STUPEND0US TASK
 MOVING DREDGEs
0uggenheims Having Hard Time Landing Dredge at Idita-
 rod City

SiupcnduuS, almost, is the task that cnnfronts the Guggrnheim men in the Idilarod district, ac- cordinG to T. J. N"stor. The giant lgOld-digGcr that is to be installed on Flat creek is awaiting ship ment from Dikcman tn Iditarod. but because of the low water, the bulk of the machinery cannot be moved. A fleet of small vessels is engaged in frcighting the parts up the river to Flat City, and of them the steamer Little Delta, Si Atwell, owner, is doing the best work.
 The drcdgr weighs 700 tons and Is to Dc transported to IditarOd by water. From there to Flat City it. will be carried overland by the tram company, who have a con- tract for the work. Ncstor re- ports that the day before he left the ldilarnd, tho syndicatr's two Keystone drills reached there from the Yukon and were to be srt up Immediately for use on Oi- ter creek.
 Considerable gold ir coming in- tn IdiIarnd from the small opcr- atnrS who arc continuing their work, despite the GugGrnhcim ac- tivity in the camp. The three largest out ifs on Flat crock, Ait ken & Riley, Friend. Lawson & James and Doe" Mading, did not start work this season at all. A number of small outfits on the benches and on other creeks in fhr district are adding tn the out put. and if is probable that if the Guggenheims get their dredge in operation by the time they look for. the output of the camp will be about the same as last year.

Dad Ingram Comes Home With a Surprise for Ills Spouse and
 Is Surprised In Turn

IL was jolly crowd of Valdez people who came home on the Alameda. Over their table in the dining saloon hung large ban ncr bearing the inscription :: "Valdcz." which was hung on the "outcr wall'' whenever a port was reached. Dad Ingram, one of the returning passengers, before starting for the north, purchased a beautiful cloak for Mrs. In- gram and had it nicely packed in a LoX and when he arrived pre- scnted it 10 his helpmate. When Mrs. Ingram opened the package she found it to contain two life prcservers stencilcd in approved fashion with the name of the steamer on which her husband took passage. A little quiet de- tective work showed that Al. Sul- livan and Harry Shultz had pur- Joined the cloak and filled the box with life prescrvers.

 "DOn't you fool yourself," re- turned the Alaskan, feeling that it was up to him tO vindicate his icountrymen. "See that fellow leaning against the rail down there. Doesn't look like he is worth 30 cents, does he? Well, he could write his check for S5O,- 900 and still buy few meal tick cts even at the present high cost of living"
 You don't say!' bramcd the sweet young thing.
 Sure, Mike" continued the sOurdOu9h. Its nothing for a man to have $5O,0OO or $iOO,OOO in this country. There was one old-timer who gave his girl her weight in gold; another made a practice of taking champagne baths; another bought up all the eggs in the country so he could feed his affinity on eggs. Money! why, the average Alaskan doesn't think anything of making and los ing dozen fortunes. They like work so well that il is nothing un- common to see them doing long shore work and other laboring stunts just for the fun of it. You cant judge AlaskanS by appear ance."
 ,I n sweet young thing suddenly de- vclopcd an absorbing interest in the man he had pointed out lean- ing against the rail, and in order lo protect her innocence he thought il well to again inter- fpre, and said to her later:
 Don't you whisper to. a soul what I'm going to tell you, girlie; i; but that man used to steal cattle in Montana and goes by another name. You can be too careful about these Alaskans. Lots Tof them came to this country to bury their past and because the officers outside were too active. You're a nice little girl, and like you, and don't want to see you get in wrong"
 Thus another romance was nip- ped in the bud, and the man who leaned against the rail Is still wondering wherein he erred.-Cor- dova Alaskan.

When at his best Mr.. Hassam COM
mands the admiration of the eXacting'
for the delcacy of his feeling for FORM

engaging beauty in the occasional exam
ples of his nudes, among trees or on
rocks. that do not smack of formula. 1t
Is equally true that Mr.. Hassam attains
now and then a level of color harmony
that gives pleasure of distinct sort, as
in the background Of the large square
picture, THE Jonquils," which occupies
n conspicuous place at the Montross
show. Most of all, his textures, his
method Of brushing on his pigment, seem
fortunate.
There are paintings here that fairly
represent the man at his most success

find the pearly flesh tones, the passages
of luscious quality and the expressive

of real individuality. Here was some
thing that interested him in more than
q perfunctory way. Such moments are
not too frequent. There is another one,
however, in the rather diffuse but still
handsome picture Of the vintage Of 1902,

sam has felt the glamour Of the light on
the snow and the arching beauty Of the
lines Of the great steel structure. He
has also conveyed TO the observer some
thing Of his own zest in what he saw. It
has happened again in Sunlight on an

with it's touch Of architectural feeling In
the symmetrical tree that stands by the
white building. And there are others
In looking anew at these examples Of
what Childe Hassam has done, one likes
his straightforward attitude toward his
art and at the same time misses the ele-
ment of creative imagination. Even at
his best this artist has little Of the
really compelling about him. One ad-
mires but one does not love what he has
