DEERING, Alaska, Jan. I've have now reached the starting post of the new years Marathon of political and industrial economies, and although the fateful No. 13 will dog our foot steps for a full twelve months, we are optimistic enough to believe that we can overcome it's supposedly bale ful influence and go onward and up- ward to a realization of the bountiful harvest that the outlook promises. This section has proved itself the coming season the greatest era of prosperity in our history. All indi. cations point to a fulfillment of that prophecy. Winter work is well un- der way, some dumps piling up, and a few prospect holes sunk with en- couraging results. Most prospectors are holding off for the days to lengthen out a bit. There is a lot Of prospecting contemplated We have been singularly free from winds up to date, but that fact is enumerated by an exceedingly long cold snap. The Japan current must have slipped a cog or Amundsen's northern ice wedge must have received rap that frightened it, for we have had over two weeks of from 30 degrees to 40 degrees below weather. and the end is-pot yet. Something unprecedented in here.

Ferbert, who has a camp couple of miles or so from the polling place. Gus threw his camp wide open to all corners: no voter barred on account of religion, political utilization or previous condition of servitude.

Whaling Curiosity.

A whale without an ounce Of oil in
its carcass is surely a curiosity. The
crew of the New Zealand Whaling
company's Bakiura relate that whale
80 feet long, rather bedraggled look
ing, but Of fair size, was brought in
by one of the company's vessels to
Russell to be boiled down. The Gus
tomary cutting-up process was gone
through and the parts put into the
boilers. But not an ounce of oil could
be obtained, and it turned out that the
whale had marks on it which suggest
ed that it had been shot on previous
occasion, and that it was suffering as
a result from some form of blood-poi-
soning, which rendered its flesh and
fat useless.

Apples for Health.

The old idea that apples were the
favorite fruit of the god is plausible
theory The freshness Of youth was
ever possessed by those who made ap'
pies their principal diet. Certain it is
that there is no food so valuable. APP
Piles nourish the brain and spinal cord
They contain PHOSPHORUS, albumen
sugar, gum, chlorophyll, malic acid
gallo acid, vegetable fiber and water
They cure govt and rheumatic disor
der and exercise a benef1cent influ.
ence on the liver and stomach. Ripe
apples and bread as diet will do
mere to restore health than drugs.
