. It is the we'll known piece of art depicting the great Japanese motto, "Hear no Evil, Speak no Evil, See no Evil" The workmanship of this particular carving is so perfect many are inclined to doubt it is the work of an Eskimo.

Ter, during the week. and in addition to Hall and the four men who were caught playing pangingi, ten lookers.on were arrested and taken to the lock up, to- gether with chips, cards and other evi. dence. In the trial which followed, the defense held that the place in which the men were arrested is the warm storage warehouse of Hall, and not a gambling resort, and the jury apparently viewed the .matter in the same light. All the men were found not guilty.
 Bringing tale of new islands off the Alaskan coast, islands newly forged in nature's workshop and thrust up from the sea under the eyes of the ships company, Fred Schroeder, cap tain of the schooner EIviera, steered his vessel into San Francisco on Oct. 5, fresh from sea otter hunting cruise in the Arctic. Schroeder said that as his vessel neared Bogoslav, an island peak in Northern waters, a burst of vapor rose above the island, splashing the sky with bright colors, Prom the ascending cloud dust rained down upon the sea, stirring it to boiling mass, and as the vapor cleared, new land was in sight. "When it cooled off," said Schroeder, "there were four new islands. We could see them dis tinctly, but they quivered in such a strange way thatwe did not attempt to approach them"

 Nome.-There seems to be good foundation in fact for the report that a consolidation is pending which will affect the three principal mining con- cerns of the district-the Wild Goose company, the Pioneer Mining company and the Consolidated Dredging com pany. Officials of the companies re- fuse to make statements, but not any of them deny the rumors outright. Prior to the consolidation, the Pioneer MiDlug company will distribute in the neighborhood of S25O,OOO in dividends. The greater part of Che stock of this company is held by Alaskaus and for mer Alaskans who are now in the States.
 "In 1863, ninety per cent of the na- tive population of the West coast of Vancouver island and Southeast Alaska, and as far west as Yakutat, were decimated by the ravages of small pov," syys Dr. s. Hall Young, the vet eran Alaska missionary, in Che Iditarod Pioneer. "Whole villages were wiped out of existence, only the decaying totem poles and crumbling buildings and huts were left to tell the tale of the awful scourge." In 1878, when Dr.. Young came to the Southeastern Alaska coast, nearly all the native men were pock-marked. The few white men scattered along the coast, when the plague came, fled into the wilderness and sustained themselves by hunting, in order to escape the pestilence.
 Clifford Pinchot, according to a statement received in Washington from his press agent, who accompanies him, believes Secretary of the Interior Fisher permitted himself to be misled by Alaska Syndicate agents during his recent trip to the North, and because of Mir. Fishers recent expressions repudiating the Pinchot idea, con- troversy more bitter even than the Ballinger-Pinchot conflict will take place at Washington this winter The statement reads, in part, as follows: 'It is now evident that word has been passed along the line to all representa- tiveS of the Alaska Syndicate and of the Federal administration to knock Alaska generally, to bear the value of the coal, copper, timber, everything. Men who few months ago were expia- ting eloquently on the riches and pos abilities of Alaska, have suddenly be- gun to discover that there is nothing of of value here. Ordinary facts of com honest knowledge to all Alaska are distorted with this purpose. The ait. nation is we'll understood in Alaska, and it is so serious that it is realized the whole Alaska controversy is about- to be precipitated in form that may outrigal the bitterness of the Ballin. geg-P -Pipchot fght,"
