An knpaiachian Door.

Any one of tact and common sense
can go as he pleases through the dark
est corner of Appalachia without being
molested. says a writer in Outing.
Tact however. implies the will and
the insight to put yourself truly in the
other mans place. Imagine yourself
born. bred. circumstanced like him. 1t
implies also the courtesy of doing as
you would be done by if you were in
that fellows shoes-no arrogance, no
condescension. but man to man on a
footing Of equal manliness.
And there are manners" in the rud-
est community-customs and rules of
conduct that it is well to learn before
one goes far afield For example.
when you stop at mountain cabin If
no dogs sound an alarm do not walk
up to the door and knock. You are
expected to call out Hello" until
some one comes out to inspect you.
None but the most intimate neigh
bors neglect this usage. and there is
mighty good reason back of it in a
land where the path to ones door may
be a warpath.-New York Herald.

lured to Destruction.

The habitants Of the Scilly islands
In the old days looked upon the &C.
currence of wreck as a blessing Of
providence. and stories are extant
about thanks being offered for wreck
in various parts Of the country.
Some of the stories told us by the
islanders themselves. says Country
Life. show that there was an almost
diabolical cleverness in the way in
which the storm tossed mariner was
lured to destruction. For example. it
was common to burn false lights, that
were calculated to bring the ships on
the rocks instead of warning them
away. and worse, even, than this was
done.
There was at one time gang Of
wreckers, who. when a storm was
brewing. fastened bright light to the
horns of COW and sent her to Craze
along the cliffs. to the bewilderment
and deception of the sailors. Needless
to say. this spirit has entirely changed

Queer Eskimo Customs.

Every ten years the Eskimos hold
the dance to the dead. when ghosts are
supposed to come out Of their collins
and visit the Kos-ga. where they are
given feast, and retire well filed for
another ten years. Sometimes the food
is taken to the burying ground to save
the spirits the trouble of moving.
When child is born among the island
ers 1t takes the name Of the last de-
ceased member of the family, and on
it devolves the duty Of feeding its fos-
ter fathers spirit The Eskimos have
a horror of being childless because.
their spirits will languish and their
name be forgotten. AS they say:
"S'pose no mix "a nina tchildren)-ghost
plenty hungry" Often an Eskimo will
beggar himself. giving great feast in
honor of his illustrious ancestor. but
he gains great renown thereby and
places all his visitors under lifelong
obligations to him.-Wide World Maya

A Scotch caddie is almost certain to
be a shrewd observer of men and

a sharp tongue of his own.
Lang Willie was for many years a
well known figure on the St Andrews

Kossuth's visit to St Andrews a pub

Willie applied for ticket to the bailie

To blow out an egg make small
hole in each end. bore the holes with
a large darning needle or hatpin, press

TRANSMISSION PROJECT
 TO ELECTRIFY INTERIOR
O-O

FAIRBANKS, Nov. 12.-With view 10 entering the mining business and the light and power business in the Fairbanks district, the Canadian Klon- dyke Mining company, better known as Joe Boyles company, has had an agent here for the past month inves- tigating the matter. It is the plan of the company to extend it's lines from Dawson through the Fortymile district, the Eagle district and the Circle dis trict to Fairbanks, furnishing power to everybody along the route
 While the distance from Dawson to Fairbanks is great, the agent states that by a recent invention over the old insular system, it is possible to trans init power for 400 miles with no great CT loss than it would to transmit it 50 miles under the old system.
 The Boyle company expects, if it en- ters the field, to generate its power on the KlOndike .river, with an auxil- iary plant on Coal creek. This latter would be used only in case the former was disabled.

PLANS TO
 BURN ALASKA COAL

FAIRBANKS, Nov. 12.-In the hope of opening up the coal lands for home consumption, a number of mining men of this district and others who are outside, but who have interests in Fair banks, have opened communication with Senator George Chamberlain of Oregon. The prime movers in the matter stated that the mining men were anxious to secure the passage of a federal law whereby the coal lands would be put upon the same basis as the wood lands of the public domain, until such time as Congress should see fit to open up the resources for general use.
 It is cOntended that, if this were done, the local office of the land de- partment could look after the issuing of permits, and the miners could then obtain good fuel at little cost. The particular reason that the mining men are anxious to obtain this legislation is that a number of Eastern capital ists have expressed their intention of investing in the low-grade ground as soon as coal is obtainable.

INTERIOR MAN MURDERED
 BY DRlNK-CRAzED RUSSIAN
-O-O--

ATLIN, Nov. 7.-Clarence Howell is the name of the man who was shot dead at Telkwa last Tuesday after noon. The bullet went through his lungs, and from the first there was no possible hope of recovery. He ling cred for a few hours, finally passing away that evening. Liquor was at the bottom of the tragedy.
 Howell was a young man, and not much is known as to his history. It appears that he had been working on Jack McDonald's ranch. He went into Telkwa, and met a Russian Finn. They had a few rounds of drinks. Presently, according to the story told locally, Howell and the Finn worked themselves up into quarrelsOme mood. It is said that Howell called the Finn an abusive name Then the Finn drew a revolver and fired point blank at Howell. This happened in Telkwa bar. The man who did the shooting made no effort to do any further shooting, and did not seek to escape. Constable Grant was early acquainted with the shooting, and he at once put the Russian under arrest The following day Coroner Hoskins held an inquest. The prisoner is still in jail at Atlin.

HUERTA DEFES UNITED STATES AND DISAPPEARS
ATTY. LIE FEVRE TAXES
 CASE AGAINST GOVT
o-o

A claim against the government for damage done to small craft by the General Hubbard while docking at the city wharf last Sunday night is being compiled by Judge H. B. LeFevre, at tOrney for the Claimants. The ship being under charter to the government, for the bureau of mines, instead of li- beling the vessel, which is the usual course, a claim for damages will be filed with the government. The yes sels sustaining injury are the launch Midnight Sun, of Wrangell, and owned by Ingvard Feness, Martin Rasmussen, Alstrom Antonson, all of whom are hal
 but fishermen of Alaska; the launch Union, of Juneau, owned by l.. B. Ad- sit, of Juneau and used for general charter; the launch Kong Sverre, of Port Townsend, owned by Rev. P. NJ. Posse of Seattle, John Berg, master engaged in fishing.
 A board of survey consisting of Capt Waldo B. States, master mariner, Capt Edward A. McDougal. master ma rine engineer, who have chosen John Nelson, master ship carpenter, as the third member. will make an eXamin- atiOn and appraise the damages done to the vessels. The boats have been beached in order that an immediate survey can be made.
 The statement sets forth that the Union was lying at the float south of Young's wharf; the Midnight Sun abreast of the north end of YOungs wharf; the Kong Sverre laying the out CT boat in a tier of four boats mOOred to the float north of the city wharf; the Anita Phillips, fishing schooner, lying outside the Midnight Sun. The General Hubbard came up the chan nel. the statement continues, and turn ed to dock at the City wharf, striking the Kong Sverre with the bulge of her bow and tearing the rail off the lat ter, then struck her bow against the north end of the city wharf, and the stern of the General Hubbard swung shoreward striking the Anita Philips which smashed into the Midnight Sun: the Union immediately astern was damned by the stern of the Anita Phil lips.
 It is claimed that the Midnight Sun is practically a total wreck from be- ing crushed and that the other yes sels have sustained serious injury. The first named vessel is a new boat and is said to have cost $25OO.
 People who were along the water front when the General Hubbard came in, state that she came in like a rail road train and that when she struck the wharf it shook all of the buildings including the immense cold storage plant occupying a large part of the wharf area.
