WINTER SEASON
 SETS IN EARLY

While the open season has sp- parently closed, it will be remem- bered that cold snap came last year oil exactly the same date as it lid this, and several operators closed down. A day or two later a thaw came, and the river remained open for several weeks.
 The last boats 10 leave this sea son--the Martha Cow and the Florence S-got away on the 18th. In 1911 the last boat to leave was the Skwentna, which pulled out for St. Michael with a load of passen. gers October B. The weather at that time was remarkably mild. As late as November IS the ice was so thin in the Iditarod that couple of skaters who essayed to travel from the mouth of Otter to the city got ducking.

ALASKA NORTHERN RAILWAY
 IS IN 4 PRETTY BAD FIX

Washington, October 14. - By q pocket veto President Taft has killed the bill granting tho Alaska Northern Railway Company an e1tsnslon of time in which to complete Its line. The measure as it passed both houses of Congress gave the company three years from the passage of tho act in which to file it's maps, etc, and two years thereafter in which to complete con- struction work.
 It is stated that the President vetoed the bill at the request of Secretary of tho Interior Fisher, who objected to it's passage, declaring that the govern ment may decide to take over the rail- road and complete it to the Matanuska coalfelds.

NOVI IS NOW
 RUBY'S HOPE

Writing to Duncan Michie under date of September 26, Alex Cameron indicates that the hopes of that section are now centered on the Novi, where there will be several outfits prospecting this winter.
 Long creek has not so far come up to expectations, although two outfits which havo been working on the creek all summer have made an even break Much will depend on what is found this winter, as there is lot of machinery waiting to be hauled out when the trails become passable, and much pros. pecting will be done.
 On Tamarack creek, tributary Of the Salatna, Shorty Powers reported pay last July. On the strength of his reports sluice-box lumber was sent over, but the boxes were never set up There is nothing new from that sec tion since then.

In big Game Shooting In Upper

nous rogue elephant that had for some
time terrOrized the Jungle and that had
finally been laid low by a bullet from
the majors rife. The author says:
He measured nine feet seven inches
at the shoulders and had but one tusk.
That, however, was beauty and
weighed close to forty pounds. The
other tusk had been broken OF at the
root, probably In fight. took a
bunch Of maggots as big as a football
out Of the broken tusk. The poor beast
must have endured agonies similar to

causes him constant pain and turns
him from an inoffensive beast into Q

Poets and novelists alike have given
mythical texture and color to the lotus
The elder Dumas spoke Of lotus dow.
er pure white and with petals as deli.
cate as nne muslin" Nor did the an.
clients treat the matter with more
truth Herodotus spoke OF the lotus
as Of a plant which habitually de-
scended below the surface Of the wa
ter at sunset to return to view only
with the temperance Of the sun. The
lotus known to modern man goes be-
low the surface Of the water, like all
nymphaeas, when Its beauty and its
freshness have passed and when the
time has come to ripen its seed pod
Then by the law Of life Il closes its
corolla and goes away from the air
and the sunshine down into the water
to prepare for the future Of its family
It goes at the time when the sun sets,
but 1t does not reappear. When 10
goes down as an individual 1t is gone
forever. The petals described by Du-
mas as being "as white as the SHOWS
Of Himalaya" are not pure white, nor
can anything be called with Justice
''as white rs the lotus flower" be-
cause a lotus flower may be red or
blue as well as white.-Harper's.

According to the Encyclopaedia Bri.

derived from Icelandic "steik," used In
the same sense as the English word,
which meant properly roasted meat,
from steikja. to roast--that is, placed
on a stick or peg Of wood before the
fire compare Swedish. sick; Danish,
sick, roast meat"
The same authority says: "A 'por-
terhouse' steak is choice cut Of steak
from the loin, 30 named, apparently,
first In New York from a well known
porter house and eating house where
chops, steaks. etc, and porter or stout
were served. at which these steaks
were speciality.
"a steak grilled between two other
steaks, which are not served after the
cooking is finished. is also sometimes
called 'porterhouse' steak"

would such practice as the latter be
very generally followed, however.-Na-
