PLANT THAT STORES WATER
Desert Plant Which Acts as a Nat

A peculiar plant function, which DR.
Mae Dougal and his associates are in

Ellsworth Huntington, i'll Harper
Magazine. felt as if we had become
almost As skillful as Indians when We
took our first drink from a chunky
barrel cactus DR.. MacDougal cut off
the top with a big sheath knife. Then
we pounded the pulpy interior with
the butt end of a stock of the green
barked pale verde tree.
1t was hard work. for our cactus
was unusually large and tough. Lit
tie by little. however, the fibre broke
up. cool drops OF sap flew up into our
faces at every blow. and soon mass
OF soft broken pulp filled the hollow
which our pounding had produced in
the top OF the truncated cactus
With our hands we squeezed the
fluid out of the pulp into the hollow,
and then drank it-a whitish. but not

All the cacti and many other desert
species OF the xerrophytic type pos

remain moist is amazing.
DR.. McDougal has removed several
specimens from the ground and placed
them in dry air for several years. No
new water has been accessible To the
plants. and yet year after year they
keep on thriving. The gourdlike stor-
age organs OF the dubious stem of
the Ibervilia which he placed in the

PLACER C0LD FIELDS FOUND IN THREE CREEKS NEAR VHE0RSE
YOUTHFUL MURDERER
 SUFFERS EXTREME PENALTY

Atlanta, Ga, Oct. 14-Leo M. Frank, youthful superintendent of the National Pencil Company, on Friday paid the extreme penalty for the brutal murder of 15-year-old Mary Phagan, who worked in the factory for a few dollars week. Frank, who was sentenced to death on Aug. 27, after a trial lasting five weeks, leaves a mother and young wife who live in Brooklyn, N. Y.
 Franks crime was particularly re- volting. Mary Phagan's body, bearing evidence of the fight she had made to preserve her honor, was found in the cellar of the pencil factory, of which he was superintendent and his uncle is president. At first the po- lice were completely baffled. Then came stories from girls in the fac tory that they had frequently seen younger girl employees called into Franks office after the factory had closed at six o'clock. On these oc- casions, the girls said, negro guard stood outside Franks door. The visitors always went in singly. Some of these visitors were located by the police. They told the details of the visits and Frank was arrested after one of them said Mary had told her she was going to see Frank. Frank protested his innocence throughout and his mother and girl wife stood by him even after sentence of death was pronounced on him. Under a grilling cross questioning, however the negro guard was forced to ad- init that Mary Phagan had been coaxed into Franks office the night before her body was found.

Discoverer Pans Out Ounce Per Day-Find Kept Secret For Several Days-Old Time Stampede Now on
 From Whitehorse

The ground prospects one ounce per day to man working with pick and shoy- el. The creeks are from twelve to twenty miles in length.
 Old prospectors, who have been to the new strike and who have had years of experience in the plac- CT fields of the north, pronounce the appearance of the creeks to be most promising.
 Two of the three discoveries were made within less than one miles of the W. p. & Y. Railroad near Dug dale station.

WAR SECRETARY
 BOASTS SOLDIERS

Washington, Oct. 14-Secretary O War Garrison. at the banquet tend cred him last week by the officers Of the army now stationed in Wash mgtou or at Qualifications, was m- stiutiug in his praise of the officers Of the army and severely rapped the enlisted men, whom he said were causing public autagonism by their own actions and behavior in public places.
 The conduct of many enlisted men at public places had caused the pub lie to frown upon the army and had prevented many men of better ed ucatiou and morals from enlistiug. causing the men who disired to hold up the traditions of the army, who were now iu the service, as much shame as the officers or the gener- al public.
 General Garrison hopes to raise the level of the enlisted man and to secure eulistmeuts of men who will make the service a profession and not a haven for those who are un-

WARM MUNICIPAL FIGHT
 NOW ON IN CLEVELAND

Cleveland, Ohio, Oct. 14-What promises to be one of the hottest campaigns ever witnessed ill Cleye- land, even rivalling the famous Tom IL. Johnson "election wars, began in earnest Friday with the opening of tent meetings all over the city by the Democratic organization which is solidly backing Mayor Newton D.. Baker. Speeches will be made in the tents every evening from tonight un til election. Mayor Baker himself, will make from two to four speeches in as many tents every evening. The Republicans will open up their or atorical batteries in a few days.
 Considerable speculation is rife among politicians as to the outcome of the contest since it will be the first municipal election in which the non-Dartisan ballot will be used. No primaries were held this year, the candidates getting their names on the ballot by petitions with no par ry designations.
 The successful candidate will take office under the new city charter which is declared to be the most progressive ever adopted by any city in the United States, and the Hast word" in home rule for cities. The mayor is given direct control over almost every city department. He and the twenty-six councilmen are the only elective officials.

NO DISPARAGENIENT INTENDED
 OF c. P. R. SYSTEM

In the article in yesterdays Daily Alaskan in reference to the Skag- way service of the c. M. & St. Paul railway, there was no intention on the part of the writer to disparage the excellent service of the same character by the c. P. R. that has prevailed here for tho past six years, 1 Our relations with the c. P. R. people have always been of such a pleasant nature that we greatly re- gret that even a suspicion of crit icism of their service should have crept into our columns. Below we publish a communication on the above mentioned subject from MT. ! F. F. w. Lowle, the Skagway repre- sentative of the c. P. R.
 Skagway, Oct. 13, 1913. Dear Mr. Editor:-
 A stranger to the North, after reading the write-up in your issue of 18th inst, would be justified in thinking the c. NJ. S P. s. R. R. was giving the residents in the North opportunities never before of fered, but, happily, most Alaksaus and Yukoners are aware the Skag- way Agency of the Canadian Pacific Railway can arrange trip from Skagway to any point in this world. We are able to substantiate the statement that this office offers greater facilities to the travelling public than any Agency north of 5+. The Slagway Agency of the Cana dian Pacific Railway have almost daily for the last six years been ticketiug passengers through to all destinations. The actual rail and sleeper ticket is furnished here and baggage checked through, so that no matter whether passenger is des- tined East to Europe or West to China OF New Zealand he steps out of the Skagway Agency fully equip ped for his trip without further trouble or expense.
 The Skagway Agency of the Cana dian Pacific Railway is the only transportation office in the north completely equipped with rail, sleep CT Atlantic and Pacific Ocean tar ifs and tickets and are also Agents in full capacity for the famous Gu nard Line and the P. & O. s. s. Co. and through bill of lading on freight can be issued las far as London, England, as is done regular ly on furs from the Yukon.
 Therefore, AIr. Editor, l know you will agree the c. P. R. have been and are a blessing to the north in that they have set the pace in transportation matters both rail and steamship and plans are already matured to improve on this.
 The writer remembers with pleas ure he had the honour of arranging your own trip East and back, which IHthiuk, was found satisfactory and at this present moment is arranging an around-the-world trip for two res7 idents in the Yukon.
 Yours faithfully,
 r. F. W. LOwle,
 General Agent for Alaska & Yu- kon. Canadian Pacific Ky. & s. s. Lines.
