RED TABLE CLOTH
 ENRAGED THE BULLS

There was a strange occurrence down at Valdez cafe the other day while a jury were seated around a table 'utth a red cloth on it, when all at once three different mem bers of the jury commenced to scrapo their feet on the floor and shake their , cads in a most threat eniug manner. The walters wore their most pleasing smile and did everything to entertain them and to ascertain what caused their dis comfiture. Finally, one of them believed" out shat he did not like the cloth on the table. Then it dswued upon the proprietor that the three were eS-aeputy marshals, or guards, and that the color of the cloth enraged them. The cloth was changed to white one and the bulls" braln-storm subsided.-Val- dez CommOner.

KLONDIILE MINES RAILWAY
 SHUT DOWN FOR WINTER

The Klondike Mines railway shut down last evening for the winter af- ter a very successful open season. The locomotives and cars are all in their winter quarters, and not a wheel will turn until spring.
 During the last twenty-seyen days the company hauled from lower Bo- uanza to the Dome one of the Yu- .,on Gold dredgos, weighing 1,OO0 tons. The dredge was knocked dow recently, and a spur was built right to the edge of the old pond. The heavy parts were handled with cranes. All the material will be hauled from ske Dome to No. 12 Gold Run on sIeighs this winter. Tn pit on No. F was dug this fall.
 The railway hauled this season approximately 35,OOO cords of wood, which was hauled from the mouth of Bonanza ard the mouth of the KIondike to points along Bonanza from g5 below to 35 above. It will be used lu thawing the ground for the Yukon Gold cOmpany's s dredges.

Evolution in Park-5uiIding.

A change is coming to park affairs,
the ideals are taking more compre-
hensive form, and better suited to the
needs of the people. AS the park mis-
sion is being better unders -ood. parks
are no longer rarity, but are COM
mon. While est etical requirements
are greater, yet they are being better
adapted to everyday use.
1t is necessary that what we do
shall be symbolic Of some thought or
feeling, that it shall be physical ex-
preston of some desire or purpose.
We are not only learning these things,
but also that the parks are more for
the people, and that the people who
rove over them are the most beautiful
feature a park can contain, and that
no park, no matter how barren and un-
slightly it may be when empty, cal lot
be devoid Of utility and beauty when
filed with people enjoying themselves.

7 Helps Y
KEEPING ROADS IN CONDITION
Use Of OIL, Following the Vogue Of the
Automobile, Has Been Found to
Be Most Effective.

The use Of oil upon the roads is one
Of the many interesting innovations
that have followed the introduction OF
the automobile. The wheel Of the car
not only raises the loose dust Of the
road, but, as the flattened part OF the
tire becomes once more rounded on
leaving the ground, actually tears and
disintegrates the surface itself.
AS the foundation of the best road
oil, asphaltum-which Is present In
large amounts In the California and
Texas oils-is unrivaleo. In fact, an
authority on the subject declares In
the New York Sun that road oil 10
effective precisely in proportion to the
amount of asphaltum 1t carries.
There are three methods Of using
the oil. In the most thorough process
the road surface is first broken by the
plow. 1t is then sprinkled with the
heaviest oil-half a gallon to gallon
of oil to the square yard-and then
narrowed and rolled. A lasting road
bed results. This process, with vari'
GUS notifications, has been much used
in California.
Another method that is coming into
very general use in the east is to pre-.
pare the roadbed by resurfacing the
crown of the road and brushing off the
dust. Over this the road oil is sprin.
kled from a cart, about half gallon
to the square yard. It is usual to oil
only half of the road at time, for
traffic should be kept from the oiled
surface for couple of days. The
preparation will last a whole season;
but if the oiling Is done oftener, it will
result in an enduring asphalted surf
ace
The third method less permanently
effective, is sprinkling the road with
emulsifed oil, a mixture of oil, water
and saponifying chemicals-which
lays the dust and binds the road surf.
ace, but which calls for reapplication
every few weeks. If the emulsifled
oil has a true asphaltum base, this
method will ultimately result in dur.
able asphaltum roadbed.
1t may be added that many OF the
California crude oils we're SO weighted
with asphaltum that for a long time
they were used as fuel only. The
chemists, however, have found way
to extract the naphtha and kerosene
and leave the asphalturh almost pure
for this new use.
