ADAM AND EVE
 ARE CALLED TAKERS

CHICAGO, March 5.-Prof. William Duncan McMiman of the University of Chicago astonished his class today by whacking Adam and Eve as fakes.
 Biblical chroniclers arranged the story of Adam and Eve from folk lore to explain the origin of man." he said.
 "There can be no doubt that Adam and Eve and their tempter, the ser pent. never actually existed The story cannot be considered anything but myth. evolved by the ancients to ac' count for the presence of humans upon earth. The universally credited the ory of evolution smashes the one.man- and-one-woman story. There never was a first man or first woman.
 "If Adam and Eve lived in the Gar den of Eden six thousand years ago and light travels at the rate of 1S6,- 900 miles per second, with out pres ent.day powerful microscopic lenses we should still be able to see them in Paradise"

ARE STAMPEDING FROM
 WRANGELL UP STIKINE

Two communications from Tele- graph creek were received by citizens of Wrangell which conveys the infor- nation that the inhabitants of that place, both the natives and the white people are stampeding to some new diggings in that part of the country which lies beyond Dease lake in the di' rection of Teslin lake, and probably in the Nahlin river region. It is re- ported that strike near Teslin lake, which several parties from Juneau to- gether with "Skookum Jim" of Klond- dike fame, had reported that gold had been discovered on five different creeks and that three hundred claims had already been staked.
 Teslin lake is about one hundred and thirty miles from Telegraph creek, and it is the presumption that the strike reported in Juneau and the one causing the stampede at Telegraph are one and the same.
 Monday a party of four men from Juneau landed at Wrangell with com plete outfit, dogs and all, and as soon as they were able to secure boats, they left for the Stikine river The party was composed of Fred Craw- ford, c. A. McClusky, A Marion and Joe McNaut.
 skookum Jim brought the news to Wrangell and left on the Curacao. Some are inclined to think that he has gone to notify his brother-in-law, MT. Comack.
 Skookum Jim has always main tained that he would never report any thing unless he had another Klondike or better.

A DECREASE IN
 MONEY ORDERS

WASHINGTON. March 5.-Accord- ing to information given out by the postoffice authorities, the information al money order department had de- crease in its business last year by more than $12OOO,OOO This is ac- counted for because of the foreigners depositing their money in the Postal Saving Banks instead of sending it to the old country.
 Before the institution of the Postal Banks the foreigners had no faith in American banking houses and sent their money home to the old country. Immediately upon the innovation of the Postal Banks they started placing the savings with Uncle Sam, in whom they apparently had the greatest con fidence.

SURVEY
 PARTY GOING IN

D. W. Eaton and party of ten men, who comprise the American Boundary Survey. now in Alaska for the purpose of completing the making of the boun- diary between Alaska and Yukon Ter ritory. are aboard the Northwestern enroute to Cordova. They are accom- panied also by Messrs. Mussel and Kit. chic of the Canadian boundary survey.
 Mr. Eaton stated that it was their intention to start at the point where operation ceased last fall and work along the Hist meridian toward Mt St Elias. This. the distance of 95 miles along the meridian between Mt Naghat and Mt. St Elias. is the last ling in the international boundary be-. tween Alaska and Canadian territory that remains to be permanently estab- lished physically by the erection Of monuments.
 This country is very rugged and diff cult to traverse. In fact up to last year it had never been explored and mapped, and was supposed to be all impregnable ice field. Last season Mir. Eaton explored the country and found several valleys between the White river and Mt St Elias in which monuments could be placed. The par ty will now go in and properly mark and monument the unfinished survey. The Canadian government will also send a party to the White river valley to work in conjunction with the Amer ican party on the Chitina valley side. An attempt will be made to climb
 some of the highest peaks which reach an altitude of 16,OOO to 17OOO feet. The photo,topographic process will be utilized. Pictures from the summits of high mountains and con, nection made by triangulation from which the maps are made, it being impractical owing to the physical con dition of the country to do it any other way.
