The work on the dam of the Power company in Solomon ba- sin has progressed very fast and the new dam built alongside of the old one is now If feet high-- the same height as the former one.
 The crew working on dam con- struction have all been ordered on the work of preparing the Hume line, as the slave pipe is now on the ground and must be laid and ready for the machinery, which is expected on one of the next boats.
 The condition of the trail is worrying Superintendent Quinn and President Temple, as the new machinery will consist of heavy pieces, which may give consider able trouble in hauling over the soft trail from the beach to the basin.

fight against the Cold Storage company, which will be some thing else again.
 I'll. B. Parkin, manager of the Cold Storage company here, is to be the manager for Waechter Bros. It was his management which put the White Market out of business, and he will bring to the new meat concern the knoWl- edge of how to put one over on the old company in the employ of which he learned the trick. Sam Taggart, a good mixer from Nome, will have command of the Cold Storage batteries, and if sam loses any trade it will be because the other fellow can underbid him, for Sam is old in the game and need ask no special consid- eration from any other meat salesman this far north. The Waechter Bros. will be kept busy driving the meat into Fairbanks to keep the game going, and the people will again have the fresh and good meats they had last summer, and which they of late have been fearing they might never meet up with again.
 Sharpen your teeth, work up Ia good appetite and prepare for the meat war that is to come.
 Tt will be good

Ponderous Personages--Socrates.
 (By George Fitch,)

Socrates was a crank who lived about 2,50O years ago when the climate was exceedingly unheal- thy for cranks. The coroner's verdict on Socrates was that he died of too many ideas.
 Socrates lived in Greece, which was about the only country worth living in in the 5th century B. c. He received a good Athens edu- cation which consisted at that time of athletics, sculpture and music, but instead of plying him. self to business and producing his share of marble statues, he frit- tered away his time studying ge- ometry, astronomy, Latin and other fads. He then married Xantippe, and soon afterwards began to spend all his time on the street corners under the pretense of discussing important subjects. But those who knew Xantippe's temper and her skill in hurling the flatiron laughed coarsely at this excuse.
 Socrates was Hoplite for a while when young man, but soon re- covered or was released OF failed of election--depending on what ''Hoplite" was. Then he threw himself into the teaching of phil |osophy and spent the rest of his life searching the dark and un- fathOn1rd chaSmS in the human understanding of those days. His method of teaching was to loaf on the street corner until he got a crowd and then get his admirers to ask him questions. Survivors of the free silver campaign of '9G will remember how easy it is to do the uuestioner and the admin iStratiun into a French twist by this method.
 Socrates lived to the age of 70, acquiring a long curly beard and a reputation for being able to si- lence anyone in Greece on any subject in a catch-as-catch-can debate. He disagreed with ev- erything the Athenians believed in and even attempted to reform some of the old gods. This aroused the fire of the republi- cans, who condemned him to death. However, he could have escaped on a technicality if he had not been so argumentative. But he took the ground that he was entitled to pension instead of death and argued about it un- til the authorities made him drink hemlock to shut off the de- bate.
 Socrates invented a philosophy and method of reasoning which endured for many ages, and was the wisest man of his time, but a notoriously poor provider, living in rags from choice, which conn., pels the belief that Xantippe has been greatly maligned by history.

The Nebula, in which Rev. Ziegler was to take clothes for the naked Siwash, was high and dry on the beach and the trip was postponed, and James Fish is still trying to secure a boat to take him to the Siwash.

wool Growers Not Hurt.

Sheep owners should not be alarmed
over the report that Australian emie-
saries are here looking over the COM
mercial possibilities and especially
congratulating themselves on the pros
poets of selling more wool here after
the duty shall be removed. More wool
en- clothing is needed In this climate
than the people have of late years been
able to afford. and If wooden goods are
cheaper more Of them will be worn.
AS to prices, there are many varieties
Of wool and many Of garments, and in
producing the latter there are great
advantages in mixtures of the former.
Australian wool is largely imported for
mixing with domestic, and the effect Of
removing the duty from foreign wool
may be to increase the demand for the
domestic.
