Not one of the bodies of the three

dedication of the boulder were held
last Friday morning and were partici-
pated in by Capt E. l.. Stratton, of

DELTA RIDER INJURED AT
GRAND JUNCTION RACES

John Logan, son of District Attorney
R. M. Logan of this city, narrowly es-
capped serious injuries in an accident
occurring on the Grand Junction
tracks last Friday afternoon when
Bert Yount rider from Fruita fell
beneath his horse when going at
break-neck clip in a rase and was Ia
ken from the grounds unconscious.
According to the Delta rider there
were four or five horses in the great
est running race of the meet and as
they rounded the first curve from the
judges stand at full speed Yount's
horse fell unseating the rider. Logan
was following close and his horse also
landed on top fthe other fallen racer
hurling the Delta boy several feet
from the scene. He continued rolling
as riders always do if possible to get
away from clashing hoofs. and was
would have caused his death or at
least serious injury.
Logan finally saw that ne was out of
danger and scrambled to his feet to
find that outside of few severe
bruises about his legs and body and
badly bruised finger from which the
nail had been torn loose he was in
fair condition.
Yount had not Jared so well for he
was lying unconscious on the track
and hundreds of people rushed to his
aid from the grand stand and differ
ent parts of the grounds. The Logan
horse had evidently fallen upon him
causing internal injuries. Yount was
taken to a local hospital.

FINED $1,000 AND COSTS
FOR MAKING ASSAULT.

Prof. Lewis Goode, we'll known
musician and bandmaster of this city
was placed under arrest last Thursday
morning on a warrant issued at the
instance of w. o. Stevens upon n
charge OF assault, and at hearing in
Justice Coombs court at 10 o'clock on
Saturday morning a fine of $1,000 and
costs was imposed. The sum total
was $500, but this amount was not
forthcoming for an appeal to higher
court is being considered
Goode has had lease on the Ste
vens home orchard and farm lands
situated on Garnet mesa since the
first day of last November. He was
to pay yearly cash rental of $4,000
and a few weeks after getting the
lease he paid over $4,000 of that
amount. The other $4,000 is yet to
be paid, and when Goode and man
named Graves went up to the place
which had already been surrendered
10 Stevens to dig few sacks of pota-
toes, Stevens refused them the privi-
lege. Goode stated that he was not
there to get potatoes on his own ac-
count, or for his own use and benefit
but for a certain widow woman resid-
ing on California mesa from whom he
had borrowed $1,000 on his crops. He
exhibited the mortgage, but even this
lad no effect on Mr. Stevens. who
states that there isn't $500 worth OF
farm produce on the entire place and
that a mortgage for a thousand was
very modestly secured.
Finding that his persuasive powers
we're to no purpose, Goode left his
man on the place and came to town
for some purpose. He returned little
later and decided to use weapons in
the argument. A six-foot club was
his weapon when approaching his
landlord in menacing manner and
this was warded off by the old mans
cane. No blows were struck and nc
one injured In the least. Mr.. Stevens
however had a warrant issued and
tre hearing resulted as above stated

He came to Seattle recently from TreadwelI, Alask
 The Curacao presents an entirely different appearance than when she was on the Southeastern Alaska route last winter. She formerly had white hull and upper works, very much re- sem bling big yacht. The vessel has now donned the regulation color of the North Pacific vessels of the Pacific Coast Steamship Company.
 Lower Fairbanks creek, between IA below and Fish creek, which has been the scene of much desultory pros pect- ing in the rast, is to be further tested this winter. Workable pay has never been uncovered in the lower part of the valley, but as there are numerous wide benches in that section that have been scarcely touched, there is still plenty of room for pay streak to con- tinue on down to Fish creek
 A recent Nome dispatch says another rich gold strike on the newly found continuation of the third beach line was made on the KofFa claim. The pay streak is four feet thick and runs 4 cents to the pan. Pay is running bet. ter as the drifts are extended. The Bay State group, where pay was struck Novem Der 16, shows increasing results and several claims are taking out big dumps. The recent discoveries of gold have awakened interest in the winter camps and the activity around Nome looks like a revival of the early days of the camp.
 "There are 3,O00,000 acres of ground up north that are worthless in the eyes of man today, but are rich in gold, cop per and other minerals. Aside from that, it will in the future be the pasture land of fur bearing animals. The most important industry in the Arctic in the future will be the deep.sea farming. The possibilities are wonderful. The farmer's herds will be seal, walrus and whales. The grasses and foods are there up to within 300 miles of the pole and all that is needed now is the hand of the scientific farmer. It is bound to come, and it will not be mere protec- ton as we have at the present. time" ."- Dr. Frederick A. Cook.
 Officials of the Alaska Steamship Go. are planning new schedule of sailings from Seattle to Southeastern and Southwestern ports, which will give much more frequent service to Ketchi- kan and Juneau. The new service will be made possible by alternating the sailings of the larger vessels which ply between Seattle and Prince William sound ports and those which ply be- tween Seattle and Skagway. There will be sailings from Seattle for South western Alaska ports on the 10th, 20th and 30th of each month, and for Skag- way on the 9th, 10th and 25th of each month. The new schedule will give Ketchikan and Juneau the most ire quent service those ports have ever had.
