FAIRBANKS RECEIVER
 AFTER MONEY

fter considering the petition of Re ceiver r. G. Moves, of the Washington Alaska bank, to Judge Fuller, asking for permission to make a demand on R. c. Wood for the return of the sum of $13,000, the court signed an order yesterday authorizing the receiver Of the defunct Washington-Alaska bank to make the demand through his at torney and institute suit in the dis trict court if deemed necessary.
 The petition recites that E. T. Bar nette, J. w. Hill and R. c. Wood orig inally formed the co.partnership known as the Fairbanks Banking Com pany, which was later absorbed by the Washington-Alaska bank. The. lat ter institution, the petition says, is now in state of insolvency, and has been so for a period of over two years. The assets of the institution at this time are insufficient to pay the debts by the sum of about $2OO,OOO.
 The petition recites that on June 30, 1908, the certificate of R. c. Wood in the banking company was cancelled the certificate of deposit issued to him in the sum of $13,OOO. The number of shares held by Mir. Wood was 1SO. This sum, the receiver goes on to say in the petition, has all been drawn out. Permission is asked of the court to demand that R. c. Wood return the $13,OOO, which, the petitioner claims, belongs to the banking company's sue cessors.
 The petition and order were drawn up by o. L. Rider, the new attorney for the receiver, and represent the first steps taken by him to bring an end to the receivership.

WILD HORSES ROAM
 IN B. C. VALLEYS

Three thousand or more wild horses in herds from 30 to 100 are roaming over the hills and valleys in the in- terior of British Columbia, according to report by James Bradley, who, with Gustav Reiland. a veteran pros pector and miner known throughout the bonanza gold camps, has just re- turned from an extended exploration tour of the coast, says the Prince Ru- pert Empire.
 Indians and white prospectors and pack train freighters value these animals more than high-bred horses, said Mir. Bradley. "They are the pro- geny of horses turned loose on the trail by discouraged or dying men dur ing the famous gold rush in the Car ibou country. Thousands of the yer fest tenderfeet' stampeded to the new fields in the early eos. Many of them were incompetent. and. in fact, utter ly helpless in that wild country, and the horses either broke away or were abandoned when the fortune-hunter gave up on the long trail.
 The horses made their feeding grounds in the vicinity of Barkerville for several years afterward, and their offspring wandered northward as the bands increased. They are wild and make trails on the mountains and tim bered country much after the fashion of buffalo in the learly days. and deer at present,
 "The Indians and freighters, work ing in the timbered districts, catch them with snares, such as are used for lynx. In most cases the animals are easily broken and they are better for the rought country than highgrade horses, on account of their stamina and sureness of foot on the mountain trails. We lost horses from our train from time to time, and replaced them with wild animals"

GIVE SOMETHING
TO THE NEEDY.

With Christmas so near. the average
person is seriously thinking of purchas-
ing one or more articles of beauty and
utility for some loved one. While out
shopping, why not anticipate the wants
of some poor child in the community,
and play the role of Santa Claus as you
have never done before. Children have
distorted idea about the muniicence
of that rotund person, as most of US
can testify, for we were children once
and flattened our noses against shop
windows filed with wondrous toys and
creations, hoping against hope that Old
Santa would visit our humble abodes
and satiate our desires. Too often our
day dreams were rudely shattered, be-
cause the much desired toy or gew gaw
failed to reach the desired destination,
but fell into the hands of children of
wealth, who soon tired Of it and cast it
out.
To our mind, the little picture of
''The empty stocking" is the most pa
thetic sketch that artist ever drew. 1t
brings tn the mind of more. than one
the memory of bitter experiences sim
liar to that depicted by the artist; the
anguish and disappointment is over
whelming. Why not be a Santa Claus
to one or more little children whose de-
sires will not be realized on Christmas
morning unless you supplant the work
of the man that drives reindeers, and
who too frequently stops at the homes
of wealth. and forgets to halt before
the hovel. Nothing will give you
greater joy than to personally deliver
them, but if you can not find time to
make the purchases and to deliver
them, hand your money to some of the
faithful ladies of the various church
es, who always seem to know whose
homes are or are not on the Santa
Claus route, and they will be pleased
to make the purchases and personally
see to it that. there will be fewer emp
ty stockings than is usually the case.
This year, do not surfeit your loved
ones with things they do not need but
remember the less fortunate. Elk.

DELICATE OPERATION
PERFORMED SUNDAY.

Doctors Sharpe of L'Anse and Buck
land of Baraga. performed the first OPP
Grafton in skin grating in Baraga
county, when last Sunday at Baraga
they grated $50 pieces of skin from
William Leviture's leg to his left arm.
Mr.. Leviture, who three months ago
was employed at Ontonagon, injured
his left arm and blood poison set in. He
was taken to the hospital, the arm
lanced in fourteen places, and he re-
turned home in three weeks. The skin
from the elbow to the shoulder has
since sloughed off, leaving the flesh
bare. Every treatment known to med
ical science was applied, but the loss
of skin was too great and grating was
a necessity. The flesh will be entirely
covered in a few days.
DIR. Sharpe has had more than local
practice in skin grating. While in
Chicago in August, 1912, he performed
similar operation which gave him
considerab e prominence. The doctor
has been located in L'Anse the past
year, being surgeon and physician for
the Marshall Buffers Lumber Co., and
has enjoyed splendid practice.
The number OF injured and opera
tons required each year in Baraga
county has increased to such an extent
that a hospital should be erected. With
the proper support by the physicians il
could be made self-maintaining.
