sTAMPEDERs SHOULD CONSIDER

Stampeders to the gold dggngs the tributaries of the Chsana Sushanna rver should pause moment and thought the conditions that confront them It not difficult matter for prospector to mush the fields from the end of the railroad at McCarhy and the distance of 100 no miles eight days They assistance crossing the Nazna and Chsone and thus avoid otherwise dangerous feature of the journey And the return they mush from the Chlsana to McCarthys in four days But when carrying pack s back he cannot expect to eight days raons and then land Tn the country with great amount of sions left 1t almost impossible to buy pound of food stufs the Chisana country and the result is that of the several hundred who have already gone foot but few have taken scarcely than enough food last them two weeks all told As consequence the musher has scarcely time locate claim before he compelled to leave the diggngs and out to make for getting food before he can hope to do any prospecting
 The necessity for horses not to transport the propector but rather to greater amount of provisions enable him to remain in the country few weeks to make locations and do prospecting In the of time pack trains will be engaged in taking provisions to the dggng where stores will be established and purchases be made
 Then roadhouses and stores will be established at points the trail where prospectors may and their supplies But before these convenences established time will have elapsed and in the meantime hundreds of stampeders will be going into the interior and with most of them 1t will be of walking up hill and walking down again
 During the early Dawson rush when food thousand crossed the Chcoo pass with comparatively
 little food These men became prey upon their fortunate and rovdent brethren until patience and kindness became outraged Then miners meeting called and 1t decided that should be allowed the country unless he provided with food supplies sufficient last month The possibility of similar action the Sushana country be obvaed if the stampeder will early realize the importance of taking in food sufficient to last them several weeks. It should be the duty of every Corova citizen to impress upon all the necessity providing them selves with ample supply of food before going the gold diggings.

YOUR POLL TAX IS DUE

The legislature put something the people of the territory when the law passed providing for the payment of poll tax of $4 by each male person. If this enactment held valid will bring relief to the people who reside outside incorporated towns Their tax will be reduced $8 to & But the large number of people who reside in the incorporated towns who heretofore exempt will be required to pony $4 each And then the collected will not go into fund for the purpose of improving roads and trails in Alaska As the law has not been given the publicity that contemplated it is not likely that United
 States Adams will attempt to impose the penalty of $1 until peoppe have had reasonable time to make payment But the tax should be paid immediately, thus avoiding any inconvenience penalty. Unless the courts declare the law not sound and beyond the the egs ature to enact the tax of $4 will have be paid by resident of Alaska

EARLY MORNING TRAGEDY
Three Children of Jesse Alum
baugh Burned to Death.

Early Sunday morning the res
idence Of Jesse Almbaugh, one
nile east of Napoleon, caught
fire and was completely consum-
ed. Mrs. Alumbaugh with two
children and her sister were
sleeping down stairs and three Of
their eldest children were sleep
ing up stairs. When the fire
awoke the sleepers, the stair
way leading to the upper story
was enveloped in flames making
It impossible to rescue the chill
dren from this direction. There
was one outside window to the
upper story and to this Mrs. Al
limbaugh placed a ladder. Two
Of the children had made their
way to this window and rescue
seemed easy, but the window
could not be raised, and before
Mrs. Alumbaugh could make an.
opening the floor gave way and
the little ones were precipitated
into the flames below, where res
cue was impossible. They were
entirely consumed. Mr.. Alum
laugh was away hunting at the
time. He saw the fire from a
distance, surmising that the
fine was at his own house, he ran
to the scene only to find his
home in ashes and no one about.
Mrs. Alumbaugh with the two
children who were sleeping with
Ter, and her sister, clothed only
in their night clothes, had gone to
the nearest neighbor some dis
tence away.
Mr.. Alumbaugh supposed that
al had perished until the neigh
bors his wife had aroused, appear
ed on the scene. The tragedy is
indeed a sad one. The property
loss is Of little consequence in
comparison with the death of the
e.,s helpless children. The
father and mother are PROSTATE.
The kindly ministration of neigh
hors and friends is to some ex-
tent consoling, but time alone car
assuage such grief as their must
be.

FARMING" BY MAIL
University of Missouri Offers
Special Courses.

(The Chief Publisher connected
with the U. Of NJ, asks US to
publish the following article.)
That work by correspondence
sn be carried to every person in
the State interested in farming
and the farm home is the opinion
Of Charles II. Williams, secretary
ol the extension division, Univer-

cordingly, Mr.. Williams has ar
ranged to have general and
specific reading courses in ag-
riculture and home economics
given by mail. The fee charged
.is $3.50. A certificate will be
given with each course com
pIeted, which, while not giving
credit toward graduation, will
apmit to higher and more spec
t'zed studies.
The general reading course in
eiculture covers all phases Of
farming to give a broad view.
But suppose a farmer to be es-
ccially interested in stock rails
ing. then he may devote his time
70 this one specific subject. Other
reading courses may be had in
da.rying, horticulture, soils, farm
crops, poultry raising and rural
economics. Experts will direct
The work in each branch.
All courses are open to women
but of especial interest to them
is the work planned in home
economics. This reading course
will deal with such phases Of
home life as cooking, ventilation
house decoration. The aim is
TO give as many short cuts as
possible to good house-keep
ing learned from the experience
Of other women. It will be AZ

Students may enroll for thes
eISes by mail ct any time with
ont examination.
Courses in agriculture may al
so be arranged for high schoo
credit and for credit toward thC
the certificate in the Two-Yeal
Winter Course in Agriculture
IN addition, courses in home
economics are given for uniyer
,ity credit.

CORPORATION SUPERVISION
Made Effective by Our Secretary
of State.

jefferson City. Sept 24-News
ot an Interesting case Illustrating
tie effect Of the new corporation
supervision act passed by the last
Legislature comes from Pleasant
Hill, Cass County. Three citi-
zens some time ago incorporated
land company with a capital
stock of twenty-five thousand
dollars, all subscribed and fully
paid. The charter was obtained
oy the usual showing, all the
subscribers making oath that the
property offered in payment Of
capital stock was fully worth
twenty-five thousand dollars.
-Four thousand dollars was rep
resented by a fifty acre tract of
land, and the remaining twenty
.cne thousand dollars by an option
on another but a larger tract.
The option expired without clos
ing the deal for the land. The
sJockholder that had subscribed
the fifty acre tract became dis
satisfied As a result four suits
were brought in circuit court:
(l) to set aside the deed by
which the land was conveyed to
the corporation; (2) to enjoin
the corporate directors from
transacting any business; (3)
quo warranto to dissolve the
corporation; (4) and for the APP
pointment of a receiver. All
these actions were being stub
hornly resisted.
At this stage of the proceed
ings, Secretary of State Cornell
Iius Roach, eX-officio supervision
of corporations by virtue of the
lew law, took a hand. He dis
patched the assistant supervisor
Mr. A. L, McCawley, to the scene
of the trouble After q CON
ference with the parties litigant,
ifhe lrr %puting attorney ap2 the

ironed out, a stipulation signed

ceiyer Of the State Department S

Fifty dollars deposited in the
state treasury to cover the ex-
Ipenses of the investigation made
by the State Supervisor, all suits
but one disposed of, corporate ex-
istence of the offending corpora
ton ended, and the assets of
the corporation will be distri-
buted under the orders Of the
circuit judge. The enforcement
Of the corporation law under the
administration Of Secretary of
State Roach gives evidence of
practical progress. He not
cnly squeezes out the water but
gives death-dealing blows to the
crooked corporations.

WIDE USE OF ARSENIC
More Than 100000 Pounds
Produced and Imported in
1918.

The United States produced
more white arsenic in 1912 than
ever before, the output for last
year being 3.l41 short tons. val
ued at $190757, against 3,132
sfort tons, valued at $73,40S, in
1911, according to a report on the
subject by Frank l.. Hess, just
issued by the United States Geo
logical Survey The imports in
1912 were also the largest on rec
ord, amounting to more than g.
1856 short tons, valued at $247,-
223, in 1911. The only white ar
scnic produced in the United
States, was that made as a by
product of smelling operations.
White arsenic is used princi-
falIy in glass making and in the
manufacture of Paris green, lead
arsenate, and other insecticides.
With the growth of horticulture
and the necessarily greater atten-
ton paid to killing insect pests,
| th demand for arsenical insecti-
ctdes has grown immensely. Ex-
pcriments conducted by a number
of the State agricultural expert
ment stations have demonstrated
the value Of arsenic when com
bined with lime as an effective
spray against insect pests, while
arsenic solutions have been
found of considerable value when
used as a dip for cattle and
sheep.
A number of arsenic salts and
cXide are used incidentally among
them the bromide. iOdide. trisulp
hide, trioxide, sodium arsenic,
both natural and artificial, is
usedas paint pigment; in calico
printing and dyeing in tanning
and. as it burns with an intense
white light, in fireworks. Or.
lPhgent, The triSnlphide, called al
so kings yellow, is used as a
paint pigment and as a reducing
agent in chemical work. The
trioxide is used in paints; for
preserving hides, both fer taxi
dermiSts and in the leather in
| GuStry; as an antiseptic; and in
k ling animal pests. Sodium ar
senate is used in dyeing with
turkey red oil and in printing
fabrics; the arSenite in making
soaps for use on skins and hides
Potassium arsenite is used as a
reducer for silver in the manu-.
! factTe of mirrors.
