YUKON YIELDS FISH BY
 UNDER ICE NET FISHING

From Dawson comes word that extensive fishing operations are carried on in Yukon during the dead of winter.
 Many thousands of dollars worth of fish are caught in the rivers and lakes. The chief va ricLirS ar" whitriish, grryling, tl7ut and pickerrl. some others are caught at various seasons. Salmon are plentiful in tn" Hu- kOn in summer.
 The fish of chief commercial value in winter is the whitriiSh.
 It IS caught mostly in lakes. The
 fish are large and of fine quality.
 Those who engage in winter fishing place in inc water double wire, one mile or mort in length, before the ice begins to form, leaving each end above the water.
 As soon as the ice becomes strong the ends of the wire are IooSrnrd land attached to reels.
 Then the wire iS taken In at one end by one of the reels, the wire being twice the length of the space between them.
 \ slot, or opening. usually two by 20 feet, iS cut through the ice midway between the reels. The wire is filled by d hood through this opening and gillnrtS are al lachrd tn il as II iS drawn one way until all the nets are placed on that sid" of the opening. Tn" wire then remains in that position until the following day, nr perhaps longer, when a man is stationed at each reel and one in
 the crHirr al the opening with a
 signal flag.
 The man at the reel on the op-
 l""SIl" end from thr nriS brgins iu wind slowly. drawing the nrlS lIn- Icr tn" opening. where he flag man stands on the watch for fish. With q hook hr draws up the net takes out the fish and signals to his partner to proceed.
 Thus h" work continues until iall the nrIS have passed tu the other side of the opening. where they remain until the next day.

The Difference,

 She gazcd al him philoSophi- cally.

No- body ever says to mo, You arc pretty. IL is always You look pretty There is a difference as wide as the wilderness of the sea. The girl who really is pretty navcr has iO give the subject a thought. Nothing she can do or leave un- done affects th" vital fact that she is pretty. The girl whom na- lure has not thus -l4wcred must be forever trying tO make herself look pretty Of course, in way, she deserves far more credit for making herself acceptable to the public than the pretty girl does --also it. is a compliment to her taste, ingenuity, skill and various other mental qualities to assure her she hTS attained success but it. always reminds her of the battle she must cOntInually wage"
