~Discouraging Women

Briefly, undertaking Is diseourag-
ing-and who shall maintain with
out inviting contradiction, that 1t
is the exclusive privilege and pro-
vince of men tro be discouraging2
says McCall's Magazine for Janu-
airy. Il IL not, on the the contrary,

to be most darkly discouraging or
most brightly encouraging, accord

environment she may consciously
or unconsciously weave around her
selfP Is II not well for one and all

The discouraging woman begins
with the sunrise by complaining {:

the doctor and get ready for an

and so on. How does the husband

pursues; "Children, II Is going to

The discouraging woman meets q

 To drive a tunnel through the divide which separates Fairbanks, Cleary and Gilmore. creeks, for the purpose of find ing the source from which the placer gold in these streams came, is the ob iect of the citizens of Fairbanks, who have subscribed S50,0O0 as a starter to carry on the work. It is estimated that it will take nearly half million dol lars to complete the project. These streams have produced placer gold to the value of more than S20,0O0,000, and it is the current opinion that this metal was carried down by erosion. It is be- lieved that the veins from which the gold came will be located. The Fair banks people intend selling stock in the proposition as it develops. If the native matrices are not encountered in the tunnel by the time this amount has been expended, an additional 55O,000 will be subscribed and so on till the hill is pierced from enc side to the other.
 Anticipating heavy traffic into the Iditarod and Kuskokwim districts of Alaska this season, the Alaska Steam ship Co. has just issued splendid map of these two new gold fields. The Idit arod and Kuskokwim became we'll es tablished last year and during 1911 it is expected that there will be moder- ate rush to this part of Alaska. The map in question was compiled by Dr. ID. H. Sleem, of Seward. With it is given table of distances which will be found of great value to those entering the country. A brief description of the territory, telling the location and out put of the best camps, will interest those anticipating going to the North. The Alaska Steamship Go. has also is- sued its annual folder, giving informa tion of each of it's Alaska lines. "'See America First but start with Alaska" is the advice given to tourists, to whom is outlined the advantage of going by the Alaska Steamship Go. Valuable in. formation concerning each part of Alaska, especially of it's industries, is furnished. One feature of this folder is three color map of Alaska, showing the various routes and also giving the products of each section of that vast country. This publicity ought to do much to advise Eastern people of the truth about Alaska. These pamphlets have been prepared under the direction of Kenneth 0. Kerr, industrial agent, who already has secured for Alaska and the companies he represents much publicity that will eventually rebound to the benefit of this great northern tsrCitory.-Railway and Marine News.
