Five suicides in a single day in Van- couver, B. C., in December are attrib, uted 10 hard times. In each instance the suicide was without means of sub. sistence. The number of unemployed in the city continues 10 increase GaiIy, and the signs of depression are quite obvious.

CITY TAXES
 POURING IN

At the rate city taxes are being paid only an inconsiderable proportion of the entire levy will be left outstanding at the close of the present month. Up to the meeting of the council Wednes- iuy night upwards of SS,000 had been laid in, and it is Apected that settle Inents will continue to be made with frequency up to the beginning of Feb ruary by taxpayers who want to take advantage Of the 10 per cent. discount.
 Beginning with Feb. the discount will be discontinued and on and after March penalty of 10 per cent, plus interest, will be attached.
 The pronptness with which the mu- nicipal obligations are being met Is very creditable to the citizens, even if their action has been prompted by noth- ing more than good business usage.

NEWEST STRIKE
 LURES OLDTIMERS

It is reported from Toronto that eight men left Cobalt the last week in November for Ungava and Bafin' $ r.and to search for gold, which recently was reported plentiful there. The stampeders will have to travel two thousand miles through trackless wilderness to reach their goal. They have forty dogs, and will endeavor to haul nearly two tons of supplies.
 While it is believed that the party will reach their destination, it is doubted if they will ever return The embers of the party do not seem 10 realize the stupendous nature of the undertaking.
 Dealing with the reported strike, Casey Moran's Porcupine Press of re- cent date says:
 If any one thing were needed to set the oid-time miner ahame vii d desire for long and arduous hike it was the news of the Baffin strike, and on every II IduN tiIC lidl d-loSh illiilCf dtt tiic otO- time placer seeker are discussing the new find and the probable chance of getting into the country. News of the strike was gwen in the Porcupine Press as far us intelligence concerning that country was available and this newspaper has been besieged with re- quests for further information. From investigation it may be set down as a fact that the most probable and per haps the safest route to the country may be made by water, taking the At lantic coast line during the early spring and awaiting the breakup of the ice about June. At least two years provisions would be needed to work out s good exploration of the country. That great interest has been taken in Bahin's is noticeable everywhere in this section and doubtless when the spring opens no less than a dozen diff ent expeditions will be on their way to the far and unexplored North. It is the same old story of the lure of gold and cannot be resisted by the oldtimer." "

CREEK NAMES IN RUBY DISTRICT

When the time comes to write the first chapters of Alaska'S real history. says the Ruby Record, the files of old newspapers will be sought and from them and other documents will be learned what we of the past said of ourselves and our country.
 Ruby creek will be shown to have been discovered by some men who quit Fairbanks, and to have been named from the "ruby" gravel found in its bed.
 Birch creek was then known as Emma creek. Long creeks name has re- mained the same.
 Flint creek was named by Johnson and Fornander because they found some flint rock thereon. The same parties gave names to Trail, Basin, Fourth of July and other creeks.
 Trail received it's name from the fact that whom they cut their big trail for 30 miles across country they erected a cache there. Basin is the obvious sug- gestion from the contour of the hills in that quarter.
 Fourth of July twas born on the Fourth of July" The first prospects were found there by the discoverers on that date in 1910, and these prospects were the reason for their return last winter to prospect on Long creek.
