Doe Hill

May 49, Thursday May 9Th the
51st anniversary of the battle of
Mcdowell, a, number of ladies Of
the county met in the village, in
the mansion House, the hosplta-
BILE home of Mr.. and Mrs. J. B.

the county who contemplate join
ing the chapter, would apply to
Mrs. E. A. McNulty, registrar, for
application blanks, and have them
filled and unite with us on the date
above mentioned, place of meeting

very nice for the ladies to take
lunch or refreshments and serve to
any old soldiers who may wish to
be present; make it a day of social
enjoyment. Should like to hear
from the ladies in regard to this.
We are very much gratifed at
the outlook Of our chapter, start

Mikes Orders

Mike had just been elected to office and new automobile was added to his earthly possessions. The day that it was brought home he said to his mother: "You and your friend, Mrs. O'Brien, may go for spin this after- noon, but do keep still; this chauffeur is an inquisitive chap and any conver- sation distracts bis attention and he forgets his business"
 In compliance, the two old ladies rode for several miles. Finally Mrs. O'Brien gently touched the chauffeur on the arm and said, "I know that talk ing is strictly prohibited in this auto- mobile, but 1 feel that 1 must tell you that our friend fell out of the machine about fifteen minutes ago."-National Monthly.

That Road Tax

Compelling poor prospectors and working miners to pay eight dollars for road tax in Alaska seems to be one of the most absurd and useless acts of ex- tortion that man could think of, says the Nome Nugget. It is found by the report of the road overseer for this dis trict that 288 individuals, most Of whom are men who literally live by the sweat of their brows, were compelled by law to fork out money for the build- ing of roads for the government of country that is the richest on earth.
 Why, if we heard of such law exist ing in China or Turkey we should put it down to the lack of civilization or to the degrees of slavery to which the poor of those nations have sunk.
 But, here in Alaska where the wage worker has made it possible by his in- dustry to add millions upon millions to the wealth of the nation he is thank ed by being held up for the money which comes to him through tolls and hardships which the men who imposed the tax could never have known or they would never have passed the law.

Here Nome has been living in false paradise for several years, never doubt ing for moment it's own perfect love- Illness of character, while all the time a great portion of it's population called it name which translated means the very opposite of what we believed our selves to be, says the Nugget. Sin.thra' swak is the name by which the Eski- mos know our fair city, and Sin thra- swak means, purely and simply and literally, Something crooked" The Eskimo language has been fully mas. tered by resident of Nome and it's grammar arranged and vocabulary compiled. One very remarkable fact about the language is that besides Greek, it is the only tongue which has dual case It will say one "man," three or four "men," but when speak ing about two it changes the form of the noun and, as an example, man or men might become mon. Snake river has no particular name. When allud ing to any stream the Eskimo simply says "the river," which in his own lan- guage is Nook. Nook puk is big river and by that word they speak of the Yukon. The Kobuk probably received it's name that way also. SIedge island is pronounced ia. Two words are used for snow, or rather two accommodations for the same word. They are apun and avun. See guk is ice. Noone seems to know how Nome first got the name of being something crooked. There is still hope that our fellow citizens did not mean the description as reflection of our moral character. The name may after all have been suggested by the contour of some of our streets, particu- larly In the suburb so frequently visited by our critics.

From 535 ounces of amalgam that represented the last cleanup on the Newsbo property on Cleary creek, a gold brick weighing 231 ounces was ob. tained, says the Fairbanks Times. The amalgam was brought in by Louis Col den, manager of the mine, and retorted by l.. M. Drury, the assayer. As the cleanup was made after l0l tons of ore had been run through the mill, the value of the brick places the average gold contents of the ore at about $40 to the ton, every bit as promising as the previous cleanups made since the ore shoot between the 215-foot and 315.foot levels was opened up.

Because of the fact that the Copper river flows for short distance through a mountainous district, where gigantic engineering feats were performed in the construction of railroad, the pop ular idea of the district is that it is rough and rugged, fit only for scenery and mountain climbing. On the con- trary. the river flows through fertile and charming plateau, rich in rolling prairies and bottom lands. Here are cattle ranges and coal fields and lands broad enough to maintain population of half million people.

Alaska Gold

The Nome district of Alaska has been the heaviest contributor to the business of the United States assay office in Se- attle, according to the report of Assayer in-Chief c. E. Villas. The next Alaska district in importance is the Tanana. British Columbia has been a large patron of the Seattle office, and since it's organization has contributed ap- proximateIy one-half of the total re ceipts of gold.
 Since the organization of the office in July 1898, deposits to the number of 50,996 have been made, comprising 419.2 tons of gold, worth S2l0,407 ,068.99, while Alaska deposited S105,699,z50.

BIGGEST SUSPENSION BRIDGE.
Structure over Hudson at New York
Will Be 1880 Feet Long.

NEW YORK, April 23.-The tallest
bridge towers in the world viii loom
over the Hudson when the states of
New York and New Jersey erect the
great suspended roadway that is now
being planned. From bedrock to pin
nacle the twin towers will be 7f5 feet
high, only 30 feet short of the height
of the Eiffel tower. Their height over
water will be 500 feet. This along
with other features Of the proposed
bridge was outlined to the legislature
in a report submitted Yesterday by the
New York State Bridge and Tunnel
commission. If approval il obtained
from the legislatures and the problems
of finance are solved the bridge will be
Gnished probably by 1920. Its esti-
mated cost is So, 100000 which takes
in the price to be paid for real estate,
engineering expenses and all other de
tails of the project.
The commission came to the conclu-
sion that the best place to locate a
bridge would be between Fifty-sevcnth
and Fifty-eighth streets in Manhattan
from Ninth avenue to the Boulevard
in Weehawken. It is suggested also
that bridge could be built across the
Hudson at 10th street and that 179th
street at Fort Washington Park woulj
be another excellent location. AS the
plans stand now bridge $500 feet
/ long is to be built. 1t will have two
/ driveways each 80 feet wide, and two
sidewalks each eight feet wide, in ad
dition to the roadways for trolley cars
