FEAST OF PASSOVER
 OCCURRED THIS WEEK

Monday evening, April 2l, was the first day of the Jewish Feast of the Passover, and was celebrated by the local Jewish community in customary form.
 This was the 3,404th celebration of the feast-the same having been insti~ tuted by Moses l,49l years before Christ. Leviticus says Tn the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, at even, ye shall eat unleavened bread until the one and twentieth of the month, at even." Monday, the 2lst, corresponded with the Jewish l4th.
 Moses directed that sheep which had been killed four days previously should be roasted whole (head, legs and all) and eaten with unleavened bread and bitter herbs. Moreover, as the feast celebrated the Israelitish depar- ture from Egypt, they were to take the meal with their Joins girded. shoes on foot and staff in hand. In addition, the meal was to be eaten in haste.
 On that first night, 3,404 years ago. the Angel of the Lord passed over Egypt, staying the frstborn of the Egyptians, but sparing the Israelites. whose homes could be distinguished by their having blood from the sheep of which they had partaken sprjnkled on their doors.

 The diggings were first discovered by the Drease brothers in 1906. and have been worked by them every sum- mer since. One of the brothers was in Seward recently, when he declared that there were good quartz showings in the district, but that nothing had been done to develop them on account of the inaccessibiity of the region.

PETER 4. WELCH
 ADJUDGED INSANE

Before Commissioner Albrecht and a jury of six, Peter A. Welch, a laborer, ot Discovery, was last Thursday found 10 be insane, and committed to the care of the U $ marshal.
 It appeared that Mir. Welch had been subjected to much privation during the past winter, Last sum- mer he put i'll 5 shifts for Riley x Marston, but that was all the work he got. Living alone, he brooded over bis troubles, and harbored the delusion that he was a victim of the labor unions, whom he suspected of pursuing and watching him. In fact, he looked upon everyone as a possible enemy. While he has i'm proved considerably since his arrest and appeared 10 be quite rational in most things, the jurymen were of opinion that he needed proper care, hence tbey recommended his detention.
 The following composed the jury: C P. Wood, Jos. H Smith, Geo. 4. Chapin, H. Donnelly, Chas. G Lamont and Bob Poole Welch was represented by Attorney Charles E fIn El0r

P0OLRO0M PROPRIETOR
 FINED FOR SELLING LIQUOR

Deputy Marshal Harry r. Sheppard returned from Ophir City "Wednesday morning. bringing with him a prisoner in the person of J. NJ White.
 White was arrested at Cripple City and charged with selling liquor without a license He was taken to Ophir, where he entered plea of not guilty. Tried before Commissioner w. A. Ninal he was convicted, and sentenced to pay fine of S400 and costs, which amounted to something in the neigh b0rh0od of $500. He refused to pay the fine, and the White x LaFurgey pool room at Cripple was attached to secure the costs. About this time Bob La Furgey, who had been visiting in Idit arcd, returned to Cripple, when he, too, had to face a charge similar to that preferred against his partner. He pleaded guilty and was fined 500 and costs. but the ine was remitted and he paid Whites costs and released the building.
 White has been brought to lditarod for the purpose of serving out the amount of his fine. This is equivalent to a 2O0-day sentence. unless the fine be sooner paid.

DISq'RICT COURT
 ABOUT JULY 2

Commissioner G. W. Albrecht has been notified by the clerk of the dis trict court of the Fourth division that Judge Frederick E. Fuller has tenta- lively named Monday, July :. as the date for the opening of the Iditarod term - court.
 While July : may thus be taken as the approximate date for the com menceme0t of the term, it is not finally decided, because there is a probability that a short term will be held at Ruby before the court comes to Iditarod.
 There are good many civil cases on the Idtarod calendar and several more suits will be filed within the next week or two. The criminal docket is d light one.
 Just what business there will be at Ruby cannot be learned, but it is prob able that that place will be made headquarters for all Yukon river cases, a course which undoubtedly would prove more economical than the pres ent custom of taking such cases up the Tanana to Fairbanks.

Ants which Plant and o.ke.

The extraordinary habits OF the har.
vester ant have been known to nat.
uralists. Certain species not only har
vest and store in granaries the seeds
upon which they feed, but actually
plant and cultivate an annual crop
of their food seeds. Stll more re-
markable stories are told of an ant
that is common In Dalmatia, the Mes
sor barbarus. According to DR.. Ne
ger OF the Dresden forestry school,
this ant not only cuts leaves and
gathers Seed brit actually makes
makes bread or BISCUIT The seeds
are first sprouted. then carried into the
sun and dried. then taken back to the
underground chambers. where they are
chewed into dough. The dough Is
then fin9'ly made into tiny cakes.
which are baked in the sun, then care
fully stored for future use. From
these observations II would appear
the. the art Of cooking is not confined
to the human race.
