1 HEN DRINKS BEER, LAYS TWO EGGS DAILY;
 DOG TAKES PLEDGE

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 15.-Fred Seager of Jennings, St. Louis county. has hen that lays two eggs daily. He accounts for this because he gives the hen beer to drink. Seager s friend, Otto Graf, has a dog that is known in the town as the alarm clock of Jennings" Each morning at o'clock the dog arouses tn neighborhood by barking.
 One morning recently he didn't bark and this is why Seager sus- gested that the alarm clock" would work better if given beer to drink Graf was willing to try it. He did The Alarm clock" drank the beer Saturday night and Sunday failed to alarm As a result the neighborhood overslept and many were late for church.
 Sunday night the alarm clock suffering from raging headache took the pledge. Not so Seager's hen.

THIS YEAR GOOD
 0NE F0R CROPS

This is banner year for local crops according to Dr. Stearns. Never before have the crops been so plen
 iful as they are this year They are from two to three times as large as they were last year. A novel method of potato raising was tried out successfully this year by the Graehl rancher. Instead of waiting until. between the 10th and 10th of May to plant his potatoes, the Dr. put them in about the first of the month. When the frost arrived as he expected it would, Dr. Stearns built three large smudges, which completely covered his field of spuds, and would not allow the biting frost to get at his crops. This smudge he used three different nights. His po- tatoes are mealy and big. and seem ed to have gained much by that ex- tra week in the ground at the spring of the year.

WALDO APPEARS
 BEF FORE JUDGE
 AND EXPLAINS

NEW YORK, Sept. II - Called to the stand to testify in the invrsliga- tion of wholesale licensing Of illegal gambling and crooked police protec- tion here yesterday. Police CUmmis siOncr lthinelander Waldo denied un- der oath that he knew Of the exist cnce Of graft on the police force. When questioned by the district al torney regarding the threats of the deposed lieutenants and inspectors of the touicst police department in the United States today. Mir. Waldo said that they were groundlcss. and while he regretted the fact that the department he managed was in such disrcpute, he fully invited a most rigid investigation of the characs of his subordinates.
 Mayor Gaynor was greatly incensed because of the action of the district attorney. Mir. Whitman is pry ing more deeply into the records of the police department than anybody has since the famous LcXow inyestiga- tion. In his fight for clean city he is aided by an aldermanic com mittee, d citizens committee and the Burns detectives.

A Dodge will be a candidate for office, and if not named on any ticket, il is said that he will run independently Another rumor. and one that is equally as persistent as the Dodge rumor, is to the effect that John Wallstedt,, the popular manager of the Globe bar would like very much to go to Juneau as a member Of the first Alaskan con- gress. Mir Wallstedt is absolutely nonpartisan. and his one desire would be to get for Alaskans that which i'll his mind was most essential to their prosperity.
 Still there can be nothing definite ly announced as yet With the arri- val of Wickersham, the political fog will clear somewhat With the So cialist ticket already named the local leaders will work bit faster. and the next ten days will probably tell just what is what in the local game of politics. Until then we will all watch with interest the actions of the Socialists.

There is little use of going all the way back to the days when John C. Rose made the first quartz location in the Panama Valley. That was in 1903. Rose was a joke. So was quartz. But let us look around this district in 1908. The creeks literal ly teemed with miners who were sat
 isfied with the garnering of the har- vest so easily exposed on bedrock. and thought nothing Of the quartz that is now destined to make Fair. banks one of the greatest hardrock centers in the world. Four years have passed since then. At that time there was no more idea of in stalling a stamp mill than there is today of attempting to raise oranges in midwinter. Now there will he in operation this winter about fifteen mills scattered throughout the dis
 trict that is immediately adjacent to Fairbanks. Four years ago. q few prospectors might have been seen working ground around the head

RUBY'S FUTURE
 LOOKS BRIGHT

A letter received on the last mail by Andy Mackenzie of the California saloon gives d true picture of the conditions at Ruby. It is from this camp, Hughes is working on Bear pup. According to the former resident Of this camp Long creek in the Ruby district looks very promis- ing. The pay there is running from $1.50 to $2 to the foot. It is not very vide there according to the report, running from 90 to 70 feet It is found on ten or twelve places on the creek, but it is as yet un- known whether or not the paystreak is continuous. The creek is about
 nrcn miles long, and it will mean much to Ruby if it turns out well.
 he lack of machinery on the
 reeks makes the new camp a poor )ne from the labor point of view. There are great many men who
 rc broke in the camp now, and everything indicates that there will lie more as soon as the few plants shut down.
 There will be plenty of prospecting in Ruby this winter, the work being confined chiefly to Ophir and Quartz creeks. They have already uncov- cred some excellent prospects there This winter will tell everything as far as Ruby is concerned If it is to make good at all it will make good this winter, otherwise it is doomed

of Cleary creek They were the butt of all jokes, because the placer was easy to get out of the ground
 But they have ceased to be joke. On those men and many like them rests the hope of Fairbanks. Today the hills are full of quartz prospec- tors. Nearly every day new loea- tions are filed. new discoveries are made new prospects are opened up, and even the most pessimistic will admit that there must he some foun. dation to the statement that FAIR BANKS HAS QUARTZ or there would not be so many men who know out in the hills putting in their time developing the hard rock ming of the district.

LOCAL POLITICIANS ARE
 CONSIDERING A TICKET

Now that the Socialists have put a ticket into the field the eyes of the voters must naturally turn to the other parties. A combination or Fusion ticket has been suggested, but there is great difficulty among the local leaders of the different they can ali agree. The Wickcrsham Republicans stand out flatfootedly for Mayor Dan Drscol as candi- date for senator. Neither the regu- lar Republicans nor the Democrats have offered any objections to the nomination of the popular mayor. The Democrats seemed to be badly divided, however. on their choice for a man to he placed on the Fusion ticket Fred Heilg has been boosted by many, but there are lots of men in the party who are abso- lutely opposed to his name being even considered. The regular Re pubicans are likewise internally split, some of them favoring Jack Sale. and others strenuously fighting the placing of the jewellers name on the ticket.
 Besides Dan Driscoll the names put forward by the Wickersham fol- lowers are James J. Mullalley, the Fox merchant, who recently left for the Outside. Whitehorse Smith is likewise mentioned as are the names of Henry Ray and Dan Sutherland. The latter of course would represent lditarod, as Henry Roden is the law for the Guges in the camp of the Guggs. and as ill the last election he openly supported Gilmore for delegate, there can be but little loubt that John Roman would be the choice of the Wickersham party were he to enter the field in opposition to the present candidate from the lower river camp.
 It seems that it will be impossible for the local leaders to agree on the name of the six men who would com pose the Fusion ticket How many tickets there will be in the field is matter that cannot at this time be answered. It is certain, how ever. that if they cannot come to an agreement soon. the Wickersham run full set of Wick's supporters as candidates for the Alaskan con- gress.
 The delegate postponed his trip to Fairbanks to rush to Ruby and con suit there with his national commit tee man at the last election. Dan Sutherland will probably be able to tell Wickersham just how the land lays down the river, and armed with this information the delegate will come to this camp, prepared to fight for what he deems the right of his party.
 Several of the local politicians were approached on the subject of just who the candidates would be, but with practically one accord they refuse to say anything for publica- tion. There are certain rumors afloat that will not down, although their reliability is not definitely known. One of these is to the effect that Bion

TICKET NOT YET SURE.

This ticket as adopted is sub iect to change provided the lDNcr river locals are not satisfied with the nominations They could then nominate another ticket below, and I referendum would have to decide the candidates who should then rep resent the party in the first Alaskan election. This. however. is not at all likely as it is felt that the lower river Socialists will surely adopt the list as here presented Jack Wade and Deadwood have al ready endorsed them by their action taken most recently. By the twen- ty-second of the month there will be little doubt as to who will be the candidates as that was the date de- cided on for the publication of the ticket for the Fourth division.
 WILL CAMPAIGN SOON
 It is probable that all the candi- dates will soon begin an active cam paign for election. After the first of next week they will be in the fight for fair. and will strain every effort to win for their party the principles that it stands for.

HOW THE TROUBLE AROSE.

There is a clause or order in the platform of the national organiza- ton of the party that demands that all meetings of political nature such as the ones in which candidates for office are chosen should be open to none save the members of the local. It had been the custom here to allow visitors to attend theso meetings When MT Chase. the na- tiOnal organizer of the party was here during the last campaign he the party, and as long as the visitorr did not seek to disturb the meeting or take part in any way, their pres ence there would be alright John Gonna, who is chairman of the cen tral committee, the committee that makes and amends just such laws agreed with Mr. Chase. and accord ingly the public was admitted to the meetings of the Socialists at any time. But there were some who would not abide by those rulings. and still chung to the idea that the ideas of the Outside were the proper ones for Alaska. Hence they have taken

Rumors that were per sistent and would not down were heard to the effect that the Socialist local here had been badly split. The Socialists were taking sides with each other and as the actions of some were strenuously opposed by others the party was considered hopelessly disrupted It seems, however, that while some of the members of the local of this district are not in harmony with the actions of some of it's members and will therefore not attend the meetings that are held here, they all will stand firmly by the candidates who are carrying the red flag. and the platform on which they seek cleo tiOn
