CORN ON THE COZ.

Duluth Herald: What luxury is
there in the whole wide range OF
things good to eat that Eel begins to
approach corn on the cob? Men rave
about the strawberry. and truly its
lusciousness entities it to a high place
in mems regard. Yet there IRE those
who prefer prunes. and even aside
] from that. imagine a hungry man get
: ting any real satisfaction out Of straw
berries. He couldn't do it.
The watermelon finds much favor,
but the first part Of its name forms
90 great q proportion of its makeup
that when one has eaten half a large
melon he is really no better fed than
IL he had swallowed a gallon. OF SO Of
pink lemonade.
But corr on the cob-well, nothing
else II quite in the same class. The
sense OF accomplishment, of doing
something, which modern educators
tell vi 10 inherent in all the race. is
satisfied n the teeth crunch their way
through the kernels. And II you
: think anybody is void Of that sense,
just watch him as he removes the cob
from before his mouth and looks with
evident satisfaction at the place where
he has just gnawed off the seeds.
Furthermore, there is enough SUBJ
stance to it to 9atisfy the appetite. If
you doubt 1t, try it sometimes and see
how few cobs you will have to take
care Of before you begin to get over
the feeling Of hunger and are ready
to heave that first sigh that begins to
indicate the satisfaction Of appetite.
And above everything else there is
the taste Of 1t. Um-m-m! There is
where you get the natural sweetness
is where you get away from all the
frumpery and chemistry Of the kitch-
ZEN. and fnd yourself down to bed rock
I'm the matter Of flavor. Close your
you MUNICH and you can ssee
waving cornfields and all the joliiest
scenes Of your younger days.
Maybe some of the satisfaction we
get out Of eating corn on the cob is
a kind Of barking back to the pre-
historic days when our ancestors took
bones In their hands and handled
them az the small boy Of today handles
the Thanksgiving drumstick. Or may
be 1t isn't that at all. This much is
cortain-that when you tamely cut

faction. And the satisfaction itself is
90 great that nobody cares how much
the butter gets smeared around his
mouth. or how long It takes him to
get the shells out Of his teeth after
wards.
Then hats on-or rather manners
o6-to corn on the cob, the chiefest
delicacy in the menu Of the season and
the one that not only takes us back
the farthest into the history Of the
I race. but raises US nearest childhood's
ideal OF carelessness Of appearance
and that safety Of appetite which puts
the gruchiest Of us all on the, plane
Of simple humanity and worldwide
brotherhood.

ONLY REMAINING WORK
 NEAR WHITE RIVER

All that remains to be done to the Alaska boundary survey, according to J. D. Craig, head of the Canadian end of that work, is to mark about 50 miles of the Hist degree of longitude in the White river and Chitina country That work will be finished this sum mer. Mir. Craig came North on the Princess May, and joined Thomas Riggs, Jr., at Skagway. They went in together, and will work together. Speaking of his work, Mir. Craig said:
 This season will probably witness the completion of the survey of the Alaska boundary line along the one hundred and forty-frst meridian from Mount St. Elias to the Arctic ocean, separating Alaska from the Yukon ter ritory. The work all the way from the Yukon to the Arctic was finished last wear. The last gap, now being GOV cred by parties representing the Unit cd States and Dominion governments is only so miles long. It extends through the White river and Chitina river districts.

 ALL ATLIN DISTRICT

O'Donnen creek has taken first place among the producing creeks of the Atlin country. Already it is pro- ducing a great deal of gold, and the plans for more active season there are being worked out. Recently a road 50 feet wide and of excellent grade from Atlin to that creek was started by the British Columbia gov ernment.
 The following items in the Skag' way Alaskan are confirmatory of the excellent outlook on o'Donnell creek:
 William Hood has arrived from O. Donnen creek and says that things are looking good, and that it will be the coming camp of the district. O. Donnen is rapidly becoming big pro ducer. He says there are lots of oth CT creeks tributary to ODonnell which are also to be good producers.

SKAGWAY, June 1.-The body Of Mir. Sandberg, the Silver creek stam- peder, who was frozen to death last winter has been found. An Indian going over the trail few days ago found the body some distance above the timber line at the mountain, where it had lain all winter. The Indian brought the corpse down to the tim Der. and cached it in tree. It is very likely that the burial will take place where the body now rests as no instructions have been received from any of Sandberg's Relatives re- garding the disposal of the dead man when found.
