IS EITHER
 IGNORANT OR ABUSIVE


 Representative Humphrey, of Wash lngton. belongs to the buzzard wing of the Republican party Mir. EIumph- rey is one, you know, who says Presi- dent Wilson costs the nation Si,O00,- 900 day-or Is it an hour? The one statement is about as true as the other. Here Is another sample of his March-hare figuring.
 Last April the balance of trade against us was $1O.O00,OOO the first time it has been against us since the Gorman-Wilson law went of the stat ute books"
 That must mean 1897. Well, there was no yearly balance of trade against the United States under that tarifi, and since then, under Republican high tariff, the three summer months of 1909 gave an adverse trade balance of almost S1S,OOO,O0o. The New York World is authority for other adverse balances under the Republican pro- tectlye tarlff system: February, 1910: S4,SOO,OOO; March, 1910, $1s,2OO,OOO; April. 1910, nearly S1,OOO,oOO; July 1910, three times that; August, 1910, SS.5O0.O0O. The question that inter- ests us at the present moment is this: Does MT. Humphrey know better or is ignorance an insufficient excuse for an abusive Congressman, even when he happens to be a Republican? - (CUllier's Weekly.)

BRITISH TROOPS LIKE
 IDEA or ADVANCE

LONDON. Nov 1.-The British iroops are inspired by the fact thnt they are advancing on the enemy they are advancing and that the enc my is giving way says q narrative on the operations in France issucd by the government press bureau.
 "Prisonei;s state that their adyanc- ed troops are short of food and are exhausted from continual outpost du- ty.
 We arc able to give our troops more rest and there Is no lack of good food.
 Most of she troops opposing US have only had tso months service. Some men state that these men will not expose themselves in the trenches. NeyertheleiIs the enemy on the front is fighting well and sldlfully and is showing considerable powers of en- durance.g
 "The tendency of the Germans to rely on their splendid war materials, with which they have been so amply provided. rather than upon the em- pIoyment of masses of men becomes more marked. There are now indi- cations, however, that their supply of materials iiI not inexhaustible az was at first thought. The German forces arc by no means what they were wien fighting first began"

 During tho summer Benson pros pected extensively on creek towhich he gave the name Big Horn and finding good prospects, sent to Arch for tho Lambs Together they worked for some days and on September 2rd they all located claims.

He secured Q number of pans which yielded one dollar each and one Of the Lambs washed three dollars from one pan. All the gold is coarse and in Benson's thirty dollars are mug gets ranging from 50 cents to $L4O

WAITING YEAR

WAITING HEAH
 @t-
 This is the last winter of watchful waiting in this part of Alaska. Be- fore tho coming of another winter great numbers of men will be employ ed either in tue actual mining of the AIatanuska coal or in the building of railroads to make possible the trans portation of that coal Right today this part of Alaska is the most prom ising part Of the entire world SO far as English speaking people are concern ed. Look at any place in any country and try to prove to yourself that such Is not the truth. We have O practi- cally virgin territory which contains wealth of various kinds and which is about to be opened up by the richest government on the earth. The man who starts in here with nothing has better opportunities than the great ma iority of people in other lands who are already fairly well supplied with means. They must depend on normal conditions unaided by tho country or by progress while we have the prom lise of being lifted upward and onward on the shoulders Of the Territory's ad- vance. We are watching and waiting now but we are only watching and waiting for the tide, which taken at the flood, leads on to fortune. ."-(Sew ard Gateway)

MUNICIPAL POLL
 TAXES AT FAIRBANKS

FAIRBANKS, Oct. 12.-By many 1t has been thought that the municipal ity would not collect any more poll taxes, owing 10 the law passed by the legislature, providing for 9 ter ritorial poll tax. Such Is not the case, however, and the city will col Iect it's poll tax as usual this year.
 The poll tax assessment will be made here on October 10th, and shortly afterward a collector will start out to gather in the money for the town.

LYNX = KILLS DEER.
Two ear-Old Animal Torn to Bits
Near Pendergast Cottage.

8 Its back torn to ahreds and one
side caved in. the body Of tWo-year-
old deer was found by p. Gray,
Just a quarter Of a mile from the i.
G. Pendergast cottage at Balsam
Beach last evening. The deer IL be-
lieved to have been q victim Of q lynx
which during the past few weeks
has caused much annoyance to the
farmers OF that community. several
highly valued sheep having been
killed and a dog narrowly escaped
death in an encounter with the ami
NAL. Mr.. Gray was attracted by the
barking Of a dog and in going to In
,estigate the trouble heard such fear
full snarH and howls that he re-
turned for his gun. When he again
reached the spot he found the dead
deer, still warm, but badly laeerated:
A search for the animal WILL be made.
Just what kind of an animal
killed the deer Is matter Of conjec-
ture. Mr.. Gray is of the opinion
that 1t was either a lynx or a pan
ther, and others who have seen the
dead body Of the deer are certain
that the killing was done by some
powerful member of the cat family.

IS EXPERT GARDENER
John Lunn Gaining Fame as Success
full Grower of Onions. Cabbage
and Other Produce.
EXPECTS UNUSUAL MARKET

Few market gardeners in the
tate of Minnesota are more success
full than John Lunn. who operates a
large onion and cabbage farm at the
north limits of Bemidji. =
Mr.. Eunn is fast becoming recog-
nized as an expert gardener and dur
ing the past four years his progress
in the business has been watched
with much interest. The growing of
onions is Mr.. Lunn's specially. This
year he has a much larger crop than
ever before, nearly four acres of the
Yellow Globe variety, and one acre
of the Red Globe, now being practic-
ally ready for harvesting. To look
over his perfectly fielded crop one is
made to realize why his efforts are
successful. -
Two acres of Mr.. Lunn's farm is
|planted to cabbage, the late Holland
variety, and some to the early
Charleston. The cabbage are in ex-
cellent condition.
Besides these chief products, Mr..
Lunn has spended plots of Golden
selfIblanching celery; lettuce; to-
matoes; Usage melons, grown from
accEmated seed, and transplanted;
Hubbard SQUASH; cucumbers; Green
Bell peppers: raspberries and ,rhu-
barb. - '. s,:..t =
Fourteen pounds of onion seed
were used by MIR. Lunn in planting
his crop. The farm is located on
the banks of lake Bemidji and ia
equipped with a gasoline engine
pump, with a capacity of 800 gal
Ions per minute. The fields are pro-
wded with a sprinkling system and
in case OF dry weather the crops are
watered at regular intervals. The
last rain brought sufficient moisture
to prepare the onions for the harvest
which will begin about the first OF
September
Il anticipate a record breaker this
year." said Mr.. Lunn, who is sec

HOUSING PRISONERS
: IS HUGE PROBLEM

London, Aug. IA troublesome
problem of the. war is likely to be
the housing and guarding of prison
ers. Already more than 5000 Ger
mans have been captured before the
battles have really begun. The Bel.
gians are sending a large proportion
of these prisoners into France. =
= When the big fighting with at least
100000 men engaded begins the
number Of prisoners probably will
run into vast and embarrassing totals
on both sides. r.s~ . .ssT4s
There will be exchanges of prison
ers, but these are not always easy to
arrange. Another difficulty is antlc1'
zpatedi in the matter Of, commissaries
for unprecedently large armies. The
Germans are even now confronted
with: this gigantic task.
