The traffic department of the Alaska Steamship Company will issue folder containing a departure in Alaska maps and some valuable information for the man intending to visit or settle in Alaska. An industrial map of Alaska showing the resources of various re- gions and how to reach them has been prepared for the feature of the folder. In addition to Alaska information there is a collection of nautical informa- tion of interest to the tourist and the visitor.
 Michael Holinski, who was arrested at Portland, charged with burglary and forgery, committed at Cordova, Alaska, made his escape by the use of clever subterfuge. When the usual crowd of minor offenders went upstairs to face the judge, Michael wormed his way into the crowd and waited in the dock until the calendar had been finished. When the bailiff found he had an extra man the judge asked him what he was there for. "I was arrested yesterday for be. ing drunk" said Michael. "Well, as it is your first offense you may go," said the court. Holinski grabbed his hat and disappeared. An hour afterward the trick was discovered.
 An enchanted device, sort of divin- ing rod, by which the paystreak can be located, is in use on Henderson creek, 70 miles up the Yukon from Dawson. The instrument is described as several inches long, made up of delicately poised piece of metal standing direct on base, and having more or less con- plicated detail beneath, including springs and fluid com bination of chem- icals. When the instrument is near the pay the upper point of the needle be- gins to move. When exactly over low grade pay, the pinnacle leans over at slight angle. When over rich pay the needle dips farther, and when over very rich pay goes we'll down. This is the way it is said the instrument is SUD- posed to act, and this is the way some of the prospectors say it has acted.

THE PUMPKIN PIE

Once more, my friends, do l descry, the good old trusty pumpkin pie. 1t stands upon the shelf, serene, a pie that's fit for king or queen. Of all good fodder it's the best; it surely soothes the savage breast, and fills the lonely home with cheer, and dries the orphan's bitter tear. When autumn comes with wailing breeze, and lonely birds in naked trees, when in the sad and solemn woods are fallen leaves and other goods, the housewife who is good and wise gets busy making pumpkin pies. With pots and pans and thing umbobs she starts that best of human jobs. She gets pumpkin from the vine; pumpkin fresh from natures heart-and then she whacks the same apart, scrapes the innards from the shell, and makes her pies with joyous yell. And when her husband comes to dine, so hungry that it makes him whine, and sees those pumpkin pies on deck, he shoves couple down his neck and holds the hausfrau in his arms, and says that she's worth ten Kansas farms. The good old yellow pumpkin pie, o never may it's glory die. Long may the women of this land make pumpkin pies with skilful hand.-~Walt | Mason,

 An appalling list of marine casualties, the disasters and accidents on the Pa cifc coast during 1910, is published in the current issue of the Railway and Marine News. A list of the years ac- cidents on this coast occupies almost three solid pages of the publication, and, at that, each incident is given but the briefest mention. The News points out that most gratifying eonsidera- tion in this list of accidents is the com paratively small loss of life entailed. The loss to underwriters has been par. ticularly heavy, and the News points out that this review is an indictment of congress for it's apathy in providing safeguards for Alaskan waters, where many of the heaviest losses have oc' curEed.

The lower tunnel is 1900 feet below the upper, the ore body in both being prac- tically of the same dimensions, demon strating that there is already enough ore in sight to keep mill busy for sev eral years, and that the property has risen to the dignity of mine.
 One of the saddest Christmas events we have read about took place at Tan ana on the lower Yukon just at the be- ginning of 4he holidays when pros pector and wood cutter by the name of Fred Mattfeldt committed suicide by shooting himself dead on the street of that little town.

Please see that poor unfortunate prospector is buried. l have never done anything great, but have never done any one any willful harm. I wish all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year."- Exc
 An Ottawa special to the Dawson News says the Canadian railway com mission has ordered freight and pas senger rates on the Canadian section of the White Pass railway, which is be- tween Summit and Whitehorse, re- duced one.third. The case has been fought before the commission for years. Frederick Congdon, present M. F., has been the most active in the fight against high rates. This was one of the cam paign blanks on which he was elected. The American interstate commerce commission was to. have co.operated this winter to secure reduction of rates on the American side of the line also, because when reduction is made on one side an advance might be made by the road on the other to counter balance the railways loss. It is not known now whether the order affects river rates,

A foot race, won three years ago
from five girls in Calgary, Alberta,
has made Miss Caroline CANTON. a
Chicago girl, the owner of mining
stock valued at $4,000. .
Miss Canton, when at Vassar, was
the fastest runner in the college. She
went to Calgary to visit some OF her
college chums. The provincial fair
was being held at that time and one
of the big events was half-mile run
for girls. Miss Canton entered the
race.
Just before the race was called q
young Calgary millionaire cattle deaf

give a prize of a diamond bracelet
to the winner. Another young Cal
gary millionaire mine owner declars
ed he would add another prize to
the winner, a certificate of 1000
shares of stock in the Gypsy Queen
mine. The mine was looked upon
as worthless and had never paid
any dividends.
The Chicago girl won. AS to the
mining stock she said she would
keep it for a souvenir. Yesterday
Miss Canton learned that the mine
has become a paying property anu
that her 1000 shares are worth just
$4,000. -

When Commissioners Robert Lamm

When Commissioner Robert Lamm
was in Great Falls, Mont, few
days ago re was interviewed by The
Tribune. as follows:
"Our city is putting down two miles
of creosoted block pavement this
year for which we are paying $2.3S
the square yard. We are getting tara
arack block of the Kettel creek
grade and we expect to have two
miles as good paved street as there
can be found in the country" That
was the statement of Alderman
Robert Lamm of Mankato, Mimi,
yesterday concerning paving in his
city. Alderman Lamm is treasurer
of the Boyle Land company and is
here on business for his company
and while in Great Falls he has been
looking over the city improvements,
specially paving.
"Mankato has commission govern
ment," continued Alderman Lamm,
land we are all greatly pleased with
it. We elect four aldermen at large
and a mayor and thus cut out the
ill effects of the old ward elections.
1t is putting city management on
business basis and removing it about
as far as is possible from political
tricksters Each alderman has
city department to look after and
he is responsible to the whole city
and not a few party bosses in a par
ticular section.
"Other cities of our state that
have adopted the commission plan
are quite as we'll satisfied with it's
workings as we are. 1t has passed
the stage of the experimental and
is proving practical and efficient in
scores of cities today"
Mr.. Lamm is as enthusiastic about
the outlook for a good crop in Mon
tana as he is about the commission
form of government. "There is sure
ly bright promise of heavy yields
of all classes of crops here around
your city," said he. 1--WE have some
holdings around here that---we- have
been farming to wheat, and our pros
poets are most satisfactory, l. was
in the Sun River Beach country to-
day and, truly, / think l never saw
better promise of crops or a more
beautiful strip of territory. But the
prospects for fine crops about here
are by no means limited to the Sun
River bench section. l have been
driving about the country here con-
and everywhere l go, the
same condition is presented. Mon
tana surely has a good harvest
ahead.
Minnesota, too, has a great crop
prospect. So, also, has North Da-
kota. With all this assurance, why
shouldn't we have great business
year? believe we will"
